starts, with a directness of course and a ra- j
niditv that makes one instinctively dodtre j
j -
Ids head to give him a free course, so dis
importinate seems the power evinced in his
activity to the diminutive size of the body
This little insect, noted for its industry, j
though dreaded for the virulence of its
sting, is the honey bee, which may be do
mesticated and cultivated until it can be
harmlessly handled, and the labor which it
seems to delight in performing unceasingly
in the blossom seasion, may have its rich
results transferred by man to his own ben
efit. All that is required is to know how
to do it, and this knowledge, fortunately,
is easily acquired by the study of the hab
its and the peculiarities of the insect, so us
to know practically how to manage it.
The Apiarian, or bee cultivator, is a man
ufacturer, though his productions may not
enter intothe calculationsof national wealth.
He is the proprietor of thousands of busy
workmen, who voluntarily perform labor
without asking a division of the profits in
wages. Ho takes their surplus as his own,
and thero are none to question his right
and he is able to do this through observa
tion of natural objects and patient investi
gation of the laws whioh control their life,
ilis business is an art, and he can impart
its principles to others till they become
equally as expert as hlsanrl It is now
fifteen years since Mr. Lanstroth, of
(ireenfield, Mass., first turned his nttcntiou
to the cultivation of bets. In the course
of his experiments he found that he could
dispense entirely with natural swarming,
nnd yet multiply colonies of bees with great,
er rapidity and certainty than by the com
mon methods. It is the quality of the bee,
as in men, of being exceedingly good-natured
after a meal, which enables one to cul
tivate It. The bee never volunteers an at
taok or acts on the offensive when filled
with honey; and when it intends to swarm
It fills its honey-bag to its utmost capucity.
Hecs cannot, under any circumstances, re
sist the temptation of sweetness, and a lit
tle sugar and wnter mollifies their wrath
and seduces them as surely as sweet words
poured into the unsuspecting ear of maid
enly affection.
A hive contains three kinds of beos the
queen, the drone and the worker. The
queen bee is the only perfeot female in the
hive and lays all the eggs, amounting to
two or three thousand per day during the
height of the season. Iiy a curious provi
sion of nature, though not peculiar to the
bee, the feoundition of the queen lasts for
hevcral years, or probably as long as she
lives. At least this is the prevailing opin
ion among the apiarians, though it is not
without its difficulties nnd its doubts. If
this fecundation is retarded, her eggs will
all produce drones. The queen bee is es
sential to the existence of the colony, and
when she is taken away there is as great
a commotion in the hive as in a nation when
It loses its reigning female sovereign. The
labor of the hive is abandoned or the work
of rearing a successor to the insect mon
aroh Is immediately oommenoed. The
drone is the male bee, and several hundreds
will be found in a hive. He is neco ssarv
to the propagation of the species, but adds
nothing to the accumulation of the stores
of honey. He goes forth filled nnd comes !
back empty, and like all such profitless i
,.-,m ..ir ... -'- . I
inv outvie an iiiiiiimiim eouimuuuv , is
driven out of the hive soon after the swarm-
The life of such an
idler fortunately lasts but three or four
months.
The. third kind of boe is the smallest in
size, the greatest in number and the most
useful in the hive. This boo is called the
worker, nnd is the common bee we see vis
iting the blossoms. It is an iniperfeotlv
developed female, incapable of breeding.
A good swarm will contain from fifteen to
twenty thousand of workers, which live .-ix
or seven months. The was with which the
bee builds its comb is a natural secretion
of the insect, and is, in the opinion of ex
perienced naturalists and apiarians, nut do
rived from the pollen of t lie flowers. It is
tin animal oil, sscretud from honey, and
iweniy pounos oi uonoy are required to be 1
consumed to produce one pound of wax '
The building of the honeycomb is carried
on during the night and in bad weather, so :

which all the facts respecting the subject
desirable to be known are published. He
has invented the patent moveable comb bee
hive, which removes the main difficulties
attending the bee keeper, gives him the
control over the combs, and enables him to
take them out at pleasure, without injuring
or killing the bee, and the comb may be re
turned to the bee to be refilled. Iiy this j
invention the management ot the bee is so
simplified, that hives may be placed in gen

WASHINGTON AND A CORPORAL.
During the American Revolution, the
commander of a little squad was giving
orders to those under him, relative to a log
of timber which they were endeavoring to
raise up to the top of some military works
they were repairing. The timber went up
with difficulty, and on this account, the
voice of the little great man, was often
heard, in regular vociferations of "Heave
way ! there she goes ! heave ho !" An of
ficer, not in the military costume, was pass
ing, and asked the commander why he did
not take hold and render a little aid. The lat
ter, astonished, turning round with all the
pomp of an emperor, said, '8ir. I am a corpor
al V "You are, are you ?" replied the officer,
"I was not aware of that ;" and taking off
his bat and bowing, the officer said, "I ask
your pardon, Mr. Corporal," and then dis
mounted, and lifted till the sweat stood in
drops on 1 is forehead. When the work
was finished, turning to the commander, he
said, "Mr. Corporal, when you have anoth
er such job, and have not men enough,
send for your commander-in-chief, and I
will come and help yon a second time."
The Corporal was thunderstruck ! It was
Washington who thus addressed him!

Sulphur and Chalybeate Springs,
JftrjLKEJ COUJTTIT, JT. C.
THESE Springs are 16 miles north of Mor
ganton, N. Carolina, located in a beautiful
DlOIIMtHiu Jove, and surrounded with
magnificent Scenery. From this point the eel
ebrated Tahle Rock, the Linnville Falls,
i n.,.n mhur ..irtrwsities. are of easy ac
cess, and make, to and fro, an easy and pleasant
day's recreation, and change of scenery, calcu
lated not only to gratify but invigorate the inva
lid, as well as those who seek pleasure among the
mountains, during the season of oppressive heat,
and a retreat from the disease so common to fe
brile regions.
The superiority of these Waters bas been snl
ficieutly tried to prove their efficacy, and many
broken-down, and almost wasted invalids, have
been fully restored to health by their use.
The waters have been analyzed by Dr. Hap
poldt, of Morganton, and other Physicians, who
are ready to bear testimony to their efficacy in
certain disorders. Those wishing to visit these
Springs, by calling on Dr. Happoldt, at the
"Mountain Hotel," will obtain all the informa
tion desired, as regards their curative effects and
application to certain forms of disease.
The Proprietor, in order that the Patrons of his
Springs may have their stay rendered desirable
and comfortable, bas secured the services of Mrs.
PRESNELL, a lady who bas had considerable
experience and enjoys a high reputation in public
house keeping. He therefore promises that his
Table shall be furnished with the best the coun
try affords, and served up in a manner to please
the most fastidious. Nothing shall be wanting to
make every department adequate to the wishes
and wants of those who honor him with their
company.
