Lebanon, and their vicinities, that we are prepared to put on 'roofs on most liberal terms, and at the shortest notide. We respeetfully call the attention of persons &- bent to build, to our invaluable method of roofing, now much used throughout the principal cities of the United States and their vicinities: This mode of roofing having all. the combined requisites of eheepness, Durability, and Security against Fire and Water, and dispensing with high gable walls; the roofs require an inclination if' not mo '0 than three-quarters (I) of an inch to the 'foot, and in Many cases saving the entire coat of rafters—the ceiling joist being used. The gutters are made of the same material, without any_ extra charges ; consequently, our roofs aro put up at almost half the cost of either Tin, Slate, or Shingles. The material being of an imperishable nature, it surpasses all others la Durability ;—besidos, iu ease of any casualty, it is the most easily repaired of any other roof now in nse. Yet, the best proof wo can offer as to its being both fire and water proof, are our sonny re ferences, to,aoy ono of .whom wo aro at liberty to refer.' 8..-:-But-let it ho distinctly .understood, (since wo manufacture our own comphaition, and do the work in person,) that we warrant all our work proof against both Fire arid 'Water ; if they prove contrary, we will most willingly abide the reiults.

'Twits her firsts at tendaineo at tho school of which I was a member. Timid and shy, yet of a beauty, and disposition so angelic; the hearts of the entire school-seem: ed to rise, "en '111.08 , 36' 4 as it were, to welcome her to their companionship. My own heart bounded within me, and with a:strange sort of feat:4,ollA I did not at the time comprehend, I longed. for some acei , lent, or eiremitstance, that would bring its into elet, - er cornuiuniornor (1111 wish in Returning from hommthe bestiley, intffeiting my way through the quantities of anew, that had fallen dui ing the night, my mind completely fill ad with the bright vision of yesterday, and little dreaming how near! Was, to the Itecumplistinient of my wish, I stumbled orer-semething lying di rectly in my path, and completely envered by the drifting snow. Thinking it but a billet of wood, ore stone, :I Wasabout to pass on, when some article of cloth ing caught my eye, and I determined to examine it. I soon removed the min*, mid to my ,horror discovered, that it, was a human hody,—a , titite girl. I turned her over, for she was lying on her face, MIA how shall I describe my feelings, when I saw the cold, pale, yet still beatitiful features Of Clara I neither fltinted, nor shriek ed, but a sort of deep•despair settled on - my heart.;' I felt...as though I had lost all that Eloped, and a: suffocating sensation of the keeneSt agony„ .: ,near-. ly drove me mad. . Young as I was, I felt for her the most aerated' lave, and to lose her so soon, (for I thought shep. was Ahead) almost crated Besidu her, its contents spread over the snow, lay. her dinner baskut, - while a gash its , her tem ple :sufficiently nem:Muted for the position I found her in. For some minutes I was so oppressed by the painful circumstance ; that I steal gazing iu perfect helplessness upon' her inanimate form.— Then clasping her iii my . arms, realled upon her, by every endearing namo 2 could think of, to awake. f recollected nothing more until I.foUnd myself at home, my mother kneeling beside ay . couch, and myself too weak, even to changemsy position in bed without assistance. • , For' some time, I could not imagine riby ieii there Then the circumstances one after the other rushed upon me. Again, I saw those cold, calm features. I remembered it all, and shrouding my face in the corerlid, I wept long and bitterly.. 'My Mother hearing my sohsi came to•my bed-- 'side, -end bending tenderly over me, asked in her bwn 4weet voice, if I fort better. "I do 'Mother," I replied, and then with trem bling eagerness, rcqucstcd•h ' cr to give me all the particulars of the death, and funeral of Clara. "The death, and funeral of Clara! toy son, I fenr your river has not yet loft you. Clara,' is Still alive—she was merely stunned by her fall, and you rescued and carried her to the school room, before she had remained under the snow Jong cnough to freeze. -She hascompletelY recior. ered.: liar father, brought her ever to see flag week, but you were so unwell, that wo rve4 forced to deny them admittance to your chamber." After two months, during which Clara and myself beennio inseparable companions, I was declared. sufficiently recovered to take my plane at school. She was still in attendance, and together we stu died and played. * * Thus flowed on tranquilly and. lovingly my sehoolboy days, and as years rolled round from the timid, shy, little maid, Clara had grown into a handsome, modest, girl of sixteen. I had never made any. open declaration of 'love to hei-, and we needed none. Our touts were tts open volumes to each other, and on their pages, we could and did read, the holy chapter of boundless love.— We lived but in each others presence, antltogeth er we walked, or - rode, and many a dying pillow was made softer, by the blessed ministrations of this angel in -human guise. * * * The first sad blow to our drotan of happiness, was the necessity of my departure for the college of P—, at which my friends desired to have me matriculated. The hour of departure drew near, and, as if with instinctive knowledge of future events, the bonds of our love and olfaction were drawn closer, if possible, than before. Soon we met for the last time, and forever will the memory of that meeting be impress:ad upon my heart. The tear full tenderness of her oft repeated "good bye."— The anxiety she expressed for my welfare while absenti god our last end embrace, are as vivid to day as at their occurrence. All all! are remem. bored, and could she from that blest abode, to which her'gentle spirit has since winged its look. down upon me, her smile would sanction the truth of every line. We parted, Ito the cies sie shades Of my "Alma Mater." She remained the light and life of her own home, and deserving by her charity and christian conduct, the reward she so soon received. Weeks rolled swiftly on. Onr eorreepondence, the regularity of whioh bad . • . . not before been broken, suddenly ceased, and while waiting anxiously for something which might explain such unusual neglect, 1 received a letter from her parents, informing me of her sick ness, and imploring me it . I would see -her again before death claimed her for his own to lose no. time in returning. In three hours I was heart broken. I stood beside her dying bed. Ent what a change bad been effected, *here before all had been health and bloom, now appeared the sunken eye—the hollmf cheek, and the pale feker wasted features. "Oh! Frank I'm- so glad you have come. have prayed a:erne - 80y t; see you.once more i?e fore I died, and God hasiistened to mY tion ! can now die. contented:" I tried to reply, but grief• so: choked-my utter nnee - tbat I• was unable to articulate a-single syl:- and..kneeling beside her ectuelvi gave *ay ao pay agony, in: a .t 1 tearg,, "Frank. do not weep for.me. I ani:goin g home t, We ilia'', one day meet neiiee neeor nleire,to part!". Her voice was growing faint, anti as I bent over her, she requested me to allow her to take one last look on the flowers and, fields she Was leaving.-- Haisingher.in my arms,. I bore her to the win dow, and after gazing for a few mordents nPen ~ sweet smilesunshine and flowers Without, with a sweet smile she said, .."But for , your sake and that of y m 'friends, I do.not regret mY . departure in the. least.

Her value failed, and the death - rattle in her throat, gave e'vidence to her distracted friendSof ~speedy release., It ceased.
