A BALLAD.
nr tom noon, IN.

There lived an honest fisherman,
knew him passing we'll
Who dwrft hard by little pond,
Within little dell.
A grave and quiet man was he.
Who how'd his hooks and rod
So eren rsn his line of life,
His neighbors though, il odd.
For science and for books, he said
He never had a wish
No school to him was worth fg,
Except "school Of fish"
All day ths, fisherman would sit,
Upon an sncien, log,
And gaze into the water, like
Some sedentsry frog.
A CUNNING fisherman was he.
His angles all were right
And when he scrsich'd his aged poll,
You'd know bed 90, L.ie.
To charm Ire FISH he never spoke
Although his voice was fine.
He found the most convenient way
Was jus, 20 "drop line"

And jerking-caugh, daGk
Alas, that day the fshermaa

And teing but landsman too
He cOsid'nt keep the tog."
In vain I've strore with all his might,
And tried 10 gsin the shoie-
Down, down, he went. to feed the fish
He'd bsiled oft beiotei
The moral Of this mournful tale
To all is plain and clesF--
A single "drop too much" of rum
May make watery bier.
And he who will no, "sign the pledge"
And keep the promise fast.
