Joaoph Clowoll, Allentown, Agent for Lohigh Co YOUR attention is respectfully solicited to the alsoVe method of Rooting, now mush used in Philadelphia and vicinity, and whirls has been exten sively in use in many of the cities of the West, during more than eleven years past, during which time it has been tested under every variety of circumstances, and we confidently oiler it to the public as a mode of Roofing unobjectienable in every important particular, while it combines, in a greeter degree than any other roof iu use, the valuable requisites of oheapness, du rability, and security against both fire and water.— This is rapidly superseding the use of all other kinds of roofs. wherever it has been introduced, giving gen eral satisfaction, and is highly recommended by nil who have tested its utility. These roofs require an inclination of not more than one inch to the foot, which is of great tavantage in curie u,f fire, and fw• drying purposes. They are offered nt a price consid erably less than any other root' in use, while the amount of material saved, which would otherwise be used in extending up the walls ard framing for a steep roof, often makes a still further important re duction in the cost of building. Clutters Tully be formed of the same material as the roof, at much less expense than any others In case of defect or injury, from 114 cause, there is no roof so easily repaired. The materials being, mostly non-conductors of beet, no roof is so cool in summer, or so warm in. winter. Those wishing to use our roof. should give the rafters a pitch of about ono inch to tho foot, For further in formation apply to Joseph Clowell, at Allentown, mu• agent for Lehigh and Carbon counties, who is pre pared to execute all orders at slto•t notice. 11.

Ili YANKEE COURTSHIP. Does any on you know Deb Saucepan ? Should% wonder, for she's a dreadful nico orit ter. Daddy used to make great fuss 'bout my stickin' to hum so chug, and said I might as well be out Courtin' Deb as to be squatliu' round the fire doin nothing. Well, I tolled him it warn% no kind of use; but the old man wouldn't hear nothin' again his own opinions ; so I had to go, just to please the old man. Deb used to go to the old white church, you know, up uncle Jarvis' lane, near the blacksmith's shop, right by the orchard. Well I went off, dressed tarnation slick ; I kind o' guess I rubbed to the matter of about two pounds of taller candles in my head, just to make it curl ; but 'twarn't no use it stuck out just like hog's bristles. But somehow or other I got myself in pretty slick order ; had on my new hat and coat I won at the raffle, and off I bolted to the church, with my hands in my pockets, whistlin' "llail Columbia ;" felt as brave as Bonypart at Waterloo, and the. fast thing I see was Deb steppin' off her horse. and up I runs to speak to her, when 'long conics that 'tarnal Joe Turner', dressed all-fired nice, looked as if he'd been put up in a band box, and walked her right off, fore I could say how'd due, Deb ?" If I didn't look nation sheepish then taint no matter ; I blushed just as blue as an indigo bag. " Never mind," says I, " meetin' will bust up some time or other, and Deb will have to go hum." So I went up to the house to wait for her, and pretty soon 'long she come ; by gosh she did look screnmin' nice. I felt so flusterfied I didn't knoW what oh earth to any to her ; I at last got out " Deb I'' and says I, " don't my face look all over goose pimples ?" and Ultimo my buttons if reb and that 'larval Joe Turner didn't snort right out. Anyhow, we all went in, and Deb handed Inc a chair ; but I never looked where I was satin,' and down I went ker wollop, right on Deb's new bonnet and fix ups ; overact the cheer, and . sprawled right on the floor, and split my new coat down the back, wide open. But Deb pinned it up, and that gave me a kind of infection for her, and I staid to tea ; but I was so conflnstrated. I spilt my ten over Joe's pants, and he called me a darned hog. never said a word the whole durn time ; Deb had to do all the tall:in', and I answered yes and no. Says she to me, " Jonathan, did you ever hear a serenade ?" " No," says I, " Miss Debby, I never heard of Sarah Nade ; but I've heath of Sal Edwards,"and Joe, the fool, snorted at that, too. But 'Deb said she did'nt mean Sarah Nade, it was what the town chaps call the music when they go out to play at nights ; and then she looked kind of slantandicular at Joe, and ram - pretty sartin' he give her a buss. But I see that Deb loved Joe more than she did me, so I got ready to back out : and says Deb to me, 't I 'spose-you're goin' to see Moll Mich ael." Says T, " Deb, I guess I got a little more taste than to run arter sich battle as that." And then she looked at the quite smart, and that tickled me all but to death, and I riz up to make a bow, but somehow or 'other I catched my feet together, and I sprawled right again and upset her right into Joe's lap. She got up darned•mad, I tell you, says sho; "all be con found it, that'S to bad !" But I had to snort right out, for I never know'd afore that Deb wore false hair, and when she fell, her heart. *tellers come off, and she looked just like a screech owl ; and says I, " Deb, never mind, we are goin' to shear our old black sheep next Sunday, and I'll send you wool enough to Make a wig on." That riz Deb's Ebenezer, and she made ono poke atmo with a shovel, but it warn't no use, I was on the road to hum. And I told dad, and dad laughed ; see dad always laughs whenever any thing tickles him ; and 'twixt yod and me, that's the last time I ever went to see Deb Saucepan. • CM How often do we spend our time in vain des- pondency about youth wasted in idleness and years spent in folly, or misdirected efforts, mur muring about our want of forethought and our neglect of opportunities, Wo seem to think that there is .but ono period in life worth im proving, and but one:opportunity worth embra cing ; thus we continually mourn over the im perfections of the past and neglect to redeem it, as wo may, by diligently improving tho pre sent.

Their, home was formerly in Michigan. Mr. Hall is a gentleman of full hub its, and a strong passion for dtnlc shooting— this accounts, perhaps, for his having bagged Mrs. Hall. Mrs. Hall is a bright eyed middle aged woman, who does not like to be ' left alone.' She is subjected to fits of nervousness, and runs away with the idea that the more solitude you have in a house, the sooner it becomes haunted. Mrs. Hall is a very Sgreeable woman, has a magnificent eye, and talks " fluidly," as Mrs. Harris would say. So much for the general appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Hall. On Monday last, Mr. Hull imprinted a kiss on Mrs. Hall's cheek, and told bet. lie was going a shooting on Long Island, and would be absent from home for a week. Mrs. Hall burst into tears and said such an absence would he the death of her.— Mr. Hall said, " Pshaw !" and concluded the speech by promising to bring her a hundred dollar dress, from Stewart's. Mrs. Hall was modified. In consequence of this Mr. repaired to the office, to " write up the cash book," and give the clerks such advice as would keep their morals sweet for " the coming week." During Mr. Hull's absence " at the office," Mrs. Hall busied herself "in filling satchel with a few necessaries fur the tramp. In the collec- ' tion were tw I shirts, fbur dickeys, six hand kerchiefs, tw pair of socks, a bottle of cough medicine, a air of razors, and lather brush, and a broke elm. Mr. Hall returned to the house, fixed timself up, and about G 1 o'clock started to th steamboat. Mr. Hall intended, when he left ome, to stay a week. Instead of that, he only laid ono day. On arriving in New York, he - as overtaken by a sore throat, ' of such severity, that his physician said that he must instantly r turn home, as a week's duck shooting on Long land would lead to an early funeral at Albany. Hall took the advice and on'Tuesday, returne ' to town on the Hudson River Railroad. He.ants up in the 5 p. m. train, and got home ab •ut 101. He was mot .on the stoop by the hous dog, who wagged his tail, and when the door w. opened by the ser vant girl, accompanied him •up stairs." Mr. Hall found Mrs. Hall still u and dressed.-- Mrs. Hall was surprised at I% .. Sudden return, and hoped' nothing ha. happened."— Mr. Hall;said, "No, nothing serious, only a sore throat, that a little horehound would soon Over come.' Mrs. Hall said she was rejoiced to heal' it, and gave 4r. hall a kiss that " reminded him of old times." , Just here, the dog, Carlo, went into the bedroom, and commenced bark ing. " What's that dog barking at, my dear ?" " Can't say, unless it's that distressed cat that has annoyed us all summer." Not that yeller cat that I tried to kill hist week ?" " The same, I suppose." " But how did be get into the bedroom ?" " Came in off the back shed I presume. I saw him there just before tea. Ho will go away in a moment." " Go away ? not by a long shot.. - Get me my revolver and I'll blow his brains out." " Not for the world, my lova. Don't bloody up the carpet. Raise the windoW and call Car lo away and he'll go out himi . elf." "I don't believe in any such arrangement, Mrs. Hall. I've been after that cat aliout a month, and I am now determined to blow his brains out, blood or no blood."' Mrs. Hall tried to dissuade him but it was without effect. Mr. Hall had resolved to kill that cat, and he would, doit. As Mrs. Hall would not" touch a vistet for the world." Mr. Hall went to the' bureau and got, t for himself Having examined the load, pnd adjusted - the caps, he advanced towards the bed:room, RT . ceadit.by . ,Oarlo, 4ho , pckiid•-his nose, undeaui 1 ?90 8- teliaoPul ttaW4'3lllignii waked _the bilb:f. lthf4Ct*p*ip bad*the next goon► a Mr. x4l dropped:9 l ). hili ! *;e4r:Mr• Hail ' khcn,' /* * o4 ,over op his band, and by:* -**43li o#oo, tiOself hi puffer the bed as ' .Carlo Mr. Hill gave one and then - 'asked Mi. Hall "if that yaller cat wore a blue coat with brass buttons ?" Mrs. Hall gave a screech and " lost her reason.' Mr. Hall told " the yaller cat" to come out. The yeller cat obeyed the order, and when he did so, he was discovered to be "an old mouser," who keeps a lumber yard in the vicinity of the Little Basin. The yeller cet fell upon his knees and promised to . explain matters in the morning. ' Mr. Hall said matters- explained themselves. In proof of which he ordered the yaller cat to "take Mrs. Hall by the arm, and leave the house." The yaller cat did as he was ordered. This finished up the business of Tuesday night. On Wednesday night Mr. Hall appeared at the police to enter a complaint against the yeller cat for " trim. con." Juste Parsons informed him that crim. con. was not a crime in this State, 13 , 4 that if he wanted satisfaction he must site for the same in some other Court. Mr. Hall handed the case over to L. D. Hol stein. What will become of it will ba known at the next Court. We should not wonder if " the yaller cat with brass buttons," had to come out about ten thousand dollars. Wicked world, this.—Albany Tribune. SHORT SERMON ON MONEY My hearers—this is not only a great mysteri ous world that we live and pay rent for. All discord is harmony ; all evil is good ; all des potism is liberty ; and all wrong is right—for as Alexander Pope says.: " Whatever is,•is right," except the left boot, and wanting to borrow money. You may want sense and the world won't blame you fur it. It would gladly furnish you with the article, had it any to spare. but unluckily it has hardly enough for home con• sumption. However, if you lack sense you are well enough off after all ; for if you commit a faux pas, as the French say, you arc let go with the compliment, poor fool he does not know any better. The truth is, a great deal of brains is a great deal of botheration. An empty scull is bound to shine in compahy. because the pro prietor iv it hasn't wit en3ui.s;ll tO know that there is a possibility of making a nincompoop Of himself, and therefore he dashes ahead hit or miss, or generally succeeds beyond expectation. Let a man:be minus brains and plus brass, and he is sure to pass tlfrough the Ivolgtl as if he was greased from ear to ankle ; but rig up for him a complete machinery of thought, and it is as much as he can do to attend to it. He goes to the grave, ruffled and tumbled, cursses life for Its cares, and moseys into eternity rack saddled with mental misery. Oh ! for the hap piness of fools. rrAbridgement of a sermon which took u an hour in from• these words : " Ma, is born to trouble." My friends, the subject falls naturally -to be divided into four heads: 1. Man's entrance into the world. • 2. His progress through the World. 3. his exit from the world"; and 4. Practical reflections from what may be said. First, then : 1. Man conies into the world naked and bare. 2. His progress through it is trouble and care. 3. His exit from it none can . tell where. 4. But if he does well here he'll be well there, Now I can say no more, my brethren dear, Should I preach on this subject from this time to next year. Amen. EPIGRAM. - . • - As my wife and I, at the window ono day, Stood watching a man with a monkey, A cart came by, with a "broth of a boy," Who was driving a stout little donkey. To my wife I then spoke, by way of a joke, There's a relation of yours in that Carriage," " To which she replied, as the donkey she spied, "Ah yea; a relation—by marriage!" Blushes What a mysterious thing is a blush ! That a single word, a look, or a thought, should send that inimitable carnation over the cheek, like the soft tints of a summer sunset) Strange, too, that it is only the face that is capable of blushing? The hand or the foot does not turn red, with modesty or shame, any more than the glove or the sock which covers it. It is the face that i s the heaven of 'the soul. There may be traced the intellectual phenomena, with a con fidence amounting to moral certainty. A kin ,gle blush should put, the infidel to shame, and prove to him the absurdity of his blind doctrine of chance.

This The present period of the world has so many glorifiers, that it can aflin•d to have its praises qualified a little. That being the case we take the liberty to say, that the people are not handsomer now, than they Were a century ago. There were better actors and actresses then. Newton, Lielinitz and Fuler have not their match among the mathematicians at the pre sent day. Can the present race of poets boast of a Dante, Tesso, or Milton ? Tillotson, Bossuet and Edwards will make the pulpit res pectable as long as men feel a veneration for Christian eloquence and learning. Good clas• sical scholars are not as common as they have been, and the eloquence and learning of the bar and bench are not superior to what they were in the days of Chatham, and Lord Mansfield. Hale, Holt and Erskine. Are there greater parliamentary orators and philosophical states men, than Pitt and Burke, Sheridan and Fox, Fisher Ames and Patrick Henry? This nation had nu Presidents, and never will, superior to the first. No one possesses now, in our more than twice-tripled population, the original and brilliant qualities of Franklin. There is not more happiness and contentment than formerly ; but misery has multiplied fear fully. Though education has improved and been diffused ignorance has more than proportional ly augmented. People have not . grown more virtuous, though vice has become brazen and disgusting. There has been a greater advance in luxury than in comfort ; show than satis faction. Individuals are vastly richer than they were, and also a great deal poorer. Desti tution has kept even pace with superfluity. The lights arc brighter, and the shadows pro. portionally more dark. Wealth, if equally di vided, would not impart a larger individual share than Theretofore, unless perhaps in a con vent:onal estimate. A rock, or a swamp hole, in an unfrequented and. wholy unimproved part of the island of Manhattan has acquired a factitious value of a hundred fold; not from anything the present generation has performed, ' but simply because the population hus increas ed. The vast addition to the value of land is not owing to the present owners, but only the accidents of breeding and emigration. A bone rises rapidly in value when ten or a dozen dogs want it, instead of one. True ; they wear silk now instead of calico or flannel, and substitute kid for cow hide : that is all. They drink more coffee, tea and wine, and smoke fifteen millions worth of segars a year. Probably they swear more and go less to church ; bid then the latter is atoned for by passing at the playhouse every evening", which can be spared, either from the gambling table or the brothel. It has been fotind out by our travellers lately, that people have worked too much : so the present generation are taking the matter ia hand, and promise to wipe off the-as persion entirely from the national character. Amusement has risen to the consequence of a calling and the dignity of a virtue liltilgen ces are preached by our ethical philosophers, who have no reason to complain of any defi ciency ofapt scholars. As in the of Jetz• el, they are paid fur at n round price. A visit to the World's Fair, and presentations at courts and parties, are not enjoyable without much cash and • possibly some mortgages. In times past, people made outto live at home, and frequently to a good old age ; now, like the humming bird, they are perpetually on the wing, and deem it as much a necessity to sce sights, as for a Mussulman to visit Mecca. But they don't live any longer than their grand- - fathers. As for home, some nations, it, is said; have the misfortune not to possess the word. We have the word in this country, and are in imminent hazard of retaining nothing else. Our grandfathers stood still, and saved Slloo' leather ; we wear our souls as our bodies out in turning round and running. forward and back: We chase hero and chase there; and don't know what we are chasing after, neither. Doubtless most know their right hands from their left ; but in the everlasting " right and hefting" of the pleasure hunters, they, as often not, mistake one of them for the other. There is ono thing where the superiority of the middle of the nineteenth century is quite apparent. A decision has been made, we do not recolleat the time, but will warrant from internal evidence,it was not long ago, that the less a nation shall be governed the better it will be for. them..

This senti ment experiences a cheek; hoWever, in its growth, from an obvious circumstance.

The recent occurrences in Boston form the' text for a sensible. sermon by the Hartford Courant. Says the Courant; The " innocent flirtation"-of married women ' is one of the abominations of modern society. Even a desire for promiscuous admiration is wrong in tho wifo. Lot her be ever so beauti ful, it ;is a disgusting, an appaling sight, to see' her decorating that beauty for the public gaze ! —to see her seeking the attention of all sense= less fops around her, and rejoicing in the ad miration of other eyes than those other hus band. There is always among the sedate and the wise a sensation of disgust when a marrieft I lady attempteto ensnare and entrap young men . by a profuse display of their charms, or an un licensed outlay of her smiles . . Such charms rand such smiles aro loathsome to the indifferent beholder—" the trail of the serpent is over them all." Such wives should know; if they do not know it already, that their influence over the virtue' and prudence of young _men is deleterious. They lead them to believe there , is no purity in the sex—that married virtue is but an outside show—and that delicacy and propriety are but silent masks or outside dresses. The effect of their character is that of a silent corruption,. sapping the foundation of honor, and probity,. and truth. Let them beware. Early Books and Early Printing/ Tho first book printed in the English lan guage was struck offin 1471. and was a reprint from a Latin translation entitled ' Histories of Troy.' It is supposed to have been published at Cologne, by Caxton.. The first book published in America was the 'Psalms in Metre.' Early printing seems ,to havtilieen a far different mat- . ter from what is known at the preierlt day as the preservative art.' We read in Lambuiet, a French bibliogra phical writer, that Me'choir de Starnbarn' wishing to establish a printing office at Augs burg, engaged a skilful workman of the same town of the name of Paneloch. He devo ted a whole year to making the necessary prep arations for his office. Ho bought five presses. of the mriterials of which ho constructed five . other presses. He cast pewter typos, and having spent a large sum—seven hundred and' two florins—in establishing his office, and be- . gnu 7king in 1743.
