H flfoobern petition.
MR6. JOItN SMITH, Sharon, Conn., In Christian Herald.
Ó Lord, I come to thee in prayer once more;
But pardon that I do not kneel before
Tby gracious presence, for my knees are sore
With so much walking- In my chair, instead,
I'll sit at ease and humbly bow my head.
I've labored in thy vineyard, thou dost know:
I've sold ten tickets to the minstrel show:
I've called on fifteen strangers in our town
Their contributious to our church put down;
I've baked a put of bean for Wednesday's spree.
An old time «upper it is going to be;
I've dressed three dolls, too, for an annual fair,
And mude a cake, which we must raffle there!
Now, with my boundless wisdom, so sublime,
Thou knowe*t that these duties all take time:
I have no time to ñght my spirit') foes,
I have no time to mend my husband's clothes,
My children roam the ntreets from morn till night;
I have no time to teach them to do right;
But thou, () Lord, considering my cares,
Will count tbem righteousness and heed my pray*
er*.
Bless the Bean Supper and the Minstrel Show,
And put it in the hearts of all to go.
Induce all visitors to patronize
The men who in our program advertise.
Because I've chascd those merchants till they hid,
When'er they saw me coming ye*, thev did!
Increase the contribution to our Fair,
And bless the people who assemble there.
Bless thou the grab-bag and the gypsy tent,
The flower table and the cake that's sent,
May our whist club be to thy servive blest,
The dancing party, gayer than ihe rest;
And when thou hast bestowed these blessings
then
We pray that thou wilt ble*n our souls. Amen.
