By ALICE CAREY.

By low river, all in mist and dusk
mused on faces that the autumn grass
Was blowing, till my spirit lay
Sealed up in SORROW, cold and comfortless.
And vixen the morning put her silver beams
Into the mist, and dragged it up the bills
As shining harrow teeth sometimes in May
Drag loose, cloudy patch of violets.
Hard by, saw little beggar boy
Asleep upon bed of strawberries,
While DER his ruddy cheek, chased by th' wind
Each after each, ran the bright curls like smiles
Sleep was Gods seal of love to him; Away
He lived so close to nature that his eyes
Grew drowsy liks the flowers, when day was dom
And shut up with the falling of the dew
He did not seem beggar, nor the aims
Within his hand like any common aims
Charity found him naturally as the sun
Finds the white bottom of the lily's cup.
And since that day when all the mist was dusk
muse on faces that the long wild grass
Is blowing over, comes the thought of him,
And makes tender stop among my means.
Comes like some skyey breath of poesy
And takes me, till in the morning star
hear tn murmur of tn river of life,
Like the sea murmuring in golden she'll

freaks of Bees.

An Indiana correspondent furnishes
the following facts and queries for our
readers to solve: He had a swarm of
bees come out in June, 1853. He
hived them in what he calls ga plank
gum" The next day, about 1 o'clock,
they came ont of it. He settled them,
cut off the limb on which they had
gathered, placed it close to the side of
the hive, and with wheat straw hunt
ed until he had found the queen or
king Che calls it) and cropped one wing.
The king was then placed near the
hive, into which he went. About 4
o'clock the same day, he was found
down again, with few bees close
around him. They were taken off him,
and he went up into the hive again.
The next morning, this king was found
dead. He was elevated, however, to
his throne on split stick, which our
correspondent had been informed
would make them contented. They
soon threw his carcass out of the hive.
Good care was taken Of them. They
were put in the bee-house and watched
very closely. Not bee appeared for
ten days. The eleventh day the hive
was carried out in the sun and turned
bottom up. The bees swarmed out
and flew around for five minutes, set
tied again into the 'gum," and they
were placed in the bee-house again.
This was done for three day cousecu-
lively, when they went to work and
filled the "gum" full before winter.
They were finally sold to person, who
removed them Gt is not stated how far)
in February. He had them seven days.
The eleventh day was a warm one !;
the bees swarmed-returned to the
original owner, who hived them. The
night proved cold, and the bees were
stiff in the morning. An examination
resulted in finding they had no ''king."
Our correspondent wants to know why
they worked so hard to fill the hive
and then left it in the dead of winter.
Fifteen pounds of honey were found in
the hive-the balance of the comb
was filled with bee bread, young bees,
&c. This took place at Vincennes,
Ind.-Prairie Farmer.

ters, the youngest but little over FIVE
years old, the oldest nearly sixteen.
[ have also two daughters-in-law,
whose husbands have both fallen near
me here. There is also another widow,
Mrs. Thompson, whose husband fell
here. Whether she is mother or not,
1 cannot say. All these, my wife in

son, who has been, in some degree,
a cripple from his childhood, who would

he had laid up. He has not enough to

Now, dear friend, would you not as
soon contribute fifty cents now, and a
like sum yearly, for these very poor
and deeply afflicted persons? To ena-
BILE them to supply themselves and
their children with bread and very
plain clothing, and to enable the chill

cation? Will you also devote your
energies to induce others to Join you

little fund for the purpose named?
cannot see how your coming here
can do me the least good and / am
quite certain you can do me immense
good where you are. / am quite cheer

heart. You may make such use OF
this asyou see fit. God Almighty bles,

Where among all the little poems that sun theil
painted wings in admiring readers eyes, have you
found one more beautiful than this that basks on
page of the Atlantic Monthly for November
Many man has preached two hours in the morn
ing, and followed it up for other two in the after
noon, till the yellow rays stream aslant the still air
of the meeting house, as if the angels were laying
Heavens golden floor before the very eyes of the
congregation, that did not say much as is curbed
with couple of rhymes in that stanza beginning,
"Ah, look thou largely, with lenient eyes,"
My little maiden of four years old
(No myth, but genuine child is she,
With her bronze brown eyes, and the curls Of gold
Came, quite in disgust, one day to me.
Rubbing her shoulder with rosy PALM
As the loathsome touch seemed yet to thrill her,
She cried,-"Oh, mother, l found on my arm
horrible, crawling caterpillar! !"
And with mischievious smile she could scarcely
smother,
Yet glance, in its daring half awed and shy,
She added, ,-'Whie they were about it, mother,
wish they'd just finished the butterays' j.
They were words to the thought of the soul tina
turns
From the coarser form of the partial growth,
Reproaching the Infinite Patience that yearns
With an unknown glory to crown them both.
All, look thou largely, with lenient eyes,
On whatso beside thee may creep and cling,
For the possible beauty that underlies
The passing phase of the meanest thing
What if Gods great angels, whose waiting love
Beholdeth our pitiful life below,
From the holy height of their heaven above,
Couldn't bear with the worm till the wing should
grow!
