RAIN ! RAIN 1.-The heavens seem
to be opened, and wo havo tho prom.
ise of "the forty days and tho forty
nights" A weather wise' friend
whose sayings are as current, as:those
of the old Dclphic oracle, and some
times as enign1atical, seems to think
that We deserve no botter fate than
tho frogs who prayed a king from
Jove. We bave been making an un.
seasonable request for rain, and we
arc justly punished in having our ro.
quest granted. Webeg leave to differ
Tho rain has not "come q whit too
soon, though it does threaten "to stay
an hour too long," Lot it stop, and
wo will all be pleased.

OBITUARY.,

LITTLE ALLIE WALLER, "fel
asleep in jesus" on Saturday, May
2sth, 1870. This little boy. was {
child of extraordinary promise, pos
sessing those qualities and menta
powers which belong oftener to ma
tnrer years, than to childhood. His
sufferings were as severe and protrac
ted as I have ever. witnessed. His
resignation was wonderful, reminding
Jus of that possessed by Christians o.
ripper years. Allie had tho most win
ming manners for child that have
ever Witnessed. Though not related
to him by the tics Of consanguinity
having been near him for several
months time. I cherished an at.
tachment for him, stronger than that
generally dictated by relationship
AL who woro associated with him
loved him. This fair and beautiful
|exotic has been traDsplanted by the
Great Gardener Of the Universe, to
bloom in the Garden Of Eden above,
whore there is no pain, disease, sick,
ness OF death. As much as we loved
him .aftcr witnessing his unuaually
long and protractcd illness, we felt
that for him to depart and be with
Jesus was far better, as he has said
"sqfor little children to come untome
and forbid them not, for. Of such. is
tho kingdom. Of heaven . i
