In hours gone by, When the sun of childhood shone bright, Ere my brow was o'erclouded, or heart knew a sigh, I've roamed o'er thy hanks with delight ; Have gazed on each bright, laughing ways as it fell. That gradually rose to my view, Till it threw o'er my soul, In a magical spell, Blest charms that my infancy knew. O, proud flowing river! how crnceful you wind By mountain, thronirh valley and dell i The inem'rles of childhood ' are round thee entwined, Like g.irlands in hope's fairy cell. The happiest hours my soul evrr knew, In life's brightest sunshine or shade, Are hours that memory oft brines to my view, When by thy sweet waters I strayed. The soft, smiling ripples that steal o'er your face, Are like blushes from maiden divine On your bosom a trembling emotlo-i I've traced. As you si;:hed at the kiss of the wind. The sweet gushing music your light waves Impart, In my bosom a happiness wakes Like blessings from heaven, fall sweet on my heart, As you murmuring How lo (he lake. I am far from thee now, and year, have gone ! Since I .frayed on thy white pebbly shore, ! And thought, as I hid you adieu with a sigh, I mieht crae on thy houin no more, But in hours of pleasure and mirth, Wherever mv pathway my be, I will fondly look back to the homo ot my birth, On the banks of the old Genesee. Flow on, lovely river, the theme of my lay?, And oft In the poet's wild dreams Ye wilt come as a vision of happier days, . To cheer her lone hsart wlUt your beanie. And oht wlreir' the, last treroblipg ray skvll ' depxrt -'- ' - That guided me over life's sea. Could I know that I'd sleep'twould a joy impart On Hie banks t the uld Genesee. - MISCELLANEOUS. 91 r. II row ns Mishaps. We don't know when we have laughed more heartily than at the following, which we find in an exchange, under tho cap tion of "Mr. Brown's Mishaps:" Mr. Eliphalet Brown was a bachelor of thirty-five or thereabouts ; one of those men who seem born to pass through the world alone ; save this peculiarity, there wns nothing to distinguish Mr, Brown from the multitude of other Browns, who are born, crown up, and die m this world of ours. It chanced thnt Mr. Brown had occasion to visit a town some fifty miles d Mant on matters of business. It wns his first visit to the place, aud he proposed slopping n day, iu order to give himself an opportunity to 'ook about. Walking leisurely across tho street, he was all at once accosted by a child, who ran up to him exclaiming j Father, I want you to buy mo some candy." "Father?" Was it possible that ho, a Whelor, was addressed by this title t I IIj could not thieve it ! "Who were you speuking to, my dear ?" inquired he of the liule girl. "I spoke to you, father," ha id tLe little girl, surprised. "Really," thought Mr. Brown, "this is very embarrassing." I am not your father, my dear," he said, "What is your name V The child laughed heartily, evidently thinking it a good joke. "What a funny father you are." she said, "but ain't you going to buy me some candy ?" "Yes, yes; I'll buy you a round, if you dtiii'l call me father any more," said Brown, nervously. The little girl clapped her hands with delight. The promise was all she re membered. Mr. B. proceeded to a con- The iltle irf carrcJ her hands with ' flehgM, rue promise was all sne re- membered.

"If ynu are not married, I should like to know who I am ?" "I hnvo no doubt you nrc k most re FpeetuMtf ludy," mi id Mr. Drown, "and I conjectured from what you have snid.tliat your name is Jones ; hut mino is Drown, inadnme, and always was." "Melinda," raid her mother, suddenly tak inur the child by the arm, and lending her up to Mr. Drown, "Melinda, who is this gentleman ?" "Why, that's father," wos the child's immediate reply, as confidently the placed her hand in his. "Ypu hear that, Mr. Jones, do you 1 You hear wh"t this innocent child says, and yet you have tho unblushing impu dence to deny that you are my hunband Tho voire of nature speaking; from the child should overwhelm you.

Do you intoud to desert me, sir, and leave inn to the cold chariiies of the world and this is your first step!" , Mrs. Jones was so ovcrcomo, that with out warning she fell back upon the side walk in a fainting fit. Instantly a num ber of persons ran td her assistance. 1. -Mf. Jonosy isyourtwife .tubject'.to fanning ih 'this way I" dsketf heflm comer of Mr. Brown. ' ' i "I don't know. Sho isn't my wife.

I trust you are not -the rauoe of this excitement which must have cx-casioncd your wife's fainting fit. . You had better call a coach and carry her home directly." . Poor B own was dumb-founded. "I wonder," thought he, "whether it is pos sible that I am really Jones, and have gi no crazy, in which 1 fancy that that my name is Brown. And yd don that I am Janet. In t-pite of all, I will iusit that my name is Brown." . "Well, sir, what are you waiting for t It is neces.-ary that your wife bhould be removed. W ill you order a carriage !" Brown saw it was no use to protract the discussion by a denial. He therefore ordered a hackney coach to the spot. Brown accordingly lent an arm to Mrs. Jones, who had somewhat recovered, and was about to close the door upon her. "What! are you not going with her yourself ?" "Why, no ; why should I P "Your wifo should not go alone ; she has hardly recovered." Brown gave a despairing glance at the crowd around him, and deeming it use less to make opposition where so many seemed thoroughly convinced that he was Mr. Jones, followed the lady in.

"Of course," said Mrs. Jones. . "Then " said he, resignedly, "I sup pose I am. But if you will believe mc, I was firmly convinced this morning that my name was Brown, and to tell the truth, I haven't any recollection of this house."

There is no fact more established In the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends its energies and itself durw ng the hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep; if the recuperation does not equal the expendi ture the brain withers this is insanity. Thus it is that in English history, persons wno were condemned to death by being prevented from sleeping, always died ra ving maniacs. Thus it is, also, that per sons who are starved to death, beonrne in sane; tho brain is not nourished, they cannot sleep. The practical inferences are these : First, those wbo think moat. who do most brain work, require most sleep. Second, that time "saved" from the necessary sleep is unfavorably destruc tive to tho mind, body and estate. Third, give yourself, your servants, give all that are under you the fullest amount of sleep uiey wilt uwe, by compelling them to go to bed at suine regular early hour, and te rise in the morning the moment thev awake of themselves, and within a fort night, nature, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, will unloose the bonds of bleep the moment enough has been procu ed for the wants of the system. This is the only safe and sufficient rule; and as to the question how much sleep any one requires, each must be a rule tot him sell; that nature will never fail to write it out to the observer under the regula tions just given.
