of John Milton. ‘‘1‘arudlsc l.ost,” the
greatest ol nil Knglialt epics, wan com
posed by him w hen he was an old man,
jmor, blind, defamed ami forsaken ;
nod yet the line* of that wonderful
]mem at lirst sold for the paltry sum
of a few |*iimds sterling—s|*'ll the
meaning of a literary immortality as
no other line* of their kind have ever
done or are ever likely to do either in
F.nglmid or America To-day the e|v
ili/ed woild rises to do honor to his
memory; for Milton was not only a
pool ol grand and massive quality , taut
tie was also a patriot linn and true, ad
vocatiiiK • lirtstian lllierlv among the
Fngllsli people at a lime when such a
course was fraught with peiil In an
aye ol priestcraft, arrogance and tyran
ny, Ids I'urilan sentiments were uller
ed like a bugle call In the ears of all
Ills countrymen. Those sentiments
have gradually Kniued sway in the
world, and now form the brightest mo
numeiit to tils memory.
Milton's birthplace was In Itread
street, Immlon, in a modest dwelling
which bore I lie sign of the spread eagle
—tile badge of the Milton family—the
date lielng Friday, I tee. W, IHON.Juat ala
week* after ttie birth of Torricelli, the
Italian mathematician, whom Milton
probably met In lttllH when lie went to

went up to l.ondon to seek tils fortune.
Here ire adopted the profession of a
scrivener, doing a business which, in
our day, would lielong to a lawyer's
oltlec, and would demand a liberal
compensation, lie was married about

of »ix children, of whom lliree died in
childhood. Of ttie others, Anne, the
eldest, married a Mr. Agar for tier se

lirttain. Ttie second was the |svet, and
ttie tliirvt, fhristoplier Milton, bom in
HU 6, became a lawyer, amt was dually
raised to tlie distinction of knighthood.
The stern Puritanism of Jolin Milton
the elder, who, in his renunciation of
Catholicism, had suttered much, led
him lo vie vole ids favorite sou and
namesake lo the Christian ministry,
Iml he seems not lo have t<een greatly

w hose early slops in composition gave
so little promise of ultimate fortune, or
ever indicated the ability of earning a

had scanvly put a penny in his purse.

After graduating front ( ambridge,
lie went to live at Horton, ill lluekmg
ham pshire. w here his fat her had taken
up his residence. Here the next five
years of his life were passed in delight
ful seclusion. The tireek and Latin
writers were his favorite companions.
The classical languages were as fami
liar to him as his own, and all his fu
ture work abounds with the fruits of
Ills classical study. The "Allegro’’ and
the "I’enserosn" were written at Hor
ton, also "Cornu*,” and that beautiful
sonnet on the nightingale:
"(> nightingale, that on yon blooming
spray
Warblest at eve, when all the world is
still
Thou with fresh hope the lover’s heart
dost till,
While the jolly hours lead on projmsi
tious May.”
I magtnalive joy and sorrow of a pe
culiarly lender strain characterize each
of these productions; tint as yet the (
joy greatly predominates, and the mu
sic is full of happiest melodies, where
as, later on in life, the reverse becomes

first itishops’ war. was over.
During the next twenty-live years
we almost euluvty lose sight of Miilou
“the poet” in Milton “the patriot.”
His writings, which are numerou*, arc
now in prose. They treat upon the sub
jects of controversial interest winch
belong to Church and SI ate during the
reign of t tiarlea I and the Protectorate
of Cromwell. Hilt Indore that period
was ended Milton had become totally
blind, many of his earlier friends were
dead or had deserted him on account
of |hi|itifill differences. Ills first wife,
who bore him three daughters, but
with whom he never lived happily,
had died In IlioJ. Ills second wife, in
whose memory his most beautiful son
net Is w ritten,w as also taken from him.
Ills home was desolate; his life at times
was in danger from the hand of those
who had executed the regicides, ilis lit
t le children were objects of pity. and he
himself in Ids blindness and widow
hood was smitten with sorrow. Only
through incessant toil did he sustain
himself and break the *|>cll of Ids lone
liness and misery. This bard and al
most cruel experience, however, was
preparing his mind for the greatest
achievement that any Knglish poet
had ever won—the production of the
“Paradise Lust.” It had been in his
pur|mse for many years to write this
wonderful work. At first he pi united
it as a drama. Then he laid it aside,
but now, in the evening of his life, he
returned to the alluring theme, and un
der the form of an epic he breathed it
forth in verse most noble and sublime.
It was sold to a Ismdoii printer on the
nth of April, Ititt7. Its unexpected
publication won him many admirers
and some friends; a part of his early po
pularity in Kngland, when he was a
student at Cambridge and an associate
of royalty, came back to him like a
glow of warmth and light at sunset.
Kven hryden wrote, saying, “Thisman
cuts us all out, and the ancients too.
But the praises of men, created by the
grandeurs of Paradise ls*st, have most
ly fallen on oibereara than those of its
humble author. After its completion
he lived only long enough to write the
“Samson Agon isles” and the “Paradise
Regained, ' and then, tike Knoch of
that ancient world of which he had
thought so much, “he was not fortiod
look him.” The |ioet Wordsworth,
w ho years ago joined him among the
tanka of the immortals, sent up to
Milton's spirit this bright salutation
e'er he himself departed ;
“Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt

Fox**' Scalps and Salvation.
Sonic years ago at a session of the
legislature of Kentucky an effort to
repeal the law offering a bounty on
foxes' sealps was made, tmt was de
feated by the ap|>enl of a member
from a mountainous and sparsely set
tled region. “Do the gentlemen want
to deprive my constituents and me of
the lieneflta of hearing the gosi>el
preached?" he demanded, with indig

his ruggt>d countenance. “We are all

raise chickens unless the foxes are
