THE FUNNY CORNER
TO A.W ABSENT WIFE.
BT GEORGE D. PRXSTICE.
'TU morn the sea breeze seems to bring
Joy, health and freslmee on its wing;
Bright fiewers,to i all strange and new,
Are glittering in Se early dew ;
And perfumes rise from every grove
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spiriis o'er yon welkin clear
Bat I am sad then art not hare.
'Tia morn a calm, nnbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep ;
A soft haze, like a fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream,
And many a broad magnolia flower
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is gleaming like a lovely star
But I am sad thou art alar.
'Tia eve o'er earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyea ;
The stars come down, and trembling, gluw,
Like sea-gems in the waves below ;
And like some unseen spirit, the breeze,
Seems lingering 'mid the orange trees,
Brothiag its. music round the spot
But I am saa I see thee not.
'Tis midnight with a soothing spell
The far tones of the ocean swell.
Soft as a mother's cadence, mild.
Low, breathing o'er het sleeping child ;
And on aach wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the mocking bird,
In many a wild and wondrous lay
But I am sad thou art away.
I sink in dreams soft, sweet and clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear ;
Around my cheek thy trasses twine.
Thy own loved hand is clasped ia mine;
Tby own soft lis to mi ue is pressed ;
My head ia pillowed ou thy breast ;
Oh. I hare all ray heart holds dear,
And I am happy thou art here !

Grammar Lesson
Teacher "Class in grammar, take
your places. John, parse Vallandig
ham.''
John " Vallandigham is a noun
Bob " Hain't Tfuther. He's a traitor.
Teacher "You're right, Bob, but let
John do his own parsing. Go on."
John " Common noun- -"
Teacher No, proper."
John " No, tain't; nothing proper
about him. Common noun, because it
is the name of a thing."
Teacher " Fire ahead."
John " Nominative case (nominated
by a set of hard cases, called Copper
heads) governed by Jeff. Davis, under
stood." Teacher " What person is he?"
John "A mitrhtv
mean person, spo
of Ohio), and the
ken of (for Governor
very last person that
ought to be elect-
ed.
Teacher ' What ia his number?'
John "There's only one of him,
thank God. Had he rived in the days of
B. Arnold, there would have been two of
them, which wouldn't have been n.t all
singular."
Teacher " Do nouns ever have
moods?"
John " This one has, and it is a very
bad one, though nothing to what it will
be after the election."
Teacher' Well done, Johnny, you
can go out and play with the contra
bands." Sik William Dayexaxt, the poet, who
had no nose, was going along the Mews
one day; a beggar woman followed him,
crying:
"Ah, heaven preserve your eyesight,
sir; the Lord preserve your eyesight !
" ny god woman," said he. " do
you pray so much for my eyesight? "
"Ah, dear sir," answered the woman,
" If you shonld grow dimsighted, you
have no place to hang your spectacles
on!"
On the day of an eclipse, when all the
inhabitants of Paris were without doors,
provided with telescopes and pieces of
smoked glass, an Englishman was seen
driving furiously in a fiacre along on e
of the principal streets.
Where does my Lord wish to go? "
said the driver.
" To see the eclipse," said the English
man, thrusting his head out of the coach
window; "only drive up to it as near as
possible, for I am short sighted."
My dear doctor," said Sir Erin Co
bragh, " it's no use your giving me an
emetic; I tried it twice in Dublin, and it
woman t stay on my stomach five min
utes! "

The river had risen about two inches
in the "24 boats up to 5 o'clock last even
ing at this point, but was falling at Cin
c'mniiti. The weather is again dry and warm,
and the faint hopes of a rise entertained
for the last few days are dissipated.
The Colossus arrived late Wednesday
evening, and returned to Louisville that
night.
Tbe Cordelia Ann came in from Bow
ling Green and returned last evening
with all the freight she could carry. Her
officers report Green Jiiver rising above
the locks but falling below.
The Huntsman arrived from Cairo
early yesterday morning. She will go
out to-day at noon, and shippers and pas
senger will find it to their advantage -to
be ready and on hajid at an early hour
Oapf. Dexter commands in person, with
Fred, ilnston in the office, and passen
gers neied no otlier inducement to go
aboard.
The Chambers and the D. B. Campbell
are maintaining their trips hence to
Henderson. The Chambers seems to
carry all the freight, but the Campbell
takes aud brings the passengers. The
Campbell's passenger accommodations
are unsurpassable.
The Delaware arrived from and re
turned to Louisville yesterday morning.
The favorite "John Thomas" Mc
Combs. may be expected here this morn
ing from Louisville. Her accommoda
tions are very superior.
We clip the following from the Louis
ville Journal of yesterday:
Ihe river at this point was stationary
last night, with 2 feet 5 inches in the
canal. Over Portland bar there are 3J
feet; 30 inches at French Island; 3 feet
at Flint Island and Scurlletown, and 30
inches at Cumberland Island and the
Sisters.
We have reports of a slight rise in the
Kentucky and Wabash rivers. We also
learn that all the small tributaries hence
to Evansville have risen from 2 to 3 feet.
Up to 10 o'clock last night we had re
ceived no reports from the Upper Ohio.
The Des Arc has abandoned her trip
to Memphis, Captain King being afraid
to risk the water.
j ' The great Atlantic is doing a large
business as one of the regular Lnited
States mail packets between Vieksburg
and New Orleans. She is the fleetest
boat running into New Orleans. Capt.
Harry McDougal commands her, with
Mr. Edward Ford in the office.
Three or four small paper boxes, each
containing several pounds of powder,
were discovered among the coal before
the furnace doors of the Belle Memphis
on'her last trip up to Cairo. One of the
firemen was in the act of shoveling one
of the boxes into the furnace along with
coal, when he accidently noticed the
package. Had one of them been thrown
in, the explosion would have scattered
the fire from the furnace in such a man
ner that it would have been impossible to
have saved the boat from burning up.
The Henry Chouteau has been charter
ed by the Government for twelve months,
" or during the war," the Government
having the right to purchase her at any
time during the contiauance of the
charter at $25,000.
We understand that an attempt at mu
tiny occurred on board the steamer
Mars,Jjelow Memphis, at an early hour
last Saturday. No damage was done,
aud the result was the arrest of the per
sons inciting tbe riot.
The Natchez Courier of the 7th says:
We hpve no change to report in the
condition of the Mississippi at his point.
It is still at a stand. We have no late
news from the lower country streams.
The Red, Ouachita, Arkansas, White
and Yazoo rivers are of but little use to
our people at present, and will not be, in
all probability, until peaca spreads her
goidenwings over our distracted country.
-' In a trial of sneed. made lasL week
' - i
between those swift steamers the Liberty
No. 2 and City of Alton, from Memphis
to Cairo, the Liberty No. 2 beat her
competitor handsomely. The City of
Alton has heretofore ranked as the fleet
est boat on the lower Mississippi. The
Liberty No. 2 is now entitled to the
horns.
The New Albany Ledger speaks our
feelings in the following reference to one
of our most enterprising steamboat
men: Capt J. B. Archer, of the Archer Line
of steamers, was in town yesterday, and
gave us a glimpse of his smiling counte
nance. It is hardly necessary to say
that any line with which he is connected
must of necessity be well conducted and
popular.
The Nashville Press, of yesterday,
says:
The river yesterday showed indicaj
tions of arise, but up to night the change
was hardly perceptible. The weather
was again cloudy, rainy, and disagreea
ble. The McCombs, Capt. Ballard, re-en
tered the Henderson trade yesterday.
Capt. Gilmore will soon be out with
his elegant Ella Faber.
The launch of the Tarascon has been
postponed until Saturday afternoon
next.
