A history of the emblem of the codfish in the hall of the House of representatives . tellsyou of victories on sea and land which history crownswith lustrous and unfading glory, which our proudState tells over as among her priceless jewels, whichchildren and children yet unborn shall learn and tellto others with heightening cheeks and brightened us never say — we, sons of the weaver, the car-penter and the fisherman—that the day of small thingsis to be despised; that the lowly and plain conditionof our fathers is to be forgotten, or that anything forwhich they cared or which they preferred is not worthyof us.
