There is a natural cement which can be pur- chased cheap, and which in all fair- ness. we must say, serves a good purpose in many places, but the cement made from marl. or Portland Cement, is an entirely difierent thing, 7 superior in its cohesiveness, and ‘capable of taking up a much larger ‘proportion of sand or gravel than ‘. the natural product. The Portland Cement is what we purpose to manu. laoture. and with the very best marl to be found in the known world. and l the latest and most approved machin- ery, governed by the ripest know- ledge of a scientific age. our finished product is sure to be uniform and of only one quality and that THE BEST. All will admit that it’s a difficult task to preach a new sermon every week from the same text. Our one text is the Cement Question ; our one purpose is to bring the question fairly. squarely and honestly before the minds of our readers; our one desire is to see a successful culminao. tion of the pet scheme we have ~turned over and over agahiin our mind since the idea of a cement mill first took hold of this community. With one text and one sermon, our writings are liable to become stale. but actuated as we are, by an intense desire to do what we consider our whole duty in the matter, we .must be pardoned for our many short-com- ings.
