FEEDING BEEs.-A writer in the Ohio
Cultivator after dsscanting on the un-
profilableness Of feeding bees on buck
wheat blossoms. states his experience
in feeding them with sugar-hs plan
being TO put a pound Of brown sugar in
low tin dish, wet it with water, and
lay anumber CT small strips Of wood
across For the bees TO rest on while at
work, in every experiment one pound Of
six cent sugar produced two pounds Of
honey. Another experimen,er, per con-
ira, says:
"Whatever bees collect and deposit
in their comb, undergoes no change in
consequence OF any thing they do to il.
If they are fed with molasses they de-
posit moasses, if with sugar diluted
with water, il is sugar, and nothing but
sugar when slowed away in the cells
OF this any one can satisfy himself, by
trying the experiment with these, or
other sweets, as Ihsve repeatedly done.
The honey collected from flowers is the
same IN the hive as il was in the flower,
without any modification IN favor, col.
or, or consistency. and the patent pre-
parations for feeaing bees with sub.
stance they are expected 10 change m
10 honey, are imposition, cant, and
humbug."

PArRIorIsM.-We heard a story
which we krow to be true as gospel
Of Go,tsch halk, the other night, which
pleased US amazingly y, because it shows
the true American heart is not to be
corrupted by the ha!ter Of monarchical
courts. Gottschalk was sent from
Paris to Madrid, by the Queen Mother,
to play before her daughter Isabella,
the Queen OF SPAN. About this time
the Flllibuster movement broke out,
and the young pianist being an Ameri-
can, was not invited Immediately TO
Court, although lie had been expressly
drawn from Paris for that purpose. Il,
was Il, length suggested by the husband
o! the Queen Mother, that Gottschalk
should assume the character Of n
Frenchman, an to appear at Court.
This the spirited little Creole refused /;
he was an American in feeling, by
birth, and no considerations OF wealth
or honor could induce him to 60 10
Court in a character net his own.-N

There isa promise in each drop
Ofths kindly April rain;
Promise Of a good'y crop;
Waving fields, and golden grain.
'ris not like the winiry food,
Pouring, pouring down the caves,
Soft il steals adown the wood,
Kissing buds, and grass, and leavcf;
Hark against the window pane.
Come tho's vocal droppings sill,
Telling that Springs fairy train,
Now is on the heath and hill.
Telling Of each woodlands haunt.
Decked anew in freshest green,
Where the early songster's chant,
And the sunshine smiles between.
Oh, the fragrant springing grass
And the half-awakeneJ flowers
Upward rising as We pass,
Gift Of April's blessed showers
Mid yon sere and sist tless heap,
Relies Of a faded year,
Quickly ON ITS winter secp.
The Arbutus will appear.
Bright its bursting blossoms arc,
With the dry leaves interLced,
Each like some benignant star,
Beaming on the lonely waste.
Iiarbinger o(. .Flora's reign,
Promise OF a thousand flowers,
Surely, surely no, in vain,
Fall these gentle April showers.
