You let the man who carries in the

of groceries and eh arge them to pa. I
nave passed the kindling wood period
in a boy's life, and have arrived at the
coal period. I will carry in coal, but
I draw tbe line at kindling wood.'
Well, you are a cruel, bad boy,'
said the grocery man, as be went to the

'0, I don't know. I think pa is
cruel. A man who will take a poor
kitty by tbe neck, that hasn't done any

convicted and sent to Auburn. After j
a year's imprisonment lie escaped and
went to England, but the Loudou |
police were too much for him. The j
Kltnira Gazette, which recalls the
events of this man's life, records the
fact that he is remembered jji Elmira
as having been 'a devoted husband
and a kind father.' His death re
sulted, to use a familiar form of
speech, from natural causes; in other
words, the'tastes tvhich he indulged
when he had money wore such that
his powerful constitution was under
mined, and he breatlied his last breath
on a convict's pallet.?New York

upper story is used the same frames are
used as for the lower story. Whcu houey
is wanted iu small one pound sections,
a frame 2 inches wide is used, with tin
separators. This frame will hold eight
sections, 7 of these frames %re hung in
the upper story, and act as a case to
keep the outside of the sections nice
and clean. The brood-frames, teu iu

the too bar projecting on each side J of

of an inch thick, the top bar -J. In the
inside*of the frame, aud nailed to the
top bar, have a triangular piece ? inch
