OLD SELLS IN NEW YORK.
Two Metal Messengers Whose Tones Have
Sounded to Many Generations.

Two Metal Messengers nose ZONES Eavo
Sounded to Many Generations.
Whether it be due to patriotic or
poetic instincts it Is nevertheless true
that a famous old bell always arouses a
reminiscent feeling. Its very presence
suggests a story-the glad cry of liber-
ty, the joyous peals of wedding festivi-
ties, the sonber tone of funeral process
sions. Weather stained and hoary, an
old bell seems like a messenger OF fate.
Hence it is not to be wondered at that
the bell in the yard of the Collegiate
church, at Fifth avenue and Twenty
ninth street, daily attracts a throng of
inquiring faces, closely pressed against
the high iron railing surrounding the
church.
From the quaint Latin inscription on
the bell one learns that it was sent in
1895 by the people Of Amsterdam as a
gift Offering to the North church in New
York, then at Fulton and William
streets, where it had been erected in
1928.
Hanging high above the city, at
Forty-eighth street and Fifth avenue, is
another link that binds US to the past.
This great bell bears this Dutch inscrip-
ton:
Zen leegat aan de Neederdeutsche
kirke, New York, 1871"
1t appears from the old will Of Colo
mel Abraham de Peyster that be ordered
a bell to be made in Holland for the
Middle church, then occupying the site
of the old fort at the Battery. The peo-
pie of Holland were SO pleased at being
thus remembered by one Of their num-
Der in America that a great number of
coins were thrown into the smelling
pot which contained the metal for the
bell as an evidence of their apprecia-
ton. During the Revolution the Middle
church was put to strange uses. Re-
moving the pulpit, gallery, pews and
flooring, the British dragons converted
it into a riding academy.
John Oothout wa granted permission
from Commander in Chief Lord Howe
to remove the De Peyster bell to a place
Of safety. Accordingly, in the most un
obtrusive possible, the bell was
sent to Chambersburg, Pa. :
When peace was restored, the bell
was hung in the steeple Of the Middle
church, afterward leased to the fedora,
government for postoffice purposes, an6
which many remember as the old Post
Office building. A little more journey
ing and the De Peyster bell reached its
present haven.
The Collegiate consistory carefully
preserve the relics of their severa
churches. A pewter plate bearing thu
date 1859 and giving a history of the
old North church is slowed away Will

Lablache's Voice,

Lablache lad the most magnificent
bass voice eve known to the lyric stage
1t had a compass Of two o~ctaves, from
E fiat below to E fat above the bass staff.
He was a mai Of prodigious size and
strength, and his voice was proportional
to his physical dimensions. Nothing
was able to overcome or drown it, and
through the tones Of the largest chorus
it doomed out as Justify as though alone.
More than once he broke a window pane
by the strength Of the vibrations caused
by his monstrous voice.

The influence OF air and sky
Are side lights from the eternal throne
That fall upon the watchful eye
OF him who, silent. waits alone,
And crown him master Of his own
He knows the beauty of the rose.
The central sun the farth.st star he knows
The balance of a blade Of grass,
The winds that in the meadows run,
Gathering incense as theS pass
To offer to the throned sun.
The trembling secret to be won
From every running stream, all these
Are his, yet force him silent to his knee
The watcher shall possess the earth
In silence, leaping to control
In moments mighty with the birth
OF passion, when the eternal soul
Shall wholly bind him to the whole.
The air and sky, the winds, the rose,
Arc his, the earth. yea. God himself h
knows.

as follows: 1.-The probable yield Of small

bushels per acre. Not a particle of rust
is visible anywhere in the great wheat

But that is a different thing from making a

as brutal as any man could have devised TO
pity her sad plight is the natural prompting OF

the Radical Liberal party In England In the
present campaign il that Of the National REFORM

that 1t Is the scheme which they when they next
como into mower will seek to execute because
a great many things may happen before then.
and some Of the changes demanded may already
be effected by the familiar process Of 'dishing."
This defeated platform is, however, worthy OF
study as revelation Of the present Radical
creed, and as an exposition OF what England has
lost-or escaped, according to the point Of view
by rejecting Radcallsm and adopting Union
