Even as Macpherson, ingenious, if not ingenuous, gathered Ossian from the lips of Highland hussifs, and made the world with modern Attila to back it, wonder at the stores that are hived on old wives' tongues; even so might any other literary, black-smith hammer from the ore of common gossip a regular Vulcan's net of superstitious "facts."
It is pure benevolence that makes Him act, 'for the glory of His great name'; sweeping away the clouds that a darkened earth may expand and rejoice, and all the leaves unfold themselves, and every bird sing, in the restored sunshine. And there is nothing that reveals the inmost hived sweetness and honey of the name of God like the assurance of His pardon.
We were about to hive them when this young gentleman came along at the head of his company, and there arose a discussion, at the end of which I hived him instead." "But these wounded men " "Ah, your Majesty, it was unfortunate; but one can never tell where these discussions will end."
Fewer bees are lost by a speedy removal, than when permitted to stand until evening, because they are creatures of habit, and are every moment establishing themselves in their location.

The smell of the sewer was the chief odor, and the long lines of low, red brick houses, with wooden steps and balustrades, and the blinds closed, completed a permanent camp of dreariness. "Does Fanny Newt live there?" asked Gabriel, in a tone which indicated that there might be hearts in which honey was not abundantly hived. "Yes," said May, gravely.
Vesta looked up at the poetical illustration, and saw her husband's conical hat, into which she had been hived, and her eyes fell to her mourning weeds. "Oh, my father!" she thought; "has he kept his good resolutions! It is all I have left to hope for."
They were of that nature which is slow in winning its way to popular esteem; the result of the hived and hoarded knowledge of years; the produce of deep thought and sublime aspirations, influencing, in its bearings, the interests of the many, yet only capable of analysis by the judgment of the few.
But it was curious, the way the innocent little things invariably hived there, no matter how awful and accusing the invitation would be to those "dead in trespasses and sins, who felt themselves lost and undone."
