Nathan's earliest documented connection with Kern and Mader was in the advertisements for The southern Eurphrosyne in August 1850. By April 1853, Nathan had evidently chosen W. J.

We are disposed to encourage entertainments which evidently afford pleasure to the public, and have therefore no hesitation in again drawing attention to the Nelson family, whose last novelty "the Russians in Melbourne," is likely to become the most popular of their performances. Last night there was a tolerable house, and certainly one of the most delighted audiences it has been our good fortune to witness for some time. There is no mistaking genuine hearty laughter, and unanimous applause. The Misses Nelson were encored, almost unmercifully, in their songs, and at the close of the performance were called up on the stage to receive further compliments of the audience. Everybody left the room in good spirits, for it is just one of that sort of entertainments which drive away care, and in such dull times as these is as great a treat as a bath after a hot wind.

"NELSON FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT", The Argus (8 August 1854), 5

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article4796102

A musical vaudeville under the thrilling title of "A Midnight Mystery," was performed by the Nelson Family yesterday evening at the Mechanics' Institution, and was received with cordial applause by a crowded audience. It is the production of Mr. F. M. Soutten, already favorably known here as the author of the "Russians in Melbourne," and other pleasing pieces. The Midnight Mystery was completely successful. The plot involves a ghost story, which terminates in the spectre becoming a happy lover. The incidental music was exceedingly appropriate. Of the acting and singing of the Misses Nelson we have already expressed our high opinion; and of Mr. A. Nelson we should probably be able to speak in equally favorable terms were he to divest himself of a tendency to exaggeration to which he is rather prone. Miss C. Nelson, in her character of a lady's maid, seemed a particular favorite with the audience. The Midnight Mystery, if not quite equal to some of Mr. Soutten's former pieces, is yet well worthy of being listened to, and we doubt not will form an attractive part, for some time to come, of the very pleasant entertainments of the Nelson Family.

"As it is in Australia (J. M. author of Bill Buggins)", Ballarat Times (2 September 1854)

To the tune "The Merry Maids of England."

The rivers of Victoria, they are beautiful and grand,
In mighty torrents rushing on to fertilize the land,
Through scenery that is beautiful her creeks and streamlets run,
But they're dried up in the summer by a hot Australian sun (rpt.)
The roads of this great colony are very fine indeed
O'er which your horse can travel with ease at railway speed.
As you dash o'er rocks and crab-holes, your heart will loudly beat -
And the hot winds are refreshing; when you're overcome by heat (rpt.)

The squatters of Victoria they are such a splendid race -
Gold digging's ruined the country; they'll tell you to your face -
Enlightened men you'll find them, and faultless as can be,
With pantaloons, and worsted-cord and hat of cabbage tree (rpt.)
Bullock drivers are intelligent, and are apt to make you stare,
Their language is so classical - my word, and can't they swear.
Their features so expressive as they tan a bullocks hide,
Convinces you they're new chums, who've not seen the other side (rpt.)

The diggers of Victoria comprise men of every clime,
Infractionary ingrates who have been logged for crime -
Associate with gentlemen of proud patrician birth -
And are united in the work of farming mother earth (rpt.)
But the miners as a body are now a source of wealth,
To disclose vast hidden treasures they risk both life and health.
I'll tell you my conviction, I will carefully unfold,
Victoria is a shicer once the digger's got no gold! (rpt.)

What a blessing to Victoria are her brilliant auctioneers,
Whose eloquent catch-calling often fills the eye with tears.
They never can reproach themselves, but sometimes heave a sigh
When selling very swampy land, described both high and dry (rpt.)
Shopkeepers on the diggings used to drive a roaring trade,
And fondly hope that in 12 months their fortunes would be made,
But the market now is overstocked, there's grog in every store
And most of that fraternity must go and dig once more (rpt.)

"A POPULAR AUSTRALIAN SONG", The Bristol Mercury [England] (23 September 1854), 6

The Yankees have for some years past, across the Atlantlic wide,
Enjoyed themselves by singing songs about their golden tide;
So now, in our turn, we'll commence in songs of merry strain,
To enjoy ourselves; our tide has turned, Australia can't complain:
Her sons can chant a better stave, yes, one by far more bold,
For we've not only found the dust, but fine large lumps of gold.

So, boys, we'll now enjoy ourselves, and have a jolly song,
We care not for America, and that she'll know ere long:
For though her "Cal" has golden mines, we have them here as well,
Much richer, too (Bale Gammon boys), she can't our story tell;
Our rocks are all cemented with the brightest, finest gold:
Oh ! how she'll hang her braggart head, when we our tale unfold.

Her miners, too, although so flash, are mostly seen, I guess,
To sport themselves in dirty drab - while we in scarlet dress:
With pistols, guns, swords, daggers, too, thus well equipped we move;
And should they come to visit us - our honesty shall prove,
That though we're armed thus "cap-a-ple," and look so fiery hot,
We're not brigands, but only mean to guard what we have got.

Those drabites told us more than once that we were villains all,
All rogues and thieves and vagabonds, deserving six feet full;
But let them now say what they like, we've got the pelf ourselves,
And if we give them rope enough, they'll surely hang themselves.
Then, whilst they're hanging gibbet high, lord! how we all shall chaff! -
Upon my word, it makes us cry to think how we shall laugh.

They boasted largely of their gold, to keep us in the mumps:
But, after all their bounce, my boys, they ne'er could show such lumps
As we've discovered in our creeks - those must be weighed with pounds!
Superior, too, in quality to those on Broadbrim's grounds.
So, while we delve and loose our soil, and tear up rocks, we'll shout
Australia's sons have better gold than Jonathan found out.

We've ofttimes been insulted by these Yankee Doodle Doos,
Who now would p'rhaps be glad enough to step into our shoes,
With all their boasted honesty, and work in our rich mines:
They'd better not, lest they might get infected with our crimes.
But should they come to help us dig, we'll chaff them night and day,
And tell them plainly that we thought their mines would never pay.

According to a later review, it was sung once by Maria Carandini in Victroia, therefore probably late 1855 or early 1856; [Advertisement]: "NEW MUSIC", The Sydney Morning Herald (17 September 1859), 12: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13030882; [Advertisement]: "NEW BALLAD", The Sydney Morning Herald (26 September 1859), 1: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13031202; "THE QUEEN OF THE WEST", Empire (28 September 1859), 8: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article60400456

But compare with Blockley's Cushla Machree (Oh! Erin my country") unknown edition; perhaps that, along with "Molly Asthore", "as sung by Miss Catherine Haydes", also "Miss Catherine Hayes's most popular song", published by Woolcott and Clarke, Sydney, 1855); see: [Advertisement], The Sydney Morning Herald (27 October 1855), 8: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article12982951; also [Advertisement], Empire (20 October 1855), 2: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article60167241

Perhaps this posthumuous edition [1859] was produced from Lavenu's papers, assumed by Packer to be a completely original song.
