How to Obtain Bees.

A correspondent OF the Home Farm says
"a person having decided to keep bees will
naturally wish to learn the best way to OBJ
tain them. To such would say Go to the
nearest trustworthy person who deals in
bees, and purchase one, two or half dozen
colonies of pure Italian bees, to be delivered
in good condition sometime from the first
to the twentieth of May, according to the
season. Some one may ask ; How much
shall we pay for such colonies p think
the following about fair price for both
buyer and seller. A good movable comb
hive with surplus arrangements to hold from
twenty-five to fifty pounds Of honey, would
queen two dollars. Then reckon each frame
that contains fair amount of brood and
covered with bees, at one dollar. A good
colony would have at least FIVE such frames
five dollars. Five extra frames OF comb,
and honey enough to last the bees until
fruit blossoms-about one dollar. This
would bring colony of bees up to ten dol
lars. This may not apply TO all sections of
the state, but will, think, to the larger
part. IL there is no person near you who
deals in Italian bees you can send TO some
dealer and have them sent by express. But
make up your mind beforehand not TO be
surprised when you receive the express
bilD. Or you can purchase black bees In
old box hives, transfer them to movable
comb hives, then Italianize them. But un-
less you have some knowledge of bees, you
had better get some one to show you how to
do this, who understands transferring bees
OF you may come off like the person heard
OF last season. He had Just been trans
| ferring his bees, and was telling how sue
cessful he had been, when an old bee-keeper
asked him If they had much brood. Brood,
no, but the moths were making an awful
piece Of work with them. Why there were
four or five places as big over as my hat
right in the middle Of the old hive that was
solid full OF worms, and | just chuoked
them into the stove Now those young
bees, or worms as he called them, were
probably of more value than all the old bees
in the hive. and he in his ignorance burned
them up, thinking he was destroying moths.
Still another way to procure bees is to
purchase them by the pound. This plan is
quite satisfactory to those who already have
bees or hives filed with comb where the
bees have died out of them. A queen and
pound Of bees placed on empty combs in
June, will readily build up strong colony
by fall. II you are thinking of purchasing
valuable queen, and do not wish to take
any risks in introducing her TO one OF your
colonies, would by all means advise pur-
chasing a pound Of bees with her. Give
them one frame Of Matching brood and two
combs containing some honey, and by add
ing frames of brood as fast as they can care
for 1t, you will be surprised to see how soon
you will get full colony"

The (ireat Specific.

Whatever may think of the pursuits Of
industry and science, and Of the triumphs
and glories Of art, do not mention any Of
these things as the great specific for allev-
iating the sorrows OF human life and en-
countering the evils which deface the
world. II am asked what is the remedy
for the deeper sorrows of the human heart
what man should chiefly look TO in his
progress through life, as the power that is
TO sustain him under trials, and enable him
manfully TO confront his affliotions-I must
point to something very different; to some
thing which in well-known hymn is called,
".The old, old story" told of in an old, old
book, and taught with an old, old teaching,
which is the greatest aud best gift ever
given TO mankind Gladstone.

THE GRATEFUL FLOWERS.

Though old Winter hath departed
In his snowy cap and gown,
sull the Earth. 80 long his captive,
Looked most desolate and brown.
True. some blades OF grass had started
In odd corners here and there.
But save them no green was showing
In the meadows anywhere.
"Ahi the cruel Winter left me
An unlovely thing" she sighed,
He has robbed me OF the beauty
And the grace that were my pride,
or all sweetness he's bereft me"
When some gentle voices stirred
Answering music in her bosom,
And these welcome words she heard
1--WE are coming, we are coming,
Smile, o Earth--to make you fair,
Long you've given us a shelter,
Long we've known your brooding care.
We are coming with bee hummlpg.
Dancing sunshine, laughing brook,
Balmy breeze and pleasant shower,
All the treasures Winter took"
And from every side right gladly.
Springs dear fairy blossoms sprung.
Decking Earth with gold and jewels.
While rejoicing bluebirds sung.
And no more she pondered sadly
on the sombre Winter hours.
Blessed again with youth and beauty,
BY the happy, grateful flowers.

Very Near q Row.

There came very near beinga serious
disturbance on the Morrisania on her
trip up the river on Saturday last. Two
young men, very much under the intiu-
ence of liquor, seated themselves in the
open space in front of the ladies' cabin,
and made use of some very profane and
disgusting language. Several ladies, who
were seated in close proximity to the
blackguards, arose and retired into the
cabin. About this time Mr.. James H..
Mcintyre, one of the officers of the boat,
came along and demonstrated with the
young men, asking them-in very gen
tlemanly manncr-tO desist from using
such language in the presence of
ladies, when one of them called him by
a vile and uncomplimentary name, and
requested him to go to hades.
AS Mr.. Mcintyre was in no wise anX-
ious to visit his majesty's kingdom, he
did Il still better thing by hlstling the
blackguardS to the forward part of the
boat, although they made some resis-
tance, and wanted to explain. by the
prompt action of this officer of the boat,
not only was there probably serious
row prevented, but the credit ofthe boat
saved, as there is no doubt but what
these men, had they been allowed to
continue their filthy language, would
have insuted some of the ladies on
board, the husbands of some of whom
were present, and the consequences
might have been very serious.

Boston and Quickstep - Better

The second game Of ball between the
Boston club and Quickstep on Satur-
day was a much better exhibition Of
playing than that of Friday. The
home team settled down to playing,
and the consequence was that there were
less errors and a smaller score for their
opponents. The visitors retained their
reputation as heavy sluggers, but their
hits were better handled than on Fri
day. Two very pretty stops were made
during the game, one hot line hy by
Albert, who made double play by
holding it, and a hot grounder by Sny-
der at first. ShallX also took a fine
tiv to centre with his left hand. The
game was called at 4 o'clock, with
