ORIGIN OF ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR SONGS.
The "Old oaken Bucket" was written by Samuel
b. Woodwork, while yet he was a journeyman
printer working in office at the corner Of Cham
bers and Chatham street, New York. Near by, in
Frankfort street, was drinking house, kept by q
man named Mallory. where Woodworth and seve-
raj particular friends used to resort One after
noon the liquor was super excellent. Woodwork
seemed inspired by it; for sitter taking draught,
he set his glass upon the table. and smacking his
lips declared that Maory's eau ds riswas superior
to any thing he had ever tasted "Nc," said NAL
lery .you are mistaken: there was one which, IN
both our estimations far surpassed this in the way
Of drinking "What was thatf' asked Wood
worth, dubiously. ''The draughts of pure, fresh
spring water that used to drink in the old OAK
en- bucket that hung In the well, after our return
from the labors Of the field sultry day In sum.
mer." The tear drop glistened for momentin
Woodworths eye "Irue, true, he replied, and
shortly after quilted the place. He immediately
went to the Office, grasped pen, and in half an
boar the "OId Oaken Bucket" one of the most de-
lightful compositions in our language, was ready
in manuscript to be embalmed In the memories of
succeeding generations.
