THE GENESEE. 
E T F. I.. WADDELL. 
• Fair Avon, Egypt of tbe West, 
The Cornucopia of our clime ! 
Gay vale, with bounteous beauty b'est— 
Oak Openings, grain crowned hills sublime. 
Oft Memory, pilgrim of the heart, 
In secret trips shall visit thee, 
And from her wells of feeling start 
Sighs for tby scenes, bright Genesee. 
The witchery of thy summer even, 
Lulling to raptnre of repose 
The impassioned spirit, as the heaven 
Its gorgeous sunset glory glows. 
The enchantment Nature always brings, 
In her luxuriance of glee, 
Sweet to the soul her dream bell rings, 
In thy clear wavelets, Genesee. 
There Wadsworth’s lovely Ceres dwells : 
In waning moonlight’s haunted hour, 
Fays, stealing from their weird leaf cells, 
Homage the gentle valley flower. 
The Coliseum of their Rome, 
They cluster on the old oak tree_ 
For elfin sprites mysterious roam 
In fairy realm of Genesee, 
Gay garden of the blooming zone— 
Rose of the forest girdled land, 
Where enterprise first reared her throne. 
The plowshare scepter in her hand— 
Her court the vast flocks on the hills, 
Nobler than monarch crowned to be, 
Wilderness pioneer, who tills 
Thy smiling Eden, Genesee. 
In mystic Midnight’s solemn round, 
By mammoth oak of nameless years, 
On cloud of Fate from Indian mound, 
Ghost of a mighty race appears. 
Murmurs the Oracle of Doom, 
Century girdled Prophet Tree, 
Still do I guard thy Nation’s tomb— 
Sleep, Spectre of the Genesee. 
Sad Rachel of the forest race ! 
Tho’ thy red children passed away— 
Vale of lost tribes—the true pale face 
Reveres in heart thy ancient sway, 
While Fancy peoples once again— 
With warrior kings in battle glee, 
When Romance holds her magic reign— 
Thy lovely valley, Genesee.

TEST OF COURAGE; 
OB, TRUE AND FALSE HEROISM. 
BY EDWARD WEBSTER, ESQ. 
“ If he declines the challenge, I will never 
speak to him 8 gain !” exclaimed a handsome 
and well-dressed daughter of the chivalrous 
State of Kentucky; “ I will never again re¬ 
cognize the poltroon as an acquaintance, even 
if I should meet him face to face, or be other¬ 
wise than oblivions of his presence !” and she 
patted her pretty foot angrily upon the foot¬ 
stool, while an excited flush mounted to her 
cheek and temples. 
“ But he has declined it already,” respond¬ 
ed her companion; “ so rumor says, and the 
challenger posts him in the streets to-mcrrow 
as a coward. I am inclined to think, howev¬ 
er, that Wilson is justifiable in refusing to 
fight, the bloody code of the duelist to the 
contrary notwithstanding; and so far from 
this course evincirg cowardice on his part, it 
is to my mind a proof of transcendant cour¬ 
age, in thus dariDg to act up to his convic 
tions of duty in the face of a strong, although 
a perverted public sentiment. This relic of a 
barbaric age, which is so pertinaciously cluDg 
to in some of our Southern States, has here¬ 
tofore sacrificed far too many of our noblest 
men. Fathers, husbands, and lovers, have 
time and again been made its victims, and 
thus blighted many a woman’s heart and 
hopes ; so that any man, who dares to stand 
up in defiance of its mandates, deserves the 
adoration of our sex rather than its frown.” 
“ Such sentiments will answer to grace the 
sermon of a Methodist preacher, but will never 
do for a daughter of Kentucky,” rejoined the 
other ; “ you may theorize in this way, stand¬ 
ing indifferent, but place him in the list of 
your admirers, and my word for it, such a de¬ 
cision would be death to all his hopes of fu¬ 
ture favor.” 
“ Quite the contrary, I assure you solemnly. 
I am not fortunate enough to possess the 
qualifications to attract a list of admirers, but 
if I did, and reckoned such an one among 
them, he would be singled out as worthy of 
especial honor ; for rest assured, until woman 
frowns upon the duelist, instead of welcoming 
him with smiles, this terrible ordeal of a gen¬ 
tleman will never be done away. We are not 
called to the halls of legislation, or to other 
stations of political or civil trust; but we 
are potent in directing public sentiment, and 
we have in this, as in many other matters, 
weighty and solemn responsibilities to answer 
for to God and our country.” 
On what grounds,” inquired the first 
speaker, “ can you justify Wilson in declining 
to follow the example of such men as a Deca- 
tub, a Hamilton, a Jackson, and a Clay? 
illustrious men, both of the North and of the 
South ; men whom their constituents delight¬ 
ed to honor, and whose names and deeds are 
inseparably interwoven with the history of 
their country. Are they not men to be ad¬ 
mired and imitated ?” 
“ In many things they are—in some things 
they are not; and this matter of giving iu 
their adhesion to the code of the duelist, is one 
of the few dark spots on the escutcheon of 
their fame. Two of them fell by the hand of 
their antagonists, at the period of their great¬ 
est usefulness, thereby depriving their country 
of their services in a critical moment of her 
history, aid bringing into their own house¬ 
holds desolation and despair. Another of 
them sent a fellow being to an untimely grave 
under similar circumstances, and the fourth 
failed from imbruing his bands in the blood 
of a distinguished countryman only from un¬ 
steadiness of aim. There are, it is true, apol¬ 
ogies for these men connected with the day 
and the occasions, which have no weight un¬ 
der the light of our own times ; and there are 
very many reasons, both general and special, 
why Wilson, in this particular, should set a 
nobler examp’e to his fellow men than even 
these honored countrymen of ours. He is a 
member of an evangelical church, and profess¬ 
es that dectrine which teaches peace on earth 
and good will to men ; he is an instructor of 
youth, and bound to instil into their minds 
right views of life ; and besides, he has given 
no just cause for the mortal enmity of his an¬ 
tagonist. He cannot justify himself in seek¬ 
ing the other’s life, neither can he see any 
good reason why he should peril his own. 
But the special objections to accepting the 
challenge are even more potent in his case. 
A widowed mother and a young sister are de¬ 
pendant upon him for support. lie is the 
only guardian and protector of the one, and 
the only hope and stay of the other. There 
would be nothing left for them either to live 
upon or for, if he should be removed, and even 
the insurance of a thousand dollars, which he 
has just effected upon his life in their behalf, 
would be forfeited in the event of such a death. 
These considerations are quite sufficient to 
justify his course, aDd will bear him out in 
the good opinion of the community, however 
much odium may be cast upon him now.” 
Henry Wilson, whose conduct and charac¬ 
ter were under consideration by the two 
young ladies, was the graduate o an Eastern 
College, and had taken up his residence in one 
of the cities of Kentucky, where he held the 
position of Principal in an Academy. As 
may be inferred from the remarks cf his fair 
defender, he was above reproach. Quiet and 
unobtrusive in his manners, meddling in no 
way with the peculiar institutions and politi¬ 
cal affairs of the community in w’hich for a 
season he had taken up his abode, and pursu¬ 
ing a zealous and earnest course in the line of 
his profession with marked success, he very 
soon won the good opinion and friendship'of 
the generous and warm-hearted citizens. No 
one would suppose that he would be likely to 
raise up enemies, or call down upon his head 
the personal hostility of any man ; but having 
occasion to discipline one of his pupils for 
flagrant and repeated misdemeanors, he gave 
mortal offence to that young scion of a proud 
and haughty family, and all his house. An 
older brother took up the quarrel, and de¬ 
spatched a friend as the bearer of a challenge 
to the offending party. 
Horace Somers, for that was the name of 
the challenger, was a student at law in the 
office of a celebrated counsellor of the city, 
and was connected with many of the most in¬ 
fluential families of the State. Of fine per¬ 
sonal appearance, generous and talented by 
nature, his prospects in life were of the most 
flattering character, had there not been coun¬ 
terbalancing defects, which darkened all the 
promise of his manhood. He was impulsive 
and reckless, and had fallen into somewhat 
dissolute habits and associations ; although 
his position in society, and his pride of char¬ 
acter, induced him to conceal the mest repul¬ 
sive features from the public eye. But the 
sting of the serpent was in his heart, and was 
slowly but surely diffusing its rankling poison 
through his veins. Gambling and dissipation 
in their incipient stages, and under the gilding 
of fashionable drinkiDg-houses and gay sa¬ 
loons, were preparing to undermine his physi¬ 
cal health, and sap the foundations of his 
moral integrity. 
The first overt aets deserving of censure, 
were his challenge of Wilson, and on his re¬ 
fusal to fight, the posting of his name at the 
street corners as a coward. These failing to 
provoke the latter to a combat, he visited the 
school-room with the avowed intention of 
meting out *to him personal chastisement; but 
failed in doirig so—some said out of considera¬ 
tion for Wilson’s stalwart limbs, and dignified 
and fearless demeanor under the threat of its 
infliction. A system of petty annoyances was 
then instituted, in order to bring him into 
contempt, and render his stay in the city as 
unpleasant as possible. The would-be leaders 
of the ton passed him contemptuously in the 
street, and slighted him in company. He was 
too well bred, however, to resent anything 
short of a positive insult, and there were not 
wanting warm-hearted friends in high posi¬ 
tions who espoused his cause and defended his 
honor. So that in the end the affair was in 
no way discreditable to his standing or char 
racter. 
There was one circumstance, however, con- 
neeUd with the affair, that caused him in se¬ 
cret not a little chagrin and sorrow. Miss 
Benson, the beautiful and accomplished girl 
whose remarks upon the subject introduces 
our story, was a person ft r whose good opin¬ 
ion he entertained the most sincere regard 
He had been led to believe, and not unjustly 
that she looked upon him with considerable 
favor ; and in more than one day-dream of 
‘uture happiness in life, had he woven her 
image into its brightest tissues. Somers and 
himsqlf had heretofore seemed to divide her 
choice, and it was difficult even for them to 
tell which of the two was to,be selected as the 
special object of regard. The chagrin she 
felt, however, at what she mistakingly cob 
sidered a want of spirit on the part of Wil¬ 
son in the matter of the duel, weighed the 
scale heavily and irrevocably ag&mst him. 
Meeting one evening soon after at a party, 
she declined his company for a promenade on 
some flimsy pretext, and a few moments after 
was observed by him walking and chattin 
gaiiy with his rival. It is no disparagement 
to Wilson’s manliness to say it cut him to 
the heart ; tut strong in the integrity of his 
purposes, he smothered the sorrowful feelings 
within his own breast, and set to work at 
once to eradicate tbe feeder passion which he 
now found was taking deeper root than he 
had imegined in his own bosom. From that 
time forward he met Miss Benson only as the 
most formal acquaintance; but however un¬ 
accountably it may appear, he became inti¬ 
mate with the ft male friend who had so elo 
quent y defended his course on a previous oc. 
casion. He was charmed with her refinement 
of meoLer and nobility of sentiment; and as 
a mutual confidence grew up between them, 
founded upon a true sympathy of thought and 
feeling, he broached the subject of his difficul¬ 
ty with Somers, and was gratified beyond 
measure to find that his course met with her 
most unqualified admiration and approval, 
lie took fresh courage from these praises of a 
true and Doble-hear ted womaD, and henceforth 
faltered in his line of duty never more ! 
Ellen IIocghton was a girl every way 
worthy of his love ; elegant and pleasing but 
not beautiful in person, and lady-like in man¬ 
ners, she joined to an accomplished mind all 
the graces of a pure and gentle heart. She 
was capable of looking deeper than mere out¬ 
ward actions ; she stud.ed the motives of men, 
and hence weighed them in a juster scale._ 
She felt far more deeply than she expressed, 
the most profound admiration for Wilson’s 
moral courage and nobility of soul. As was 
natural under such circumstances, the friend¬ 
ship which grew up between them ripened into 
love, and iu due time resulted in a matrimonial 
engagement. Miss Benson strove earnestly 
to dissuade her from the connection. She 
stigmatized W ilson as a mean spirited wretch, 
who would submit to insult and abase from 
men, while at the same time he would tyran¬ 
nize over school boys and children. Miss 
Houghton defended her lover with earnestness, 
and repelled the charges with indignation. 
“ Your favorite, Somers,” she said, is as 
much below him in every trait of honorable 
manhood, as earth is below the heavens!_ 
You stigmatize moral courage as cowardice 
and magnanimity of scul as pusillanimity; but 
the time may come when you will do justice 
to my choice, and acknowledge that physical 
courage even, is not wanting.” But her friend 
failed to be convinced, and persisted in regard¬ 
ing Wilson with contempt, while at the same 
time 6he looked upon the other as the embod¬ 
iment cf every virtue that was chivalrous and 
noble. As a consequence she favored his suit, 
listened to his words of honeyed flattery_ 
and married him of course. Ellen Hough¬ 
ton in due time also became Mrs. Wilson, 
and from that hour the intimacy between them 
ended. 
Somers was admitted to the bar and com¬ 
menced practice in the city; Wilson was 
elected to a professorship in the College of a 
neighboring State, and soon after removed to 
the field of his more extended duties.

Safety of Silence.— I beg of you to take 
to heart one maxim, which for myself I have 
ever observed, and ever shall—it is never to 
say more than is necessary. The unspoken 
word never does harm ; what is once uttered 
can never be recalled, and no man can foresee 
its consequences — Kossuth.

A YOUNG TOBACCO CHEWER CURED. 
On board ship, one day, we were stowing 
away the hammocks, when one of the boys 
came with his hammock on his shoulder, and 
as he passed, the first lieutenant perceived that 
he had a quid of tobacco in his mouth. 
“ What have you got there ?” as’ed the 
lieutenant, 11 a gum-boil ? Your cheek 
much swollen.” “ No, sir,” replied the boy 
“ there’s nothing at all the matter.” “ O I 
there must be ; perhaps it is a bad tooth.— 
Open your mouth and let me see.” 
Very reluctantly the boy opened his month, 
which contained a large ro’l of tobacco-leaf. 
“ I see, I see,” said the lieutenant, “ poor fel¬ 
low ! how you must suffer! Your mouth 
wants overhauling, and your teeth cleaning. 
I wish we had a dentist on board ; but, as we 
have not, I will operate as well as I can.— 
Send the armorer up here with his toDgs.”— 
When the armorer made his appearance with 
his big tongs, the boy was compelled to open 
his mouth, while the tobacc > was extracted 
with this rough instrument. 
“ There now ! ’ said the lieutenant, “ I’m 
sure that you must feel better already. You 
never, could have any appetite with such 
stuff iu your mouth. Now, captain of the 
after-guard, bring a piece of old canvass and 
some sand, and clean his teeth nicely.” 
The captain of the after-guard came for 
ward, and, grinning from ear to ear, put the 
boy’s head between his knees, and scrubbed 
his teeth well with canvass and sand for two 
or three minutes. 
“ lhere, that will do,” said the lieutenant, 
“.Now, my little fellow, take some water and 
rinse out your mouth, and you will enjoy your 
breakfast. It was impossible for you to have 
eaten anything with jour mouth in such a 
filthy condition. When yon are troubled in 
the same way again, come to me and I will 
be your dentist.” The lad was completely 
cured, by the ridicule of this occurrence, of 
the habit of tobacco-chewing .—Captain Mar 
ryalt. 
Romantic. — The following tbrillicg ex¬ 
tract is taken from an unpublished romance : 
“ Listen to me, Gaspardo, do. When first 
I met the lady Arabella in the brilliant sa¬ 
loon of the Count de Pompereptno, I was 
struck with the spiritual lustre of her dove- 
like eyes. In short, my friend, I loved her, 
although I knew nothing of her birth, fortune, 
or station. Twas one moonlight eve, in the 
garden of the old chateau, when I pressed her 
to become my own, my cherished bride. She 
shrank from me, saying : 
“ Thou knowest not whom I am.” 
“ I care not,” said I, passionately. 
“ Then I do !” cried she in a piercing tone. 
“ I am your unknown washerwoman, and I’d 
thank you to pay me. for the six pieces I 
washed for you last week.” 
“ Gaspardo, I left for ever the sunny clime 
of Italy, a broken hearted man.” 
A Fair Retort. —A very loquacious fe¬ 
male witness, whom the opposing counsel could 
not silence, so far kept him at bay, that, by 
way of brow-beating her, he exclaimed, “ Why, 
woman, there 13 brass enough iu your face to 
make a kettle !” “ And sauce enough in yours 
to fill it,” she promptly rejoined.

in a letter from a brother quill, wanted to

of scratching his head while writing?
