HON. JOHN R. WEBBER, MAYOR OF AUBURN.
T speaks a lot for fellowship: it's better far than fame.
When your fellow townsmen e:reet you by the handle of your name;
And it's not wholly unimportant, nor too small to dwell upon,
That the Mayor's partner's "Johnnie," while the Mayor's always "John."
For he's won Ius spurs by workiIl2', in a quiet, nlodest way;
By building up a business on the plan that's built to stay.
And he's done the same in social life, in politics, of course;
In masonry, he's filled the chairs with dil?:Dity and force;
And wherever you may travel, the imprint you will find
Of the Merrill-Webber print-shop--"the same old honest kind."
So I hold it far from trivial, that things that spell "success"
AI'e the fIwts of perseverance and unremitting friendliness.
