SUNDAY EASY.CEAIR.
PRAYER and Potatoes.


! An cd lazy sat IN her old armchair,
I With wrinkird vissge and disheve ed hair,
! And hunger-N orn features;
/ For DAYS and for weeks her only fare,
! As she sat there in ,ier old armchair,
4 Had been potatoes.
But now they were gone. of bad or coed
Not one was left for the old lady's food
| OF those potatoes,
And She sighed and said, "whSt shall do
Where shall l send and TO whom shall 90
For more potatoes Z!
And she thought OF the deacon over the way,
The deacon so ready to worship and pray,
Whese cellar was full Of potatoes
And she said, " | will seEd 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 he 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, simple soul, expecting grant,
Immediately answered, potatoes"
But the deacons religion didn't lie that way,
He was more accustomed 10 preach and pray,
Than to give his boarded potatoes;
So not hearing, OF course what the old lady said,
He rose to pray, with uncovered head,
But she only thought OF potatoes.
He prayed for patience, and wisdom, and grace
But when he prayed, q" Lord give her peace,
She audibly sighed, potatoes
And at the end OF each prayer wi ich he said,
He heard, or thought that he heard, in its stead,
That same request for potatoes.
The deacon was troubled, knew not what to do;
Twas very embarrassing to have her act so
About Z" those carnal potatoes
So ending his prayer he started for home,
But as the door closed, he heard 4 deep groan,
90 Oh, give to the hungry potatoes l'
And that groan followed him all the way home,
In the midst of the night it haunted his room,
6 On, give to the hungry potatoes -
He could bear it no longer-arose and dressed
From his well-flled cellar taking in haste
bag o. his best potatoes,
Again he went to the widows low hut
Her sleepless eyes she had not shut;
But there she sat in that old armchair,
With the same wan features, the same sad air ;
And entering in he poured on the floor
bushel or more from his goodly store
OF choicest potatoes.
The widows heart leaped up for JOY,
Her face was hagSard and wan no more.
d" Now" said the deacon, " shall We pray?'
Sc Yes, said the widow, " now We may
And he kneeled him down on the sanded floor
Where he had poured his goOdy S ore,
And such prayer the deacon prayed
AS never before his lips essayed
No longer Embarrassed, but free and full,
He poured out the voice OF a liberal soul,
And the widow responded aloud, "Amen "
But said no more Of potatoes
And YOU, who hear this simple tale,
Pray for the poor, and praying " prevail"
Then preface your prayer with aims aud good deeds
Search out the poor, their WANT and needs;
Pray for peace, and grace, and spiritual food,
For wisdom and guidance, for all these are good,

a new one to majority of readers. Yet
it appears to be sincerely entertained by

was acting as British Chaplain at Tupis,
the stained glass window in memory OF
Payne was plsced in the English church

hsppy man. Those who knew him well
have told me that in spite of his fine poetic
instincts it was pain to converse with him,
he was so missnthropic, And why? In
his youth he disregarded the voice of God
and nature. at is not good for man to

Why does the lark so sing
His morning welcoming?
Our hearts are all cast down,
The fields are dry and brown
Aud yet the lark sings free
His joyous melody.
His loud and glad refrain
Makes prophesy Of rain,
While we are dumb and cold:
The heavens their ful,ness hold.
Our fears do not belong
With hopeful, happy song
o, lark, who so dost sing

Against your golden breast,
Its sweet reward will gain

A lowing Mother HonkeY.

The servant Of medical gentleman who
was some time in India caught q young
monkey, and brought it to his tent, where
every care was taken of it but the mother
was so greatly distressed with the loss of
her baby that she never ceased uttering
piteOus cry, night and day, in the imme-
diate vicinity OF the tent. The doctor, at
length tired out with the constant bowling,
desired the servant to restore the young
one to It's mother, which he did, when the
poor animal happily retired and sped its
way TO the community to which it be-
louged. Here, however, she found she
could not be received. She and her baby
had lost caste. and like the hunted deer,
were beaten and rejected by the flock.
4 few days after cur medical friend was
sstonished TO see the monkey return to his
tent, bringing the young one along with
her. She entered the tent Of her own ac-
cord, apparently very much exhausted, and
having deposited her young one, she then
retired few yards from the tent, and there
laid herself down and died. Tae body OF
the poor animal was found in a most ema.
ciated state, starved, wounded and
scratched all over so that there can be no
doubt that she had been terribly msltTeated
by her comrades, and finding 70 safety for
herself OF offspring, returned the little one
