KING-DIRDS AND BEES.
To the Editor of The N. Y. Tribrne.

To the Editor Of The N, Y. Tribune.
SIR:-Your correspondents and the Far.
mers' Club have discussed the question whcth'
er king-birds cat bees.
1t seems not yet decided to everybody )
satisfaction, and ! don't know how it will bt
but by the testimony Of many witnesses.
therefore send you mine, which you can pub
ish if you want TO.
l yesterday saw two king birds opened,
and found morking hoacy-bees, and nothing
else, in their crops. The gentleman who cx-
amncd them land whose vcracity is perfectly
unimpcachable) said he once saw the crop Of
n king bird opened which had in it fifteen
bees.
This gentleman is practical farmer, very
accurate in his observations: has been in the
habit of observing them for the last twenty
years, and he is convinced that they not only
cat great many bees, but that they prefer
them to anything else, even the Dict of Worms.
This is corrcboratcd by all the farmers and
bee men with whom have spoken about it.

SIR: AS | am a constant reader Of YOUR
valuable paper, ! have observed little con-
trovcrsy in relation to- whether King Birds
cat Bees. have believed they did for forty
years, but l think your Ohio correspondent
mistakes in finding bees in crops, as King
Birds have none. and also think his Practi-
cal Farmer mistaken in finding fifteen bees
in gizzard, unless the birds are much lar
ger than the Long Island ones, or the bees
much smaller. Yesterday shot three that
have been flying around my hives catching
the bees for a month past. examined them
and found the bees had passed directly into

legs, wings and bodies, having the appear.

passages Of it are very beautiful
Thou dost ask me for Il ringlct-
For simple trcss of hair.
And from my poor locks I've chosen.
One which long had clustered there.
Often have suoothcd. and twincd it;
Laid it on my cheek TO rest
Pushed it back in haste. when passion
MARRIED the peace within my breast.
But pause before send it;
And u tcar-drop dims mine eye,
And my glad heart groweth heavy;
Would'st thou know the reason why!
In this caskct have treasured
Relics of the lovcd-thc dear
Locks Of -brown-ravcn-faN
Stay I'll show them to thee here.
This soft lock, so black and glossy,
Once did press II manly brow,
And kinder heart; gentlcr,
Or nohlrr heart, know
Never beat within Il bosom;
But alas the winc-cup red
Lured him from the hearts that loved him.
Sad mcncnto He is dead!
This all see how bright and golden
In the sunlight it doth glow;
Down upon neck and shoulders
Neck and shoulders fair rs SNOW
1t was " ont to steal and nestle
There. to watch. (it seemed to mc,)
Her bright. sparkling eye, or listen
To her voices melody.
-Shc-but wherefore should tell thee?
That her heart, all joy and light
Learned the bitter, hateful lesson
OF di>truSt-and meath its blight
Dropped. We crossed her hands all mcekly
AS in prayer upon her breast
Closed those ssswectest eyes" in slumbcr,
kissed-and laid her down to rest.
This brown lockout nay, replace it
Its sad tale would make thcT wccH
'Tis Of coldncss, pride, estrangcment,
Bitter mcmorcs-lct them sleep.
Ths-she gave it me at parting,
And her tsaeS fell fast the while,
Though she murmurcd '.Nelly-sister;
Csns't thou not look up and smile!''
SUPERINTENDENT my heart was breaking
She, our eldest sister dear, /
oh twas hard to send her from It's
But-torgivc this selfish tear.
Tlhs--tle Lust one and the brightest,
It's the only onc--otall
That to gaze upon, no bitter
Recollection doth recall;
All this whispers Sottly-swcctly
Ola little guilrlcss one,
Sent-e'cn as glimpse Of IIcavca
To our cartli--so dark and lone.
Dear soft ringact-l have smoothcd it
Oiten-o'er her baly-brow,
Darling Alice, how we loved her
But the Angels love her now.
Since you wish it. take this ringlrt
have brcathed DER it a prayer,
Frcightcd it with loving wishes,
Aye bcdcw'd it with tear.
Long and weary miles divide us,
Still our spirits closely twinc;
Oh may cold enlargement never
Come between thy heart and mine.
