Water for Bees.

Much has been said in the last fe
years concerning the proper managemel
of bees during the protracted, inhospiti
BILE reign of winter in Northern latitude
Experience has demonstrated that j
order to render Bookkeeping success i
cold regions, the bees must be speciall
cared for, so as TO mitigate what is t,
them an ungenial climate. Notwithstan
ding these circumstances, perhaps more
thar nine-tenths of all the bees through.
out the Northern States, remain on the
stands upon which they were situated
when first hiyed, and their condition for
even surviving until the return of vernal
flowers being wholly unknown to their
keepers, who will count themselves lucky
if, perchance, their gains should exceed
or even balance their losses.
The object of the generality of persons
who keep bees, is profit, which might be
greatly augmented were they properly
managed. In order that this branch of
industry may be successfully conducted,
It is highly important that the apiarian
should be fully acquainted with the hab-
its, instincts, propensities, peculiarties-
in short, the nature of these wonderful
and useful little insects. BY knowing
these, he will be enabled to meliorate
their condition and afford them facilities
for rendering to their posSessors rich and
ample returns.
Hitherto one fruitful cause of ''ill luck"
attending bee-keeping in cold climates
and consequent upon the long and inevi-
table confinement to the hive, is their
want of water, or in other words water
dearth. That bees cannot raise brood
without water, has been known TO few
persons fer at least century. If bees,
while weather-bound, are not incidentally
or otherwise supplied with it at the reg
ular season for raising brood, the breed
ing will not only be retarded, but if sup
plies of moisture fail during these peri,
DDS their brood will be sacrificed in any
stage of development.
After a rigorous winter, should foul
weather continue to prevail, old bees in
great numbers, and even whole colonies,
perish in consequence of this dearth,
which may occur here and there, earlier
or later, and in more or less injury.
The author of Nature has given the
bee an instinct to store up honey and pol
len, which are not to be procured at all
times in any climate, but not water, which !,
is ever accessible in her natiUs regions.
Hence the loss Of bees by water-dearth
is the result of climate, because it is con-
trary to the original instincts Of the bee
to dsceH in Northern climates.
The consumption of water by stock
of bees, commences SO soon as the queen
begins to lay, which occurs in some colo
nies early in January. This however
varies, depending on the vigor and favor !

The Orphans Hope.
BY EMMA c. D. cowEB.

My invalid mother and were alone,
Out on the low porch where the bright su
shone,
In the month of June. Twas lovely day
With the vines o'erhead the wind was at play
The sweet breath Of flowers was borne on tn
breeze,
The katydid's song came forth from the trees
We heard the noise of the busy old mill
That's over the brook, down under the hill
And from hill, and dale, and woodland woul
float
Sweet notes from many musical throat,
Ny mother sat there in her old arm chair,
And I was near,
Plying my needle and chanting an air
She loved to hear,
suddenly paused in my joyous lay,
And gazed on her face;
] thought tlfat her cheek was paler that day,
And could trace
Deep shadows of pain on her fair, high brow
know they are gone, yet they haunt me now,
80, mother" cried,
AS l few to her side,
"Dear mother, fear you are worse to-day"
EAgNs Alo tiuNs my NLlllty 4 NHt paooffty dtCUyf
A little time here, then the sections spade
VIII hollow my grave, and shall be laid
Away in the mould
OF the churchyard old.
Nay, child do not weep, it is all for the best
That this aching form should be laid to rest;
Since the gloomy day that your father died.
l have thought it were sweet to sleep by his
side;
Though my form will lie meath the churchyard
sod,
My spirit will wing its way to its God.
Dear child prepare
To meet me there"
"But, mother, the way-do you not fear
The valley of death, with its shadows drear
The coffin, the shroud, the pail and the bieri
And the awful gloom
Of the cold, dark tomb :"
"Nay, daughter, the Savior will guide me thro'
The shadowy valley-the Savior true,
Who alone can save.
His upholding arm can never fail,
For he has passed through the gloomy vale,
And conquered the death king, grim and pale,
Who ruled the grave.
1t is but for you, poor darling grieve;
Aye, it pains Inc sore, all lonely to leave
My orphaned one:
But He who numbers the sparrows that fall
Whose mercies extend to His creatures all
His will be done
Pray to Him always, daughter dear, pray
He'll comfort and guide you when I've passed
away"
That beautiful night, ere the moon was set,
The soul of my dearest friend had fled;
My agony wild can never forget,
When they tore me away from the form of the
dead
My bosom was filled with the deepest woe;
Of light l could sec not a tickerng ray,
Till those sweet words came, spoke short time
ago,
"Pray TO Him always, daughter dear, pray" |
Then strange, sweet peace swept over my soul
As l knelt in prayer ere the rise Of the sun,
And a voice within, when heard the bell toll,
Said, at is all for the best-TIis Will be done"
Ny mothers voice can hear no more;
Nor her footballs light on her chamber floor;
All within her room looks gloomy and bare,
And empty and lone is her old armchair;
But her home is a happier home than this
A home where the angels dwell in bliss;
And humbly hope that bliss to share,
And trust ere long shall meet her there.

During the past year their machines have

They are suitable for sewing Of every des'
