GILAS HIVING BEES.
HOW HE EXPECTED TO DO 1T AND
HOW HE DIDN'T
[Fromthe Toledo Blade, J

The old gentleman's name is Silasy and
that of his eldest son is George; bis wife's
name is Matilda, and his three pretty
daughters are named Helen, Alice and
Susie; there is a little Silas, too, and an
older boy whose name is too queer to
mention.
The bees had alighted in great bunch,
as large as half bushel measure, on the
limb of a peach tree in the yard. You
all know how it is done, A table is
placed under the overhanging limb,
spread with clean white cloth, and the
hive placed thereon.
Then one of the boys, one that is good
for nothing else, is sent into the tree with
a saw to sever the Limb; the limb comes
down slowly and easily, and the old gent
below, dressed in great coat, buckskin
gloves, Cowhide boots, and bed-quilt
tied around his neck and face, slyly man
ipulates twig from the tree, and in two
minutes has safely coaxed every bee to
enter the hive, during all which time
Matilda and Helen and Alice and Susie
pourd the bottoms out of just four tin
pans, little Silas does his prettiest yelling,
while the boy with the queer name is
juss old enough and sharp enough to slip
behind the house and wait for the thing
to come to a point That is the way it
olsht to have gone off; bu; that isn't the
Way i. din. Silas, The cider, Was very
comfortably bundled up for SO warm a
day, and he had his suit well arranged,
only he forgot to tie strings around the
bottoms of his pants legs.
The bees had settled on the limb of q
peach tree, and Silas, when his table and
white cloth and hive were all ready, COM
manded: rg
"Now, George, grab that old rusty saw
and climb; | guess you can cut that small
limb off easy enough" \"
George was just home from six
months term at school, and he felt a
great tenderness for his father and would
have gone through a patch Of thistles
barefooted to please the old gent, and
yet he had a particular dread for the
"business end" of a bee, and particularly
such crowd of them. But he obeyed,
and began to fiddle away cautiously upon
the particular limb. One little bunch OF
bees cropped off and were Gagged anoth-
er and another small bunch droppeI,
and TIE prospect seemed good, when
suddenly an old honey maker, who had
been in the business before, scared up
ward George shut up one eye quick,
gave one terrible surge on the only rusty
saw, got out of that tree at one jump, and
bis anxious mother caught one glimpse
of him as he flew around the corner Of
the barn twenty rods away
~ But poor old Silas The bees came
down, and he though the bunch was as
big as q haystack now. They did not 90
intothe hive, but they went through his
oyercoat and bed-auilt as ii these had
been only mosquito bars. and climbed

OBITUARY,
ISAAC MERRITT SINGER.

/. NJ. Singer, inventor of the sewing
machine which bears his name, died at
his residence at Old Paignton, near Tor
quay, England, July 2Sd, in the sixty
fourth year of his age. His father was a
German, millwright by trade; his
mother was native of Rensselaer, Coun-
ty, New York, where he was born. AT
an early day the family removed to Os,
wego, but the father met with little sue
cess in his business, and the son, when
about twelve years of age, with very i'm
perfect school education and no money,
departed from home to which he never
returned He soon turned his attention
to mechanical work, and maintained
himself as a machinist, but he never
served any regular apprenticeship and
never claimed to be journeyman. At
one time Mr.. Singer devoted his leisure
hours to study for the stage. He enjoyed
the acquaintance and to limited extent
the instruction of Placide, Porey, Clarke
and others of the old Park Theatre.
During several years he was theatrical
manager, and gave frequent representa-
tions of plays in the interior cities of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. In
certain line Of character he is said to
have acted with much success. To the
close of his life he had an ardent love for
theatricals and music, and in the splendid
mansion which he had built within the
last few years theatre complete in all it's
appointments was included. While he
was still a young man he invented a
steam drilling-machine, which was used
with much advantage in the construc-
ton of various railways and canals. Sub
sequently he invented machine for
carving wood, metals or marble. When
endeavoring to introduce this invention
to public notice and use, his attention
was casually directed to the sewing ma
chine.
At that time 1850, though several
patents on sewing devices had been
granted in this aud other countries, no
practical machine capable of profitable
employment to do ordinary work had
ever been produced. Up to that time
sewing machines had been experimental
merely and had failed to be useful. In
eleven days the first Singer sewing ma
chine was invented and built complete.
1t contained much that was new and USE
full Subsequent improvements, for which
humorous patents were obtained, added
very greatly to the value of this machine;
but it was successful and profitable from
the beginning to all concerned in it, Sc
curing the inventor vast fortune. In
1860 Mr.. Singer retired from the active
management of business and since that
time has resided mainly abroad. After
several years residence in Paris he went
with his family to England, and finally
purchased an estate and settled down at
Old Paignton, near Torquay, in Devon
shire. The last years of his life were de-
voted to the improvement of that prop
erty, where he dispensed liberal hospi-
tality, and to the poor of that neighbor-
hood his death will be severe bereave-
ment.

old gent danced as he had never danced
before; and he slapped his legs, as ne
never allowed any one else to slap them,
and his voice lowered high above the
clatter Of the tin pants and the shrieks
of little SiIas as he yelled:
"Throw water ON we throw water on
me- soak me, wet me DOWN.
He rolled three or four times over IN
the grass, and sprang up, shouting, slap
me slap me Can't You slap me " in the
midst of which little Silas crept up be-
hind his infuriated pa and dealt HIM a
lively one with a shingle; but poor little
Silas landed the next second against the
milk house, for his pa took him and his
shingle for thousand bees, and gently
brushed them off,

But these things don't last always, any
more than any other happiness, and after
few minutes the old gent came llmplng
out of the cellar with the breeches on

easier, but certainly much fatigued, just
as George got back from the barn and
the boy with the queer name slipped
around the corner of the house. Both
boys were very anxious to know how
matters stood and asked
