and to those contemplating a trip to
the Worlds Fair, could not go through
finer scenery, or a more beautiful sec
ton of the country, than the one this
route affords. From Washington to
the Alleganey Mountains, the scenery
is ever-changing; through a rugged
country which marks the site Of manv
bloody strife during our civil war:
over the placid waters of the Potomac.

tivial nature.
II Penseroso' brings out the other seri-
ous and thoughtful side of life.
| These are the works of his seclusion at
Horton; they are drawn from the great
poets fancy and imagination. not from his
personal observation. Some one has said,
His joy is without frivolity his pensive
thoughtfulness was without gloom. They
are intellectual studies of emotion, not its
irrepressible usterances."
The great historian, Hume, said. ut is
certain that this author, when in happy
mood, and employed on noble subject,
is the most wonderfully sublime of all the
poets of the language"
His time spent on the languages had
not been in vain, for in the composition
of Latin and Italian verse, Milton has had
no rival in the history Of literary work in
England. His classics truly are classics,
and in them we have all the beauty of
ancient rhyme. Shakespeare, Spencer,
Sidney. and the inferior poets had writ
ten sonnets, some of high degree of
beauty, but it was reserved for Milton to
transplant into his native country the
Italian sonnet in the highest form. He
has seldom chosen the subject Of love J;
religion, patriotism and domestic affection
are his favorite themes and most of them
are ennobled by that sublime gravity
which was characteristic Of his mind
The man who could do all this was not
without reputation, although as yet his
name was not very widespread Time was
beginning to make him realize the great
future that was before him. He was to
occupy position in the history of the
world, which had never before been
filed.
Many a time during his years of study
had he expressed desire to visit the con-
tinent and at last his long cherished idea
was about to be realized. He went for a
pleasure trip, and great men gave him in
PRODUCTION to great men in the cities
which he proposed to visit in France, It
ally and Switzerland and he received every
respect which was due him. This was in
1888.

sionate tondness for the art, the rhythm
Of his verse bears ample testimony.
Here we see that he gave up all else for
that self discipline. which he gained by
the most difficult kind of work. For one
to sit down and devote his time to some
thing utterly distasteful is task from
which we would all shrink and yet he
kept on, never wearying never firing Of
the drudge he had undertaken. His
music, too. must have aided him much,
for it could not but have the effect of
bringing out all that was refined and Gull
tured. 1t must also have spoken to him
of human feelings, which he SO beautifully
portrayed in after years. It must have
awakened him to the good and true,
to the beautiful in nature. revealed on
evety side around him.
During this time he had not been idle,
and among his works of these years the
most Important are 'L'AlIegro,v I'll Pen
serosop "Comus,1 the "Arcades, and
"Lycidas." This last poem was fercely
condemned by notable men of the day,
and Samuel johnson declared that, mo
one could have fancied that he read Ly-
cidas' with pleasure had he not known its
author"
Or. Backus says, "Bnt few who read the
poem viii accept such criticism. For

beauty Of imagery il answers to atrue pc

"L'Allegrof aud u Penaeroso" are two
