In order to be followed the bee must have
s distinguishing mark that can be easily
EeeD, and with such badge the Australian
provides it. He gums q small tUft of white
cotton to the bees back, and thus follows it
with comparative ease. But the question
now comes up, how is the cotton to be put
upon the heels backs The gum is quickly
iound-it IS On almost any tree; the cotton
grows right at hand. The bee too is found
in almost any sweet flower, buried head
first in the dusty pollen, drinking in the
nectar and showing quito plainly whether
its honey sac Is full or empty. It moves a
little in its eager hasto 10 secure the delicious
liquid, but perhaps quick dab will fasten
the cotton on its back. Do not try it As
the little boy told his mother tho bee is a
very "quicll kicker"
Watch the Australian-and he is a very
stupid fellow, too, in most things. He fills
his mouth with water, has his snowy tuf5 of
cotton ready gummed, finds his bee, gently
drencae5 it with water spurted from his
mouth pick, it up while it is still indig
nantly shaking itself free from the water
which clogs Its wings, and with a dexterous
touch he affixes in an instant the telltale
cotton. Very much out of patience, no
doubt, with the sudden AMI unexpected
raimstorm the bea rub5 off the tiny drops
from its wings tries them, rubs again, and
soon--buzz! buzzl away it goes, uncon-
sciousy leading destruction and pillage to
its happy home

Hz CORRUPTED HIS MASTER.
The Old Family Colored Servant Who Ran
Away Every Autumn.


Away Every Autumn.
Southern Bivouac.l
a well -to-do old farmer, in one of the best
counties OF middle Tennessee, owned large
number Of slaves, ard among them an old
darkey about his own age, and whom he
had known all his life. In fact, he was one
of the "olI family negroes brought out
from Virginia. Old "Sam" was faithful,
docile creature, a great favorite with his
master, and q sort Of privileged character
on the plantation. The old fellow was in
dustrious ana exemplary in his behavior ali
the year round, except during the period
dating from the time when roasting ears
began To ripen and the earliest appearance
OF frost Sam was invariably seiZad at that
period with an invincible idea to run
away" II REQUIRED as regularly as a fit of
may fever was as incurable, and like that
unpleasant disorder could only be treated
by change Of air and locality
Sam, understanding this, preferred to
take bis case in his own hands and admins
ter the treatment in his own discretion Of
course, in such a case, the usual punishment
inflicted on runaway niggers" was not to
be thought Of Remonstrance was I'M
awaiting. Sam declared: He jes' couldn't
hep hi<sef," and it became q settled and
understood arrangement, that he should go,
and that the neighborhood should condone
his raids on corn fields and potato patches.
After many such escapades, his old master
asked him on one occasion, when the matter
was under discussion:
Sam do you really enjoy running away"
Decd, Marse john" said Sam, 81 does.
Hits de noas' fun in de wurl'. Coon huntin
amt no whars to hit"
"WeI, them" said Marse John, "just let
me know the next time you take a notion to
start, and I'll so with you, and try it a
while myself"
Sure enough, in due season Sam came up,
saying:
colo Marso, dc times mighty nigh when
'bleaged 70 lie cut. IF you guine wild me,
you better be getkn' ready, fer when de
time comes got to so quick"
"Old Marse" kept q bright look out and
when Sam started he was on hand.
They had a delightful time. They flshed
occasionally, caught 'po5sums, robbed orch
ards and watermelon and potato patches.
picked blackberTios for recreation, and
haunted the gTesnest and shadiest hooks of
Tie forest, ali Of which Sam know we'll.
"O!d Marc had never enjoyed a SUMMER
50 much. Il fact he was so much pleased
that regularly aftarwari Ee accompanied
Sam when the latter went into an annual
retreat. At length Sam died. The old
master grieved for him soreIy. He was sad
also over the reflection that his summer
pastima would in future be denied him.
But the amazeulont Of all his friends, and
not less his own, when TOasting-ear time
came again, the fit seized him as strong as
ever and he ran away by himself.
