CONGRESSMAN EDWIN C. BURLEIGH of Augusta.

"THE

Governor"-you know him? Perhaps you think you do, For he's a man of easy access, with a hcart that's kind and true; But he's had his high ambitions and his worthy ends and aim And he's fou~ht his way unaided, to the upper hall of fame. He has won by perseverance; by tile knack of doin~ things: By the zeal of his devotion to the higher reasoning'S; By the art of close attention to the people, small and great; And by honest consecration to the service of the State1;'or no request's by Ilim neglected and no duty left undone And he's hustling for the People, from the dawn to set or sun. In the higher sense. a statesman is a man, of vision clear. Who sees the Future. from the Present, and knows when to hope or fear; \Vho, unshaken by the tempests, stands eroot-a Northern PineSo, the Governor is constant; so he stands, thru storm and shine.
