THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET. A Famous Song and Its Composer. Samuel Woodworth, the son of a modest Massachusetts farmer, was born in Scituate, that state, January 19, 1785. While the family were poor and had no luxuries, their lot was no worfce than that of the ordinary New England family, and they lived in comporative comfort. While his life was a succession of ambitions, attempts and failures, his fame rests secure on his faithful portrayal of the old fashioned well and weather-beaten well sweep, universally to be found on the farms of that day. While living in New York City, on Duane street, he came home one July day, nearly overcome with the heat, and with nothing to drink but the tepid water of the city—ice being unknown in those days in the summer months—he exclaimed to his wife: “What would I not give this moment for a long draught from the old oaken bucket hanginng in my father’s well!” “Samuel!” replied his wife, “wouldn’t that be a good subject for a poem?” Forthwith he sat down — the thronging recollections of his childhood crowded thick upon him—and that charming idyll of tme bucolic New England sprang into sheathless life and fame. The music is said to have been adapted from an ancient Scottish melody by Frederick Smith. Woodworth died in 1852. This song, like so many of the heart lyrics of an elder day, is found in the famous song collection called “Heart Songs”—which this paper is offering nearly free of cost to its readers. We recommend them to look for the Heart Songs coupon, to be found elsewhere in this paper today—and learn the terms upon which this remarkable book can be had. DR. BURNHAM'!)
