The prospect of the crop of 1869 (

the Stato has used this year fully ten ,ij
time* us -much as tvor before. The <]
lateness of tho Spring has cut off a o
good deal of cotton in the mountain g
region and almost all the.corn on the a
cacoast. . It is to be observed here c
that these brnps thus shortened are a
the least important onos in their res- t
pecttfre YAgiOtis, because near the j
mouptaips very littlo cotton is raised, s
and near the bqji very little corn. In d
the interior or middle of the Stato fc
the cotton is the main' crop touchod
by the fro&t; and it is believed now
that the fertilisers will more than e
make up fqrthe domination caused by t
the froit,. and then about one-fourth t

Particulars of the Death of the Hon*
Henry J. Raymond.
The New York Evening Post of
Friday gives tho following account of
the circumstances attending tho death
of Mr. Raj'mond:
Mr. Raymond, accompanied by his
daughter, went to Greenwood Cemetery
yesterday afternoon for tho pur
pose or selecting a family plot. lie
intended to have the body of one of his
children who died a few weeks ago
removed from the vault and reintcrred.
lie returned to the Times office
about five o'clock, and remarked to
the associate editors that ho never
felt better in his life, except a slight
fceling of fatigue consequent upon his
long walk through the cemetery, lie
left the office about G o'clock and proceeded
to his residence in WestNinthatreet,
where ho remained until about
) o'clock to recover from the fatiguo
>f the afternoon. Mr. Raymond left
tho house about nino o'clock, remarkng
to members of his family that he
lad an appointment to attend a politcal
meeting, and left homo for that
purpose. He was seen shortly afterwards
walking up Broadway, and one
>r two friends who stood in front of
iVallaek's Theatre noticed his elastic
itep and general appcarancc of robust
lealth. After attending the meeting
tfr. Raymond returned to his rcsi
lencc about eleven o'clock, and as
loon as he bad closed the door after
iim ho fell heavily upon the floor.
Sone of the inmates of *lie house
icard the fall, however, having rctird
for the night, and not being aware
if his return. About three o'clock
his morning, one of Mr. Raymond's
hildrcn became restless, and upon beaming
fully aroused remarked that
he heard some person breathing
leavily. Tho persons in tho house
rero immediately awakened, and on
loscending to tho hallway Mr- Raymond
was found extended on the
oor-, entirely unconscious, but breatbig
heavily and apparently with great
lifficulty. He wan carried to his room
nd placed upon a bed and pl^-sicians
ent for with haste. Four physicians
arrived soon afterwards who examin:d
him and pronounced him beyond
II mcdical aid. They also declared |
he cause of his death to be apoplexy.
lr. Baymond lingered in an unconcious
stato until fiveo'clock, when he
ied, surrounded by the members of
lis family. He passed away apparenty
with but littlo pain.
The news of his death caused much
xcitemcnb and very general rogret
hrougliout the city. All the down
own hotels and newspaper offices dismayed
their flags at half-mast aB a

Starting an Apiary.
Some ono writes: "Why not toll
people who have never kept bees how
to start?"
This is what I have been doing for
tlio last fifteen years, and now there is
a class advanced to "Fourth Reader,"
and anxiously waiting for the "Fifth."
Thcso must be kept along, and at tho
samo time tho primary class duly
eared for. The first thing for begin* j
ners to do is, to procure some reliable !
work on tho natural history and
management of the beo, study it thorough!}*,
and corae to an understanding
if possible, of what a swarm of bees
will do under all cireumstanees.
Thcro is much spurious teaching and
miscrablo guess-work in instructions
concerning the apiary. The man who
writes without experience of his own,
giving only what others have Baid,
will copy an error as well as truth.?
Or sometimes a porson interest* d in
somo particular point in a bee-hivo
will so distort the truth that it is hardly
recognized. When a correct knowl- <
edge of tl'io fundamental principles of i
bee-keeping lias been acquired by
careful study, the next thing is to get
a hive or two of bees; if in movable i
combs, all the better. Obtain them, i
if possible, from some reliable person, l
one who knows what ho is selling,
and, at the same time, will not take
pay for a worthless article. Bees in j
the box hive are more uncertain than
other stock. No person can guarantee
tho future prosperity of any hive (
after it passes beyond his control. In ,
purchasing stocks, reject the very (
heavy and very light, A large num- j
bcr of bees is more desirable than j
heavy stores?especially at this season .
of the year, Locate them on the t
summer stand at once. If moved af- t
terward, let it bo fv.r two or three ,
miles. Moving short distances in the .
apiary is bad. Placo the stands six t
to ten feet apart. Recent observa- t
tions in regard to the spread of dis- f
eased brood dictates a greater distanco (
between stands than formerly recom- t
mended. Provido hives for the swarms, ,
and if you have not already movable ,
combs, with proper study you should t
by this time bo sufficiently well in- f
formed to doeire them iu so<no form. |
I will not now recapitulate the advan- t
tages of movable combs, nor describe ]
the method of transfering combs, but t
will say it is a paying investment as *
soon as the advantages are compre- t
hended. That the tyro may have '
confidence in his operations among J
the bees, he may want to keep them i
from his face and hands?from his face j
by a bee-veil, nuch as described in
"Bee-keeping," page 227; from his
hands by thick woolen or ruber gloves.
Any one who expects to do much
among bees should learn to handle ^
tilings "'without mittens," until he
finds out that a bee-sting is not "kil- .
ling." After preparing a veil accor- ,

and insert this tube in the wire-cloth

Summer Drink*.
"What nre the best and moat healthful
Summer drinks ?"
The immediate object of drinking is to
satisfy thirst. Tiiero is hut one thing capn
hie of doing thi.?, and that id water. The
principal ingredient of all the different
kinds of drinks used is water, and the
purer the water, and the le?s quantity of
other *ubs'ances mixed with U, the more
perfectly does*it supply the wants of tl.e
system. This being the ca?e, pure water
is the best and most he.tlihfu! of drink*,
not only for Summer, but for all seasons of
the year. The manner in which it i*
drank is very important. If it is swallowed
rapidly atul in lurpa nimntiiiut
may produce undue distention and pressu
e of the stomach, and interfere wiili its
functions and tliose of tbe surrounding
organ?. If the water thus swallowed he
very cold, and the system at the name tiiue
be suffering from heat and fniigue, very
serious results are apt to occur from thu
sudden shock. Water should always be
drank slowly. By sipping, tho dexire for
drink is more effectually grutifi.-d, and any
desirable quantity at any temperature may
be drank without injurious effects. Icewater
in Summer is not objectionable il
tak< n in this way. Water should not be
drank at or soun after meals, as it inter
fetes with the proress of digestion.

Presentiments op Death are
among tho strangest phenomena of
tho human mind. Biography sets
forth a startling array of eases in
which tho setting sun of life has cast
a long shadow of impending dissolution
beforo it. Asked in his thirtysixth
year to writo a Requiem, Mozart
*adly replied, "It will bo my own,
then;" and ho died as soon as he had
finished it. "Did I not tell you truly,"
lie said, musftig over the scoro as ho
ay dying, "that it was for myself, I
jomposed this death-chant?"
Fleichier, the great Frcnch divine,
Ireamt that ho was to die, and
>rdercd his tomb. "Bciriu your
vork at once," was his final instrueions
to tho sculptor, "for there is no
imo to loseand no sooner was the
iousc of death finished, than its inending
tenant entered upon posses- ,
ion. "What is to bo tho subject of
rour next design ?" asked a merry 1
>arty of friends of Hogarth. "The
Slid of All Things," was tho reply.
In that case," said ono jokinglj*,
;thcro will be an end of the artist."
There will," rijoinod Hogarth, with
t depth of solemnity that was strange <
n him. Ho set about tho plate in hot .
taste, broko up his tools wben he had
inished it, entitled the print "Finis,"
,nd, a short time after its publication,
ay stretched in death. "Poor vVes- ,
on I" exclaimed Foote, us he stood deeetedly
contemplating the portrait of
, brother actor rccontlv dead "nnm>
, M . J
Veston ! Soon others shall say, poor <
i'oote." In a few days he was borne
>ut to his burial.
Instances of the kind might be
multiplied indefinitely. But there are
ases on record where the presentilent
has been even more striking, j
Volsey knew the exact time at which ,
is death would take plaoe. "What |
i the hour of the day ?" he asked ]
'avendish on the morning before his ]
eath. "Something pnst eight," relied
the attendant. "Past eight!" ]

ball you lose your uiastor." On the t
blowing morning, while the clock .
rut striking eight, he died, lie was
rrong as to the day?right as to the <
our. i
There is another wcll-nuthenticated j
use of a French lady of title, who f
ad a presentiment that on a given 1
ay she should die at twelve o'clock, c

Accidents from Edqf Toom, Hakd
Bodies, etc.-?In all recent wounds,
be first consideration is to remove
>reign bodies, such as pieces of glass,
plinters of wood, pieces of stone, earth
r any other substance that may Have
een introduced by the violence of the
et which caused the wound. Where
tare is much loss of blood, an attempt 1
hould be made to stop it with dry 1
nt, and compression above the part *
rounded, if the blood be of a florid 1
Dllor; and below, if of a dark color. <

A Mother's Evening Song.
Three little pAirs of shoes by tlie bed,
Three little lifting prayers all snid,
Three little pruttling tongues at rest,
And baby a*le?p upon iny breast.
Weary I am with the toils of the day,
9o weary I scarce curl kneel to pray ;
But I breathe my thoughts >n my Father's ear
And know that he lovingly stoops to hear.
Iret sweet are the cares of ray simpto life?
A busy mother, a hnppy wife;
And I woulJ not exchange for wealth untold
The living riches my arms enfold.
My girls! oh, who but a mother can know
Ilow sweetly about my heart they grow,
How yo'irnirgly, tenderly, Jay and i ight,
1 btrain my eyes to ketp them in sight.
My pretty flowers 1 woo, woe to?he day
Thai should take your innocenoe awny ;
i> God I forb d that my daughters fair
Should brea he the corrupter's poisoned air.
Then Bertie, ray bright, ray beautiful boy?

Will he ever bring liia mother to shame,
And tarnish his fathvi'a honored name t
The hot tears are triclilii'g fa.it os I ppeak,
And dropping od Tommy's tender cheek.
Hnsli, huah, my darling! Tia only a tear?
Your mother is wetpirg. bnt'he is uear ;

And soothe h?r, my aweet one, soothe her to rest

The Eagle.
"As an eagle stirreth up her ncBt,
luttereth over her young, spreadeth
ibroad her wings, taketh them,
aeareth them on her wings; so the
Lord alone did lead him (that is
[srael.)?Dent, xxxiirll, 12."
The popular sentiment in all ages
aas crowned the eagle, king of birds,
Mid given him credit for pre-eminence
n magnanimity, courage, strength
md beauty. According to the anient
pagan mythology, the eagle was
i sacred bird, and the messenger of
lupiter.
Iu defence of ita the eagle
exhibits astonishing daring and
itrcngth, not hesitating to attack
nen when invading their nests. A
iiw years ago, a j-oung man in Scotand
undertook to rob an eagle's nest
>f its young, for the sake of the prenium
which was offered by the authorities
for the destruction of this
>ird. In climbing to the nest, a very
langerous, craggy precipice had to be
>assed, at the top of which, on a proecting
cliff, was the prize. Bei.eath
"awned a chasm two hundred feet
leep. With one hand tho invader
teld himself up by grasping a bushhat
grew out of the side of the
>recipicQ, and with the other he was
ciziug the young eaglets, when the
>arent bird hovered in sight, and
Iropping tha prey she held, and
ittcring a wild scream, she darted
ipon the intruder, burying her talons
n the fleshy part of his neck, and
issailing hip eyes with her beak. For
i time, the young man's destruction
eemed inevitable; but at length he
ucceedcdrin drawing a knife from his
rest, and opening it with his teeth, he
>lunged it into, the enraged bird till
to killed her. But the marks of the
>ird on fiis face and neck will never
>e obliterated; such was his terror,
hat when he had escaped from his
)eriloaB situation it was found that his
jair had all turned white.
As the parent eagle provides fbr,
oves and defends her young, so the
Lord defends and loves His people.
L'bis is the meaning of the figure
jooted above. Let young children
earn-by heart this passage of Seripure,arid
think what a blesaed privicge
it is to bo one of God's own chilIreU;
to nettle as it were under His
>rotecting wing, to enjoy His proteoion
against every onemy and every
langer.
