POETRY.
tJeneaee Itlvcr.
BY MRS.
DEMINO,
Flow on, gentle river. 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. -

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-

only tended to incrcaso Mr. Urown'a em

I never was married." '
"And do yon intend to palm this off

like to know who I am ?"

"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

Tho voire of nature speaking; from the
child should overwhelm you. I'd like to

"You did, did yout Bribe your own
child not to call you father ? Oh, Mr.
Jones ! 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.

mered Brown. ,
"Why, it's Mrs. Jones, ain't it H
"Yes", but I ain't Mr. Jones."
"8ir," said the first epcakor, sternly,
"this is no time to iet. 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.

"No. 19, II r street," said the

contemptuously at Mr. Hrown.
"Will you help roe out. Mr. Jones ?'
raid the lady. "Iain not fully recovered

Sleep. .
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.
