Excerpt from The Workingman's Companion To those who are not in sympathy with these hapless people he would say, throw all selfishness aside and meditate upon the wrongs imposed upon them in that "Green Isle of the Sea" by the cruel and merciless tyrants of England. About eight years ago the author published a book entitled "The Banks of Susquehanna", but the poems contained in this volume have been written since the publication of the former, with the exception of two, which have been revised and extended, - "The Buckville Blacksmith" and "The Celestial City." As the author never expects to build a mansion nor open a coal mine from the proceeds of this book, but simply to enjoy the fruits of his labors and creep a little higher up the hill of knowledge, he has no apologies to make, no frowns to fear, nor favors to ask except the merited patronage of a free and generous people. The noblest specimen we find In the creative plan Is he who earns his daily bread, We call the workingman.
