WRITTEN JUST AFTER THE WAR by JOHN MIN
TOsH-" OLD VERMONT"
"Why, Billy, your room is as cold as the hut
We had by the swamp and river,
Where we lost our major, and Tim, you know,
And sixty more with the fever
'Wcll, Tom, old fellow, it's hard enough,
But the best at times knock under,
There's ne'er a stick Of wood in the house
But that Crutch in the corner yonder
"sorry 1 listed? Don't ask me that, Tom;
If the flag was again in danger,
I'd aim gun with an aching stump
At the foe, were he brother or stranger.
But I say, ought wound from shot or shell,
Or pistol bullet, by thunder
Forever to doom poor fellow to want,
With that CrutCh in the corner yOudCr.
"That crutch, old comrade, ought ever to be
A draft at sight on the Nation
For honor respect and friendly hand;
For clothing, and quarters, and ration2
My wife-she begs at the Nugget House,
Where the big bugs live in splendOr,
And brag DER their wine Of the fights that
brought
Such as that in the corner youdcr.
"And Charlie-he goes to some place up town,
Some ticket-for-soup arrangements
All well enough for a hungry boy,
But, Tom, its effects are enlargement
I'd sooner have kicked the bucket twice DER,
By shell or a round teu-pOunder
Than live such a life as I'm doing now,
With that crutch in the corner yOnder
"There's ne'er a thing left to pawn or to SELL
And the winter has closed on labor,
This medal is all that is left me now
With my pistols and trusty saber;
And those by the sunlight above us, Tom,
No power from my trust shall sunder,
Save the One that releases me at last
From that CrutCh in the corner yOnder.
81 can raise this arm that is left to me
To the blessed heaven above MS,
And swear by the throne Of the Father there
And the angels all, who love us,
That the hand have and the hand I lost
We're never yet stained with plunder,
And for the love of that dear old flag, 1 now
Use that crutch in the corner yOnder
oDO I ask too much when I say we boys
Who fought for the Nations glory,
Now that the danger is past and gone,
In comfort should tell our story?
How should we have fought when the mad
shells screamed
And shivered our ranks, 1 wonder,
Had we known our lot would have been to beg,
With that crutch in the corner yOnder.
"Theres little we'll hear Of nowadays
But pardon and reconstruction,
While the soldier who fought aud bled for both,
Is left to his own destruction.
TwOuld be well, l think, in these nipping
times,
For those Congress fellows to ponder
And think Of US boys who use such things
As that crutch in the corner yOnder."

BEES AND BEE CULTURE.
BY c. o. COLLINS.
NO. II.


lMCREASE OF SIOCkSs
Swarming is the natural way of in
.creasing colonies, but no practical
apiarist will think of letting his bees
swarm when it can be so easily pre-
vented. Natural swarming involves
a great deal Of labor, care and time
in watching, which may all be saved
by dividing, and we thus save the
risk Of loosing our bees by their
going off to the woods. Swarming
may be prevented by clipping the
queens wings, so that she cannot
follow the bees when they issue from
the hive, and as soon as they find
that the queen is not with them they
will return to the hive. The apiarian
should, however, look for the queen
about the hive, as she may have
come out and being unable to fly
have fallen off the alighting board to
the ground, where she will be quick
| ly discovered by the bees that will
cluster around her When she is
returned the hive should be opened
and the queen cells either destroyed
or cut out to be used in making arti.
fetal swarms, and two or three
frames should be removed and
empty ones substituted to give work,
ing room. The wings of a queen
with a second swarm should never
be cut, for that would be fatal to
that colony, as a queen with a sec,
ond swarm is unimpregnated and tC
cut her wings would prevent her i'm
pregnation and render her barren OF
a drone laying queen, which wOulC
in either case be fatal to the life o
| the colony. Swarming may some
times be prevented by keeping the
| bees we'll supplied with working
room, lie. empty frames and sections
but it is not a certain preventative
Where the bee keeper allows hi
! bees to swarm naturally he shOulC
always be prepared with empty hive
and no thoughtful bee-keeper will b.
unprepared for such an importan
occasion. The hives should bu
clean and free from any ofensiv
odor. The practice Of rubbing tn
+ inside Of the hive with peach leave
is all nonsense, as nothing is re
quired to induce the bees to stay il
% their new quarters but that itis cleai
and pure. The reason why so man
s bees leave their hives after being pu
into them is that the hives are no
clean; they have been used to sc
8 hens in or as receptacles for ashes O
other rubbish, or have been occu
pied by rats and mice during IN
. winter and filled with their offensiv
;. odor, aud who could blame the poo
e bees for leaving such disagreeabl
?. quarters.
When the swarm issues the apial
ian should keep quiet and max
everyone else about the premises d
the same, not that the noise that PEI
pie often make on such occasions b

A great many people call the present age an
ayarciOus one. The American, as a rule,
thinks of the almighty dollar i'm all of his tran
sactious, whether in the pursuit of wealth,
health or pleasure, The general tendency of
our race is toward excess, and this should be
carefully guarded against. The love of money

evil, but an people seem Co be after plenty of

How Watch Cases are Made.

It is a fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "sold
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from A to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for IL
or IA karats. It is NOT economy to buy q
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
It is economy to buy James BOSE Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-

rhs Quantity OF Fruit I'm tue market Also
Unusually Large.
From the New York Times,
Not only is there a great abundance Of
poultry, but the market is full of almost
oil kinds of game to be found there at this
season of the year. Quail are unusually
fine now, and Jersey quail are wholesaled
at from 81 to s2.25 per dozen. Western
quail of very good quality will not sell for
more than 81. so per dozen, and they will
be even more abundant this week.
Good wild geese are hard to whole.
sale at sl.5o per pair: and Wild
stock. It is thought that the large losses
which Western poultry shippers are likely
to meet with from the extreme low prices
at which their poultry must be sold will
deter many OF them from shipping for the
holidays, and the great abundance of
poultry at this time may be tho cause of o
limited supply then. While there may
not be again this season time when
poultry can be bought 30 low as now, 1t
will be almost impossible to create
scarcity of it. The poultry is In the
West, and while corn is Of very little value
there, the poultry growers are naturally
anxious to sell their stock as soon as 1t Ia
fat enough for marketing, 30 as not to
waste grain. Vast quantities of 1t in
consequence will be killed and shipped,
even at extremely low prices.
The quantity Of fruit now in the market
also is unusually large. OF the supply Of
apples it is only necessary to say that good
for s1.25, and fancy Greetings, Bald wins
aud Kings for $3.50. Some few barrels Of
apples of extraordinary beauty have sold
for as HIGH as AZ mar harreI and a few
