i VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE. 



HE wislijil to hold iin t fiice, 

 But that could never be. 

 The man without a country 

 Was bettor cff than he. 



HIS views upon all questions 

 Wcri_ eminently sound. 

 Their wisCum could be never 

 With candidacy crowned. 



HIS public life was spotless. 

 His hearth a niDdel sweet. 

 His bearing in a crisis 

 Appropriate and meet. 



WHY could he not be chosen 

 To bear his party's torch? 

 He lived in an apartment 

 And hadn't any porch.

 Renews the life of joy In happiest hours
