The late Arson A. Nicholson of Rutland
was for years resident of Wallingford,
where he still has relatives and many
friends that will long keep his memory
green. Mr.. Nicholson was q poet of no
little fame, and several fine productions of
his are published. The following scrap is
the last he ever wrote and was found writ
ten on two scraps of paper and pinned
together, penclled after he took his bed.
1t is not only of interest as being the last
effort of his poetical talent, but il has an
intrinsic value as poem in its happily con-
structed measures and perfect rhyme. 1t
also shows how tenderly sacred be trea-
sured olden time friendship. Who Madge
was his dearest friends may know. Per-

seeing these lines first learn that the bard
has passed 'the rivers misty verge" The
lines are too good to be lost in the opinion

Mid the alderS rank and large,

On the brooklet'S sandy marge.

Shadowy forms around me hover,
Wind like phantoms so and come.
