Mason 5 verses with the introduction: 1.-THE
poem of Mr.. Bryant was effectively render

seems, got the authorship of the hymn
Strengthened out in its mind, and comments
thereon as follows:
Why did Mrs. Mason in her hymn say,
"Eor them the strife. the fears, the toll,
For us century of calm"
A century that included fight for Sail
ors' rights in 1872 to 1915, and gigantic
fight Tor national existence from 1861 to
1865 cannot be called century of calm,
except for the insufficient reason that the
writer was rather barren thinker and
sought rhymes first and let reason take care
of itself A committee that would add so
absurd production as this hymn to their
exercises cannot be truthfully described as
Literary Committee. By the way. q
stupid hymn is usually written by her.
1t strikes US that this is a rather stupid
criticism. If Mrs. Mason should say that

of some cultivation. We understand that
they accepted for the public exercises fire,
not six. verses of Mrs. Mason's hymn, and
that the verse containing the lines above
quoted was not one Of the five; and that
this was known to the editor ofthe Banner.
Be that as it may, we think that many
people of excellent taste and culture will
agree with the committee that Mrs. Mason's
production. with or without the stanIs
criticised, was very good one for the &C.

A MILITARY PAGEANT IN HIS HONOR

BosroN, June 26.--The weather to-
day, which in the morning seemed to be
the very best for the presidential recep-
tion, became very threatening by noon,
but up to that hour no rain had fallen, to
the satisfaction of the immense crowds
filling the streets named as the line of
march. Bunting flutters everywhere.
Business is partially suspended. Every
body seems to be out of doors, and the
city wears gala appearance. The dis
tinguished visitors set foot on Boston soil
at 10 l5 this morning. On the route
from New York hither, in response to a
reception at Putnam, Conn, the presl-
dent said
Ladies' and Gentlemen: l am very glad
to exchange greetings with this patriotic
gathering of the citizens of Northwestern
Connecticut. My ancestors belonged to
Windham, Connecticut. Applause.
To Norwich, Lebanon, Windham, and
possibly to Putnam came my ancestors,
the Burchards. My grandfather, l am
told, was with the company which repre-
sented this part of Connecticut, and went
TO take part in the battle of Bunker Fill.
But friends, there is not time for speech
making, and am sure that you will be
glad to see those who have come with us.
Allow me to introduce Attorney General
Devens.

Obliged to President Hayes for the intro
duction, and am very glad to meet you
this morning. The demonstration was
not unexpected. l am sure that from
this time forward till he reaches the
metropolis of New England the President
will be greeted at every station in the
same way. The heart of New Englanc
always beats warmly for the President o
ihe United States, because New England
comprehends we'll that it was owing tc
the union formed ty the United States
J thas we have become a great and mighty
nation, instead of mere collection o
individual states. l am sure that th
