WAITING.
BY REBECCA JACOBUS.
I am waiting, darling, waiting,
Twilight glimmers o’er the sea;
The wind is on the billow,
And the mist is on the lea;
Waiting for the promise, love,
You whispered once to me.
Dim elouds are swiftly gliding
O’er the misty azure dome,
Aod the lonely night wind wandering
Back to ite caverned home,
Mourns by me, darling! come, oh ! come—
I am waiting sad and lone.
The hours are slowly passing, love—
Stars light the holy sky;
And the milkyway is circling
Its sorrowing track on high ;
And the rocky cliffs re-echo
My weary, waiting cry.
The pallid moon is waning, love,
And darkling storm-clouds hide ;
The glistening stars and lurid gleams,
Lighting the billowy tide,
Brings back the solemn promise
You made me ere you died.
The rising gale is sobbing loud,
And the thunder's mufilod tread
Breaks o’er the surging waters,
Sounds hoarsely over head.
I shiver ’mid the shadows—
Darling! darling ! are you dead f
Waiting, waiting for the promise, love,
By the storm-toss'd ocean bed ;
Ever lonely, ’mid the shadows,
For your mystic, spirit tread;
But the wailing, answering ocean
Cries, “Darling ! ore you dead ?"

Roofing.
LOOK TO YOUR ROOFS.
Having secured the state
RIGHT OF THE
PATENT MICA ROOFING,
We arc now prepared to supply it in any
quantity, or to apply it to Roofs.
The MICA ROOFING is adapted to build
ings of every description, and can be ap
plied to Steep or Flat Roofs, or over old
Shinglo Roofs, without removing tho shin
gles. We recommend its use on Factories,
Foundries, Store Houses, Cotton Sheds,
Railroad Depots and upon all buildings
where steam is used, and a Fire Proof* re
quired.
It costs about one-half the price of
Tin.
It is cheap, durablo, and is easily and
quiekly applied. Tho upper surface of the
Roofing is protected from the action of the
weather, by its covering of Ground Mica,
which is pressed into the water proof com
position, making a hard surface of stone,
beautiful in appearance, and a Bure protec
tion against fire.
We shall also keep constantly on hand a
•upply of
INDIA-RUBBER ROOFING PAINT,
which is the best coating that can bo used
orTin Roofing. Leaky Tin Roofs can be
oadiiy repaired, so as to last many years,
a trifling cost, which would in many
eases save the expense of anew Roof.
Full directions for applying, and prices,
sent on application.

Jfcglj PERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
Pain JKiller,
St. Louis, Mo., June 14, 1849.
Mr. A T. Woodward, Agent of Perry Davis’
Pain Killer :
Dkar Sir : I feel it a duty I owe to the
public, to make known the vaiue of Perry
Davis’ Pain Killer, and my experience in
using it for some of the complaints for
which it is highly recommended. In April
last, on your recommendation, I purchased
a one dollar bottle of you for pains with
which I have long been afflicted, and made
use of it ou ray trip down to New Orleans,
with the most gratifying and beneficial
effects. On my return to this city, the
Cholera made its appearance among some
of my passengers. I made use of the Pain
Killer, having no other remedy on board,
and, to my surprise aod gratification, found
it gave immediate relief! On my arrival
in St. Louis, I called on you and got four
large bottles, and stated to you my confi
dence in it as an infallible Cholera remedy,
and remarking to you that I wanted no
other Cholera remedy on my boat. I made
use of the four bottles on my trip to New
Orleans and back, for Cholera and some
other complaints for which it is recom
mended, and met with the most astonishing
success ; when I ordered from you six more
one dollar bottles. Sinco then I have
made two more trips to New Orleans and
back; and on my previous trip up I had
more than
SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA
on board, when the PAIN KILLER was
immediately used with the most astonishing
results. In all cases where it was used in
time, it gave relief in a very short time;
and I can, with confidence, say to tho pub
lic, that in all the first stages of Choiera,
when taken in time, it is, in my opinion, an
infallible remedy! aDd after a fair trial
with it for several weeks, and tor four
trips to New Orleans and back, and using
it for Cholera and other complaints for
which it is recommended, no consideration
whatever would induce mo to leave port
without a good supply—believing it to be a
medicine that no officer of a boat or any
family would bo without a single day after
using one bottlo; believing it to be the
most valuable family medicine known to
the world for all the different complaints
for which it is recommended.
P. S.—Please send mo six large bottles
for this trip.
J. M. Broadwell,
Captain Steamer Adriatic.
I most cordially unito with Capt. Broad
well in recommending Perry Davis’s Pain
Killer to the public, having myself been
severely attacked with tho Cholera, and
found relief in a few hours by using the
Pain Killer, and have myself administered
it to more than fifty persons attacked with
the Cholera, and when used in time, a cure
was effected in a few hours, and take pleas
ure in recommending it to the public as an
invaluable medicine, that no individual
should ho without a single hour.
J. F. Boffington,
Clerk Steamer Adriatic.
