TIME GOES BY TURNS.

The following beautiful poem by Robert
Southweli, an English Jesuit born in 1860, and
executed at Tyburn, in 1885, is perfect Mosaic
OF maxims. Almost every line of It would
serve as an apothegm:
The Topped tree in time may grow again;
Most naked plants renew both frlit and
flower;
The sorriest wight may find relief from pain;
The driest soul suck in some moistening
Time goes by turns, ana chances change by
course;
From foul to fair, rom better hap to worse.
The sea OF Fortune doth not ever flow;
She draws her favOrs to the lowest ebb
Hert q - have equal times to come and go;
Her loom doth weave the fine and cOarsest
web;
No JOY SO great but funneth to an end:
No nap SO hard but may III fine amend.
Not endless night, nor yet eternal day;
The saddest birds u season find to sing;
The toughest storm calm may soon aliay.
Thus, with succeeding terms, God TEN .'ereth
all.
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall.
A chance may win that by misehance was
lost;
That net that holds no great takes little fish;
In some things all, in all things none are
crossed;
Few all things need, but none have all they
wish.
Unmingled joys here to no man befall
Who least, hath none; VINO most, hath never

New Arithmetic Questions.

M. Quad, of the Detroit Free Press,
Is about to publish new textbook in
arithmetic, in which will be found the
following questions:
Why is it that man who steals $50
is sent to State Prison, and one who
steals $50, 900 is lionized?
When will young Carlton be ar
rested.
If man receives salary Of SIS per
week, and his wife uses $12 of it for
dress, how many card suppers can they
give per week on the balance and not
run behind the house rent.
If bustles, fOunces, frills and tucks
were removed from this world, what
fashionable woman would have any
object in living.
If an African diamond, costing from
thirty cents to So, is more respected
than fifty-siX ounces Of brains, what's
the use Of having brains?
If an eastern railroad President re-
duces wages twenty per cent. on ac-
count of hard times, and pays $3.50
apiece for silk horse blankets, how
much pork can you buy for forty.five
cents?

4 BLACK. AND. TAN DOG TAcKLEsA TURTLE.

Ifanybody has seen black-and-tan
dog answering to the name of Judge"
going down street in company with a
hard-shell turtle, that won't answer
to anything, and certainly won't an
swer to tackle, as the dog can tell you
ifyou can get him to stop long enough,
please halt the eloping pair. as they
are the property Of the editor OF this
paper. We are fondly attached to the
dog on account of his vagabondish,
BOhemianish habits. He knows
every dog in Peoria by name, and is
on speaking terms with nine-tenths Of
the Granger dogs that come in under
the wagons, and he knows more Of the
inhabitants Of this city than the Tax
Collector does. The turtle is more
recent acquisition. 1t twas placed in the
backyard yesterday, and the dog spent
an hour and half trying to entice 1t
to come out and be. e.sOciable. The old
ironclad maintained his reserve, how
ever, until the dog crammed his nose
against the forward part and began to
sniff. The pair seemed to come to
some sort of an understanding at once,
for the dog made an impetuous remark
on very high key, and they both
started on trip after Donaldson's
balloon. When the dog Jumped over
Fishers barn we thought he had
struck the Eastern current and would
get right through, but we learn since
that he landed and was seen saunter-
ing along like whirlwind, the turtle
staying right by him. We should be
very sorry to lose the dog now, as he
has acquired another important and
valuable quality. He knows more
about turtles than any other dog in the
country, and it's mighty hard to find
q real good turtle dog.-lP Peoria Re-
