How Little Oracle Closed q Saloon.

Oracle was very little girl, only six years
old, but beautiful and loving. She was
modest, thoughtful child, and when her
father, who loved her very much, wanted her
to come into the saloon, that he might in
troduce her to the men Longing there, and
hear them praise her beauty, she would say,
mo, papa, no, no; make the naughty men
go away, and then III come in"
There was a children's temperance society
in town, in charge of the Women's Temper
ance Union, and little Oracle and her
brother still younger were invited to attend.
The father gladly consented, for he liked
much to see Grace dressed up and have peo-
pie notice her.
Everything was new and strange to Ora
Gle. She had never seen any one pray be-
fore and when the leader talked about the
great God, and asked them all to bow their
heads while he prayed, Oracle bowed, awed
into the most solemn reverence.
After the meeting she asked the teacher
what it meant; and if she would teach her
and her little brother how to pray. The
teacher took the little hands in her own,
and told the two little children about Jesus,
and how he loved little children and wanted
them TO be good and would help them if
they asked him.
Months passed; Oracle had learned to
pray, and often talked to her father about
the Christ-child and wanted him TO pray
but he only laughed, and called her his little
saint.
One day Oracle was taken very ill; the
| doctor was sent for and when he saw her,
he said she was very sick.
"Will die, doctor :"
al hope not"
"You needn't be afraid to tell me- cause
I'm ready; / asked Jesus to take me if he
wanted me-"
The father, who stood at the foot of the
bed sobbed out, "Oh, Oracle you don't
want to leave your papa, do you 2"
eyes | do, if Jesus wants me to come,
cause he has the best right 10 me-"
The customers came and went, but the
| saloon-keeper needed them not for his dear
Oracle was on her little bed, painting her
life away. What cared he for money now
the light of his life was going out ? One
day, on his coming up out of his saloon,
Oracle opened her eyes, and turning upon
him an imploring look, said: "Oh, papa
is the saloon open, and the men there
Drinking"
"Yes, darling"
ado close it, papa. know l would feel
better if you will"
| "Ill do it, darling-anything to make you
feel better" The saloon-keeper's heart was
almost breaking. The bar-keeper was Or
dered to clear the saloon and close the doors.
| Darling, the saloon is closed" he said
bending over her few minutes later.
| "Thank you, papa. 1t makes me happy
and better, already" and glad smil came
into her suffering face. EVERY few hours
Oracle would ask is the saloon closed now ?"
"Yes, darling"

THE BEGINNING.

A schoolboy, ten years old, one lovely
June day-with the roses in full bloom over
the porch, and the laborers in the wheat
fields--had been sent by his Uncle John to
pay bill at the country store, and there
were seventy.fve cents left, and Uncle John
did not ask him for it. At noon, this boy
had stood under the beautiful blue sky, and
great temptation came. lie said to him
self, " Shall give it back, or shall | wait
until he asks for it If he never asks, that
is his lookout. If he does, why, can get
1t again together"
He never gave back the money.

ARE THE CHILDREN SAFE ?

Thank God that my darling is resting
Safe In the bosom Of Godi
Praise him for little hands folded
Under the church-yard sodi
I'm glad that on the white forehead
I've printed the last long kiss;
Do you ask why I'm glad and thankful,
And can praise God 20 for ths7
Last night as I sat in my window,
Looking out on the moonlit street,
My neghbor's once beautiful boy
Went by with unsteady feet;
And remembered how had envied
His mother that sorrowfu time,
when God sent his white-winged angel,
And leaving her hoy, took mine.
But now she sits in her lonely home,
In tears, broken hearted, and old;
While the stainless feet Of my darling
Are walking the streets OF gold.
Thank God for taking my child 40 soon.
Lest he might have gone astray =
For none are safe while doors Of sin
stand wide as they do to-day.
I pity the children Of year. TO come
And mothers, who little know
What lies for them In the future

For as long "a men are licensed 10 sell

The curse on ourselves we shall bring.
You may be the one next to suffer,
Though little you think It now;
The stamp Of sin may be printed next

Draw him ever 30 carefully, lovingly,
Tenderly close to your heart;
Remember the day is soon coming
When mother and son must part,
When he must go out in the busy world,
Alone, n man among men.
Shall we fling wide the doors Of temptation
10 lure our boys in them7
We all have a voice in the matter,
And you and III have to stand

At the bar at Gods right hand.
To give account whether for or against

How for God or sin, for gold or souls,
We made everlasting choice. Selected

OrFTCB OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, I
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April %, 1851, $50 a M.
For the middle Atlantic states, partly cloudy
weather and occasional rain, stationary baron
eter variable winds, and stationary or higher
temperature.
The Ram Not Over Yet.
The Chief Signal Officer furnishes the follow
ing special bulletin to the press:-Fair weather
prevails in the lake region and New England;
elsewhere east OF the Mississippi and In the
west Gulf states cloudy and threatening
weather prevails, accompanied by rain In all
districts except in the east Gulf states. The
temperature has risen from 10 TO Is degrees IL
the extreme northwest; elsewhere it mas re-
Missouri and Mississippi are again as high and
at points higher than at the first spring food.
the former being five feet and seven inches
above the danger line at Omaha and the latter
three feet at Keokuk and five feet and seven
inches at Cairo above the danger line. IN ad-
ditiOn TO heavy rains the solid snow and Ice In
the drifts and gorges In the upper countries is
now melting. During the past winter the pre-
cipftation Ia the northwest has been consider
ably in eneesS OF the average, and the people
OF the lower Mississippi ought to look for
higher water than for many years. The indi-
cations are that threatening weather and Occa-
sional rain Will prevail In the Gulf states, the
Ohio valley and Tennessee, the Middle and
South Atlantic states during to-day and prob
continue during the day In the lake region and
