Mr Samuki. WooDwnRTH, the writer of llie fol- 

 lowing lines, i* a native of Scituale, Mass. He served 

 an appreiiticc»lii[) at the printiiiK businosa, in the office 

 of the Columbian Ccntinol, in this city. At about the 

 aec of twenlytwo, he established a paper at Now Haven, 

 of which he was the editor, publisher, printer, and very 

 often the rarra-r. Hin thrill and industry, however, 

 were not crowned with success. A collection of his 

 poems was published in a volume in If l?:*, and another 

 in J827. , . ^ 



The short piece entitled ' The Bucket,' is the most 

 esteemed of Mr Woodworth's writings. It i» a very 

 happy performance, natural in thought and expression, 

 and distinguished for the musical sweelnrss of its num- 

 bers. The engaging liveliness anil simplicity of this 

 little strain, have made it very popular.— .S^ecimon of 

 American Poetry, abridged. . 



THE BUCKET. 

 How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood 1 



When fond recollection presents ihcm to view ; 

 The orchard, the meadow, the deep, tangled wild-wood, 



And every loved spot which my infancy knew ; 

 The wide-spreading pond, and the mill that stood by it. 



The bridge, and the rock where the cataract Icll ; 

 The cot of my father, the dairy-house nigh it. 



And e'en the rude bucket which hung in the well. 

 The old oaken bucket — the iron-bound bucket — 

 The moss covered bucket which hung in the well. 



Thai moss covered vessel I hail as a treasure — 



For often at noon, when returned from the field, 

 I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure. 



The purest and sweetest that nature can yield. 

 How ardent I seized it with hands that weie glowing. 



And quick to the white pebbled bottom it fell ; 

 Then soon, with the emblem of truth overllowing. 



And dripping with coolness, it rose from the well. 

 The old oaken bucket — the iron-bound bucket — 

 The moss covered bucket arose from the well. 



How sweet from the green nossy brim to receive i(, 



As-poised on the curb, it inclined to my lips ! 

 Not a full, blushing goblet could tempt me to leave it, 



Though filled with the nectar that Jupiter sips. 

 And now, far removed from that loved situation. 



The tear of regret will intrusively swell. 

 As fancy reverts to my father's plantation. 



And sighs for the bucket which hangs in the well. 

 The old oaken bucket — the iron-bound bucket — 

 The moss covered bucket which hangs in the well. 



BRAN BREAD. 



That our readers may not accuse us of witli- 

 holiliug all kinds of recipes for wonder-workii)!; 

 mixtures, we give tliem, sulijoincd, the following 

 one for making bran bread, wliicli, to many of 

 tlicni, is known as an excellent article of <liet, in 

 certain cases of dyspepsia. 



First Receipt. — To four pounds of best house- 

 bold flour, put two table spoonfuls of small liecr 

 yeast, and a half a pint of warm water; let it 

 stand t«o hours in a warm place, about four feet 

 from the firr ; tlirn add iiiilf a pound of bran, and 

 a tea spoonful of salt, and proceed to make llie 

 dougb, with Hkimiiied milk, or warm Water; then 

 cover it up as before, anil let it slunil ono hour 

 more; then begiu to bent the oven, which will re- 

 quire one lioiir. Make your loaves and put lliem 

 into warm dishes, and l«t them stand twenty min- 

 utes before you put tbein into the oven. This 

 sized loaf will require an hour to bake. Wlicn 

 you draw jour bread, turn it bottom upwards ; 

 next morning, it will be fit for use. You should 

 have it fresh every fourth day. The color of the 



wheat is of no importance, nor is patent yenst. 

 Bread thus (irepared is said to be greatly prefera- 

 ble to that inade*with flour, ground, unJ all the 

 bran kept in it. 



Seco.nd Receipt. — Cause the wheat to be 

 ground, retaining the whoU of the bran, take half 

 u peck of such flouer, and put it in a suitable ves- 

 sel, (wooden is best;) mix a quarter of a pint of I 

 small beer yeast to a quart oflukewaim water; 

 put this in the middle of the flour, and slir it well 

 with a wooden sp on, until it is a thick batter ; 

 the flour remaining on the edges of the ve.-sel, 

 unmixed, sprinkle over the top ; Iberi cover the 

 vessel with a napkin and set it before the fire, 

 obout three feet distant; to rcniaiii there two 

 hours, ui|til it rises well ; then take it up, and 

 strew over it a table spoonful of salt,' and make 

 the whole into a stifi' paste ; before this is done, 

 add a little more warm water if rcrpiisite ; tlieu 

 put it down to the fire, until it rises again, which 

 will |)robably occupy from half an hour to an hour 

 — when it has risen again ihorotighly, take it up, 

 knead it into the dough. This quantity is sufli- 

 cient for four loaves. Put it into tins, an I set it 

 again before the fire, until it rises a little, and it 

 is then ready for .the oven. It requires to be 

 thoroughly well baked. Ready for use the second 

 day. It is necessary to request the person who 

 grinds the %vbeat to cause the bran to be ground 

 as fine as possible. 



If a little moist sugar and powdered caraway 

 seeds are added to the above, it makes a whole- 

 some sweet cake. — Journal of Health.

Chenango Canal. — A bill for the construction of 

 this canal has been lost in the House of Assembly. 

 None of the cross cuts in the state pay revenue 

 enough to keep them in repair. The Seneca and 

 f)swego canal bring the stale in debt every year. 

 Rail Roads will drive canals out of fashion in less 

 than ten years.
