MISERY OF GREATNESS.

1t is stated in of the English papers that gran
dee and peer of Spain has lately been employed in
breaking stones. on high road in the neighborhood
of London, for the dminutve sum of one shilling per
day. to support his wife and three children. Now had
this man been apprentced in his youth to useful
trade it s not at all probable he would have been
driven to the necessity of leaving his native country
If he had, his hands would have ensured hin much
better support in any country than he possibly
GAIN with all his nobility of blood to introduce him.
Young men ought never to be too proud to learn
trade. Education and good trade are properties
which, like good reputation, are above all price,
When titles and honors fail and charity shuts up her
springs education and skill like the philosophers
stone they convert the very selfshness and ava
rice of man into the means of support. Even in our
land of equality where few above the necessity of
their personal exertions to gam livelihood, how
many do we see superlatvey wretched and even con-
temptiblc and all because they had not been Injured
to early habits of industry Young readers, you can
conceive the hundredh part of the advantages to
be derived, to you and to the country, from an early
proficiency in the knowledge of useful trade.

Bee NOTES.-THE sagacity of man enables him to
discover the peculiar habits which instinct leads the
subordinate creation adopt for selfpreservation and
his inventive faculty frequently suggests TO him some
mode by which the instructive habits of such are
noxious may be conducive to their destruction. Thus
we discover that instinct teaches the bee moth to Sc
crete herself during the day in the of the hive
ALL therefore, take such advantage of this fact that
this most pernicous enemy shall rush to its des
tructon. For this purpose let the orifce of the hive
be four inches wide and one inch high. At the COM
mcncement of the season for the moth, place shin
gle on the bottom floor of the hive You will find
in the morning that almost every moth has taken ref
uge under it. They thus readily despatched
This is the mode have practsed with my own bees,
