' MY VIS-A-VIS.
W BY A. r. WHITE.
That olden lady—can it bo T
Well, well, how seasons slip away !
Do lot me hand her cup of tea.
That I may to her gently say :
“Dear madam, thirty years ago,
When both our hearts were full of glue,
In many a danoo and courtly show
I had you for my vis-a-via.
“That pale blue robe, those chesnut curls,
That Kastern jewel on your wrist,
That neck enelroling string of pearls
Whence hung a cross of amethyst—
I see them all—l tee the tulle
Looped up with roses at the knee.
Good Lord! how fresh end beautiful
Was then your cheek, my vis-a-vis.
“I hoar the whispered praises yet,
The buss of pleasure when you came,
The rush of eagerness to get,
Like moths, within the fatal flame •
As April blossoms, faint and sweet,
As apples when you shake the tree,
So hearts fell showering at your feet,
In those glad days, my vis-a-vis.
“And as for me, my breast was filled
With silvery light in every cell ;
My blood was some rich juice distilled
From amaranth asphodel;
My thoughts wore airier than the lark
That carols o’er the flowory lea;
They well might breathlessly remark,
‘By Jove! that is a vis-a-vis!’
“0 time and change, what is’t ye mean ?
Ye Gods ! can I believe mine cars ?
Has that bald, portly person been
Your husband, ma’am, for twenty years ?
That six-foot officer your son,
£Vho looks o’er his moustaches at me ?
Why did not Joshua stop our sun
When I was first your vis-a-vis ?
“Forgive me if I’ve been too bold,
Permit me to return your cup;
My heart was beating as of old,
One drop of youth still bubbled up.”
So spoke I; then, like cold December,
Only these brief words said she:
“I do not in the least remember
I ever was your vis-a-vis.”

Roofing.
LOOK TO YOUR ROOFS."
Having secured the state
RIGHT OF THE
PATENT MICA ROOFING,
We are 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 bo ap
plied to Steep or Flat Roofs, or over old
Shingle Roofs, without removing the 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.
JS&- It costs about one-half the price of
TiD. A
It is cheap, durable, and is easily and
quickly applied. The 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 surfaco of stone,
beautiful in appearance, and a sure protec
tion against fire.
We shall also kcop constantly on hand n
■upply of
INDIA RUBBER ROOFING PAINT,
which is tbo best coating that can be used
for Tin Roofing. Leaky Tin Roofs cun bo
readily repaired, so as to last many years,
at a trifling cost, which would in many
cases save the expense of anew Roof.
Full directions for applying, and prices,
sent on application.

CHOLERA.
gs A CERTAIN CURE
For this Disease may be
found in the use of
PERRY DAVIS’
3?ain JKiller,
St. Louis, Mo., June 14, 1849.
Mr. A T. Woodward, Ayent of Perry Davis’
Pain Killer :
DeaYi Sir : I feel it a doty I owe to the
public, to make known the value 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 ono dollar bottle of you for pains with
which I have long been nfflicted, and made
use of it ou iny 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 and gratification, found
it gave immediate relief! On my arrival
in St. Louis, I called on you and got four
largo bottles, and stated to you my confi
denoo 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
Orloans 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. Since 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 the pub
lic, that in all the first stages of Cholera,
when taken in time, it is, in iny opinion, an
infallible remedy! aDd after a fair trial
with it for several weeks, and tor four
trips to Now Orleans and back, and using
it for Cholera and other complaints for
which it is recommended, no consideration
whatever would induce me to leave port
without a good supply—believing it to be a
medicine that no officer of a boat or any
tamily would be without a single day after
using one bottle; believing it to bo the
most valuable family medicine known to
tho world for all the different complaints
for which it is recommended.
P, S.—Ploase send mo six large bottles
for this trip.
J. M. BnoAnwr.LL,
Captain Steamer Adriatic.
I most cordially unite 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 tho public as an
invaluable mediciue, that no individual
should he without a single hour.

Clerk Steamer Adriatic.
