Complete figures as to the vote in Pennsyl-
yania on the question OF Prohibition are not
ret at hand, but the only question is as to the
size Of the majority by which the Prohbitory
Amendment has been rejected. The vote APP
pears to have been fairly large. In Phiadel-
phia, where total vote Of 100000 was con
sdered In advance as probable the number OF
votes cast was in the neighb0rhoOd OF 5O,OOO,
and the majority against the amendment was
93.1S4. II Is likely that the total majority ad'
verse TO Prohibition will considerably exceed
100 900. To extract comfort from such figures
will dismay the stoutest thirdparty Prohibi-
ZIONIST.

A Boys COMPOSITION. house cat IS a four-legged quadruped, the legs as usual being at the corners. It is what is some- times called tame animal, though it feeds on mice and birds of prey. Its colors are striped, tortus-shell, black, also black and white, and uthers. When it is happy it does not bark, but breathes through it's nose instead of its mouth, but I cant re- member the name they call the noise. It is little word, but I cant think of it, and it is wrong to copy. Cats also mow, which you have all herd. When you stroke this tame quadruped by drawing your hand along its back, it cocks up its tail like ruler, so as you can't get no further. Never stroke the hairs acrost, as it makes all cats long, and it's legs about one each. Never stroke a cat under the belly, as it is very unhealthy, Don't teeze cats, for, firstly it is wrong, and, 2d, cats have clawses which Is longer than people think. Cats have ivses, but which is seldom required ill this country beause of Christianity. Men cats are allus called Tom, and girl cats Fuss or Tiss :; but, queer as you may think, all little cats are called kittens, which is wrong name which oughter be changed. This tame quadruped can see in the dark, SO rats stand no chants, much less mice. Last Tewsday drawed our cat on some white tea paper, and sold it boy who has father for 20 pins and some coff drops. Cats are very useful. I cant remember one of the noises they make, though I've just been trying again. Cats eats meat and most anythink, speshully what you
 cant afford. This is all about cats.

Vick's Floral Guide for 1889, from Roch- ester, N. Y., is better than all previous issues. Better" hardly expresses it rather, we should say, far superior. It has been changed in every particular t; new cuts, new type, enlarged in size (opening like an old-fashioned singing books con- tains three elegant Autographs (Sx104 inches) of roses, geraniums and melon and tomato; besides a very fine plate of the late James Wick and his three sons who now own and manage this large business. These features must make the Floral Guide valuable to their many thousands of cus- toners in this country.
 We also notice that Wick returns to the plan started by the founder of the business years ago, of offering cash prizes at the State fair. One would think they were a little out of their heads to offer to the pub- lie such work as the Guide free, for that is what it amounts to, when they say it will be sent on receipt of fifteen cents, and that a certificate good for fifteen cents worth of seed will be returned with the Guide. Vick's seeds are staple as gold. They are sure to come up and thrive, and the product is always what the catalogue promises that it will be.

 MORAL MEDLEY.

The Sabbath bells ring loud and clear,
 Inviting all to meeting, While many desecrate the day
 In drinking, sports and eating. Some go to church with hearts sincere, . To hear the sword" expounded, And some to see or else be seen. -. With vanity surrounded. There is a man perhaps you've seen,- Who bows his head down lowly When the good "parson" offers prayer : Strangers might think him holy. But when he's out of church, 5esoare'
 For he is overreaching, And all the piety he shows
 Conflicts with moral teaching. ''But don't he give 2" asks one. Oh. yes Drops a stray nickle Sunday Into the box-for fashions sake
 And "cuts" his help on Monday. Some give large sums s-most noble gifts, That makes the bas ket jingle, While others cramp the suffering poor
 Without a conscience jingle. I dare not charge on men alone
 This surging flood of evil, For some are rude enough to say
 That women serve the devil. But there are many crooked ways,
 The tares and wheat are growing Together for the harvest day,
 Whatever be the sowing Now we should all be gentle here,
 Each one adorn his calling, For there is labor for us all
 To keep the weak from falling. To open wide generous. heart
 In sympathy for sorrow, And trust our Heavenly Fathers love
 For all we need tomorrow. Holland, Jan. 10th, 1889. J. l.. CLorGH.

Another writer claims that raising beef for the home market will pay. Both are farmers. These. interests should be taken up by the Patrons of Husbandry. Get the law amended to restrict dogs, and show farmers that homemade beef can be proftably made in their own state. In years past much of the opposition to dog restraining has come from farmers, and in some instances those who have most assid- uously evaded the dog laws have been in- dividuals whose names oftenest figured in the town reports as receiving compensa- tion for sheep killed or injured by dogs.
