The Conyers Weekly tells the
story of fortune as follows: when
old man Ben Gregory died it was
thought that be was very rich, bat
his wife and son, Bob Gregory, SC
we are told, claimed that the old man
had hid his money, and that they
did not know where it was For
the last two weeks the old lady has
been very low, and the children, be-
lieviug that the money was still
somewhere about the house, made a
search for it, and succeeded in find
ing $1,000 in gold. Considerable
stir is being made about it, but we
believe that so far Bob Gregory holds
the money. We also hear that there
is a good deal of the money deposited
here in our town, and they have
been living on it for many years"

Don't kill tn crows. 1t is only within u
few years that speakers at the various meet
ings had the courage to say word for the
crow, but now it is admitted that his charac-
ter is not so uniformly black rs his plumage.
In Northern gardens, the white.g grub is, on
the whole, the most injurious insect, when
we consider the great variety of plants IL at
lacks, ranging from grass to nursery trees,
and that its work, being beneath the surface,
is not suspected until the injury is done
The crow has kcenness of sense that allows
him TO detect the unseen presence of the
white grub, and n iondness for fat morsel
that induces him to capture it. A few years
ago, we had a chance TO watch the operations
of an assemblage Of crows on grub infested
lawn. Their skill in finding and dislodgng
the grub should have been witnessed by all
opponents of the crow.-Amey5cda AG7cuk-

"May | Kiss That Baby"

Toa solder, far away from home, there is
no more touching sight than that Cf baby
in its mothers arms. While on their way to
Gettysburg, our troops were marching by
night through village over whose gateways
hung lighted lanterns, while young girls shed
tears, rs they watched the brothers of other
women march on to possible death. A scene
of the march is thus described by the author
Of BULLET and Shell"
Stopping for moment at the gate Of a
dwelling, noticed young mother leaning
over it with n chubby child in her arms
Above the womans head swung couple of
stable lanterns, their light falling upon her
face. The child was growing with delight
nj the strange pageant, as it watched the arm
ed host pass on.
81 beg your pardon, ma'am" said Jim
Manners. one ofmy men, as he dropped the
butt of his musket on the ground, and peered
wistfully into the face of the mother and her
child.
81 beg pardon, but may | kiss that baby of
yours? I've got one just like him at home,
at least he was when | last saw him, two
years ago"
The mother, sympathetic tear rolling
down her blooming cheek, silently held out
the child. Jim pressed his unshaven face to
its innocent, smiling lips for n moment, and
then walked on, saying:
"God bless you, ma'am, for that r.

boy again in life. A bullet laid him low the

The Pleiades.

AT seven o'clock in the evening a cluster
OF stars, in the shape ola dipper, NAV be
seen overhead This is the Pleiades, or Seven
Stars. Persons of ordinary eyesight can see
only six stars, but some can distinguish nine
with the unassisted eye. When Calico OBJ
served the Pleiades with his new.made tele-
scope he counted more than forty stars :
As optical aids were improved more could be
counted, and to-day the star charts show six
hundred stars in this apparently small cluster.
The brightest star is seen where the handle
of the dpper joins the bowl. This star is
named Alcyone. The researches of astrono-
my have demonstrated that all the stars are
moving, Such movement is called proper
motion Each revolvcs about some point
i'll space or about another star. Many stars
that appear single to the naked eve split
by the telescope into two, three or more.
These have double revoluton-about each
other and collectively about some CENTRE
More than eight hundred ofthese systems
have been discovered.
Our sun is star and lis period of reyolu-
ton is approximately fixed at 2O0OO,O0O
years. celebrated astronomer has an
nounced that from careful calculations he is
satisfied that the Plelades is the centre of our
system and that perhaps Alcyone is the great
central sun about which our portion of the
universe revolves. Many years must elapse
and many thousands ofmeasurements must be
taken before our focus can be fixed Astro-
nomical law is the same wherever it pertains.
As the planets travel in elliptcal orbits, it is
probable that the orbit of our sun is also
elliptical' That described by the sun in the
last century is so small that none but the most
delicate mcrometical measurements show
where it DIVORCES from straight line. Much
has been accomplished, but more must be left
to the future nhiLadelDhia Times.

How to Hive n Swarm of Bees

They will then crawl into the hive and,
finding the queen, he satisfied TO remain

shake or brush the bees. If on n wall or

into the basket; and proceed to hive as be-
fore described
A frame of brood and another of honey
placed into the new hive will be of much ad-
vantage 10 the bees. The former will pre-
vent the swarm from leaving the hive, and
should the queen be lost, it will give them
the means of raising another, and the latter
will give them good start

woods without clustering but this is rarely

"Ill take the contract" answered the
Yankee. The day was Il cold one and the
thermometer down TO zero. Theman imme
dia,cly went TO work, but disdained to take
the large sledge hammer which was offered
him. The Yankee laid every bomb ont on
the ground with the hole up He procured
bucket and filled them all with water; then he
came into the house, made ont his bill, and
said he would call around in the morning for
the money. Every one was much mystifed,
but in the morning their establishment was
