# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Adams, William Forbes

​ADAMS, William Forbes, second bishop of Easton, and 109th in succession in the American Episcopate, was born in Enniskillen, Ireland, Jan. 2, 1833. At an early age he was brought to America by his parents, who settled in Kentucky. Young Adams was fitted for Yale, but pecuniary reverses attendant upon the failure of his father in business, obliged him to forego his plans. He bravely accepted the change in his circumstances, obtained a mercantile situation, and in his leisure time studied law. At the age of twenty-one he was admitted to the Mississippi bar. He removed to Tennessee, and pursued his theological studies with a view to entering the church; he returned to Mississippi before the completion of his course, and was ordained a deacon in St. Andrew's church, Jackson, Miss., in 1859; he was admitted to full orders July 29, 1860. His first charge, which he held for six years, was St. Paul's, Woodville, Miss.; in 1866 he became rector of St. Peter's, New Orleans, and took charge of St. Paul's in the same city the following year, where he remained until his consecration as first missionary bishop of New Mexico and Arizona in 1875. He accepted the duties of his charge with every promise of abundant success, but the fatigues of the long and painful journeys, necessary in so new and extensive a diocese, undermined a constitution already impaired by his ministrations to sufferers from yellow fever in Louisiana, and compelled his resignation, which in 1877 was accepted by the house of bishops. From 1876 to 1887 Dr. Adams was rector of Holy Trinity, Vicksburg, Miss., when he was again elected to the episcopal office, as bishop of Easton. He received the degree of D.C.L. from the university of the South, Sewanee, Tenn.

# The Bee-Boy's Song

From Puck of Pook's Hill (1906), where it accompanies the story "Dymchurch Flit".
THE BEE BOY'S SONG
Bees! Bees! Hark to your bees! 'Hide from your neigbours as much as you please, But all that has happened, to us you must tell, Or else we will give you no honey to sell!'
A maiden in her glory, Upon her wedding-day, Must tell her Bees the story, Or else they'll fly away. Fly away—die away— Dwindle down and leave you! But if you don't deceive your Bees, Your Bees will not deceive you.
Marriage, birth or buryin', News across the seas, All you're sad or merry in, You must tell the Bees. Tell 'em coming in an' out, Where the Fanners fan, 'Cause the Bees are justabout As curious as a man!
Don't you wait where the trees are, When the lightnings play, Nor don't you hate where Bees are, Or else they'll pine away. Pine away—dwine away— Anything to leave you! But if you never grieve your Bees, Your Bees'll never grieve you.

​APPLETON, Samuel, philanthropist, was born at New Ipswich. N. H., June 22, 1766, son of Isaac and Mary (Adams) Appleton. As one of the twelve children of a farmer not over well-to-do, he was compelled to begin work at an early age, and had little opportunity for education.

When twenty years of age he set out for Maine, where, in the woods, two miles from any dwelling, he cleared some land and built a hut. He carried all his implements and provisions to his cabin on his back over a road that he had blazed out for himself. Here for two years he lived alone. The logs he cut in Maine woods brought him money enough to open a store in New Ipswich, and he prospered so well that in 1794 he removed to Boston, where he engaged in the importing business. In 1813, in connection with his brother Nathan, Francis C. Lowell, Patrick T. Jackson, Paul Moody and others, he established cotton mills at Waltham and Pawtucket Falls. In 1823 he retired from business, and thenceforth devoted his entire income to benevolent uses.
