Artificial Swarming.

Mitchell's plan is to take frame OF
brood from the centre of eight strong
colonies, and to place them, with their
adhering bees, into an empty hive on
the stand where you wish it to remain.
The bees, finding so many strangers,
will be perfectly confused, and not in
clined to fight, as one would suppose,
and ID two or three days Will go towork
as though nothing had happened. This
may be continued as long as the honey
season lasts. An empty frame will have
to be put in the place of the frames
taken out of the old hive, and if there
IS an empty space in the new hive it
should be filed with empty frames, or,
what is preferable, frames containing
empty comb. Care should be taken
not to take ont the old queen with any
OF the frames that are removed. It will
be much better If you have a queen to
put in with the new colony, as it will
save them a great deal of time West

Midsummer Eve.

A sunset glory lines the West
with streaks of crimson In the pine
The ring-dove murmurs on her nest,
And myriad golden starlets shine.
Upon the fair, calm hour of night,
As she her sable vail lets fall,
The swallows from the dizzy height
OF iyied steeple twittering CAL.
As twilight fades, and darkness grows
Upon the landscape, and the leaves
OF dew-flled flowers slowly close,
An martins gather meath the caves
And on the breast of silver stream,
The lilies culver, while the sigh
OF rusting night breeze, like dream,
Stirs their white blooms, and passes by.
The sleeping swans, with ruffied wings
And head reposing, slow drift on;
The nightingale melOdiOus sings
The blossom laden bough upon.
The FLASHING of the mill wheel falls
Like music on the farm-boy's ear,
As, homeward trudging, bithe he calls,
And whistles when his cot is near.
The lights go out in cottage homes,
The labors of the daytime cease;
Abroad the king Of slumber roaTns;
And in his train are-Rest and Peace.
All the Year Round.

CHILDREN'S CORNER.
Pantry Sch DOL.

I'm thinking of the school-house, Ned,
Where we sat side by side,"
And studied Webster's Spelling-book.
And laughed DER Gilpin's ride;
And traded jack-knives now and then,
When not engaged in play,
And got our jackets nicely warmed
How often III not say.
I'm thinking of the roadside green.
Of every tree aud nook
And how in sunny hours of noon
We swan in Pantry Brook;
And when upon the easement came
The rulers tattoo loud,
How each of us. in passing in
Took Off his hat and bowed
I'm thinking of the benches rude,
And desks, so broad and steep,
On which we left our autographs,
In letters wide and deep;
And where our frat new writing-book.
SO free from stain and spot,
We soon adorned, on every page,
With many an off-hand blot
I'm thinking of the % old slough" Ned,
And its waters dark and cool,
In which we bathed our sunburnt feet
While on the way to school;
And where the youthful tadpoles lay,
In spring-time, many a score,
And golden lilies richly bloomed
In summer, near the shore.
I'm thinking of the forests cool,
Where frs ar d cedars grew,
And where our feet in moses sank,
As we hunted gum to chew
And OF the pleasant meadows, where,
On many scattered tree,
We heard the red winged blackbird sing
His song Of "quonk ree."
I'm thinking of the hour-glass, Ned,
With its sands so white and fine,
On which our teacher, smiling, gazed
AS neared the hour to dine
End I feel my sands are wasting, Ned,
For oft the children say,
As I fondle them upon my knee,
Papa, you're growing gray"

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. IF wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be 70, nd so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
