It wa m Ancient Mariner,

''By long grey beard and glttering eye,
Ne therefore stoppest thou meT' -.f.'
"Oh I'm an ancient mariner,

And listens like--like anything;

Betv n the grim Matinious
Al broad Pcnobscot Bay.

And Ncrriconig and Quohog -ligMs'
Behind lis dmmed their ray.
At H.. we made fair kennebunk,
Al Juc Monsan Rivers mouth,
And IS q called all hands end made ali sail
And headed her due South.
And GOOD North wind sprung up behind,
And The AlbatrossF did follow,
And though she can sail close To the wind
Before it beat her hollow.
But when we come Off Holiness Hole,
The ,ChOOncr was becalmed
And if such weather ! ever see ....
Before may be-iiggered
Day after day day after day,
We stuck and made no motion;
As idle as a chrome ship
On lithograpic ocean
The pitch it boiled out Of the seams
That il was hot may'st think;
Salt water, water everywhere,
But We had fresh to drink.
But we made New York in forty days
Aud left the Ellen Jane
Tied up at the pier, and came to hear
The news from Maine, Maine, Maine

'Sho!' said the Ancient Mariner;
That seems gainst human natur';
But Connor'll he elected yet,
For we've rot the Legislature

''But that cannot be done,
For the Opposition's majority,
In the house is 81

And to his intcrocutor
He said, "'rhe heaven YOU say!
