THE SONNET.

TIE 0ONNEls
What is a sonnet? 'Tis the
pearly shell
That murmurs Of the faroff MUIR
muring sea.
A precious jewel carved most
cuIfously.
1t isoa little picture painted well.
What is a sonnet? 'Tis the tear
thatfell
From great poets hidden &c
stasy,
A two edged sword. song, a
star-ah, me,
Sometimes a heavy tolling funer-
al bell.
This was the fame that shook
with Dante's breath,
That solemn organ whereon Mil
ton played
And the clear glass where
Shakespeare's shadow falls.
A sea this is beware who ven
tureth!
For, like a ford. the narrow floor
is laid
Midocean deep to the sheer
mountain walls.

It is impossible to determine the
exact date of the celebration until II
as learned the exact time the president
can make his visit. and a definite an
swer can not be had until some time
after his Inauguration. 1t is hoped to
have him present as long as possible
and 1t has been suggested that he
might travel down the river after the
visit here accompanied by the fleet
,of boats.
The celebration as held on the riv-
err will not only prove a wonderful Inn
petus in the hydro-electric power de-
velopment but will bring the Missis-
sippi river again into the place OF
prominence in navigation she former
ly held.
Every effort will be made to make
the celebration one of the entire Mis-.

One of the many plans that has
