Premiership and How 1t Ended run as
follows
II "'Twas somewhere forty years ago.
As old time says in moments slow,
There lived within quiet nook
Beside a restless babblng brook
YOUTH a boy, he must be then,
About the age perhaps of ten.
He struggled or ffkc most all boys
With kites and drums handsleds and toys
, Mid farming scenes and school and book
He spent his teens aud lessons took;
About this time, az always will
There came a longing void to fill.
What there was wrong he ne'er could tell,
Till on his mortal vision fell
One girsh form. Dear me-" said George
g now this burden will disgorge;
I'll start right off aud Celia tell
How without her feel unwell,
How as a man can't succeed
