JS. P. RUSSELL'S   PATEJVT.
FRANCIS   MELLUS,
HAVING purchased the patent right of the above
valuable invention, for the purpose of supplying the counties ol Los Angeles, Sun Bernardino
and San Diego, is now prepared to execute all order, with which he may be favored.
The public are award that it has been tbe study of
scientific men, architect;-und builders, tor many year-
to discover an article for Roofing purposes, thnt will
withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
lo water, and of sure protection against lire. Th.
inventor of this roofing labored many years to combine articles wliich would answer the above purpose
and obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin aud shingles, and the destruction by
lhe sun and frost of the various compositions used
for roofing. This be succeeded in doing, and now,
after six years of the severest trial we would invite
tbe careful attentien ot all interested in such matters,
believing that thoy will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects we believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can- readily be applied
to roof's of every description, either steep or fiat, and
can be put on over shingles 01 tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half thc cost ot the latter.
Two coats of the mastic put on over au old leaky
tin roof, will m ike it as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water proof prepjiratiou, alter which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of the
flour of soapstone, which sets into the texture of the
canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is put upon the roof, another coating ol mastic,which
fs thoroughly filled with sand, is given it. making it
fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm atul solid, giving you a roof that
can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and aa
durable as an\ thing known; aud we do most candidly
and uniie-iitatiiiirlv believe, far superior to anything-
oi the ki d yet discovered; and alter a sevi-re test
ot many years, f^tand as reliable and good as when
first put on. without change or decay. All that we
ask is, thiit a 'areful examination may be given it,
and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give
■foil' the names of some of the persons using this
coofni0*  and to whom we are at libeity to refer:

Osit. qualiticH  are necessary, th. want of nny
one of winch \yould disarrange the happiest  combination 0! perfection:.    Dark and piercing  orbs,
bereft of their accustomed   eye-fringe,   ruby   lips
entiling but to reveal the hideousnos of deforced
teeth,   an ill-proportioned   nose  ou an   otherwise
perfect  countenance,   even a single mole or  wart
bespotting a fair complexion, are examples of thu
-mallness of the tenure upon which beauty is held.
It would,   therefore, appear   tbat personal  perfection is kit   to the merest caprices of chance,  and
that the   many beautiful   women whom we   every
day behold, .are not only  beautiful   from ai   most
xlraordinary   accident,  but  are   liable   to  bave
their   beaniy   destroyed  by Lbe  simplest turn   of
fortune.    But. except in very extreme eases, s-uch
dissimulariiy as lias been mentioned, ts never seen;
nature delights  to  bestow  all   her   favors   upon
the beautiful, and to heap together her impcrclec-
tioflfi in h mass.    Tims it  would seem  to me   that
the   beauties of  the mind  would more  naturally
be found uBSociated  with those of the person, although   from the   modern habit  of  decrying   the
tatter, one   would be  led  to the  supposition  that
virtue dwelt in the homely alene.
The properties whicli combine to form beauty
are various, and are diffi-reut in distinct individuals ; yet it requires some especial qualities, with-
out'which no woman can lay any i-laim to beauty.
Among these, aud at tbe head of all, I will mention graee.
Two ladies whom I have seen are deemed very
beautiful, and opinien seems to be divided among
their male acquaintances,- as to whom to award
the golden apple.
America, with a tall and commanding person,
unites a mind soaring, noble and gifted. A Grecian refinement of beauty end ot taste, and thoughts
too high for the petty ambitions of commou life,
place America apart from ihe rest of her sex, and
gives to a naturally generous heart an appearance
of isolation and oi coldness. It nay be from lhe
inability of ordinary man to reach tbe siandatd
which she has planted for him, or it may he a consciousness ofher owu superiority that endows her
wilh an air oi I itiness over ali. Wilh her wit,
agrceabilily and sterling good sense, America becomes the centre of attraction in all company, and
around whom a host of admirers congregate lor
eiitei-taiiinn.nt. She mores among them as a sovereign,  and they  pay a  subject's homage.    She
sphere far remote from these, while she can
Ihem plensttre by descending to their level
cannot rise in relurn to Ihe higher region of her
mind, and repay thu debt. Vanity when clogged
by satiety, becomes pride. Il pride is a characteristic of America, it cannot be deemed a limit.
We seem to expect it; she would not be. Am.rica
without it. Bob Belvidere, perhaps, has given us
a true portrait, though little poetry. Some
that Boli is a dieapp-inled suitor.
