 Called "The Thunderer" from an article 
 contributed by Captain E. Sterling, begin- 
 ning: "We thundered forth the other 
 day an article on the subject of social and 
 political reform; " and "The Turnabout," 
 because its politics jump with the times, 
 and are not fossilized whig or tory. 
 
 Tim'lias, King Arthur's squire. He 
 went after the "wicked    foster," from 
 whom  Florimel fled, and   the "foster," 
 with his two brothers, falling on him, 
 were all slain. Timias, overcome by fa- 
 tigue, now fell from his horse in a swoon, 
 and Belphcebe, the huntress, happening to 
 see him fall, ran to his succor, applied an 
ointment to his wounds, and bound them 
with her scarf. The squire, opening his 
eyes, exclaimed, "Angel or goddess; do I 
 
 
call thee right?" "Neither," replied the 
maid, "but only a wood-nymph." Then 
was he set upon his horse and taken to 
Belphoeb's pavilion, where he soon "re- 
covered from his wounds, but lost his 
heart" (bk. iii. 6). In bk. iv. 7 BelphoebA 
subsequently found Timias in dalliance 
with Amoret, and said to him, "Is this 
thy faith?" She said no more, "but 
turned her face and fled." This is an al- 
lusion to Sir Walter Raleigh's amour with 
Elizabeth Throgmorton (Amoret), one of 
the queen's maids of honor, which drew 
upon Sir Walter (Timias) the passionate 
displeasure of his royal mistress, Queen 
Elizabeth, (Belphesbe').- Spenser, Faery 
Queen, iii. (1590).

   Timo'leon, the Corinthian. He hated 
tyranny, and slew his own brother, whom 
he dearly loved, because he tried to make 
himself absolute in    Corinth.  "Timo- 
phgfn~s he loved, but freedom more."

  Who wept the brother while the tyrant bled.

  Timon, the Man-hater, an Athenian, 
who lived in the time of the Pelopon- 
nesian war. Shakespeare has a drama so 
called (1609). The drama begins with the 
joyous life of Timon, and his hospitable 
extravagance; then launches into his 
pecuniary embarrassment, and the discov- 
ery that his "professed friends" will not 
help him; and ends with his flight into 
the woods, his misanthropy, and his death.
