Text Appearing Before Image:
So, here it is:— Your humble servant is giving his little twin bee-keepers their utual morning ride upon the wheel-barrow, while their mamma stands near the tene-ment hive, looking on admiringly — we suppose.Where is the new baby, little gray eyes? Oh!she is in the house, fast asleep. The shop stands to the right of the house, anddoes not show in the picture; but you can see a por-tion of the cheap lath fence that makes a yard be-tween the two buildings, thereby furnishing thelittle chicks a safe playground. There are somehives to the right of the view that do not show, aswell as quite a sprinkling behind the house. Thelog house and outbuildings belong to neighbor W.:you see, he has got his house into the picture, and itdidnt cost him a penny; but then, he furnishedthose nice tall oak-trees, which will, perhaps makeit all square. Dont you think, friend Novice, thatthis picture will he7p to tell how I am being happy?W. z. Hutchinson. Rogersville, Gene see Co , Mich., Sept. 4,1880.

I can imagine all thelittle ones in many a home where Glean-ings goes, gathering around it just to get apeep. May God bless the children! Areyou sure, friend II., you will be any happierin the new house than you have been in thisone? I would bv no means discourage new 18S0 GLEANINGS IK BEE CULTURE. 515 houses, but I think we find, sometimes, onlooking back, that our happiest days werepassed in the old house.
