"When We are tempted to fret, Clara,

it will be a great help to remember how

THE OLDEST SHIP.-The barque Maria
arrived at this port last evening, from .
three years cruise in the Indian Ocean.
She was built at the town of Pembroke,
now called Hanson, for . Privateer, du-
ring the Revolutionary war. She was
bought by William Rotch, a merchant of
Nantucket afterwards Of this city, in the
year 1888, and in the same year she made
a voyage to London with q cargo Of oil.
Her register is dated A. D. 1882, and she
is consequently in her 18th year. She is
claimed to be the first ship that displayed
the United States flag in British port
after the revolutionary war, which flag is
now in existence, though in shreds. Her
model is Of old French construction, tumb-
ling home, or rounding very much in her
top sides, and she is consequently very
narrow on deck, in proportion to her size,
302 tons 1t is said that there stands to
her credit over 100000, and from the
earliest history of this ship she has never
been any expense by loss to underwriters
except once, and that to q very small
Bedford Standard.
