THE WELI-DIGGER.
AN OVERTURE BALLAD.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

BY JOHN C. SAKE.
Come listen all, while / relate
What recently beiel
Unto farmer down in Maine
While digging of well.
Full many yard he dug and delyed,
And still he dug in vain,
"Alack!' quoth he, seen water seems
Prohibited in Maine!"
And still he dug and delved away,
And still the well was dry;
The only water to be found
Was in the farmers eye.
For by the breaking of the bank
That tumbled from its station,
All suddenly his hopes were dashed
OF future liquidation!
And now his sands were running fast,
And he had died no doubt,
But that just when the earth caved in
He happened to be out!
"Aha!-I have happy thought ;"
Exclaimed this wicked man
"To dig anew this cursed well
] see apretty plan.
"TlI hide me straight, and when my wife
And exc my neighbors know
What's happened to my digging here,
They'll think that I'm below.
"And so, TO save my precious life,
They'll dig the well, no doubt,
Fen deeper than twas dug at first,
Before they find me OUT"
And SO he hid him in the barn
Through all the hungry day,
To bide the digging Of his well ..
In this 1eceitlul way.
But list what grief and shame befel
The false uDgrateful man,
The while he slyly watched to see
The working OF his plan.
The neighbors all with one accord
Unto each other said,
"With such a weight of earth above
The man is surely dead"
And then the wife. with pious care,
All needless cost tu save,
S.id-"Since the Lord hath willed It 30,
Zen let it be his graye!'

A tender swain reproached his fair
one with letting rival kiss her hand
a fact that she Indignantly denied.
"But | saw it," "Nay, them" cried
the offended fair, ~ am now con-
vinced you did not love me, since you
believe your eyes in preference to my
word"
