gow Little Oracle Closed Saloon

Grace was only six years old, but
beautiful and loving. When her father
wanted her to come into his saloon, that
he might introduce her to the men
lounging there and hear them praise her
beauty, she would say, mo, papa !;
make the naughty men 60 away, and
then I'll come in"
There was a children's temperance
society in the town in charge of the
Woman's Temperance Union, and little
Oracle and her brother, still younger,
were invited to attend. The fat her CON

and have people notice her. Oracle had
never seen any one pray before; and
when the leader talked about God, and
asked them to bow their heads while he
prayed, Oracle bowed, awed into the
most solemn reverence.
Months passed. Oracle had learned
to pray, aud often talked TO her father
about the Christ child, and wanted him
to pray; hut 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

Lonely and weary heart,
With saduers bowed,
Treading thy path apart,
Alone in the crowd,
Feeling no helping hand,
Seeing no smile,
Knowing no kindred band,
Painting the while,
Think OF the One who left
Heavens bright hone,
OF all lis joys bereit,
Gladly 70 COME,
Bowing His royal head,
Leaving His throne.
BirJh's weary way 10 tread,
Ever alone.

Holy and lovely, and
Pure, mid the vile.
Lone thOu caur't never be;

Bees do not sting except in self-de-
fcnse, writes a correspondent of the
Neao England Farmer. The beekeep-
er goes from hive to hive removes the
covers. admits the light. very unwel-
come to the bees. takes apart the brood
nest, finds the queen. takes her in his
hand. and carries her away. and not a
sting is received. and he wears neither
veil nor gloves. If he be farmer. he
may run in from the field to hive a
swarm with his arms bare TO the elbow
and be not stuno, and yet thousands of
bees fly around him, and many alight
on his person. But every beekeeper is
stung more or less, aud the stings for
the greater part, are the result of the
Keepers carelessness. In handling a
frame, he does not see the bee beneath
the top bar, and places finger on him.
A sting follows. as matter of course
1t sometimes happens, however. that
two or three bees. often only one, are
determined to sting. In opening hive.
a single bee may take a bee line for the
face, and this bee must be struck down
and killed The bee likes planned sur
faces. He makes slow Roadway crawl
ing in the grass where the blades twist
and turn and anger him. Hence while
crawling upon the back of hairy
hand, the bee is melted to sting. The
beginner in bee culture should learn at
once what effect the bee-sting has upon
him. Upon some persons the bee pois-
on, and poison it is of the most viru-
lent kind, has very little effect The
swelling about the place stung may be
covered with Scent piece. Upon
others the effect is different A bee
keeper known to the writer. If stung on
a finger, will be inflicted with an un-
comfortable swelling to the shoulder.
The arm is twice its natural size, and
the swelling does not subside for six or
seven DAYS. 1t is not exactly painful.
but certainly uncomfortable. Hence
this bee-keeper must wear gloves and a
veil. When a single sting doubles the
size of an arm it is best TO be protect
ed. Some bee-keepers who suffered
from one sting when they began api-
culture are not affected now seriously

persons blood is impure or weak, but
this is not the solution probably.

Mr.. SwAYzE:-We learn that you are

the road. With one hand upon this
vast system of transportation which
you have in charge, and with the

your friends, business men and 9TH

and hearts together and purchased
this article for you. They wish me

THE NEXT LECTURE.

Major H. c. Dane, of Boston, who
served under Admiral Farragut, will
deliver the fourth lecture before the
Owosso Lecture Association, Friday
evening, March 18th. Major Dane
will speak on "The Great Naval Bat
ties of the Rebellion" He is said
to be graphic writer and an elo-
quent speaker. Robert J. Burdette
speaks as follows of Major Dane:
"His descriptive powers are equal
to a stereopticon. He is eloquent
and polished; his lectures abound
with information and instruction,
and are enlivened by humor that is
bright and natural as the sunshine.
You will like Major Dane, and if the
audience is as large as the lecture is
good, standing room will be at a
premium. 1 have followed him in
many courses and have heard moth
ing but words of praise for his lee
lures"

Agent for the M. c. at Bay City, will
leave Owosso next week. During
the time Mr.. S. has been here he has
worked hard for the interests of both
the company and the citizens of
Owosso. In fact no agent has ever
given better satisfaction to the pub

approaching the work he had done
for Owosso, determined to give him
