IMPROVED FIDE AND WATER PROM

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.

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. •

TWILIGHT
Longfellow thus happily describes the grad
ual coming on of the shadows of twilight. Tho
simile at the close is indeed beautiful :
_ Slowly, slowly up the wall
Steele the sunshine, steals.the shade; . .
Erenibg damps begin to fall, •
Evening shades are displayed.
Round me, o'er ins, everywhere,
All the sky is grand with clouds,
re.
And athwart the evening air
Wheal the swallows home in crowds.
Shafts of sunshine from the west
Paint the dusky windowsred,
Darker shadows. deeper rest,
Underneath mid overhead.
Darker, darker, and more wen
In my breast the shadows fall;
Upward steals the life of man,
As the sumhine from the wall,
From the wall into the sky.
From the roof along the spire:
Ah, the souls of thoze that die

A .g Yaller 9 ' Cat with Brass Buttons.
Mr. and Mrs. Hall have resided in Albany for
some months. 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

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.

The Last• Century and. 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.. Accordingly, we have got
rid of the evils, of government in a multitude of
instances: Ihrlcansas they have.thro*O - them.

youngest generation is, on the whole, the wisest
and entitled to outrank the, elder. This senti
ment experiences a cheek; hoWever, in its growth,
from an obvious circumstance. It happens that
every advocate of such a doctrine rapidly grows
old himself, and consequently, without any ex
ception, reverses his youthful opinions on this
matter. Another thing. The world. itself is
becoming older every day, and *would conse

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. He died before he'
°envie ed one book : heart broken probably at
the amount of capital he had sunk ; for his un
finished book WAS sold:off at a mere trifle, and
his office broken up.- •
