Too True ! life's shores are shifting, 



Every year ; 

 And we are seaward drifting, 



Every year ; 

 Old places, changing, fret us, 

 The living more forget us. 

 There are fewer to regret us, 



Every year. 



-T. S. Paryin. 



Beware of people who do not love 

 children and flowers.

Keep Posted,— With regard to 

 the importance of reading bee-literature, 

 the Rev. J. Carswell, of Bond Head, 

 Canada, says : "In my own experience, 

 I have often obtained from one article, 

 information far more valuable, and that 

 led to a financial gain far in excess of 

 the cost of a bee-periodical. During the 

 eleven years I have kept bees, I have 

 been a constant reader of bee-periodicals, 

 and attribute any little success I have 

 had, very largely to the information 

 obtained from this source. I can, there- 

 fore, strongly recommend every one who 

 has bees, or intends to keep them, to 

 subscribe for a bee-periodical."
