- From the Sunday Magazine. LAURA RICHMOND. BY JEAN INGELOW.

CHAPTER II. Goody Fairdew was a very crtd woman when first Laura came from school. She had been bedridden for many years. She had one daughter who lived with her; and they were extremely poor, partly - because this daughter could not go out cooking, as had been herormer occupation. She was a . very good cook, and had been accustomed to go round to the houses in the neighborhood, and help the servants on occasions of dinner parties, or of company in the house. "But I cannot do that now," she once said to Laura, "not even in the summer, for I dare not leave mother for a whole day. It is a great loss, for I used to sleep at home, and I was often out four or five days ruuning, for weeks. But now my nearest neighbor is dead. . You know she lived at the cottage just a quarter of a mile off; now she is dead, at home I must stay, for there is nobody that can come in and look after mother as she did. No, not for love or yet for money." "How often should some otfe look in upon your mother in the course of the day?" asked Laura. "Why, miss, early in the morning I used to give her a good breakfast, and start off by .ix to my place, leaving a good lump of coal on the fire. We're so near the pit, that, thank God, we don't want for cheap fuel, aud that's a great thing; for 'vhere 1 came from, coal was dear and email. Well, miss, then-about eleven, you know, dinner time, my neighbor came in, broke up the coal, and maybe fried a bit of bacon or broke two or three eggs, for I could afford a good dinner for mother when I was in work perhaps she boiled her some potatoes, too, or a cabbage, if mother had a mind to it, aud then, miss, what with propping her up and feeding her, and making up the fire egain, very nenr an hour was gone, for mother has no notion of being hurried over her meals when she likes them. Well, then she went away and came again about four, and boiled the kettle tor her tea, and made her her toast and dripping and then got her into her chair to have it, and made her bed for her, and settled her comfortably; that was not done either much under an hour. After that she did very well till 1 came home. My poor neighbor's death is a great loss to me surely." "1 will be the old woman's neighbor," thought Laura; but she said nothing till she got home, and then she unfolded her plan to her mother, and in the presence of her sisters. The mother was silent, Josephine was much vexed, but Harriet was enthusiastic. "Dear Laura," she exclaimed, "what a delightful idea; it is ju t the sort of thing that I should like to help you in ! I like nice clean poor people, and these Fairdews are always so delightfully clean, their little window so bright, and besides, the mother is such a picturesque-looking old creature." ..'..' "These would be rather menial occupations for Laura, '. said Josephine; for she never counted for a moment on any real help from Harriet. "Oh, but she 'would not be obliged to do them," said Harriet; "of course it wou'd be very disagreeable to have to make one's own bed; but this sort ot'thius Oh, I declare it is quite ro-J mautic." . '! "L should have some occupation," said Laura to Josephine; "and this is the only one that 1 can think of." "Why sli- Wi you?" asked Joseiliiiie. . 'Why? You know very well that we all think we ought not to live entirely for ourselves. We all say that we wish to look up to our Redeemer as an example." "I think you are rushing into this without much thought," answered Josephine. "My dear," said her mother, "you must consider what a tie such an occupation would be to you. Goody Fairdew :uay live foi 3ears." "Yes, mother; but the hours would not interf ere with yours. She scarcely lives a quarter of a mile from us; I could walk back after her dinner, and be in more than time for our luncheon. It would be just the f ame in the afteruoon, I should be home before the time to dress for dinner." "It would interfere with all the picnics and archery parties," said Louisa. "You mut remember that these only come in th summer," answered Laura, "and then the daughter is seldom out more than three days in the weei. "And the other three?" asked Harriet, apprehensively. "I dou r think I should consider it right. Laura, to give up society, happy as I should be to help at other times." "The other three," said Laura, "often go by without any engagement of that sort. If one did come in the way, ot'eourse I should give it up. Mamma, I wih you would speak." "My dear," answered the mother. ! "I only hesitate on account of the v.i'a ier: for you misht be obliged tu !g , way every day." As a ffovernes-; does, observed Laura. "Very good for me, I should think.' "And it is rather a lonely place," continued her mother. "When I had no other companion, I could always take Grip with me, and he can scare the sturdiest beggar away." "Very well," said the mother, with a sigh, for people are much more willing to trust God for themselves than for their children, "I consent;" and she decided in her own mind that when the day was rainy, or her daugh-

Jefhada would send ,her ousemaid. ? - "Why do you dislike this plan?'' said Laura to her sister Josephine, when they were alone in their room. 'T said very little," answered Josephine. - "But I know you dislike it." "Yes, it will make you seem different to other people. It will make you conspicuous.' . ..."' R .'Conspicuous!" exclaimed Laura; "conspicuous in what way?" "Oh," said Josephine,- forgetting herself, "I only meant that everybody would know then that you think a great deal about these things, if you will even give, up society for the sake of them." ' ' " These things" really meant personal religion and religious duties, quite a9 much as work oi charity aud benevolence; and Josephine was vexed with herself when she heard the answer. "I do think of these thiugs a little, but I want to think of them a great deal more: and I want, as much as I can, to put myself in the way of thinking about them more." "So do I," said Josephine, "but this is going out of your way for them. It's in short, it's putting your 'hand to the plough.' " "Was the man to blame," said Laura, "for putting his hand to the plough, or for taking it back again wheu the furrow was only half finished?" "For taking it back," answered Josephine, who observed at once the drift of her sisters question."Then why do you dissuade me from setting my hand to this? Surely it is better to begin, and go on if I can, thaD to refrain from beginning at all; besides, if I begin I may expect help, and go on with that help." "But if you do not go on every one will say you are very inconsistent; You will have given a kind of a pledge which you may find burdensome. This is not one bard tiling to be done

and over, but a series of tiresome little thiugs that will seem as if they would never be over." "You mean," said Laura, "that it is safer to put one's standard as low as possible." ' "I rather meant safer .not to put it too high." "Josey that doe not -answer; put the standard low, and you will go lower. I am sure of it. Put the standard high, aud you will strive to reach it." "And fail, perhaps." "Very likely; but how much you think about consistency. Had I not better be doing rightly sometimes than never? Your plan woald be consistently to refrain from doing good at any time." ....... - "You have such an odd way of putting thiugs," was the answer. "I do not want to discourage you from visiting the poor; you might take a district instead of iuventing this plan." "You kuow very well that in this small place the districts are sought after actually sought after." "Only since we had such a paragon of accurate, and he always in and out of the houses. Well, if a district is not to be had, there is the school." "Do they waut another visitor there?" "No." - . ' ; "But Goody Fairdew docs want her dinner, and she does want her bed made. Let me do that till I find something better to do." Nothing better was found. The old woman's need seldom interfered with Laura's amusements : when it did. she .fr?neraliy nude amusements give way. unless her mother wished to send the housemaid to the cottage. This went on at intervals for two years; Laura fed the old woman, tended her, and read to her. The daughter could not read well, and it used to give Laura great pleasure to hear the old creature say. ''Bead me my prayers, miss, and read me my chapter. I look for 'em now, aud seems to want 'em." So Laura would kneel by the bed, and read' to her simple prayers and collects and psalms, aud then a chapter out of the Bible; she also taught her a few hymns, and often felt very happy when her poor old patience would say, gravely, "Them are very fine words, they seems to do me good." "I think about those prayers" and those texts ever so much when you're gone," she once observed. "Po you?" said Laura. "Ay, dear, and when we both get to Heaven I'll tell you what I think; but I can't now, for you see I've no learning. I think a vast deal, but I can't give it words; but you'll wair, dear, won t you?" "Wait?" said Laura, not quite sure of her meaning. "Ay. wait, dear; I shall get in, nevj er !ear. l. Irrist will open the door. I I trust in h'm, and, dear. I should like I you to know what I think about it all, j and how I thank you. So when you ! come I I: tell it y m." hen people put themselves in the way oi thing-, they often meet with ' them, aud so Laura found ;.ome things j that it was well she should do became I i easy to her: som? things that it was i well she shouid think of were eon- : statitiy brought before her, while she j tried to reader them plain to the blunt understanding of the old woiuaa: she eouli now think with more serious- ; ness of life and death, aud the hereaf- i ter, because she was so often with one whose life was fast waning away.

Great T3iasooveij ; Complete Revolution in Ronjing! " THE PLASTIC SLATE "For Koofing and other purposes. Patented February 21st, 1S65. THIS ISTERENTI.XK DISCOVER V was made known to the world by the Farmers' Club of New York, at their meeting in the latter part of Jane, li, and its Importance to our country and the world was earnestly discussed: but the Inventor, William L. Potter, of Ciifton Park, N. Y., has been carefully experimenting with the materia! for many years, aud lias demonstrated its utility and practicability. Af:er suffering many partial failures in compounds of lime in all its various forms and phases in sand, granite, plaster, mineral coal, clay of various kinds, marbledust, soap-stone, cement, coal-tar, vegetable tar, asphaitum, etc. In all the propoitionsand combinations that an intelligent and inventive mind could suggest, tor mirteen yearn. He tried the slate-stone also. In many combinations, betore he discovered that nature's aw ot reconstruction was exceedingly simple, requiring only giuten to hold the particles in connection till time aud the action of the elements firmly uuite.them. 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 unequaled 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 roof, such as rust-holes, cracks, and breads, malting them permanently waterproof, and more durable, nt much less cost than a tin-smith could afford lodo it. even in his imperfect manner. Old roofs ol every description can be repaired much more durably and cheaply with Mautic Mote than with any o: her material extant. Coal-tar Is found to be the viscious element alike of coal and slate; and it was diacovered, not invented, aud scientific investigation, as well as experience, fully establishing the fact that its exposure to heat and cold, wet and drv, erves only to reconstruct the two element in their condition Solid Slate.

PLASTIC SLATS IS SUPERIOR TO TIX i. Because it is a better non-conductor of heat. The rooms under it will be cooler in summerand warmer in winter. J. It will not rust. 3. It will not break or crack open like tin does Where jointed. 4. It is less dangerous. Dr. Tyng's church one of the liuest in New York, was burned in Noveniler, Si5, causing a loss of fiMJ.OUO, from a fire in its tin roof, from the braziers of some la'jn who were repairing it. 5. It needs no painting, which on tin amounts in a few yeari to the entire cost Of Plastic Slate Roof. ii. Because it cost half as much, and lastt twice as long. I have, at considerable expense, obtained from -'The Plastic Slate Joint Stock Corapauy, ot New York," an exclusive right for Evansville and Vanderburgh County, Iud., aud am prepared to put on new roofs and repair old tin roofs, repair tin, sine 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 ler square.

... THE , J . '.. ' urxox pacificRAILROAD CO. Are now constructing a Railroad from OMAHA, XEBRASKA, westward toward the Pacific Ocean, making, with its connections, an unbroken line ACROSS TIIE CONTINENT. The Company now offer a limited amount of their FIRST .MORTGAGE BONDS, having thirty years to run and bearing annual interest, payable on the first day of January atd July, iu the City ot New York, at the rate of SIX PER CENT., IN GOLD, at Mnety Cents on the Dollar. Tills road is already completed to Julesburg, S7J miles west of Omaha, and is fully equipped, and trains are regularly lunuing over it. The Company has now on hand sultieient iron, ties, etc., to finish the remaining portion to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, 141 miles, Which is under contract to be done in September of this year; and It Is expect eil that the entire road will be in running order from Omaha to it western connection with the Central Pacific, now beinsr ra idly built eastward from Sacramento, Cal., during 187U. Means of the Company. Estimating the distance to be built by the Union Pacific to bo 1,5(13 miles, the United states Government issues its Six per Cent, Thirty-Year iionds to the Company as the road Is finished, at the average rate of about sf.S.2-50 per mile, a mounting to i41,2(),0UO. The Company is also permitted to issue its own First Mortgage liouds to an equal amount, aud at the same time; which, by special Act ot Congress, are made a First Mortgage on the entire line, the bonds of the United States being subordinate to them. The Government makes a donation of 12,oi) acres of laud to the mile, amounting to 20,t;;j,000 acres, estimated to be worth SiO,Aio,(Xor making the total resources, exclusive of the capital, gliH,41i,lKX); but the full value of the lands cannot now be real' lzed. The authorized Capital Stock of the Company is one hundred million dollars, ot which live millions have already been paiu in, and of which it is not supposed that more than twenty-five millions at most will be required. The cost of the road is estimated by competent engineers to be about one hundred million dollars, exclusive of equipment. Value and Security of the Bonds. The Coicpaiiy respectfully submit, that the above statement of facts fully demonstrates the security of their Bonds; aud as additional proof, they would suggest that the Bond now offered are less than ten million dollars on 517 miles of road, on which twenty milli n dollars have already been expended. Ou SJO miles of this road the cars are now running, and the remaing 1K7 miles are nearly completed. At the present rate of premium on gold, these bonds pay an annual interest on the present cost of , Nine per Cent. aud it Is believed that on the completion of the road, like the Governmeut Houds, they will go above par. T he Company intend to sell but a limited amount at the present low rate, and ret.iu lua right to advance the price at their option, subscriptions will be received in New York by the Coxti.xek.ta1i National Bank, No, 7 Nassau jslreet; Clakk, DonoE & Co., Bankers, 51 Wall Street; JOHN J.
