TINE RIVER TIME.
BY B. F..TAYLOR.

Oh a wonderful stream is the river Time
AS it runs through the realm of tears,
With a faultless rythm ana a musical rhyme.
And a broader sweep. and surge sublime.
As it blends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow,
And the summers like buds between,
And the years In the sheaf SO they come and go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow.
As 1t glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical Isle up the river Time.
Where the softest Of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical cline,
And song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
The name of this Isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there.
There are brows of beauty. and bosoms of snow,
They are heaps of dust but we loved them SO =
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And q part Of an infants prayer.
There's lutte unswept. and a harp without
strings. s.=vtt
There are broken vows and pieces of rings.
And the garments that she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
n shore
By the mirage is lifted in air.
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
I When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh u remembered-for aye be that blessed Isle,
All the days of our life till night.
When the evening comes with its beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile.
May that Greenwood OF soul be in sight,

THE WALLED LAKE OF IOWA.

The greatest wonder in the State of
Iowa, and perhaps any other State, is
what is called the /" Walled Lake." in
Wright county, twelve miles north of
the Dubuque and Pacific Railroad, and
15Omiles west of Dubuque City. The
lake is from two to three feet higher
than the earth's surface. In some
places the wall is ten feet high, fifteen
feet wide at the bottom and five feet
wide on top. Another fact is the size
of the stones used in construction, the
whole of them varying in weight from
three tons down to 100 pounds. There
is an abundance of stones in Wright
county, but surrounding the lake to
the extent of five or ten miles there are
none. No one can form an idea as to
the means employed to bring them to
the spot or who Constructed it. Around
the entire lake is a belt of woodland
half a mile in length composed of oak.
With this exception the country is
rolling prairie. The trees must have
been planted there at the time the wall
was built. In the spring of the year
1856 there was a great storm, and the
ice on the lake broke the wall in sew
eral places, and the farmers in the vi
cinity were obliged to repair the dam
ages to prevent inundation. The lake
occupies ground surface of $500
acres, depth of water rs great as twenty
five feet. The water is clear and cold,
soil sandy and lOamy. 1t is singular
that no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from nor where
it goes, yet it is always clear and fresh.

JAPANESE PRACTICAL JOKES.

The heather Jap's idea Of a practical
joke is Of ridiculously childish sort,
Judged by the Anglo-Saxon standard.
A reporter of the Toxic Times gives
some illustrations of the fun that can
be had any evening in the streets by a
waggishly inclined individual. He is
to 90 out and look around till he sees
-ss he is very apt to-a poor man
kneeling before booksellers store
reading cheap book, and steal up be-
hind him as the poor book-hunter or
student asks the price. 1t is too high !;
he sadly shakes his head, and the Wis.,
itor is then to 'hold up the stated
amount in clear view of the merchant
If he be quick witted, he will say to
the poor man: well, truly, you
want it very much take it. I will
give it you for nothing and may it be
of service to you.' The poor fellow
suspects jest. is at length convinced
that the merchant means what he says
takes his book and moves away slowly
for while, but presently scooting
with great rapidity, lest the donor re-
pent of his purpose and call him back.
The fun of the thing is obtained by
watching him scoot, not by scootins
yourself and then enjoying the per
pIexity of the merchant, who will be
undecided which to pursue. One OF
-
not Fused to enjoy this sort of prac-
teal joking, aud would give beggar
8 sovereign to zee the mendicant pause
stupefied, and then take to his heels
for fear the donor might discover his
mistake. A number of other practical
jokes are described by the reporter.
The mad wag is to drop coins on the
clothes of sleeping children, buy dolls
for little girls who have broken theirs
and are crying over the fragments, and
then look for q dealer in cake, who
has sour countenance, and has evil
IDENTIFY had a bad nights business.
Now says the reporter, you have
an opportunity of upsetting all his
calculations and knocking his notions
of destiny endwise. There is nothing
more amusing than upsetting cake
dealers calculations and knocking his
notions of destiny endwise. You call
. couple of -urchins who have been
looking at his stock with hungry eyes
and direct them to fall to. The dealers
face is study. He is compelled to
readjust all his convictions respecting
fate and fortune in moment And
this is the heather Jap's idea of a prac-
tical jokei

DON'T WASTE VITAL EN- ERGY.

DON'T WASTE VITAL ENERGY.
The most vigorous persons do not
have too much vitality. People gen.
orally inherit lack; or, at least, find
that much vital energy has been per-
manently lost in their childhood and
youth through the Ignorance or the
carelessness of their parents. Often
it is impaired by wrong indulgences
in early manhood. The endeavor with
all persons should be to husband what
is left, be it much or little. There

WHAT PEOPLE EAT.

Mr.. George T. Angel read a paper
before the American Social Science
Association in Boston, January 8. on
Public Health Associations" in
which he made some startling asser-
tions about the adulteration of food.
He said:
Cayenne pepper is adulterated with
red lead, mustard with chrOmate of
lead, curry powder with red lead, vim
egar with sulphuric acid, arsenic and
corrosive sublimate. 1t is stated that
probably half the vinegar now sold in
our cities is rank poison, One of oul
Boston chemists analyzed twelve pack
ages of pickles put up by twelve differ
ent wholesale dealers, and found cop

SICK HEADACHE.

This complaint is the result Of eat
ing too much and exercising too lit
tie. Nine times in ten the cause is in
the fact that the stomach was not able
to digest the food last introduced into
it, either from it's having been insult
able, or excessive in quantity. A diet
of bread and butter, with ripe fruit or
berries, with moderate and continuous
exercise in the open air, sufficient to
keep up gentle perspiration, would
cure almost every case in q short time.
Two teaspoonsful of powdered char
coal in a half a glass of water and
drank, gives instant relief. We are
inclined to think that the above reno
dies may do in some, but not in all
cases. A sovereign remedy for this
distressing disease is not easily found.
A new correspondent from Connect
cut contributes the following on this
subject: Sick headache is periodical,
comes on at regular intervals, and is
the signal of distress which the stOm-
ach puts out to inform us that there is
an over-alkaline condition of its fluids
that it needs natural acid to restore
battery to its normal working condi-
ton. When the first symptoms OF
headache appear, take tablespoonful
of lemon juice clear, fifteen minutes
before each meal, and the same dose
at bedtime. Follow this up until all
symptoms are passed, taking no other
remedies, and you will soon be able
to go free from this UNIV elcOme nuis-
ance. Many will object to this be
cause the remedy is too simple; but
haye made many cures in this way.

M EMS AGE.

Few men die of old age. Almost
all die of disappointment, passion,
mental or bodily toll, or accident. The
common expression, 'choked with pas
sion,' has little exaggeration in it,even
though not suddenly fatal strong pas
sions shorten life. Strong-bodied men
often die young weak men often live
longer than the strong, fol the strong
use their strength and the weak have
none to use. The latter take care of
themselves !; the former do not. AS it
is with the body,so it is with the mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or, like a candle, to run; the
weak to run out. The inferior ami
mails that live temperate lives have
generally their prescribed number of
years. The herse lives twenty-five; !;
the OK fifteen or twenty; the dog ten
or twelve the rabbit eight the guinea
pig six or seven years. These num-
bers all bear a similar proportion to
the time the animal takes to grow to
it's full size. But man, of all the ami
mails, is one that seldom lives this
average, He ought to live hundred
years according to physical law, for
FIVE time twenty is a hundred; but
instead of that, he scarcely reaches on
an average four times his growing Pc
riod; the cat six times, and the rabbit
even eight times the standard of meas
urement. The reason is obvious-
man is not only the most irregular and
Incorporate, but the most laborous
and hard-worked of all the animals.
He is also the most irritable. and there
is reason to believe, though we can
not tell what an animal secretely feels,
that more than any other animal, man
cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and
consumes himself with fire of his own
secret reflections.

SHALL THE SAHARA BE FLOOD.

M. de Lesseps has just returned from
q trip to Tunis, whittier he went to in
vestigate the possibility and the ad-
visibility of letting the waters Of the
Mediterranean into the desert of Sa-
hara, so as TO convert . great portion
of that desolate expanse into an inland
sea. NJ. de Lesseps says that the Arab
chieftains of the south of the Aures
keep up the tradition of there having
existed in former times a sea in that
neighborhood from five to six hundred
leagues in circumference. He also has
been enabled to disprove the idea that
q formation of new lake would do
away with the oases, for he has dis
covered that these are all from fifteen
to forty metres above the level of the
sea, whereas the desert itself is below
the level. Traces of Roman civiliza-
ton have been found in the desert,
and among them the remains Of an
amphitheater like that in Rome.

THE IRON MASK.


During the seventeen years confine-
ment of this strange prisoner at Sainte
Marguerite, st. Mars, who brought
him to the fortress, was replaced by
Monsieur de Bonpart, as governor.
The daughter of the latter, just emerg-
ing from childhood to womanhood,
grew up with this mystery about her.
She had seen the graceful figure Of
the masked prisoner promenading at
night upon the terrace aud at worship
in the chapel, where he was forbidden
to speak or uncover his face, the SOL
diers in attendance always having their
pieces pointed toward him if he should
attempt to do either. She discovered
that her father always treated him
with respect, serving him bareheaded
and standing. His table service was
of massive silver, his dress of the rich
est velvet, and he wore the finest lin
en- and the most costly lace. She had
heard her father accidentally'speak of
him as 'the Prince No wonder that
his sad fate occupied her thoughts by
day, and his noble figure haunted her
dreams by night.
She, tco, was very young and beau.
tiful, and their eyes occasionally met
IN chapel. He sang beautifully, and
was a very skillful performer on the
guitar. 1t is said she climbed the
rocks under the castle terrace and sang
sweet songs to the poor captive. Thus
romantic love sprang up between
them, and as it gained strength the
young girl dared to purloin the keys
from her father, and SO obtained access
to the prisoner.
When the governor discovered his
child's treachery he was struck with
the greatest dismay. His oath was
binding upon him TO put 10 death i'm
medlately any ohe who had spoken to
the prisoner. But she confessed her
love for him, and pleaded piteously
for her young life. The captive, also
to whom the governor was much at
tached, Joined his prayers to hers, and
implored that they might be made man
and wife, and then the secret would
be safe. The governor was not stern
enough to immediate his child, and per.
haps CLEAN of ambition may have
flashed across his mind as in the event
