Well, Uncle Lewis got one of Mr.
Carrol's empty hives ; and Mr.

Johnny's swarm for him,
"It's a good one," said he, "and
it will malco you lots of houey."
"I'll keep it for you," said grand-
pa to Johnny, "and all I'll charge
will be what honey we eat."
So grandpa kept the awarni ; and

A SWARM OF BEES.
Johnny spied it first, one sultry
Saturday afternoon, comiug straight
acroes the tope of the plum• trees iu
the garden—a wavetiug little black
cloud.
"What is it 2" he cried, "How
funny it looks ! 011 what is it 2"
Johnny was out on the veranda.
Uncle Lewis was there, loo, reading
in the hammock, with bis feet hang
ing lazily ever, and grandpa was
dozing off in his armchair.
But at Johnny's excited ixc}am-
ation, Uncle Lewis pulled iu his
feet and ehut Iris book because
Johnny wee always teeing some-
thing worth while wanting to know
about ; and grandpa opened his
oyes, and tried to loots as if Le had
not the smallest idea of going to

"There 1" cried Johnny. "See,
it's almost over our heade 11'
"It's Leat in the air," said uncle
Lewis. "Why, no 1" he added
quickly. "Why, Johnny, it's a
swarm of runaway bees 1 1 wish
they'd light ; then we'd hive them,
and get some honey."
Johnny was a funny boy. Uncle
Lewis, who lilted to tease little boys,
called him "Student John," and
"The Learned Blaoltsmitli," and a
good many other not es, because be
was always poring over books and
papers that were not story -books

Never iutentionally wound the
feelings of a human being.
Never talk or laugh aloud in pub-
lic place or upon the street.
Never forget that vulgarity Las
its origin in ignorance or selfish•
neem.
Never urge another to do any-
thing against his desire unless you
see danger before him.
Never omit to perform a loud
act when it can be done with any
reasonable amonnt of exertion.
Never needlessly wound the van-
ity of another or dilate unnecess-
arily upon a disagreeable subject.
Remember that good manners are
thoughts filled with kindness and
refinement and then translated into
behavior.
Be not ostentatious in dress or
deportment ; nothing can be more
vulgar. See that costumes fit the
time and occasion.
Be rude to none ; rudeness harms
not even the humblest and poorest
to whom it is directed, but iujures
the exhibitors.
In a goad deal less than a minute
he was out again, with his drum
slung acroes his bread, and the

"What is that youngster up to
now 2" said Uncle Lewis, and he
spilled himself out of his hammock,
and clapped on Lis palm•leaf hat,
and followed after.
"He knows what lie's doing—that
boy does," said grandpa, meaning
Johnny.
But he took his cane, and put on
Ins hat and followed Uncle Lewis
across the orchard.
And pretty soon they both came
where Johnny was standing still,
near the farther line of the orchard,
with his oheeke red and his eyes
shining, beating steadily away at
his drum.
"I've got 'em 1" he cried, his
voice fairly trembling with oxoite•

Surp enough, there was a black,

bough.

Lewis, throwing tip his hat. "Good

use of apple pips in love affairs. A.
lover would take a pip between the
finger and the thumb and shoot it
up to the ceiling, and if it struck it
his or her wish would be accom-
plished. Nowadays a maiden teets
the fidelidy of her beloved by put-
ting a pip in the fire, at the same
time pronouncing his name. If the
pip bursts with a report it is a sign
that be loves her ; but should it
burn silently, she is convinced of
his want of true affection for her.
