On the evening of March 10. 10 rela-
tives and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. W. l..
Waterhouse gathered at their home at
Lake Dunmore to join with them in the
celebration of their 18th anniversary,
which will long be remembered as one
of the most pleasant occasions one would
wish to attend. The house was filled
with merriment and cheer. Each facial
expression showed harmony and pleas
ure and a most cordial welcome was ex-
tended by the host and hostess, who did
all in their power TO give each one pres
ent the best time possible. The commit
tee had finely arranged program. in
which four little girls took an active
part. Piano solos a I'd encores were re-
sponded to by the Misses Louise Nekon,
Cecile Thomas, Marion and Margaret
Warehouse. All the selections were
well executed, also music was rendered
by others present. About 10 o'clock all
was quiet, while Austin Beach, in a
fitting manner, presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Warehouse with parlor lamp, vase
and handsome chair, gifts from the
friends present. In response, Mr. Water
house, in well chosen words, expressed
their thanks for the gifts; but above
them he priced most the love and esteem
of their many friends. Excellent re-
freshments were served, after which all
joined in singing God Be With You
Till We Meet Again" A most enjoyable
time was reported by all present. and all
hope to be present with them in cele-
brating their 50th anniversary.

self as two shepherd lads brought up
together. 1t is not poem of pass
iouate sorrow and grief it does ex-
press is too often only digni6ed and
intelligent and it is courteous rather
than lament able.
Let us remember however that such
friendship as that of Tennyson and
Hallam, Shelley and Keats, or
Wordsworth and Coleridge, did not
exist between them and that they
were merely school friends. "Prob-
ably Millions own account is suffic-
iently accurate, when due allowance
has been made for the large aud re-
mote phraseology characteristic of
Milton's muse:
"For we we're nursed upon the self
same hill
Fed the same flock by mountain,
shade and rill;
Together both, ere the high lawns
appeared,
Under the opening eyelids of the
morn,
Lycidas follows the usual form Of
pastoral pOetiy, having its intrOduc.
tiou and its epilogue, while between
them is the monody of the shepherd
who has lost his friend. AS Virgil
had copied from the old Greeks so
the Italions of the Renaissance copied
from Virgil also adding an element
of moralizing which verged on satire.
With Renaissance the pastoral can e
to England and reached its height in
the works of Spenser. Lycidas is Of
this same type and is regarded by
some as superior to the "Faerve
Queen. "
There is tone of religious earnest
ness pervading all of Millions poems
which were written while he was at
Horton. In Lycidas 1t takes the
form of fierce denunciation of the
corruption of church and the clergy
describing the former as that "grim
wolf with the privy paw" The bis
hops are the faithless shepherds of
the flock.
"The hungry sheep look up, and are
not fed,
But the time of retributiOn is near
and they will receive punishment.
By common verdict of the critics,
Lycidas is reckoned to be one Of the
very finest poems ever written by
any poet; and that it was never again
matched by Milton himself, is an
opinion equally strongly by held some
critics though not so generally. Mil
ton pays beautiful tribute to his
dead friend, praising him highly.
He recognizes that we are all living
under the pure eye of God, and that
Duty and not selfshness should be
our motto.

from others in this way.

"When done, the tales, to bed they

''heart- easing mirth, "brooding
Darkness, ''wrinkled Care, ~ in L.
Allegro, and "vain deluding joys, "
"divinest melancholy "mute sill
ence," ''deny-feathered sleep in II
Penseroso are examples of this. Mil
ton regarded man as the theme
around which the rest of the poem
should be gronped and therefore he
gave added force to the thought by
personifying these things.
These two poems are the best por-
trait which we could have of Milton
at this time. They prove that he
was a close student of nature and he
must have used his eyes to good ad
vantage for greatly as he depended on
books for his knowledge of nature
he certainly had some intimate ex-
perience of his own while living in
the country sor Horton is situated in
very bsautiful part of England.
They show two moods which he
doubtless felt at different times for
he had made no definite decision yet
as to his future and it must have been
a time Of unrest and disquietude for
him.
Arcades was also written in 1888.
1t was "masque" or mask given in
honor of the SEVENTEEN birthday of
the Dowager Countess Of Derby. A
mask was histornic spectacle, Ital-
ian in origin, which somewhat re-
sembled a drama, ana which was very
popular in England at this time.
When Arcades was written the masks
had fallen off in literary value but it
showed the influence of the earlier
masks and was superior to the bulk
of the work at that time.
Arcades has often been considered
of too little value and has been pass
ed over as a mere understanding for
COmus. This is unjust hover for
though the better is more pretentious
yet Arcades is to all intents and pur-
poses quite as good. Throughout
the poem high level fpoetry and
humanity is maintained; some serene
interest in all things worthy and Of
good report prevails.
The lyrics which were sung in the
mask were very skillfully written
combining with artistic taste, grace
and delicacy with praise to the vener-
able Countess Dowager in whose hon
Or tney were written. In form for
example, Milton was past-master of
the harmony of words but he had but
small skill in little tunes. "His |
was not parlour voice" This was
we'll illustrated in the songs of both
Arcades and Comus. We cannot
ioubt that they were effective in their
proper setting, bat they are never
iung now. Milton's songs the read
II suspects, came from his brain and
conscience by way of his deep-toned
'rgan harmonies and must have over
covered many an unsophisticated
eader. Or with their cOmplexity of
