POETRY.
The Death ol Rielmnl llcnry H ,lde.
BY A. B. MLKK.
The harp that sang “the Summer Row*,”
In strain*, so sweetly and so well,
That, soft as dews at evening’s close,
Tile pure and liquid numbers fell,
Is hushed and shattered ! now, no more
Its silvery chords their music ix>ur:
But. crushed by an untimely blow,
Both harp and flower in dust lie low !
The bard'—alas, l knew him well!
A noble, generous, gentle heart,
Which, as his brave hand struck the shell,
Poured feeling through the vein* of Art.
What radiant beauty round his lyre !
Pure as his loved ltulinn fire !
lie caught the sweetest beams of rhyme.—
The Tasso of our Western dime!
Nor this alone: a loftier power.
That shone in hulls of High Decree,
And swayed the feelings cl the hour,
As summer winds, the rippled sea,—
Bright eloquence ! to him was given :
The spark, the Prophet drew* from Heaven!
It touched Ins lips with patriot flame,
And shed a halo ’round hi* name!
As lat** I saw, I see’ him now!
His stalwart from, his graceful mien,
liis long, while locks, his smiling brow,
His eye* benignant and serene !
How pleasant ’round the social hearth,
When listening to histones of mirth !
What lessons of the good and true,
r l he brave, the beauiilul, he drew 1
Droop down thy willows, Southern land’
Thy bard, thine orator, Is dead.
He sleegs where broad magnolias stand,
With “Summer roses,” o’er liis head!
The lordly River,sweeping hy,
Curves ’round his grave, with solemn sigh,
And,from yon twinklingornnjre stem,
‘1 he “Meek-Bird” pours hi 9 requiem !
Bard of the South !—the * Summer Rose”
May perish with the* Autumn leaf,”
The “footprints left on Tampa's” shores
May vam.-di with a date us brief:
But thine shall be the “life” of fame,
No winter winds can wreck thy name ;
And future minstrels shall rehearse
Thy virtues, in memorial verse!

A VISIT TO CHOLULA.
A trip to Cholula is one of the most agrepahle jaunts
around Puebla. By the road it is about h mile* distant,
and you will pass over a tolerably even roud and cross a
pretty little river, w hich is laid down on a map —but au
ill* map ia not here. I cannot recollect it* name. This
fashion we (ahem!) tourists have of noting down names
and incidents plays hob with one’s memory in general.
About a week since Generals Scott, Twiggs and
Shields, with nn escort of dragoons nnd the 2d and 7th
1 infantry, made an excursion to the site of the ancient
I Aztec city, and I joined it. About two miles from Pu
ebla a laughable incident occurred, though it well nigh
ended in a tragedy. The infantry was ascending an
easy slope, when two Mexicans came along with a pow
erful bull, which one oi them held by n lasso over the
horns, while the other urged him along with a good.—
The animal became restive as die soldier* passed, and
finally, breaking away from those who held him, charg
ed the left tlank, carrying a soldier through tin* ranks
on his horns, and landing him in the mud on the op
posite side ol the read. The two men finally got hold
of the lasso when four of us civilians came along on hor
ses. Then he began to plunge ami paw the ground,
and one of the Mexicans who got in front of the beast
to fe at him still, was tossed clear over the bull’s back.
The infuriated creature then Ditched into die other, und
throwing him in about two feet of mud and water, go
red and ducked him for several seconds. All the horee
men rode up and succeeded in driving the animal irom
Ins prey, when he turned and put after us, more furious
than ever. As we had no arms, and did not choose to
hav - our hone* ruined, there was some pretty “tall
walking” for a short distance. The animal ran down
j tire column nil near tl** head of the 7th regiment, and
tlx* n ciiargcd again, makingn pretty wide breach in the
ranks. After .*Hlieiyin|’ Uimrcit ihn* 7ti *.. no
! where” when he whs about, h** made a rush on the 2d.
[ The boys find time to fix their bayonets, however, and
n.. i r .riend ■ 1 coolly, matjaltu r. cciVi..£ five *,r ux
bayonet wounds he hauled off and gave up the Imtlie
In n few moments I saw him lassoed by a horseman and
pulled along towards the city, bleeding profusely and
looking quit* crest fallen. He had evidently been de
ceived m life first charge, and seeing no bayonets, pro
bably did not reckon on finding any on his second
splurge. But he can (if the butchers have not killed
him, which I strongly suspect,) console himself with
the fact that he made more consternation among two
regiments of U. S. Infantry than a thousand two leg
ged Mexicans could have done.
We met with no oilier interruption on our march—
On both sides the land was well tilled and covered with
corn in every stage, from the young sprout to the full
ripe seed, tomatoes, {kippers, etc. Ou one fine haci
enda some iix 11 were ploughing, and firodt- out to see
them. The plough in use here i* scarcely a degree
ahead of that used by the Arabians, andean only fa* of
any effect in soft ground, being made entirely ol w ood.
It ts drawn by oxen, which are goaded by a pike set
ill tbe end of a long pole. The .Mexican holds his plough
with one hand, and with the other stirs up the animals.
At the river the troops had Mopped to wait for the
Generals and escort, nnd three friends and myself gal
loped on the pyramid, wtuch we aara-nded mounted,
and there had a fine view of the advancing column.—
All the Mexicans ran away to hear the drums, (a Mex
ican will follow a single drum all day to hear th** mu
sic,; and left us 111 possession ot pyramid, chapel, pulque,
and all. W e made the best of the room left us before
the arrival of the troops, ascended the tower of the
church, examined the structure of the pyramid, Ac.—
in halt an hour the whole party were assembled in the
little square fronting the church, the band {flaying mu
sic such as had never before echoed among the rums of
Cholula. Os all the tunes played, the inhabitants reem
ed most pleased with “ Yankee Doodle,” probably from
its lively nuture. We were soon completely run down
by Indians, who brought iruil, bread, Ac., from the
market in the plaza below, and specimens of ancient
{lottery, broken idols, Ac At first these curiosities
were sold very cheap, but finding that we all wanted
them, the rascal* raised the price from one or two tla
co’* to one and two rials, winch very soon ruined the
business, us they held on their wares and we to our mo-
irey.
Cholula, at this day, presents little to attract*the at
ten'ion or ciuuu the adinnaiion of the traveller. Its
great pyramid still stands, and it will stand a dozen
centunes Irereafier, 111 ar good preservation as now
Young tn*e* have overgrown ii* sides, aml the sun
dried brick* of which it is composed, have become a
perfect solid. lis dimensions (1 quote llumlvoldt) are,
“bas** 1440 feet, present height I*9, area on the sum
mit 45,210 ” Tune and the heavy rums have conside
rably changed its genera! appearance, and it is ditfi-
Cttit to discern the different stories or *te|>s, of which
ilk re are three. The first of these 1* a large broad plat
form, extending six or eight >urds 011 either side fur
ther than 1 Ire square mass winch sup|k>ried the temple
of the Indians, ami now lire Catholic chapel. The se
cond plattorui is hardly disceniable.
The historv of this pyramid varies with every book
on Mexico, but I believe Brnntz Mnyer's account to
teas lien r the truth as any that has been written.—Be
fore the floral, tradition has it, this valley was inhabited
by grunts. Alter the great drown, and some i4K)vear*
alter theerentiou, one of these giants, called th Arch
itect, c.mst'd aj. n - at number of bricks to lie made, and
commenced building a pyramid, placing men, in files
to pass along tin* bricks, in the fame muiuier that fire
bu lo ts are passed nt a conilugrition m a small village,
lie had progressed very well, until one fine day the
Great spirit sent down fire, killed the workmen, and
put a veto on tire pyramid. From this time we iu ar no
more of (lie Giant, and 1 *uppdm* lie was burned up
with his workmen. Some time after this a great proph
et came to Ulu lulfi, who, from bring able to cause ram
to fall and do other miraculous things, wnschosen king
of Analiunc. It is said that under in* reign, corn grew
*0 large that a man had trouble to carry one eur, and
oilier grain, and all munirer of fruit grew in *imi
lu< enormous proportion*. Aftrrwvcrnl year*residence
this great anti good prophet removed to tire south and
died The pyramid was llk'ii la-gun anew and com
pleted, and dedicated to tin*great prophet, whose name
1 lit “k was i/.ai oath, or lie “Godof air * Tlicr*
was a temple ou lire top where Indian* were *ncrdiced
to lire idols, and papas, or priesta in great numbcrsof
ficinted there.
It was here that tire plot was formed against Cortez
mid fill hi# followers hy order of Montezuma, and winch
was ..nly di covered by D<>tmu Marina, the interpreter,
and four or live Tlaacuiau friends of the conqueror. It
is hardly i* e. **nry to detail this in external. Montezu
ma sent 40,000 men to lay 111 wait for Cortez, in ravines
outside the city on the mud to Mexico,'and the cacique*
his deep ditche* made in the streets, filled with sharp
pointed stfak*. and covered over so as to deceive the
Spaniards. They were also all armed and prepared
wnh cord* of hide lo tic the Spaniards when Urey were
defeated. The Papa* were induced to join the plot by
a promise thnt twenty Spaniard* should fir given them
for sacrifice The sequel i* well known. Cortez in
vited the caciques and principal men into a large yard
surrounded by a high wall, und ofter rebuking their
treachery, a signal of one gun was given nnd the wludo
were put to death—some were cut dowu, *onre shot.

Ilotv to make home Happy.
Nature is most industrious in adorning her domains
and man, to whom this bounty is addretwed,should ol* y
the lesson. Let him too be industrious in adorning his
! domain—in making his home, the dwelling ol’ Ins wne
. a,, d children, not only convenient and comibrtable, but
pleasant. Let him, os far as circumstances will permit,
be industrious in surrounding it with pleasant objects—
in decorating it within and without, with things that
tend to make it agreable ami attractive. Let industry
make home the übode of neatness and order—a place
which brings satisfaction to every inmate, and which,
in absence, draws back the heart by the fond associa
tions of comlort and content. Let this be done, and
this sacred spot will become more surely the scene of
cheeifulueSß and peace. Ye imrents who would have
your children happy, be industrious to bring them up in
I the midst of a pleasant, a cheerful, and a happy home.

I A mum musing im,Miciit, lllusuutluu of the extract-
I dinary strenghth us neli as attachment of the Arabian
horses, is give : ‘> Lamartine in his bcauibul Travels
in the Last:
“ An Arub chief with his tribe, had attacked, in the
night, a caravan ot Duma's, and plundered it; when
loaded with their spoil, however, the robbers were over
taken on their i elm 11 by some horsemen oi the Pacha
of Acre, who killed several, and bound the remainder
with cords. In (Jus state ol bondage they brought one
of the prisoners, named Abou el Marck, to Acre, and
iaid hwn, bound band and foot, wounded as he was, at
the entrance of their tent. As they slept during the
night, tire Arab, kept awake by the pain of ins wounds,
heard his horse s neigh at a distance and being desirous
to stroke, for the last time,the companion of his hie, lie
drugged himself, hound as he was, to the horse, which
was picketed at a little distance.—“ Poor Iriend,” said
lie,“what will >ou do among the Turks I You will be
shut up under the roof of a kahn, with the horses of a
pacha or an aga ; no longer will you cleave with your
bosom the writer of the Jordan, which cools your sides,
as pure as the loam of your lips. If lam to he t slave,
at least may yon go free. Go—return to our tent which
you know so well; tell my wife that Abou el Maick
will return no more ; but put your head still into the
tolds of the tent, lick tlie liands of my beloved children.”
With these words, as hie hands were tied, lie untied with
hi* teeth the letter* which held the couser bound, and
set him at liberty; but the noble animal, on recovering
its freedom, instead o! bounding away to the deae. t,
bent its head over its master, and seeing him in letters
on the ground, took his clothes gen y !y in his teeth, lifted
him up and set olf at full speed towards home. With
out ever resting, he made straight lor tlie distant but
well-known tent in the mountains of Aiabia.
He arrived in sal* ty, and laid Ins master down at the
feet of his wife and children, aiul immediately dropped
down dead with tatiguc. The whole tube mourned
liim, the poets celebrated ins liJeiity, and his nume is
still constantly in the mouths of the Arabs of Jericho.”

A question, indicated by the above heading,was rais
ed ilm’ past season, between cm i ,e| undeii’s of the I’rai
rie b anner. It is n matter of some practical importance
to those who deul with bees, to knowhow many can be
mailc to live in a single hive at a time.
The position taken by Mr. lauhrop was that a hive
never contains above n speeiiieii number, however Urge
the house iii which they were kept,or great the leugtb
ol time they remain in it.
That this is true will appear by a stan ineM of the
habits of the bee in respect to procreation and length of
tile, as they tuive hren oiweived by the best apiarians and
students ul natural lustory.
Tlie mother of all tiie bees in a hive it a single indi
vidual, known as the queen bee. She is the only ptr/ect
female in tint hive ; for though lite working Uses are ail
females, their procreative powers are not developed
I Anoihrf htinuie beside the one will not be tolerated in
the hive, fur wherever two are lound together, they im
mediately engage ill mortal eoiiibat.and one dies. This
fenioie is incapable, ns a mailer ol course, ol producing
above a spetdird number of youngilor the same reasons
(hut a hen will only lay suniruy eggs, or u cow produce
aoinaay claves.
Ms hute now two ot’ the conditions tieeemsry to
come to a conclusion of nurquesiitsi. we only uecd one
mot*, and (hat is die length <4 the hie of a bee. If the
insect lives a hundred years, it is obvious, with our pre
vious Statements, that the hive may increase to any con
ceivable aoe.
ilevnu states the age of the bee at eight months, and
though there is some ditierence of opinion among nat
uralists all Ihe sulyec', yet none of whom we know, al
low it to bo more than one year; and must aiuke it leas
than tbut.
With these fact* Mor* ns, we can easily percwve that
Mr. Uithrop's statement must be true, vu that a
swsrmol bees never increases beyond a specific uutii
ber, wluch number is regulated by ihe capacity ol one
breeding bee for the season.
Tlutse facts famish a mason for the wsnt of sncccss
of those who build s house and expect a swarm of bees
to increase tiU they hit it—a wotk which could eeaiiy
be spared, were the habits of tlw insect known.—f'rur
