QLYDESDALE SCHOOL BALL. CARNARVON HALL. FRIDAY, 29th JUNE. Double ticket 5s extra lady 2s 6d. TOM McKENZIE, Chairman. Another Milton Sonnet. Here is a sonnet by John Milton. It is extremely unlikely that you have seen it before : On the Librarie at Cambridge. In that great maze of books I sighed and said: u 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, dolorous 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 tombes but living shrines, Where from high sainte or martyr virtue wells I Which on the living yet work 1 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 of the student. There is joy in a discovery of good. The 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 SU BATURA TEA is never again content with inferior stuff. rpHE ONLY GRAMAPHONE (Trade Mark—“ His Master’s Voice ”) Which Melba, Caruso, and other great Artists sing for. The Greatest; Living Artists of the World This is convincing evidence that the Gramophone is the Best. Catalogues post free to any address. A Large Stock of RECORDS at Wellington Prices.
