TINE WoRKs WoNDERs.-A correspondent
of the Melbourne Daily News, says that in
June, l847, he. met Prince Louis Ronaparte and
his cousin, Jerome Napoleon, at Lady Bles-
sington's. The President was then living in Il
very modest house in King street, st. James
square, and his very unaffected demeanor led
me to form an intimate acquaintance with him.
He appeared to me a person more fond of the
ordinary amusements of the Metropolis, fire.
q%uenting the theatres, casinos, and other SINH
lar places, than an ambitious adventurer. On
the following May, as | was entering the cham
bers of my solicitor, in Lineoin's Inn FIELDS, an
old gentleman, with an umbrella under his arm,
passed me as I opened the swing doors, and
politely removed his hat as l made way for
him. 1t was Louis Philippe. 1t is scarce three
weeks ago | was ordering a waistcoat of my
tailor, when two gentlemen entered the shop,
and one ofthem in broken English gave an or
der fora paletot; | looked up, it was Ledru
Rollin and Etienne Arago, when they had gone,
the worthy tradesman, knowing l had lived
much in Paris, asked me if I knew his custo-
mer, IN. Arago0 and if he could safely give
him credit!

States for Roofing.

Planters are not generally aware of the economy
and advantage of slate roofs for dwellings,, sugar
houses, corn cribs, &c. The original cost is no,
more than double that for even ordinary shingles,
which last but Anew years. while the slate is impe-
rlshable. The cost of putting on is no greater
The safety from fire and from lightning is so well
understood that the cost of insnring slate covered
buildings is about one half. With a well laid slate
roof leakage is impossible. Taken altogether, the
additional expense upon a good building invariably
proves to be a j~udicious economy.
One quarter pitch makes a roof sufficiently steep
for slate. Most roofs, now shingIed, are strong
enough for stating without additional braces.

This articleis now universally acknowledged to he the
most healing and efficient application for diseased or decay
ing lungs, or any portion of the feshy or muscular parts Of
the human body. Its medicinal and preservative qualities
were understood by the Egyptians in the early ages of the
world. and no doubt now exists among scientific men, that
the preparation used in the em%balmment of bodies, was
composed principally Of this ingredient. In later ages, il
was found to be in universal use among the a~boriginies Of
America, and at this day it is their principal, and, in fact,
only medicine for an unsound state of the lungs, or any ap-
proach toit. Those who are acquainted with the history OF
tins hardy race of men, know that death from ConsvuD.

countries appear to have become aware of the great healing
properties of this article. and are now introducing il into

THE STEP-DAUGHTER.
She is not mine and to my heart
Perhaps she is less dear,
Than those who of my life are part
This is the sin | fear.
And ever in the dread to err,
BY loving those the best;
More gentle have | been to her,
Perhaps, than all the rest.
Has any little fault occurred,
That may rebuke demand?
Ere !! can speak a hasty word,
Or lift a Gliding hand,
An angels face comes fitting by,
With look so sad and mild
A voice floats softly from the sky
"Wouldst harm my orphan child?
No-witness thou and all above,
I'll cherish her as mine,
Or may l lose her fathers love,
A love that once was thine!
