What is there, pray, About his looks that made you say That 1'd admire him ? Goodnes me! He's homely, Belle, as he can be, Monstrous mouth, retreating forehead And goggle eyes, I think he's horrid. • * I've seen that Mr. Knox again— Your friend, I mean that homely matt Of whom I wrote—and I declare I must admit he bas an air About him that cue must admire ; But, Belle, I think I soon shall tire Of his rude manners Why the man Stared till I had to use my fan 1 • I went fest night to the soiree, And who, think you, ohanoed there to be? Why, Charley Knox 1 We stayed Balfour. I danced with him six times or more, And he asked me—don't you tell— To go with him next time. Now, Belle, I'm not in love. You'll laugh, I know, Bob still I say be's not my beau. . Oh, Belle i Oh, Belle! what do you think Happened 1 can't sleep a wink Until I've told my dearest friend— Oh, Belle, my maidoubood is at an and, That Charley Knox 1 Oh, dear ; Oh, my 1 I don't know whether to laugh or ory--- I never yet did feel so queer— Just think! I'm engaged my dear, MY RIVAL. Her heart was all mine until he onus along, My rival, the hero of this little song, With so much against him, I marvel that he For even a moment oan dispossess me. He is not so tall by some fishes (my height For a number of years has been bar de. light), Has never the sign of a beard on his ohin And the boar on his bead is decidedly thin ; Yet, the very first time she saw him she said, "The darling, I love him I" and tears for joy shod. His eyes they aro blue and blue eyes in a Mall She detests as only a women eau Regarding his teeth, about them lees said Tho better—he had not a tooth fu bis head 1 He not only ohews gum, bub chews gums, which is woreo ; A sin she abhors as a positive ours°. My rival? I smiled—a ridiculous thought And into her presence the strange prinoe brought And the very first moment she saw him she said, "The darling, I love him 1" and bears for joy shed. My rival 1 Believe tee, I love him full well Or defeats in his makeup I never would tell. The place he has taken I want him to keep Close, close to her heart l—Hoar bor sing him to sleep 1 And yet—notwithstanding—I want you to know Re's a rival unrivalled. Go search high and low (Don't look in your cradle for anyanoh joy) And find if you can saeb a sweet baby boy. No wonder the moment' she saw hint the slid; "The darling, I love hihf1 1" and teats for joy abed, Temperance. If drinking men could only see the effect that whiskey has on the stomach, they would never drink another drop. If one would form an idea of what the saloons are doing, let him visit the palace- court ; in almost every ease liquor is the cause of arrest. High license is the rumseller's big gun. Plenty of "tomperauee" people man and shoot it for him. It may "kink" the politioians yet. There will be no peace in the politics of this country while some fathers and mothers are watehing and waiting for the return of bheie boys at night from the saloons. Archbishop Spaulding declares : 'One great question that is going to be forced into politics is the question of prohibition. The saloon in America hae become a nuisance. The liquor traffic, by med. filing with politico and corrupting poli- tics, has become a menaoeand a danger," Look at a map and you will . see im- aginarylines running from one side of the United States to the other, lines of latitude ; but there is one line which the geographers have forgotten to put in, and it runs from the Atlantic to the Paoifio, Clear aoross the continent. What is it ? A. line of reeling, staggering, maudlin humanity, 2.,500,000 drunkards by a close estimate, robbed of almost everything but life. A traveller soya : "Coming down from Chicago recently, I was amused and pleased at an anaemuoement by the Pull- man porter. It was night and we were in Illinois. He went through the coach and cried with a loud voioe, "Gentlemen, all you who wants beer or anything to drink, most buy it to -night. In de morn- ing we'll be in Mississippi, and you can't get nothing down dare." Ifelt but didn't say, "Hurray for Mississippi 1" A boy who on00 went with his father on a voyage to South Amerioa was anxi• one to see the equatorial line, and said to an old sailor : "Jack, will you show me the line when we prose it ?" "0 yes, my boy." After a few days the boy asked whether they bad crossed the line. The old tar said, "Yes my lad." "Why didn't you tell me and show it toms?" The sailor eaid, "0 my lad, we always um the line in the dark." So the moderate drinker always cross- es the line between the moderate and immoderate in the dark. Mental and moral night settles down on him as be Drosses the line between moderate drink• ing and inebriety, blinding him to the awful fade of ruin and death, only a little way on the road he is travelling.

The last retains for the repent plebis: cite vote in Ontario tame in Monday of last week and though by reason of a change or two in the olassidoation wbinb may hereafter be made the total figures may be slightly altered, the difference will not amount to more than a few adores of votes. These returns may therefore be taken as being praotioally the official figures as they will be proclaimed in the Ontario Gazette. In the cities about 3 to 2 voted in favor of prohibition, and 40 per cent. of the total vote was polled. In the distracts the proportionate majority was hardly as great as in the oities, and about 44 per cent. of the total vote woe polled. In the separated towne the ma. jority in favor of prohibition was 8 to 2, and 62 per Dent. of the vote was polled. The oonuties deolared for prohibition by almost 2 to 1, and the returns show that 60 per cent. of the total vote was polled. The women's vote went 6 to 1 in favor of prohibition, and. they polled 35 per eerie. of their total vote. The grand total shows an average vote of almost exactly 19 to 11 in favor of prohibition, 58 per cent. of the vote having been polled.

A 0lENAGEit1A Alf SEA. The freight steamer Hankow dropped anchor below Tibery Island Monday, after experiencing the longest and storm. ieet voyage in the memory of her skipper, Captain West. She left Yokohama eighty days leo, touching at Pieogo, Sbanghai, Foochow, Hong Song, Singe• pore. Captain West had as passengers ten actable bolls, 14 Bad Indian ponies, together with 8 Indian elephants and 4 Reastin cassowaries consigned to the Barnum and Bailey show. The seebus were eaconfined in pens on the deck forward with the ponies. Two of the elephants, a big male and female, were chained below desk, and a 500 pound infant had the liberty of a curtained oabin on the main deok. The Hankow passed Gibraltar, late. 17. The sacred bulls and the elephants enjoyed the voy- age until the low side freighter strode the eastern edge of the Gulf stream on Jan. 27. Then the barometer tumbled down to 29.50, and the wind howled from out of tae south•sast. It shifted to the south. and then to the west and northwest, being tinged with the touch of Labrador temperature which made the seebus shiver. The wind howled to the accom- paniment of the trumpeting of the ele- pbaule and the dismal bellowing of the scored bulls all day on. Jan. 29. There was a lofty cross sea, which Captain West thinks might have overwhelmed the ship if she had been deeply laden. She reeled and pitched and strained as only an old freighter can, plunging bar nose deep in the trough of the sea. Oaptain West slowed her down, and brought her head to the wind. Fierce squalls struck the steamer now and then, and drove her into the trough. At noon 00 Tuesday last the steals gearing gave way, and while the ship was wallow. ing in the seas the hand gear wars shipped and the storm -battered freighter was steered until 5:80 p. m. by a wheel on the after deok. Four men bad all they could do to manage the wiled, The band gear gave way, and again the freighter drifted into the trough at the meroy of the waves The crests were smoothed down some. what by oil dripped from bags overboard. The rudder was lashed down with tackle cue made fast to the leek, and five en• gime were set going just fast enough to keep the skip's bead to the wind. When a giant wave impended the engines were stopped altogether, and the ship was al- lowed to ride the oomb of the wave. The gale was at ite worst between four and eight o'olook Wednesday morning. The oaten bellowed until they were so exhaust. ed that they were unable to bellow longer. The infant baohyderin trumpeted shrilly, and bis parents responded with thunder - one base. Several seas came aboard over the starboard bow insnooession, and the bulls were dashed againet the bnlwarlte and deok fixtures and killed. Several ponies were washed overboard, Six of the fourteen ponies were either killed or swept into the sea. One of the cased. waries died of pneumonia and was thrown Overboard.

It appeare that the Greek Emperor Basiliue bad oondemed his son Leo to death on the Wee accusation of a couple of bis trusted courtiers that be formed a plot against the life of bis father. Tho Empress in her sorrow and anguish, tried her utmost to melt her husbaud's heerb, but in vain, On the day befoee the execution she sat surrounded by her ladies, bemoaning her son's dreadful fate. A favorite parrot which occupied a cage in the ]Empress' apartment was removed by her maitre to a lonely spot in i he grounds of the palace because she could not endure its chatter- ing and screeching in her grief and des. pair. Not long afterwards the Emperor entered the pard and seated himself on a bench. He had not been sitting long, when he heard a plaintive voice uttering the words, "Oh 1 Leo, my son, my eonl" The Emperor started up and listened, and again the voice was beard to say, "Oh ! Leo, my sou, my son 1" followed by a heart.rending ory. It was the parrot, which had heard its unhappy niletress repeat nothing but these words during the last two weeks. Deeply affected the Emperor hastened bank to the palace, and immediately ordered hie son to be set at liberty. Not loug afterwards the matter was cleared, and Leo's innocence established. It is to be hoped that the fortunate Leo was grateful enough to his feathered benefactor to see that Polly had all the crackers she could possibly want, as well as a patient listener to every word.
