The Prohibition Qucsti0n

are doubtless interested in the subject
Of Prohibition, and O word from 9
State which is now applying thai
method of dealing with the liquor
business, may interest them Alcoholic
liquors as used for medical or mechani.
cal purposes need no special attention
from the civil government any more
than wheat or corn; but the fact that
its use as a beverage leads to vice,
crime end widespread evils, calls for
legislative action for its control. But
two methods have been proposed, viz,
license and prohibition. The former
has been tried in every civilized coun-
try in this world. As q method of
lesSening the evils of the business. il
has been CHASTITY failure The licensed

been tried in Maine and Kansas. The

are well satisfied with the result. The
whisky men, bummcrs and cheap poll
ticians, publish far and wide that it is
failure. We scarcely expected to
frame law that would please the
latter parties, and are not disappointed
at their marked displeasure. In fact.
their curses are many and orthodox
In a few of the larger cities tie saloon
element elected officers to not enforce
the law, and in these places nothing
has been done except as compelled by
the efforts of private citizens. In
places where officers have made an
honest effort to do their duty, the law
has been enforced as easily and sue
cessiully as t. e law against stealing.
This is true even in counties that gave
majority against the Prohibitory
Amendment. The last distiler in the
State has closed business and left for
Missouri. He went forth bearing his
gods with him, 900 barrels of whis-
Ky for which he found no market here.
and swearing volubly that prohibition
is failure. All the published reports
OF the failure of the law come from
like source. Al present we are con-
tending against the entire liquor inter-
est of the country. Success here means
success in Iowa next June, then in
Ohio, Pennsylvania and the remaining
States of the Republic The manu-
facturers and wholesale dealers under
stand this and contribute freely to help
break down the law. The question of
Prohibition connot long be kept out OF
the national politics The party which
adjusts itself to this vital issue will
live and prosper. Let the lines be
drawn in the grand Keystone State, as
they are being drawn in Ohio and in
other States. Set the battle in array,
and do not fear.

One day last week when the remains
of a woman bad been driven away from
a tenement on Division street TO q pau
per's grave, talf dozen women gath
cred in the bare rooms to act as execu-
tors. Law did not enter with them.
There was not enough there TO attract
the vulture The bed was old and
poor-only fit for bonfire The stove
would hardly pay for removal Three
or four old chairs, table, O few pieces
of crockery-even the poorest who had
gathered there had no use fer them
And yet woman and her babe had
lived there among the shadows for long
months No, it was not living; it was
dragging out the hours-waiting for
another sunset-for another sunrise
for the coming of the glad relief.
When the body has long been i'll and
soulsick-when days and nights and
weeks and months have brought moth
ing but cold and hunger and groans of
despair, the dread of death is nothing
i he coming OF the shadow is even hail
ed with glad satisfaction.
And so they had lived and one night
when the winds howled drearily and
the snow fakes hirled through the
broken panes, Inc mother and her boy
slept-she to awaken no more on earth.
His little hands were toying with her
cold, dead face when they found him.
They took him away, and be smiled
when they said, "Poor babe! You are
all alone now" When the mother had
gone to her narrow home they crept up
stairs to the dismal room, and one of
them said:
I'VE have found a home for the
child, but he must not forget his mother.
Let Us look for his legacy"
And SO they searched ole dresses, and
peered into the dark corners, and rev.
erently opened the old boxes at the
foot of the bed. One found an old
scrapbook another necklace of beads;
another a knot Of ribbon and, when the
search was ended, there on the table
was heap of relies which they wept
over There was something there
which told of girls love; there was
something there which told of mar
riage-of happiness-of husbands
deaih-a deep sorrow and bitter power
ty. An auctioneer would have turned
away in contempt rag-buyer would
not have gathered than up, yet those
women each with the heart of a mother,
handled each relic with fresh tears.
There was no story in them for man
there was whole life's history in
them for a woman. They had not
found even penny in money-not an
article that would bring a dime-not
even enough property there to call for
removal, and they bad found something
there of more value than gold or dia-
monds. There was faded tintype of
father and mother, some letters stained
with tears, to locks of hair pinned to
the same card-more to him than if
the old boxes had been full of bright
dollars. Only by them will he recall
the dead-wil he realize a mothers
love and devotion-will he know that
one dark morning women crept up the
stairs and found him prattling to the
dead. Money might have worked his
ruin. Those relics on which his moth
er's tears have fallen-over which q
mothers prayers have ascended to
heaven-will be holy light to guide him
through the deepest gloom.-Detroit

POETRY.
LET THE OLD CAT DIE.

Not long ago | wandered near
A playground in the wood.
And there heard words from youngsters lip
That never quite understood.
"Now let the old cat die" he cried;
/ saw him give push,
Then gayly scampered away as he speled
My face peep over the bush.
1.-THE little villain has stoned cat,
Or hung it upon limb,
And left il to die all alone" | said,
but Pll play the mischief with him"
/ forced my way between the boughs
The poor old cat to seek,
And what did find but swinging child
With the bright hair brushing her cheek
Swinging and swaying back and forth,
With the rose-Iight in her face,
She seemed like a bird and flower in one,
And the forest her native place.
"Steady I'll send you up my childw
But she stopped me with the cry,
go way, 90 way Don't touch me, please,
Pm letting the old cat die !'
"You're letting him die ?" 1 cried aghast,
"Why, where's the cat, my dear"
And 10 i! the laughter that filled the wood,
Was thing for birds to hear.
"Why, don't you know, said the little maid,
The fitting. beautiful elf,
''That we call it letting the old cat die
When the swing stops all of itself?"
Then swinging and swinging and looking
back,
With the merriest look in her eye,
She bade me good day." and left her alone
A-letting the old cat die.

Apples are like every thing else,
requiring soil to suit their nature,
and to get crop you must take
care of them. Manure this fall and

smooth that there was scarcely a
crevice deep enough for an insect to
deposit its eggs therein.
1t is very common to see an apple
orchard in full bearing this year, and
next year almost void of fruit. AS
one remarks, How scarce of apples
your orchard Isl" we get the answer,
''rhis is not it's bearing year" l will
h.re state how easy it is to make every
year its bearing year, with but little
labor, although it would be less labor
to commence when the trees are
young, with their first bearing. This
is to allow but one half of each kind to
give fruit at one season; this is done
by picking off the blossoms it can be
done any Spring regardless of the
age or size of the tree, and when
once done it is permanent. One hall
rests this wear while the other hall
is fruited; and the next year the
other half takes its turn. By this
means, with the assistance of manure
and salt, we compel our orchard
every year to bear plenty of fruit

A celebrated divine, who was re-
markable in the first period of his min
istry for loud and boistrous manner
of preaching, suddenly changed his
whole manner in the pulpit, and adopt
ed mild and dispassionate mode of de-
livery. One of his brethren observing
it inquired of him what had induced
him to make the change. He answer

that it was the lightning So deter

A Chicago family were among the
passengers on o steamboat that was
lazily plying the waters of Florida
river one morning last month. The
youngest member, boy about eight
years old. happened to espy an alliga-
tor basking on the shore and was
greatly excited by the spectacle.
Running across the deck to where his
mother was talking with friend he
tugged at her skirts until he had at
tracted her attention, and then point
ing toward the recumbent monster,
cried out: "Oh, mamma, look yonder
there's one of sister Sallie's old gum
shoes"
One reason why Kate Field wants

America was not in trousers at that

Nor did Chris set sail in trousers If
our memory is not at fault, he set sail
in ship which in our day, might
readily be mistaken for the entire
American navy.
A correspondent of the Weekly
Tribune has for years used shavings
