That Railroad.

No town appreciates railroads as
Mexico does. No one appreciates the
benefits accruing from railroads more
than we do. We believe in railroads
grading, tieing and steeling their
tracks, and paying for the right of way
where individuals won't donate it.
Railroads don't divide their profits.
Why should they their expenses
We will have the new railroad when
some company takes hold Of it and
means business.

Choice Sayings.

We quote the following words OF
wisdom from Matthew Henry, the learn,
ed English Biblical commentator:
Divine vengeance comes with feet
of lead, but it strikes with hands OF
iron.
Men may die like lambs, and yet have
their places with the goats.
1t is common for those who are far
thest from God to boast themselve:
most of living near the church.
Events are not determined by tht
wheel of fortune, which is blind, but by
the wheels of Providence which are ful
of eyes.
l reckon him a Christian, indeed, thai
is neither ashamed of the gospel nor q
shame to it.
Nature is content with little, grace will
less, but lust with nothing.
Gods presence with a man in his
fhouse, though it be but a cottage
makes that house both castle and {
palace.
Length of days is wisdom's right hant
blessing, typical of eternal life; but il
is in her left hand that are riches and
honor.
1t is good to be early at our devo-
tions. The morning is as good a
friend to the graces as it is to the
muses..
We ought to know the Scriptures as
the physician does his dispensatory, the
lawyer his books of reports, and the
sailor his charts and compass.
Gods laws were never designed to be
like cobwebs, which catch the little flies
but suffer the large ones to break
through.
Venture not into the company of
those that are infected with the plague,
no, not though thou think thyself guard
ed with an antidote.
And when we are in prosperity we
are ready to think our mountain never
be brought low, so when We are in ad-
versity we are ready to think our valley
will never be filled up.
When Christ was about to leave the
world, he made his will: his soul he be-
queathed to his Father, his body he be-
queathed to Joseph, to be decently
buried, his clothes fell to his soldiers, his
mother he left to the care of John; but
what should he leave to his poor disci-
pies, that had left all for him? Silver
and gold he had none, but he left them
that which was infinitely better, his
peace.

Progress In Bee Culture.

Twenty-Five years ago, bee-keeping
was sadly neglected pursuit. Here and
there farmer kept few hives to fur
nish his own table with honey, but no
one thought of making it business.
Since the introduction of improved
hives, italian bees, honey extracters,
comb-foundations, and other useful i'm
provements, bee-keeping has assumed a
ate industry. Movable frame hives, not
now patented give the apiarist full con-
troll of the interior of the hive, and ena-
BILE him to turn the bees instinct to his
advantage; but probably no hive will
ever be invented that will be perfect in
itself, and give good results without at
tention from the owner, spite of the
numerous patent concerns claiming to
be ';non-swarmers," and "moth proof"
that have been peddled throughout the
country, often by inventors who have
no practical knowledge of bee-keeping.
Within the past few years, multitudes
of farmers have rushed headlong into
the business Of bee-keeping, expecting
to realize fortune in a short time. Ma
turally, many have been disappointed,
for bee-keeping, like other avocations of
life, needs thorough study, and careful
preparation for the work. The theory
must first be thoroughly learned, and
put in practice by hard work.
Much has been done for the advance
ment of the science; much remains to
do. Methods are being improved and
systematized, reducing the cost and in
creasing the demand. The low prices of
last year caused thousands to use honey
who hardly ever tasted it before, except
as a luxury, but who, having acquired
liking for it, will not readily give it
up. The great mortality among bees
during the last Winter and Spring has
also had a salutary effect, inasmuch as
many retired from the business dis
heartened, thus preventing the market
from being overstocked, while the per-
Severing raisers received better prices.
The honey crop the past season was
light, though estimated at 100000
pounds. If the Winter proved disas-
trous to bees, which on account of too
little breeding last Fall, we think quite
probable, we shall expect a golden har-
vest for bee-keepers in the year 1885,
Cor Land and Home.
