FLAT RooFs FOR sEs.-The follow
.ingsuggestions in regard to the advantages
of fat roofs for buildings we take from the
Scientific American:
'l. "Allt the new houses which have been
built in New York recently, have what are
termed fiat roofs that is, the roof is nearly
level, and slants but slightly from one side
to the other. The old huge peaked roofs
are fast disappearing; we wonder how they
ever cameinto use. The inventor Of them
must have been aman full of conicnl ideas.
The fiat roofs are covered with tin and well
painted. If fire takes place in a building,
it s'easy to walk and work onthe fiat roof
so as to command the fire, if it be'in the adj
jacent buildings; this cannot be done on
peaked roofs. Flat roofs are cheaper ant
more convenient in every respect. Wead
wise all those who intend to build new hous
es to have fiat roofs on them. 1t is better
to have flush story at the top Of a building
than "A peaked, cramped-up garret, which-is
only comfortable for travelling on the hand,
and knees. ..'

The uene Of Peace.


We are apt to grow a-weary
In this troubled world al tn es,
For even golden bells can ring
In melancholy chimes
And let our human lot in life
BE w hat or where 1t may,
Dark shadows often rise, from which
Our hearts would turn away.
Full often do we sigh to taste
Some spirit draught of joy,
And almost envy chiidhood's laugh
Above its painted toy,
When some great hope breaks under US,
Or loved ones prove unjust,
And. reused from starry dreams, we ind
Our pillow in the dust.
Say. whittier shall we turn to seek,
The healing balm of rest,
And whence shall come the cheerful ray
To re ilIumine our BREAST
Oh let us go and breathe our woe
In Nature = kindly ear,
For her soft hand will never deign
To wipe the mourner's tear;
She mOcks not, tho we tell our grief
With voice all sad and faint,
And seems the fondest while we pour
Our weak and lonely plant.
Oh let US take our sorrows
To the bosom of the hills,
And blend our pensive murmurs
With the gurgle of the rills
Oh let us turn in WEAKNESS
Toward the grassy way,
Where skyIarks teach US how to praise,
And ringdoves how to pray;
And there the melodies OF Peace,
That float around the sod,
Shall bring back hope and harmony
With the voice of God.
