NO. 1.

It is my wish to make my articles of
practical utility to the citizens of Flor
ida. There is a great deal written at the
present time on the bee question, but
what will do for our friends at the North,
will not in all cases do for us in Florida.
DO not claim entire originality of all
the ideas here advanced. but shall try
to condense and make as plain as posi-
BILE all that can learn from others,
through the various books and journals,
and have found of practical use to US in
this climate.
I commenced this study and practice
of Bookkeeping at Washington, D. O.,
and find great many general rules that
would do to work by there, will not do
at all here.
Bee culture need no longer be con-
sidered precarious and uncertain pur-
suit, which only those who have luck
are successful in. Luck has no more to
do with Bookkeeping than it has with
sheep raising or any other business,
where knowledge of what has TO be done,
and the proper appliances 10 do with,
are necessary for success.
The many discoveries and improve
ments of recent date have made the
practical work as simple. when we'll un.
derstood, as any other branch of rural
economy.
Without being deprived of the least OF
its attractiveness to the student, it has
become, when properly conducted, a
source of remunerative profit to many
who are now making it business.
1t may be viewed as d science as well
as a practical art, as a knowledge OF
the natural history and habits OF the
honey bee are necessary to any one who
hopes to make Bookkeeping a success as
we'll as pleasure.
The great advance that bee culture

| remember was reared by gentle hands
near secluded quiet cottage window, and
once lifting up my aspiring eyes looked in
to the sweet, coy room, and there saw
sleeping in her downy cradle-bed a lovely
baby, with eyes as blue as the bright sky
that pours down sunshine on the flowers
and checks that would rival the bushes Of
my most exquisitely tinted petals. n was
the delight Of my life to watch the baby a.

In her fond mothers arms, and where she
was, there would always be the sweetest
perfume Of my flowers.
One bright Sabbath morning when all
around was calm and still and no sound
was heard save the warbling Of the 1T.

mother came with her baby in her armS,

oh how sweet and refreshing, did they feel:
but the solemnity was such, that was stir

THE UNSEEN BATTLR-FIRLD.

There is an unseen battlefield
In every human breast;
Where two opposing forces meet,
And where they seldom rest.
The field is yelled from mortal sight;
Tis only seen by One
Who knows alone where victory lies
When each days fight Is done.
One army clusters strong and fierce;
Their chief Of demon FORM
His brow is like the thunder-cloud,
His voice the bursting storm
His captains Pride, and Lust, and Hate.
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point.
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force
Is but little band,
Yet there, with an unyielding front,
Those warriors firmly stand
Their leader is a godlike form,
OF countenanee serene;
And, glowing on his naked breast,
A simple cross Is seen.
His captains, Faith, Hope, and Love,
Point TO the wondrous sign,
And, gazing at it, all receive
Strength from a power divine.
They feel 1t speaks glorious truth
A truth as great as sure
That, to be victors, they must learn
To loUe, confde, endure.
That faith sublime, In widest strife
Imparts holy calm;
In every deadly blow, shield,
For every wound, balm!
And, when they win that battlefield,
Past toll is quite forgot;
The plain, where carnage once had reignet
Becomes hallowed spot
A spot where flowers Of JOY and peace
Spring from the fertile sod,
And breathe the perfume of their praise
On every breeze-to God.
