THE OLD MILL-STREAM.

merry old mill; Thou livest in mem'-ry, and ad lib.

will not de-part, For thy wa - ters What pleasure it was to spring forth in the sun, When the school-door was op'd, and the lessons were done; [the call, When, Where shall we play?' was the doubt and And, 'Down by the mill-stream' was echo'd by all. How I lov'd the green spot where my fairy ship laid, [shade!

And the perch with its golden back slept in the How I lov'd the tal! rushes that grew by its side, And the cress and the ily-cup kissing its tide!

THE OLD JAW-BONE.

The Words altered and adapted by F. A. D.; the Music by Henry Russell.-Published in Davidson's Cheap and Uniform Edition of his Compositions.

Allegro.

De jaw-bone hung o- ber log'- hut fire,-Jaw-bone de ting I most ad-mire, And

when at night my work am done, Jaw-bone and I can hab some fun.

Dance jaw-bone wid your tur - key too, Neb- ber mind my look-ing at you.

No sooner I sit down to gaze,

An' log-hut fire make de blaze,

Dan Jaw-bone show such lots of sights
As nebber was seen by British whites.

Dance, jaw-bone, &c.

Once, when de flame was burning bright-
O! what a sight I see'd dat night-
I fancy de jaw-bone a lubly wreath,
Wid de face of my Dinah underneath.
Dance, jaw-bone, &c.

O! how my heart went pit-a-pee!
I blush'd at her, she blush'd at me ;
But de fault was her's, I'm certain sure,
For I know she lub'd dat Nig next door.
Dance, jaw-bone, &c.

Anoder time, as I sat dere, Kicking my shin-bones in de air,

Who's queer visage should I see
But Johnny Boker's from Tennessee.
Dance, jaw-bone, &c.

And ober his shoulder, noddin time,
Was Dandy Jim from Caroline ;-
Wid such great folks I'm berry free-
I wink'd at him, he wink'd at me.
Dance, jaw-bone, &c.

I nebber make dat jaw-bone swing
But all de bells begin to ring;
And if I cut a caper or two,
Jaw-bone always dances too.

Dance, jaw-bone, &c.
Jaw-bone and Joe will nebber part,
Jaw-bone always in my heart;
For my ole fader gabe it me
As a genewine jaw-bone legacy.
Dance, jaw-bone, &c.

FAREWELL, THOU STREAM.

The Poetry by Robert Burns.

well, thou stream, that wind- ing flows Around Mari a's dwel

guish, To feel a fire in ev'ry vein, Nor dare dis- close - - my an-guish.

The wretch of love, unseen, unknown,

I fain my griefs would cover;

The bursting sigh, the unweeting groan,

Betray the hopeless lover.

I know thou doom'st me to despair,
Nor wilt, nor can'st releive me;
But, O! Maria, hear one prayer-
For pity's sake forgive me!

The music of thy tongue I heard,
Nor wist while it enslaved me;
I saw thine eyes, yet nothing fear'd,
Till ears no more had scared me:
The unwary sailor, thus aghast,
The wheeling torrent viewing,
Mid circling horrors yields at last,
To overwhelming ruin.
