HONEY DEW,

Of the Elm, and other vegetable vel

and morning, it is found most plenti.
fully, and is even perceived dropping
from the leaves Of the trees. 1t is
of viscid and mucilaginous consist
ence. is probably soluble in water.
and has sweet taste not dissimilar
to honey. We dn not know how this
phenomenon is explained, but are in
Clined to be of opinion, that the honey
dew is vegetable exhalation, pro-
badly never discoyerable, except in
the summer months, when the earth
is covered with the heaviest and the
richest verdure. Its appearance, there
fore, at this time, is undoubtedly ow-
ing to the unusually rapid progress
of vegetation. The saccbarine juice
of vegetables may, from its redun-
dance, exhale or unite with the atmos.
pbere, and afterwards distill upon the
same vegetable. Our land, therefore,
literally 4" flows with honey"
