10 this and other unexpected information the
tempter says:
i have seven ships that have just sailed IN
And seven more at sea.
Two hundred and ten fine Young men.
All for to wait thee
Unable TO resist this alluring offer the unfaithful
wife OF the house carpenter yields 10 the tempter.
oh. she called her baby to her lap.
And gave 1t kisses three,
Saying: Stay home, my sweet little babe
And keep your father compa-nee'
Having sailed away with her first love the
young mother becomes sadly rernorseful and
having been asked by her lover if she weeps for
fear or because OF the possessions she has left
behind, she says:
= do not weep for my house and lands
Nor do I weep for fear:
But do weep for the little babe,
That I left when I sailed here
Then comes the tragedy sure to develop in all
OF these old ballads, for are told that
They had not sailed two davs or more
three
When the ship sprung leak and they all down,
To the bottom of the sea-hee-lee'
Another ballad sung by Old Nance related
in hlood-curdhng lines how one young Fanny
Moore had been murdered by her lover who
got his "come-uppance.' however, for
told that
Oh. he was hanged bv the door.
For a-spiin' OF the blood OF the fair Fanny Moore
This was q just return for his having
Sent her body a-ioating down on the siIverv tide.
A ballad having many varying versions was IN
high favor and was sung IN many parts Of our
country century and more ago as We'll as at
much later period No doubt elderly readers Of
this VIII recall hearing II sung in their childhood
1t usually appeared under the title of Spring
field Mountain. although sometimes II was given
the more effective It'll Of The Pizen Serpent"
Sarpient.' as Old Nance called II \ common
version OF this ballad began follows:
On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
4 likely youth who known full we'll
Ri u da day, Il IL ia day,
RI Ga day. da day.
One summer morning he did 60
Down II the meadow for TO
He had moved half re-ound the field
When q pizen sarpient bit his heel.
He lay right daoun upon the ground
Shut UP his ewes and looked al around
They sent right IN for his Sally dear.
Which made him feel mighty queer.
"Oh. Johnny dear, why did YOU 60
Down p that ued5er for % now
ION Sally dear. don't YOU know
lis l4Jdys grass and II must be rnowed,'
New-York tribune., 1905-07-23

M
for named Molly instead OF Sally and we are
told Of the victim of the "Pizen sarpient"
He tux the riptyle in his hand,
And straightway went tew Molly Bland;
oh, Molly Molly, here you
\ pizen sarpent what bit mel
Then Molly Bland. she squatted down.
And sucked the pizen from the wound;
But oh, she had rotten tooth,
The venom soon affected both
Oh then they were all spotted DER
With all the colors that the sarpient wore;
They laid them both upon bed,
And they swelled up and dll-edl'
In still another version of this distressing tale
told.
When this young gave up the ghost,
He up Abraham did post,
A-crving all the way he went:
oh crewel, crewel, crewe sarpient"
A ballad entitled . Young Charlotte had a wide
popularity in country for many years, and
doubt it still is sung in isolated instances. 1t
gives in twelve of eight lines each the story
of vain young woman who went to ball with
her lover bitter winter night thinly dressed,
with the result that she froze death on the way
to the inn in which the ball held. We are told
in this ballad that
Young Charlotte lived by the mountain-sde
In a lone and dreary spot.
No dwellings there for miles around
Except her fathers
And vet many a winters
Young swains would gather there
For her father kept a social board
And she fair.
When young Charlotte and her lover Charles
started their ride of fifteen miles to the ball
that winter night Charlotte wore only her showv
slken cloak, and told that
Her mother said: My daughter dear.
This blanket round you fold,
For It's a dreadful night abroad,
You'll take your death OF cold"
"Oh. no. nol" young Charlotte said.
And she laughed like a gypsy queen.
To ride in blankets mutfed up,
I never can be seen"
When they finally reached the inn and Charles
attempted assist Charlotte from the sleigh we
are told that
He took her hand in his. Godl
Twas cold and hard
He tore the mantle from her brow,
And the cold stars oer her shone.
Then quickly 10 the lighted hall
Her lifeess form he bore,
For Charlotte a frozen corpse,
And words spoke
The shock and grief OF this were so great that
young Charles could not survive it. and are told
in the closing stanza that Charlotte and Charles
soon 'sumbered IN one tomb
The ballad Of Lord Randall" gives in curious
detail the story of a young man poisoned for no
apparent reason by his sweetheart The ballad
begins with the return of the lover from the home
OF his treacherous Polly, and his mother says:
Where have YOU been, Charlie o Charlie my son.
Where have YOU been. Charlie my dear and one'
Been a-courting Pretty Polly mother-nake my bed
soon,
For I'm sick at my neart and fam would lie down"
What had YOU for supper, o Charlie, my SOM
What had YOU for supper, my dear and sweet ones"
We had eels fried make soon;
For m sick my heart and I fam would lie down"

an exception. but many fields report yield
of over so bushels per acre. In hundreds of
instances the wheat crop harvested this year
is worth three or four times the present value
of the land The Santa Fe officials say the
states yield will be more than so 000, 900 bush
els.
