A BONNIE BRIDE.
Written TO Miss Dora Dee Plummer, on her
bridal day, by an old friend.

Dear Dora Dee adieu, adieui
May heavens blessings follow you
And stronger than the tides that sweep
Ger Southern sands from Southern deep
May faith, unfailing more and more,
Still bear you toward the shining shorei
Dear Dora De9, gloom will rest
On hearth and heart your presence blest
AT noon or night viii miss thy spell
OF voice and smile we love so well,
And Oft our hearts will sigh to see
Our dearest, darling Dora Dee.
Beside your home, in the sunset glow,
st. Johns shall roll serene and slow,
And on his banks thousand blooms Il
Shall breathe for you their sweet perfumes,
But In that sunny cline there1l be
No flower so sweet as Dora Dee.
And you shall watch the sea bird lave
Her pinions in the placid wave;
And in the gloam the surf shall beat
Its mournful music at your feet;
And fairer skies shall bend their blue,
And other friends will comfort you,
But Dora Dee, on shore or sea,
Wen ne'er forget our Dora Dee,
But eal tn and sky shall fade as now
The bridal wreath that binds your brow,
And one by one the loved bepart,
While shadows deepen DER your heart;
But broader, brighter through the gloom
Win shine the light beyond the tomb;
And on that shining shore we'll see
Our dear, our glorious, Dora Dee.

The moth is the color Of old wood, and
the wings cross one another, turning up
like the tail Of fowl. it may be seen
lurking around hives In the evening, try
ing to gain admittance. Where fowls have
the run Of an apiray they catch many Of
these moths on the wing. Persons speak
Of moths running out bees 1t would be
as proper to say that weeds ran out corn.
If from any cause, such IS queenlessness,
q colony becomes extinct, or nearly so,
the moth enters and takes possession, and
it is mistaken idea to attribute the de-
struction Of the bees to the moth.
Comb in frames can be kept over the
Summer free from the depredatiOns Of the
Larvae Of the bee moth if they are suspen-
ded in the light and air and are three or
four inches apart. Moths love darkness
and uncleanliness, and deposit their eggs
in cracks and cTevices about hives where
bees cannot gain access to them.

The Size OF Trees.

The diameter of trees is said TO vary
not only from summer to winter, but
from day to day. They are larger from
noon to. twilight the next morning than
from tWilight until noon; they are small
er In the winter than IN summer. Water
and the sap Of trees expand not only in
proportion as they rise above, but also
as they 90 below the freezing point. Low
temperature as well as high promotes
evaporation, and the trees eVapOrate from
their branches In winter, and so the
colder the weather the more theyshrink.
