REsrECTFULLY inform the eitizenz... of liar.

roofs on most liberal terms, and at the shortest
notice. •
We respectfully call the attention of persons 0-
bout to build, to our invaluable method of roofin g ,
now much mn.id throughout the principal cities of
the United States and their vicinities. This nimbi
of roofing having nit the combined requisites of
ellenpnes;: , . Durability, and Security against Fire
and Water, and dispensing- with high gable walls;
the roofs require an inclination Lf not ma e than
three-quarters (i) of au inch to the foot, and in
many eases saving the entire cost of rafters—the
ceiling-joist being used.
The gutters are cuole of the same material,
without any extra charges ; consequently, our
roofs are put up at almost half the rust of either
Tin, Slate, or Shingles. The material being of
en imperishable nature, it surpasses all others in
Durability ;—besides, in ease of any casualty, it
is the mist easily repaired of any other roof now
iu We. 1701, the hest proof we can offer as to its
being Loth lire and water proof. are our many re
fereutes, to any one of whom we ore at liberty

But a blessed shore appears;
Kneel beside, me, husband dearest,
Let me kiss away thy team.

When it vanishes away.
Lay the gem upon my bosom,

See t bow to my heart she nestles,

I will answer if she calls,
And my breath will stir her ringlets,
When my voice in blessings

In her heart; when years pass o'er her,

TRAVELING ACQUAINTANCE,
On Tuesday, the twentieth of July last, I bad
occasion to set out northward, as usual, from Ea
ton Square. I was a little late and hurried, and
there was not a very varied collection of passen
gers to choose from. As I walked hastily by the
side of the already occupied carriages, the un
thinking guard would, in his impatience, have
twice consigned um to durance vile—once in com
pany with a whole juvenile fancily, who had al
ready commenced eating and smelling of ham
sande- iehes, and once with no less than five Cal_
edonians, only waiting fur an Englishman that
they might begin to dilate upon the perfections
of their native land. cast myself into the last
through-carriage in despair, and without so much
as looking before me, It was probable that my
luck would be bettor; it could hardly, at all e
vents, be very much worse.
Beside myself, the carriage bad but one other
occupant; a young man of an altogether gentle
man appearance, except, perhaps that his clothes
looked suspiciously new, and his hat somewhat
too glossy. He was not reading the Times so in
tently but that he could spare a scrutinizing
glance at the new arrival, as I rammed my car
pet-bag under the seat with my bands, and kept
a pretty sharp look out, under my right arm, on
him. When I rose, be was again buried in—yes
iu the advertisement sheet. The gentleman.
then, had probably some good reason for conceal
ing his talent fur observation. Nobody who is
not in want of a situation gets wrapped-up in nu
advertisement sheet; and my companion, I felt,
was in want of no such thing. His profession,
whatever that might be, had been settled long
ago, and the tishing-rod and guide-book which re
posed over his bead, dischsed a young gentleman
with money to spare, who was about to take a
summer holiday among the trout streams of the
north. Ono circumstance which occurred just be
fore we started, persuaded me that he mast be a
lawyer, (and indeed, as afterwards turned emit,
his pursuits did somewhat partake of the nature
of that calling) so much did it smack of ready
reasoning and practi,Md acuteness. Leaning out
of the window as the train began to move, the
wind carried away his glossy hat, whereupon, in
stead of sitting down forlornly, and muttering
good gracious! or confound it! the young man
seized upon his hat-box and launched that after
the missing property.
'My hat-box,' be exclaimed, in answer to my
stare of amazement, 'has got my F,dinharg ad
dress in it, but my hat has not. The ono is of
little use without the other, and it is probable,
since we have barely left the station, that they
will both be found to me by the next train.
Here was an original! here was a grand ex
ception to five-fifths of the human race who tray.
el in first -glass carriages ! I bugged myself trilh
the notion of having secured so promising a com
panion, and that, too, after such R couple of pre
vious escapes•
'But how do you know?' I urged, because I
lied nothing better to say, and was determined,
at all risks, not to stiffer the eowrersationto drop;
'how do you know that somebody won't steal
them?'
'I don't know,' replied two other, with it con
temptuous dryness, 'but I do not think it proba
ble; the articles would fetch so small a price that
the reward would be likely to be quite as remun
erative as the swag itself, and, of course, without
the risk.
The swag ! Did any body who travels first
class ever hear such an expression ? I was a good
deal piqued, also, at the tone of annoyance in
which he spoke, and I replied tartly:
don't understand thieves' logic, nor the lan
guage either! -
'Ali, I do;' responded my companion, careless
ly. And he resumed his paper. -
We had passed Rugby, and were flying through
the dark dominions of King Coal, before either
of us again broke silence.
'Como,' cried my bare-headed acquaintance,
suddenly, 'there is no occasion for vs two to quar
rel; only nothing puts me so out of temper as to
see a man proud of hisignorance. Now you are
a keen long-headed fellow enough .1 can see' but
you d'en't know anything.
'Perhaps not,' I replied, still annoyed. by the
man's manner, and the unaccustomed position of
, econd fiddle, in which I found myself; 'but I
have really no ambition to loom thieves' logic.'
'What a type of the respectable classes of this
country you do afford,' mused the other coolly,
'in this your excessive obstinacy and conceit.—
You hare no ambition to learn, and yet, I dare
say, that you, yourself, are concerned, either di
rectly cr indirectly, in endeavoring to diminish
crime, and pot down the profession of roguery.—
You help to elect a member of parliament who
votes upon social subjects; you subscribe to be
nevolent associations, for the moral rescue of
criminals ; you consitler the convict question to
he an exceedingly important one, and yet you—'
Here this irreverent individual actually burst out
laughing. 'What would you think of a doctor,
now, who hod prescribed for a patient into the
particular feature of whose case he had really no
ambition to inquire ?'
am not a doctor!' I reared, out of all pa
tience ; 'and I wish all the thieves in England
were to be hang to-morrow:
'The country would be very sadly dep ipulated,
replied the other impaseively: 'you and I would
certainly never meet ngain.!
'This is downright insult,' I exclaimed, with
indignation; shall take care to change carriages
and company at the very next station.'
'Nay, sir, I meant no offence,' responded my
companion, gravely; referred only to myself
as being doomed to be cut off in the flower of my
days, if your wishes should be curried into effect.
I have been a pickpocket from my very cradle;
'and,' added ho after a pause, mu thankful to
soy that I have not been altogether unseeesssfill
in my vocation.'
I was startled for an inslant ty the num . 's seri

he rose up to It is inn height, and the two aristo

another set of digits ungloved and not particular.

'You were reading the advertisement shect/-

'Yes, sir,' he retorted, 'because I saw that pre
tence of that kind to a person of your intelligence
would be futile. I always change my tactics with
my company.'
I began to feel very tenderly for this poor fel
low, whom doubtless circumstances had driven to
his present dreadful calling, but whose inental en
downtents had evidently fitted him for far better
things.
'But why,' I urged, 'not hare picked my pock
et, my young man ?'
'Because, sir,' he answered,!l am now bent on
pleasure, and not on business, unless something
very enticing should come in my way; open and
unreserved conversation, toe, such as I felt I
could indulge in with you, is to one in my situa
tion' (the poor fellow sighed) 'too rare n happi
ness to be easily forgone; besides,' he added, re
assuming his natural tone, 'you dont carry your
bank notes in your pocket at; all.'
I felt myself glowing all twer'as red as beet
root or boiled lobster, butt managed to articulate
as calmly us I could, 'Bank notes? ab, that's a
good joke. I very seldom have anything of that
kind to entry, I'm sorry to say.'
'Yes, but when you have?' interrogated the o
ther, slily. •
'Well, sir, when I have, what then ?' I retor
ted, with assumed carelessness.
'Why, whet a very strange place,' remarked he
slowly and impressively; your neekloth seems
to be for keeping them safe !'
'How the devil did you come to know that?' r
cried, in astonishment.
'What does it signify ? What can be the value
of thieves' logic?' he answered derisively. am
sure you have no ambition to be informed.
Tray tell,' I entreated, 'pray tell! I humbly
:opulugise;' I bad very nearly robbed myself of a
most interesting conversation through my own
ill humor. 'lt is very true that I have a number
of Scotch notes in the place you mention, which
my purse would not hold ; but what on earth
made you discover it?'
'lt was very simple reasoning,' he replied, 'and
scarcely needs explanation; stiffeners are seldom
worn now, and yet your neckerchief had t (nue
thing in it; you were anxious about that some
thing, and put your lingers to it involuntarily a
dozen tunes; it was not through solicitude for
your neat appearance, for you never touched the

your neck, Itemise instead of scratching, you
simply tapped it, as a man taps his fob to be as

*Well,' said he, 91.;ii not for me, to speak about

could put you up to the time of day in several
matters.'
, Put me up to it,' I cried, with enthusiasm, and

Whereupon, I am bound to say that my corn-,
minion communicated to me such en array of in
teroiting facts regard his calling as would have
stunned a parliamentary bluebook, and beguiled
the way for hours with conversation, or rather
monologue, of the most exciting kind. Lard By
ron states that one of the pleasant: persons he
ever met in his life was a pickpocket, and I has
ten to endorse his lordships opinion with my
own. I felt all that satisfaction in listening to
my nefarious acquaintance which belongs to en
intercourse with one during a tempoly truce; the I
delight which a schoolboy feels in playing at
cricket with his pedagogue ; or the pleasure which
is experienced when a bishop happens to join, for
once, in the chorus,of one's own comic song. So
affable, so almost friendly, an air pervaded his
remarks that the most perfect sense of security
was engendered within me. I could scarcely im
agine that my agreeble compan ion could have
ever been reality concerned in a fradulent trans
action, and far less in any deed of violence.
We bad just left Preston, and be was coned&
ing a highly interesting account of how bad mon
ey was circulated in the provinces, when a sudden
thought etre& me, to which nevertheless I scarce
ly liked to givu : uttcrance. I felt exceedingly de

misfortune or otherwise, bad failed in the Intel
loctua/ brooches of his profession,how the garrotte
was effected. I tremble for his answer, and half
repented of having said anything so rude as soon
ns the question had left my lips. He, however,
did not blush slightly and becomingly, smiled
with the confidence of a master in some art, who
is ignorantly interrogated as to his knowledge of
its first prilleiplos, pulled np his false collar with
his real hands, and thus delivered himself.
'Why, singularly cndugh, sir, the garotte is my
particular like.'
My satisfaction at this avowal was, as may he
imagined complete. It was like the question
about lingoumont mooted among the omnibus
passengers, being'referred to the strange gentle
man in the corner' with the Roman nose, who
turned nut to be the Duke of Wellington.
How eloquent did my fraudulent friend become
about his favorite topic! What hairbreadth es
capes from the police and other intrusive persons
interrupting him in the pursuit of his vocation,
he had at various times experienced ! Let clone

and who bit my friend's arm in such a manner
that it was useless fora reek.
'And you did these feats of yourself and with

'Quite alone, sir,' replied be, 'bur, in all "eases,
the garotters were several inches shorter than
myself: with a man of your size, for instance,'
and he laughed good-ilinnoredly, 'it would be al
most an impossibility.' •
I laughed rory heartily :3 this notion too.—
Would he be so good no to show me, just to give
me an example how the thing was done?
'I throw my arm from the back of your neck,
like this,' said he, suiting the action to the word,
but the very greatest delicacy of touch. 'You
are sure I em not ineonvonienein you ?'
'Not at all,' said I. 'Go on.'
'I then close the fore arm tightly. Stoop a
little lower, please; thank you, and compress the
windpipe with. . . ."
Where was I? Villy was I lying on the floor of
the carriage instead of sitting - on the corner scat?
Why was my neckcloth unfastened, end where
were the banknotes which it had contained?—
These questions, in company with many others,
presented themselves to my mind as the train
glided into Carlisle station. Above all where was
toy agreeable companion? I knew by the uner
ring )iradshnw that the train stopped nowhere be
tween Preston and Yes, butit did though,
just for one minute, at the junction of the Win

'Yes, sir; Carlisle, sir. A quarter of an hour

'Don't talk to mo of refreshments,' -I cried

'Did a man from this carriage get out at' Oxen

'Yes, sir; very gentlemanly young man with

I have not qUite settled yet, in my own mind,
whether the thing was planned from the very first,
and the, lest hat itself—which was not claimed--
a portion of the diabolical !dot; or, whether the
intentions of my companion bad been really hon
orable until I was fool enough to put a tempta•
tion in his way, which he could nut resist. It
was like placing the Bloomer suit of armor in the
chamber of Joan of Are, and =pectin g that she
would keep to Crinoline and the small, bonnet in

has been so- long accustomed, and in which she
looked so becoming: -Previous to the outrage the

I should have no further occasion for my gold re.

NAPOLEON'S OLD GUARD-
Napoleon's "Old Guard" gained, by their
many desperate instances of bravery, an immor
tality in history ; but their grand crownings was
their desperate charge at Walerloo, which has
few parallels in ancient or modern warfare.—
They fought for their adored Emperor, and to
retrieve the evil fortunes of the day, and they
fell as though to do so would secure them immor
tal glory and eternal bliss in the world of spirits.
The most graphic and stirring account of that
fearful and fatal.strugglo, that we have seen, id
from a recently published French work, it,
reads like war itself—Ahat is it :
"During the day the artillery of the Guard,
under. Dronet, Wined' its old renown, and
the Guard itself had frequently been used to re
store the battle in various parts of the field, and
always with success. The 'English were fast be
taming exhausted, and in an hour more would
doubtless have been forced loth a, disastrous de
feat, but for the timely arrival of Blucher. But
when they saw him, with his 3,000 Prussians ap
preaching, their earage revived, while Napoleon
was filled with amazement. A beasen enemy
about to form a junction with the allies, while
Grouchy, who had been sent to keep them in
cheek, was nowhere to be seen ! Alas! whut
great plebs a single inefficient commander can
overthrow.
"In a moment Napoleon sew that he could not
sustain the attack of so many fresh .iroops if I
once allowed to form a junction with :PI: allied
forces., and he dotentllned to stake his fate on
one hold endeavor to pierce the allied centre
with a grand charge Of the Old Guard, and thus
throw himself between the two armies. For this
purpose the lutpelittl Guard was called up and
divided into two immense columns, which were
to meet in the British centre. These under
Rollie no sooner entered the fire than it disap
peared like mist. The other was placed under
Ney "the bravest of'tho brave," and the order to
advancer Napoleon accompanied them
part of the way down the slope, and halting for
a few minutes in a hollow addressed them a few
words. 110 told them the battle rested with
them, and that he relied on their valor, tried in
so many fields. "Vire PEmporenr l" answered
him with a shout that was heard above the
thunder of the artillery.
' , The whole continental struggle exhibited no
sublimer spectacle than the last effort of Napo
leon to save his sinking empire. The greatest
military skill nod energy the world possessed had
been taxed to the utmost during the day. Thrones
wore tottering on the turbulent field, - and the
shadows of fugitive kings flitted through the
smoke of the battle.' Bonaparte's :star trembled
in the zenith—now blazing out in. its ancient
splendor, now paling before his noxious eye.
The intense anxiety with Which he watched the
advance of that column and terrible suspense he
endured when the smoke of the battle wrapped it

worthy to the great trust committed to it. Moth-
log could be more imposing than its movement
to the assault. It had never recoiled before
human face,and the allied forces beheld with awe
its firm and steady advance to the final °barge;
For a moment the batteries stopped playing and
the firing Cetited along the British lines, titj
without the beating of a drum or the bugle note;
to cheer their steady courage, they moved in dead
silence over the field. Their tread Was like muf
fled thunder, while the dazzling helmet of the
curias.siers flashed long streams of light behind
the dark and terrible mass that swept in one strong
wave along. The stern Drouet was there amid his
guns and on every brow was written the unalter
able resolution to conquer or die. The next mo
ment the artillery opened, and the head of that
gallant column Seemed to sink into the earth.—
Rank after rank went down, yet they neither stop
red.
nor faltered. Dissolving squadrons and
whole hattallions disappearing one after another
in the destructive fire, affected not 'their steady
courage. The ranks closed up as before, and each
treading over his fallen eomrade prosPOEl unflinch
ingly on.
"The horse Which Ney redo fell under him, and
scarcely had he mounted another before it also
sank to the earth, and so another and another tilt
five in succession had been shot muter him. Then
with his drawn sabre, he marched sternly at the
head of his column. In vain did the artillery hurl
its storm of iron into that living mass. 14 to
the very muzzle they pressed, and driving the ar
tilery men from their pieces, pushed on through
the English lines. But just as the victory seen' ,
ed won a file of soldiers who haul laid flat on the
ground, behind a low ridge of earth, suddenly
rose and poured a volley into their very face.—.
Another and another followed till one broadsheet
of flame rolled on their bosom and in such a
fierce and unexpected flow that they staggered
before it. Before the Guard had time to rally
again and advance, a heavy column of infantry
fell on its left flank in close rezti deadly volleys
causing it, in its unsettled state, to swerve to
the right. At that instant a whole brigade of
calvary thundered on the right flank, and pen
etrated where the calvary had never gone before.
"That intrepid Guard could have berme up a
gainst the unexpected fire from the soldiers they
did not see, and bould have rolled back the in
fantry that had boldly charged its left, but the
calvary finished the disorder into which they had
been momentarily thrown, and broke the shaken
ranks before they had time to reform, and the ea
gles of that hitherto invincible Guard were pilot
ed backward down the slope. It was then the
army, seized with despair, shrieked oat, "The
Guard recoils! The Guard recoils !" and turned
and fled in gild dismay. To see the Guard in
confusion was a sight they had never before 'be
held, and it froze every heart with terror. Still
those veterans refaced to fly; rallying from their
disorder, they formed into two immense squares
of eight battalions and turned fiercely on the en
emy, and ably strove to stem the reversed tide of
battle.
"For a long time they stood and let the can
nonballs plough through their ranks, disdaining
to turn their backs on the foe. Michel, at the
head of the battalions fought like a lion. To ev
ery conatnand of the enemy to surrender, and with
his last breath bequeathing this glorious motto to
the Guards be fell a witness to its truth. Death
traversed those eight battalions with such rapid
footsteps that they soon thilndled away to Altro,
which turned in hope less daring on the overrrhel
ming number that pressed their retiring footsteps.
"Last of all but a single battalion, the debris
of the column of granite, at Marengo, was left.
Into this Napoleon flung himself. Cantbroane,
its brave commander saw with terror• the Emper
or in its frail keeping. Ho was not struggling
fur victory, be was intent only on showing how
the Guard should die.' Approaching the Emper
or, he cried ont,`Retire l' Do you not see that
death has no need of you?' and closing mourn
fully but sternly round their expiring eagles, those
brave hearts bade Nspolean an eternal adion,and,
flinging theinselVos , oe the enemy, were , evert
piled with the enemy at their feet,
"Many of the officers were seen to destroy them
selves rather than suffer defeat. Thus greater
in its own defeat than any other corpi of
yr= in gaining a victory, the Old Guard passed
from the stage and the curtain dropped upon, its
strange career. It bad fought its last battle..

following paragraph, like' many Others

May ho, for it contains some very excellent ad.vico
which we commend to all put' young, lady readers
—especially thme who conleMplate mniriMeny :
"Girls, beware of transient young men—Litover
suffer the addresS of strangers; recollect one good,
steady farmer's boy or industrious mechanic is
worth more than all the floe ring trash in theworld.
The allurements of a dandy jack, with a gold
Ihain about his neck, a walking stick in his paw,
some honest tailor's coat on his back, and a brain
less though fancy scull, can never make the
loss of a kind father's home, a good mother's
council, and the society of brothers and -
'sisters ;
their affection lasts, while that of suck a man is
lost at the wane of the"honey-tnoon. Girls, be.
ware ; take heed lest ye should full into the "snare
of the fowler." Too many have already been
taken from a kind fa ilia's hotok and a good moth , ,
or's council, and made the victim of povertY and
crime, brought to shame and disgrace, stint then
thrown upon their own resources, to live their few
remaining days in grief and sorrow, while the
1 brainless scull is malting _its circuits around the
1 world, bringing to his ignoble will all' that may
be allured by his deceitful snares, and many a
i fair cue to the s IMMO of his artful villainy."
