I confidently assert that there is no Roofing material in use equal to Tin, when well put on. It is perfectly fire-proof, more substantial and cheaper than shingles, be cause more durable, .nsurance is saved, and great risks avoided; as at least two-thirds of’the num ber of buildaigs consumed in largo conflagra tions, first take fire niton the roofs. Having made ample arrangements for Roof ing, and secured the services of first-rate work men, experienced in the business, 1 am well pre pared t a contract with companies or individuals, throughout the State, or any of the adjoining States, for covering factories, engine houses, rail road bridges, dwelling houses, and other buildings, in the best manner.

THE RUINS. “To every guest the appropriate speech was made, And every duty with distinction paid.” Miss Church made her appearance at length, at the table, and in the public rooms. She came down looking pale and weak. The Doctor, who sat just op posite her at the table, greeted her with I one of liis best smiles and bows—his amiable wife, and pretty daughter, both bade her a cordial welcome. Cousin Fred too was glad to see her. So he said, and he said it in a calm manner which I detected at once was entirely assumed. He was more than glad; he ,was rejoiced in liis innermost spirit. He j .sat next to her, he helped her (o the jhi ;t temprin i dishes placed before us j and conversed of her indisposition, and of the proposed excursion to the ruins. Every now and then, I suw Fannv Bates glancing at our party. She did not seem to hoar.the compliments which Mr. Maroon, the dark kicking widower, was continually paying her about her horse manship, her sketching—indeed every thing in which she had participated at all, it seemed, quite charmed him. “ Shall l help you to some of these pickled cherries, Miss Fanny ?” he asked as the servant handed the fruit. “Not anv, 1 thank yon, Mr. Maroon, I am abundantly helped for the present.’’ “ Miss Fanny, excuse me, but you are not eating anything. Here, waiter, hand the euemnhers. I have heard it affirmed, Miss Fanny, that young ladies never re i fuse pickles.” “ Which affirmation is uat entirely correct, as I am proving to you,” said the hello, carelessly tossing back her curls. “ T don't eat pickles, Mr. Maroon —perhaps the lady across the table will however take some. The servant can pass . them to her.” “ I might have known, Miss Fanny, in deed T bog your pardon for not knowing i it —you have nothing to do wi h any thing so acrid; sour things are foreign to your nature.” j The beauty bowed slightly at what was evidentv intended for a great eom plimenb “ No,” said she “ I detest things which are sometimes found to be sour; such as people's tempers, for in stance.” “I know it, Miss Fanny, indeed T was i quite sure that I had hit the nail on the head, but let me help you to some cream, for your strawberries. -This is sweet —like will take like” “ No, Mr. Maroon —again you are in fault. 1 have a great distaste to cream.” The widower looked puzzled. “ Can I nelp you to anything ?” ho asked glanc ing over the table. “I am very well supplied with every thing that I need,” she said, and I knew that in her heart she added, “ Pray, do let me alone, do not interrupt me—l want to observe what is going on around me.” Now and then, while this scene was passing among our neighbors, Miss Church’s expressive eye would wander away from hor plate, and would rest up on the blooming, beautiful creature, of “Copy right scoured. whose presence cousin Fred seemed en tirely careless. Sometimes during that, her first meal at the public tables, and of ten afterwards, when perhaps herself in ihe middle of a sentence, she would stop suddenly, blush slightly, and look away to where Fanny Bates was standing or sitting, as if arrested by a tone, a word, a look, a something, which had the pow er of magic. Fanny was a great favorite with all classes. Almost everybody at the Springs managed in some wav to get an intro duction to the beautiful and wealthy heiress. She received all the adulation and praise lavished upon her, with an easy unaffected grace which it was beau tiful to witness. ‘Mr. Maroon was assid uous in bis attentions, but others crowd ed him off en from her side, if she drop ped her gloves, a dozen hands were reach led forth to pick th4ln up for her—if a dower fell from her hair in the dance, it was instantly snatched up and worn in somebody's button-hole—if she walked or rode, or sat at twilight by the window she was surrounded by admirers. But Cousin Fred it seemed to me, studiously avoided her. lie clung to our Oakland governess, as if there was not another beinj in the wide world.— He rode with her so the ruins, and both sketched assidiously—lie stood behind her at twilight, and turned the music | for her while she played and sang. Some times the piece chosen was a. duett and his voice, strong and clear, blended with her soft sweet tones. There was a plaintive little Hindu song, exceedingly old and obsolete, bin which by some strange coincidence, both knew and loved. 1 often wondered where they learned it; [ never bad heard it, be-1 fore hearing Miss Church play it one j night at Oakland, and grandfather arid j grandmother were both surprised when j Fred joined in and accompanied her to j the close. When questioned about it, ‘ Fred said that he learned it of a class- j mate at school, Miss Church said that she had long known and loved it. They sang this little piece, one even ing not long after our arrival at the Springs. Fanny Bates was walking up i and down the long eblonade in front of the house with Maroon, as usual for a shadow. They were nearly opposite the window, when the music began.— The belle’s hand dropped from the wid ower’s arm instantly, and she came and looked in through the open casement.— Afterwards she entered tlie room, and sank down upon a low seat ii) a niche, not far from the musicians, and listened with breathless interest. Her beautiful, upturned face grew pensive even 1o sad ness, and a tear or two stole down her cheeks. My grandmother who was sitting near was surprised at tlie girl's apparent emo tion. “Did you ever hear that piece before, Miss Bates?” she asked. “ Yes,” said the belle, “I have heard it somewhere. It comes to tne from a j way—away —like a d.\ing echo, I can-; j not tell from where. It must have a; place among the memories of my child-; hood. I have been trying to think when j ajid where I heard it, but I cannot make j out.” “ It is very prettv,” continued the old ; lady. The belle did not reply. She leaned her beautiful white arm upon a | table which stood near and bowed her head, as if lost in thought. Cousin Fred’s attention seemed to be attracted by her abstract air. and pensive face. “Do you know Miss Bates ?” I heard him asking of the governess. “Slightly,” said Miss Church and she I turned and h'oked at her. Again come j that scrutinizing expression to the teach er’s eyes. Again she grew sensibly agi tated. Mv grandfather, who always had an eye upon the invalid , for whose benefit, he strenuously maintained, he had came to the Springs, looked at her and asked if she was not again going to faint, This question aroused her. “Oh no, Mr. Alston,” she replied, “ I feel quite well—ent rely restored.” “But you look very pale,” continued my grandmother. “ You have not been in the open air to-dav, as much as usual. Do Frederick, tell John or Tom to bring out the horses, and you must take a ride in the carriage. I fear that, you are not strong enough for horseback riding yet. Order the carriage, aud all go to the ruins. Claude can go then, and Miss Bates perhaps will accompany, you.” I stood not, far from grandmother’s el bow, and I whispered into her ear, that Cousin Fred and Miss Bates had never been introduced to each other. “ I declare !” said the old lady, “is it. possible? We are so well acquainted with the Doctor and his family, it did not occur to me that any of the young people liad not been introduced.” “Frederick, my dear, come hero!”— j she continued in a louder tone. “Miss Bates, allow me to introduce you to my grandson, Mr. Frederick Armstrong. J thought that you knew each other very well.” The parties thus introduced to each other, bowed gravely and politely. “ Miss Bates will ride with you all, I ; hope,” said my grandmother. “ Wo shall bo exceedingly happy to have hor company,” said the handsome young officer, bowing again towards herd TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR, TN ADVANCE. “I will order the carriage immediate-j ly.” j Our party was soon ready, and the! horses were champing their bits at the door. The belle and Mies Church, bad j on both bonnets and mantillas, aud Cou- 1 sin Fred was accompanying them to the carriage, when Mr. Maroon, who was j standing on the colonnade espied them.; “ Who are those ?” he asked hastily, j and uneasily. “ Isn’t that Miss Fanny j | Bates with them ? Where can they he j | going ? I did not know that she was ac- j ■ quainted with that young officer. I nev er saw them together before. Indeed she j told me this morning that she was not acquainted with him.” “ I think,” said the young man ad dressed, “ that they are going to the old | fort. The driver told me so.” “ I will ride over too,” the widower an- j ’ swered, hastily. “ I was there yesterday, j but I don’t exactly understand how il i was built. Nojod” he called at the top ‘of liis voice to an old African who was j ! at that moment crossing the yard, u Xe- j jo, bring my horse, and put tlie saddle j on him.” The belle who beard this command, while she was seating herself in the car inage, for a moment looked vexed; but i ill humor was not often lormood. She ; soon smiled, and bo,'an to remark pleas- I antly upon the various objects which wc were passing. Miss Church too was ve ry cheerful. She seemed to have recov ered from her paleness and fainting.— Cousin Fred and I sat upon the front seat facing the ladies, and he every now and then addressed me in that vexin ! teasing tone which he knew so well how j to assume. “ How do you like the springs little icons? By the by, I think that you i have caught a beau. I saw that old fellow who I take it is one of tlie propi i | etors —that frisky old man I mean. ; who showed you the rooms, eyeing you j sharply at table to-day. If you don’t look out lie’ll be obleeged to keep \on here when we start for Oakland. What is that old fellow’s name?” “Carlyle,” said the beauty, with a light laugh. “Carlyle! yes that’s the matt whom 1 expect yet to call cousin. Cousin Car lyle ! The name sounds right well. — Don’t you think so, little cons ?’-’ “ Hush, Fred !” I said, “ what ridicu lous ideas you sometimes take up! — I don’t want to hear your nonsense.” “ I don’t know much about him,” con tinned the vexing mortal, “’don’t know whether lie belongs to any of the arista crude families in the land or not, bin of one thing I am certain —be is a \ery o blcerjing man.” Miss Church smiled faintly. “ I think Mr. Armstrong,”she said “that Claud* will have to give lip all claims in that quarter. Miss Bates led him captive before our arrival.’’ i Again the clear, silvery laughter of 1 the belle rung out like bird-music. “ What makes you think so, pray !’ she asked, at length. “lie spoke of you in very enthusiastic terms I rginember,” said the governess, J “ to Mr. Alslon when lie was showing the rooms. The chief cecominetidalion j of ours was that it was next door to 1 yours, and indeed in mv estimation, that j is, in truth, its only recommendation.’ i “The apartments are miserable, it j must be confessed, said Miss Bates.— j ; “But they tire nevertheless better than they were last year. I have spent the , last three summers here.” “Ah ?” said Miss Church. “ Are any j of you invalids?” | “No—that is none of us are much j afflicted, but mamma sometimes has the eresipelas. Papa likes to stay here— the place had charms for him in his ! boyhood, and so,’ in spite of miserable accomodations, he comes here regularly i every summer. - But fir ! yonder art ! the ruins: we are nearly at the fort.” j We all looked out of the window.— : I saw the remains of an old fortification, ! built perhaps during the Indiau war. i Huge masses of rock lay in broken piles, i and were almost entirely overgrown with I mosses and cryptogamus plants. The | slanting rays of the declining sun, shone full upon them, giving them a golden tinge from the distance, and standing on the top of one of them—high and well defined against the sky—l saw a tall liunutn form. The figure appar ently- was watching our approach. “Is it possible,” thought I, “ that Mr. Maroon has ridden so fast as to be there already?” As we drew nearer, the figtie got down and disappeared behind the ruins. When the carriage stopped, I half expected to see the gallant, gentleman of an uncer tain age, come forth to help MBs Bates I from the seat.. But he did not. Cous in Fred handed us all out, and we sat \ down on a fragment, and looked up at : the stupendous pile over our heads, wi.h ; a feeling ot awe, at, our hearts. 1, at j least, felt awe-struck, and I was thinking ot the bloody scenes which might, some times have been enacted out-side of those, crumbling gates —of the Hoods of crim- j son gore which perchance had dyed the I sod now so green and luxuriant be neath our foot, while the pale face strug gled with the rod man for empire, when on the summit of the pile, high tower ing above our heads, that human form again appeared and gazed down at us though we had boon pigmies. We all ’ uttered aq exclamation of surprise—tUo NO. 5. figure was so uulooked for. I saw at a glance that it was not Maroon, or any of the dwellers at the springs. Had there been gypsies in that part of the country, I should have been sure that one bad clambered to the top of the pile. Indeed, Meg Merrilies herself, when she so unexpectedly showed herself to the simple Laird of Ellangrown, after the ex pulsion of her tribes from Deruelcugli, | standing with the sapling in her hand j on an overhanging clitt, and breaking the I bough with menaceing words and atti : tudes over the poor Laird’s head, could scarcely bflVe been a wilder looking ob ject than the one now perched above us. I Although it was mid-summer, this man ; wore a tattered blue cloak, lined with . some gay colui, which the evening breeze I swept back, and fluttered behind him. | On his head, he had a singular cap, but his fuitn was tall and gigantic and did not, need the artificial aid of a hat to add to his stature. His face was swarthy as an Indian’s, and while he looked down he uttered something—it was neither a laugh nor a cry —it was a sound only halt human. “It is Newt Welborn, as I live,” said Miss Bales, “I have not seen him about here before-lbs summer. I thought that lie had left these paits entirely. Three summers ago he was at the Springs half of the season, and made a great deal of sport fur the boarders.” “Newt Welborn?” echoed cousin Fred. “ lie is the last person on earth whom 1 expected to meet here. 1 knew him at school. But Miss Church, are you fainting again ? What ails you? You are as white as a ghost, lias that fel low, half idiot, and entirely deaf and dumb, frightened your life out of you? Ha is perfectly harmless, although such a strange looking mortal. You need not be afraid of him. But you are very sick, lam afraid. Had we not better return immediately ?’’ “ Yes,” said Miss Bates, in alarm. — “ You are very pale, and look just ready to faint, T declare,” she continued, tuining to Miss Church. “ I hoped the ride in j the fresh air would do you good: will i you go back ? ’ “ If you please,” said the governess, | faintly. “1 do feel sick ? ’ ! Cousin Fied and Miss Bates almost lifted the girl to her seat. She drew her j green barege veil, closely down over her 1 face, and at that instant, the mute, who had for a moment disappeared from th® Ia serious face that he must not get up ; there any more to frighten the ladies. The poor fellow seemed greatly dis : tre-sed. lie protested that nothing was fur her from Ins intentions, that he had no idea of frightening the ladies,but on !v went up there to see who they were, lie sat and talked until the supper-bell rang, and we saw no more of the mute, Newt Welborn during that evening. But the next morning when I went down lie stood looking into the parlor window from the colonnade. Seeing me, he Uc'oned me to come to him. I felt at first a little afraiu of him, but I went He drew a small slate from his pocket and wrote upon it, “ How in the sick la dj/ ?” I told him.she was quite ill: that she had not rested well, and was nota ble to appear at breakfast, lie took the slate and traced again with the end of the pencil : “Me is sorry , me didn't mean to do it.” Poor fellow !he had a kind heart, and from that moment, I ceased to fear him.
