THE MEMBERSHIP RIVER.

THE MEMBERSHIP RIVER. (By James Shepard.) One thousand feet above the sea
 There stands a mountain grand; It's back divides the falling rain By slopes on either hand. Of two drops one flows westerly
 Through Southington to run The other east through Meriden,
 Then north to Kensington. From Hanging Hills to White Oak Eight times the rains divide, Into as many little brooks
 AdoWn that eastern side. When into one a number of
 These little brooks deliver, They make that stream which now is
 called
 The Mattabeset River. This Indian name for Middletown The whites bestowed on me, But formerly my Indian name
 Was known as Se-be-the. That former name has been displaced By Matta besett's own, The name of Sowheag's naughty
 tribe,
 And place that was their home. My head belongs to Meriden
 That twice has damned my main, And raised a plant in Berlin, where It pumps me back again. The name of Percival did fall
 Upon a lovely glen, Where busy mills and water wheels Made work for many men. And lower down, where J. T. Hart A line of hardware made, The Paper Goods, now my first shop, Has built up quite a trade Two lesser brooks, with lesser
 streams,
 To old New Britain run, And give to me the longest branch Of all that to me come. The Indians roamed each branch of
 mine,
 They camped within our town, Their workshop with it's impliments Near Linwood street was found. Brocksiepers hardware shop was Below Rhodes Ice House pond While Mill street owes it's present
 name To Burr's mill, on beyond. And higher up, far to the south, Within the mountain wood, There still remains, the wall and
 dam
 Where Warmers saw mill stood Tn olden times. among the rocks, A dam and mill they'd cram On brooks so small, that now they're
 not
 Considered worth a dam. This branch of mine, though busy
 once,
 Is now without a mill, By Christian Lane it makes it way To where our sewer beds spill Few other rivers in our state
 So many branches show Where water for so many miles Takes on a northern flow. My flow from Panther Swamp Is
 north,
 From Shuttle Meadow too. The Ice House brook, moves norther1y The Country Clubs land through. My main flows north for some five
 miles, Then towards the east doth bend, And thus takes all the various brooks Which have a northern end From Meriden's big reservoir, To Berlin's Lower Lane, The Blue Hill brook a northern Doth follow in the main. From Lamentations northern slope A branch of mine doth flow, Where North, for governmental use, | Made pistols long ago. The Belden and two Westfeld brooks, l And Newfield brooks again; Rock falls and other brooks of mine, | This northern course maintain. East Berlin takes it's power from me And then my work is done, For there I cease to have the fall A fact'ry wheel to run. My level raised a hope to see, That which I never shall, S1nce Uncle Sam finances not New Britains barge canal.

forts TO secure larger appropriations

There Is little doubt that Mayor
