After further pertinent remarks
the President read feelingly the fol-
lowing pome:"
1t was the son of Jacob Faithful.
Just come from work that day
His work in the gulch completed
And his old clothes all put away.
Twas the son of Jacob Faithful ...rl
Who stood at the bar above, =
Where the boys all stand around and drink
When asked by brother cove.
And the bar-keep questioned Faithful
Immediately just before referred to-
Would he have some ''rum and gum"
But the son of Jacob Faithful
No coin did he display,
And from that unfaithful son of Faithful
That bar-keep turnd away.
For memory came and whispered,
How all along through life
He'd washed the shining glasses ..s F$
To support his red-haired wife,
In her selfish ends essaying,
Through his poverty and shame
And the son of old man Faithful secured
Beneath that bar-keep's eye of flame.
Then from his book that bar-keep drew
leaf with name and date
That son of Faithful's whisky bill
And all his lunches ate;
And said he s'Young Faithful, answer me-
Dost see this lengthy scroll,
OF all the times you've not put up
For the Juice of the flowing bowl?
You've filled my room with revelry.
With old decks of cards, and wine,
And at the close you'd hold finger up,
Saying old Toppy, these are mineF
Then the son of Faithful answered.
There's no use of all this talk!
If my credit isn't good at this yer bar,
think I'll just take walk
But he came again at midnight,
He'd made the rounds of town;
And BY every bar-keep he'd been told,
Jake, you put the money DOWN.
"These dollar marks" the barkeep said,
"Oh, Faithful, tell me true
Is not this your maiden name and don't
They all belong to you?
Here's thy signature, son of Faithful,
If it isn't III be blessed
remember, once, you paid little
Tell me, will you pay the rest
Look! here's a woman's face-she's fe-
male!
Oh, Faithful, is this we'll?
Knowest thou how often woman's arms
Said Faithful ~ give it up-I cannot
tell
Then Faithful answered, ''This poor girl
Is your red-haired wife--my old Jane
Ann,
Who ran-away--in-ea-rly ifei"
Said the barkeep ''brace up come, be
man.
Then the son of Faithful altered;
mot for these marks that stand
Against my name do thus blubber. .
Let's take drink. Here's my hand" t'
They drank (mark you the sequeO and
The bar-keep questioned Faithful 20
That is old man Faithful's son,
immediately just before referred to
And they both took rum and gum.
