PRAYER AMI POTATOES.

An old lady sat In her Old arm chair,
With wrinked visage and iishevelled hair,
And hunger-worked features:
For days and for weeks her only fare,
As she sal there in her old arm chair,
Had been potatoes
But now they were gone of bad or good
Not ono was left for the old ladys food,
or those potatoes;
And she sighed, and said what shall do?
Where shall send. and TO whom shall 90
For more potatoessr
And she thought Of the deacon over the way.
The deacon so ready TO watch and pray,
Whose cellar was full OF potatoes:
And she said; 81 win send for the deacon to
come;
He'll not mind much to give me some
OF such store OF potatoes.
And the deacon came over as fast as hc could
Thinking TO do the old lady some good,
But never for once Of potatoes.
He asked her at once what was her chief want
And she poor soul, expecting grant.
Immediately answered, "Potatoes"
But the deacou's religion didn't lie that way:
He was more accustomed to preach and TO pray
Than to give of his boarded potatoes:
SO not hearing, of conrse, what the old lady said
lie rose to pray with uncovered head.
Bat she only thought OF potatoes
He prayed for patience, and wisdom and grace I:
But when he prayed, Lord. give her pesce,
She aulibly sighed, "Gipc potatoes"
Aud at.the end of each prayer which he said.
He heard. or Thought that h. heard, in its stead,
Thai same request for potatoes.
The deacon was troubled; knew not what 10 do
Twas very embarrassing 10 have her act so
About " those earDai POTATOES.
SO. ending his PRAYER, he started for home;
But. as the door rlosc,l he heard deep groau,
90 give to the hungry, potatocs,'
And that proan followed him all the way home,
In the midst of the night it haunted his room
| so give TO The hungry potatoes!
lie could bear it no longer, arose and dressed:
| From his we'll .f,,en cellar taking in haste
A bag Of his hest potatoes
Again he went to the widows lone hut;
Her sleepless eyes she had not shut;
But there she sat in her old armchair,
The same wan features. the same sad air.
! And. entering in. he poured on the floor
| A hnshei or more from his goodly store
OF choice potatoes.
| The widows heart leaped up for Joy,
Her face was haggard and wen no more
