JUSTIN S. MORRILL,.

Written for the Washington Evening Star.
Calm and serene, yet full of native vim:
Bold in his acts, unknowing how to trim;
Strong in his purpose, but each purpose
just;
True to his friends and faithful to each
trust; 4ssvss
Broad in his views andsTdeep as he is
broad
Honest in all things. and detesting fraud;
AS Hampden, eloquent in his country's
cause.
As Scion, wise in formulating laws;
Loving and loyal, and by all beloved;
By man applauded and by God approved;
Age addeth wisdom-years new vigor give;
Long may the Statesman and the Patriot
live.
Like tall pine on some Green Mountain
crest,
Lifting its form IN loving verdure dressed,
High in the Senate-at his oountry's call
He stands, the noblest Roman OF them all.
