THE BEE.
In a hive of bees there are some idle ones called drones, and when the winter approaches and food becomes scarce, these are killed by the working bees that the store taid up may not be consumed too quickly. Time once past, never returns ; the moment which is lost, is lost for ever. Odd can not buy it for thee, neither can mines of diamonds purchase back the moments thou hast onco lost.
