there your bee tree will be. Now carefully
mark the spot and commence the search of
trees. This is often the most laborious of the
whole process, requiring considerable plac-
tice to enable one to discover the bees mt any
great distance from the ground. At this
point good pocket telescope will be of ben
eft; but if you have nothing but the naked
eye to aid you, get into the shadow of the
tree and walk slowly backward and forward.
examining closely the body and larger limbs,
just below the sun. They may be seen very
readily while in this position, as the retlec-
ton of the suns rays from their wings make
them appear quite large.
The above method is to be practiced in
early spring and after the frost has killed
the flowers in autumn. In case you wish to
hunt bees while flowers are in bloom it is
best to catch them from the blossoms. For
this purpose box with movable bottom

POVERTY A HINDRANCE TC
CHRISTIAN GROWTH.
TO

There is nothing | dislike more than to
hear people with good clothes on their backs,
and twenty clerks to come and go at the mo-
ton of their finger, eulogize poverty. For
one, hate it, and always expect to. When
II family has to practice an unnatural frugal
ity, it is n curse. 1t imbitters manhood, and
shrivels up womanhood. 1t begets envy and
discomfort with ones lot and murmurngs
against God. 1t wrinkles prematurely the
face of beauty with the ugly lines of excessive
care; renders one harsh and querulous in
speech, and unamiabe in temper. Itmakes
generosity impossible, by the exercise of
which the nature is ennobled. 1t denies one
the means of culture, forbids the mind that
leisure which it requires for the acquisition
of II healthful knowledge, and chains u man
down until life has no nobler object than to
obtain food wherewith to supply his lower
and daily-recurring wants Thus every day
consumes the entire result of its own tolls,
and leaves no surplus for the future. The
physical is thus elevated until it entirely
overtops in importance and necessity the in
tellectual and spiritual, and man becomes
simply IA rational animal. To my mind,
poverty is something to hate and fly from.
1t dwarfs the mind, Expresses the soul, i'm
bitters the heart, and stnts the growth and
usefulness of man. | know that Christ bore
it; but he bore it us he did all the other
wretched conditions and surroundings of
mortal life,-tO show that it could be borne,
and because it beloved the Captain of our
salvation to be made perfect through suffer-
ing. If could have my way,-and | say it

CATION rich. | would put comfort, and appli-

pie would be much better than they are if

cramps them and dwarfs them, and puts a
great temptation upon them to lie and steal
and deceive; hardens them, makes them
reckless, and sends them to the bottle in the
hope of finding in unconciousness refuge
from their troubles and surcease of sorrow
| know that God pities all such, and forgives

IT'S evidently so.
The woman was not taken,
From Adams feet, we see,
So he must not abuse her,
The meaning seems to be.
The woman was extracted
From under Adams arm,
So she must be protected
From injury and harm.

A CURIOUS IsLE.-Mr. Macgreg0r, who has
been cruising in Holland with his Rob Roy, the
present autumn. gives the following account of
the unique little island of Marken: A thousand
people lived here on a small area under the sea-
level. Their houses are in seven groups all
built of wood except three. Two pear trees are
the only forest, aud 4 dozen gerauums the only
flowers Standing on the little cemetery, yon
see ships sailing all around you and all above
your head. Let one breach be made in that sea
wall, and all the land will melt into the muddy
oOze of the rolling ZJyder Zee. The "Preester"
here is the sole element of intelligence, with
Schiller and Goethe ON his booll-shcYeS, cigar
in his mouth, and on his table a new English
book translated into Dutch, "Joln Ploughman's
Talk" by G. II. Sturgeon. All the men and
boys are fishers. They have $50 little soops in
their Liliputiau port. Their trousers are two
bags such as the TURKS wear mt Smyrna. Their
church has votiVc offerings from The ceiling,
model ships, fishers nets, and fish skipping
about in miniature over the clumsy pews.
White caps cover the wOmenS heads down 10
the eyebrows, and black curs come from below
the front and turn upward at the forehead A
long tress of hair hangs at the ear of each I'M
married girl, and two for those who have hus-
bands. About their bOsoms are eupiously
wrought boddices. The stuff for these is no
longer manufactured, so the dress is devised by
will and your niece wears the mantle of her
great-grandmother. The interior of the wooden
houses is very peculiar. One large loom holds
one or more families, and has peat fire in the
middle, and no opening for smoke, or light or
air. In few richer dwellings there is an excess
of ornament, all Of one nck-nack type-china,
brass aud carved work. IN one Of the houses !

were entirely covered by about three hundred
def plates, pans and sauccrs, all suspended by
strings; by black ScuIpturcd cabinets, brass can
destcks, samplers Of last century, 6aromeiers
without mercury, clocks that last told the time
IN 1920, pictures OF Van Tiomp's bartles, cats,

chief collectors of certU in Marker. Her
house must he the South Kensington of 5he

her less fortunate neighbors, must also he an

In the day of the underground railroad, Mr..
William Rich of Troy, N. T., was its principal
agent i'm that city. A prominent and wealthy
democrat used to give him help sometimes,
when the treasury of the company was low
Entering his counting room, MIR. r. would stand
without saving word until the old gentleman
was ready to wait upon him. "Well, William,
what 5 the matter now, STRIP was the inquiry of
the democrat 81 am sorry to say, sir" William
would answer, 81 have another load of tugitveS
on my hands" "Don't you know, William,
that il is against the constitution and the law
for you TO be spiritiug slaves off to Canada in
this way! These slaves must be sent back to
their masters Here's SO to help send them
back" William would depart with the money,
and the slaves would depart for Canada.
chimney-sweep named Edward Jones has
Just died in London, who, thirty years ago, was
known all over the kingdom on account of his
iniatuation for Queen Victoria, then Young and
attractive. He climbed down the chimney of ST.

capped when chased, except on one occasion,
when he was caught in the act of entering the
queens apartments, and put in prison. As soon
as his time was up he tried repeatedly again to
see the queen and the police took the matter in
hand. He was arrested and sent TO Australia

Whatever else may be said of this year, 1871,
it must be admitted that it is a year Of plenty to
the hunter. The pr0ires OF Illinois abound in
d0cks Of quail, the woods of Wisconsin TEEN

New York, Ohio forests are broken down by the

corn-tields are alive with black-brds. The lux

him and to the president. There is no doubt
that the affairs of that bureau will now be adj

Bennett has, indeed, reason to be proud OF ITS
achievement which takes rank with the Stand
ards announcement of the arrival oil the Boga-
tire last week in advance of all the other papers
but one.
The democratic organs pretty generally admit
that their party has no hope of success in the
next presidential canvass. None of them are
blind enough to expect TO win by adhering to
the traditional principles and policy of the party.
Those who have any hope at all put their trust
in some special piece Of political strategy. Val
landigham's new departure was device Of this
kind, which startled many conservative demo-
Gratis by its novelty and radcalism. They
thought it was going too far but it is now con-
ceded that something more than this is needed
to save the party, if it can he saved at ALL II is
long since We have heard any of the familiar
names of democratic leaders suggested as prob
able candidates for the next presidency. Hof-
man, Pcndeion, Hendricks and the rest are out
of the question. Even Chief Justice Chase has
too strong a democratic odor about him to be-
available in this emergency. 1t is felt that only
a republican can be elected, and, if the demo
Gratis are to elect him, republican must
be found VINO viii accept the demo.
cratic nomination. A considerable mum.
Der OF prominent republicans, including
nearly all who are understood nor to be on
good terms with the president, have been sug
gested as possible candidates, with the effect Of
eHciting from leading democratic papers
general admission that anybody would be ac-
ceptable, no matter what his antecedents, if he
seemed likely to defeat Grant. Among those
whose names have been received with more or
less favor, are Senator Sumner, Horace Greeley,
Gratz Brown, William Evarts, and Governor
Palmer Senator SchuIz would do eXcellently,
if he were eligible. Some of these are free
traders and some protectionists, but that makes
no difference; platforms are of no consequence,
political anlecedents or precedens opinions are of
the smallest Importance The only object is to
find some one who can get votes enough beat
Grant. That he will he the republican candi-
date is admitted, and that his defeat alone will
satisfy the democratic party, tends to prove that
he, more than any other man, is the representa-
tive of the principles and tendencies in our poll
tics against which that party has struggled for
the last ten years in vain.
