The Old Oaken Bucket.

Several stories have been told as to
how the author of 1.-THE Old Oaken
Bucket, Samuel Woodwork, came to
write the now immortal song. Wood
worth, as we have it, was a journeyman
printer, in an office on the corner of
Chatham and Chambers streets, New
York. Near by, in Frankfort street,
was a drinking shop, kept by a man
named Mallory, where Woodwork and
several particular friends used to resort.
One afternoon the liquor was super
excellent and Woodwork seemed in
spired by it, for, after taking a draught,
he set his glass on the table, and,
smacking his lips, declared that NAL
lory's eau de vie was superior to any
thing he had ever tasted. NO" said
Mallory, you are mistaken. There was
one thing which in both our estima-
tions surpassed this in the way of
drinking" "What was that" asked
Woodwork, obviously. "The draught
of pure, fresh spring water that we
used to drink from the old oaken bucket
that hung in the we'll, after our return
from the labors' of the field on a sultry
day in summer" The teardrop glisten-
ed for a moment in Woodwork s Eye.

"Other countries said he, in a re-

little space; but season by season it
planted its branches in the ground ,
girdled the Gulf, spanned the Missis-

crossed the lofty arches OF the Rockies,
reached the Cascades and the Navadas;
its hardy growth shelters the frozen
region of the far Northwest, and now
its boughs are hanging over the prairie,

When the Republicans had the tar.
if question to deal with, they framed
and passed a law in a considerate and
judicious way, and without any inter,
ruption of business or decrease of en-
ployment. In other words, they pur-
sued an intelligent, consistent and
straightforward course, and the result
was advantageous to all classes of citi
zens. The contrast presented by the
present shameful spectacle conveys a
lesson which the American people will
certainly not overlook.
