The Pharisees complained because Christ exposed

brought 10 light. Herod accused john because he
had been reprimandei for adultery. So also Paul
and Silas were beaten and imprisoned because 4 spirit
Of dIvlnation was cast out Of 4 damsel, who brought
her masters much gain by soothsayiug. Is It not to
be expected that wicked men will complain when they
are reprOved that they will plead unnecessary inter

that they will grumble when their false principles are
undermined Is there sometimes danger Of persecu-

~high-mindel to fear this, when they are called upon
10 discharge an important duty. God Is greater than

REMOVING SURPLUS ginners in
bee-keeping sometimes find it difficult TO get rid of the
bees after they have removed the surplus honey. As
times the bees are quite accommodating, while occa-
sioually they remain pertinIciousiy uncappiIg the
cells and devouriug tie honey ;Or, if there Is q chance
for them 20 go and return. the whole swarm joins in
enforcing a writ Of r~eplevin. II does not take long
for a swarm Of bees TO empty a honey box. if you
give them the chance. The easiest way to secure the
honey and get rid Of the bees Is. TO take the boxes of
in the morning, and place them in a barrel, with the
head off, near the mouth of the hive, allowing the
bees free egress from the boxes. Then cover the top
Of the barrel with a sheet, JaOle-clOth, or any piece
Of white cloth, so that the bees can neither 60 out
nor 90 in In n few minutes the excitement among
the bees will wax strong, and the barrel will sound
like a disturbed bee hive. Remove the cloth for q
few moments, and numbers of bees will fly out. Put
it on again and repeat this every five minutes. The
box will soon be empty. \ few drones will be the
last TO leave. They are easily disposed of as they
cannot sting. No tobacco smoke is needed-Ohio

Thy gentle voice my spirit can cheer;
Thou art the star that mildly bcaming,
Shone DER my path when all was dark
and drear,
Still in my heart thy form | cherish,
Every kind thought like bird flies to thee
All never till life and memory perish,
Can forget how dear thou art to me;
Morn, noon, and night, where'er may be,
Fondly I'm dreaming ever of thee,

Ever of thee, when sad and lonely,
Wandring afar, my soul joyed to dwell;
All! then l felt I loved thee only,
All seemed to fade before affections spell.
Years have not chilled the love l cherish,
True as the stars has my heart been to thee

What Lucy Thought of Cleveland.

The reporter of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, who accompanied
Lucy, the fugitive, on..hcr return
trip to Virginia, reports the follow
ing dialogue with her:
l asked-how do you like Clevc-
land?
A-Don't like it at all; they are
the damhdestS set of liars vin the
world. If had Grcene's wife and
Whites I'd split their heads for
telling on me,
Q-Goshorn says they didn't do
it-don't you believe him?
A-No, | don't; | wish | had
gone to Canada. If the Cleveland
folks hadn't told me | was just as
safe in Cleveland as in Canada |
would not have been here now.
Odd your colorcd folks lie?
Ayes, iist as bad as anybody.
Q-The story goes that you used
seventy pounds of butter in one
week in Mr.. Riddles family, is that
true?
A-Damned lie.
Q-Mr. Goshorn says you didn't
swear before you lived in Cleve-
land; how is that?
A-That's true, but it's enough
to make any one swear the way
they treated one in that damned
place.
Q-Did the .fugjtircs in Cleveland
treat you better than the free ne
groes?
A-They're all fugitivcs nearly,
and all alike. | know lots on en-.
She was cheerful, talSative, and
free, but down on Cleveland.

Here the Sachems, Chiefs of DID,
Assembled and their councils held.
Their steps shall echo ncver
Gone are now the brave and good,
From the mountain and the flood,
Forever and forever.
Aye! his council fires are dim,
There is left no trace of him
This side the mighty river;
And still toward the setting sun
His vanquishc'd race are plodding on
Forever and forever
1t matters not far or near
His lowly wigwam doth appear
By mountain, plain, or river;
Or in the forest dark and lone,
Still is heard the fatal tone
Forever and forever
Doom awaits thee fated race;
Death is staring in thy face,
Thy spirit to deliver
To thy sires who wait for thee,
Where thou alone in peace shall be
Forever and forever"
So the mighty change goes on
The conquerer of Marathon,
And those by Niles dark river;
Who peopled Memphis anchicnt halls,
Gone like Thcbes' embattled walls

And all to life that yet shall throng
In Lethes wave shall sleep ere long

An Incident on the Cars.

On the whole pleasant traits and
incidents are now common in the
cars, l think this opinion express
ed to my friend Somers the other
day. In reply to my remark he re-
lated little adventure, which rs it
appears, moreover involves a little
love and sentiment, | give it with
out apology, in his own words. 1t
appears that in most unlikely pla-
ces love and sentiment may be dis
covered.
81 was escorting home the love-
ly Charlotte D., to whom was
at that time quite devoted; we got
in one of the crowded avenue cars.
Charlotte could scarcely find room
to spread her crinoline and arrange
her volumnious founces; | stood
up near her, there being no vacant
seat.
After few minutes came in a
poor woman, who deposited q bas-
ket of clothes on the platform, and
held in her arms q child, while a
little girl hung to her dress. She
looked tired and weary, but there
was no vacant seat, to be sure
Charlotte might have condensed
her founces, but she did not. Be
side her, however, set a very lovely
and elegant young woman, who
seemed trying by moving down
closer to others, to make space
enough for the stranger between
herself and Miss D. At last
she succeeded, and with the sweet
est blush | ever saw, she invited
the poor burdencd female to be
seated. Charlotte D drew her
drapery around her and did not
blush at all and looked annoyed at
the proximity of the new conner.
who was however clean and decent
ly though thinly clad,
The unknown lady drew the lit,
tie girl upon her lap, and wrapped
her velvet mantle around the small
half-clad form, and put her mutl
over the half frozen little blue
hands.
SO great was the crowd that |
alone seemed to observe. The
child shivered-the keen wind from
the door blew upon her unprotect-
ed neck. 1 saw the young lady
quietly draw from under her shawl
q little crimson, wooden shawl,
which was softly put on the should
ers of the little one. The mother
looked on with confused wonder.
After a short time she rose to leave
the car, and would have removed
the shawl, but the unknown gently
whispered no, keep it for her.
The woman did not answer, the
conductor hurried her out, but hel
eyes swan in tears, which no one
saw but me. | noticed her as she
descended to a basement and [ has
tily marked the house.
Soon after my unknown rose tc

, residence, but l could not leave

How glad, then, was l to see he
bowling as she passed out to mu

To shorten the story as much al
possible, the lady is my wife. Ii

her to me she showed her rea
character. A few days after ou
marriage I showed her the blessed
crimson shawl, which [ had re
deemed from its owner, and shall
