Hush she is dying! The sunlight streams
through the plate glass windows-the room is
fragrant with the sweet breath Of Southern
Towers large milk.white African lilies

cape iassemines, and camilias with their large,
glossy leaves
Through the oTel easement steals the faint,
musical tinkle Of playing fountains -and the
light tempered pleasantly by rose curtains Of
embroidered satin. kindles up gorgeous old
paintings with halo bright as a rainbow. Il
is as if fresher sunshine was falling carthWard

The canary sings in his gilded cage-her

Why do you clench your hand I'LL the nails

HONEY BEEs.-The Albany Cultivator has
an article on honey bees, from the pen OF a
distinguished Professor, from which we quote
the following paragraph: Many nearly
every bOdy-suppose that the bee culls honey
from the nectar Of the flowers, and simply
carries it to his cell in the hive. This is not
correct. The nectar it collects from the hOw-
er, is a portion Of its food or drink the hon
ey it deposites in its cell, is a secretion from
its melli6c or honey secreting glands, (anal-
ogOus to the milk secreting gland of the COW
and other animals) If they were the mere
collectors and transporters Of honey from the
flowers to the honey-comb, then we would
have the comb frequently filed with molasses,
whenever tho bees have fed at the molasses
hogshead. The honey-bag in the bee, per-
forms the same functions as the cows bag or
udder. merely receiving the honey from the
secretiug glands, and retaining it until a
proper opportunity presents for its being de-
posted in Its appropriate stOre-house, the
honey.comb Another error is, that the bee
collects pollen from the flowers accidentally,
while it is in search Of honey. Quite the con-
trary is the fact The bee, while 10 search
Of nectar, or honey. as it is improperly called.
does not collect pollen. 1t goes in search Of
pollen specially. and also for nectar. When
the pollen Of the q lwer is ripe, and fit for the
use Of the bee, there it No nectar when there
is nectar. there is no pollen fit for use in the
hower.-It is generally supposed, also. that
the bee collects the wax from which it con-
structs its comb from some vegeta@ sub
stance. This is also an error. The wax is
secretion from its body, as the honey is. and
it makes its appearance in small scales or
fakes, or under the rings Of the belly and
is taken thence by other bees. rendered
plastic by mixture with the saliva Of the bees
mouths, and laid on the walls Of the cell with
the tongue, very much in the way a plasterer
uses his trowel."

70 It is known as a fact in geology. that
below the depth of thirty feet, the earth be-
comes regularly warmer as we descend. On
an average. the increase is at the rate of one
degree Of Fahrenheit for every 6ty feet. At
the bottom of the mines Of Corwall-a depth
Of one thousand and two hundred feet the
Thermometer stands at eighty-eight. equal to
high summer heat. At this rate, rocks and
metals would be melted twenty miles below
the surface; and down in the bowels of the
earth. several hundred miles, the heat will be
ten thousand times hotter than melted iron.
Who is there that can wonder at earthquakes,
when all things rest on a molten sea Of FIRE !

is often asked. why do SO many storms and
disasters happen on Lake Erie +? Why the
difference between that and the other lakes
composing the great chain between the United

be caused by the extreme shallowness Of its
waters, which are more easily disturbed than

LEARNING TO SPELL.-Bad spelling is very
discreditable Every young man should be
master Of his native tongue.-He that will
not learn to spell the language that is en- his
tongue, and before his eyes every hour, shows
no great aptitude for the duties Of an intelli-
gent, observing man. Bad spelling is, there
fore, an unavoidable indication. It indicates
a laundering man-a man that cannot see
with his eyes open. Accordingly, we have
known the application of more than one
young man, made with great display Of PEN
manship aud parade Of references, rejected
for bad spelling.
Bad spelling is very conspicuous-a bad
indication. He who runs may read it.
A bright school-boy, utterly incapable Of
appreciating your stories Of science, art, and
literature, can see your bad spelling at a
glance, and crow over it. You will find it
hard to inspire that boy with any great respect
for your attainments. Bad spelling is, there
fore, very Notifying and inconvenient de-
feet We have known men thrown iuto
prominent positions, SO ashamed Of their de-
6ciency in this respect. that they had never
ventured to send letter till it had been re-
yised by friend. This was, to say no more,
sufficiently inconvenient.
/ say again, learn to spell, voting man =
Keep your eyes open, when you read; and il
any word is spelled different from your mode,
ascertain which is right Keep your diction-
airy by you and in writing, whenever you
have the least misgiving about the spelling Of
a word. look it out at once-and remember
it. Do not let your laziness get the better
of you.

WHIG MEETING.

"a notice for a Wing meeting will be
found in to.day's paper. Union Democrats
are requested to come up and participate "
in it. We presume that the call is intended
to extend TO such Union Democrats as are
dissatisfied with the nominations made at the
Democratic State Convention. The Wings
will ind that dissatisfied Union Democrats are
as scarce as hens teeth in this county. We
speak for ourselves, however; we profess to
be a strong Union man, and look with no
friendly eye upon any attempts at dissolution
Of our glorious Republic, and shall use what
ever ability God has given US to prevent what
we deem would be the worst calamity that
could befall us as a nation. We look upon
the action Of the convention as a fair and
equitable adjustment Of the difference which
existed in the party previous to this year, and
can but laugh at any attempts Of our willy
antagonists to re-create the defunct issues. "

Invitation Extraordinary.

We find in the Dc Kalb Gazette, the fol-
lowing singular call for Wing meeting in
the county Of Kempar:
WING MEETING.
There will be a Wing meeting at the
Court House in De Kalb on Saturday. the
l1th day Of June, 1853. for the purpose Of
selecting delegates to attend the Wing cou.
yention at jackson, on I'd Monday Of July
next. The Wings of Kemper are requested
to turn out On that day. and Union Demo
Gratis are aLsO requested 10 came up and
participate ia tie meeting as far as may
comport with their views and feelings"
This is the coolest piece Of presumption
we have seen for many day. II has not
the merit Of candOr TO recommend It, The
Wings of Kemper invite Union Democrats TO
help them to Office; but 70 obtain their end,
they do not forfeit their selfrespect so far as
to abandon their own colors and fight under
false ones. But for what purpose do the
Wings invite this cooperation! What sort
Of feast do they propose to spread for their
guests What is their creed What meas
ures are they contending for Do they pro-
pose to rally party for the restoration Of the
Fillmore dynasty, with all its iniquities, at
the expiration Of Gen. Piercc's term? Do
they propose controlling those over whom they
so generously offer to throw the mantle of
their protecting care, so that they may be
taught to slide gracefully with them into the
support Of a Seward candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1856? Or have they an eye TO our
home affairs? Probably they wish to estab-
lish another brood of swindling shops. yclept

and spread broadcast the seeds Of desOlatiOn

have come under the influence of another
Honor and Dignity" mania, and are bent
on taxing the people TO pay the debt illegally
incurred for the benefit Of the old Union
Bank. We hope some of the heads Of the
party will inform us upon these points. :
But it seems the invitation so disinterestedF
and patriotically rendered, is not likely to be
accepted. The Editor Of the De Kalb ga
zette, very sterling Democratic paper, is
himself one Of those included in the invita-
ton. He adocated acquiescence in the series
Of acts passed in 1850; and here is what he
says in his own behalf, and in the name of

Banks Of Ohio.

We have received a copy of the special
report of the Auditor of State, giving the
circulation of the various branches of the
State Bank of Ohio on the tilst day Of May
and November last. 1t appears from the
report hat the circulation has increased
$2G2, $40. This don'tlook much like "wind-

Return Of the Mexican Gardner
Commission.


Henry May, Esq, and others appointed
By The Government as a Committee TO
search for Gardner and Corwin's silver
mine in Mexico, have returned. 1t will be
remembered that the parties concerned in
the transaction which the Committee of
SeaSch was an agency of investigation, sue
ceeded in swindling the treasury out of about
half a million of dollars. Mr., Corwin hav-
ing received for his share in the humbgR
"claim" about 500, 900. Gardner accom-
panied the Committee as far back toward
Washington as Charleston.
Their report has not transpired, but it is
said will confirm the report that no mine
could be found by the Commissioners, tho
they travelled sixteen hundred miles on
mules in search of it. Hargous and other
Americans returned with the Commission
ers. Senator Soule, chairman of the Gard
ner claim committee, will give the subject
early attention. The Charleston Courier
says that Mr.. May and his colleagues have
brought witnesses with them to prove that
the claim is a grand humbug.
1t is stated that Gardeners trial will pro,

Bank Rebellion!

A number of the Banking institutions in
Ohio, have refused to pay the taxes assessed
against them under Che existing revenue
law. We have an instance of this kind in
Columbiana C unity. The Salem Branch of
the State Bank Of Ohio has utterly refused
to pay its taxes according to law. On the
3rd Instant, our County Treasure proceeded
to that Bank, for the purpose OF restraining
its property O satisfy the amount of taxa
ton legally assessed upon it, and was, then
and there, resisted in the discharge of his
official duties. by the President of the Bank
and his minions, with force a d armS!!!

ment on the part of the Salem Bank. What

open rebellion against the laws of the State
