Hints to Men of Business. — Be punc- 

 tual and attentive. Let your word be sa- 

 cred, and your engagements inviolable. Keep 

 your accounts straight. Many a man has 

 lost a fortune by carelessness. The little 

 time and trouble it takes day by day, to keep 

 debit and credit, and file away bills that have 

 been paid, is nothing to be compared to the 

 future benefits. No man is perfect, and the 

 mo?t honest may forget that you have ad- 

 justed your account, and present his bill 

 again. If you feel sure you have cancelled 

 the debt, you may not convince your creditor 

 of the fact. But if you have preserved his 

 bill receipted, there can be no mistake or 

 further trouble about it. — Exchange paper. 



It is a pretty general opinion among Bee 

 raisers, that the swarms should not be kept 

 in a Southern exposure during the winter. 

 The bees are apt to be tempted to leave the 

 hive, and thus become chilled and disabled 

 from returning, before they are aware. In 

 summer they should not be exposed to the 

 sun, but shaded. 



The Vine prefers hilly, stony ground, with 

 an eastern or soutlicrn aspect, and its roots 

 like to penetrate into the crevices of rocks. 

 Uncultivated it produces less, but lives for 

 ages, and its trunk may acquire a prodigious 

 volume. Cultivation, in making it more 

 fruitful, shortens its life.
