THE WINTER OF THE HEART. ]
Let it never come to you. Live so lhal

evil?the winter of the heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze up the 1
fountain of pympathy and happiness from '
its depths?no cold burthen settle over its 1
withered hopes, like snow on the faded

and skiiek through its desolute chambers.
Your life path may lead you amid trials
which for a time seem entirely to impede
your progress, and shut out the very light

You may be forced to toil wearily steadily

Death may seven the dear ties tliHt bind j

Hiving Bees.?If not known to vour
I readers the fallowing incident may be usei
fal:
I threw open my blind a few day* sinre,
I and raised the window to inhale the pure
air and take a morning look at the gay
flowers that were in full bloom under my
[ windows, when I heard a most unusual
] humming of bees. Not seeing any on the
flowers, I looked into the air, and just over
my head they inagitated commotion preparatory
to swarming from the hive of a
neighbor. On a fine locust near the door
they were soon settled, cut before any effort
could be made to hive them they commenced
flying and returning to their oh!
hive. Next day they cnmc out again, and
a man who knew something of bees was
sent to hive them. IIo called for a long
woollen stocking, drew it on the end of the
pole, and placed it where the bees seemed
thickest near a tree, is if they had selected
it as a place where to light. He held it a
few moments, and the stocking was very
soon covered completely with tho whole
swarm.
A table had been spread with a white
cloth and a hivo ready, lie laid his pole,
or rather stocking of bees, upon the table,
and then put the hive over while ho carefully
drew out the pole. In an hour or two
the bees were all in the hive and placed In
the bee house, and in a short time more
they were at work furnishing their new
borne. While they were on the table they
"cleaned house," and dislodged every particle
of dust and old matter adhering to
their new abode.
Tn two dBys more nnothe* swarm came
' out of the old hive, and in the same manner
the son and females of the family secured,
in this simple way, another fine swarm.

PLEASE GOD, TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR
BABY.
Dear little Fanny; brown eyed, rosy;:heeked!
How well lier parents loved lier ;
?nd her own little heart was full of love to
I hem, and to God in Heaven. By and by
n new claimaut to her love appeared?a I
Imby brother. Anil if the heart was brimful
of tenderness before it overflowed now,
surely: For "Our Baby," was to her the
fairest the rarest and the best of all that
God had made. None of her little treasures
were too precious to be livUhed on Baby ; !
and kisses from licr puro white lips were
showered thick as rain drops upon the wee
face, the hands, and the dimpled arms of
this Mast best gift." Very often at night,
after she had been put to rest in her little
crib, she would riso up look towards her
mother's bed where little Tommy lay and
say?"Mamma, take good care of Baby and j
ki*s him good night for me."
Hut the "Reaper whoso name is deatb,"
smote the loved one, and they buried bis
body in the damp cold ground. Poor
Fanny was a bitter mourner, till her mother
told her again ami again that I3ady bad
gone to God, which was enough for her
trusting heart to know.
A few days afterwards a ladv came to
fee htr mother?a very unwise lady, too, T 1
think, or she never would have tortured
that little heart with such questions?and
she asked Fanny, if she wasn't very sorry
that her little brother was lying under the
ground.
"Mamma says that i?n*t true,'' was the- '
child's reply. "It wasn't our real baby that
they buried in the grave. The real baby
has gone to God in Heaven !"
"But God had a jjreat ninny babies there
before. Aren't you afraid He'll forget to take
gooil rare of little Tommy?
"No," said the child, though with a
trembling hesitancy?"I ihinl* if ho had as
many babies there before, He'll know all
the better how to take c:?re of ours."
But after the lady went away, Fanny
thought a great deal about it, and would
come to her mother often during tho=day,
and say?"Mamma, you're sure ain't you,
that God do. sn't ever forget Baby now?"
And that night, when she was lying in her
crib, as usual, her mother heard her say?
-\ru'it?o oou i?K?! *joo'J care. or our iiany.
and kiss him pood night for me!"
Sweet trusting Fanny! Il is not long
before another little grave was m ?de beside
1 I*uby Tommy's?for liis loving sister, loo
1 bad gone to God in Ilcaven."?IAlllc Pilgrim.
