Times Go by Turns.

The Topped tree in time may grow again,
Most naked plants renew both fruit and
flower;
The sorriest wight may find release Of pain,
The driest soil suck in some moistening
shower;
Time goes 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 loom doth weave the fine and coarsest
web;
No joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hap SO hard but may in fine amend
Not always fall of leaf or ever spring,
Not endless night, yet not eternal day;
The saddest birds season find to sing
The toughest storm calm may soon allay
Thus, with succeeding turns, God tempereth all
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall
A chance may win that by mischance was lost {:
That net that holds no great, takes little fish:
In some things all, in all things none are crossed
Few all they need, but none have all they
wish.
Unmngled joys here to no man befall;
Who least, hath some; who most, hath never
all. ROBERT SoUTHwELL

A man who is worth $2CO, 900 pulled out of his
pocket on a street corner yesterday afternoon
certified checks to the extent of $4,000, the

DR.. Mary Walker and the Small Boy.
From the ST. Louis Rep,,bLic.


Some of the pages at the capitol seem to take
keen delight in worrying DR.. Mary Walker when
she makes her appearance there. The doctor is
terrible enemy of tobacco smoke, and it makes
her as mad as a wet hen when anybody smokes
in her presence. To-day q page named johnson,
who is prOtege of Congressman Amos Cum
mings and who is not in the habit of indulging
in cigarettes, procured one of these boy
killers" for the express purpose of annoying Dr.
Mary. She, or lit as this eccentric person Is
quite frequently called, was at the house docu-
ment room for the purpose of procuring several
bills and reports. The youngster with
cigarette in hand marched up to DIR.
Mary and asked for a match. The latter
grew white with rage and raised her umbrella
to chastise the little fellow. The boy with
squirrellke agility sprang up a steep flight of
steps leading to the loft. When he had reached
safe distance he took match from his own
pocket and soon had raised a cloud of smoke.
DR.. Mary abused him roundly and said he was
disgrace to his parents, and added that if she
could get hold of him she would take the cigar
cite away The boy, as he sat gazing at this
female crank attired in a mans complete outfit,
including silk hat, said:
Now look here, Dr. -, didn't you use to
smoke when you were boyS'
The'youngster became holder, and in mo-
ment or two descended from his place on the
iron stairs when the doctor seized the cigarette
threw it on the floor and stamped her boot heel
on it. Then she strutted off as if she had ac-
complished great deed.

The New York Tribune is engaged in a
very energetic attempt to free itself from
any of the responsibility for the recent
scurrilous attack on Mr.. Cleveland. 1t says
that Berry, who wrote the pamphlet, was
not in its employ as late as May 80, and
that for months it has been absolutely
unconscious" of his existence. Neverthe-
less it appears that Berry borrowed $25
from person prominently connected with
the Tribune, and expected to use it to cir
culate the pamphlet in ST. Louis; while
editor Whitelaw Reid is reported to have
been for some time very much interested in
the stories about Mr.. Cleveland, and to
have said: II don't see but we shall have to
have a white house quarrel to break the
force of Mrs. Cleveland's popularity" The
Tribune may have had no connection what
ever with'the matter, but the circumstances
are suspicious.

From Chicago Tribune Boston Letter.
The BARRIERS of Boston are, as a rule, ungodly.
Despite the new law which forbids them to

shops are still kept open seven days in the
week. Nevertheless, they do not work the Sab
bath But they gather in a good day wages
just the same, and the manner in which TINS

10 O'Clock in the morning, the writer was stroll.

Can l get shave this morning?" inquired
the customer wistfully, pausing as he came to
the spot where the gentleman from Senegambia
was standing in picturesque repose.
Yes, sab" replied the latter courteously.
Walk right in. You'll find the implements,
sab, all ready for use at the fourth cheer on de
left"
The newcomer thereupon entered the shop
where he found three other men-all in par
TALLY shaved condition-sitting on the edge OF
as many chairs and applying lather and steer
to their own faces. The situation was quickly
explained by the Ethiopian in charge, who had
followed the late arrival from the sidewalk.
"Y on see, sab, said he, I'VE don't dare shave
nobody Sunday, for fear of ben' locked up,
but dere's no law against lendin a razzer and

II see" responded the applicant, who with
out further delay, seated himself in chair No.
and proceeded to operate upon himself with the
utensils at hand. At the end of twenty minutes
or so, with some incidental laceratlon, he had
finished his task, and the barber having helped
him with his pOat-DrOpppDn1 to brush him

Nothing, sab, answered the knight of the
razor. I'VE should be took up if we asked pay
for services rendered on de Sabbath" AS he
spoke he gave portentous and most express
sive wink

he went out he dropped transformations 10
cents on a little pile of coin near the doorway.
All of which goes to show concusively the in
genuity of an iniquitous generation is too much
for the law and the prophets to contend
against.
