NIr. Browns Mishaps.

We don't know when we have laughed
more heartily than at the following, which
we find in an exchange, under the cap
ton Of "Mr Browns Mishaps:"
Mr.. Eliphaet Brown was a bachelor
of thirty-fve or thereabouts; one of those
men who seem born to pass through the
world alone; save this peculiarly, there
was nothing to distinguish Mr.. Brown
from the multitude Of other Browns, who
are born, grown up, and die in this world
of ours. 1t chanced that Mr.. Brown had
occasion to visit town some fifty miles
distant on matters of business. 1t was his
first visit to the place, and he proposed
stopping day, in order to give himself
an opportunity to 'ook about. Walking
eisurely across the street. he was all at
once accosted by a child, who ran up to
him exclaimng - F'-
Father, want you to buy me some
candy"
"Father?' Was it possible that he, a
bachelor. was addressed by this title ?
He could not believe it,
"Who were you speaking to. my dear r.
inquired he of the liule girl.
Il spoke 10 you, father" said the little
girl, surprised.
Really" thought Mr.. Brown, ''ihis is
very embarrassing" | am not your
father, my DEAR" he said. "What is

The child laughed heartily, evidently
thinking IL a good Joke. "What funny

| The little girl clapped her hands with
delight. The promise was all she re.
membered. Mr.. b. proceeded to a con.
fectionary store, where he actually bough
a pound of candy. which he placed in the
hands Of the little girl. In coming out Of
the store they encountered the child''

EAsrERS SwoRDs.--There have been
some curious features connected with the
sword manufacture in early times. The
Damascus blades, and the Toledo blades,
have each in It's own particular sphere ac-
quired great fame for their excellence;
the keenness Of the edge and the exten.
sive and perfect elasticity having been
carried in them to the utmost point. We
have all read of Orieeials wearing their
swords twisted round their waists, or even
coiled up in their turbans, so great was
their elasticity; and swords have been
made so keen as to cut a silk shawl in
two, while resting lightly upon the edge.
Such. at least, have been the reported
wonders; bu, the Easterns may probably
in ttis, as in many olhef matters, esabei.
liSh their stories little.

Sleep.

There is no fact more established in
the physiology Of man than this, that the
brain expends its energies and itself Dur
ing the hours of wakefulness, and that
these are recuperated during sleep; if the
recuperaiion does not equal the expendi.
ture the brain withers-this is insanity.
Thus it is that in English history, persons
who were condemned to death by being
prevented from sleeping, always died ra-
wing maniacs. Thus Il is, also, that per-
sons who are starved to death, become In
sane; the brain is not nourished, they
cannot sleep. The practical inferences
are these First, those who think most,
who do most brain work, require most
sleep. Second, that time 'saved" from
the necessary sleep is unfavorably des,rac-
tive to the mind, body and estate. Third,
give yourself, your servants, give all that
are under you the fullest amount of sleep
they will take, by compelling them TO go
to bed at some regular early hour, and 10
rise in the morning the moment they
awake Of themselves, and within fort
night, nature, with almost the regularity
of the rising sun, will unloose the bonds
Of sleep 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 rule for him.
self; that nature will never fail TO write
il out to the observer under the regula-
tons just given Journal Of Health.

Have gaZed on each bright, laughing wave as

Till II threw DER my soul, In magical spell,

o, proud flowing river! how graceful you wind
BY mountain through valley and dell;
The mem'ries of childhood are round thee

Like garlands in hopes fairy cell.
The happiest hours my soul ever knew,
In life's brightest sunshine or shade,
Are hours that memory Oft brings TO my view,
When by thy sweet waters | strayed.
The soft, smiling ripples that steal o'er your
face,
Are like bushes from maiden divine;
On your bosom a trembling emotion Pve

As YOU sighed at the kiss of the wind.
The sweet gushing music your light waves
impart,
In my bosom happiness wakes;
Like blessings from heaven, fall sweet on my

As you murmuring now 10 the lake.

But in hours Of pleasure and mirth,
Wherever my pathway my be,

birth,
On the banks of the old Genesee.
Flow on, lovely river, the theme OF my lays,
And oft in the poets wild dreams
Ye will come as a vision of happier days,
To cheer ber lope heart with your beams.

was quite delighted to think that nfter all
he was not Mr.. Jones, with wife ard
child to boot. Mr.. Brown has not since
visited he place where the COMEDY of
Errors happened. He was afraid of
losing his identity.
II was fortunate thing, perhaps, for
Mr.. Jones that he happened to be OF

THE suGAR TRADE.

The fall in the value Of sugar and nolssses has
been great within few weeks past The losses on the
stocks on hand must have been many millions Of dol
lars to dealers in this country, and much more to
foreign holders. The Boston Traveller says:
The decline from the highest point is now over 3
cents pound, and there is strong probability that
bottom is not yet half reached. When the decline
had reached only one half the present amount, few
weeks since. the New York Independent estimated
that the stock Of 81 900 tons Of sugar and four
million gallons OF molsssess held in that port alone,
lars or course it must be double thar now, and il
this loss is made on that stored in New York alone,
what must be the quantity soat ir store in
Europe and in the United States. and the stocks on
hand in the sugar exporting countries 1t cannot be
less than City millions of dollars already, and as the
tendency is steadily downward it will probably reach
hundred millions before the dealers will be able to
touch the next crop.
