SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY IS, 1868.
Co.Operatiyc Farming.

That great economical reform of our day,
the co operative principle, has presented a
new phase in England in the establishment
of cooperative society of novel kind,
called the Agricultural and horticultural
Association, the first meeting of which was
held some three weeks ago at Islington.
The managing director, Mr. Grooming, made
report in which he said the society had
SO far accomplished everything which it had
undertaken, aud explained the principle of
their association as limited share capital,
by which all liabilities were limited to the
amount of 81 per SHARE. He said the mem.
bcrs 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 and unadul-
terated articles, the whole of the profits,
minus the small charge for working expenses,
which did not average more than four per
cent, would find their way into the pock-
cts of the members. They would receive a
dividend of seven and half per cent, on
the capital and the profits upon their pur-
chases, minus the working expenses, the
amount returned in the average of existing
CO operative associations being six sevcnths
of the profits. At present the manufactur
ers allowed a commission of something like
twenty per cent. to the agents who sold the
goods, and, in the event of the farmers
availing themselves of the 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 the farmers would
find it to their advantage to adopt the CO.
operative principle, he said it had done q
good service to the trade iu preventing
aduteration, and frauds in measurement,
and had enabled him to save from twelve
to fifteen per cent in his own household
expenses. Mr.. Groning, in answer to a
question, said the amount of capital invest
ed in cooperative enterprises in England

upon the attention of the Farmers Club
and similar bodies.

THE SOLDIERS ORPHAN.
by J. THELwALL.

by ). THELwALL.
Alas! am an orphan boy.
With naught on earth to cheer my heart!
No fathers love, no mothers joy,
Nor kin nor kind to take my part.
For though humble home I've found,
eat the bread of charity;
And when the kiss of love goes round,
There is no kiss, alas for me.
Yet once had a father dear,
A mother, too, with loving eyes,
And tender hand to wipe the tear,
If chanced n transient tear to rise.
But cause for tears was rarely found,
For all my heart was youthful giee
And when the kiss of love went round,
How sweet n kiss there was for me.
But, ah there came a war, they said,
And why IL was | could not tell
But drums aud iifcs were loudly played,
And loudly rang our village bell.
In truth it was a pretty sound,
thought, nor could | once forsee
That when the kiss Of love went round,
There soon would he no kiss for Inc.
A soldiers coat my father took,
And sword as bright as bright could be;
And feathers that so gaily look,
All in n shining cap had he.
Then how my little heart did bound
Alas | thought it fine to see;
Nor dreamt that when the kiss went round,
There soon would be no kiss for me.
AT length the bells again did ring,
There was 4 victory, they said
Twas what my father said he'd bring;
But, oh it brought my father dead
NJ mother shrek din speechlcss woe
She clasped me to her trembling knee;
oh may you never-never know
How wild kiss she gave to me
But once ngain-but once again,
Those lips mothers kisses felt;
That once again-that once again
The tale a heart of stone would melt
Twas when upon her death-bed laid,
That sight all my life shall seel
"My child my child ,''-she feebly said,
And gave her last, last kiss to me.

The Grain Trade Of Chicago.

The Chicago 7'riJuae publishes its annual
statement of the grain trade for 1867, COM
piled from the official records of the Board
of Trade. Although there is a falling off
rs compared with 1865. the decrease is not
proportiunats to the decrease in the crop of
1866 AS compared with that of 1865. The
to'al receipts estimating -four as wheat
foot up 50, FAC, ,955 bushels, against G7,77l,-
$50, bushels received in 1866. and SO, ,622,-
S23 bushels in 1865. The decrease, as com
pared with 1866, is Z, ,030, 795--nearly twelve
per cent. Flour is less by some $4,000 bar
rels. Wheat shows an increaee of l,l20,-
900 bushels Corn has fallen off over ten
millions Of bushels. Oats exhibit an increase
of nearly QUE million bushels. Rye has de-
creased $50 900 bushels, but barley shows a
gain of TAP, 900 bushels.
This great falling off of twelve per cent
il the aggregate receipts, was caused hy the
disasters which overlook the crops of 1866
The rains in August and September of that
year played havoc with wheat rye and bar
ley--and partially so with uats-and the
damage inflicted on the corn crop 10y the
early frosts of September aud the late rains
retarded its growth and prevented II large
portion from reaching maturity The har-
vest of 1867 was in nearly every respect a
satisfactory one. The grain was large,
healthy and well filed, though the yield of
wheat was subsequently ascerained to be
below the expectations of the trade. The
crop of Rye was lighter than anticipated.
In the east there was a falling in the crop
of barley, but in the West was u large one
and of excellent quality, better than any
harvested for several years. The falling off
in the receipts of flour is attributable to the
low stage of the water in all the streams in
the West during the past fall, and its rela-
tive cheapncss as compared with wheat. -
The advantage favored the eastern miller
instead of the one at the West.

Success MAKES ENEMTEs.-They who
are eminently successful in business or who
achieve greatness, or evan notoriety in any
pursuit, must expect to make enemies. So
prone to selfshness, to petty jealousy and
sordid envy, is poor human nature, that
whoever becomes distinguished is sure to
be mark for the malicious spite of those
who, not deserving success themselves, are
goaded by the merited triumph of the more
worthy. Moreover, the opposition which
originates in snch despicable motives, is
sure to be OF the most INSCRIPTIONS charac
ter; hesitating at no iniquity descending
to the shabbiest lttleness.
Opposition, if it be honest and manly,
is not in itself undesirable. The competi.
tor in lte's struggles who is of true metal,
deprecates not opposition of an honorable
character, but he rather rejoices in it. 1t is
only injustice or meanness which he depre
Gates and despiccs and it is this which the
successful must meet, proportioned in bit
terness, oft times, to the measure of success
which excites it.

HEAT VS.. YELLOW FEVER R-Commander
Chandler of the United States steamer Don,
reports from Vera Cruz that on the 25th of
November last yellow fever of the most
malignant type broke out. Twenty three
men were seized, aud seven died. lie land
ed the sick at once then closing the matches
of the berth deck and wardroom, discon-
nected a joint of the steam heater in each ;
and kept them filed with steam for
two hours. At tha: time the theromomter
indicated temperature of two hundred and
five degrees in the ward room, and one hun
dred and seventy degrees in the berth deck.
The work was eifectual F; there were no more
cases of yellow fever.
This method has for several years been
prosecuted at our own quarantine with econ
omy and success but we DO not remember
seeing an account of an example in an in
fected port where the disease is indigenous
The destruction of the infectious principle
by means of heat, would seem to be une

The yIen Who are Attractive.

The Cleveland Leader, in a recent article,
answers the question, What kind of Il man
is attractive Ia women 7" in this sensible
style. This answer can be given in few
words God has So made the sexes that wo-
men, like children, cling to men lean upon
them for protection, care and love look up
to them as though they were superior in
mind and body. They make them the suns
of their system, and they and their children
revolve around them Men are gods if they
but knew it, aud women burning incense at
their shrines. Women, therefore, who have
good minds and pure hearts want men to
lean upon. Think of their reverencing
Grunkard, liar, fool, or iibertine. If a
man would have woman do him homage
he mus. be manly in every sense ; true gen
teman, not after the Chesterfield school,
but polite because his heart is full of kind
ness to all one who treats her with respect,
even Difference, because she is woman ;
who never condescends to say silly things to
her; who brings her up TO his level if his mind
is above hers who is never over anxious to
please, but always anxious to do right who
has no time to be frivolous with her always
dignfed in speech and act; who never spends
too much upon her; never yields to tempta-
ton 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 the extent of be-
ing an adopted brother or cousin; who is
not over careful about dress; always pleasant
and considerate, but always keeping his
place at the head, and never losing it. Such
department, with noble principles. good
mind, energy and industry, will win any
woman in the land who is worth winning.

MATCH GAME OF BALL.-As was an-

of Wheeling, proceeded to Steubenville
to play match game with the Mears
club, of that city. The Battles arrived
at Stoubenville about II o'clock p. NJ,

received by the Mears. Every attention
was given our boys. When they re-
paired to the ground they were greeted
with large assemblege of spectators
among whom were many ladies. The
playing was fine, but the fortunate star
of our hitherto invineible Baltic was
not in the ascendant. The scepter had
departed from their princely grasp. The
Mears came of victorious, but our boys
appear well satisfied and are willing to
try it again. Below We subjoiu the
