“They make a great ado nowadays about hard times; but I think that ... this general failure, both private and public, is rather occasion for rejoicing, as reminding us whom we have at the helm,that justice is always done. If our merchants did not most of them fail, and the banks too, my faith in the old laws of the world would be staggered.”

“Lo! he babbles of the fish-frys of long ago,
Of the horse-races of long ago at Clarys Grove,
Of what Abe Lincoln said
One time at Springfield.”
