THIS reminiscence of Miss Cushman is
recalled by the "Boston Traveller: "1t is
not generally known that Miss Charlotte
Cushman at one time directed the choir OF
what was formerly known as the 'Cockerep
Church on Hanover street. This was at
the time when Ralph Waldo Emerson.
then young man and unknown, was a
colleague of the Rev. DR.. Ware, this hav-
ing been his only pastoral charge. 1t was
little thought then that the modest young
preacher and the unknown young singer in
the choir at salary of probably three dol
lars week, would become 80 famous all
over the world"

CHE PEACH CROP.

The prospects for peach crop are al
ready being discussed with evident inter.
est by anxious peach growers. Embar-
assed by the failures Of the crop for two
years and by an overAowing crop last year
which was to some worse than failure,
they look forward with increased anxiety
to the future, and, indeed, never was there
more favorable prospect not only for an
abundant CROP but for good markets. The
Centennial at Philadelphia, the prospect
of an improvement in trade attendant on
the millions olvisitors to the Exhibition
and the enlarged and improved facilities
for the preservation of fruit, all will in,
crease the demand forit.
But few of the healthy orchards have
been pulled out, some few have cut on
their earlier varieties. The financial con

THE AMERICAN NAVY.

The weakness of our navy is suoJect
that has of lete been matter OF consider
able comment. Especially has this been
the leading subject since reports have been
50 freely circulated Of the dangers OF
war between this country and Spain.
Since the termination of the late war there
has been bat little attention paidto the con-
struction of the navy. In fact until re-
Gently it seemed to be the most neglected
portion Of the Governmental departments
Suddenly fit Of recuperation seized upon
the Secretary, and we witnessed an unusual
hurr, and furry in repairing and fitting
up vessels, but it stopped as suddenly
as it began. And to-day our navy is in a
condition that would place us in pitla-
bic plight in the emergency ofa war with
anv foreign power. England is the ae'
knowledged mistress of the sea. But she
is constantly at work upon her war ships.
They are as much the subject OF attention
in times Of peace as in times OF war
Spain has an excellent navy and our
feet would be as powerless to resist it as
many of the naval contests in the late
war were unequal.
All the material Of the old navy that
was used in the rebellion is still on hand
but with neglect it has long since felt the
corroding hand of age, and as the result
our navy yards are numbered up with {
lot of material that is useless unless th'
Navy Department makes it available, b,

Builder, Of slater named Nj. A. Karis, a
Belgian. This man was engaged with a
companion in fixing lightning conductor
on the summit ola church steeple at Vile
Sur Onrthe. Karis was supporting the
other man upon his shoulders, and this
man accidentally spilled some molten lead
upon the others forearm. The pain of
course was intense, but knowing that the
slightest movement might precipitate his
companion into the street, karis remained
motionless while the lead burned its way
into the flesh. The men were at q height
of seventy feet from the ground.

And then, perchance, n word or smile declares
That warm hearts trob beneath their load Of cares
For love grows on like wheat among the tares,
Till harvest days.

Oh, friends al rest beneath the blessed sod,
My feet still tread the weary road We trod
Ere yet your loving souls went back to God

And see them with new and clearer sight,
