number Of Citizens, repaired to the Works. and had
The satisfaction to witness the wheels going in a
mastery style the reservoir at the elevation OF 90
feet, full TO the marginafter The current supply OF
water for the city purposes and this effected by only
two of the eight wheels, which the works are con-
structed eventually to accommodate. Thus the use
of the Steam Engines now suspended, and the
vast annual expense attending them, will, in few
years, render these Water Works source of reyen-
ue to the city funds-in addition to the most ample
supply Of wholesome water, for every purpose,
concentrating one of the most important public
advantages that has ever been produced to this great
City.

Now, reading poetry is much like sailing:
If you've fair weather good; if bad, las LOT,
You'll find il here J all hands must set TO balling
And then you'll turn about, and curse the pilot
Or,-now find mv metaphor IS falling
But then such things to often TALL to my lot,
I'll 90 straight forward for these long variations
Are apt to put most people out OF patience.
ii.
Ladies' and gentlemen be ore we draw
The curtain up, I'd make one observation;
And then we'll go on with the story, for
A verse or two without much deviation.
You must not here expect such splendour, or
Such magick wonder OF bards creation,
AS Mr. Byron has, in his Don Juan:
That's "a fish story;" but mines true one.

had friend we'll call him Sam. And he was
The man, concerning whom mean to tell
Few plain and simple facts His form, dye see, was
Not bad, at all; quite good looking fellow.
This circumstance of no account to me was,
But then he had sister once named Net Tor,
AS the good people here would speak IT'D Emily,
She was, think, the prettiest OF the family
w.
Sans father, in town not Far from here's
Was farmer justice of the peace and wheelwright,
His income was nine hundred say. year.
As the good old man always meant to deal right,
For his sons welfare, he was in some fear;
In truth he owned he did not always feel right,
AS they had no employment, he was thinking,
Some time, or other, they might take to drinking;
v.
And then, twas plain, they both would shortly run
Down in the heel; exactly as my boots do.
The brothers name, for Sam had only one,
Was Ned, or Ed,oard, that better suits you,
Ct choose to speak the word as I've begun,
But please yourselves for nobody disputes youl-
Ned was fine young man; rather thickiy
And strongly built but Sam was weak and sckly
vi
AS hands did better or farm than heads did,
1t was determined there by all the folks
That Sam should go to college, in Ned's stead;
So with his goods and chattels, (such as books,
Some chairs, table, and high cot bedstead j
Wishing good bye to all, with sober looks:
Sam from his friends at length in sorrow parted
Tackled the Wagon, and for college started.
VII.
There our acquaintance first originated,
Twas happy but it was not long enjoyed,
did not dream, the noble youth was ated
To see his farest hopes so destroyed.
Ile was steady fellow and he hated,
de often said, to hear his friends employed
In business much unbecoming Scholars

To take old time by the loreock,

CHAPTER Nv.

Where Sam and Cousin Lacy met at first, I
Do not consider myself bound to state A
Yet still it worst should come unto the worst,
Could place the matter quite beyond debate.
| always like to be exact; and trust,
Can vouch for every fact which | relate;
Though. in this small particular deficient,
IT'S certain, they did meet. and that's sufficient.
Well from this very meeting that spakc OF,
A constant intimacy soon arose,
And this continued till it did partake of
tenderer feeling; as you may suppose.
Some women say they love just for the sake of
Having sweetheart, every body knows
Lncy's seemed real. She appeared 10 sooth,
soul, all kindness, and heart, all truth.
AT length, Sam had letter from his father:
Twas penned with anguish and with anguish read.
II stated that he saw misfortunes gather,
Ready TO burst on his devoted head
His hopes were failing fast; and he had rather
His son were with him, ere those hopes were fled.
Sam babe US all farewell and in the morn,
The noblest fellow that we had was gone.
Nv.
So, with heavy heart he journeyed home:
That home by many happy scene, endeared--
The voice ofjoy and gladness there, was dumb;
For all was realised thai he had feared
He saw that poverty must shortly come,
With all its evils as things, then, appeared,
And cold neglect from neighbors told that by it, he
Must take a lower standing in society.
v.
But still, he had one happy consolation,
One heart at least he thought, would not be changed
One heart, whate'sr his future destination,
Which, by misfortune could not be estranged,
| hat heart, he thong could know no variation.
But, far from truth, poor Sans ideas ranged.
And thus, his own was torn with disappointment;
And thatsa wound which can't the curedwth ointment
| vi.
Twas but month before her willing voice
1 Had pledged herself unto him as his bride.
!" Were all the world" she said, "to be my choice
Thine would be alone,"--( But there she lied.)
:" Delylng time and fate can rejoice,
Through veal or wo, whatever may betde.
Year after year my constancy shall show you"
But now, was "good bye, Sam, hardly know YOU
VII.
Neglect from common friends, who prove disdanfu
Is very disagreeable, be sure.
I, Yet, though in many cases, rather painful,
'Tis like razsr cash not hard to cure.
But, from pretty mistress, or a wife,
Ills like the mangling of an oyster knife.
VIII.
!; Thus, all the hopes broken, which had wount
Themselves, around the very soul of Sam.
His was hopeless case, then, for he found
hat all her protestations were sham.
He shipped on board vessel which was bound
Ito Canton, by the way of Amsterdam,
And soon was waited from his native shore,
And thus ends verse the eighth, of Chapter four.
