probably greater happiiiess than she conld 

 ever have known had the loved one been 

 spared to take all her thoughts and atten- 

 tion. Yes. it is even probable that, had he 

 lived, he might have taken her thoughts 

 away trom her Creator. Here are the lines : 



Not now, mv fhiUl,— a little more loufrli tosfijnjc, 



A little lohrfi- on the billows' foam; 

 . A few more iournevinirs in the fleseit darkness, 



And then the sunshine of thy Father's home. 

 Not now; for I have wanderers in the di.stance. 



And thou must call them in with jiatient love; 

 Not now; for I have sheep upon the mountains. 



And thou must follow them where'er they rove. 

 Not now: for I have loved ones sad and weary; 



Wilt thou not eheer them with a kindly smile! 

 Sick ones, who need thee in their lonely sorrow; 



Wilt thou not tend them yet a little while? 

 Not now; for wounded hearts are sorely bleedinpr. 



And thou must leaeh those widowed hearts to sing; 

 Not now; for orphan's tears are quickly fallint;-. 



They must be gathered 'neath some slielteriuK wing. 

 Go. with the name of Jesus, to the dyin;;. 



And speak that name in all its li\ Iiil;- jiower; 

 Why sh.>ulcl thy laintiiiLr heart sivow eliill and weary? 



Canst thou nut wateh with me one little hour! 

 One little hour! and then the glorious crowning, 



■The golden hari)-stiings, and the victor's palm; 

 One little hour! and then the hallelujah! 



Eternity's long, deeyj thanksgiving song!

think it over calmly you will find your old 

 friend has some redeeming traits after all. 

 T do not believe we are really greedy. We 

 like to have things straight and square, and 

 have an understanding, liut we surely do 

 not want a single dollar that rightfully be- 

 longs to you or to any other brother. Xow, 

 after thinking the matter over. don"t you 

 believe you liave been just a little rough on

§OMEBODY has complained that we 

 don"t have any more Growlery lately ; 

 that is, we put in all the kind words 

 and kind notices that we get, and 

 don't give anybody a chance to speak 

 at all when things "are not as they should 

 be. W.ell, I don't know but I shall have to 

 plead guilty, but it has not been from a dis- 

 position to misrepresent, but because of 

 neglect ; and, in fact, we have only two let- 

 ters suitable for this department, and they 

 are quite old at that. Here is the first : 



If you have not shipped those crates 1 ordered, 

 you need not send them. You were too slow. I 

 could fret four orders from Mr. Newman, of Chica- 

 go, while you send one. Please send me the mon- 

 ej', and I will not bother you with another order.

Logansport. Ind., June 24, 1886. 



Whew ! If the above is a tremendous 

 clip at A. I. Koot, it is a pretty good rec- 

 ommend for Bro. Newman, at the same 

 time. And this reminds me, that there are 

 few people who do business, of whom we 

 hear as little complaint as of our friends of 

 the A. B. J. Now, friend Z., your order 

 was received June 14, right in the very 

 height of the season, and your goods were 

 shipped on the 24th. I know that ten days 

 is almost too much, but it seems to me it is 

 not so very bad after all : Here is the other : 



I find a notice on last Glk.\ninos, that you like 

 to have another dollar. Well, you can't have any 

 more of me, because jou are not gentleman 

 enough. You are all too greedy. Stop your 

 Gleanings I 1 am sorry I ever had any thing to do 

 with you. You are all money. P. Diehl. 



Durand, Wis., July 4. 1886. 



1 will explain to oiu- readers, that friend 

 L). was displeased because a comi)ositor set 

 his name wrong in the subscription-list ; 

 and the consequence was, he got a dun 

 when he did not owe us any thing. Now, 

 friend D., I am exceedingly pained to hear 

 you say you wish you had never had any 

 thing to" do with "us. May be, after yoii 



EveiT one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, 

 or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my 

 name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and .shall inherit 

 everlasting life.— M.^TT. 19; 29. 



THE UESCRIPTIf)N OF THE NEW FACTOKY, ETC. 



A PART of the above was written by Ernest and a 

 part of it by myself— or, rather, 1 have put in a par- 

 agiai)h here and there. Those who are e.xpert in 

 such matters may be able to pick out the portion 

 dictated by myself and that dictated by Ernest. 



WHAT TO DO, AND HOW TO BE HAPPY WHILE DO- 

 ING IT. 



Our friends will notice that the above is not giv- 

 en in this issue. One reason for its omission is, 

 that there seems to be more interest in other mat- 

 ters just now, so we have occupied this space with 

 matter pertaining directly to bee culture. Anoth- 

 er reason is, I ha%"e felt as though 1 needed more 

 practical experience myself, before attempting to 

 teach others in some of the lines I have proposed 

 taking up. The book, as far as it has gone already, 

 (128 pages), will be furnished by mail, bound in pa- 

 per covers, for 7.5 cts. ; if ordered with other goods 

 by freight or express, 70 cts. 



We are pleased to notice " The Bee-Keeper's Rec- 

 ord," published in Scotland. It is conducted by W. 

 B. Carr and William Uaitt— the former of Cheshire, 

 England, and the other of Blairgowrie, Scotland. 

 We are a little surprised to find it in its fifth vol- 

 ume, and we don't remember that we ever saw a 

 copy of it before. It seems to me our old friend 

 Raitt is a little backward in letting the world know 

 what be is up to. In a word, the Rcinrd is a very 

 neat and interesting journal of apiculture, and we 

 consider it quite an addition to our bee-literature. 

 The sub.scription price is 2s. 6d per annum. We 

 presume that either of the above friends will be 

 glad to receive subscriptions from Anjerica.

 it cost us altogether something like .-S.^ILOO. it is add-
