The crj of the slate came to my youthful ear, wafted by the eloquent breath of eye-witnesses, from Virginia and New Jersey. At most every man at the South, at that time, ad- :. .v. ? . .:t 1 . nd politioal; the horrors of. the middle passage, the barbarian craehiea of Jamaica, came to as across tae.ocean; wiioertorce ana uurkson bad acquired a world wide fame by their singular devotion to the abolition of the slave- trade; tae aa- alt was aooa made . up.a slavery itself in the Britiah West Indiei, and the first of August, ltfltf, wna entered ta the calendar as one of the holy day of the year. - - ' ' - Campbell painted the wild chieftain, on hta native plains, a noble, ao free, so happy caught, chaiued, doomed, suffering, till the harricuaea ia the Tt tadieevero eommlasiooed to avenge bis wrongs. The plaintive Cowper wept out his couapasaiou ia the touching lines, "I would not bare a alavefor all the gold that sinews bought and sold have ever earned;" and these tones of suffering, . of eompaattoo, of pity, were echoed by . every harp, and re-echoed- by. orator and pTeacher, till the whole atmosphere of New Khj-laud was vocal with the cries of the slave. I hive done my full share of it : hut greater men have been mistaken, and have in riper years been compelled to rcvie aud revoke the opinions uf vtvincrt U.J..

I am compelled to cancel many things that I have said on the subject of slavery, and ; substitute for them the Opintous of riier'age. 1 might her ooce said what, or nearly- what, you have said in your late speech in Congress; though " I think I should have left out those portions which aervo no other end than simply to irritate, without convincing.

The Bible calls bias a 'just man, and perfect in his generation', and yet because be, by Divine inspf ration' and by Di vine command, foretold the slavery of the child ren of, II am, you give him some very bard thrusts and leave him on the pages of your speech with a character by no means so fair as that girea him by the sacred historian. Was Noah ia the way of your theory, that yoa strike at bin so rigorously, as thoogk yoa would bew bim down? You say be mistook Canaaa for ilam. Sappose be did, the prediction and the curse rest tome-where 00 some taatloev Tie principle is the same ia the Divine administration. Wbo are the children of Canaan? Tradition and history unite ia the belief that they iahabit the eonU'nent of Africa. Their condition fulSSs, with remarkable fidelity, the prophecy of that "righteous man and preacher of righteousness," Noah. A eer vant of serranu wee the double corse, wbtcb baa rested oa that cos tioent and race for cnany cen turies. It ia covered with a net-work of double slavery every chief having bis retinue of slaves, while be pa ye tribute to some higher chief or pet ty king. ' ' , ." I ou aeeca to lay great stress upon the fact that the Canaan ites were not black. How do yow koow?t Dr. Tnompson, who has written, perhaps, the most thorough work oa Syria ana Palestine that bas ever been published, aaya the ancient in- babitaau of that country came from Africa The great painting of Samsoa grinding ia the mill shows his Philistine drivers very dark, if not black. -But you miss the point of the Scriptural precedent and example for elerery. Yet f rove, as yoe tbiak.tbat th Caoaarutes were act Uack, and tbea jamp at ooce to the cooclasioa that, if tbey were not black, tbey mutt have been enslav-because they were laboring men. This does very wtU to stir up prejudice at the Korth; bat b it the truth? 1 be Israelites were prmiU 1 to ea .slave the Catteeeites not because they were'la-boring men. bat because they we're keaihen. and therebr ao degraded that a transfer to the Hebrew Commonwealth where the true God was; worshiped, was a privilege and a blwssingV: This funtiahes the parallel point on which A merican ataveholders rely with. great confidence. The Africans were taken from the moat degraded heatheuvsm, and are bere tanghl to worship the true God; and, ia the1 opinioa "of every' Bible man, more of them have been fitted fur aud gone tor .heaven from the thousands in America than from the millions of Africa. Dr. Dwight said after long experience and wide observation that be never knew but one lazy tnau converted. And es Ood had some choaeo people in Africa, it was necessary that tbey should : be taught to work in order to their conversion. But ia the South they are not allowed to read the Bible-Well, in Africa, they neither read it, bear of it nor from it. Faith cpmeth by bearing: and Is it not better to bear the truth than to live entirely destitute of it? . ' " ' " You quote tbe eigbtb eommandment as a prohibition of slavery. This Is singular. Were your ancestors thieves? Tbey brought, or assented to the bringing of slew to this country. It is a siogular fact, that while w boast of oar Puritan anceatry, tbe law of the present day would bang half the men that lived a hundred years ago, as engeged ia tbe slave traffie, directly or indirectly; and another law would imprison all the men who lived forty years since. The eighth commandment was given on the way out of the Hebrew nation. All tbeir other laws were controlled by the Decalogue. Well, now what? Wby, tbey bad slaves by Divine permission under this charter. How could they, if the eighth commandment forbids it? But are the slaves stolen? Certainly not by Americans. Tbey boy them, pay for them, transfer them, and provide lor then, ia tbe only and most benevolent manner in which it eaa "be done. As to the metaphysical abstractioa, that man cannot have property in man, it baa been contradicted from tbe foundation of tbe world to tie present time. Holding, ese, and transfer, are tbe elements of property; and this bas been done by men to men in all ages; and yet yoo ray that there ia no word in tbe good old Hebrew tongue that conveys the idee, of property fa man. When a master iaad vertenlly killed hie slave, no blood was to be shed forMst0oAu money.9 Does not tbat mean properly? - .

Why not? Why should one quartet of tbe globe, one section of the bemaa family do notbiag for tbe race? If Han will not bring timber for tbe ark, Sheet and Japheth will drive him to it. " - ' . Bat Africa U not only a great wilderness of loungers, but of this idleness grow all manner of vices. Work is salvation. Work regenerates tbe eartb and man. . Work ia progress, and without it nothing. Tbe title deed of tbe eartb to man bad this proviso; that be should sabdue b end multiply upon it. Now, if be only mailt-plies and does not subdue, be bas onljnoqnater tovcreignty no certified title till be beUde bis house and tills bia farm. Heace the India mast be driven out; he will not work on an v con dition, aeiiher self-moved aor driven bv the hand of another, and, therefore, the last tomahawk of tbe red man will soon bang as a trophy ia tbe balls .of the eonqueror. Now, the African works patiSnlly and well when driven to it; he will work on no other eonditioa.. Ilts climate is a terribto protection from white invasion, therefore be must be transported and taught to work, thereby civilised, thereby christianized, thereby improved every way, end perbape bynnd-bye sent lck to yoke op and subdue his whole eon tiacii accordifig ta tbe pattern that bas been s wn blot la this working bee-hive of Ameriea. '.on touch in no' very fraternal manner some, of the social vices of your brethren at the South. Perhaps if they deserved the stone, it should hardly come front n northern hand; the garments of our cities, are dripping with tbe water) of Sodom, and some of tbe Western States tuu der tbe marriage covenant with as tiule Consid-eratioa ae the moat ruthlcs slaveholder. 8eu-auality is not at this hour producing as much so cial degradation nor d-etnyinr as many lives at the South as at the Norte; but thu ts aot the point. What were the ' blacka eiaHy when fa-ken from Africa? The King of Dabomy baa four hundred wives, whom be employs in carrv-ing palm oil to the. coast, and thence hew mm and tobacco be k to the palace for their husband aad kine. This rum and. tobacco are tbe joiut productions of slavery, and freedom. . Slavery produces the tobacco and molase,and theo we Yatikees make the rum and send ibem both in bur vessels to the coast of African to buy oil gathered by woman and carried on their heads in jars from fifty to two haodtvd .miles. r-They are drive along by a hfrd of lazy men, and stepping carefully every miuute under the express condition that if one pot of oil is spilled, one heed of a woman and a wife must be cat vff to atone for it. :;;';V:;. Nor, is it any great sin to catch a set of these lazy fellows, that live on the earnings of their wives, learn them to work, teach them to love owe another and to love tbeir children, eo that their highest ambition shall no longer be to buy an extra number of wives that they may have a few "pickaninnies" (children) to sell? A wild African recently brought to Boston by a merchant begged for an old gun which be saw. When asked what . be wanted of it, he replied, "to buy a wife aad have pickaninnies to sell. Is it any harm to yoke up eucb men, nnd work the laziness and the brutality oat of them? Yea, but yon say there ia a better way to do ftjU. There may be, but it wanta the evidence of a successful experiment, Tbe Moravians once kindled their altera of devotion all around the African coast, but tbe waves of barbarian have extinguished there, Jamaica, in spite of devoted missionaries, British philanthropy, and American sympathy is fast receding through idleness to barbarism. Half a million ot people there in twenty years have not lifted as many spades of earth as twenty thousand Yankees in California in one-third of tbe time. If this half million bad tbe twenty thousand to lead them and guide them, and plan for them, then that island which was once a fruitful field, would not be go ing back to a wilderness. The best thing that could be done for Africa, if they could live there, would be to send them a hundred thousand American slaveholders, to work them np to some degree of civilisation. It is charged that the life of the slave at the South is sometimes at tbe mercy of the master. In Africa the immediate , body servants of every chief at bis death, are at once beheaded and hue ried forward to attend the new wants of their old master. Is it wicked to buy these devoted victims of heathenism end put them ondor the protection of civilized, and often of Christian master? Justin proportion , as the priee of these slaves is raised ia Africa, jaat to that di gree is there a motive to the heirs to spamtheir Uvea, So far as Africa Js concerned, the slave trade eras and ia humane in its operation; ha abolition was the result of sentiment, and not the determination of calm and deliberate atae-manship.

I will give you the name of one man in Springdale township, Joseph Townsori, a sworn Jartice of tbe Peace, wbo does not sspport tbe Constitution of tie United States, aor the State of lows, but is a consummate villain.

Bat we are not sarprised when we see the Black Republicans, everywhere, opposed to the Democratic party. This is tbe state of affairs at present, respecting Brown and the tories, and if any , of the opposite party deny what 1 have written, I caa get the signatures of more than fifty good men to substantiate rhei I say of this tory hole.

Uy respects to aU, Yours truly; D. E. A. tTrittea for the IO. Veraoa Eaaser. Ma. L. usaru Dear Sir: As many of the readers of your valuable paper are no doubt in tercet ed in bee ,eu tore, I will state a few facts wbicb have eome- to my notice, which mar be valeable to them. During the winter months ia this latitade bees for the most part remain com perecively quiet, and the more so. they remain the less honey lhey. cousumej ot course andr such circumstances few if nny eggs are laid. by the Queen, end there beiny; few young beet reared, bat little boney is consumed. But tie receut warm weather has aroused them from this quiet condition, tiey are busy cleaning out tbeir hives, and carrying in the liule pollen tiey are able to find, and if we .takf a peep Inside ws find the Queen bas already laid quite a number of eggs. aad the young are in some hives already emerg ing from their cells.' Not only do the young re quire a targe quantity of honey lo sapply their wants, bet the old, being sow ia active exeioise, consume it much more rapidly.' There is as yet but tittle of It to he bad by them, from any of tbe ordinary sources, and such of them as bava not ample supplies must suffer;' and shonld a cold wet spetl'set tn, many would perish, as was the case last spring. Bat should they not actu ally perish, a short sapply of boney at this season checss and keeps back the rearing of the young, and often prevents swarming, or makes it so lots that the new swarms are of little value. All swarms that have not a good supply of boney at this season, should be fed regular?;, nnd but lUtUaia time. If too much is given at once they use it in baiUieg new comb, or ftors it io cells which should be left empty to receive the 'ggs. ; If not given regularly, they, may suffer for want of it, as that already given will have stimulated them to io crease the rearing of the young, and their supplies being suddenly cat oj or consumed, tbe young perish. In feeding great care should be taken that the feed is not exposed, or accessible to other bee a, than those fur which it is tntendsd, as this is a season at which tbey are ' prone to rob, and the smell of honey or teed will attract the bees frop other Lives, even at a distance, and they, finding the fed swarm ia a feeble condition, soon make it a prey to their avarice. Success (a one in. stance,' on tistr part, begets ' a ihirtt for its rt petition, end it is then stUI core dicall to prevent it, nnd Sa that way It soneUaes occurs tint a coiuUratIe naraiir ere rclbel, ead'a gTrat nary bees Lillet, tt a tcisca .aiea it Is a'4 ic portent to bava tia tvira ia good condi Jon.

Would it not to well for , for v time, to look toore et oar own failing And at the Tirtaea of oar brethren at the Sooth? Too speak of th change of lona and aenti- toeot that has taken place daring the last twenty fiejear on the subject of alarerj. I plead sjailtr to tae trata of thte charge. , It waa one of the dreams of eaj early life, that the condition of mankind tmght be jrreatlf improved bj sadden political changes. The crj of the slate came to my youthful ear, wafted by the eloquent breath of eye-witnesses, from Virginia and New Jersey. At most every man at the South, at that time, ad- :. .v. ? . .:t 1 . nd politioal; the horrors of. the middle passage, the barbarian craehiea of Jamaica, came to as across tae.ocean; wiioertorce ana uurkson bad acquired a world wide fame by their singular devotion to the abolition of the slave- trade; tae aa- alt was aooa made . up.a slavery itself in the Britiah West Indiei, and the first of August, ltfltf, wna entered ta the calendar as one of the holy day of the year. - - ' ' - Campbell painted the wild chieftain, on hta native plains, a noble, ao free, so happy caught, chaiued, doomed, suffering, till the harricuaea ia the Tt tadieevero eommlasiooed to avenge bis wrongs. The plaintive Cowper wept out his couapasaiou ia the touching lines, "I would not bare a alavefor all the gold that sinews bought and sold have ever earned;" and these tones of suffering, . of eompaattoo, of pity, were echoed by . every harp, and re-echoed- by. orator and pTeacher, till the whole atmosphere of New Khj-laud was vocal with the cries of the slave. I hive done my full share of it : hut greater men have been mistaken, and have in riper years been compelled to rcvie aud revoke the opinions uf vtvincrt U.J.. V1K.V WH Ct1TInUKU Willi the voice of liiberty, as she cried Train aeroas the ohannel but iu the lull ireujrth of bia manhood he was compelled to denounce the Crimea core-initted iu nftr name. Sir James Mcintosh wrute his rViudicial Gallice;' but was compelled, by a loner experience and a wider observation, to years. I am compelled to cancel many things that I have said on the subject of slavery, and ; substitute for them the Opintous of riier'age. 1 might her ooce said what, or nearly- what, you have said in your late speech in Congress; though " I think I should have left out those portions which aervo no other end than simply to irritate, without convincing. But my convict ion a at the preaent time are, not only that the slaveholders have a complete vindication of their preaent po- itian hat thav aifltst s k liubt n- benefactors to the country and tothe human race. - "- tV .J " " a i i a ' ' '" ' i ' '-'m tneooiy groaon on wntcn 1 can claim t&eir patience and forbearance) toward ua meddling with thir affairs, and for abusing, them as much as we have, and a some still continue to do, ia this thet gavf as the false premises oa which we reaaoned correctly to false cooclusiona. Tbey gve away their case bj concession ; for if slavery b a wrong, a sin, a wrong, or an evil, no ,tair miud caa resist th eondasioo that efforts ought to be made as soon as possible) to doit away. This philosophy, that slavery U wrong, sprang up ia Virginia, and was adopted and encouraged ia nearly all the slave States; and the seed was thence, ia connexion with iha correct and grand principles of hamaa government, scat tered wide over the free States. : Thy have had their growth, and now it is not a Utile diEScalt to pull them up; bat they shall take the wheat with . ibera also. - ' .. ' The Sooth are impregnable,.. The constitution protects them, the Bible protects them, and the experience of maokiod protects them. Our fathers made a covenant with their fathers. They ame into the Uaioa witk tkeie African slaves on terms of ei'ality with ui, and i with all the rights and privilege, that We caa claim ender the same insUumenL They would make no cove . aant except opbo term of f jtality, ' We accep. ted those terms) we could get do . better to-day ; and yet we ehoal j be glad to make It, if , it were not made, or t reatv it, if broken, anal on the eame coadlUon ttre bow have. - The Soatk claim ihe rUrkt to fo into, caw irrI;ory,'and try ihe new land eitk their f hrss, CI tie Urriwry becomes sovereign Sut3, ao trala'taliu will, as b-. fore all other . tavers'ios:'..

The Bible calls bias a 'just man, and perfect in his generation', and yet because be, by Divine inspf ration' and by Di vine command, foretold the slavery of the child ren of, II am, you give him some very bard thrusts and leave him on the pages of your speech with a character by no means so fair as that girea him by the sacred historian. Was Noah ia the way of your theory, that yoa strike at bin so rigorously, as thoogk yoa would bew bim down? You say be mistook Canaaa for ilam. Sappose be did, the prediction and the curse rest tome-where 00 some taatloev Tie principle is the same ia the Divine administration. Wbo are the children of Canaan? Tradition and history unite ia the belief that they iahabit the eonU'nent of Africa. Their condition fulSSs, with remarkable fidelity, the prophecy of that "righteous man and preacher of righteousness," Noah. A eer vant of serranu wee the double corse, wbtcb baa rested oa that cos tioent and race for cnany cen turies. It ia covered with a net-work of double slavery every chief having bis retinue of slaves, while be pa ye tribute to some higher chief or pet ty king. ' ' , ." I ou aeeca to lay great stress upon the fact that the Canaan ites were not black. How do yow koow?t Dr. Tnompson, who has written, perhaps, the most thorough work oa Syria ana Palestine that bas ever been published, aaya the ancient in- babitaau of that country came from Africa The great painting of Samsoa grinding ia the mill shows his Philistine drivers very dark, if not black. -But you miss the point of the Scriptural precedent and example for elerery. Yet f rove, as yoe tbiak.tbat th Caoaarutes were act Uack, and tbea jamp at ooce to the cooclasioa that, if tbey were not black, tbey mutt have been enslav-because they were laboring men. This does very wtU to stir up prejudice at the Korth; bat b it the truth? 1 be Israelites were prmiU 1 to ea .slave the Catteeeites not because they were'la-boring men. bat because they we're keaihen. and therebr ao degraded that a transfer to the Hebrew Commonwealth where the true God was; worshiped, was a privilege and a blwssingV: This funtiahes the parallel point on which A merican ataveholders rely with. great confidence. The Africans were taken from the moat degraded heatheuvsm, and are bere tanghl to worship the true God; and, ia the1 opinioa "of every' Bible man, more of them have been fitted fur aud gone tor .heaven from the thousands in America than from the millions of Africa. Dr. Dwight said after long experience and wide observation that be never knew but one lazy tnau converted. And es Ood had some choaeo people in Africa, it was necessary that tbey should : be taught to work in order to their conversion. But ia the South they are not allowed to read the Bible-Well, in Africa, they neither read it, bear of it nor from it. Faith cpmeth by bearing: and Is it not better to bear the truth than to live entirely destitute of it? . ' " ' " You quote tbe eigbtb eommandment as a prohibition of slavery. This Is singular. Were your ancestors thieves? Tbey brought, or assented to the bringing of slew to this country. It is a siogular fact, that while w boast of oar Puritan anceatry, tbe law of the present day would bang half the men that lived a hundred years ago, as engeged ia tbe slave traffie, directly or indirectly; and another law would imprison all the men who lived forty years since. The eighth commandment was given on the way out of the Hebrew nation. All tbeir other laws were controlled by the Decalogue. Well, now what? Wby, tbey bad slaves by Divine permission under this charter. How could they, if the eighth commandment forbids it? But are the slaves stolen? Certainly not by Americans. Tbey boy them, pay for them, transfer them, and provide lor then, ia tbe only and most benevolent manner in which it eaa "be done. As to the metaphysical abstractioa, that man cannot have property in man, it baa been contradicted from tbe foundation of tbe world to tie present time. Holding, ese, and transfer, are tbe elements of property; and this bas been done by men to men in all ages; and yet yoo ray that there ia no word in tbe good old Hebrew tongue that conveys the idee, of property fa man. When a master iaad vertenlly killed hie slave, no blood was to be shed forMst0oAu money.9 Does not tbat mean properly? - . It cauuot be denied that tbe Idea of slavery runs all through the Bible; ; it was stamped epon the entire history of the Jewish nation, end upon the biatory of every yigoroos nation upmthe face of lie earthj indeed, I etooaxl v etunect tbis U the awmal eonditioa of large iortJont of de pravea race an 1 caa readily believe that a ai l" relation of aUvtVolder. io a.! good conscience, and eUb tbe entire Divine approbatioa. rere on xisiZU footprint J aitapprcpaium ej tu abolitionism of tkia eouoiry.- Lo at tie fiocke W andean Waste and bitds h at, bave come ep out of. it train- laCz' li l ; cursa Cod, abase every "man of EoodV- - V tbea;pte"kumanitv in ger:ralj-; - !a.-.ea tUir. taiIiy an J blaspheaay.

Bat Africa U not only a great wilderness of loungers, but of this idleness grow all manner of vices. Work is salvation. Work regenerates tbe eartb and man. . Work ia progress, and without it nothing.

Heace the India mast be driven out; he will not work on an v con dition, aeiiher self-moved aor driven bv the hand of another, and, therefore, the last tomahawk of tbe red man will soon bang as a trophy ia tbe balls .of the eonqueror. Now, the African works patiSnlly and well when driven to it; he will work on no other eonditioa.. Ilts climate is a terribto protection from white invasion, therefore be must be transported and taught to work, thereby civilised, thereby christianized, thereby improved every way, end perbape bynnd-bye sent lck to yoke op and subdue his whole eon tiacii accordifig ta tbe pattern that bas been s wn blot la this working bee-hive of Ameriea. '.on touch in no' very fraternal manner some, of the social vices of your brethren at the South. Perhaps if they deserved the stone, it should hardly come front n northern hand; the garments of our cities, are dripping with tbe water) of Sodom, and some of tbe Western States tuu der tbe marriage covenant with as tiule Consid-eratioa ae the moat ruthlcs slaveholder. 8eu-auality is not at this hour producing as much so cial degradation nor d-etnyinr as many lives at the South as at the Norte; but thu ts aot the point. What were the ' blacka eiaHy when fa-ken from Africa? The King of Dabomy baa four hundred wives, whom be employs in carrv-ing palm oil to the. coast, and thence hew mm and tobacco be k to the palace for their husband aad kine. This rum and. tobacco are tbe joiut productions of slavery, and freedom. . Slavery produces the tobacco and molase,and theo we Yatikees make the rum and send ibem both in bur vessels to the coast of African to buy oil gathered by woman and carried on their heads in jars from fifty to two haodtvd .miles. r-They are drive along by a hfrd of lazy men, and stepping carefully every miuute under the express condition that if one pot of oil is spilled, one heed of a woman and a wife must be cat vff to atone for it. :;;';V:;. Nor, is it any great sin to catch a set of these lazy fellows, that live on the earnings of their wives, learn them to work, teach them to love owe another and to love tbeir children, eo that their highest ambition shall no longer be to buy an extra number of wives that they may have a few "pickaninnies" (children) to sell? A wild African recently brought to Boston by a merchant begged for an old gun which be saw. When asked what . be wanted of it, he replied, "to buy a wife aad have pickaninnies to sell. Is it any harm to yoke up eucb men, nnd work the laziness and the brutality oat of them? Yea, but yon say there ia a better way to do ftjU. There may be, but it wanta the evidence of a successful experiment, Tbe Moravians once kindled their altera of devotion all around the African coast, but tbe waves of barbarian have extinguished there, Jamaica, in spite of devoted missionaries, British philanthropy, and American sympathy is fast receding through idleness to barbarism. Half a million ot people there in twenty years have not lifted as many spades of earth as twenty thousand Yankees in California in one-third of tbe time. If this half million bad tbe twenty thousand to lead them and guide them, and plan for them, then that island which was once a fruitful field, would not be go ing back to a wilderness. The best thing that could be done for Africa, if they could live there, would be to send them a hundred thousand American slaveholders, to work them np to some degree of civilisation. It is charged that the life of the slave at the South is sometimes at tbe mercy of the master. In Africa the immediate , body servants of every chief at bis death, are at once beheaded and hue ried forward to attend the new wants of their old master. Is it wicked to buy these devoted victims of heathenism end put them ondor the protection of civilized, and often of Christian master? Justin proportion , as the priee of these slaves is raised ia Africa, jaat to that di gree is there a motive to the heirs to spamtheir Uvea, So far as Africa Js concerned, the slave trade eras and ia humane in its operation; ha abolition was the result of sentiment, and not the determination of calm and deliberate atae-manship.

L. usaru Dear Sir: As many of the readers of your valuable paper are no doubt in tercet ed in bee ,eu tore, I will state a few facts wbicb have eome- to my notice, which mar be valeable to them. During the winter months ia this latitade bees for the most part remain com perecively quiet, and the more so. they remain the less honey lhey. cousumej ot course andr such circumstances few if nny eggs are laid. by the Queen, end there beiny; few young beet reared, bat little boney is consumed. But tie receut warm weather has aroused them from this quiet condition, tiey are busy cleaning out tbeir hives, and carrying in the liule pollen tiey are able to find, and if we .takf a peep Inside ws find the Queen bas already laid quite a number of eggs. aad the young are in some hives already emerg ing from their cells.' Not only do the young re quire a targe quantity of honey lo sapply their wants, bet the old, being sow ia active exeioise, consume it much more rapidly.' There is as yet but tittle of It to he bad by them, from any of tbe ordinary sources, and such of them as bava not ample supplies must suffer;' and shonld a cold wet spetl'set tn, many would perish, as was the case last spring. Bat should they not actu ally perish, a short sapply of boney at this season checss and keeps back the rearing of the young, and often prevents swarming, or makes it so lots that the new swarms are of little value. All swarms that have not a good supply of boney at this season, should be fed regular?;, nnd but lUtUaia time. If too much is given at once they use it in baiUieg new comb, or ftors it io cells which should be left empty to receive the 'ggs. ; If not given regularly, they, may suffer for want of it, as that already given will have stimulated them to io crease the rearing of the young, and their supplies being suddenly cat oj or consumed, tbe young perish. In feeding great care should be taken that the feed is not exposed, or accessible to other bee a, than those fur which it is tntendsd, as this is a season at which tbey are ' prone to rob, and the smell of honey or teed will attract the bees frop other Lives, even at a distance, and they, finding the fed swarm ia a feeble condition, soon make it a prey to their avarice. Success (a one in. stance,' on tistr part, begets ' a ihirtt for its rt petition, end it is then stUI core dicall to prevent it, nnd Sa that way It soneUaes occurs tint a coiuUratIe naraiir ere rclbel, ead'a gTrat nary bees Lillet, tt a tcisca .aiea it Is a'4 ic portent to bava tia tvira ia good condi Jon.
