A TRIBUTE TO A COMRADE GONE
BEFORE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL Is there
of tribute for my old comrade and dear friend,
Alfred Emery Nickerson, who has crossed the
river before me? 1t was my lot aud privilege
to form an early acquaintance with Comrade
Nickerson. l attended two terms of school
taught by him in the good old town of Prospect
before the Civil war, served in the same COM
pany and regiment with him and found him
gooG soldier and true friend. He served his
country faithfully. standing by the old flag
when its folds hung upon single thread. Com
rade A. E. Nickerson enlisted from Swanvie
as Sergeant in Co. E. 18th Maine Volunteers,
July, 1862 and was mustered into the U. S.
service, Aug. 25th, at Bath, Me. He took
part in every battle that the regiment was en-
gagged in until May 9Th, battle of the Wilder
ness. where he wounded. He was pro-
NOTED to Co. B. and commanded that company
until the close of the war and was mustered
out May, 1866, with his regiment. He has a
gallant war record. Always ready for any
duty assigned him. l could say more of his
bravery and daring as l have lived very near
to him for nearly sixty years.
After coming home Comrade Nickerson
served his town, county and State just as faith
fully as he had served his country. He was
, temperate in all the walks Of life, man to be
depended upon when in need. What more can
we say of him? He has gone from our midst.
The places that knew him in the past will
know him no more. Let US respect and honor
his memory; and,my dear old Comrades, let US
strive to live SO near to each other that when
our time comes to 60 it maybe said ofsus, as
can well be said of him-well done. good and
| faithful servant. A. STINSoN.

'Mong the hordes from out the hive,
Mid the fierce, terrific strife,
With the cinder, smoke and flame
With no idle thirst for fame;

Looking God square in the face,

Working with my one horse dray;
Never dreaming to the last
OF the brittle threads of caste,
With no thought, or wish to speak
Of party, race Or clique.

Just to you who 'scaped the blast,

When the fiery angel passed.;

'Tis message blazing through me
From some other lips than mine.

AS you look for sins forgiven
Through your own or others blood,
AS you hope for homes in heaven
All secure from fire and flood,
Let your memories go back
To the fiery angels track,
Aid comfort, cheer and bless
Each poor mortal in distress,
Who fell beneath the blast
In that midnight
Of October,
In the year of '65,
When Gods fiery angel passed
Through that city as she lay
Like virgin on the bay.
