Here is a sonnet by John Milton. It is extremely unlikely that you hay« seen it before — On the Library at Cambrig*. In that creat maze of books I sighed ana 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 tho worm and redolent of mold. Traced with brief epitaph in tarnished gold. Ah, golden lettered hope! Ah, dolorous gloom I Yet, 'mid th© common death, whore all is cold. And mildewed pride in desolation ] dwells, A few great immortalities of old Stand brightly forth — not tombes but living shrines, Where from high sainte or martyr virtue wells; Which on the living yet work miracles, Spreading a relic wealth "icher than golden mines. This is poor Miltoniau; but it was first published in 1628, and written (probaDly) when the poet was a very young man, before the darkness haJ matured his gift of splendid song. It is interesting, as the unknown work of any great man must be. Such are the spoils of the student. There is joy in a discovery of good. The fact is proved every day in tho experience of tho happy people who, having wasted money on inferior teas for years, restore their systems and rejuvenate theii minds by trying — " SURATURA." Th« result is invariably the stune. Tho man or woman who once drinks SURATURA TEA is never again content with inferior stuff. AUSTIN BEWLEY, SOLICITOR.
