12SAY; BY MISS HELL' OLIVER, OF
!TROY RICIR,I3OROOL, 71111,1879.

We may fish and" fish,' but nothing
. worth the catching ever swallows an un
baited.hook. A
to
be spread inge
uiously enough to enstire all sized fishes
and folks, , bnt it iii Idle to attempt to
thrust elate hook into the gills of eitber
fish or flesh. This fact was learned in
life's primitive days before we had out
grown "spools of thread for fishing lines
and betided pins for hooks nr-a fact which
iows more prominent as we advance to
more elaborate tackle, and aspire to larg
er fish.
Whqthei we angle for the finny tress
tires of the deep, or bob for , the finless
tribes that inhabit the remaining third of
4.reation,. our Success- depends largely up
otir skill in covering the motive power
employed
',lonian nature abounds with laudable
schemes for benefitting fellow mortals,
hat many of these benevolent deeigns are'
fruitless, lkcause the well-wishers at- .
Th 'teitipt;to draw by main force rather than
- decoy by scme agreeable bait. The means
of attaining the desired object are made
more prominent - than pleasing,. and so
. much real philanthropy runs *.o waste.
I would not advocate policy to the ex
clusion of sincerity, but experience has,
taught mankind i that however great the
• necessity to administer a better pill, it
will be taken More readily, and necotn-.1
plish its pUrpose just as surely, if render
ed palatable by a coating of tact. This
• disguising process has been very general
ly adopted byl medicine-makers, and the .
once bitter, 'disgusting doses are - now
smoothly covered with gelatine, and are
easily- swallowed.
When civilization has Advanced anoth
er grade, we are hoping that the "doc
hiertMtioiaud reproof," prescribed
by the Catcchisnr,'will be dealt" out to us
in an equally i accep able form, for truths.
be they frer So Wholesome, must be made
attractive, or the people will not relish
them.
We at!iiall liable to be caught, . indeed
we expect and want to be caught, that is
ift..he bait is fat and Savory. There ate
many unscriptural Esaus bartering their
birthright for pottage, who never after
war'ds complain of their bargains. •'
We all have our vulnerabWimints,
tastes as capricious •as those of - the
/spVelded beaUties," and which we 'as
recklessly indulge. We bite: eagerly at
Olt , bait which the changing 'seasons
bring, mid we con be taken in :with; the
bright but flavorless false flies.
'here are . people'who cannot fish; they
. e Willing enough to sit on the bank of a
. pli , a.sant stream and CAtst in their lines,
but i 'can never bring themselves to bait
' the book, and therefore fail to catch any
fish. Others are-not 'patient enough to
make good fishermen ; tley are not 'con
,tent to wait until sure of a bite, ,but jerk
!away
the line at the first ,little nibble, and
' !away iewitns the uncaught fish. This oc
,, (-filiation requires a great deal of that qui
el determination that bustling people of
ten mistake for indolence: . .
. . Some one has said "There is a vast dif
ference bet*een laziness and persever
. :thee." - 'the steam that escapes from an
engine makes/a terrible noise, but the un
leMidensedVaper that we do not see or
iii-ar does the work.
We ought all to learn to fish even if we
-never go near the water, and especially
should th4e whose watchword is reform,
possess some knowledge of the ways and
means of catching and holding hearts.
When Christ bade Ills disciples become
'" fillers of men" He intended them to
use the same persuasive arts practiced in
the vocation from which he chose his fig
ori. but his followers of • to-day. - when
tlii , set'their outlines sometimes forget
the ba't. i .
We who are. kill' floundering in the
depthit offfZ worldliness, have becu angled
for by man, many times, "line upon line,
and precept upon precept," has been flung
to us, but: for want of a sinker, the line,
floating near the mane, was too obvious,
over feCour Uneducated eyes.
If only those who are trying to draw
souls to the Better Laud 1-would always
fish with baited hooks; mended nets and
invisible lines ; and' could oftener distin
guish bvtwCen a nibble and a bite, there
• , i•ould be fewer "disappointing splashes"
as the almost saved sinter falls back into
the dark waters afid floats farther and
farther from the fisherman's reach. '

DRIVING RATS AWAY WITHOUT 'POISON.
.
• Vre" know - of thite 'methods. First,
the' Old French - This is. 'fol;
Inwed,:chiefly Parte, by men-who
make -it a-Upecial 'business. They.
tate 11:deep tub, with slitter on the
bottom and a little elevationin the
middle-like an island, on which . is
only place for PO one rat , to sit on.
This t rap is Covered, and his a large
balance valve - Opening downward..
On the middle of ;this Valve a piece
of fried Pork or cheese' is placed, and
when the rat walks on to • it.to get
the, cheese the,' valve goes down;
drops .the rat into: the -water, and
moves brick in position. A road is
made from the rat !role tO the top of
the tub by meanso . pieces of board
subbed with chees 4, so as to make
the walk more attractive for the rats.
In the,course of the night some ten,
-twenty,- or even more rats may'go
down, and if the island was not there
they would be found Most all alive
in • the morning, quietly swimming
around • but the provisions of the
little is land savesthe troublfpf kitt
ing-them, because their egotihtic in- .
stinctS of preservation causes Ahern
to fight for the exclusive possesSiop
of the istiind, on which in the :mi.-
nine the strongest rat is found -in
the solitary possession, all the others
being killed land drowned .around
-him,. Second ; the New York pl•tn,
invented by one of the Friends. The
floor near the. rat-hole is covered
with a thin layer 'f the
. mostigaustic
potassa. When the,ratswalk on this
it makes their feet sore; these they
lick ivith Om tongues, which makes'
their mouth sere, and the result is
that they shun the locality, not alone,
but appear to tell' all the rats in thel
neighborhood about ,it, and create
allrthe hons , ... is entirely abanted .
by them, notwithstanding the houses
around are full of rats. Third,'the
Duch method. This is said to be I
successful 'tri Holland. "We have,
however, never tried it. A number
of rats are left to themselves in a
very large trap or cage, with no food
Whatever. Their craving_ hungttr
will cause them •to fight,l and the
weakest will be eaten by the strong
est. After a short time tl] fight is ,
renewed, and the next weakest is the
victim, and so it ,goes on till one
strong rat is left.. When this one
has eaten the last remains of the.
other it is set loose. The animal
has now acquired such a taste for rat
flesh that be is the terror of all rat
ilom, going about seeking what rat
he may devour. • in an Incredibly
short time the premises are aband
oned by all other rats, which will not
come back before. the cannibal rat has
left or died. .
MR. L. C.. Roo . ; of Mohawk,. has
the following, in the American :rig
ric - u:turi4 for June : •
As early in Jurie as the stocks be- I
come populous,• and honey is being
gathered freely, preparations should
be made for.securing surplus honey.
If box honey is .desired, the .boxes
should be arranged in place upon the
hives. /f extracted honey is pre-'
ferred, extra empty combs should be
supplied for the purpose. These may
be placed at.the side of the brood
cOrnbs, if space isiilforded, or at the
top, by using the two-story hike:
The manner bf cr
upon
empty cbini)s
will depend . upon the kind of hive
used. If there is 'nut a supply of
empty combs for this purpose, frames
filled with comb-foundation may be
used. The tells will soon - be drairn
ont and the combs completed. 'As
Lfast as boxes are tilled, remove them,
and" replace with empty. ones, having
a care to not put on many near the
closAof , the honey yield,
Box honey should be kept in a dry,
dark room. It should be exaniin&l
occasionally during the warmest
weather to see that the• moth does
not disturb it.lf sighs of moth wormin
are detected, the boxes should.-- be
placed in a box or barrel and frimi
gated with briinstone. Extracted
honey should be kept in a warm, iry
place, in Open vessels, where We
moisture may be cvapor Ited, and the
honey properly cured.
SHELVES,
In northern latitudes natural
swarms will issue most freely during .
this month. The management-:best
for. the bee keeper to adopt, will of
eourse depend upon his obje..t.
inerease of stock is his aim, entirely
different' methods will be . necessary.
than if surplus honey alone is de
sired. If the latter is the' object; and
ro increase is desirable, it - will - then
he necessary to determine in what
form the surplus is to be ...ob
tained. If it is to be taken with the
extractor, - the beginner may reason
ably expect to be successful
venting- swarming, but if boxed
honey is desired, swarming will be
more difficult to. control. If. the
store combs are emptied with the ex.-
tractor once a week or oftener, room
is.given the queen to deposit eggs
freely, and ample facilities for storing
honey arcs provided, as . well.; Tor
these reasons, stocks so managed
seldom attempt to swarm. There
are many. reasons, why this mode of
securing surplus is preferable.
.Un
restricted natural swarming is never
desirable. If box honey is preferred,
perhaps. the safest course for begin 7
Hers to follow, is to •allow one swarm
to issue from each stock, and-prevent
all after-swarms, as this Practice
will most nearly meet. the. demands
of the average season, giving moder
ate increase, and a lair portion of
surplus honey. llives • for. swarms
should be kept in readiness. When
a swarm issues, hive it, and place it
at once upon the stand it is to oc
cupy.. On the issue.of a Swarm it is
desirable to take one or two combs
of brood from the old hive, and alter
removing all queeneells rom these,
place them in the new hive that is to
receive the swarm. This will , usually
prevent them from leaving for;-the
Woods. The place of these combs in
the old hive .should be filled. with
empty combs or frames tilled with
foundation. About three days after'
the swarm is hived, the boxes from
the old: hive,. which will - usually be
partly filled,may beiAaced upon the
new. one, where they will be coni
pleted Muth sooner than if-left upon
- the old hive. .
PREVENT IN( AFTER-SWAILIIS:
To prevent after-swarms, it will be
necessary, to supply 'the old stock
with queen: This may be done-by
removing all, ueen cells (cutting out.
with sharp riznife) and introducing
a laying - queen. • Or;. if it is not
thought best to •prOcuro a queen' for
this purpesei: the stock. may be left
for eight days from the issue of the
