DR. BIGELOW T. SANBORN, Superintendent of the Maine Insane Hospital at Augusta. IT'S a lifetime of devotion to a given cause, that brings To a man full consolation. in leadership of things; It's the authority of study. it's experience and skill And those attributes of purpose and of character and will, That will make a man of genius grow in kindliness and grace, As a blessing to the people mid the sufferings of the race. I don't care to seem effusive but the man, of whom I write. With forty years of honest service to the noblest kind of fight Twenty-five of them director of our greatest public care. Give sufficient invocation to a sermon anywhere. To the world he's "Doctor Sanborn"-a synonym in Maine, For the highest type of knowledge in the care of the insane; But from behind the man of practice comes a Man to our relief Whose sympathies are countless and who shares our every grief.

"I hope I never go there," said a man the other day "But there's one thing that's a comfort, as I view it anyway; For if they ever send me over; I won't give them cause to wait For I'll find one Doctor Sanborn, a waiting at the gate."
