Reuben and PhOebe--A Pathetic Ballad.
BY MR.. H. X. BLIFKINs.


The following is from some exchange pa
per. We would go five miles to shake hands
with the author.-Ed. of the esprit Of the
Times"
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 the best looking gilr
in the town.
Her age was nearly seventeen;
Her eyes were sparkling brghtj
A very lovely girl was She
And for about year and half there had
been a young man paying attention to
her, by the name of Reuben Wright.
Now Reuben 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 a living, he never could make
himself agreeable to old 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 as for Reuben Wright so bold,
I've heard him say more than fifty times
that with the exception of Phebe) hi
didn't care a cuss for the whole race o
Browns.
So Phoebe Brown and Reuben Wright
Determined they should marry;
Three weeks ago last Tuesday night
They started for old Parson Webster's de
termined to be united in the holy bond
of matrimory, though it was tremend
Gus dark and rained like the Old Har
ry.
But Captain Brown was wide awake;
He loaded up his gun,
And then pursued the loving pair;
He overlook EN- when they'd got abou
half way to the Parsons S, and then Reu
ben and Phoebe started off upon tn
E run.
Old Brown then took a deadly aim
Towards young Reut ems head;
But, oh! it was a bleeding shame,
He made mistake and shot his onl
r daughter, and had the unspeakable al
gush of seeing her drop right dow
+ stone dead.
[ Then anguish filed young Reuben's heart,
. And vengeance crazed his brain;
! He drew an awful jack-knife out;
And plunged it into old Brown about fit
or sixty times, so that it is very drub
I full about his ever coming to again.
= The briny drops from Reuben's eyes,
r In torrents poured down;
t He yielded up the ghost and died
i And this melancholy and heart-rendin
: matter terminates the history of Reube
d and Phoebe, and likewise of old Ca
: tain Brown.
