BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS WITH EQUAL SENSE.

The clever "puzzle editor" of 'London Truth 1 exercises immense ingenuity m providing entertainment for his readers. He offered a prize for " sentences making sense whether read backwards or forwards." Here are several sent m : — • Diess slowly fading day ; winds mournful sigh. Bright stars are waking ; Flies ewlet, hooting, holding reveleth, Nightly silence holding. Solomon had vast treasures— silver and gold things precious. Happy and rich and wise was he. Faithfully served he God. She aits lamenting sadly, often to much alone. Dear Harry,— Devotedly yours remain I. Have you forgotten L2O cheque ? Beply immediately, please, and hand to yours, — Grace Darling. Man is noble and genetfous often, but sometimes vain and cowardly. Carefully boiled eggs are good and palatable. Love is heaven and heaven is love, youth says. All beware! says age. Trying is poverty and fleeting is love. Badly governed and fearfully troubled now is Ireland. Adieu, darling! Time flies fast; Bails are set, boats are ready. Farewell ! Exercise take, excess beware ; Rise early and breathe free air ; Eat slowly ; trouble drive away ; Feet warmish keep : blend work with play. Matter and mind are mysteries. Never mind. What is matter? Matter is— never mind. What is mind ? Mind is— never matter. Honesty and truth are good and admirable qualities, as sympathy and love are endearing traits. Politics and religion avoid arguing m. Here is good and sound advice. Scandalous sooiety and life znnke gossips frantic.
