THE HAMMER.

The hammer is the universal emblem
of mechanics. With it are alike forged
the sword OF contention and the plough
share of peaceful agriculture. In an
cient warfare the hammer was a power
full weapon. independent of the place
which it formed. The hammer is the
wealth of nations. By it is forged the
ponderons engine and the tiny needle.
1t is an instrument of the savage aud the
civilized. Its merry click points out the
abode Of industry; it is a domestic deity,
presiding over the grandeur of the most
wealthy and ambitious, as well as the
humble and impoverished. Not a stick
is shaped, not house is raised, ship
floats, or carriage rolls, a wheel spins,
an engine moves. a press speaks, a yiol
sings, spade delves, or flag waves,
without the hammer. Without the
hammer civilization would be unknown,
and the human species as defenceless
bru;es; bu. in sklllful hands directed by
wisdom, it is an instrument of power, Of
greatness and Of true glory.

TOBACCO.

At meeting OF the OhioState Teach
ers' Association, held at Columbus, Dec.
9Th, 1856. a Committee, consisting Of
the Hon, Horace Mann. H. H. Barney,
Esq Prof. Marsh. Prof Young and G..
E Howe. Esq. was app 5nted to recon-
mend some action respecting the use
ofintoxicating liquors. profaae swearing,
and bacco, in the Schools ami Colleges
Of the State.
Respecting the use of tobacco, the
com nit,ee made the following report.
Among the reasons against the use of
tobacco. they submit the following:
1. Tobacco is highly injurious to
health, b ing pronounced by all physiol-
ogiss and toxicolo, lists to be among the
most active and virulent of vegetable
poisons. That consu ners of tobacco
sometimes live mpny years does not dis
prove the strength of the constitution
that re>ists it; and that strength. ins:ead
of being was;ed in resisting the poison,
might be expended in making the life of
its possessor longer and more useful.
Q 1t is very expensive. The average
cost of supplying a tobacco user for life
would be sufficient to purchase good
farm. or to build beautiful and COM
modious house, or 10 buy fine library
of books. Which course of life best
compOrts With the dignity of rational
being; to puff and spit this value away,
or to change it into garden and cultiva-
. ted fells, into a nice dwelling, or in'o
the embalmed and glorifed forms of ge-
MUS? What difference il would make
TO the United States and TO the world,
if the Four Hundred Thousand acres,
now planted with tobacco within their
limits. were planted to corn or wheat.
8. Tobacco users bequeath weak ned
brains, irritable nerves and other forms
of physical degeneracy to their children.
The Fictitious pleasures of the parent in
fict real pains upon his offspring. The
indulgences of the one must be atoned
for by the other; the innocent expiaiing
the offences of the gully. Nor. in re-
gard TO these personal and hereditary
injnries to The mind, would the Commit
tee stand merely upon the principal laid
down by the Physician, who, when asked
if toba C, injured the brain. repliel
promptly in the negative; for. said be,
people who have brains never touch it,
4. Tobacco users are always filthy,
and we read of an infinitely desirable
kingdom into which no unclean thing can
ever enter.
5. Tobacco users are always unjust
towards others. They pollute the at
mosphere which other men desire to
breathe and have right 10 breathe in
its purity. 4 smoker or ckewer NAV
have right TO limited circle cf he at
mosphere around his own person, but he
has no right to stencil the air f r rod
around him and half mile behind him.
He has no right to attempt geograPh
ical reproduction Of river and lake b.
the artificial pools and streams be makes
in steamboat and car.
6. A tobacco user is the common enemy
of decency and good taste. His mouth
and teeth which should be the cleanest,
he makes the foulest part of him. When
one secs plug Of nasty, coarse, liver
,lored tobacco. he pities the mouth it is
destined to enter; but when one sees the
mouth he pities the tobacco.

That graded thy nuptial hour,
Mine eyes were wet with bitter tears,
Which fell like summer shower;

One shining drop would miss.
But OH twas memory, meEory's power,

As sad as it oft must be

For thee may true love twine;
And be thy welded life as bIest,

SULPHUR FOR GRAPEs.-Our friend,
Robert Buist, speaking of the use of sui
phur to prevent mildew in graperies, says
it has been known here for twenty years,
though the savans of Europe have just
found it out. He recommends its use as
follows:-"Take few pounds Of ulphur,
and place it on several pieces of boards,
as neatly as you please; keep them in
your grapery, stirring the sulphur once a
week, and you will have no mildew, un-
less you give heavy waterings, and allow

WHEN DEATH COMES.

Death comes at morn when the sun is
Just rising in the east-at noon when its
rays are most splendid-at eve when it
gradually sinks beneath the horizon-at
midnight when it is entirely hidden from
view; it comes to the babe Just commenc-
ing to praltle-it comes to the man OI
middle age, when the connecting links
binding us to life are most strong--iI
comes to the aged man with trembling
limbs and faded eye sight, led along by
others; it comes to the poor, struggling
to obtain meagre sustenance--it comes
to man in comfortable circumstances
by whom life is best enjoyed-it
comes TO the wealthy rolling in affiuence
and ease--it comes 10 the man of just
sense enough to pass through life easily
it comes to the educated man, glory
ing in his Cicero and Homer--it comes
to the infdel disowning his Maker--it
comes to the Christian, who looks upon
il only as passage to happier land.
He DRINKs.-How that sentence falls
On the ear! How the dark shadows of
coming despair settle on the hearts of
those whose life is bound up in his lifel
How his mother prays he may not be-
eome a dIunkaId; and his sisters hope he
is sowing a few wild oats. But the old
men see further and shake their heads
when they hear-he drinksl Young
men, standing on the thresh hold of
life, buoyant in hope and untried energy,
don't drink! Your character, success and
happines in life-your immortal destiny
beyond life are all at stake. Don't drink!

SAVING HONEY BY DESTROYING
DR0NES.

1t is a certain fact, demonstrated by
Huber, and proved again and again since
his fine, that the impregnation of the
queen lasts three years; at least, this be-
ing the case, there are seasons when the
apiarian will be enabled TO secure the
greatest quantity of honey, by preventing
his bees from swarming, and at the same
time destroying all the drones. The plan
is simple and effectral. For the first, j;
is only necessary TO contract the entranse
to the hive to space 5.35 OF an inch
wide; This will allow worker bee, to
pass in and out, but will detain the queen
in the hive. This space will also keep
back the drones, and if it is proposed 10
destroy them, las they certainly ought to
be, if the hive is prevented from swarm
ing, and as shall presently show then
take box, say six inches square,, and
insert wooden tube 1 inch in aperture
and about II inches long. so that 1t shall
be flush with the outside of the box, but
project inside about an inch, (if the box
is half inch stuff, the above length of tube
will Just do.) Place this tube in the lower
corner of the box, so thatit shall overlay
the entrance just enough to let drone
enter the tube, from the hive. The rest
OF the entrance may be contracted TO the
532 of an inch. Now, place glass oD
The open top of the box, covering it all but
5.32 of an inch at one end. The drones
will endeavor to go out with the workers,
but cannot. They will then follow along
ill they come 10 the opening in The tube,
and 90 through it into the box. They
cannot go out of lte box into air, on ac-
count Of the space being only 5.S2 of an
inch wide, neither can they &c back to
the hive, because the tube projects inside,
and is not accessible from the bottom or
side of the box. If worker bee goes
into the box, Of course the sill wiz let him
out Tor rather | should say it, being
neuter.)
When large number of drones are
collected, they may be immersed in wa
ter, and The box put back.
1t is incredible the amount of honey
consumed by the drones, even where
there are but a few hundred. But in
ordinary hives, where there are some
times over 1000, they consume probably
as much as is ordinarily laid up in the
surplus boxes.
For gentlemen who do not wish to in
crease the number of their hives, this plan
is obviously an excellent one.
The contracted entrance is very sug-
geslive to those who wish ''to go TO tosCD, %
or "to church." and are very fearful Of
losing a swarm. A very good way is to
cut the slit out of sheet lead, and place it
before the entrance. 1t will be perceiv-
ed, also, that this space viii entirely pre-
vent the queen from going into the top
boxes and placing brood among the honey
combs. We give our actual experience
in the Country Gentleman.
