Professor Jaeger. referring to the pro-
nounced habits of industry born in the bee
and frequently alluded to in school books,
says: 1T is impossible for any rejecting
person to look ut beehive in full opera
ton without being astonished at the activ-
ity and surprising industry of its inhab-
itants. We SEQ crowds constantly arriving
from the woods. meadows. fields and gar
dens. laden with provisions and materials
for future use. while others are continually
flying Off on similar collecting expeditions.
Some are carrying out the dead, others are
removing dirt and offal. while others are
giving battle &c any strangers who may
dare TO ntrude. Suddenly cloud appears
and the bees hurry home. thronging the
entrance by thousands until all are gradu-
ally received within the inclosure. In tho
interior of the hive we see with what skill
they work their combs and deposit the
honey. and when their labor is over ior the
day they rest in chains suspended from the
ceiling OF their habitation, one bee cling

Newspaper paragraph
Alone, on the desolate shore she stands,
Serene, as the years drift by,
While drawn
As by dawn
To her outstretched hands
Her wild, winged worshipers fly.
The forms born to burrow or climb, or creep,
Are safe ON the earth, where they cling,
But they who dare,
Are OF space and air,
And starward must soar and sing.
They are thrilled and filled with fervor caught
From the infinite wind-swept main,
In their steadfast flight
Toward the binding light,
And their welcome is-death and pain.
Oh wings wings wings,
Striving through dark and rain,
Merely to droop in death at the end,
Has your struggle been all in vainp
Nay, call them not wasted, those visions bright
That inspired each tiny breast
With such keen delight
Through that weary flight,
Toward the Turing star of rest
No fate so tragic doth Wisdom teach
Upon Natures glowing page,
By symbol or speech,
For brave souls that reach
Toward light through each bitter age.
And true as the course OF tho rolling yoar
Is the song that yon sweet stars sing,
That Right groweth strong,
Der the black shade, Wrong,
As summer oertops the spring.
Then beat, beat, beat. brave hearts, through
Oppression s night,
While Liberty stands by the bleak sea sands.
Upholding her beacon light.

Too Slow.

The first electric telegraph was put
in operation between Baltimore and
Washington, in 1S45, Congress having
appropriated eight thousand dollars to
keep 1t running for one year, as an ex-
pertinent. OF the many amusing Incl
dents OF those early days, one of the
best is the following, which used to be
related by Professor Morse himself
A pretty little girl tripped into the
Washington Office, and after great
deal of hesitation and coloring, asked
how long it would take to send to Bal
timore.
Mr.. Morse looked at the pretty ques-
toner with much interest as he an
swered:
"One second"
"Oh, how delightful" !" exclaimed the
girl, her eyes glistening with rapture.
"One second only Here, send this
even quicker if you cam" and Mr..
Morse found in his hand a neatly
folded, gilt-edged note, the very per-
fume and shape of which told o volume
of love.
81 cannot send this uote," said Mr..
Morse; "it is impossible"

lam, and shall die if he doesn't know
in second that 1 forgive him--I

As Mr.. Morse still objected to send
ing the note, the girl asked:
"Will you send me on?"
Perhaps it would take your breath
away to travel forty miles all hour"
said clerk, trying not to smile.
"Oh, no, it won't-no, it won't, if it
carries me to William"
"You could go by train tomorrow.
But the cars are so slow"
Mr.. Morse now comprehended the
girls mistake, and attempted to ex-
plain the process of carrying words
along the wires.
The girl listened for few moments,
then rolled her burning note into
ball and thrust it into her pocket.
"It's too slow, too slow, and my heart
Twill break before William knows / for
give him; and you are cruel man,
Mr.. Morse, that you won't let me travel
by the telegraph to see William"
Il am very sorry"

Lincoln Neb., June 90, 1889.
Parties going to the Dakota HIST
Springs for pleasure or health can add
to the attractions there by purchasing
one OF more lots thai have just been
plated and put on the market. The
prospects are good that such invest
ments will prove profitable. Quito a
number of cottages are being built there
this year by people who make annual
trips to the place. One of Lincoln's
residents. who recently returned from
the Springs, purchased a site fo- Il cot
tagge and will erect q cottage thereupon
for his fasnily's future use. We UNI
derstand a building boom has been in
augurated in the place by the location
there Of South Dakotas' soldiers home
and NJ. L. College. Work is now in
progress on both buildings.
DExlsoN REvlEw.-Wc believe that
the Dakota Hot Springs will in time
| become renowned alike for the healing
influence of the waters and for the
beautiful and romantic scenery which
%eutices the tourist. The Soldiers Home
park, if properly laid out by q land
scape gardner, will be of the finest
and most noted N tile world. 1t con
tains a canyon of rare beauty, and with
rustic bridges and foot paths. it will be
a perfect paradise during the summer
and fall months. The air is invigor-
ating. laden with oxygen. and person.
ally we believe more i'll the air than
i'll the water cure. Ladies and gen
tlemen have travelled miles and up the
steep mountain sides supported by this
in%vigorating atmosphere, who would
not deem themselves able to walk a
mile upon the plains. AS these Hot
Springs + the only natural health
resort for Il circumference Of Ave hun
dred miles, hundreds of invalids will
seek restoration, especially from rheu.

road is completed from the main line
to the Springs, a distance Of about
fourteen miles. The journey in the
