FIVE MINUTES oRATfoN.

Brother Edgar, on the stand,
A rohle. looking, little man.
Held forth in living cOlors bright,
Democracy is very right;
Yet representative il sure must be, 81.
In this the land of liberty.
No common lawyer that we know,
Could ever yet tie ifference show;
\ Philadelphia lawyer sure must be,
Could ever yet. the difference see.
Peace societies. in other lands.
Have raised IL standard and demands
No more of war. let nations see.
All have a right to liberty.
BY arbitration doth propose,
TO settle war. by friends or foes;
But never yet could ere be found,
A substitute to heal the wound.
His time neing up, of course he stopped,
And therefore let the subject drop.
DISCUSSION AFFIRMs THAT AMERICA WILL
STAND.
Bowman. no" upon the floor, ...
Ill prepared. as heretofore,
Headache. is hateful thing,
1t also hindcrS folks to sing;
Cigars too. as well as snuff,
Makes 4 fellow sick enough.
Mid all complaint. we see him sail.
Sublime, descriptive. mid the wall;
Rivers. harbors. 10, the scene.
The landscape dressed in living green,
Our country vast. its mines and ore,
Reaches in abundant store,
America so grand and tree.
A home tor all just come and see.
Those who have crossed the briny deep,
Have found in her sure retreat.
Afraid, it seemed to branch out more,
Lest he might exhaust his store,
wound up and then just took his seat,
For other arguments to meet.
The best of Presidents we state.
Because he alwas keeps them straight.
NEGATIvE-THAT AMERICA MUST FALL.
Brother Pdrlett. only see,
Stands forth amid the company,
Modest. bashful in his way,
Never tries to make display.
Yet what was said was good enough,
But slightly did the subject touch;
Paste-board. paper. he may need,
To get along with greater speed.
We speak for him in after life,
One who may make faithful wife.
Affirmative-That the nation will not
tall.
Brother Smalley, cracky ho!
Never fails to please them so. =
AS usual stands and spreads his sail,
AlOft, amid pleasant gale.
The government without Il halter,
Firm as the rock Gibralter;"
speaker may be very nervous,
Yet also do the subject service;
a disayreeable necessity.
May clog the speaker. only see.
Smiling, peaceful, conscientious.
He doubts awhile ami then he ventures
Methinks while there TO see him stand
He never thinks of" throw ing sand.'
Mid all perpleXing trying troubles,
| Breaks through these numerous MFG hty
bubbles.
And now unshackled. mid the throng,
Puurs fresh his euquence so strong.
Our country is glorious land.
Its lofty mountains fuil of sand,
And yet. perhaps, We'll see the day,
Annexed to this Canada.
Still further yet, may see enfold,
A Cuba, Mexico of old.
Add to this mighty living wonder.
Our wholesome laws untorn asunder,
Its Senators and Judges all.
And citizens both great and small:
School teachers, let the echo bound,
Throughout the spacious earth around
Railroads and steam are spreading wide
Telegraphic wires by their side;
Oregon. and Texas too.
Among the family is true.
Rock bound oceans, swelling waves,
Old Kentucky's mighty cave;
Niagara with its splendid fall,
Included yet along with all.
A mightier, grander, sublimer scene,
OF States united. n 'er was seen.
, Slavery with its CALLING chain,
In fair Columbia cannot reign;
Tell it 200, without joke,
That negroes have right to vote.
The sound of war throughout the land
United In a social band,
Remembering one of days of old,
In times of Socrates As told,
May spiders henceforth weave,
Their cobwebs on our banners and OF
| shield,
, ''Phose who sleep in the arms of Peac
| Do not start at the sound of the trumpe
: And nothing interrupts their slumbel
But the peaceful Growing OF the ioostel
Sons of Temperance in the line.
'Mong them entraced the femme;
!. md would you more of zeal demand,
Bible Societies in the land.
Religions papers far and witle,
i Tract Societies by their side.
AssyluIns for the poor and blind,
With other natives not behind.
Mark well his feet little spread,
o Both hands raised so near his head,
J. LAUNDERING eloquence, yet more Al
more,'
