he had his first Attack,
He went off his Feed and moaned In

Little Eugene had gone h{ushy on the
Lady who taught his Sunday-school Glass.

In a Duel and carry Loved One off to a
lonely Island where they could live CRU

and also a little Coup!et to the effect
that as sure as the Vine grows round the
Stump she was his little Sugar Lump.
1de picked her Currants for her and

Eugene pined away for a couple OF Days
