TIMES GO BY TURNS.


The following beautiful poem, by Robert South
well who was born in 1860 and executed at Ty-
burn in 1896, is, in compactness of thought and
felicity of expression, hardly equalled by any
similar production within our knowledge. 1t is a
perfect mosaic of maxims, and, with slight atera-
tons, would bear cutting up into lines, every one
ofwhich would serve an apothegm;
The Topped tree in time may grow again;
Most naked plants renew both frnit and flower +;
The sorriest wight may find release from pain;
The driest soil sucks in the moist'ning shower !;
Times go by turns, and chances change by course
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.
The sea Of fortune doth not ever flow,
She draws her favors to the lowest ebb-
Her tides have equal times to come and go,
Her loomd doth weave the fine and coarest web
No joy SO great but runneth to an end,
No hap SO hard but may in fine amend
Not always full of leaf nor ever Spring
Not endless night nor yet eternal day;
The saddest birds season find to sing,
The roughest storm calm may soon allay.
Thus, with succeeding terms, God tempereth all,
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall.
A chance may win that by mischance was lost
The net that holds not great takes little fish;
In some things all, in all things are crossed
Few all things need, butnone have all they wish;
Unmingled joys here TO no man befall;
Who least hath some, who most hath never all.
The weekly Anglo-African., 1860-07-07

/ was close student at school, a young,
ambitious lad of sixteen, somewhat home
spun, but strong in uprightness, and con-

1t was stormy day in January; the snow
had fallen two feet deep, and l started for
my home, eight miles distant. My father
had written to me that he wanted to see
me; he wanted to give me injunction after
INDUCTION not to forget my duties to him in
the care of his wife-my mother. He need
not have sent it; | could not, never can,
forget him or her. His desire to see me,
growing out of feeling that he might at
any hour "pass onward" and to give me
counsel was natural, but not necessary.
But his slightest wish was law to me, and
started for home, as have said, on foot.

TIE IMPORTANCE OF WRITTEN MEDICAL

well known botanical doctor was called in
to prescribe for man who kept for sale
all kinds Of dogs. The patient was great
believer in herbs and botanical productions,
and was indeed very i'll. The doctor felt
his pulse, and as he was leaving the room
said, ooh, cheer up, Mr.. Jones; III send

all right again. | want to find your wife,"
TO the latter, whom he met on the stairs,
he said, ''Mrs. Jones, I'll be back here
again very shortly, and meanwhile make
your husband large bowl of poppy-head
tea"
The wife of the sick man was German
woman, and did not exactly understand
what was wanted. In the evening, when
the doctor returned, he asked:
"Well, Mrs. Jones, have you done as
orded you to do?"
"To be sure, doctor"
."Well, how does it operate ?"
"Operate, sirp / can't tell, but I am
sure Sam will kill me when he gets

We have before listened to the homely tale Of
the liberated slave, but it did net impress US as
does this narrative of Douglass, for the reason
that we we're left to supply the commentary which
is here pressed upon US by one who has both seen
and felt what he relates The story bears through
out the impress Of truth, and the manner in which
it is told stamps the writer as man of genius and
high order Of talent.-OhiO State Journal
This is splendid work. The personal worth of
the author, the deserved popularity he has secured
throughout this nation, and the universal desire
that prevails to have memento of one of natures

Spring was busy in the woodlands,
Climbing up from peak to peak,
As an old man sat and brooded,
With flush upon his cheek.
Many years pressed hard upon him,
And his living friends were few,
And from out the sombre future
Troubles drifted into view.
There is something move one strangely
In old ruins grey with years,
Yet there's something far more touching
In an old face wet with tears.
And he sat there sadly signing
Ger his feebleness and wrongs,
Though the birds outside the window
Talked of summer in their songs.
But, behold, a change comes Ger him:
Where are all his sorrows now2
Could they leave his heart as quickly
As the eloom-clouds left his brow?
Up the green slope of the garden,
Past the dial, he saw run,
Three young girls with bright eyes shining
Like their brown heads in the sun.
There was Fanny, famed for wisdom,
And fair Alice, famed for pride,
And one that could say "Uncle,"
And said little else beside.
And that vision startled memories
That soon hid all scenes of strife,
Sending floods of hallowed sunshine
Through the rugged rents Of life.
Then they took him from his study,
Through lone lanes and tangled bowers,
Out into the shaded valleys,
Richly tinted DER with flowers.
And he blessed their merry voices,
Singing round him as he went,
For the sight of their wild gladness
Filled his own heart with content.
And, that night, there came about him
Far-off meadows, pictured fair,
And old woods in which he wandered
Ere he knew the name of care;
And he said, "These angel faces
Take the whiteness from ones hair"

From Hon VIM. Jay to the author
"Your analysis of the slave laws is very able,
and your exhibition of their practical application
by the Southern Courts evinces great and careful
research. 1t is more easy to make
than to refute charge of exaggeration against a
work of fiction, like Mrs. Stowes; but your book
is as impregnable against such charge as Eu-
elid's Geometry since, like that, it consists of
propositions and demonstrations. The book is not
only true, but it is unquestonahly true"
