JOCK AND JILL.
"Jock and Jill
Went up the hill,
To bring a pail Of water;
Jock fell down,
And broke his crown, and
Jill came .umbling AFTER"


jill came .umbling AFTER"
The person who indited the above lines
was not only poet, but prophet. The
yersification is perfect, and how singularly
prophetic the sentiment Of the present finan-
cial condition of the times The lines en-
brace all the essentials of regular didactic
poem-here is the commencement, the mid
die, and the end. The poet makes no labored
invocations to his Muse, but, conscious of the
strength of his wing, he dashes like an eagle
at once upon his subject, exhausts it and
quits. TIE "Pome," it will be seen, has two
heroes, Jock and Jill. This complexity of
machinery exhibits in great degree the in
vention and genius of the author. The sex
of the leading characters is artistically con-
cealed; this no doubt was intended TO height
en- the sublimity by obscurity. We suppose
Jock was male and Jill a female, but this is
doubtful. Why Jock and Jill went up in.
stead of doUn the hill, we are entirely iguo-
rant Probably it was billy country, and
water was no where else 10 be had.
So much for the poetical. Let US now ex-
anime the prophetic.
"Jock and Jill went up the hill" This has
been the movement for years of our Banks
and people. We have been going up, up up
until, like certain character in Scripture
when on high mountain, we have been
ready to put in a fee simple claim for all the
kingdoms Of the earth. Such exatation was
sure to be humbled, as Bennett says:
"Millionaire railroad jobbers, stock jobbers,
landjobbers, banks, spectators and forgers,
fast young men, fast old men, fast women,
fast horses, brandy, billiards and faro, French
gewgaws, fashionable rivalries in wasting
money, and all such rubbish, stuff and abom.
nations, have done the business"
Jock and Jill, il is further said, went up
the hill to bring a pail Of water. The poet
evidently signifies by the water that Jock and
Jill were avaricous and wanted to put money
in their purse-but mark the sequel:
