THE SOLDIER'S ORPHAN.
BT t. TBULWALt.
Ala ! I am an orphan boy.
With naught on earth to cheer my heart!
No father's lore, no .mother's joy,
Nor kin nor kind to take my part.
For though a humble home I've found,
I eat the bread of charity ;
And when the kiss of lore goea round,
There i. no kiss, alas ! for me.
Yet once I had a father dear,
A mother, too, with loving eyes,
And tender hand to wipe the tear,
If chanced a transient tear to rise.
But canso fof tears was rarely found,
For all my heart was youthful glee ;
And when the kiss of love went round,
How sweet a kiss there was for me.
But. ah ! there came a war, they said,
And why it was I could not tell ;
But drums and nfos were loudly played,
And loudly rang our village bell.
Iu truth it wns a pretty sound,
I thought, nor could I ouce forsee
That when the kiss of love went round,
Thero soon would be no kiss for me.
A soldier's ooat my father took,
And sword as bright as bright could be;
And feathers that so gaily look,
All in a shining cap had be.
Then bow my little heart did bound ;
Alas! 1 thought it fine to see;
Nor dreamt thai when the kiss went round,
There soon would be no kiss fur me.
At length the bolls again did ring,
There was a victory, they said ;
'Twaa what my father snid he'd bring ;
But, oh ! it brought my fatherdead.
My mother shriek'd iu speechless wo
She olasped me to her trembling knee;
Oh ! may you never never know
How wild a kiss sho gave to mo
But once again but once again.
Those lips a mother's kisses folt ;
Thatonco again that onco again
The tale a heart of stone would melt.
'Twas when upon her death-bed laid,
(l'liat sight iall my life shall see.)
"My child ! my child V she feebly said,
And gave her last, last kiss to me.

Chatuller, of the United State steamer Don,
reports from Vera Cruz that ou thu U5t Ii of
November last yellow fever nf the most
malignant type broke out. Twenty-three

ed the sick at ouce ; thuu closiug the batches
of the berth-deck and ward-room, discon

and kept them tilled with steam for
two hours. At that time the theromotnter
Indicated a temperature of two hundred and
live degrees in the ward room, and one hun
dred and seventy degrees in the berth deck.
The work was effectual ; there were no more
cases of yellow fever.

That great eunnomicul reform of onr day,
tha co operative principle, has presented a
new phusu in England in the establishment
of a co-operative society of a novel kind,
called the Agricultural and Horticultural
Association, the first meeting nf which was
held some three weeks ago nt Islington.
The manuring director, Mr. Oroning, made
a report in which ho auiil the society had
so far accomplished everything which it had
undertaken, aud explained the principle of
their association as a limited share capital,
by which all liabilities were limited to the
amount uf 1 per share. He said the mem
bers were to be supplied with the best de
scription of implements, manures, cattle,
food, seeds, &c, at trade prices, without
the intervention of agents' profits; but, in
addition to their securing good und unadul
terated articles, the wholu of the profits,
minus the small charge for working expenses,
which did not average more than four per
ceut, would find their way into tho pock
ets of the members. They would receive a
dividend of seven and a half per cent, on
the capital and the profits upon their pur
chases, minus the working ex peases, the
amount returned in thu average of existing
co operative associations being six-sevenths
of the profits. At present the manufactur
ers allowed a rnmmissiuu of something like
twenty per cent, to thu agents who sold thu
goods, nnd, in the event of tho farmers
availing themselves of thu advantages of
agricultural co operation, the commission
would be saved.
Mr. Thomas Hughes, member of Parlia
ment, made a speech in which not pretend
ing to decide whether thu farmers would
find it to their advantage to adopt the co
operative principle, hu said it had done a
good service to the trade iu preventing
adulteration, and frauds in measurement,
and had enabled him to save from twelve
to fifteen per ceut. in his ow n household
expenses. Mr. Groping, in answer to a
quesuion, said the amount of capital invest
ed in co operative enterprises in England
was 1,010.010 ; thu amount lent ou depo
sit, Ul 18.023 ; the aggregate profit derived
from such enterprises last year, !iTd,Ul?,
and thu nverugu ret tun to the individual
stockholder thirty-six per cent. It was vo
ted to press the arguments for co-operation
upon thu attention of the Farmers' Club
and similar bodies.
''lie nil ti Trade of Cliiciifo.
The Chicago Tribune publishes its nniiuid
atntement of the "rain trade for 1 807. com
piled from the official records of the liourd
of Trudu. Although there is a falling off
as compared with 1808. the decrease is not
propui t iuiiats to the decrease iu the crop of
1 SOU us compared with that of 1805, The
to'al receipts (estimating Hour us wheat;
toot up 50,710,1)05 bushels, against 07,771,
730, bushels received in 1800. and 511,022,
823 bushels in 180.). The dccrflisu, as com
pared with 1800, isJ,0M,7i)5 nearly twelve
per cent. Flour is less by sonic 43,000 bar
rels. Wheat shows an increaeu of 1,120,
000 bushels. Corn has fallen off over ten
millions of bushels. Oats exhibit an increase
of nearly one million bushels, itye has de
creased 000,000 bushels, but hurley shows a
gain of 742.000 bushels.
This great falling oil' of twelve per cent,
if. thu aggregate receipts, w as caused by the
disastets which overtook the crops of 1800.
Thu rains in August ond September of that
year played havoc with wheat, rye ami bar
ley and partially so with oats and the
damage inflicted on thu coru crop by the
early frosts nf September and the late rains
retarded its growth and prevented a large
portion from reaching maturity The har
vest of 18G7 was in nearly every respect a
satisfactory one. The grain was large,
healthy and well filled, though the yield of
wheat was subsequently ascertained to be
below the expectation of the trade. The
crop of iive was lighter than anticipated.
In the east thete wns a fulling in thu crop
of barley, but in tho West was a largo one
und of excellent quality, better than uuy
harvested for several year. The falling off
in the receipts of flour is attributable to the
low' stage of thu water in all the streams in
the West during the past full, and its rela
tive cheapness as compared with wheat.
The advantage favored the eastern miller
instead of thu one ut the West.
Tbe Jlt'n WUo lire Attractive.
Thu Cleveland Leader, in a recent article,
answers the question, "What kind of a man
is attractive to women f" in this sensible
stjle. This answer can be given iu a few
wonts : tiod has so made the sexes that wo
men, like children, cling to men ; lean upon
t lii-m for protection, care and love ; look up
to them as though they were superior iu
mind and body. They make them the suns
of their system, and they and their children
revolve around them. Men are gods if tbey
but kuew it, aud women burning incense ut
their shrines. Women, therefore, who have
good minds and pure hearts want men to
lean upon. Think of their reverencing a
drunkard, a liar, a tool, or a libertine. II a
man would have a womuu do bun a homage
he must be manly in every sense ; a true geu
tlctnan, uot utter the Chesterfield school,
but polite because his heart is full of kind
ness to ull ; one who treats her w ith respect,
even delereuce, because sue is a woman ;
who never condesceuds to suy sillv things to
her; who brings her up to his level, if bis mind
is abuve hers ; who is never over unxious to
pleuse, but always anxious to do light ; w ho
has no time to be frivolous with her; always
dignified in speech and act; who never spends
too much upon ber; never yields to tempta
tion, even if she puts it in his way ; who is
ambitious to make his mark in the world,
whether she encourages him or not ; who is
never familiar with her to thu extent of be
ing an adopted brother or cousin ; who is
not over careful about dress; always pleasant
and considerate, but always keeping bis
place at the bead, aud never losing it. Such
deportmeut, with noble principles, a good
mind, energy aud industry, will win any
woman in the land w ho is worth winning.

The Adulteration vf Woman,
WHAT VKHUANT OREKN FOUND OUT ON 1113
WEDDIN'O NIGHT.
Verdant bad lived an unsophisticated life
until he had reached tho ripe age of twenty
one. About that time a neighbor of V'a
father employed a governess from New York.
V. met her at a picnic, and as she was the
first lady be had ever met that could make
him feel at ease in her society, he fell vio
lently in love with her. His bashfulness,
under the skilful tutelage of tbe governess,
wore rapidly away, and ere long be bad
consented to become her bridegroom. The
bridal party stopped at a Cincinnati hotel,
and, after many a weary hour, the most
momentous moment in a man's whole life
arrived for Verdant.
On two chairs was piled n pyramid of
rkirts, etc., and on a tablo near tho head of
the bed the astonished eve of Verdant be
held a sight which filled hiin with horror.
There were fa!s calves, false hips, false pal
pitators and false hair. In one tumbler of
water w as a full set of Talse teeth ; from
another a glass eye stared at tho bewildered
bridegroom. How long he stood. Verdant
knnweth not; but, Hfter awhile a hollow
and strange voice from under thu bed clothes
addressed hi in thus :
"Why don't you come to bed, dear I''
"So I would, but by I don't know
whether to get into bed or on the table."
Composition to Stop Leakage. A cor
respondent of tbo Lynn Xeus gives a recipe
for a cheap composition, wilh which leaks
in roofs may bo effectually stopped. Having
a leaky "L," he says: "I made a composi
tion of four pounds of rosin, one pint of lin
seed oil, and one ounce red lead, and appli
ed it hot with a brush to the part where the
'L' was joined to the main house. It has
never leaked since. I then recommended
the composition to my neighbor, who had
a dormer window which leaked badly. He
applied it, and the leak was stopped. I
made my water-cask tight by this composi
tion, and have recommended it for chimneys,
windows, ic, nnd it has always proved a
cure for a leak."
ScrcEss Makes Enemies. They who
are eminently successful iu business or who
uchieve greatness, or evan notoriety in any
pursuit, mtiBt expect to make enemies. So
prone to selfishness, to petty jealousy and
sordid envy, is poor human nature, that
whoever becomes distinguished is sure to
be a mark for tho malicious spite of those
who, not deserving success themselves, are
goaded by the merited triumph of tbe more
worthy. Moreover, tho opposition which
originates iu such despicable motives, is
sure to bo of the most unscrupulous charac
ter; hesitating at no iniquity; descending
t) me snanuiest littleness.
Opposition, if it bu honest and manly,
is not in itself undesirable. The competi
tor in life's struggles who is of true metal,
deprecates not opposition of an honorable
character, but bo rather rejoices in it. It is
only injustice or meanness which he depre
cutes and despices; anil it is this which the
successful must meet, proportioned in bit
terness, oft times, to the measure of success
which excites it.

on. Now, how long would they have to
