IMMENSE NATURAL BEE HIVE.

In cavern on the right bank of the Color
ado about 7 miles above Austin there is an i'm
mense hive of wild bees, which is one of the most
interesting natural curoSites in that section.
The entrance of this cavern is situated in ledge
OF limestone, forming high cliff which rises al.
most perPendlculariy from the river bank TO the
height Of about one hundred feet from the waters
edge. This cliff fronts partly on a small stream
named Bill creek. The mouth of this cavern is
about ten feet below the top of the cliff. In
warm day dark stream of bees may be constant
ly seen winding out from the cavern like long
dark wreath of smoke. This stream often ap-
pears one or TWO feet in diameter near the cliff,
and gradually spreads out like fan, growing
thinner and thinner at distance from the cavern
until it disappears. The number of bees in this
cavern must be intellectually great, probably
greater than the number in a thousand or ten
thousand ordinary hives. The oldest settlers
say that the hive was there when they first ar
rived in the country, and it is quite probable that
1t existed In the same state many years previous
to the settlement Of the country. The bees it is
said have never swarmed, and il is not improba-
Bile, that the hive has continued, for more than
century, TO increase year after year in the same
ratio that other swarnS increase. The cave APP
pears to extend back many rods into the ledge,
and probably has many lateral chambers. The
bees doubtless occupy many of these lateral
chambers, and it is not improbable that new
swafms annually find new chambers to occupy,
and thus they are prevented from going off to a
distance in search of hives. Some Of the neigh
boring settlers have repeatedly, by blasting the
rocks, opened passage into some Of these cham
bers, and procured by this means many hundred
pounds of honey. But the main deposits are
situated too deep in the ledge TO be reached with
out great difficulty and perhaps danger.
company was formed at Austin few years
since for the purpose Of exploring the cavern and
removing the honey; but some untoward even,
prevented the accomplishment Of the undertaking
1t it estimated that there are many tons Of honey
and wax in this immense hive, and if its treasure.
could be extracted readily, they would doubtless
be found far more valuable than the contents oil
any silver or gold mine, that adventurers have
been seeking for years in that secton.--Tena,

Go forth into the country,
From world Of care and guile;
Go forth to the untainted ar,
And TO the sunshinc's open smile
II shall clear thy clouded brow
1t shall loose the worldly coil
That binds thy heart too closely up,
Thou man of care and toll
Go forth into the country,
Where gladstone sights and sounds
Make the hearts pulses thrill and leap
With fresher, quicker bounds.
They shall wake fresh life within
The minds enchanted bower;
Go, student of the midnight lamp,
And try their magic power!
Go forth into the country,
With its songs of happy birds,
Its fertile wales, its grassy hills,
Alive with hocks and herds.
Against the power of sadness

Go forth into the country,

Where the strawberry ncstlcs mid the fnrze,
And the holly berries grow.
Each season hath its treasures,
Like the air all free and wild
Who would keep thee from the country,
Thou happy, artlcss child?

And many an altar on its hills
Sacred TO peace and love.
