EIRST BRANCH.
Walking n Ran.

There was fellow once stepped out
of the door Oft tavern on the Mississ
ippi, meaning to walk a mile up the
shore to the next tavern. Just at the
landing there lay big raft, one of the
regular old fashioned whalers-a raft a
mile long.
Well, the fellow heard the landlord say
the raft was a mile long, and he said tC
himself, 81 will go forth and see this
great wonder, and let my eyes behold
the timber which the hand of man hath
hewn." So he got on the hover end and
began to ambulate over the raft in pref.
ty fair time. But just as he get started
the raft started too and as he walked up
the river it walked down, both going at
the same rate. When he got to the end
of the sticks he found they were near
shore and in sight of a. tavern; so he
landed and walked straight into the
bar-room he'd came out of. The gener.
al sameness of things took him little
aback, but he looked the landlord
steady in the face and settled it in his
own way:
"Publican," said he, "are you gifted
with twin brother, who keeps q simi.
lar sized tavern, with a duplicate
wife, O comporting wood pail, and cor.
respondent eireus-bill q mile from
here.W
The tavern-keeper was fond of fun
and accordingly said that it was just
so.
"And publican, have you among your
dry goods for the entertainment of q
man and horse any whisky of the same
size Of that of your brother'sp
And the tavern man said that from
the rising Of the sun even unto the 60
ing down Of the same he had,
They took the drinks, when the
stranger said: Publican, that twin
brother Of yours is fine young man-s
very fine man, indeed. But do you

WOMEN ON THE FARM.-A discussion
is going on in the New Hampshire MIR
rOr and Farmer as to whether men or
women should do the milking. "a YAH
kee Farmers Wife of New Hampshire
gives her views as follows: Having
read with considerable interest the COM
munieations from Mr.. Hersey and a
Farmer and disagreeing with them,
my husband wished me to give my views
on the subject. cannot agree with the
former that woman should always do
the milking, yet ! think q women
should know how to milk, that when
husband or father is gone from home
the milking may be done at the usual
time, and they have the satisfaction of
knowing that the chores will be done
when they return home tired with the
days labor. Now have as good hus-
band as o woman need have, kind and
willing to help me when i wish him, and
l think it no disgrace for me TO milk
and do the chores when he is gone, or
to rake hay when a shower is coming,
or he is in hurry, or to do and work
when he needs my help, if ! can without
neglecting my own duties. i never
lived on a farm till / was married, so
that knew nothing Of farmers life,
yet can do any kind of work that is
necessary. enjoy the farm and work
taking care of the turkeys, chickens
and flowers, feel as though was dis
charging my duties better by helping
when can-as my familyis small
than should to spend my leisure time
doing that which is more ornamental
than useful, though like little OF
that. I do not think woman should
be drudge, but companion and help
meet, making home the happiest place
on earth. / do not think girl should
be brought up to think it a disgrace to
do anything but play on the piano en-
broider, dress and fiiIt.. Such one may
do for city gent, but not for farmers
wife.

Hubbard W.. Van Trump.

We notice that Honorable c. ID. HUB
BARD is making n nice thing ont of his
elaborate, high-flown and entirely ex-
temporaneOus (i) defense of West Vir-
ginia, in the House of Representatives,
the other day. An Ohio representative,
Mr.. VAN TRUMP, having made q very
silly reference to the stains of our State
in the Union, Mr.. HUBBARD promptly
sprung to his feet, several days after
ward, and upon the spur of the moment,
nearly q week later, poured forth tor
rent of rhetorical indignation which
has not been excelled by any of the
many and spirited deliverances of our
eloquent member. This warm and
swelling impromptu performance, which
came with all the force of immediate
inspiration, some days after the utter
ances which provoked it, is having quite
q run in the Radical papers in this
State, which are contributing literally
to our champions needs, in the way of
cheap puffs and advertisements.
The substance of VAN TRUMP's often
sive declaration is that West Virginia
has no rigbtful, legal abiding place in
the grea: family of States" 1t was in
response to this sentiment, embellished
and elaborated in the style that pre-
walls where bombast is plenty and brains
scarce, that Mr.. HUBBARD's patriotic
bile was moved to overflowing, and the
Democracy at large were charged with
hostility to West Virginia.
We notice that when our indignant
representative had prefaced his unpre-
meditated reply, by having The Clerk
read the Objectionable extracts from
VAN TRUMPS speech, the latter gentle
man desired to explain, Mr.. HUBBARD,
however, had gotten up his retributive
impromptu with reference to VAN
TRtMP's previous remarks, and would
not consent to have the situation spoiled
by any observations for which no pro-
vision had been madein his extempo-
raneous manuscript. The following is
a specimen of our ready champions
elGquence:
Yes, sir, West Virginia has home, a
constitutional home, legal abiding
place in the great family of States; she
is q true Commonwealth saved from
insurrection and rebellion by the best
blood of freemen; an honored star in
our political constellation; born of 10y
atty and dedicated to freedom, she mag
niGes our national system of govern
ment and proclsims to the coming fu-
ture that loyalty is the birthright Of a
State. ~ -y.
If any Of thefor egoing oratorical pro-
fppdity msans that West Virginia is, in
fact and law, one Of the United States,
the author will find no heartier indors-
srs anywhere than among the masses Of
