A FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES
IA this hive enjoys over all others will
be mentioned:
The Apiarian has the entire control
over all the comb; any or all of the
comb can be taken out at pleasure with
out injury to the comb or engaging the
bees in the least. 1t gives the power Of
inspecting all the operations of the bee,
and at all times ascertain their precise
situation. 1t furnishes the greatest pos
sible security against the ravages of the
bee moth. 1t allows the surplus honey
to be taken at any time in the most con-
venient, beautiful and saleable forms
Tt is a swarming or non-swarming
hive, at the pleasure Of the owner.
1t enables the Apiarian to multiply
his stock at pleasure. Queenless stock
can be supplied with Queens without any
difficulty. BY this system the Bees,
Comb and Honey can be removed from
ordinary hives into the Langstroth hive
without the danger of being stung even
once.
This hive has taken the HIGHEST IRE
MUM at twenty fairs within the past two
years, and received the SILVER MEDAL at
the Mechanics Institute, Washington,

MY MOTHERS DEATH.
BY ALICE CAREY.

BY ALICE CAREY.
We were weeping round her pillow,
For we knew that she must die;
1t was night within our bosoms--
1t was night within the sky.
There were seven of us children,
the Oldest one of all,
So tried to whisper comfort,
But the binding tears would fall.
Upon my knee my brother
Lay his aching brow and wept
And my sisters long black tresses
Der my heaving bosom swept.
"Be kind to one another"
Was my mothers feeble prayer,
And her hand lay like snowflake,
In the baby's golden hair.
Then a glory bound her forehead,
Like the glory of a crown,
And in the silent sea Of death,
The star Of life went down.
And thus was borne away,
My mothers latest prayer,
And her hand grew heavier, paler.
In the baby's golden hair.

To MAKE A BALKBY Horse Draw. -
The London Times givosarcmedy which
proved successful. After all sorts Of
means had been tried and failed, it was
suggested that simple remedy used in
India should be tried-tbat is TO get
small piece Of rope and attach TO one Of
the fore feet Of the stubborn animal.
the person holding the end of The rope to
advance few PAGES, taking with him
the horses foot, when, as a matter of
course, the horse must follow. The sug-
gcstion was at first ridiculed, but at last
rope was brought, and applied as de-
scribed, when the horse Immediately adj
vanced, and IN few minutes was cut OF
sight, much TO the amazement OF the
crowd. The experiment is simple and

FIDELITY OF A SLAvE.--At a meeting
of the Palmetto Association Of South
Carolina, some weeks since, Mr.. Kcitt,
in the course of speech laudatory of
the deeds of the South Carolina regi-
ment in the Mexican War, related the
following instance of the devotion of
slave who was attached to the person of
brother of Preston s. Brooks:
"When another regiment fled, and all
the horrors and scourges of war were
pouring down upon the gallant Palmet-
tos, bathed in the blood Of their COM
rades--when Shields said, "who will fol-
low me 2" and Butler said "we wilr'--
Brooks, yes, the STRIPPING Brooks, cried,
eyes, all will follow YOU to the DEATH
and he did. The ball which pierced his
body shivered his musket-- and SILVER
ed musket was to adorn the signet, with
the motto salts n,eruisse. When this
brother left home, Brooks told him his
father said to his old body servant, ego
with him, and take care of him con-
fide my son to you" How did the good
old negro act? When the baptism Of
blood was going on-when perils were
lingereng around-whea hot ignition Of
stratagom was everywhere-with none
to watch the wounded boy but this old
servant, he was at his labor of love, ia
king care Of his charge. Crushed bones
worked out from the wound-he gather
ed them up and preserved them. The
noble spirit passed out, and the corpse
alone was left. What did the old and
faithful slave? The regiment gave him
mule and cart--the soldiers helped him
to make a rude coffin. With his own
hands he placed the earthly remains of
his beloved young master in this hearse
he conveyed it to Mexico--he carried
it to Vera Cruz---he bore it on shipboard
and by railroad, to his old masters home,
and delivered the body and the bones Of
her child to his widowed and bereaved
mother, at tho Intel of his birthplace.
This is literally true. In classic story
in legendary annals--in ancient or
modern times-where is the equal of
this touching storyi"

THE BIBLE. Of the most re-
markable results of modern research is
the confirmation Of the accuracy of the
historical books Of the Old Testament.
The ruins Of Babylon and Nineveh shed
a light on those books which no scepti-
cism can inyalidate. The thing which
surprises us most is their marvellous ac-
curacy IN minute details, which are now
substantiated by recent discoveries The
fact seems to be that when writing was
laboriously performed on stone, men had
an almost superstitious conscientiousness
in making their records true, and had
not learned the modern Indifference to
truth which our facile modes of commu-
nicating thought have encouraged. A
statement to be chiseled on rock must be
correct; statement which can be writ
ten in five minutes is likely to embody
only first impressions, which may be
amended in five minutes thereafter. -
Hence it comes to pass that VIC know
more exactly many things which took
place in the wars between Sennachrib
and Hezekiah, than we know what is the
precise truth with regard to some of the
occurrences in the battle of Bunker Hill,
Sir Henry Rawlinson, speaking Of bis
researches at Babylon, states that the
name and situation of every town Of
note in ancient Assyria mentioned in the
Bible, can be substantiated by the ruins
of that city. The visit of the Queen Of
Sheba to Solomon is perfectly verified.
The prosecution Of these researches will
be regarded with great interest as cor
roborating the truth of Scripture.
