The Power of Bees. The following incident is related in an English paper. One day, a horse belonging to a farmer strayed from his yard into an adjoining garden belonging to a Mrs. Cox, and kicked down a hive of bees, which instantly attacked him with great fierceness. The poor horse kicked and plunged violently, and a man named Blunt, who happened to be in Mrs. Cox’s house, went out to his rescue. He succeeded in getting hold of the horse, but had scarcely done so, when the bees attacked him, covering his head and face, and every exposed part of his body. It was in vain he strove to beat them off. Wet cloths were thrown over him, and other means were resorted to, but it was a long time before the enemy left him. The unfortunate man was conveyed to his house, but died on his way thither, within ten minutes of the attack. The horse died the next evening. The deceased left several children to lament his untimely end. HYMN. I know, when I lie down to sleep, That God is near my bed; That angels watch by his command Around my infant head. I know, when I kneel down to pray, That still my God is there; He hears my words, he sees my thoughts, And will accept my prayer. I know when I go forth to play, That God is by my side; Through every hour, at every step, He is my guard and guide. I know his eye sees everything In earth, and sea and air; That he, in darkness as in light, Can see me everywhere. Then let me guard each thought, each word, Lest he should chance to find Evil within a heart that should Be gentle, meek, and kind. Our Correspondence. We have this month to acknowledge the receipt of letters from M. G. D.; J. B., of Princeton; S----, of Cambridge; and W. H. S., of Portsmouth. The following, from the latter place, we insert with pleasure. _Portsmouth, Sept. 3, 1844._ MR. MERRY: DEAR SIR,--I have begun to take your books, and have just received the back numbers, and thus far I feel a great interest in them; and, as you have had but a few _puzzles_ in the late numbers, you would oblige me very much if you would publish the following enigma. We are good hands down here for _puzzles_, and would like to get hold of one that would _stick_ us. If you can find one of this kind, we wish you to publish it. I send you the following PUZZLE.
