Tired Natures Sweet RestOrer.

A writer says: Sleep is positive ne
ceSSity. 1t is a period Of recuperation,
during which there is a restoration of
what has suffered collapse, waste, or dis
turbance during the period of waking ac-
tivity. The tired brain and catching mus
Giles regain byrest strength and the pow
er TO OBEY the mandates of the will. The
demands OF the material form for rest
are so great as to often defy the action of
the MIND. During the cholera summer

HiVing Bees.

WHEN a swarm of bees issues, the OBJ
ject is to get them into the hive, and the
hive upon the stand, as soon as it can be
done. To secure safe hiving, it is only
necessary to get the swarm into direct &C
cess to the hive, and, portion of them
entering, to assure the swarm of the stu
alton.
If they alight upon a small limb of
tree, or bush easily severed, place the
hive upon its permanent stand, sever the
limb or bush from its stock, remove the
bees carefully, and lay them upon a table
or board even with the entrance to the
hive, and disturb them sufficiently to ap-
prise them of the situation. When some
have entered, their note will incite others.
to follow, and soon all will have entered,
and company of workers have left for
stores from the field for their new home.
If they alight upon an object that can
not be removed to the hive upon the
stand, place the hive upon a cloth, board
or table in the most convenient location
for bringing the bees into contact with
the entrance to the hive, and as soon as
they have entered remove the hive to its
stand. When upon a large limb, at its
outer extremity, [ have placed the hive

cluster; then with a heavy jar with my
foot upon the limb sent the whole cluster
fifteen feet upon the ground. A few
found the entrance, and soon all fol-
lowed.
In another case a large swarm alighted
upon the body Of an apple tree. I placed
the hive within reach on one hand with
the cluster of bees on the other hand, the
hive standing upon an elevated table, and
with tin dipper took the bees from the
cluster and emptied them at the entrance
Of the hive, and soon they all entered.
Another swarm alighted high in the top
of pear tree, or on the body of the tree
centrally in the top. The hive was placed
in position, supported by sticks laid
across the limbs, with the entrance di-
rectly against the cluster A little dis
turbance and little tobacco smoke in
duced them to enter the hive; then they
were removed to the stand. A swarm mat
alighted upon small limb in the top of
a large elm tree was secured by severing
the twig and lowering the cluster by a
long line.
Sometimes a box may be used, or
basket, to secure the bees and convey
them to the hive upon the stand.

AN old negro woman was arrested and
brought before the Mayor of Montgomery,
Ala, for picking up some driftwood at
the edge Of the river. Her defense was
that God sent the rain that raised the riv-
er that brought the wood. The Mayor
thought it a good defense and discharged
her.

TIE CoIEr.-Hundreds OF our people
nightly take in the comet with opera
glasses and in many other conceivable
ways. 1t can be now dlscerned with
reasonable satisfaction with the naked
eye, but through good opera glasses it
is clearly defined. The phenomenon
presents itself about nine o'clock in the
northern heavens, a little west OF the
north, at an angle of about forty-five
degrees from the horizon. The nucleus
points toward the nerth, the tail sweep
ing upwards, curving slightly. Observed
through strong glasses, the spectacle
is very beautiful, but as the comet will
not attain it's greatest brillsncy until
August Sd, its greatest beauty is yet to
be seen, aud seen either without tele
scopes or with them, should the wealth
er remain favorable. 1t is estimated
that it will by that time have attained
brilliancy equal TO about thirty times
it's present luminous appearance. 1t
has been stated that about the 22d Of
July the tail OF the comet would en-.
counter the earth, but with no other
result than electic or auroral displays
1t is now stated by the same authority
that the earth will just escape that
visitation.

A Coon JoKE.-When the Great
Baxoo" fishing club arrived at Bolton
yesterday, II. S. White, of that place,
presented Charlie Senseney, the Cap
tain OF the "Bszoos." with an easy
chair. While Captain Senseney was
making a neat little speech in response
to this act of kindness on Mr.. White g
part, somebody stole the chair. The
" Bazoos are rampant, and threaten
to clean out that part OF the country.
Probably some swift running member
OF the club had something to do with
the missing article.

one of our well known city officials was
out 10 the woods on the Fourth o.
July, celebrating the day 10 his own
particular fashion, and all by himself
he discovered the camp OF private
picnic, composed Of some of the nail
ors OF the Belmont mill and their fami,
lies. The pic-nicers happened to be acres
the creek from where he was, 80 he
started across. He was riding q horse,
and when he gained the middle OF the
stream the animal fell, throwing Mr.
CITY Official into the water. The
splasbing and kicking and noise OF the
horse and owner attracted the attention
OF the picnic folks, who went to the
rescue and brought the pair to shore
When they first saw the splashiug and
cavortipg OF the objects in the water
they thought it was bippopotamus
that had escaped from some menagerle.

And this was their design.
That Iabelle hill be decorated
Wild flags OF white and blue,
And c ins Sc fire both green and red
And almost every hue,
Should adorn the SPOT,
And make 1t grand in honor of T6,
When the King OF England had sought
To get us in fiX.
All shure the night was long sought foor,
Our lads had given free,
From out their Thin ould pocket books
Those purity sights to see,
The lame, the blind coptributed
Sor sure their hearts beat WARM,
For glorious independence day,
To them 1t wore charm.
Well, that MEMORABLE night driw near
The shades ofnight coome on,
The girls and booys emerged.
From hall and grassy lawn,
Ould men wild wooden ligs
Hoped glidly on their pins,
For sure they thought twas good to have
1he use OF ither limb.
House tops were scaled Wild young and ould.
The cooks they let heir pots,
The swallows and martins lert the sky,
The horse forgot his oats,
II ewes seemed fixed on L6belle hill
One eager glance to get,
or some roaring, Kissing rocket,
Athwart the heavens let.
Full ha' ( an hour wild fortitude

Widout a murmpr or sigh

To pull the wool clane over the eyes
Or nabOb, pauper and clown,
But rigid they stood and watched
For those ockets 10 The east OF town.
But bark dreadful roaring Is heard,
The heavens are all in glow,
All eyes turn round, rocket was seen
To start from the clouds and GO,

For old dame nature had got ashamed,
And ont from the clouds such 18th OF July
Never before on earth was named.
