THE BUCKET WHICH IIUNU IN THE WELL. 



BY S. WOUDWOBTH. 



IIow dear to my heart are the days of my childhood, 



When fond recollection presents to my view 



The orchard, iho meadow, the deep-langlcd wild wood, 



And ev'ry luy'd spot which my infancy knew ; 



The wide spreading pond, and the mill whicli stood 



near it; 

 The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell, 

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

 And e'en the rude bucket thai hung on the well — 



The old oaken bucket, 



The iron bound bucket, 

 The moss covered bucket that hung on the well. 



Thai moss covered bucket I hail as B treasure ; 

 Forofltn at noon, when rctiirn'd from the field, 

 1 found it the source of an exquieltc pleasure, 

 '1 he purest and sweetest thai nature could yield. 

 Hi.w ardent I seized, with hands thai w«re glowing, 

 And quick to llio white pebbled bottom il fell ; 

 Then soon, with the emblem of truth overflowing, 

 And dripping with coolness, il rose from the well. 



The old oaken bucket. 



The iron bound bucket, 

 The moss covered bucket aioso from liie well. 



How sweet from the green mossy rim to receive it, 



As pois'd on the curb it inclined to my lips ; 



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



Tho' filled with the nectar that Jupiter sips. 



And now, far removed from that situation, 



Tho tear of regret will intrusively swell, 



A» fancy reverts to my father's plantation. 



And sighs for the bucket which hung in the well. 



The old oaken bucket, 



Tho iron bound bucket, 

 Tho moss covered bucket that hung on the well.

REMKDY FOR RHEUMATISM. 



Messrs. Editors — 1 crave at your hands on inser- 

 tion of the enclosed receipts for rhtumniic nnd 

 pstudurheiimutic pains. I have known them to 

 effect cures, after proper preparation, when all oth- 

 er means hav« failed. They have been a long 

 time in the hands of an empiric, and I havo gotten 

 possession of them by the death of the original 

 holder. I deem it my professional duty to have 

 Uiein published, and for this purpose need not ap- 

 peal to your well known humanity. I append my 

 name, that I may give them itn feeble atithority, 

 and enable sufferers to have them more fully ex- 

 plained. Very respectfully, 



Thomas G. Cli.ntow, M. D.

 put them in a suitable bcll-nietal or copper pot. 

 Throw in five bottles of water, and mark the height ; 

 one fourth higher make another mark, and then 

 add ten bottles more of water, iioil these down 

 to the higher mark, and then put in, wrapped in 

 another towel, the three remaining drugs. Boil 



all down to the lower mark ; take them then from 

 off the fire, cool, strain, and put the decoction in 

 five bottles.

during a day ; that is, morning, before dinner, and 

 evening. 'I'akn also, at pleasure, during the same 

 time, a bottle of the second ptisan. If they ope- 

 rate too powerfully, cease taking No. 2. If in .^O 

 days you are not cured, discontinue the ptisans for 

 some time, and then recommence for 30 days more, 

 and so on.

 suspend them so as not to touch the pot 



on K.EN'S PATENT STRAI*' CDTTEH. 



For Borws. — The safest and best application to 

 either a severe burn or scald, is soft cotton. In 

 many cases it is applied perfectly dry to the part, 

 and in others it is wetted on the side next the sore, 

 with a mixture of linie-woter and linseed oil. A 

 rag wetted with some substance may be used where 

 cotton cannot be had, but cotton is best, and no 

 house should be without a quantity of it. 



A mess of scraped potato is excellent to be 

 bound on the part burnt, as soon as possible.

 Stalk Culler, operating on a mechanical principle not b«l 

 applied toaay implement fonhis purpose. The nio«t pn 

 inenl ctfects of this application, and »ome of ihe conscqu 

 peculiarities of llie machine arc : 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum of power renin 

 to use il, that the strength of a half grown boy is sumci 

 to work it etficienlly. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easily cuts two bo 

 els a minute, which is full twice as last as has Lceii claii 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or sK 

 power. 



,1. The knives, owing lo the peculiar manner in wliicht 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any M 

 straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made and 

 together very strongly. It is therefore net so liollc at 

 complicated machines in general use to gel nut nfordM
