The Harrisburg Patriot, of a late date
wants to know how the Democratic
presidential candidate for 1892 will get
a sufficient number of votes to elect
him, and then the Patriot figures the
result as follows:
The total number of electoral votes
under the new appointment is 4l4
necessary to elect, 223.
How is the Democrotie candidate to
get theseY Sixteen Southern states
will supply 159. New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, SO, 10 and G respec-
lively, will increase it to 211. By the
congressional district system in
Michigan the Democrats are conceded
electoral votes in that state, although
the present delegation stands Demo
crats to Republicans. Take 4, how
ever, and we have total of 2l5. Eight
more are needed.
Why should we not have Indiana
with 10, giving 7 more than needed
And, too, Iowa with 13? And Massa'
chusetts with 10
If the Democrats win New York they
win the presidency. But without New
York and with Indiana, Iowa anG
Massachusetts the electoral vote
would be 222-one short unless Michi
gan should do better than 4.
The coming contest will be one o
the most exciting in the annals of thii
country.

Sunday last was what is commonly
termed Advent Sunday, the beginning
of the ecclesiastical year. The four
weeks preceding Christmas are termed
Advent, so called because they herald
the approach or arrival of the infant
Savior. The first Sunday in said period
is calledAdvent Sunday, and the others
the second, third and fourth Sundays
in Advent. The ecclesiastical year is
held to commence with Advant. The
season has been observed since the 4th
century in honor of the approach OF
Christ's nativity. At one time Advent
was observed almost as strictly as
Lent, but now fasting is confined to the
week in which Ember Day Dec 18th
occurs, and often to that day alone.

peared small advertisement setting
forth the advantages of the place and

NEVER GIVE UP.

Never give up! 1t is wiser and better
Always to hope than once to despair;
Fling off the load of doubts cankering fettes,
And break the dark spell of tyrannical
care.
Never give up or the burden may sink you;
Providence kindly has mingled the cup;
And in all trials or troubles. bethink you,
The watch-word of life must be, never
give up9'
Never give up! There are chances and
changes
Helping the hopeful hundred to one;
And, through the chaos, high wisdom ar
ranges
Ever success, if you'll only hope on.
Never give up! for the wisest is boldest,
Knowing that Providence mingles the cup
And of all maxims, the best, as the oldest,
Isthe true watch word OF "Never give upp
Never give upl Though the grape-shot may
rattle,
Or the full thunder-cloud over you burst;
Stand like rock, and the storm and the
battle
Little shall harm you, though doing their
worst.
Never give up If adversely presses
Providence wisely has mingled the cup;
And the best counsel in all your distresses,
Is the stout watch-word of ''Never give

The Cowboys Quirt.

st. Louis sends out every year about
$4,000 whips of peculiar character
known as the quirt. No one but cow
boy, wild Westerner or Mexican has
any use for such an article, but away out
on the plains it is indispensable, as it au-
swers the purpose both of whip and a
life-preserver. A quirt is a solid leather
whip, with the handle loaded with shot
and so heavy that the thickest skull will
yield to blow from it. Missouri holds
u practical monopoly in the manufacture
of this curiously named article, st. Louis
making the most and Others coming out
of the State Penitentiary at Jefferson
City. At least $50, 900 leather whips
are made in st. Louis or near to it, and
it is often asked where they all go to.
AS a matter of fact, this city stands al
most alone In this manufacture, for while
light buggy whips are made in various
places, leather whips are not made in
large numbers outside of Missouri, al
though there are factories in New York,
Philadelphia and West Virginia. One
reason why st. Louis holds the fort is
that this is one of the cheapest hide mar
kets in the world, and instead of buying
tanned leather the plan here is to buy
green hides aud literally make the whips
out of raw material. .-St. Louis Globe

Hearing Ones Self Speak.

est is singular thing" says ply
sican, .sthat man does not hear his
own voice exclusively through his ears.
The prevalence of throat deafness is a
proof to the laymen of the connection
between the ears and throat, and this in
ability to hear ones self speak just as
others hear us is another instance. In
some people this peculiarly is very
marked, and in my case, if l speak into
phonograph and let the machine grind
out the sounds again, I don't recognize
the voice at all. In regard to singing,
the varying ability to hear ones self with
the ears plugged up with cotton makes
itself evident, for while one member of
chorus will only hear the blending
harmony, or discord, another will hear
little beyond his or her own voice, and
makes occasional bad breaks in consa.
quence. know man who used to
sing very fair baritone, but whose voice
is now only adapted to the weakest
falsetto. Yet he doesn't realize the
change, and believe he honestly thinks
he sings as we'll as ever. This apparent
impossibility may be a dispensation of
Providence to prevent men with excep-
tionally ugly voices being driven to
suicide. Chicago Herald.

swHEN MY SHIP COMES IN"

"When my ship comes in," runs the young
mans song,
"What brave things shall do
With the strength of my wealth and the
joyous throng
OF friends stout-hearted and true~
He watches and waits meath storm and sun
By the shore of his life's broad sea,
And the days of his youth are quickly run,
Yet never a sail sees he.
"My ship has gone DOWN. in soberer strain
Sings the man, and to duty turns.
He forgets the ship in his toll and pain,
And no longer his young hope burns.
Yet again by the shore he stands grown old
With the course of his years well spent.
And gazing out on the deep-behoId,
A dim ship landward bent!
No banner she flies, no songs are borne.
From her decks as she nears the land;
Silent with sail all sombre and torn
She is safe at last by the strand.
And 10! To the mans old age has brought
Not the treasures he thought to win,
But honor, content and love-life-wrought
And he cries, HAS my ship come inn
