How Dorm THE Busy BEE.-A New Eng
lander has adopted plau for ventilation,
which he learned from The bees. There are
no openings Mt the top and bottom for upward
and downward draft, fCr, on taking posses
sion of n hive, the bees, after thoroughly
cleansing it, carefully siopup every crack and
crcvicc The bees vontilato the hive a5 fol.
lows: platoon is stationed ut the entrance
in lines diycrging from tho holes of entrance,
which, by the incessant tanning motion of
their wings, forces the mir into the hive, crea-
ting thus gentle eddy. which causes the air
to make the circuit Of the hive, and then re-
turn and pass out Mt the same openings
through which IL entered. This is always tire
case VIII ere the mir is blown into n room; two
currents will pass at the same time, one m
and the other out. Each platoon of bees will
fan their wings for about thirty minutes, and
| then is relieved by another. From the bee we
should learn thnt the tirst step in ventilation
| is cleanliness in the house ~ well az in the
street and yard then We may complete the
process by placing disinfoctants and deOdor-
izors within reach Of the air. aud by mcchani-
cal means put and keep the air in motion.

Lines on the Death Of J. q. Rush.
BY B. n. n.

The Eagle Hotel for months have been,
The blissful seat of festive gl.dness;
But fates decree has changed the scene
To heartfelt grief and painful sadness.
Yea. death, the tyrant of the tomb,
Our happy home has iesolated,
By cutting down, in lifes full bloom,
Gods noblest work in it located
For, l am sure, hat blood and flesh,
A nobler soul have never enshrined,
Than that possessed by the late j. Rush
Which to his Maker he's resigned.
No more wei see his graceful smile
Or shake his friendly hand extended,
Or hear him time and care beguile,
By sterling wit and humour blended.
In Eaton Cemctary, he now sleeps
Quite near the tomb of his Forefathers
And many a Friend for him still weeps.
Through Ohio's ripling waters.
We pray he's gained eternal life,
The lure reward that to virtue given;
And when we leave this world of strife,
We hop to meet our friend in Heaven.

The negroes in the South Ca
DINA Legislature number within
q fraction of two thirds Of the
whole body. They have the
Secretary of State, and one of the
two Associate Justices of the Su-
preme Court. The Legislature
adjouued this month, and the
last days session was a miniat>
ure of the whole. An honorable
Senator says to a Nj. Leslis 'If
you don't like the party, get out
of it." This kind of thing Mr..
Leslie deems an infringement OF
free speech. Then the Senator
speaks of the person who now ex-
hibits himself as living forgery
on the name of the Governor OF
South Carolina, and intimates
that in his lLeslie's) minds eye
he sees this person appealing to
the worst passions of the black
race for his own ends.

Sr EcoNeMY.-We clip the

following from an exchange.
1t may be ofinterist to some:
1--WE don't like stingihess. We
don't like economy, when it
comes down to rags and starva-
ton. We have no sympathy
with the nation that a poor man
should hitch himself to q post
and stand still, while the rest of
the world moves forward. 1t is
no mans duty to deny himself of
every amusement, every luxury,
every recreation, every comfort
that he may get rich. 1t is no
MANS duty to make an iceberg OF
himself, to shut his eyes and
ears to the sufferings of his fell
lows, and deny himself the en-
Ijoyment that results from gen.
erous actions, merly that he may
hoard wealth for his heirs to
qurreI about. But there is an
economy which ia ever mans du-
ty, and which its is especially
commendable in tho man who
struggles with poverty-an econ,
omy which is consistent with
happiness, and which must be
practiced if the poor man would
secure independence. 1t is al
most every mans privilege, anG
it be comes bis duty to live with
in his means; not up to, but with
in them. Wealth does not make
the man, we admit, and should
never be taken into the accoun.
in u judgment of men, bu.
competence should always be BE
cured, when it be, by th'
practice of economy and self-be
NAL to only O tolerable extent.
1t should be secured, not ec
much for others to look upon, o,
to raise us in the estimation o
others, as to secure the conscious
ness of independence and thu
satisfaction which is depriveC
from it's requirement and pos
session."

WINTER SPoRT.-While its true
that we aredeprived of some of
our amusements by the reign of
cold winter, yet there are always
always others to take their
places,
This is one OF the advantages
of a variety OF seasons. Each has
its peculiar pastimes as well as
temper. There is no monoto ny
but an incessan: round of change
change of labor. She frost
king, while he piles his dainty
architecture on the window pane
and laughs the -gaudiest palace
patterns to scorn, also glasses
over stream aud pond, SO that
the anxious skater may bind the
ringing steel to his heels and.
outspend the wind The snow
flakes will not only disport in
the air, suggesting the picking OF
celestial geese, but gathering
thick and firm on the earth will
make a bed of fIeecy down for
the idle sleighs, and awaken the
merry Naturalization of the
bells.
What frolicking fun the exu.
herant boys find in buffeting the
storm and pelting each othel
with snow balls! How the sled,
are in demand, gay and arrowy
and pretentiously named as thu
regalest clippers of seal! Indoor
what games, aud what zest il
their pursuit? What social gath
erings around the blazing heartl
} such as winter only knowsi
;, What Christi mas jubillation-
what New Year jollities. An
then, though there be days O
cloud and gloom, every one is
! step of time towards.

rA 1t seems the new st. Paul NJ. z.
Church is rather doomed 10 i'll luck; for
while the roof was hardly on. the Tower
and building was seriously damaged by
lightning; and en- Monday laat, during
the violent wind storm one of the Pima.
cles on the corner was blown down;
which, upon examination, We thirk, was
caused by the careless N ,nner in which
it was put up. We are not deeirous Of
seeing our public buildings destroyed, de
this ediice is a fine ornament TO Eaton;
equal to any in the large cities. We
hope no more accidents will happen It.
Speaking of public buildings, when are
or how do our Council intend ~'dedicating
that Fine Town Gall. We also want
them to hurry up the Market House.
Butter, & Eggs are rather scarce.

GRUMBLERs.-The world is full
of grumblers. 1t is impossible to
please everybody,-Men grumble
at their wives, their Children,
friends, their preacher, their law
and more particularly, their edi-
tor. The latter named person is
perhaps, of all others, mosr sub
ject to kicks and cuffs, criticisms
and objections from every quater
When his duty is faithfully dis
charged, he is sure to displease
ONE one. All men do notthink
alike, and hence what suits Perez
does not always suit Paul, by
any means. If we write in ia
vor of temperance we offend the
liquor men, and if we change to
say word in favor of the much
abuse liquo. men, we have the
temperance advocates about our
ears. If we see merit in some
special act done in one of our
churches and compliment it., we
have to take the censures of 9th
urs about whose churches we did
not write. If we expose hypocri
sy by a few well timed hits, the
saints get it into their heads that
we-mean them, and we are inter-
rogated on the street and in our
office and subjected to a loss OF
time and a score or two of and
noying questions. And so IN
goes the year round and doubt
less will continue to go until the
grave closes ove Us, and even
then, probable, some ore will
curse ouI memory and wish that
a man like US had never lived.
This is the way of the world. An
editor has a hard lite of it here.
He earns his bread and bntter
with something even more than
the sweet ct his face, and the
crust is very often bitter from the
recollection OF the taunts and in.
suits by which it was purchased
1t requires the patiencs of Jot
and a little superaded, to get a
long with some people, and ye'
we are satisfied that our readers
are as clever ss the most of mer
and woman, and probably a lit
tie more so.
