A circumstance no. surprising, when

THE QUEEN-BEE AT HoME.-The COM
mnnity of bees is an example of a pure mon
archy, unrestraned by any checks on pow
er, yet never deva'ing into despotism on the
one hand, or anarchy on the other. Some
years ago, while our gracious queen was
making royal progress through her north
ern domnions, we witnessed no less inte-
resting sight Of the progress of queen-bee,
in the glass hive of an ingenious friend and
lover Of nature at his country retreat. The
hive was of that construction which opened
from behind, aud showed the whole econo-
my within. In few minutes the queen
made her appearance from the lower part of
the hive. Her elongated body and tapering
abdomen at once distinguished her. She
moved along slowly, now and then pauslng
to deposi, 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 a circle around
her, with their heads nvariable turned to-
wards her. This guard was reived at fire.
qnenf intervals, so that, as she walked for
ward, 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
always seemed to give pleasure, which was
indicated by quivering movement of the
wings. The laborers, in whatever way oc-
cupied, Immediately forsook their work and
came 10 pay homageto their queen, by form
ing guard around her person. Every 9th
er par, of the hive, meanwhile, presented a
busy scene. Many bees were seen moving
their bodies with 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. Ere
queni arrivals of bees from the field brought
pollen on their thighs for the young grubs,
and honey, which they deposited in the cells.
Ali was activity, order, and peaceful indus
try. None were idle but the drones, who
seemed to stroll about like gentlemen

How TO CATCH HAwKs.-The following
ingenious meth d, for destroying these pests
to the farmer is given by S. Webb, Esq, of
Waldo County, Maine, in late number of
the Belfast Republican: Street a pole,
twelve or fifteen feet high, in place where
there will not be any thing else near for
them to light upon, and upon it set COM
mon fox-trap, on which they will light. A
strong rat-trap will answer the purpose, by
tying it to the pole leng,hwise, with the
jaws raised above the end, the pole being a
little leaning. SO that the jaws will not fall
together. When, one hawk is taken, tie it
on the ground near the pole, and its mate
Will be in the trap in a short time The sea-

their depredalions. Printers in the United
States, by giving this an insertion, will cir

FRANKLIN'S RESTING PLACE.
Such was his worth, hisloss was such,
We cannot love ton wnII or oriouo tao

Such was his WORTH his loss was such,
We cannot love too well, or grieve too much"
In one corner Of the burying- ground, best
known as Christ's Church yard, Philadel-
phla, repose the remains of the philosopher
Franklin. On entering the yard from Arch
street, attention will unavoidably be direct
ed to his humble tomb by a we'll trodden
path which leads from the gate to the mar
BILE slab which bears the simple inscription,
which will at once strike the beholder with
wonder, viz: "BENJAMIN AND DEBORAH
FRANKLIN" With wonder, say, because
we are accustomed to see the stones cover
ing the tenements Of great men inscribed
with eulogiums; but the one we are now
beholding has nothing but the words above
quoted, and the year in which it was placed
there.
And this is the grave of man who might
once have been seen, a runaway boy, in the
streets of Philadelphia, seeking employment
as printer and again, as editor and pro-
prietor of the United States Gazette, long so
ably conducted by Mr.. Chandler. Once
trying experiments with simple paper kite;
again, astonishing the world with the dis
coveries made through its fundamentally

he was one of those who signed away their
lives, fortunes and honors, if necessary. for
the welfare of their fellow -citzens But all
this could not save him from the hand oil
death. Thong the Philosopher and the
Statesman must lie as low as the less favor
ed, yet the circumstances connected with
the lives of those whose motto was ':non si1i
sed pairg," possess charms which all can
appreciate and all love to cherish. We read
his name on the marble slab-ponder over
his virtues, and mourn his loss, as of dear

think how many have gazed with reverence
upon that stone, and our eyes become fixed
upon it as though it possessed an endearing

and feel that they have coloured our whole
destiny. Who can say, bu. that for one
year, one week, one day, how di1eren,
would all have been? Silently, unconsci-

OBsERvATIoN.-Ca Careful observation, and
a habit of taking cognizance of those around
us, and the actual state Of affairs which are
of interest, are worthy of attention. To the
husbandman, this practice Of nice observa-
ton and careful notation of facts and cir
cumstances that come in his way, or with
which he may come IL contact. is often of
much practical use. ..-. 49,.
| 1t is no mystery 10 SUPPOSE that, in order
10 pass through the world with common, or
perhaps more than ordinary facility and con-
venience, we must have our eyes open. and
our ears unstopped. II is hardly reasonable
to suppose that an individual can stumble or
biunder through the world, without a dis
advantageous tendency.
The farmers success, in large degree,
depends upon observation.
Experiments, without noting the actual
circumstances connected Herewith, avail
but little.
When conducted in loose, careless man
ner, as the often are, experiments are preJu-
dlclal to the interests Of the expermenter,
because he has failed to make correct nota-
tons of his own acts attendant circumstan-
ces upon which the feasibility of the pro-
ject depends.

Guilty of high order; and one needs only
to be deprived thereof to duly appreciate
the lnestimable value OF this endowment of
the great Creator.
