done by an artificial swarm also. A num-
Der of bees <not an uncommon circumstance
depended in large cluster, from the door
of the hive: he suddenly removed the hive
from their sight, and placed another in its
room containing empty cells, having pre-
vously taken the precauton of putting into
ii about three inches square of honey comb,
containing larva and honey; and the astonish-
ment of the bees was very great when they
entered the new hive, and missed their rich
stores and their beloved monarch, the fair
and stately queen they hustled about in
every direction; but the next day finding
that the royal family had removed, and ta-
ken away the treasure, they began to lay
the foundation of royal cells, and in course
of time made themselves a new queen. Mr.
Dunbar has repeated this last experiment
with great success.

Barbers.-Of the BARRIERS art as practiced
formerly, Archdeacon Mares gives curious
sample from Lylv, an old dramatist; one of
the characters, being barber, says, "Thou
knowest have taught thee the knockings Of
the hands, the tickling on a mans hairs,
like the turning of titterne; | instructed
thee in the phrases of our eloquent occupa
tlon, as how, sir, will you be trimmed will
you have your beard like a spade or bod
kim q penthouse on your upper lip, or an
alley on your chin. a low curl on your head,
or like bull; or dangling lock like spaniel?
Your mustachois sharp at the end; like shoe
makers avis, or hanging down to your
mouth like goats flakes? your love locks
wreathed with silken twist, or shaggie, to
fall on Your sboulders?"

From an English Paper.
THE QUEEN BEE.

On Saturday, 22d March, the Edinburg
Wernerian Society met for the first time
this season, and we were happy to see nu-
merous meeting. The first paper that was
submitted to their notice was on the con-
version of the ,arva. of a working bee into
queen bee,' by the Rev. - dunbar, OF Ap-
plegarth. Mr.. Dunbar states that he no
,iced the operations of hive on the loss OF
queen: for the first day all was noise and
confusion, when the loss was discovered
After this had little subsided, in conse-
queacc Of the loss being ascertained, the bees,
to avoid state OF anarchy, laid the founda-
tion of royal cells, and of four more the next
day, and placed the larva of (what is sup
posed to be) the working bee in them. AT
the end of fourteen days, new queen issued
forth from one of the cells, and with an in
stinct equallipg Turkish wisdom and poll.
cy, proceeded to tear open the other royal
cells, no doubt with the determination OF de-
stroying what was likely to produce riva
70 her power. The working bees rebelled
against this unconstitutional exercise OF au-
thority, and hauled her majesty away from
her job. They succeeded in protecting tht
junior branches IF the royal family, ane
were rewarded for their loyalty, by ths
birth of a princess. But it was OF no avail
Tor the Czarina, who had as it should seem
apreferable claim, in virtue of the priorit.
OF her birth, killed her fair and unfortunat
rival. Mr.. Dunbar, in confederation of tn

HIGHLAND MARY.

In the West church of Greenock, without
a stone to mark the place, slumber the ash
es of Burns Highlander, Mary. On late
visit to that town, curiosity and a hope OF eli
citing some particulars respecting the object
Of the poets love, induced us to pay a visit
to the mother of Mary Campbell, now re-
siding there. We found her tidy, hale
old woman, OF four score, seated beside her
''wee bit inglc," and busily employed at her
spinning wheel, with the product of which
and little assistance fron the Parish, she
manages to exc cut sort OF livelihood.
Her daughter Mary soon became the subject
OF conversation, and we found her extreme
ly communicative. she stircd that when
herdaughtcr came from Ayrshire, she spoke
often OF the correspondence she had there
maintlncd with Burns, and said that he re-
peatetlly offered her his hand, and told her
he would come o.any part of tho Highlands
and marry her. He likewise mentioned that
it was his intention to so to the West Indies,
but he said, in the event of this taking place,
he would settle yearly sum upon his High
land Mary until he returned.
Burns galantry at this time formed a
theme for gossips, and Mary almost dreaded
union with one whom her friends condemn
ed as rake. Had she survived, these OBJ
jections would have been surmounted; but
alas their last farewell was spoken; ere they
were long separated the resistless arm OF
death numbered Mary among his victims,
and she was mingled with the clods Of the
valley-while the bard, unconscious of his
loss, was revelling i'll visionary prospects OF
domestic bliss. Impatient at the delay and
silence of his betrothed, Burns wrote re-
peatedly to the Highlands. but could obtain
Il, h In,
addressed letter Of inquiry to her uncle at
Greenock, and BY him the melancholy truth
was unfolded. To one whose bosom was
tenderly alive to the finer feelings and pas
sions, this proved an overwhelming blow
| his mental anguish was affecting in the ex-
treme, and his sorrows were vented in the
well known impassoned address ITO Mary
in Heaven" After Mary's death, severa
letters from Burns, breathing all the ardoul
and enthusiasm which characterised his eff
fusious, were discovered i'll her chest. These
with letter addressed to Mrs. Campbell
/ by her intended son-in-law, were committee
to the flames by the ruthless hand of one o
Mary's brothers.
The last parting scene between the youth
full lovers, as described by the poet, was ex
tremely impressive.-Af,er spending a da,
of parting love, on the bonny banks of Ayr
they stood on the opposite banks of limpi'
stream exchanging bibles, and vows of etcr
nal fidelity. The Bible which Burns tina
day placed in the hands of his SOULS idol i

Had canopied the tarest and the first

Her sleeping infant, (lalfn sacred fear)
On the same couch late hallow'd by his God.
She knelt, and on her circlng arms reclined;
The babes soft breathings to her matron heart
Made blessed music, and hcrinnoccnt thoughts,
Free from distractng care, had wove dream

And the sweet smiles which lishtened, play q and

At the beginning ofthis century, the Mar

Spain to the Hague. In his youth he had
been particularly intimate with the Count
de Moncade, grandee of Spain, and one Of
the richest mobiles of the country Some time
after the Marquis arrival at the Hague, he
received letter from the Count, entreat-
ing him, in the name of their former friend
ship, to render him the greatest possible SER
vice.
s'You know said he, my dear Marquis,
the modification felt that the name OF Mon
cade was likely to expire With me. At length
it pleased heaven to hear my prayers, and
to grant me son he gave early promise
of dispositions worthy of his birth; but he

Sweet as the calm that DER the sea
Attwilight's hour steals silently,
Are those loved minutes men may steal
From this sad world of woe and care,
To search their hearts, and blissful feel
Some early recollcctions there;
Some little hymn, to which the knee
Oft bends in earliest infancy.
Some short prayer, which the memory
Can call forth just as easily
As when child-or when, perhaps,
Maternal eyes would gaze and weep,
While, sinking in our sisters laps,
They lull'd us with this prayerto sleep.
Oh, thought divine! cen life's rough sea
That hour would gid most lovely.
