And among all the to wn officers chosen , at I

x sinrle vear. the burtlien of such, manifold 1
duties as are imposed, in perpetuity upon
the Town Pump. The title of town treasu
rer', is rightfully mine, as' gaardian of the
best treasure the town has The oveseersof
the poor ought to make me their chairman,
since I provide bountifully for the pauper,
without expense to him thai pays taxes. I
am at.the head of the fire department, and
one of the physicians to the board of health.
As a keener of the peace, all water drinkers
will confess me equal i to the constables. 1 1
perform somc.of the duties of the town clerk,
by promulgating public notices, when they
are posted on my front. To speak, within
bounds, I am the chief person of the munct-
nalitv. and exhibit, moreover, an admirable
Batte'rn to my brother officers by the cool,
steady, upright downright and impartial dis
cbarge of my business, and the constancy
with which I stand to mv post. Summer or
winter, nobody seeks me in vain ; for all
dav long I jam seen at the busiest place, op

which it made. On Sabbath days, whenever
babe wasto be baptized, the sexton ' filled
his basin here, and placed it on the commu-
nion table of the humble meeting house, which
partly covered the site of yonder stately brick
one.
Thus, one generation after another was
consecrated to Heaven by its waters", and cast
tneir warning shadows into its glassy bosom,'
and vanished from earth as if mortatiife were
but a fleeting image in a fountain. Finally,
the fountain vanished also. Cellars were
dug on' all sides, and cart loads of gravel
flung upon its source, whence oozed a tur
bid stream, forming a mud puddle at the
corner of two streets. In hot months, when
refreshment was most needed, the dust flew
in clouds over the forgotten birthplace of the
waters now 4heir grave. But, tn the course
of time, a Town Pump was sunk into the
source of the ancient spring ; and when the
first decayed, another took its place : and
another and-stilt another ; till here stand I,
gentlemen and ladies, to serve you with mv

water is pure and as cold as' that which sla

wilderness is treasured under these ho stones

buildings. And be it the moral of my story

after, they shall have the business to lliem

stroke or two, just to whet my whistle.
Thank you sir ! My dear hearers, when the
world shall: have been regenerated by my
instrumentality, you will collect your use
less vats and liquor casks into one great
pile, and make a bonfire in honor of the
Town Pump. And, when I shall have - de
cayed, like my. predecessors, then, if you
revere my memory, let a marble fountain,
richly sculptured, take my place upon this
spot. Such monuments should be erected
every-where, and inscribed with the names
of the distinguished champions of my cause.
Now listen; for something very important
is to come next :
There are two or three honest friends of
mine and true friends, I know they are
who, nevertheless, by their fierce pugnacity
in my behalf, do put me in fearful hazard of
a broken nose, or even of a total overthrow
upon the pavement; and the loss of the trea
sure which I guard. I pray you gentlemen
let this fault be amended. Is it decent, think
you, to get tipsey with zeal for temperance,
and take up the honorable cause of the old
Town Pump, in the style of a toper, fighting
for his brandy bottle t Or, can the excellent
qualities of cold water be no otherwise exem
plified, than by plunging, slap dash into hot
water, and wofutly scalding yourselves and
other people ? Trust me, they may. In
the moral warfare which you are to wage
indeed in the whole' conduct of your lives,
you - cannot choose a belter example than
myself, who have never permitted the dust,
and sultry atmosphere, the turbulence and
manifold disquietudes of the world around
me, to reach that deep, calm welt of purity.
which mav be called mv soul. And when
ever I pour out that sonl, it is to cool earth's
ever or cleanse its stains.
One o'clock! Nay, then, if the dinner
bell begins to speak, I may as well bold my
.peace. Here comes a young girt of my ac
quaintanee. with a large stone pitcher for me
to fill. May she draw a . husband, while
drawing her water, as Rachel did of old.
Hold out your vessel, my dear! There it
is full to the brim ; so now run home, peep
ing at your sweet image in the' pitcher, as
you go; and forget not, in a glass of my own
iquor, to drinks " Success to the Town
Pump!'
