The Queen-Res nj Hang.

The community Of bees is an example
OF pure monarchy, unrestrained by any
checks on power, yet never deviating into
desPotism on the one hand, or anarchy on
the other. Some years ago, while our gra-
cious queen was making a royal progress
through her northern dominions, we wit.
messed no less interesting sight Of the pro-
gress of queen-bee, in the glass-hive Of an
ingenious friend and lover of nature at his
country retreat. The hive was of that con-
structlon which opened from behind and
showed the whole economy within. In a
few minutes, the queen made her appear
ance from the lower part Of the hive. Her
elongated body and tapering abdomen at
once distinguished her. She moved along
slowl y, now and then pausing to deposit an
egg in one Of the empty combs; and it was
most Interesting TO perceive how she was
constantly accompanied by nearly a dozen
of bees that formed circle around her,
with their heads invariably turned towards
her. This guard was relieved at frequent
intervals, so that, as she walked forward, a
new group Immediately took the place of
the old, and these, having returned again,
resumed the labors in which they had been
previously engaged. Her appearance al
ways seemed to give pleasure, which was
indicated by qulverlng movement Of the
wings. The laborers, in whatever way &C.
cupied, Immediately forsook their work and
came to pay homage to their queen, by
forming a guard around her person. Every
other part Of the hive, meanwhile, presented
a busy scene. Many bees were seen moving
heir bodies with a tremulous motion, by |
which thin and minute films Of wax were
shaken from their scaly sides. Others were
ready to take up this wax and knead it into
matter proper for constructing cells. FIRE.
luent arrivals Of bees from the fields brought
'ollen on their thighs for the young grubs,
md honey, which they deposited in the
ellis. All was activity, order, and peace
al industry. None were idle but the drones,
Who seemed TO stroll about like gentlemen.

The Discovery OF Hercs In m.

In noticing the wells Of ancient Italy,
We may refer 10 circumstance, which al.
though trivial in itself, led to the most sur.
prising discovery that has ever taken place
on this globe, and one which in the interest
1t has excited is unexampled. In the early
part OF the eighteenth century, I'LL, an
Italian peasant while DIGGING WELL
near his cottage, found some fragments of
colored marble. These attracting attention,
led TO farther excavation, when a statue OF
Hercules was disinterred, and shortly after
ward mutilated one Of Cleopatra. These
specimens Of ancient art, were found at
considerable depth below the surface, and
in place which subsequently proved to be

like Lots wife in similar calamity. Her
culaneum therefore had been buried 1880
years! and while every memorial of it was
lost, and even the site unknown, it was

owners were actively moving among them.
Even the skeletons Of some Of the inhabi-
tants were found; one, near the threshold of
his door, with bag Of money in his hand.
and apparently in the act of escaping.
The light which this important discovery
reflected upon numerous subjects connected
with the ancients, has greatly eclipsed all
previous sources Of information; and as re-
CARDS some Of the arts Of the Romans. the
information thus obtained may be consider
ed almost as full and satisfactory as if one
OF their mechanics had risen from the dead
and described them.
