THE WELL-DIUUER; AN OWEK-TKUE BALLAD.HT JOUN G. HA\K.

Come listen all while 1 relateWhat recently befel

Upon a farmer dowh in Maine.While digging of a well.

Full many a yard he dug and delved,And still he dug in vain;

' Alack!" quoth he,"e'en water seemsProhibited in Maine!

And still he dug and delved away,And still the well was dry;

The only water to be foundWas in the farmer s eye;

For by the breaking ot" the bank1'hat tumbled from its station,

All suddenly his hope was dashedOf tuture liquidation!

And now his sands were running fast,And he had died, no doubt,

But that just when the well caved in,He happened to be out!

"Aha!.I have a lucky thought"Exclaimed this wicked man.

"To dig anew this wretched well1 see a pretty plan:.

"I'll hide me straight, and when my wifeAnd eke my neighbors know,

What's happened to my digging here,They'll think that I'm below!

"And so to save my precious life,They'll dig the well no doubt,

E'en deeper than it was dug at first,Before they find me out!"

And so he hid him in the barnThrough all the hungry day.

To bide the digging ot his wellIn this deceitful way.

But list what grief and shame befelThis false, ungrateful man,

And while he slyly watched to see

The working of his plan;.The neighbors all with one accord

Unto each other said ."With such a weight of earth above,The man is surely dead."

And then the wife, w ith pious care,All needless cost to save,

Said."since the Lord hath w illed it so,E'en let it be his grave!"

Of paper coin, how vast the power!It makes or breaks us in an hour,And thus, perhaps, a beggar's shirt,When finely ground, ana cleared of dirt,Then recompressed, with hand and hopper.And printed on by sheet of copper,May raise ten twoJIt* to renown,And knock as many nobles down.
