ORIGIN OF THE OLD OAKEN
BUCKET"

We came in possession last week of an an
ecdote respecting the origin Of Samuel F.
Woodworth's famous ballad of that name.
which appears te possess SO much interest.
that cannot withhold it from our readers
especially as it has not before been in print.
Some years ago, when Woodw worth the
printer, and several other 'old New Workers. ,
were brother typos in printing-office. stu
ated at the corner of Chatham ST. and Cham
bers, there were few places in this city where
one could enjoy the luxury of really good
drink" Among the few places most worthy
of patronage. was establishment kept by
Mallors, in Frankfort-street. on or about the
same spot where st. Johns Hall recently
stood. Woodwork in company with several
particular friends, dropped in at this place
one afternoon for the purpose Of partaking of
some brandy and water which Mallory was IA
nous for keeping. The liquor was super
excellent, md Woodwork seemed inspired
by it; for, after taking draught, he set his
glass upon the table, remember. reader if
you please, that in these rare old times"
man rarely met with friend without inviting
him TO imbibe , and smacking his lips, de-
clared that Malory's eau de rie was superior
TO any thing he had ever tasted. NO. said
Mallory. you mistaken; there was one
thing which, IN both our estimations, far sur
passed this in the way Of drinking What
was that!' asked Woodwork, obviously

ment in Woodworth's eye. ,T'rue-true =
he replied. and shortly after quilted the place.
He Immediately returned to his office. threw
down his stick, grasped pen, and in haitian
hour, The Old Oaken Bucket, '-one OF the
most delightful compositions in our language

Now, indeed that Gen. Taylor is in Office.
we too, would hope that his administration
may "redound to the honor and prosperity of
our country. "-Washingtos Union
Judging from the course you have pursued
towards Gen. Taylor ever since the first ap-
pearance of any danger that he W ould be in
strumental in the overthrow of Iocofocoism.
we believe, old gentleman, that you are guilty
OF iaisenood. Should Gen. Taylor exhibit a
greater amount of sagacity and wisdom in the
discharge of the high duties devolving upon
him, than you have given him credit for thro'
the columns of your Union, and should his
administration, after all .'redound to the pros
perlty OF the country" we believe it would
grieve your watchful and patriotic old soul
more than any other result which is likely to
take place.

THIS LIFE.

Life is beautifully compared TO a fountain
fed by n thousand streams. that perish if one
be dried. 1t is n silver cord, twisted with
thousand strings that part asunder if one be
broken. Frail and thoughtless mortals are
surrounded by innumerable dangers which
make it much more strange that they escape
SO long, than that they sometimes perish SO
suddenly at last. We are encompassed with
accidents every day, TO crush the moudering
tenement which we inhabit. The seeds of
disease planted in our constitutions by
nature. The air and atmosphere whence we
draw breath and breathe, are impregnated
with death--heath Is made to operate its own
destruction. The food that nourishes, con-
tains the elements of decay; the soul that
anImates it with revyilying fire, tends TO
wear it out by its own action. Death turks
in ambush along our path. Notwithstanding
this is the truth, SC palpably confirmed by the
daily examples before our eyes, how little do
we lay it to heart. We see our friends and
neighbors perish among US. but how seldom
does it occur in our thoughts, that our knell
shall, perhaps, give the next fruitless warning
to the world.
