Come, Walk, dear, nmko haste, or . 1, . 1 . 11 II 1 1 1 I wo hliull l I; to, cauou j-ny inaicuiiu one Sabbath morning as she stood waiting at the head of the stairs, holding her ttle Bible in her hand. I'm already, Lily; I'm coming right now," and a chubby-faced boy of five earseame running from the bedroom, putting a capon his head as he spoke. Good bye, mamma," called both the children, as hand in hand they went down stairs and tapped on the door that separated their home from the saloon hich their father owned. In response to their knock, John Malcolm looked through the glass side, and seeiDg who it was, came out. Well, chickens," he said good natur- edly, "I suppose you've come to get some pennies for church," and putting his hand in his pocket, their father drew out some small change. "Now, that for church, and this is for yourself," he continued, giving them each two bright nickels. "Kiss me good bye, pets, and run off, business is brisk this rooming, so I can't stay away, the more nickels I take in, the more you'll have for church." "Don't you want to hear me say the golden text, papa, you always do, and don't you remember, at Christmas, you said if I knew it every Sunday, you would put ten cents in my missionary box," and Lily rubbed her soft cheek gainst her father's hand. "Well, so I did, let me hear it," said John Malcolm, gazing with prido at the tiny figure In-fore him. "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived theteby is not wise," repeated Lily, reverently, 'Quite true," murmured her father, shaking his head, but fortunately Li'y, they are not all wise, or you wouldn't have this fine dress." "Nor me neither, papa," piped Waltor's baby treble. "No, nor you either, young man; it's the drink that brings us the money and gives you all your pretty things." Everybody said that John Malcolm was a model husband and father. His home, which was above his saloon, was furnished with every comfort and con venience, and he himself used to say; "that no child in Fifth avenue had finer clothes than his little Lily." John Mal colm loved his wife and boy. but Lily was his idol. She was a rarely beautiful child, with deep, earnest, blue eyes and a face so spiritual, it seemed lo reflect the purity of her soul. He stood at the window watching the children as they went down the street, and his heart swelled within him It was more than father love he hud for Lily. In infancy when pain racked her tiny form, she would turn from her mother to him, stretching out her baby hands, and in his strong arms the would be soothed and fall into a gentle sleep. Lily reached church just a few minutes late, and alter seeing Walter safely settled in the infant class, she hlipped quietly into her own plaee. Miss Allison, her teacher, gave her a loving smile of welcome, and (hen Lily bowed her head for the opening prayer. All the week good Miss Allison had been in sore distress in preparing the Sabbath iesson; she saw that the subject was "Temperance," and not only was Lily in her class, but owing to the child's peculiar surroundings, Miss Alii son had always taken a deep interest in her, and she felt that sooner than wound th ahy, sensitive spirit, it would be batter to change the lesson and have a review. But each time she felt impelled to return to it, and at last, almost in despair, she fell on her knees asking for guidance, and straightway the anawer seemed to come from heaven : "Not thy will, but mine." Still, as the children rose from their knees, Miss Allison glanced at Lily, and drawing her to a seat next to horselfi she held the littlo baud in hers while she spoke. Somohow the words of that lerson worried Lily, and the low, tender tones of Mi.s Allhoo as she dwelt on the evils of intemperance, seemed to echo and re echo in her heart, and as she started homeward, she repented the'vords of the text over and over. She had almost reached home when she saw a miserably dresed girl standing at the corner of tho street. Lily went over to her, and handing her one of her uew nickels, said : "Here is Noiuethiug for you, Sally, and you ought to mend your dress. Why doe-n't your mamma get you a new one, aud scud you to Sunday school ?" "And it's you that a-.ks me that ques tion, well then I'll aiij-wer it since you want to know. It's because your father keeps a gin mill, and all the money my lather makes is spent there, and we freeze and starve, while you go to church in your tine silk drones. Shame on you, shame on you, but that money won't bring you no luck; my mother says as how (iod will curse your father for wrecking so many homes with his old gin mill." Like a stone, the girl's words fell on Lily's heart. She looked at her for a moment but could say nothing. It seemed as though a veil had been torn from her eyes and she saw aud under stood. All the light and gladness went out of her life, and a shadow fell upon that face, that only God's hand could remove. Lily almost flew home, and taking off the dainty silk dress that had given her so much pleasure in the morning, she hung it in the darkest corner of her closet. Her father could uot understand why. When he came into dinner, she threw her arms around his neck kissing him agaiu and again, and then burst into convulsive sobs. Sho would give no ex planation, her grief was too deep for utterance, and fearing she was ill, they undressed her, and then as in the olden days, her father held her in his arms. A new aud deeper love seemed to come into Lily's heart for him, and knowing that until she slept he would not leave her, she closed her eyes. When he had laid her in her bed and had gone back to the saloon, Lily burst into tears again. Oh those awful words 1 Lily wondered if they could be true, her father cursed. "No, no. no," she screamed in agony; he was too good. In her trouble she did not know what to do; first, she thought of her mother; she would tell her and be" her to make her father stop; but Lily knew that would be of no use. Then Miss Allison came into her mind; but Lily remembered how one day, when she had come to try to persuade her parents to go to church, John Malcolm had oniy laughed. Perhaps, and Lily shuddered at the thought, if she asked God every day, he would let her bear the curse in stead of her father. Then it was as if a ray of light came into her soul; no earthly friend could help her, but God could Day and night she would plead with him to save her father, and almost comforted, Lily fell asleep. The next morning, as soon as she awoke, she jumped out of bed and dressed herself. Then going over to the crib where Walter slept, she shook him gently : "Wake up, Wally, dear; I waat to apeak to you." Walter opened his eyes and sat ap in bed, whilu Lily continued : "Wally, I'm going to dres you, and then we'll go downstairs, I'vo got something' to tell you. "Is it a new game, Lily ?" asked Wally, who was now thoroughly awake. "No, Wally," said Lily, seriously, "it isn't play, but real earnest. Yesterday you know was temperance lesson, and Miss Allison told us it was wrong for people to drink, because it made them very wicked, and their little boys and girls never had shoes and warm eoals, and sometimes they were hungry, and the money they spent in the saloon they ought to take homo to their families, and 0, Wally, if papa didn't sell them the drink they wouldn't buy it," and Lily burt into twrs. "Don't cry, Lily," said Wally, kissing her. "And, Wally. they'll never go to heaven and see Jesus, the Bible says so, I read all about it last night, and Wally, I'm going to pray every day that pap will stop selling drink to the men. I wouldn't have made you get up, only Jesus says when two of us ask anything together he'll give it sure. You don't mind, do you, deer ?" "No, Lily, I don't and I'll help yoe ask Jesus, too. Shall we pray now ?" Lily shook her head. "I think we'd better go down in the saloon behind the bar; somebody might see us np here, and I want it to be t secret till Jesus an swers. As the two children passed their father's room, he saw them, and wonder ing what they could be doin' at so early an hour, he threw on his dresi-ing gown and followed them. He wondered still mora when they opened the door of the saloon, went behind the b;:r and fell on their knees. lie crept softly to get as close to them ns he could so that ho could hear what they were going to s:iy. "Now, Wally," said Lily, "we've got to pray awful bard; I'll begin, and when I sav aineu. it will be vourturn." Fold ing her hands reverently, Lily begun : "Dear Jesus, I'm Lily, aud my papa keeps a big saloon aud sella drink tu the men that makes them bad, so that they have no money, and their little boys and girls i.s huugry, and, Jesus, me and Wally w.i nt you to make him stop; you said you would if two ot us- usked; so please do, dear Jesus. Amen. Now, Wally." "Dear Jesus," piped Wally in a high, clear voice. "I'm Wally, and I make two, and please make papa stop keeping a saloon, 'cause it makes Lily cry and poor peoples cold. Amen." John Malcolm st lc away as softly as he came. The children never knew he had been listening, but morning after morning as the patter of their little feet souudod past his door, he followed them. Instinctively too, he would kneel as they said their little prayer. One tuoruing, as it was nearly a month from tho day Lily had begun to pray, as the children knelt together, Wally said: "Isn t it most timo we finished, Lily ?" All Lily answered was "Oh Wally" and lifting up her face, she poured out her anguish saying : "0 Jesus! wo're getting awful tired, Wally and mo, it doesn't seem as though you heard us pray, perhaps we're too little, and two of us isu't enough, but dear Jesus, we don't know who else to ask." Here Lily broke down completely, and the tears streamed down her face. This was more than John Malcolm could bear, he opened the door, aud lifting the child to his arms, strained her to bis hcartsaying: "Yes, Lily two are enough, Jesus has heard your prayer, and answered it too. From this day, tho doors of John Mal colm's saloon are closed forever. The same God who has answered the prayers of a little child, will hear those of her father." IClertrlc Hitlers.

SAYING GRACE. Roys, don't be ashamed of your relig ion. You would be proud to own allegi ance to the stars and stripes in any land be still more proud and glad to acknowl edge the great Captain, who is your Fath cr. A clerk and his country father entered a restaurant one Saturday evening, and took seats at a table where sat a telegraph operator and a reporter. The old man bowed his head, and was about to say grace, when a waiter flew up announcing, "I have beefsteak, codfish balls and po tatoes," Father and son gave their or ders, and the farmer again bowed bis head. The young man flushed hotly and touching his arm, exclaimed in a low nervous tone: "Father, it isn't customary do to that in restaurants." "It is customary tor me to return thanks to God wherever I am," said the old man. For the third time he bowed h head and the son bowed bis head, end the telegraph o p er a t o paused in the act of carving his beefsteak and bowed his head, the jour nalist pushed back his fish ball and bow ed hii head, and there wasn't a man who heard that prayer that didn't feel as pro found a respect for that old farmer as if he had been President of the United 8tates.
