First chapter second Chronicles
And 1t came to pass in the fourth aud
last year of the reign of King Grover
c, that some Of the tribes Of Patriarchs
assumed warlike attitude and rea-
soned among themselves that festive
sport known only to the ancients
should be disinterred and rejuvinated.
And 1t came to pass that one tribe
more fierce and warlike than any in the
land of the Pharoahs did rise up and
council among themselves, and did dis
patch messenger from the land Of
broad meadows and deep valleys be-
yond Bedels bridge, called Newbury
saying fOrsooth We PiermOntites the
chief of our tribe will lead his hosts
against thee and our craftiness we will
match against thine is sport known
since the world stood as base bawl.
The chief Of this warlike tribe was
priest after the order of Melcheserdick
and was called Harrywilder, and his
warriors were Edparo the slick,
Grampgoodwin the hitter, Willmeserve
the tall, Billbass, Irvinjonson, the
learned, Ralphbuxton the right bower,
Clifbailey the joker, and Leonardjon-
son the good Samaritan. Selah!
And it came to pass in those days
that the skye was heavy and the firma-
ment was exceeding lowry and the rain
did fall in gentle torrents all over the
land OF PiermOnt and when the wheels
OF the chariot were heard afar off.
CONSERVATION was in the tents of the
Piermontites and they sent out spies
fleet of foot and hard of heart, and
they did Immediately return in great
fear and fright, and say unto the eld-
ers of the fiermontites behold the
High priest Harrywilder and his war;
like tribe are upon us and they be
armed with base bawl bats and a bawl
that costs forty and two cents, and
their chin music is such as was never
heard throughout all the land of Pier
mont before; Selah! The Piermont-
ties rose up and shook themselves and
went with great speed over into the
land of the Bradfordites across the riv-
er Jordan, and selected therefrom war;
riors, and to Haverhill and begged of
their men of hasten to the rescue Of the
Piermontites. And 10, while the Pa
triarchal warlike tribe from Newbury
did gather in grub at the tent of Grimes,
the Piermontites did hustle themselves
with much hustleness, and gathered a
half score of the best the country
afforded. Moreover the Chief priest
of the Piermontites did reason with the
High priest of the Patriarchal New
buryites saying come in and possess
our land peacably without strife, and
the shedding of blood, and the High
priest was angered and answered say
ing "these mighty men of valor who
are my subjects have not tasted blood
for many mOOns-On to battle. And
it came to pass that the Piermontites
were young men full of much strength
and well skilled in warfare and were
too many for the Patriarchs Edparo
and Willmeserye the much beloved di-
sciples Of Harrywilder the High priest
were wounded in the strife and walled
md CRASHED their teeth, and the
whole tribe of Newburyites were ex-
.eeedingly wroth and rose tlp and with
Ne accord did depart out of the land
of the PiermOntites. Selah!
The day was wet, the boys were blue,
The Newbury Club were spunky, SO were you;
The Piermonts were stronger and knew the shot
Consequently the score stood 10 to ought.
Come again; you gentlemen all,
And when stronger you can bat ball;
And when older you can come up to the dot
