HONEY.
A method Of taking the Honey without de-
stroylng tho Bees.

A method Of taking the Honey without de-
stroying the Bees.
The common practice of killing the
bees in order to obtain the honey, few
can witness, without soinc little COM
junction; and as there is a very simple
method Of eiIecting the object, without
any injury to this most interesting little
animal, which on the score Of interest as
we'll as humanity, claims regard, beg
leave to communicate it through your
paper.
In the evening when the bees have
retired, take the hive gently from It's
stand, and having spread table cloth
on the ground, set the hive On it, placing
something under to raise it three or
four inches-thcn draw up the corners
Of the cloth and fastcn them tight around
the middle Of the hive, leaving it So
loose below, that the bees will have suf-
hcient room to remain between it and
the hlvc--thcn raise the lid Of the hive
a little and blow in the smoke from a
cigar, few puffs of which, as it is We
ry disagreeable, will drive them down ;
continue raising the lid gradually, blow
ing in the smoke all around, and in a
few minutes it will be found that they
have al! gone out ofthe hive. You may
then take off the I'D, and cut away as
much CT the honey as you think proper.
If the operation be performed in the be-
ginning Of July, YOU may take nearly all,
as there viii be time enough to pro vide
a sufficiency for their support during
the winter. AS soon as you have taken
the honey. put on the lid, loosen the
clo5h and spread it out, and in an hour
CT two the bees will have returned into
the hive. 1t may then be placed on the
stand, and Oh the following day they
will be found at work as usual.
Tbs method is very simple, and pre-
fcrable TO that sometimes practiscd of
driving the bees into another hive, as
you pct all the honey, and moreover the
new comb which is sill empty, and the
young bees hot yet out ofthcir cells, are
preserycd--there is also danger in dri-
wing, of their not liking their new habi-
tation, ard in that case of saliying out
and making war upon their ncighbors.
The above method has frequently been
practised by myself and others, and have
always found it to do well.

arm. He stepped forward, TO hear more
distinctly. His step made a noise on
the gravel walk. A bright beautiful
face glanced out at the window, and
vanished-a light footstep was heard
and Mary came tripping forth to meet
us. She was in pretty rural dress of
white; few flowers were twisted in her
fine hair; a fresh bloom was on her
cheek; her whole countenance beamed
with smiles-I had never seen her look
so lovely.
"My dear George" cried she, 81
am SO glad you are come; I've been
watching and watching for you; and
running down the lane, and looking out
for you. I've set out table under
beautiful tree behind the cottage and
I've been gathering some of the most
delicious strawberries, for | know you
are fond of thenl--and we have such ex-
ceilent cream--and every thing is so
sweet and still here--Oh!" said she,
putting her arm within his, and looking
up brightly in his face, " Oh, we shall
be so snug ~
Poor Leslie was overcome.--He
caught her to his bosom--he folded his
arms around her--he kissed her again
and again---he could not speak, but the
tears gushed into his eyes. And be has
often assured me, that though the world
has since gone prosperously with him,
and his life has been happy enc, yet
never has he experienced a moment of
such unutterable felicity.

CANAL TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

SANA4' ~ HE fAClI1C OCEAN.
Mn. Fredericksburg in your paper
OF yesterday some observations on the
PROJECT OF passage to the Pacific ocean,
by means oil . canal across the Isthmus
Of Dariep, brings to the mind PROPOSE
ton made to the king Of Spain, by ST..
Don Salvador St. Martin, the bishop of
Chiapa, who resides in Cuidad Real,
which is the capital Of the province
West OF this city, the river Goazcealcos
takes its rise, and running N. L. falls into
gulf Of Mexico, aboutthirty leagues cast
Of Vera Cruz. it has ten and twelve feet
water on its bar, and is navigable for
craft Of four or five feet up to the above
city. East of the said city, the river Cor
stream which empties into the iiver)
Chinilapa takes its rise, and, taking
westerly direction, empties into the Pa
cihc ocean at the port of Tahuantipa,
which is a good harbor for large shi ps,
and the river is navigable for craft of
four or FIVE feet TIP TO the above city OF
Cuidad Real; the two rivers passing each
other at or near the city in parallel line
at the distance of only seven miles from
each other: neither of them have falls
10 impede their navigation, and the
ground through which canal would
have TO be cut to connect the two rivers,
| is neither mountainous nor rocky.
have seen minute description of
the rivers and countries through which
they pass, contained in petition to the
king of Spain, begging permission to
cut the above canal; twas presented i'll
1876, and contained the most convincing
evidence of the facility with which the
two oceans might be connected. The
petition met with an utter denial from the
king of Spain. Had it been granted, the
intention Of those concerned was to have
steam boats employed between the two
oceans, which would have made a voyage
in much less time than it occupies be-
tween this and Louisville, and as the
mouth of the Goazacealcos is not more
than eight or ten days saffron the mouth
of the Mississippi, may we not with pro-
priety hope that Spanish America will
soon shake off the European yoke, when
she will be at liberty to make inn
proyements for her own benefit, without
consulting those who have 30 rule Of go-
vernment but their own jealous fears
Should such a communication be OPEN
ed between the two oceans, what cal
cnlations canrealize the future grandeur
of New Orleans!

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
PYROLIGNEoUs ACID.


Extract Of q letter from u. c. G. at Faris.
A discovery Of the greatest importance
engages al this moment the attention of
the physicians, the chemists, and the gov
ernment. A person of the name of Mango
has discovered that the pyroigneous
acid, obtained by the distilIation OF wood,
has the property OF preventing the dc
composition and putrctaction of animal
substances. 1t is sufficient to plunge
meat for a few moments into this acid,
even slightly empyreumatic, to preserve
this meat as long as YOU may eesirc.--
Outlets, kidney, liver, rabbits, which
were prepared as far back as the month
Of July last, are now as fresh as il they
had been just procured from the market.
! have seen carcases washed three weeks
ago with pyrolgneous acid, in which
there is yet no sign Of decomposition
putrtiaction not only stops but it even
retrogradcs. Jahes exhaling infection,
cease to do Sc, as soon as you pour into
them the purifying acid. You may
Judge how many important applications
may be made Of this process. Naviga-
ton, medicine, unwholesome manufac-
tories, viii derive incalculable adsanta-
ges from it. This explains why meat,
merely dried in a stove, does not keep,
while dat which is smoked becomes ua-

Peceiht for making Rye Coffee.

Then put it into boiling water over the

ready to burn or dry over the fire as cof-

of the theory of hams, of the beef of

serve it from worms, sc.

fore the meat is put down for cooking. Per-

scryation of animals for anatomical and olher

Bacon, or any other kind Of smoked
meat, it Is said, may be preserved from
shippers, by washing it in the juice of
elder, and the shippers dislodged or de-
stroyet, by-pouring elder juice in the
places in the meat in which they have
lod8ed. lie JUICE is obtained by bruis-
ing the fresh leaves in a mortar, adding
a little water, and pressing through a
suitable cloth.
1t is said Potatoes may be kept good
the whole year, by dipping them in hot
water, as the Scots preserve eggs, by
killing the living principle; and as the
germ is so near the skin, it would not
hurt the Potatoc. One or two minutes,
at most, would be sufficient: in all open
