The nIiner,s Lament.

"a song similar to the following has been in
circulation for some time among the miners of
the North. We have taken the liberty Of touch
ing it up little, and in its amended state pre-
sent it to our readers:l
1 am going Tar away from my creditors just
now,
For I've got no dust to pay them, and they're
Kicking up a row;
There's no chance for speculation, and the mines
amt worth ID,
Chorus-And I've never been so lucky
As to work for Uncle SAM
(Repeat the chorus
There's J-k TT swearing vengeance, and
he says he'll give me fits,
While the Sheriff is hard after me, with pocket
full of writs
And every time / make turn I m snre TO meet
dun,
So think the best Thing can Go
Is for to cut and rum
When / came up TO the mnes-when turned
the mountain streams,
] had credit-who had not ION our glorious
golden dreams;
But when we got it finished, oh it proved to
be a sham,
And we that damned the rivers
BY our creditors were ID.
Now I'm going far away. but don't know
] dare not homeward turn my steps-they' d
laugh at me | know,
For told them when left them l was bound
10 make pile,
But il they could only sec me now,
rather think they'd SMILE

There is dew for the flow'ret,
And honey for the bee.
And bowers for the wild bird,
And love for you and me!
There are tears for the many,
And pleasures for the few;
But let the world pass on, dear,
There's love for me and you.
There's care that will not leave US,
And pain that will not fee;
But in our hearts unaltered
Sits love tween you and me.
Our love, it meier was reckoned,
Yet good it is, and true;

It's all the world to you!
