"A PATHETIC BALLAD.

In Manchester . maiden dwelt,
Her name was Phoebe Brown;
Her cheeks were red her hair was black,
And she was considered by good
judges TO be by all odds tho best looking
girl in town. .r
Her age was nearly seventeen
Her eyes were sparkling bright
A very lovely girl was She
And for about year and half
there had been young man paying at
tention to her by the name Of Reubin
Wright.
Now Rueben was nice young man
As any in the town;
And Phoebe loved him very dear
But on account of his being obliged
to work for living, he never could make
himself agreeable to cid Mr.. and Mrs
Brown.
Her parents were resolved
Another she should wed;
A rich old miser in the place
And old Brown frequently declared
that rather than have his daughter marry
Reuben Wright, he'd sooner knock him
on the head.
But Phebe's heart was brave and strong
She feared not parents frowns;
And rs for Reuben Wright so bold,
I've heard him say more than fifty
times that with the exception Of PhGbe)
no didn't care d--n for the whole race
Of Browns.
So Phoebe Brown and Reuben Wright,
Determined they should marry;
Three weeks ago last Thursday night
They started for old Parson Web
sters, determined to be united in the holy
bonds Of matrimony, though il was tre-
mendous dark and raiped like the very
Old Harry.
But Captain Brown wac wide awake;
He loaded up his gun,
And then pursued the loving pair:
He overlook 'em when they'd got
about halfway to the Parsons, and then
Reuben and Phoebe started of upon the
run.
Old Brown then took deadly aim
Towards young Reuben's head;
Bnt, oh! it was bleeding shame,
He made q mistake and shot his on
ly daughter and had the unspeakable an
guish Of seeing her drop right down stone
dead.
Then anguish fiIrd young Reubcn's heart
And vengeance cra1ed his brain;
BE drew an awful jack knife out,
And plunged it into old Brown some
fifty or sixty times, so that il is very doubt
full about his ever coming to life again.
The briny drops from Rueben's eyes,
In torrents poured down:
He yielded up the ghost and died
And this melancholy and heart-ren-
ding matter terminates the history Of Reu-
ben and Phoebe, and likewise of old Cap
tain Brown.
