Noon, by the east! High noon, too, by these +hot sunbeams, which fall, scarcely aslope, upon my head, and almost +make the water bubble and smoke, in the trough under my nose. Truly, we +public characters have a tough time of it! And, among all the town +officers, chosen at March meeting, where is he that sustains, for a +single year, the burden of such manifold duties as are imposed, in +perpetuity, upon the Town Pump? The title of "town treasurer" is +rightfully mine, as guardian of the best treasure that the town has. +The overseers of the poor ought to make me their chairman, since I +provide bountifully for the pauper, without, expense to him that pays +taxes. I am at the head of the fire department; and one of the +physicians to the board of health. As a keeper of the peace, all water +drinkers will confess me equal to the constable. I perform some 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 +municipality, and exhibit, moreover, an admirable pattern to my brother +officers, by the cool, steady, upright, downright, and impartial +discharge of my business, and the constancy with which I stand to my +post. Summer or winter, nobody seeks me in vain; for, all day long, I am +seen at the busiest corner, just above the market, stretching out my +arms, to rich and poor alike; and at night, I hold a lantern over my +head, both to show where I am, and keep people out of the gutters. + +At this sultry noontide, I am cupbearer to the parched populace, for +whose benefit an iron goblet is chained to my waist. Like a dram-seller +on the mall, at muster-day, I cry aloud to all and sundry, in my plainest +accents, and at the very tiptop of my voice. Here it is, gentlemen! +Here is the good liquor! Walk up, walk up, gentlemen, walk up, walk up! +Here is the superior stuff! Here is the unadulterated ale of father +Adam,--better than Cognac, Hollands, Jamaica, strong beer, or wine of any +price; here it is, by the hogshead or the single glass, and not a cent to +pay! Walk up, gentlemen, walk up, and help yourselves! + +It were a pity, if all this outcry should draw no customers. Here they +come. A hot day, gentlemen! Quaff, and away again, so as to keep +yourselves in a nice cool sweat. You, my friend, will need another +cupful, to wash the dust out of your throat, if it be as thick there as +it is on your cowhide shoes. I see that you have trudged half a score of +miles to-day; and, like a wise man, have passed by the taverns, and +stopped at the running brooks and well-curbs. Otherwise, betwixt heat +without and fire within, you would have been burned to a cinder, or +melted down to nothing at all, in the fashion of a jelly-fish. Drink, +and make room for that other fellow, who seeks my aid to quench the fiery +fever of last night's potations, which he drained from no cup of mine. +Welcome, most rubicund sir! You and I have been great strangers, +hitherto; nor, to confess the truth, will my nose be anxious for a closer +intimacy, till the fumes of your breath be a little less potent. Mercy +on you, man! the water absolutely hisses down your red-hot gullet, and is +converted quite to steam, in the miniature tophet, which you mistake for +a stomach. Fill again, and tell me, on the word of an honest toper, did +you ever, in cellar, tavern, or any kind of a dram-shop, spend the price +of your children's food for a swig half so delicious? Now, for the first +time these ten years, you know the flavor of cold water. Good by; and, +whenever you are thirsty, remember that I keep a constant supply, at the +old stand. Who next? O, my little friend, you are let loose from +school, and come hither to scrub your blooming face, and drown the memory +of certain taps of the ferule, and other school-boy troubles, in a +draught from the Town Pump. Take it, pure as the current of your young +life. Take it, and may your heart and tongue never be scorched with a +fiercer thirst than now! There, my dear child, put down the cup, and +yield your place to this elderly gentleman, who treads so tenderly over +the paving-stones, that I suspect he is afraid of breaking them. What! +he limps by, without so much as thanking me, as if my hospitable offers +were meant only for people who have no wine-cellars. Well, well, sir,-- +no harm done, I hope! Go draw the cork, tip the decanter; but, when your +great toe shall set you a-roaring, it will be no affair of mine. If +gentlemen love the pleasant titillation of the gout, it is all one to the +Town Pump. This thirsty dog, with his red tongue lolling out, does not +scorn my hospitality, but stands on his hind legs, and laps eagerly out +of the trough. See how lightly he capers away again! Jowler, did your +worship ever have the gout? + +Are you all satisfied? Then wipe your mouths, my good friends; and, +while my spout has a moment's leisure, I will delight the town with a few +historical reminiscences. In far antiquity, beneath a darksome shadow of +venerable boughs, a spring bubbled out of the leaf-strewn earth, in the +very spot where you now behold me, on the sunny pavement. The water was +as bright and clear, and deemed as precious, as liquid diamonds. The +Indian sagamores drank of it, from time immemorial, till the fatal deluge +of the fire-water burst upon the red men, and swept their whole race away +from the cold fountains. Endicott, and his followers, came next, and +often knelt down to drink, dipping their long beards in the spring. The +richest goblet, then, was of birch-bark. Governor Winthrop, after a +journey afoot from Boston, drank here, out of the hollow of his hand. +The elder Higginson here wet his palm, and laid it on the brow of the +first town-born child. For many years it was the watering-place, and, as +it were, the wash-bowl of the vicinity,--whither all decent folks +resorted, to purify their visages, and gaze at them afterwards--at least, +the pretty maidens did--in the mirror which it made. On Sabbath days, +whenever a babe was to be baptized, the sexton filled his basin here, and +placed it on the communion-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 their waxing and waning shadows into its glassy bosom, and vanished +from the earth, as if mortal life were but a flitting image in a +fountain. Finally, the fountain vanished also. Cellars were dug on all +sides, and cartloads of gravel flung upon its source, whence oozed a +turbid stream, forming a mud-puddle, at the corner of two streets. In +the hot months, when its refreshment was most needed, the dust flew in +clouds over the forgotten birthplace of the waters, now their grave. +But, in 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 then another, and still another,--till here stand I, gentlemen and +ladies, to serve you with my iron goblet. Drink, and be refreshed! The +water is as pure and cold as that which slaked the thirst of the red +sagamore, beneath the aged boughs, though now the gem of the wilderness +is treasured under these hot stones, where no shadow falls, but from the +brick buildings. And be it the moral of my story, that, as this wasted +and long-lost fountain is now known and prized again, so shall the +virtues of cold water, too little valued since your father's days, be +recognized by all. + +Your pardon, good people! I must interrupt my stream of eloquence, and +spout forth a stream of water, to replenish the trough for this teamster +and his two yoke of oxen, who have come from Topsfield, or somewhere +along that way. No part of my business is pleasanter than the watering +of cattle. Look! how rapidly they lower the water-mark on the sides of +the trough, till their capacious stomachs are moistened with a gallon or +two apiece, and they can afford time to breathe it in, with sighs of calm +enjoyment. Now they roll their quiet eyes around the brim of their +monstrous drinking-vessel. An ox is your true toper. + +But I perceive, my dear auditors, that you are impatient for the +remainder of my discourse. Impute it, I beseech you, to no defect of +modesty, if I insist a little longer on so fruitful a topic as my own +multifarious merits. It is altogether for your good. The better you +think of me, the better men and women will you find yourselves. I shall +say nothing of my all-important aid on washing-days; though, on that +account alone, I might call myself the household god of a hundred +families. Far be it from me also to hint, my respectable friends, at the +show of dirty faces which you would present, without my pains to keep you +clean. Nor will I remind you how often when the midnight bells make you +tremble for your combustible town, you have tied to the Town Pump, and +found me always at my post, firm amid the confusion, and ready to drain +my vital current in your behalf. Neither is it worth while to lay much +stress on my claims to a medical diploma, as the physician, whose simple +rule of practice is preferable to all the nauseous lore, which has found +men sick or left them so, since the days of Hippocrates. Let us take a +broader view of my beneficial influence on mankind. + +No; these are trifles, compared with the merits which wise men concede to +me,--if not in my single self, yet as the representative of a class--of +being the grand reformer of the age. From my spout, and such spouts as +mine, must flow the stream that shall cleanse our earth of the vast +portion of its crime and anguish, which has gushed from the fiery +fountains of the still. In this mighty enterprise, the cow shall be my +great confederate. Milk and water! The TOWN Pump and the Cow! Such is +the glorious copartnership, that shall tear down the distilleries and +brewhouses, uproot the vineyards, shatter the cider-presses, ruin the tea +and coffee trade, and finally monopolize the whole business of quenching +thirst. Blessed consummation! Then Poverty shall pass away from the +land, finding no hovel so wretched, where her squalid form may shelter +itself. Then Disease, for lack of other victims, shall gnaw its own +heart, and die. Then Sin, if she do not die, shall lose half her +strength. Until now, the frenzy of hereditary fever has raged in the +human blood, transmitted from sire to son, and rekindled in every +generation, by fresh draughts of liquid flame. When that inward fire +shall be extinguished, the heat of passion cannot but grow cool, and war +--the drunkenness of nations--perhaps will cease. At least, there will +be no war of households. The husband and wife, drinking deep of peaceful +joy,--a calm bliss of temperate affections,--shall pass hand in hand +through life, and lie down, not reluctantly, at its protracted close. +To them, the past will be no turmoil of mad dreams, nor the future an +eternity of such moments as follow the delirium of the drunkard. Their +dead faces shall express what their spirits were, and are to be, by a +lingering smile of memory and hope. + +Ahem! Dry work, this speechifying; especially to an unpractised orator. +I never conceived, till now, what toil the temperance lecturers undergo +for my sake. Hereafter, they shall have the business to themselves. Do, +some kind Christian, pump a stroke or two, just to wet my whistle. Thank +you, sir! My dear hearers, when the world shall have been regenerated by +my instrumentality, you will collect your useless vats and liquor-casks +into one great pile, and make a bonfire, in honor of the Town Pump. And, +when I shall have decayed, 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 everywhere, 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 fiery pugnacity in my behalf, do +put me in fearful hazard of a broken nose or even a total overthrow upon +the pavement, and the loss of the treasure which I guard. I pray you, +gentlemen, let this fault be amended. Is it decent, think you, to get +tipsy with zeal for temperance, and take up the honorable cause of the +Town Pump in the style of a toper, fighting for his brandy-bottle? Or, +can the excellent qualities of cold water be not otherwise exemplified, +than by plunging slapdash into hot water, and wofully scalding yourselves +and other people? Trust me, they may. In the moral warfare, which you +are to wage,--and, indeed, in the whole conduct of your lives,--you +cannot choose a better 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 well of purity, which may +be called my soul. And whenever I pour out that soul, it is to cool +earth's fever, or cleanse its stains. + +One o'clock! Nay, then, if the dinner-bell begins to speak, I may as +well hold my peace. Here comes a pretty young girl of my acquaintance, +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 hone, peeping at your sweet +image in the pitcher, as you go; and forget not, in a glass of my own +liquor, to drink--"SUCCESS TO THE TOWN PUMP!" + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, A RILL FROM THE TOWN PUMP *** +By Nathaniel Hawthorne + +******* This file should be named haw3010.txt or haw3010.zip ******** + +Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, haw3011.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, haw3010a.txt + +This eBook was produced by David Widger [widger@cecomet.net] + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
