The New York Sunday Age relates TIE
origin Of this famous ballad, written, it
seems by Samuel B. Woodwork, when
joarneyman printer, in an Office situated
at the corner of Chatham and Chambers
street, New York Near by, in Frankfort
street, wasa drinking shop, kept by man
named Mallory, where Woodwork and
several particular friends used to resort
One afternoon the liquor was super-ex-
eellent. Woodworth seemed inspired by
it; for after taking a draught, lie set bis
glass upon the table, and Smackng his lips,
declared that Mallory's eau devie was SUI
perisr 10 anything he had ever tasted.
NO." said Mallory, "you are mistaken;
there was one which in both our estima-
ton far surpassed this in the way of drink
ing"
"What was that" asked Woodwork,
dubiossly.
The draughts Of pure, fresh spring wa
ter, that we used 10 drink from the old
oaken bucket that hung in the well, after
our return from the labors Of tho field on a
eultry day.in summer"
The tear-drop glistened for a momentin
Woodworth's eye.
"True, true" he replied, and shortly af-
ter quilted the place.
H. Immediately returned to tie Office
grasped pen, and in half an hour the
."old Oaken Bucket" one Of the most dc.
hghtful compositions in our language, was
ready in manuscript to be embalmed in the
memories of succeeding generations.
