HON. WILLIS E. PARSONS OF FOXCROFT.

HE gentleman from Foxcroft." I hear the Speal.:er say, "The Senator [rom Piscataquis," the years have passed away. But memory quickly serves me, the pictul'e to recall, Of hinl, who stood to answer, to the parIimentary call, I have seen and heard hOO often, and ha,-e always felt the Man; The power of his logic or the wisdom of his plan. In the courts, the House or Senate, he's been faithful, thru and thru. Consistent and coherent, fervent, stron~ and true. The modern times are calling for a modern Idnd of lllan, Who l'ooognizes duties, on the altruistic plan; Who would seek to find such resource, as Dame Natm'e Idndly gives And is de~"oted to the service of the people where he lhres. Such is Parsons, up at Foxcroft, who hasn't simply practiced law But who's pushe(l as hard for business. as any man you ever sawNot the business of his office, but the business of his townFor the mill, the shop, the power-plant that makes the wheels go round, And I esteem it quite a marvel when a busy lawyer can

F ind his happy a"ocation, in such an alU'nistic plan.
