to the prcserva__tiun oftlie bees f.ium that ile-

which it is believed has never b-_-fore been fully
accoinplislicd. It is cotiiposed uf's'everal stilli-

nutiiber of which the bees may be confined at
pleasure, and on either bccotiiiiig filled with
honey it can be taken out and the honey rciiiov
ed wiiliotii irjtiiy to or from the bees. Tlic
conipartriienis are nintle wiili oblique bottoms
with an appcrture ranging through each from
the top to the bottom. This leaves-nu lodgeriient
for the worm except a receptacle at the bottom
which is fill:-d with aslies. which in a short. time
dcprivcs him of life. This hive is believed to
be superior to any other which has been intro-
duced, arid is sold at the low price of $4 for an
indivitltial right and liive.
The best evidence ofllie merits of the hive
is the general appruliation which it meets with
wherever iiiirotliiced. During the short time

Tlien it was said (said Lord Brougham)

this was said to be a compromising act. But
his was after the negotiatioii was over; this
was ‘the song of triuinpli,’ to use an express-

there was no liusini-ss to be transacted, but

“I feel it a great loss,” replied B— ,
“but my time is not my own. and I cannot

man. and he thought as he left--1 wonder
how long before B expects a partner-
ship to reward his diligence. But he was
a kind man. and the thought followed —\ve

The partnership was attaincd,& B— admit.-

entirely under the control ofothers. But was
his time less valuable when then the interests

was a subordinate. serving for a scanty sala-
ry ? His time was his capital, and every
minute could be coined into cents and dollars,
coiild he take his precious material,and em-
ploy it in efforts for the advancement of the
Redeemer’s kingdom ? Oh no, he would
not convert it into money, and if he could.
he would spare a part ofthe money for the
service of God. And then he had a vague.
and indefinite notion. that alter he acquired
a contpctence, at. some future day. darkly
and dimly seen in the long vista of common
years, he should more entirely consecrate
himself and his personal cflbrts. But as he
gathered riches, it was astonishing even
to himself, how little, how very little it was
possible to spare for objects of piety or he-
nevolence. It seemed as if the great object
of life, was to acquire prope-rty—the natural
and proper use of money was to increase it-
self-—and every judicious and profitable in-
vestment of his funds opened the way for
another and another; and he never so needed
every cent while as it was rapidly accumu-
lating.

On coming to his home B found two
_(_Tt‘l)ll€nt8l'l evidently cletgyinvn, on the steps
ofthe house, and his wile standing in the
door. B felt a pang at his heart and
almost invnliititiirily put his hand upon his
pockets. O! ivhat was so unpleasant as the
face of an agint for some religious or
be-nevolt-nt effort .7 But he shook hands po-
litely with them, and as his wife reinarke.-d
they had been waiting some time, he

of that sin, which, as a canker, was destroy-

quick eye detected ZICOIISCIOUSIIPSS in the face
of his pastor. But the unconscious stranger
still pursued the theme, until an awkward
silence ensued. And then the stranger told
his e-rrzinrl. He solicit.-d aid for a feeble
church. His application was promptly, al-
most roughly rclust-d. The usual chitncsol
hard tirm-s—-no money, were wrong, and lit‘

been entrusted-—btit to your own master you
must render your account. May he guide

This was after the whole of the military

My lords (said the noble and learned lord)
I breathe the same prayer which my late
sovereign expressed upon that rrieinorable
occasion. I hope and trust, for the sake of
America first--for the sake of England next
——for the sake of humanity, of mankind at
lzirge——that the prosperity and happiness of
that great people will be perpetuated forever.
My lords, Icannot view with indifference

have erected in that land : and my heart now
glows when 1 reflnct that to England is ow-
ing that which America never scritplcs to

liberty, of religious as well as civil liberty,
which has made the American republic the
greatest democratic nation that 0Vcl' held ex-
istence upon the fice of this earth. Con-
templatcd in itself, there is cnoug. to fill
one with admiration, with hope, with exuIta-
tion; but in order to appreciate its merits
and to carry those feelings to their utmost
it is necessarv that we compare and contrast
it with what has h ippcned elsewhere, in oth-
er parts of the new world, where all the gifts
of Nature were not attended with the bless-
ings ol social existence. Look tit South A-
merica; look at the events which have sep-
arated the Spanish colonies from the parent
State ; contemplate for a moment the rich
abundance of natural blessings, of physical
resources, ofaniinal power, of all that can
make a people great and prosperous and pow-
erful--abovc all; the gifts that ought to
make them thankful t_o heaven-—peaceln] and

expanse of space diversified with every gpe-
cics of soil whichican pour into their lapthe
produce of industry or scent the air with pet'-
fumes, or enrich man by the wealth, the pro-
verbial arid unsurpassed wealth of their
minerals: every diversity of the most deli-
