Rural Brief NIcntionings.

Look to the colts. Cold storms OF
sleet and snow double them up badly.
Give them shelter.
If you would have your shoes last a
good while never expose them to the
heat until they swell. 1t destroys the
vitality of the leather.
The wooden mills of eight Western
States are now equal to about thirty
per cent. of the whole number in the
United States in 1850.
The ". T.. Farmer mentions a hog
weighing $50 pounds which gained near
" FIVE pounds per day for over one hum
dred successive days.
If harness is washed in warm water
till it is plisble, never put it away or
use it till it has been thoroughly oiled.
Do not use varnish.
you prefer eggs to fresh beef, in
winter, give the latter to the hens, and
eat the former yourself Beef will make
the hens "shell out"
The Minneapolis (Iowa) onion, Nov.

wheat, which was selling at date at
from 75 to 80 cents per bushel.
Nearly all the farmers who make men
tion of their potato crop, the present
season, concur in saying that the peach
blow has done admirably.
India rubber overshoes should always
be removed when one enters 4 house,
with purpose of staying long. They
rot leather and injure the feet.
II is estimated that the wheat crop of
the present year will afford seed aud
FIVE bushels to each person in the States,

Devon cattle are supposed by many
TO be the best feeders, grinders and di-
gesters of food, and requiring the small
est amount of any other to keep them in
condition.
The Chester and Berkshire hogs eat
and are satisfied; the long nosed are
never satisfied even when eating. The
one sleeps and fattens; the other grows
poor frem restlessness.
The most successful breeders of good
hogs concur in saying that continuing
to breed from the same herd will de-
stroy the stock. The change should be
not of family but of tribe.

NoBoDY,s CHILD.

Alone in the dreary, pitiless street,
With nv torn old dress and bare cold feet
All day I've wandered to and fro, .r.
Hungry and shivering. and nowhere to 60;
And the chill sleet beating upon my bare head
Oh why does the wind blow upon me SO wild;
Is it because I'm nobody's child &
just over the way there's food Of light,
And warmth and beauty and all things bright;
Beautiful children In robes 30 fair;
Are caroling songs in rapture there.
wonder If they, in their blissfni giee,
Would pity poor little beggnr like me,
Wandering alone in the merciless street.
Naked and shiyering, and nothing TO eat
OH what shall do when the night comes dowr
In its terrible blackness over the town.
Shall lay me down meath the angry sky,
On the cold hard pavement stone to die =
When the beautiful children their prayers have
said,
And mama's have tucked them up snugly in
bod.
No dear mother ever upon me smiled;
Why is IL, wonder I'm nobodys child
No father, no mother, no sister-not one
In all the world loves me; cen the little dogs
When 1 wander too near them; tbs wondrous
to see
How everything shrinks from beggar like
me-
Perhaps It's dream; bat, sometimes when
lie
Gazing far up in the dark blue sky,
Watching for hours some large, bright star,
fancy the beautiful gates are ajar.
And host of white robed nameless things
Come futtering DER me in gilded wings;
A hand that is strangely soft and far.
Caresses gently my tangled hair.
And a voice like the carol of some Wild bird
The sweetest voice that was ever heard
Calls me many dear pet name,
Till my heart and spirit are all afiame,
And tells me Of such unbounded love,
And bids me come to their home above;
They look at me with their SOFT sweet blue
eyes,
And it seems to me, out Of the dreary night
l am going up to that world Of light,
And away from the hunger and storms so Wild
/ am sure shall then be somebody's child.

Johnson After Cuba.

The Pittsburgh Commercials Wash
,nr correspondent has wonderful story
ahoot the designs of President JOHNSON
ard others in Cuba. He says that 1.-THE
idea If getting possession of Cuba has
been very prominent in Mr.. JoHNsoN'S
mind since the Spanish bombardment
# Valparliso. Soon after that event a
senator in close sympathy with the
President sounded the committee on
Foreign Relations to ascertain how far
the Republicans would support the
President q the direct seizure of Cuba.
The leading members of that commit
tee opposed it, and so did Mr.. SEWARD
The plan Of the present revolution,
already tclegraphed as having
originated here, vas set on
foot by Republicans acting IN
concert with leading Cuban liberals
Oae Of the most prominent in the mat
Ter here was general officer of distine-
tisn under Bolivar. The plan was sub
mitted to q number of members of each
House. and considerable material aid is
said 10 have been secured here. The
fr.t idea was to have considerable
number OF ex-soldiers go quietly from
New Orleans, Charleston and the Texas
ports, the revolut:9nists on the Island
20 be ready TO act promptly in concert
with these parties. 1t was supposed
tbat the Cuban authorities would OF
themselves be utterly pOwerless to
check the movement, and that 1T would
requi.c more than thirty days to get
any aid from Spain, the possession OF
the whole island could be gained. This
was to be followed by those inter
ested in the two Houses of Con-
gre,, here, either by the recognition OF
The Republican Government there or by
annexation of the Island and creation
there OF regularly organized State
Government. The first date fixed for
lie breaking out oil the REVOLUTION was
early l4st winter, but satisfactory ar
gangements regarded as safe could not
ge completed, and the blow was post
poned till the 23d of last February.
Thsre was failure on this occasion, and
both in a measure were caused by the
unexpected watchfulness of the Cuban
authorities. As soon, however, as the
ate troubles assumed grave character
10 Spain, it was believed by the leaders
u this plan that the favorable time for
lie movement had arrived, and the in
sgrrection began. Opinion is daily
gaining strength here that the revolu-
'.onists will finally succeed.

From the World, Dec. ls.I

From IuS w OTlu, DcS' lC.I
Under the stimulus of the accumu-
lated capital and the developed enter
prise of the world, the production of all
articles used by man has been enor-
mously increased all over the globe
during the last ten years. During the
same time tie facilities of transporta-
tion have in like manner and in like
measure been multiplied, and with their
multiplication the cost OF transporta-
ton has been diminished. Yet these
Radical rulers of ours, protesting to
love humanity more than all men be.
sides, have imposed upon Us system OF
taxation which practically operates to
shut out the people of this country from
their Just participation in the lnestlm-
able blessings of the great worlds gen
eral progress. And by doing this, these
same Radical rulers, protesting to
be the special keepers Of the con-
science of mankind, pander to the
growth of commercial fraud in precise
iy those branches of trade which most
directly affect, not only the morals OF
the classes made fraudulent, but the
comfort, the health, the general-wel
being of the defrauded classes. Nothing
can be more certain than this effect OF
such a system of taxation as we now
labor uuder. In his able and brilliant
plea for the commercial treaty of 1850
between England and France, Mr..
Gladstone put this truth most forcibly.
Look" he said to the House of Com
mons in exposing the evils of the then
existing tariff on French wines, "look
at the fraud and adulteratien to which
it gives rise. Many of the houses
engaged in the wine trade bear as high
character as any in England; but the
partners in those houses will tell you OF
the difficulties they have to encounter
in holding their own against persons OF
inferior character who are brought into
that trade. And why do persons of in
ferior character embark in itt because
our lalC inUiteS them to do so. Because the
restrictive operations Of your tdrit is so
serere that it affords temptations Which
they cannot resist to counterfeit the articles
on which you hare laid such hedry duties.
That is the way in which the wine du-
ties work"
Ave, and that is the way in which the
tea duties, and the coffee duties, and the
spice duties, and all these duties work
which these self-styled friends of man
have heaped upon this people, to main
tain their inflated system of Federal
protectorate over all the local customs,
laws and liberties of forty millions of
people trained to self-government.
Fraud over the counter in the corner
shop, disease and too often death in
the cup at the quiet chimney, cor
ner in the poor mans home-these
are the fruits, the direct, the in
svitable fruits, of the legislation
which the people of this country have
been fooled, by fine words and glitter.
ing nonsense about Patriotism" and
"Loyalty" and the "Rights of Man"
and all the rest of it, into accepting
and indorsing as the salvation of the
State" The mills of God grind slowly.
But they grind exceeding small. The
evi we suffer to be done to our breth-
rem in Washington comes home to
poison ourselves at our breakfast-tables
in New York and Boston and Chicago.

WHEELING, w. A MONDAY MORNING DECEMBER 2l. 1863

According to the testimony of ex-
Governor Vance of North Carolina, the
tendency of things in the South is to a
subdivision of farms and the general in-
troduction of white labor.
The Germantown Telegraph scouts the
story that so bushels of Chilli Club
wheat have been grown upon an acre OF
land. The incredibly of that paper is
fully justified we think.
Some of our exchanges are discussing
the character of purslane-denouncing
il as a great nuisance. 1t makes good
green's, colors fine purple, and is easily
hoed up when not wanted.
