"We received a poem for publication, a few days 

 ago, which lack of space prevents us from presen- 

 ting to our readers. It is entitled, ''A Sonnet 

 to a Bird" and informs the said bird that man 

 is tired of walking and has intentions on the 

 feathered creatures means of locomotion. 

 We cannot refrain from quoting the last verse; 

 " Kind bird, contemplate with satir'd calm, 

 This phase of man's inventive mind; 

 For success in this, at least as yet, 

 Is an all absorbing, vain, regret." 

 Judging from the style we suggest that the au- 

 thor is the originator of a "new school". 





The above need not neccessarially cause anyone 

 to refrain from breaking forth into rhyme, w e 

 appreciate virtue, no matter 'though deeply 

 hidden.
