and finer as a general thing than those
which have been brought here from
the South during the past three months.
Green corn is becoming more plentiful.
There was no perceptible diminution
in the amount OF cherries and berries

THE PRAYER THAT BROUGHT
THE RAIN

o, Lord of Storms, be good anon,
And vindicate our trust:
Send down thy saving rains upon
The just and the unjust.
Alike they pray-upon their knees
Those, and upon their ne!ghbors these.
Behold thine earth is very dry
(And similar thy bard)-
We've naught to make it lighter lie:
Our very elders hard.
Our fields so long have moisture lacked
They cape. Our preachers, too, are cracked
They tell us that of righteous men
The prayers avail, but 10!
They take not their umbrellas when
To pray for rain they go.
But, Lord in the resulting show'rs
The saints are sometimes seen with ours
We've set apart for thy reward
A day of gratitude
CThe Spaniard and the Turkey, Lord,
Are dissident and rude)-
Our pious hearts are full, but pray
Take soundings in our wells today!
For next years harvest fit our lands
For grain and grape and peach;
This seasons crops are off our hands
Sold, and beyond thy reach.
Lord. from thy creatures turn this woe,
And let it fall on Mexico.
Ambrose Bierce in the San Francisco
Examiner
