Ir Is believed that the time has Gene in the progress
of American architecture, when the Akettb .no
longer be asked, "What : lblill*lo rise roofing?
but, "Wutne CAN wsomut Tau BEST Swerc."—
Older countrieS hawkaig sduce established the fact,
that no material Is so well, adapted, and so durable, as
Slate for covering buildings. Two obstacles to its
general use in this corintry_have exiAted hrectutoro:
first, the transition character of society, which 16,
necessarily opposed,, t¢ pernompnce , ii,architecture
and sokiud; tfia gre.4 pundmicehrid lo!prlce of lam
her. The !irk imPedimentiiitipldlyjoielding, to buil
and riper ideaskin the subject of building, and the oth
er must soon give away to the scarcity and advancing
price of lamberAmitable for roofing purposes: ,
We submit s fewlinfiding advantages oftt Slate riot:
It is superior to every other ht appearance.
It is easily put on.
It saves Inrrairp.,
It Is fire brOor. '
It Is imperishable. '
The Twin City Slate CoMpany's Nines are In North
ampton County, Penn's. Tho
' dark blue, unchangeable In color, spllfis in perfectly
smooth plates of any size required, and hardens stead
ly by exposure to the atmosphere; No Slate In the
United States is superior to lt,in all the qualities mien:
tial to a good roof, and we think but little equal to It.
It le tarnished at the yard in Pittsburgh, at the rate of
02.00 a imam (one himdred square feet), which with
expense of laying, will add 'about. 25 per cant. to the
cost of a shingle roof at Tiresent prices.
' Samples of Slate may seen, and orders left at the

'O D TO•
o.' L.'l NEW;
Gram Mar.
In an article which appeared' recently in .
this column, we endeavored briefly' to', shewl
tbe fraporcanco and,utility of a' kr:on:lodge of
grammar; and proinised tp tell atanotber time '
when and how we think:olS very 'useful hranch,
of cdncrttinn Stiould be taught ;Whieb prompts
ice now propose to redeem.
We deem it scarcely, necessary to cite the
fact thilt, to mAst pupils; gronunar RS genefal
y tanght,-is the most dry irksome; unicvit•
ing and uninerestingstudyfoudin the en
tire curriculum of our schools," froth that of
the rival district toitheliniversiti')Ror need
we state, as a ( fact not
_well. and genetally
known to tsachethand , the more intelligent
portion of the public atlare; that very few
persons are able to present grammar to, pupils
even in a tolerable interestingmanner; while
nineteen in twenty or those who are called
teachers do little more or less than create m
the minds of their pupil such a pshistefor it
as to di va£ therri Of tiny &Oro to :ii*mter the
subitxt. Beni istiona consist of nOthing be
yond a memoritor recital of-unexplained 'and
(to the pupil) unmeaning rules and defini-
dons. Words, onuses and sentences as unin
telligible as those of a language be has tnever
heard, the pupil is required to-, memorize; he
Is not taught to make practical use of them by
w ritton exercises, nor (what is of vastly more
utility and efficiency) to apply them in his
daily conversation. By his ready memory,
however, he is enabled to re:al:Ain his pniud
rules and definitions; and beeanse he can re
peat readily that which ho has niemorized, , ho
is praiied by both teacher and parents, find
led' to believe that hb is a grammarian
whereas he is continually violating the rules
of syntax hi conversation:and is perhaps un
able to write the most bnef letter in e a clear
and correct lancuage.
It is no uncommon thing forteachers wl
teaching grammar to use ungrammatical
pressions, and to allow their pupils to do
same without once - correcting
. them. or in
manner calling their attention to their mac.
coracles.
lAgain therouie itsaishe; who are. accm
In the use of language theinselves, ana - occa•
. vititiksitialeptii?iktheliffrti
nothing of the synthetic part of gramma,
They parse and analyze. They, perhaps, have
their classes so thoroughly drilled that they
tell readily what any. sentence given to them
is comilosed of—can dissect it in the most
skillful and scientific manner—but ales! they
know nothing of synthesis ; they are unable
to make sentences, and rifler nil is not this
the great end and aim of studying grammar?
Certainl3. What we have to do then, as
teachers, is to instruct pupils in the correct
use of language in conversation ; and to teach
them to ?email their thoughts to writing; to
construct sentences.
When should grammar be taught? We an
swer, it slionld be taught all the time ; and the
child should receive his first instructions when
he first begins to talk; and co latently from
that period until he has become so confirmed
in an accurate use of his mothertonglie that
he violates no rules of either orthography or
syntax.
A correct use of- language is never acquired
by the study of a text hook alone; it is learn
ed by habit and imitation. - A child may
thoroughly memorize a - dozen text-books and
yet give no evidence hi speaking .or writing
that it has any knowledge of grammar. On
the other hand; iehild which has never learn.
ed a stogie sentence of. a text-book, but has
been from its earliest infancy accustomed to
hear nothing but correct language, never vio
lates a single rule of syntai; never uses other
than accurate language. llenoe in answer to
the question how grammar should be taught
we say it must be ttegbt only in part fromlbe
text-book, and nto4ly by. example and prac
tice. Teachers should carefully habituate
themselves to an accurate use of language in
conversation ; and should never allow a pu
pil to '&nimit a blunder, or use cant expres
sions, 'or vulgarisms without criticism—nor
ever if ho can prevent it.
The slate and the blackboard should be in
constant.' use in teaching this branch. Every
pupil as Often as thrice a week should be re•
quired to wills sentences of his own compoiition
04 the slate or blackboard ; and the most ex
', act care should be taken to bawl everyeentence '
correct in every partieniarin syntax 'pane-
tuation, and orthogr a phy.' Care should' also
be taken to correct every error conimitted
conversation, not - only during - recitations in
grammar, but upon all occasions and at elf
times. • • ,
A very common error in conversation '
among children, and a,--taatority,.of adults in
some localities, is that of using two ',negatives
where only one is required. Every day ono
hears such expressions as these: "I hain't
1, got within ;" "I aint agoin no place ;" "Yoe'
don't know nothbr about it ;" "I didn't
• do• 1
• within to 'em," eta. .
.• . . •
And anc:ther error, that dining the Object
ive, case of the personal' pronouns where the i
xioniimitive is required, and also that of using
the wrong number and tense of verbs, Is Yery
common in this , immediate vicinity t and we
regret to say that it is not confined unite illit
crate portion of our coremunlty. Go - _where
one ;will ono' continually hears thisbarharism•

DARKNESS AND DAWN.I
A 'ROMANTIC INCIDENT BY JAMES BOSSE
"Some year= ago, while making a briefj so
journ in the City ofidiristoU act out one even
ing with n friend-for a stroll throngklthe
city. We had I,7isitcd several places Of inter
est; and were on our return to our hbtel; in
passing through a dark and narrow .street,
female, closely Muffled in a coarse hood—
which, thrown over hei head, was drawn
around her face, sons to conceal all butlher
eyes—hurriedly: crossed over from the oppo
bite side of the ; Way, and accosted 'us n ac
cents of despair : • '
"Gentlemen, for the bye - of heaven, give
me money ! My Mother is dying othimger,
and I have not wherewith to purchase a mor
sel of food !"
We were both struck with the tone of hel
voice, for though agitated by a feeling.otiles
peration, it had a peculiar sweetness, amd hrtr.
language was that of one both educated ,and
refined.
"Do not think me inquisitive," said lmy.
friend, in a kindly tone, as lie drew forthl his
purse, "if I ask , yelp what misfortuneshas
brought you to this? jfor it is evident yoni are
no common applicant for charity!"
"Oh, no, sir, no I" She said, shrinking back
iota rself, as 4 were ; "I never asked! for.
charity before ; And though I have not tasted
food for two long days, I woull .aocrrief'per-
IFit than ask it for myself now; but I' could
not see her die, My only i frienn—Oh, I coda
not see her die!" •
"Here," Said my comp4tdon. placing a Btnu
in her hand which I immediately doubled.
clutched the money like a miser, and
for a moment or two was completely over
powered by' her emotions. Then, virttb"a
• choking effort, she gasped forth—
" Thanks, gentlemen ! may heaven bless
you." -
She turned away,, and ,took two or three
hasty stops, and , then, stopping suddenly; she
looked around, and added— .
"You asked what misfortune brought'; me
to this, and I shellac= ungrateful If I refuse
to tell. ". • • ,
"Never mind," said ray friend, "the recital
will give you pain, and therelbre, I pray , you,
consider the question unasked." • ,
"Ycur noble generosity overpowers ;'me,
sir," she rejoined, in a tremulous Yoke, "and
my pride shall give way. If you have efew
minutes to spa re,' come with me, and you
shall know 0.' ,3 .
"Nay,". said I. "donot lot us intrude upon
your sorrows, tiniest you think we can be of
farther eminence. You are welcome te the
little wo have given, which should bo doubled
if we had more to spare, but we have no
right to claim your secret in return.".
She boiled her face m her shawl and burst
into tears. • •
• "Wake' she sobbed, "if all mankind were
thus generous how many miserable beings
might now. be happyl .Come with me ,and
hear my 'AMT.! ;I know I can trust. you, /aid

wildly and fondly into the manly t h e of him
who snpported her, she murmured :

Courtship and Love.
• ,
Therels a lilt of sentiment uttered by the
heroine in the play "Cutler the Gasdight" on
the subject of Courtship and Love, that seems
to reach every womanly heart, which may be
as welcome to readers as to hearers.
"Courtship," sags, the sad girl-7-who, . has
had a woeful experience iu the text from
- which the whole solemn sermon of married
life takes its thetue.i As lovers are discon
tented and unhappy, so al you would bo hap
py all the. years of your life, listen to the
voice advising you :
"Let the woman you look upon be wise or
vain, beautiful or homely, rich or poor she
has but one thing which she really gives or
refuses s her hea rt.! Her beauty, her wit, her
accomplishments she may sell to you—but
her love is the treasure without money and
without price ! bile only asks in return that
when you look upon her your eyes shall speak
a iliac devotiim, when you address her your 1
voice shall be gentle and loving. That you
slaill notdespise her because she cannot un
nerstauthill at once your vigorous thoughts
and ambitious designs for when misfortune
a d evil have defeated your greatest purpos
eslher,love remains to console you.
'Wei look to the treelbr strength and gran
dchr—do not despise the dowers because their
fragrance is all they have to give. Remem
ber Love is all a woman has to give—but it
Is the only earthly thing that . Cod permits us
to carry beyond the grave."
