The Bees, the Drones, ana the wasp.

SOME Bees had built their comb in the
hollow trunk of an oak. The Drones
asserted that it was their doing, and be-
longed to them. The cause was brought
into court before Judge Wasp. Know
ing something of the parties, he thus
addressed then: "The plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS are so much alike in shape
and colour as to render the ownership Il
doubtful matter, and the case has very
properly been brought before me. The
ends of justice, and the object of the
court, will best be furthered by the plan
which propose. Let each party take
a hive TO itself,and build upa new comb,
that from the shape of the cells and the
taste Of the honey, the lawful proprie-
tor, of the property in dispute may APP
pear" The Bees readily assented TO the
Wasp's plan. The Drones declined it.
Whercupon the Wasp gave judgment:
at is clear now who made the comb,
and who cannot make it: the Court ad-
judges the honey to the Bees"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1867-12-06

IN days of yore, when the world was
young, Bee that had stored her combs
with bountiful harvest, flew up TO
heaven to present as Il sacrifice an Offer
ing of honey. Jupiter was so delighted
with the gift, that he promised to give
her whatsoever she should ask for. She
therefore besought him, saying, 80
glorious Jove, maker and master of me,
poor Bee, give thy servant sting, that
when any one approaches my hive to
take the honey, may kill him ON the
spot" Jupiter, out of love to man, was
angry at her request, and thus answer
cd her: "Iour prayer shall not be gram
ted in the way you wish, but the sting
which you ask for you shall have; and
when any one comes to take away your
honey and you attack him, the wound
shall be fatal not to him but to you, for
yonr life shall go with your sting"
He that prays harm for his ncighbor,
begs curse upon himself.

The Belly and the Members.


In former days, when all mans
limbs did not work together as amica-
bly, as they do now, but each had a will
and way of its own, the Members gene
rally began to find fault with the Belly
for spending an idle, luxurious life, while
they were wholly occupied in laboring
for its support, and ministering to its
wants and pleasures 50 they entered
into a conspiracy TO cut off its supplies
for the future. The hands were no long
er to carry food to the mouth, nor the
mouth to receive the food, nor the teeth
to chew It. They had not long persisted
in this course of starving the Belly into
subjection, ere they all began, one by
one, to fail and flag, and the whole body
to pine away. Then the members were
convinced that the Belly also, cumber-
some and useless as it seemed, had an
important function of its own; that they
could no more do without it than IL
could do without them and that If they
would have the constitution of the body
in healthy state, they must work to
gether, each in his proper sphere, fol
the common good of all.

THE time was, when boys were con-
sidered ofbut trifling account upon the
farm. They answered to run errands
and to do the light "cliores" about the
house and barn. To l.eep them out of
mischief when not attending school they
possibly did some service astride the
horse to mark out corn ground, and cul-
tivate the corn and potatoes. But il
ambitious ojoin the men in the fields,
or elsewhere, they were equipped with
the most worthless cast aside tools,
such as rusty hoes, worn out scythes, old
fashioned forks, used up shovels, dull
axes, battered hammers; unified saws,
and so on through the whole catalogue
of farm implements. They grew weary
using them, and SO would men have
done, accomplishing only the same
amount ofiabor. ItwOuld not be strange
If fsuch treatment first planted dissatis-
faction in the heart 0fmany farmers
boy, which finally ripened into utter
disgust, the seeking of employment be-
hind the counter of the village store, or,
perhaps. in something less honorable,
which in the end resulted in iniquity
and ruin.
We have faith in the farm boys OF
this day and generation. henation owes
them.its sincere gratitude. They arc
deserving of all the benefits that shall
result to them from the new Industrial
Schools thatiare about being establish
ed. Their early life eisapreparatory school
that will teach them to appreciate the
benefits and blessings that the agricul-
tural colleges are intended to dispense.
Honor, encourage and care for the boys

a DISPUTE once arose between the
Wind and the Sun, which was the
stronger of the two, and they agreed to
put the point upon this issue, that which
ever soonest made a traveller take off
his cloak, should be accounted the more
powerful. The Wind began, and blew
with his might and main blast, cold
and fierce as Thracian storm but the
stronger he blew the closer the travel
er wrapped his cloak around him, and
the tighter he grasped 1t with his hands.
Then broke out the Sun: with his well
come beams he dispersed the vapor and
the cold; the traveller felt the genial
warmth, and as the Sun shone brighter
and brighter, he sat down, overcome
with the heat, and cast his cloak on the
ground.
Thus the Sun was declared the con-
queror; and it has ever been deemed
| that persuasion is better than force and
that the sunshine of kind and gentle
manner will sooner lay open a poor
mans heart than all the threatcnings
and force of clustering authority.

Health OfCows.


Coon health in domestic animals, Is
always matter of primary Importance.
As bad health In parents, transmits a
tendency to disease In the offspring, II
IL important that every kind of ami
mails we desire to continue on our farms
should be kept vigorous and healthy.
As domestic animals are n source of
human food, 1t is of great Importance to
preserve them in a healthy condition.
Diseased meat carries its qualities into
the stomach of its consumers. 1t is a
serious objection which vegetarians urge
against the use of animal food, that the
artificial circumstances in which ami
mails live, and the bad treatment they
receive, render them unhealthy. As
an unhealthy animal does not consume
food to as good advantage as a well one,
II is economical TO avoid disease.
As comparative misery and discom
fort accompany disease, it is humane
as well as economical, to see that the
animals under our care enjoy rs far as
possible their creature comforts.
Each of the circumstances Is sufii.
cicnt reason for guarding with scrupu
lous care, the health of the animals We
feed but when we derive milk from
animals, 1t Is doubly important tha
they are kept free from every objec
tionable taint. A sickly COW not onl,
yields diminished profit, but she
yields sickly milk, and sickly in {
higher degree than her flesh.
If Il COW eats anything that has 1
strong or disagreeable odor, it appear
in her milk.
fla COW eats anything medicinal i
comes out in her milk.
Ifshe is feverish her milk shows 1t.
II she has sores about her, pus may b.
found in her milk.
lfshc is fed upon decayed or diseased
food, her milk since it is derived from
her food, will be imperfect. 1t is a
impossible to make good milk from bat
food, as to make good building iron
rotten timber.

1T Is not the custom now for farm
er's son to grow up on the farm, work
as his father worked before him, and
bring up his family at the old home
stead, or, what is better yet, In a new
one,and a finer one. Young men seek
the cities. They wish to dress in fine
clothes all the time and stand behind
counters. They get an education and
consider it wasted unless they engage
In commercial pursuits. and, become
"citizens," instead of "countrymen."
We have great respect for the CONNER
cial interests of the nation, and do not
wish to join the popular sneer at coun-
ter,jumpers and Clerks We have need
for young men In every department of
honest labor. But we do think that
the hard outdoor work ofagriculture is
better calculated to develope manliness
Of character than the confined labors of
the counting-house or shop. Farming
is not enough respected by the nation in
comparison with the mercantile pur-
suits. Young men, too, in majority of
instances, desert the farm and seek the
city.because they wish to escape the
harder labor which is supposed to be
the lot of the farm. Thoy wish to lead
an easier life than their fathers led, and
attain the same success. A few years OF
experience behind the counter or the
desk dissipate the idea that the mercan-
tile lifo Is the easier one; but at first
view it has fascintions to the young
mans eye which agriculture has not.
Is there not considerable of lazness in
this rush to the city of farmers sons ?
We need certain amount of fresh blood
and fresh brain from the rural districts
In every branch of metropolitan indus
try; hut we do not need the rush of ap-
plieants for positions which lowers the
salaries here, while the rural district.
are suffering for work hands.-N y
