  Oh, we will have a merry time When, at the polls this fall, We vote for “honest Abraham,” Who is so slim and tall. It don’t make any difference, A noble captain he will be, And Hamlin will be mate. Oh, a jolly good crew we’ll have, A jolly good crew we’ll have— A jolly good crew we’ll have on board This staunch old Ship of State. We’ve shipp’d until the voyage is through— We never shall back out; The “Little Giant” of the West We certainly shall rout: And then there’s Breckenridge and Bell, Fine fellows they may be— They’ll wish they had’nt run agin This rail-splitter you’ll see. Oh, a jolly good crew, etc. Then wide awake, the cry will be For “Abe” and Hamlin too, For we’re the boys that can excel, And that we’re bound to do. They talk about the “Squatter clause,” That’s “played out” long ago— It’s used for home-con-sump-shi-on, And there it is no go. Oh, a jolly good crew, etc. A Valuable Book for every Family. decoration EXTEMPORANEOUS DISCOURSES. BY REV. E. H. CHAPIN, D.D. First Series. One Volume, 12mo. Price $1. decoration The subjects treated in these able and truly eloquent discourses are:
decoration “One peculiarity of these Discourses is, that they present no distinct characteristics which would render them objectionable to Christians of any denomination, while the matter they contain can not fail to meet with the highest approval of all truly Christian minds and hearts.”—Life Illustrated. “They abound in bursts of spontaneous eloquence which it is not easy to preserve under the process of elaborate composition.”—New York Tribune. “They are valuable to all mankind in one respect, that they not only teach spiritual truth, but touch the sources of spiritual joy. The power of some preachers paralyzes, that of Mr. Chapin inspires. All the strength he possesses he communicates; he not only announces good principles, but quickens good motives.”—Boston Transcript. “They are remarkable performances, admirable in spirit, full of earnestness, persuasive, and powerful.”—The Welcome Guest, Boston. “Almost every page we have turned might be cited in illustration of the first qualities of extemporaneous address.”—Christian Examiner. “We are quite sure that his extemporaneous efforts are not inferior in their effect upon the hearer to his more carefully prepared discourses; and we should not be surprised if it proved that in their printed form they were more sought for and read than his other works.”—Albion. decoration Sent by Mail, postpaid, on receipt of $1.
