The question whether bees have the power of hearing is a mooted point among naturalists. Sii John Lubbock has tried experiments with his bees in order to eluci- date the matter. Thus he has played the violin close to bis bees, he has tried a dog whistle, a shrill pipe, a tuning fork and shouting, but no noise seemed to disturb them in the least. Nevertheless a curious occurrence took place a few days since at Windsor. Colonel Stewart, commanding officer Second Life Guards, reports that a few days since, when the regiment was return- ing down the Long Walk from a field day, a swarm of bees, attracted by the music, followed the regiment into barracks, flying about over the heads of the band. On arriving at the barrack yard the band form- ed up to play the regiment into barracks; the bees followed their example, forming up also and settling on a branch of a tree over the heads of the bandsmen. They were at once taken prisoners by the corpo- ral of the guard, and are now hived in the Dwight's Home School, barrack yard. YOUNG LADIES, The distance over which the bees fol- lowed the band was more than a mile. AT CLINTON, ONEIDA Co., N.Y.

It so touched the rough man that he went to the mother of the boy and confessed his fault. While engaged on the job he never again lapsed into vulgarity or profanity. The boy, now a tall lad, wields the same influence over his mates. They under- stand that his part in the game is ended as soon as bad words are introduced. The knowledge that his father's tongue was never polluted by profanity, together with his mother's precepts, and a child's natural desire to be like his father, have given this salutary bias to his early life. Boys, keep free from " swear words" of all kinds. They do no good whatever, but always defile and dishonor those who use them ; and the habit once established is a bad one to get rid of.
