SILVER’S PLASTIC PAINTS—CHEAP,
DURABLE, AND PROTECTIVE—WEA
THER AND FIRE PROOF.—This Paint will
stand any climate, without crack or blister, and
hardens by exposure, thus making in time an
enamel of stone, piotccting Wood trom decay, and
Iron and other metals trom rust and coiiosion.
This Paint differs trom the so-called Mineral
Paints of the day, which are principally Ochres
and Clays colored, and are entirely worthless.
Silver s Plastic Paints are purely Metalic, con
taining no Alumin or (’lay.
They are levigated finely, mix readily with
Linseed Oil, (without the trouble of grinding,)
and tlow under the brush as treely as the best
White Lead.
These Paints excel all others in body or cover
ing properties, one pound ot which will covei
as much surface, as two pounds ot White Lead.
There are tour natural colors, v iz: black or
Slate, Brown, Olive, and Chocolate.
Directions.—This Paint tlows freely under the
brush, and its covering property is increased by
using it mixed as thickly as possible, with i*i kk
Linseed Oil; as the Paint is the lasting or pro
tecting body, and the Oil simply the medium or
agent in spreading it.
We annex copies ot two letters, one trom the
President ol the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
Road Company, the other trom a gentleman, a
well known resident ot Augusta. Georgia.

Dear Sir: You ask me for my opinion of
‘•Silver's Mineral Paints,*' which you have put on
my Machine Shop and Planing Mill. 1 give you
with pleasure my full and hearty recommenda
tion ol it as a preventive of Eire communica
ting from chimneys, or from adjoining buildings.
The Paint which you put on my roof, has now
become as hard as slate, and l feel as secure ti<>m
Eire, in this direction a> is possible. A few
weeks after the roots had been painted,! made
an experiment on two or three shingles, bv pla
cing them in the furnace under the boilers; the
result w as, that the portion uncovered was en
tirely consumed, while the Painted part was ap
parently sound, though upon examination tne
wood was found to be charred; the Paint, how
ever, was jh in, and but little blistered. I consider
this as severe a test as your Paint can be put to,
and under the circumstances. I do not hesitate to
commend it as an invaluable preventive against
Eire. Respectlully, \c.,
(Signed.) AMBROSE SPENCER.

THE LONDON TIMES ON GOUGH.
Gough, the great Temperance lecturer, has
| been laboring in England during the past
year, and with the greatest success. We
subjoin the billowing complimentary notice oi
his oratorical displays from the London Times:
John B. Gough is the Paganini of orators.
He plays only on one string, but one capable
of infinite responses—the life a drunkard!
' Oh, heavens and earth, oh, angels, men, and
devils, what a theme! running from cheruh
infancy, through wasted youth, blasted man
hood, days of alternate revelry and cursing,
a home of unrelieved misery, a death of shame
and anguish! It is this that Mr. Gough re
cites night after night. He paces up and
i down some eighteen or twenty feet of a plat
form, judiciously left dear for him, paces up
and down, with hands clenched as in agony,
or pawing the air to keep off the ghosts of
i memory—pouring out words with such spon
taneity that they sometimes seem to tumble
over one another, and smother meaning in
their fall, scarcely stopping at a cheer, never
invitin*'' one. fie tells you with gestures,
n • ... i •_____i
even more Mgniiieam uh»h up j'.n’niumuc »»»*'*
sometimes beautiful words, how he went out
from the home of a poor, hut pious, loving
mother, wandering from the straight road,
w as whipped bv demons over an arid desert,
fed upon the l/ot sand in his burning thirst,
felt a word of mercy like cooling water on
his tongue, saw a rainbow of hope over the
; abvss of seven years of sin, and was restored
tit strength and purity, it not happiness,
i When he has told this, he can turn to other
men, can paint society with a vivid pencil,
ami conduct an argument with a vigor the
more effective because tolerant. Sometimes
he will introduce an illustration, like that ot
! trie boat on the rapids, which will hold an
' audience in a suspense almost of agony,
ami force them to seek relief in appropriate
tumult.
