It is extremely unlikely that you have seen it before : — ON THE LIBKARIE AT CAMBRIDGE. In that great maze of books 1 sighed and said : "It is a graveyard, and each tome a tombe ; Shrouded in hempen rags, behold the ■dead Coffined and ranged in crypts of dismal gloom ; Food for the worm and redolent of mold, ■ Traced with brief epitaph in tarnished gold. Ah, golden lettered hope ! Ah,dolorons gloom ! Yet, 'mid the. common death, where all is cold, • ' ' And mildewed pride in desolation dwells, . A few great immortalities of -old Stand brightly forth — not toinbes but living shrines, ' w ' ' ■"■■?'■'■ Where from high sainte or martyr' virtue wells ; . . . Which on the living yet work miracles, Spreading a relic wealth richer than golden mines'. / This is^poor Miltonian ; but it .was first published in 1628, and written, (probably) when the poet was a very young man, before the darkness had matured his gift of splendid' song. It is interesting, as the unknown work of any great man must be. Such are the spoils f>f the student.' There fs joy mi a discovery of good. TJie^ fact is proved every day> in the experience of the happy people who, having wasted money on inferior teas for years, restore their systems and rejuvenate their minds by trying , "SURATURA." The result is invariably the same. The man or .woman who once drinks SURATURA TEA is never again content with inferior stuff. CASH FOR_TALLOW.
