A Story about Meycrbeer’s L’Af-
ricaine.
From the French for the Musical News.
The tottdviiri‘g’“ Well authenticated story,
the events lofwhich transpired twenty _or
twenty—five years ago, was related a short
time before Mycrbeer's dcatli,by M. Alphonse
Roye'r. who’was director of “L’Opera de
Paris." '
The inimitable accent and expression of
the witty raconteur will be wanting to the
reader, but the main parts are presented
nevertheless. .
At the time mentioned, Myerbeer‘s “L’Af-
ricaine” was in question, having been, as
~ report said, announced for twenty years,
promised by its author, and continually post-
poned for a multitude of reasons. ,
M. Ro'yer, like all the other directors
who succeed to “L’Opera” during this period
was ardently desirous of producing "L‘Afri—
caine."
He found himself in communication with
the illustrious master, and finally extracted
from hima formal promise, Myerbeer only
making one condition which concerned the
part of his ideal tenor, viz: _
If he suits me and I recoznize the quali-
ties of physique and voice which are indis-
pensible to the role of Vasco di' Gama, the
matter is quickly decided,I will give my
“Africaine.” ' j , ' , _
It will be seen that Myerbesr only bound
himself conditionally; but Royer had such
an Insatiable desire to present the new opera
that he accepted the terms withempressment.
“It is understood,” he exclaimed. ‘fBefore
two monthstill show you the ruraqwz's
you see 3' . , .
The very next day he hurried off an agent
I to Italy with, “Go, explore! find, bring to
me this incomparable tenor. I must have
him at any price. Spare nothing I shall
depend upon your untiring zeal to accomplish ‘
it." .7
The dramatic agent set out. The railroad
was not yet completed as far as Lyons, but
the representative of "L’Opera de' Paris”
was one of those indefatiguables who never
shrank from fatigue or danger. He took a
diligence to Lyons, overcame the Simplon.
and entered Italy.
Arrived there he began a series of explo-
rations. He Went from Naples to Venice
from Rome to Florence; from Bologna to
Milan. searching everywhere for the desired.
prodigy. He found nothing. Everyone had
something more or less Objectionable, and
did not exactly fulfill the ideal of Myerbeer
and Royer.
”At length, somewhat discouraged and'
foiled, he reached Pisa. O, miracle! He
discovered by chance, as it were, the ideal
siiQer; perhgps not entirely in conformity,
with the deafderatum of the director, but
evidently superior to all he had ever seen or
heard. The tenor was young, of fine pres-
ence, handsome, seemed intelligent, and
evinced a fresh, generous, penetrative voice.
It is true he spoke French like'a Languedo-
' cian, but with this exception he was superb.
The agent secured an interview with the
artist and made him an excellent offer. The
tenor, like all his confreres. was eager to ap-
pear in Paris, especially at the advent of
“L’Africaine.” ,
The agreement was therefore signed un-
reservedly, and the twain immediately set
out for France.
At first the voyage was a lively one. but
soon the tenor developed signs of secret dis—
quietude. .
Upon being pressed for the wherefore he
replied with some hesitation:
“I confess I‘Qave fear- of arrest on the
frontiers.” ‘
“Have you no passport ?”
"No, I would have taken one, but it would
not be best to show it."
“Why pr: .
“Because I am bound by an engagement,
with my present manager for aperiod of seven
years”. , ' ’
“And you did not tell the l" (Tableau).
“I will be very careful. You did not lead
me away.” ~ -
“Certainlynot; Iengage tenors, but I do”
not seize them bodily and carry. them 03,
and to prove this I shall take you back".
where I found you. -, _. .
The postillion had already receivedrorj':
ders to return, but the tenor begged arid"-
entreated importunately to be allowed to 'pro“
'ceed. .
“You are innocent," he said, “of my eva.‘_
lion, and I will bear all the responsibility.
BeSides, my engagement with the Italian
impresario contains a variety of irregular-it}:
ties in form. I can break it, and only wished
to' gain time by going off without. taking
leave. As soon as we reach Paris I will sub-
mit the case to arbitrators,and if'tli'ere should
he indemnity to pay you may attach my sala-
ary for the amount.” 5 " ._l .
The agent yielded to these érgtiinents. .

These terms cruelly Wounded the tenor’s
vanity, but as it was. unavoidable he accept:
ed them with as good grace as possible.
They reached the Italian boundary. The
carriage halted before the door of an inn
where they found assembled a large number
of travelers. _ , ,
“You must begin your role here," said the
representative of "L’Opera" to the singer.
"Carry my valise l” . j '

The second of November has arrived; we
would know it without the aid of an alma

for so many of us), goes downmeople seem
to be abroad on some purpose intent. This
man does not believe in so much fuss he goes
to the polls with his mind made up, deposits
his vote and goes about his day’s work as
usual. But to the larger part of the com—
munity it is a day of great excitement and
variety. At what other time is poor man-
kind so important ? It is a gala day for the
Chicken Streeter, when else has he an oppor.
tunity to ride out in style in a comfortable
carriage? When else are his fellow men
so kind and careful for his comfort, so con-
siderate of his feelings, so anxious to please
him'? He is a man and on equal standing
withall other men for one day in the year,
and he enjoys we variety and makes the

' The Cultivation of the Peach. .
as prevailed in Connecticut, that, in conse-
quence of a disease peculiar to the peach,
this kind of fruit could not be grown. And
the idea, up to within a very few years, has
been sustained by experience. Trees would
be planted, they would grow for a few years
with what appeared to be reasonable vigor,
perhaps bear fruit for a year and then lose
their vigor and finally .all vitality. With
this condition of things there was little
encouragement for undertaking the culture of
this kind of fruit. The older farmers and
fruit growers‘who had seen the peach tree
grow with vigor, fruit abundantly for a
,period of twenty-five or more years, would
’shake their heads in silence. But for some
unaccountable cause a change‘has come, and
brighter prospects are before the fruit
grower. Young trees are being set, fruit
of excellent quality is matured and the trees
still retain their vigor, appearing more as
they did in days of yore. It is now no un—
common thing to see a good sized,“ thrifty
peach orchard. No longer ago than 1870.
we saw orchards of peach trees in
this place, that answered the description of
those of the days of the disease, which dis-
rcouraged'auy general culture, ‘while' to-day
a good number of orchards are started and
some in bearing condition ; the most. notable
one in this line being that of Elisha D. Lewis,
a view of which we recently took, by
special invitation. Mr. Lewis set his first
trees some five or six years ago which were
obtained from a New York nursery. TheSe
he set near the house in a dry,gravelly soil of
medium fertility; to these he has added year
to year until he has above 100 trees, and to
which he proposes to add, year after year.
His treatment of the trees is to set them
carefully and then keep the ground under
cultivation; they are set from twelve to fif-
teen feet apart.For a year or two, crops such
as beans', potatoes,,etc., are cultivated be-
tween the trees, but as they increase in size
Mr. Lewis proposes only to run the cultiva-
tor over the surface to keep the soil loose and
free from weeds. The only fertilizer that he
gives to his trees is an application of human
urine and ashes, spreading over a little
surface about each tree, and such as comes
from a collection of fowls of different kinds
that roam among them.. Under this treat-
ment his trees are all vigorous and apparent-
ln healthy, possessing such a rich deep green
in the foliage as indicates strength of con?
stitution, nor does bearing change their
appearance; trees that have been in bearing
-for three years were looking as good is any
of those of less. This year Mr. Lewis has
less than 100‘trees in hearing, but the crop
taken in view of the fact was exceedingly
encouraging. The varieties grown are prin—
cipally of the standard varieties,such as Early
Nestor, Morris White, Early and Late
Crawford, etc., with individual trees of very
many of the other kinds. 0f the quality of
the from we can testify, since from Mr.
Lewis? liberality we were able to feast in
princely style; and for size and flavor of
frtlit Mr. Lewis need have no fears of being
any behind his brother fruit growers. He
picks splendid specimens of eight and nine
inches in circumference, sweet and melting
in the mouth. It has been a matter of cun-
venience to the people, and the fruit that
Mr. Lewis had to spare was eagerly sought
after by the neighbors, for canning purposes.
This new experience will be likely to infuse
new zeal among the lovers of the peach, and
we predict that a large number of trees will
be set in the years to come, and it is possible
that before many years We shall return to
such days as were enjoyed in the past. when
the abundance of peaches was such as to
make them a commonfruit, with quantities
decaying on the ground as apples do now.
Such a condition of. things would delight
many a boy and girl who are not able to ob-
tain all they could eat if they had an oppor-
tunity. WILLIAM H. Yaoimns.

There are also between 40 and 50 other

Furnessia,launched at Barrow,20th inst,is the
largest steamer now afloat next to the great
Eastern, but the cable telegram announcing
her _lauhch does not give her dimensions.
She is an Anchor line boat. The steamer
Alaska, new building on the Clyde for the
Gulch line, is to be'6,500 tons. Her owners
say that “her dimensions will be: Extreme
length, 500 feet; breadth of; beam, 50 feet,

There will be 250 state—rooms in the first
cabin, and the saloon will accommodate 350
passengers. The second cabin will contain
berths for 50 persons, and on the after end of
the main deek will be quarters for 120 steer-
age passengers. The Alaska will have a
capacityfor carrying 2,000 steerage passen-
gers if necessary. Her engines will have a
greater power than those of any veesel now
sailing the Atlantic. She will be a great
improvement on the Arizona. of the same
line, which is now the fastest ocean steam—
ship afioat.. Her boilers will be§heated by
54 (iifiereut furnaces. The Alaska will. in»
good weather, be able to cross the Atlantic
in six and one half days. No expense will
he'spared in trying to make her the finest, as
well as the swiftest steam-ship plying be~
tween Europe and New York. She will
carry four masts, and will be provided with
two smoke funnels.” '
Besides the above, there are now building
the City of Rome, for the Inman line, to be
8,500 tons; the Servia, for the Cunard line,
to be 7,500 tons, and the Catalona for same
line, to be the same tonnage. The. 'White
Star line have also a new steamer building to
be named the Majestic, to be larger than any
of their ships ‘now afloat.

the abbot to his carriage window as he was

gates, the king said to him: "Ask me a fa-

But lie'never again alluded to an episode in

The growth of mission Sunday schools
from small beginnings is illustrated by mis—
sionary Irwin, of the American Sunday
school Union, in Minnesota: “I have just
visited a school organized eight months ago,
which was pronounced a useless attempt. It
was started, after two days canvass, with
sixteen scholars. Last Sunday I preached
there to a hundred and two hearers; after
the sermon fifty-five were'galbered in the
Sunday school. I addressed a temperance
meeting there at night. The same afternoon
I visited anather school started a few weeks
ago with eighteen scholars. N ow there were
fiftyofive at the preaching. and thirty-eight
in the Sunday school. Another new school
had forty last Sunday, and Still another
doubled its numbers. in two weeks. 011 a
visit to Grand Fork and Polk Counties,I
organized seven Sunday schools in one week,
and could have organized more if the settle-
ments were hem-er, and travel were not. so
difficult on account of rains and floods.
After a walk of eleven miles to an appoint-
ment .in :1 scotch settlement, I had an au-
dience of twenty-three persons. Among them
was an old man. a new comer, who was
once a member of Dr. Guthrie's church.”

The evening shadows deepen:
The busy day is done, I .
And in the blue above us '
- The stars gleam one by one:
Beautiful stars that were hidden till now 7
. In the fierce, hot glare of the sun. I
And In the gathering darkness
I hear the g*urrying feet
0f the throng returning homeward
Along the crowded street;
Eager in home's dear shelter
Beloved ones to greet.
I see from every casement
The glow of ruddy light
Flashing, like precious jewels,
Upon the robe 05 night, ' .
Telling of cheer and welcome
Far warmer and more bright.
4AM my thoughts go on to the mansions
Prepared for us on high—
In the eternal city ' '
So far off, yet so nigh—
And the shining stars seem the household
lights
Of those homes'beyond the sky.
And there my loveddlucs are waiting,
Waiting my face to see
When} shall rest from my labors;
And I knowvthat there will be
Among those “many mansions"
One made ready for me.
Good-bye, Sweetheart, Good-bye.
Goodbye, sweetheart !
{Tis hard to leave thee, dear; my wildly
beating heart
Cries out against grim fate that says we
must part ;
‘Tllc good bye kiss I feel, but scarce thy form
can see
Through these hot, blinding tears, as now
I turn from thee. _
Good-bye. sweetheart! ,
When shall I hear again thy low, sweet, ten-
der voice ' '
Repeat the dear, fond words that made my
heart rejoice 1’
When shall I see again the love-light in thine
. eyes, - '
Forgetting all my griefs in love's sweet
Paradise ?
Goodbye, sweetheart!
0h whisper in my car once more ere I depart
'Thy promise ne‘er to take another to thy ,
heart;
And kiss me once again, and on thy loving
breast _ _
One moment lay my head, its chosen rest.
Good-bye, sweetheart!
I will believe thee, dear; thou’rt true as
' Heaven above—
I give thee perfect faith which comes of
perfect love ; -
And while I liVe my heart shall nevermore
be free—
_ All that I have or am belongs. dear love,
to thee. ‘
' Goodbye, sweetheart, good-bye!
‘ MY ooa'r,
BY BERANGER.
My poor, dear coat, be faithful to the end;
We both grow old; ten years have gone,
Through, which my hand has brushed thee,
ancient friend;
Not more could Socrates have done. .
Ifwehkened to the threadbare slate,
Thou still must suffer many a blow,
E'l-n like thy master brave the storms of fate,
‘ My good old coat, we’llsever part'—oh,nol
I still can well remember the first day
I wore thee—for my memory’s stroilg ;
It wss my birthday ; and my comrades gay
Chante‘d thy glories in a song.
Thy poverty might makeme vain;
Tie friends who loved me long- ago, ,
Though thou art poor, will drink to thee
again— ~
‘ My good old coat, we’ll-never part—oh,nol
This fine-drawn rent—its_causc I ne’er for-

It'beams upon my memory still;
I feigned one night to fly from my Lisette,
And even now her grasp I feel.
She tore thee, but she made more fast,
My fette'rs, while she wronged me so; 7
Then two whole days in mending thee she
passed ;
.My good old coat, we'll never part—ohmol
Ne’er drugged with musk and amber has:
thou been,
Like coats by vapid coxcombs worn;
Ne'er’ in an antechauiber werl. thou seen .
Insulted by the lordling’s scorn.
How wistfully all France has eyed
The hand that ribbons can bestow!
The field flower is thy button’s only pride-
My good old coat, we’ll never part—oh, no!
We shall not have those foolish days again
When our two destinies were one;
Those days so fraught with pleasure and with

Those days .of mingled rain and sun,

Unto a coatless realm I go :
Yet wait‘awhile, together we will end—-

Beside it purred her baby cat—

And far removed upon the scene.
Love-smitten Jack with bashful mien,
Threw furtive glances, ill at case.
To speak or move he did not dare-
And wished. a thouSand times repeated,
That he could slyly seal away, - ‘
And come again some other day,
When less distraught- and overheated.
But ah, poor Jack l though fain to go,
He would not for the world; for so

He‘d ruilltfl‘ mai'tydoms a score

The warning church bell counted ten.

And high hope hosting in his breast,
Had come his honest suit to press.

He sighed, as on the minutes flew;
“If she my errand could but guess!”

The hour hand crept with measured pace;
And ’ronnd the nimbier pointer hurried,
