more than eleven years Test, during which time it
has been tested under every variety of circumstances.
and we confidently offer it to the public as a mode of
Ron Ling unoWeetionable in every important particulor,
while it combines, inn greater degree than any other
roof in use, the valuable requisite:: of cheapness, du

This is rapidly superseding the use of all, other kinds
of roofs, wherever it has lawn introduced, giving gen

whit have tested its utility. These roofs require an
inclination of not more than one intik to the foot,
which is of great adra cone ty fire, and for
drying purposes. They are offered at a price consid
erably less than any other roof in use, while the
amount of material saved, which would otherwisC be
used in extending up the walls and fronting for a
steep roof, often makes a: still farther important re
duction in the cost of building. If titterii may be
formed of the same material us the roof, at much less
expense than tiny other. in care of defect or injury,
!rem any canoe, there is no roof so easily repaired.
'Pte materials being mostly non-contluetors of beat,
no roof is so cool in summer, or so warm in winter.
Those w•iahhtg to use our roof, should give the rafters

THE ONLY CHILD.
"God keep the etild, with thine angel brow,
Ever as sinless and bright as now."
" Look at my darling is she not beautiful An
hette 9" said Mrs. Conyngham to her sister, as
from the drawing room they stepped out upon
the colonnade, at the termination of which was'
the summer apartment, where the maid ser
vant was preparing Alice, Mrs. Conyngham's
only child, for her morning bath.
Exquisitely lovely indeed did the little Alice
look. Her golden hair fell down a neck than.
which alabaster was never more pure, and her
large hazel eyes, so seldom seen with such sun
ny hair and transparent complexion, were danc
ing with light as Bessie, her faithful African
nurse, submitted to her playful efforts to wash
white her ebony skin.
No wonder that Mrs. Conyngham's heart
beat with maternal fondness and pride, as her
eyes rested upon the graceful child, whose very
attitude was a fit subject fiSr an artist's study.
One dimpled hand rested on the cushion, on
which the maid was half reclining, the other
grasprd the spcnge, which was again and again
dipped in the massive ewer before she wearied
of the vain task she had undertaken.
The proud mother did. not for once take her
eyes from her darling until the bath was fin-
ished—the rippling hair arranged in ringletted
precision. the sleeves of the snowy lawn dress
banded off from the rounded shoulder, and then
as Alice bounded towards her she opened her
arms, and folding the child to her heart, gave
expression to her feeling in every endearing
term she could think of.
So intently had she watched her child, that
she had not observed her sister's silence, when
she asked her if Alice was not beautiful, and
the expression of disapproval which had now
settled upon Annette Preston's face was entire
ly unnoticed by Mrs. Conyngham, as she con
tinued to lavish her caresses upon her trea
sure.
It was hot until IleSSie had claimed the child,
and disappeared with her in the shaded garden
walks, that Miss Preston broke the silence
which she had hitherto maintained.
ME
" Carle," she said, " I must caution you
again in regard to your child. Do you not
know that you aro spoiling her by the course
you are pursuing ? You would not wish her to
grow up in vain, selfish and exacting, and yet
such will inevitably be the result, if you are not
more judicious in your management of her."
Mrs. Conynchnm did not receive the well
meant reproof kindly.
" I suppose you think that if you, with your
prim ways, had the care of Alice, she would
grow up perfect; but I have heard of old
maids' children before."
A deep glow overspread Miss Preston's calm,
pale face. and resuming her knitting. she bent
over it to hide her emotion. She made no re-
ply, and from that hour never advised her sis
ter upon any point her Alice was concerned.
" 11ie tales like him no man emila tell,
Inf., \VON'S whieli melted as they fell,
Alight even a bypoerite deceive,
And make an infidel believe."
Ten years glided over the home of the Co
nynghams, scarcely leaving a trace in the beau
tiful
grounds that surrounded the mansion.— ;
True, there was a greater luxuriance of shrub
bery,
a wilder growth of the vines that hung
unpruned from the noble old trees of the park :
but no change sufficient to materially alter the'
aspect of the place. The saute accia tree droop-
ed beside thafountain, whose musical plash had
charmed Alice in the days of her' childhood.
I Front the stone urns that adorned the massive
• balustrade, the same odorous myrtles yielded
1 their perfume to the waving breeze.
But the hand of time had suffered the in
mates of themansion to escape thuslightly. Mr.
Conyngham's black hair had changed to an iron
gray, and there were lines upon his massive
brows, and by the corners of his mouth and
eyes, which bad been traced with no sparing
finger. Ills wife, although ten years younger.
had been still more severely dealt with ; for
disease had wasted the roundness of her form,
and destroyed her brilliancy of .complexion,
making such constant encroachments upon her
constitution, that sho had been obliged to con
fine herself almost entirely to her own room.
• Much as the mother would now hti,e - enjoyed
the society of her own child, that pleasure was
denied her ; for Alice was giddy and vain, and
too fond of admiration to renounce her gaitics
for the confinement of an invalid's rooni.
Yet Mrs. Conynghatn •found no fault ; for
Alice, who was not wanting in affection, over
whelmed her mother with caresses whenever
she spared her an hour. Even Mr. Conyng
ham, strong-minded and discerning as he was,
scented' blinded to the defects of his drughter's
character ; and Aunt Annette, who had chang
ed the least of all, was alone aware of the dan
gers
which beset the courted heiress's path ;
but seduously as she strove to counteract them '
their came at length a crisis which she was
powerless to meet.
Alice had persuaded her mothepoto consent
to her having one more interview with Paul I
Lincoln, a young man whom her father had
resolutely forbidden the house ; having reason
to believe that the disreputable reports con
cerning him were not without foundation.
The time chosen was evening, and the place
an orange grove, that swept back from the
summer department where we first saw Alice,
and which adjoined her mother's room. It was
on the opposite side of the house from Mr. Co
nynghtun's library, and Alice was sure of es
caping detectionq At any rate she could shield
herself from his displeasure,, she selfishly
thought, by the permission which her mother
ME
had so weakly given.
The night arrived—a calm and beautiful
night in June. Alice's cheeks were flushed

THE TEMPTATION
Allentown, Pa., June 18, 1856.
with excitement as she paced the walk ,beneath
the grove. Now she tore handfulls of blossoms
from the trees that were snowy with bloom,
and tossed them upon the green turf, unmind
ful of their pleasing breath. Then wearied by
her own impatience, she • threw herself upon a
garden sent, and weaving a few orange buds
together, fastened them in the massive braids
of hair which were round her head. And thus
the moments, seemingly hours to her, passed
until Paul Lincoln was by her side.
One instant was she trained tightly to a
heart whose evil depths could she have fath
omed, would have caused her to turn shudder
ingly dud loathingly from the embrace which
now she but released herself from with a tlu•il
ling glow of happiness too intense for words.
That was a long, long interview. Thrice
Bessie came to tell her how late i twos growing, but
the tempter would not release the hands lie hnd
imprisoned, and Alice was but too willing to
listen to his repeated and impassionatc entrea
ties, to give him, to call her wholly his bride.
It was eloquent pleading,for Paul Lincoln knew
well the Weaknesses of a woman's heart, and lie
failed not to avail himself of this knowledge.
When at length he called her Vention to
the orange clusters in her hair, saying—" Let
this omen plead for me, dear Alice, and no
longer refuse to be my bride." She answered
not, but her beautiful head bent lower until it
rested on his shoulder.
For the first time his lips met her's in a kiss she
was powerless to resist ; and then, in a low and
passionate tone, he commenced anew his entrea
ties, and they ceased not until ke had won from
her a consent to leave all and flee with him that
night.
Then she crept noiselessly up the walk, and
through the summer apartment to her mother's
room.
The pale anxious mother, who had bren so
nervously watching her coming, received her
with no chiding tones ; and Alice who Would
fain have thrown her arms around her for a
kiss, as was her custom, now for the first time
felt herself unworthy of a mother's love ; and
she knelt by the bedside and seized the thin,
wasted hmls, covering them with burning kiss
es, while the tears which rained from her eyes
betrayed to her mother a depth of emetion which
she could not account for.
Surprised and agitated, she questioned her,
but she received only the answer—
" Mother, forgive me that I love Paul
well ! I worship him ! I adore him ! and
cannot live without him ! Say that you e
forgive him, mother."
Mrs. Conyngham had not time to answer,
Alice, hearing her aunt's step in the apartmei
and surprised to find that she was still awal
and fearing momentarily her presence, I
arose, kissed her mother, and fled hastily fr•
the room.

THE RETURN
'• She sleeps : dark and dreamless in her !dumb
She Nvill not woke when the morning break:
No—tiino a weary catalogue ellen number
Of vanished years ore she again awakes."
It was a chilly autumnal evening:
morning wind whirled the dying leaves do ,
the deserted garden walls ; and to make
desolation of the scene more complete,
rain drops pattered now and then against
windows of the stately mansion that loot
up in the darkness as stately as when its inmat,_
were not bowed de4n to the earth with grief
and trouble.
Even a greater change had those few months
wrought within than had the to d long years
proceeding.
As the night wore away, the wind increased
in violence, and the rain fell steadily in torrents
to the earth. Midnight came on, and now a
sharp peel of the hall hell awoke Aunt Annette
from the slight slumber she had just fallen in
to. Before she could awaken Bessie, another
and still louder clang rang through the silent
mansion.
Mr.-et - lungham was the only inmate of the
house who was up. It was he who proceeded
to the ball, and unlocked and opened the door.
A form drenched with rain, although wrapped
in elk eavy cloak, and shrouded with a veil met
him in the doorway.
44 Father, do not refuse me the shelter of
youT roof in this hour. They tell me, my
mother is dying—oh, forgive me, father, and
take me to hen" 4 4).
The door was closed heavily upon her, for
Mr. Conyngliam seemed steeled against the
touching tones of her entreaty when she threw
herself upon her knees nt his feet, and
implor
ed him for her mother's sake to have mercy
upon her.
" I have come alone," she said, " through the'
darkness of this stormy' night from my hus
band's home to see my mother's face and hear
her voice once more. . Look at me i father. see
how I have pined for her, and for the love of
heaven, I entreat you to refuse me no longer."
As she spoke she threw back her hood and
veil. and surely he had been more than human
could lie have resisted those pleading eyes—
that wan and wasted face. Her hair, loosened
by the wind, fell in heavy tresses to her feet,
and the white, sharpened features stood out in
bold outline as,thO sobbing gust swept the damp
masses from her face.
11cr father, without speaking, stooped, took
her hand and led her silently down the dimly
-
lighted hall and a corridor to the well-known
door of her mother's bed-room. He paused for
a moment : sonic strong emotion was at work
within him. For an instant ho looked pitiful
ly upon his child ; but there . came other mem
ories to chase away the tenderness he felt gath
ering there.
" Go in, to the mother whose only fault was
in loving you to well—too trustingly," ho
said.
Alice's heart beat quickly. She opened the
door, stepped in alone, and looked aronnd her.
Stretched upon the couch before her, lity a form
whose rigid outlines too plainly spoke of death.
Alice needed but a glance to wroprehend all.
With one agonized shriek she wretched out her
arms, and fell prone upon the floor.
Her father's heart smote him for his cruelty,
as he bent above her ; and Wilek the restora
tives which he applied, with ;Vila A`nnette ' s
sistance, !ought her back to consciousness, he
strove in every way to make atonement for his
harsh and unfeeling conduct.
Alice lay ill under that roof for weeks follow
ing ; but that period of her life in many ways
proved beneficial to her. Aunt Annette's ex
ample and advice were .no longer unheeded.—
The seed which had so long fallen on stony
ground now sprang up with vigor in the soil
which sorrow had prepared.
Mr. Conyngham also had changed in those
hours of anxious watching beside his daugh-
Aer's couch. He had naked himself, had not
his child been more sinned agailist than sin
ning ; and as he recalled all, he acknowledged
that undisciplined to acts of. self-denial as she
had been front her childhood, in the course she
had pursued when my heart had
.pleaded 'so
strongly for her, she was more to be pitied
than condemned.
" Ay, pitied ! for unworthy indeed had the
husband proved who had plighted such vows.
Disappointed in not receiving with Alice the
dowry he expected, and convinced' by her fruit
less attempts to see her mother, that her father
would always prove relentless, he had ceased
to take any pains to conceal from her his true
character ; and Alice found herself the wife of
a heartless rots, gambler and athei st.
No wonder that Mr. Conyngham's proud
blood revolted from such a connection, or that'
he resented the disgrace which he felt Alice had
brought upon his name, by refusing to admit
her within his doom
When, however, actuated by a principle of
duty, she expressed her desire to return to her
husband, her father no longer opposed her, al
though he judged rightly that she had ceased
to love and respect him. In the hope of bring
ing about a happier state of things in his (laugh
ter'S household, he advanced a considerable
sum of money, to enable Mr. Lincoln 'to engage
in a lucrative business, for which an opening
had offered.
A few days after the reception of the money,
Alice found herself deserted : and with a chas
tened and subdued spirit, she returned to her
old home, rejoicingly welcomed by her father.
Nor was she ever heard in after-life to murmur
at the severe discipline which had developed
the faculties of her soul. She knew that afflic-
She loved him. and his memory now

To Prevent Homes Jumping Femme
Pass a small and strong cord round the body
just behind the shoulders, and tie the halter to
this cord between the fore legs, so as to leave
a distance of about two feet from the cord to his
head. If then he undertakes to jump, ho is
compelled to throw his head forward, which
draws hard on the small cord, causing into cut
' into his, back, and ho instantly desists. The
cord should not be more than a quarter of an
inch in diameter. This is said to prove in
fallible, when every other mode of prevention
has failed.
