ORIGIN OF THE OLD OAKD BUCKET.

ORIGIN OF THE OLD OAK0 BUcKEr.-
We came in possession last week: of an
anecdote respecting the origin of Samuel
Wordsworth's famous ballad of that name,
which appears to us to possess so much
interest, that we cannot withhold il from
our ENTHUSIASTICALLY as 1t has not be.
fore been in print.
Some seven years ago, when Words

"Old New Yorkers,' were brother typos
in printing office, at the corner of
Chatham street and Chambers, there were
very few places i'll this city where one
could enjoy the luxury of "a good drink
Among the few places most worthy of
patronage, was an establishment kept by
Mallory in Frankfo fort street. on or about
the same spot where Saint Johns Hall
recently stood Wordsworth, in con:pa-
ny with several particular friends, had
"dropped in at this place one afternoon.
for the purpose of taking ''brandy and
water . which Mallory was famous for
keeping. The liquor was super excel
lent Wordsworth seemed inspired by it;
for, taking draught, he put his glass up
on the table, remember, dear reader, if
you please, that IN these 'rare old times
man rarely met friend without invt
ing him to imblbe.) and smacking his lips,
declared that MaIlory's emu de ric was su-
perior to any thing that he had ever last

"No," SAID Mallory "you are mistaken;
there was one thing which, in both our
estimations far surpasses this in the way
of drinking"
sWhat was that" asked Wordsworth,
obviously.
errhe draught ofpure fresh spring wa
ter that we used 10 drink from he old
oaken bucket that hung in the we'll, after
our return from the labor of the field on a
su.try day in summer"
The tear drop glistened, for moment,
in Wordsworth's eye. "True-true''
he replied; and soon after quilted the
place. He Immediately returned to the
office, threw down his stick, grasped the
pen; and in half an hour, "The old Oak

compositions in our language, was ready
