Tie Maryland pcnch Crop.

1t is learned this morning from Isaac
Solomon, ESD, proprietor of Solomon
Island, Calvert Co. Md, that the peach
crop in that section is very promising.
The early crop Will be abundant. In
that part OF the county where Calvert
and St. Mary's join there are upwards
OF 100, 900 trees, which will yield Oh an
average from $4,000 to 100, 600 boxes
of the finest peaches ever brought into
the Baltimore market. The late crop
however, will equal only about half OF
that of the previous season. --Ba!hm0re

From Seibel's lips there burst long cry

MOTHER CATS LEssON.-She had three
little kittens, who were exceedingly well
brought up, and never snarled or quarrel
ed. There were two gold-iish-lazy, fat
fellows-with their shining sides glisten-
ing through the glass globe. The glass
globe stood upon n table where there was
plenty of room for puss TO stand also. She
had only to spring up and help herself
SO once, when she thought herself alone in
the parlor, she determined 10 risk ii. Jump
ing lightly on the table, she put her paw
into the water, and was just about to catch
a fish, when in walked her master. Puss
tried to run but the gentleman caught her,
and brought her back 10 the table. "Now,
madam, you must understand in The be-
ginning, that this will never do" he said
sternly. 81 have caught you in the act,
and YOU must be punished. Now
remember, never touch the goldfish
again." With this he set her down, and
puss ran to hide herself in corner. Her
master watched her TO see If she would
meddle with the fish again; and this is
what he saw her do instead: Creeping out
from her corner presently, she ran TO the
rug where the kittens were, picked them
up, one by one, and carried them over 10
the liable where the goldfish stood. Then
she stretched out her paw to the globe,
as if to say, "Do you see thatY" and delib-
erately boxed each kitten by the ears AT
| Ter which she went grayely back TO her
place, and the kittens scampered of, as II
| they understood the lesson perfectly. They
did. too, for II never had TO be repeated
and the gold fish lived in peace heneeforth,

What brought to-day to my forest nook,
That bore me down with its terrible weight,
Heart-sick, and weary, and painting with fear,
Hounded by Thought like some merciless fate
What did bring? Nay, scarce can tell,
SO dim were my eyes through the forest path.
II was not burden Of work well done,
But the sore, sad burden Of grief and wrath.
Then safe ne down, and I cried aloud:
80 morcful God, has yon summer
Fer seen In his radiant course such wreck,
Such broken effort such life undone?
Ii fe thrilled through with pulse which throbbed
At the lghtest touch Of Joy or Of pain,
And which held one hope, as a saint his soul,
To be watched and guarded and kept from stain.
"And now that my beautiful Hope is dead,
Let my days sweep by like the empty air!"
And cast me down in the forest shade
Like wounded beast in its leafy lair,
And above me the Cloud-neCked summer sky,
Below me the beautiful bloom. decked Garth;
But mine eyes were dimmed by mournful veil,
Woven Of tears from a sad hearts dearth.
No voices spoke but the soft south wind
FissCd my hot, dry lips as 1t swept along,
And rustled and sighed through the stately pines
Like faint, sweet echo OF Oceans song.
No voices spoke, but the lights and shades
Quivered and danced down the hills green side,
Aud bird peeped forth from its mossy nest
While its brown mate iluttercd in circles wide
And know not whence, if from breeze sun,
From the wiad-swept leaves or the mated birds,
Fro the grace and sweetness Of speechoss things,
Or an undertone Of life half heard;
But such peace came down on my troubled soul
Tha mine eyes grew clear, and beyond the veil
l saw that the world was bright aud good,
Though passionate, wayw ard life might fail.
The summer will ripen in the fall,
The woodland, which shades me, grow brown and bare
Yop bird will Ay from her empty nest,
And the storms of winter will fill the air;
But the God who holds in his graeio us hand
The times and seasons, their glow and dearh,
with the ipriDg-tide freshness and summers pride,
VIII waken and glad the pulseless earth.
oh little the faith which with empty hands
VIII follow the shadow, not bind the sheaf.
The Master calls, and his voice is heard
In the wind or wave of falling leaf.

And bear your life yon tree the storm,
Which rifles It's branches, hut may mot touch
The hidden sap which each spring will warm ?

A TRUE STORY OF THE oLDEE TIME, TOLD ny HEn
GREAT-oRANDDAUGHTER.
Folks didn't think much about romance in the old
colonial days
They were doing Gods work for the future, and
walki ng in primitive ways
My maiher often used to tell us of her busy, girlsh
life;
The log house, the bears and Indians and with want
constant strife;
OF injustice, oppression and taxes til their hearts
were filled with gall;
OF tn uprising of the people, and that dreadfullest
day Of all,
when William French, her lover, who served
the right,
Paused moment for her God-srecd, hurrying eager
for the fight.
For they forgot their spinning aud watched till
Twas many miles from Bunker Hill, rude, untruy-
eled way;
But they heard the bocm Of cannon, and knew work
had begun,
And prayed only the tried pray, "Fathcr, thy
will be done"
You all know without my telling the history of that
day.
1t seemed age before they heard one word from
the afTray;
Then rough but kindly neighbor, pausing with
dropping head.
Said, "a hate to hato to tell Susanna that william
French is dead
That's all mother told us, but her sisters used to
say
That "susanna was never the same again after that
dreadful day;
She never laughed, nor danced, nor sang, nor made
merry with the rest
just prayed and worked ard came to be of youthful
saints the bcst;"
Till Williams mother said to her,-a staunch old Pu-
ritan DAME
IL gave william to his country and you must do the
same.
John loves you, you shall marry him, they did in
days Of yorc,
AnJ raise up children to winiam-tsc country needs
them sore
Was william not the best loved son? To hear was to
And she made John Freach faithful wife unto her
dying day;
Gld blessed her with his loving grace If not with
worldly gain,
And she walked in faith before His face, through
trouble, wee and pain.
She never forgot her early love, but treasured 1t as
best,
And kept bright the golden cincture which bound 1t
TO her breast;
And to the last she trusted that somehow should be-
given
That, though she had been Johns wife here, she
Williams should lie in heaven.
Aunt Susan told me the story when was but child,
Aud she used to gay in ending in her pleasant voice
and mild,
81 always thought that mother, with her life Of toll

For she sbirked her duty and had constant hard
fare
There were eleven Of us children to be taught aud
clothed and fed,
