Mr. HERRON'S Memorable Saying when Dying.

The pious old Man, who's Riches was Grace,
Leaving the Earth for a better Place,
Hearing his dear affectionate Wife
Who always had been the Solace of his Life,
Lamenting her Loss, crying, When you are Dead,
Who will gain my poor Babes their Bread?
With the Air of a Saint, Mr. HERRON reply'd,
Trust in the Lord he will provide;
God who doth the young Ravens preserve,
Will not suffer the young HERRON to starve.
