" THE PLASTIC" SLATE" For HoofiDg and other purposes. Patented February 2s 1805. THIS IXTKUESTIXO BISC'OTERY was made known to the world by the Farmers' Club of New York, at their meeting in the latter part of June. 18t5, and its Importance Uour country and the world was earnestly discussed: but the inventor, William L. Potter, ol Oil ft el Park. N.Y has been carefully experimenting with the material for many yeajtand has -demonstrated its utility and practicability'. After suffering many, partial failures in compounds of lime la aft Its .various forms and phases In sand, granite, plaster, min eral coal, clay of various, kinds. marble dust, oap-stone, cement, oal-ulr,- vegetaoie tar, aspnaitum, etc. in an tne proroit Ions and combinations thatanintelligent and inventive mind, eonjd suggest, lor foHrleri yearat 'He tried the,slate-ste also, ln many combinations, before he discovered that nature's law ot reconstruction -was exceedingly simple, requiring onlygluten to hold tne particles lu connection tlU time and the action of the elements firmly unitetbem. ; "" If ever a roof leaks, It will be owing to other causes than the decay of the covering. -It will be because the water goes round, not through it. It is unequoled as a paint over new tin, and would preserve It many years without further attention, and should be used for that purpose instead of paint. It will repair all defects in old tin roofs, such as rust-holes, cracks, and breaks, making them permanently waterproof, and more durable, at much less cost than a tin-smith could afford to do it, even in his Imperfect manner. Old roofs of every description can be repaired much more 'durably and cheaply, with ' PlaaHe Slate than with any pi her material extant. Coal-tar is found to be the vlsclous element alike of coal and slate; and It was discovered, not invented, and scientific Investigation, as well as experience, fully establishing the fact that its exposure to heat and cold, wet and dry, serves only to reconstruct the two elements in their condition Solid Slate. :; PLASTIC SLATE m SUPERIOR to TIX. 1. B cause it Is a better non-conductor of heat. The rooms under It will be cooler in summer and warmer in winter. . . , 2. It will not rust. 3. It will not break or crack open like tin does where jointed., . 4. It is less dangerous. Tr. Tyng's church, one of the finest in New York, was burned in November, 1865, causing a loss of J250,OW, from a fire in its tin roof, from the braziers of some men who were repairing it. ' 5. It needs- no- painting, which on tin amounts in a few years to the. entire cost Of Plastic Slate Roof. " V6. Because it costs half at much, and lasts twice as lorn. - i. I have, at considerable expense, obtained from "The Plastic Hlftte Joint Stock Company,, of New York," an exclusive right for Evansville and Vanderburgh County, Ind., and am prepared to put on new roofs and repair old tin roofs, repair tin, zinc and copper gutters. Present, price for new Plastic Slate Roofs' eight dollars per square of ten feet ; same applied to new or old tin roof, four dollars per square. Gutters repaired at reasonable rates as to size ; and ut these prices all work will be kept in order (accidents excepted) five pears, at the expiration of which time It will be belter than when new. i We have , the privilege of referring to the following parties for whom we have applied the Plastic Slate Hoofing: R.

THE AGEB. "

Once upon a morning bleary, While I sat dreaming, dreary. In the sunshine thinking o'er Things that passed in days of yore While I nodded, nearly sleeping, Oertly came a something creeping ; i Up my back,' like water seeping. Seeping upwards from the floor " Tis a cooling breeze, " I muttered, ' From the regions 'neath the floor, Only this,-and nothing more. " Ah ! distinctly I remember, " It was in that wet September, When earth aud every member,, i . s: ' Of creation that it bore, . 1 Had for weeks and weeks been soaking " ; I n the meanest, most provoking. v. '' Foggy rains, that, without Joking, , j ' W hail nVor 4n Ki ' ir iSo. I knew it must be very 1 ' "oju ana gamp, oeneam tne.noor. . r : So I sat' me, nearly nodding, ' - In the sunshine, stretching, gaping; - And a feeling quite delighted With the breeze from 'neath the oor,.i Still I found me growing colder, 1 ' A And the stretching waxing bolder,' :. And my bones all feeling older . Older than I'd felt before; Feeling that my Joints were stlffer r Tcan they were in day of yore , t ; Stiffer than they'd been before.. All along my back the creeping -Boon gave place to rushing, leaping, As If countless frozen demons . Had concluded to explore ; - ' ' All the cavities the varmints 'Twlxt me and my nether garments; Up into my hair and downward . Throned mv bnou into th floor; Then I felt myself a shaking, wenuy snajting more aniimore Shivering to the very core. 'Twast the Ager--how it shook me Jerked me awful, and then took mt Shaking to the kitchen ever . Place where there was warmth in store, - Shaking till the " china" rattled, Shaking till my morals battled, ' ' Shaking, and with all my warming, Feeling colder han before; t Shaking till it had exhausted s- V . All its powers to shake me more. -' Till it could not Jerk, me moreThen It rested till the morrow, When It came with ail It horror, That it had the face to borrow, Shaking, shaking as before; And from taat day in September .' Iay which I shall long remember : It has made me dismal visits, ' Shaking, shaking, oh, so sore; Shaking off my boots, and shaking - Me to bedr or on the floor - . . Fully this, and nothing more. ' '." V" '"' " And to-day, the swallow flitting Round my cottage, sees me sitting' Moodily, within the sunshine, Just inside my silent door, - . Waiting for the Ager seeming " ' Like a man forever dreaming, And the sunlight on me streaming, 7 H Sheds no shadow on the floor . For lam too thin and shallow To make shadows on the floor ' ' ' Nary shadow any more! ,. HUMOROUS. The . favorite air now-a-daya ; its a million aire.- ' .' The worst organ grinder a hollow tooth that playa the deuce.. -.What is fashion? Dinner at midnight and a headache in the morning. You can't keep fruit through, the Winter unless you can. . . .' Why does a person who is sickly lose much of his sense of touch? Because he don't feel well, i i " How is your son to-day? "r asked a friend of a stock broker. M Very ill." replied the old gentleman, struggling to maintain composure, tears coursing down his agitated features; "very illj I would not give ten per cent, for his chance of life." An insuranco agent, urging a citizen to get his life insured, said: " Get your: life insured for ten thousand dollars, and then if you die next week, the widder's heart will sing for joy', - . . , , . Spurgeon often comes out with a good' thing. "Brethren," said he, " if God had referred the ark to a Committee on Nayal Affairs, it's my opinion it would not have been built yet." - ' " Where are you eoinsr so fast, Mr. Smith?'' demanded Mr. Tones. : "Home, sir, home; don't ; detain me,. I have just bought: my wife a new bonnet, and I must deliver ' it belore the fashion changes.". - ; " Look here, boy,'' said a nervous gentleman , to , an urchin who was munching candy at a lecture, " you are annoying me very much.",. , f No I ain t neither," said the urchin;. ."I'm a-gnawing ;.thisv 'ere candy." it - ... ,.T . ; . "Sambo, can you "tell me in what building people are . most likely to .take oold?" " Why, no; me strange in de town and can't tell dat." ' t " Well, I will tell you it is de bank." ' '. ; "How is dat?'!"-;... .' : - " Because dare are so many drafts in it." '- ,- - . - "No." '. - -:- ' ' '- ' " Because so many go ' dare to Taise de wind. " Yah, yah, yah. ; ' . . -. . i a ..,.. , ... . : V You wouldj be . pretty, ! indeed," f?aid a gentleman patronizingly, to a young lady, " if your eyes - were only a little larger." ."My eyes may be very small, sir, but Buch people as you don't Jill theml"j . An Irishman had been sick for a long time, and while in this state would occasionally cease breathing, and life be apparently extinct for some time, when he would again revive. On one of , these occasions, when he had just awakened from his sleep, Patrick asked him "Ah, how'll we know, Jemmy, when., you're dead? You're after wakin us ivery time." : -, " Bring me a glass of grog," he reS lied, and say to me, 'Here's to ye, emray, an' if I don't rise up and dhrink then bury me." . The last effusion of the renowned A. Ward-we have not yet seen in print. It is said that 'A. W. being at one of the New York churches recently, edified the audience by his unexpected reply to the preacher's text, which was as follows: " How are the mighty

fallen?'' -After a abort cause. Artel

mus looked up inquiringly, and said A well, while being measured for a pair of boots, observed, "Make them cover the jCalf." " Impossible I" exclaimed the astonished bout-makei, surveying his customer from head to foptji"I have not leather enough.11' j A distinguished - London surgeon has lately taken jthe lecture-room to re-assure the ladies in relation to the " chignon fallacy He says the V organisms'" are neither entozno noy.ep izo, but only ectezano, which are comparatively harmless. ; t . . , .

The scene ; of the adventure is located in a town in Tennessee: . -' ",' i..', t ' -, ". "A funny incident occurred n here last jnighL. Ine , lat Contributor delivered a humorous, lecture here under the auspices of the ' Crocodile Club,' (to which he has. been elected an honorary member, by the way.) for theA benefit; of the suffering poor of Jvnoxvilie. lnere being no ball here adequate to bold the people, who desired to hear. , Hun-ki-do-n,') i laree church was secured for the our . pose, i A comic programme had been prepared, to be circulated among the audience, and one ot the committee gave, them into, theM hands-.of Brown,, steward of - the.. Lamar House, with directions to take them to the church and., see them properly distributed. . Brown made a mistake in the church, and got , into one where a prayer meeting ,was : to be held.,' He found one couple who had come rather early, and supposing that the person, engage to attend door was behind time, ho coneluded to officiate in, that capacity himselt. liomg. up to thei man he said' tickets, sir, if you please.'Ihe man bad none, ot course, and expressed, his surprise that tickets should be required to attend a prayer meeting.
