Queer Things about Bees,

The poppy bee makes her nest in the
ground, burrOwinS down about three inches
At'the bottom she makes large, round hole
and lines it splendidly with the scarlet leaves
of the wild poppy. She cuts and fits the
pretty tapestry till it is thick and soft and
warm, then partially fills the cell with the
honey, lays an egg. folds down the red blankets
and closes up the hole so that it cannot he
distinguished and there in its rosy cradle,
with food to eat, and safe nook to rest in,
she leaves her baby bee to take care of itself.
The leaf-catting bee makes her cells of green
leaves, shaping them like thimbles. These
little jars she half fills with rose colored paste
of honey and pollen from thistles, lays her
eggs, aud covers the pots with round leaf lids
that fit exactly. The mason bee makes its
nest Of mud or nIoTtcr. 1t looks like bit of
dirt sticking to the wall, but has little cells
within. The mother bee does all the work
sticking little grains of sand and earth
together with her own glue. The carding
bees live in holes, among stones and roots,
making nests of moss, lined with wax, to
keep the wet out, with long gallery by which
to enter. They find bit of moss, and several
bees place themselves in row with their
backs toward the nest; then the foremost lays
hold Of the moss and pulls it up with her jaws,
drives it with her fore.feet under her body as
far toward the next as possible. The second
does the same and in this way, tiny heaps
CT prepared moss are got to the nest by tho
Gle of four or five, and others weave them
into shape.

Sin .Found.Ont.

Hallooi Bill Hartwell is famous batter.
lie had Just given the ball tremendous
blow, and was running at full speed, when he
stubbed his toe and fell. The boys gather
round him; and Iwish you could have seen
their looks of surprise and indignation. He
got no pity from any quarter; only Just such
words as must have filed him with shame
aud confusion.
Why, there is no harm in stubbins ones
toe, is there No. no. But when Bill fell,
out fell a watch from his bosom or pocket. or
wherever he had it. And was il not his
watch No. George Arnold, one of the
older scholars, had little while before lost
his watch and it had not gone without an
extra pair of hands. Who took it? was the
question Bill Hartwell had made more fuss
about finding the thief than anybody else,
and at last fastened suspicion SO strongly on
one of the little boys, Freddie Howe, that
everybody called him thief Poor Freddie
Howe had tough time of it. 1t was in vain
he declared his innocence. The story, some
how Or other, got going aud could not bo
stopped, for lie at first runs faster than
truth; and the consequence was, Freddie had
a great many bad things said to him, which
hurt his feelings so he did not dare to show
his face on the play >ground; and yet Bill
Hartwell, who set the story going, was 4
proud, boastful, selfish, cruel boy. whom no
Eody liked or believed in,
The old saying is-''Murdcr will out )"
which means, that if person is guilty, the
smallest thing may brig his guilt to light.
There are swift witnesses all along bis path,
ready, when least expected, to testify asainst
him, which was now the case, Bill just stub
bed his toe and fell, as boys do. Out jumped
George Arnold's watch, and there it lay,
right side up on the ground, pointing him to
every boy who saw it as the real thief, and
the meanest thief that could be; for he not
only robbed George Arnold of his watch, but
he tried to rob poor Freddie Howe Of what
is worth infinitely more than any watch that
was ever made-his good name.

White, an English astronomer, calculated the
return of comet in 17l2, which would ap-
pear on the 18th of the coming October, at
55 minutes past 5 o'clock in the morning /;
and he also predicted the final destruction OF
our earth on the following Friday
All classes were immensely excited by sueh
melancholy intelligence. Boats and barges
were secured wherever attainable in London,
on the presumption that there was a better
chance for prolouging lie little longer on
water than on land. South sea stock fell to
FIVE per cent and India to eleven. AS though
the people were striving TO make themselves
ridiculous, a captain of Dutch ship lying in
the Thames, threw all his powder overheard.

men were ferricd to Lambeth in order to pc

been provided for the solemn occasion in the
church service. Three maids OF honor to the
Queen burned their Libraries and purchased
bibles with all imaginable haste. Bishop
Taylor's work on Holy Living and Dying
was in demand.
In the mean while, there was run upon

Is he Rich2

Many sigh is heaved, many heart is
broken, many life is rendered miserable, by
the terrible infatuation which parents often
manifest in choosing a life companion for
their daughters. How is it possible for hap
piness to result from the union of two prin-
ciples so diametrically opposed to each other
in every point, as virtue and vice? And
yet, how often is wealth considered better
recommendation for young men than virtue.
How often is the first which is asked respect
ing the suitor for daughter, this K: 'Is he
rich 2" Yes, he abounds in wealth but does
that afford any evidence that he viii be kind
and affectionate husband? ? rs he rich ?'
Yes, his clothing is purple and fine linen, and
he fares sumptuously every day, but can you
infer from this that he is virtuous2 sis he
rich 2" Yes, he has thousands floating on
every ocean; but do not riches sometimes take
to themselves wings and fly away? And viii
you consent that your daughter shall marry a
man who has nothing to recommend him but
his wealth ? All, beware! The gilded bait
sometimes covers bearded hook. Ask not,
then lis .'e rich 2 but sis he virtuous Z" Ask
mot if he has wealth, but has he honor and
do not sacrafce your daughters peace for
money.

A Prediction Concerning Gen. Grant.


In speech made just previous to the cleo
ton, at Crcst!iae, Ohio. Mr. Eallandigham
said:
"Now. ray republican friends. I have not
said anything against Gen Grant in this CAM
Taigp. l have not done it fora purpose
If lie is fit to be President, long before his
tern expires will be found supporting him,
honestly and cordially, against the leaders Of
the party which expects to elect him in Novcm.
Der. Loud cheers. And you will have no
right TO cry out traitor against him; YOU
will have no right to talk about his I'y!erjziDg
or his Fillmoreizing, or his Johnson;zing you
You nominated him in Chicago you put q
platform-a something called a platform
into his hand; you asked him for IN acceptance
of it, and he accepted, and l dare say he
would have accepted the democratic nomina-
ton too. [Laughter.l But he took care in
his letter OF acceptance TO say that he would
not proclaim any policy. He did not consider
it advisable to do so in advance of tho e!oc>
tion-to say what he would do when lie was
elected. Now, pray you to remember that
| told you on this 2Gth Of October, that q len.
Grant will reject the mad. fanatical, revUlu>
tionary leaders of the organization which put
him forward, if he proves true to the consti-
tuition and the Union Of our fathers. Loud
checrs.1 if he will restore to this govern>
lnent its harmony, and give back to The peo-
pie their rights, North and South, l will be
found among his cordial supporters, because
l will lie found in opposition to the radical
party"

CALIFoREIA WHARF.-THE San Fran
cisco papers report that certain sections of
San Joaquin county produce forty bushels of
wheat and eighty five bushels of barley to the
acre. The Chill Club wheat, however, rails,
ed in Los Angeles county, yields eighty bush
els of wheat and one hundred bushels of
barley to the acre. These immense crops, it
is stated, are produced without the use of
any kind of manure or fertilizer, except rain
and sunshine. In England, in soils under
the most perfect cultivation, thirty-two BUSH
els per acre is the customary yield of the rich
grain growing countries.

A dwelling which sold in other days for S3,-

A vocopt lot which rented under former rule
for $40 per acre, soH under Radical rule for
$50 per acre, and would have gone lower, but
was desired by other parties whose lauds it
