those gh0 look to the best interest OF
the STATE, let the past be forgotten. In
the counties of Wood and Ohio there
are but few disfranchised, while they
have but little trouble, at least in the
latter, to elect full Democratic ticket,
yet they should know that the last cleo
tion was caused at the cost of those dis
franchised. If the Democratic leaders
of West Virginia prefer to see few
Democrats elected to liberal policy OF
enfranchisement, be it so, but l fear the
time has ceme when this course will not
operate to the credit or success of the
Democratic party. You, Mr.. Editor,
may think this plain talk for an old
Democrat, but let me assure you that l
am not the only Democrat that thinks
this way. Yours, truly,
OLD AMERICA.

Oil News.

There has been but little change in
the productions of ell at Burning Springs
for several months past. The average il
about 300 barrels per day, in all the
wells. Some old wells are revived every
week, to some purpose; but some of the
wells that have been pumped are drop
ping off. The general yield, however, i:
very steady. Oil now commands from
81 to S. per barrel at the wells, the price
being affected by the prospectof rise
in the river or not, and by the necessity
that men have for money.
There is not much change in the pro.
duct of light oil at White Oak and Sand
Hill. The wells are generally doing q
fair business, and being on the railroad
the product goes regularly to the mar.
ket.
We find on the wharf, ready fer ship
ment, an unusual amount of lubricating z
oil, destined for all parts of the coun-
try. This trade is steadily increasing
the oil improving in price and demand,
while the production is about the same.
The Handlan tract 10 still idle; but
we hear reports of its starting up again.

Wool Market.

The woel market has been quite lively,
although prices have downward ten
deucy. Many of our farmers in Brooke
county have been holding back, in the
hope that wool would look up, but in
this they have been disappointed. Du-
ring the past ten days, some fifteen or
twenty thousand pounds have been dis
posed of at prices ranging from 40 to 45
cents. 1t is generally believed that
this is the highest figure wool will
bring this season. This has induced
many of our farmers to bring it to mar

LITTLE FEET AND LITTLE
HANDS.

Little feet and little hands,
Busy all the day,
Never staying in your playing
Long upon your way
Little knowing whittier going,
Come TO me, pray!
Bring the sweetness, in its fisetness,
OF the carly flowers,
All the blessings and caressiDgs
0fyour sunny hours
Little feet and little hands,
What awaits for youi
Sad t0morrows with their sorrows
Clouds or skies of blue
With the pleasures come rich treasures
Ever glad and newi
Never tarry feet that carry
Little ones along
May they bear the darlings where
The air is full of song
Little feet and little hands,
Ye are wondrous fair
Ye are straying in yeur playing
From balmy air
Gently blowing, never knowing
Any thought of care;
To its breezes, if it pleases
Him who guides our way
May you wander, over yonder
Where they ever play,
And no smiling or beguiling
Woo again TO stray

By THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.
The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile hat well her pain diseembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear drop hangs and tremblsJ,
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed DIR, as dear
As e'er believed the field Of glory!
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones Win weep or wonder,
And b'avely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed night, in her dreams to bear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath she'd rs sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field Of battle!
The moth, VIII conceals her grief
While TO her b. east ner son she pressei.
Then breathes few brave words and brief,
Kissing the parri brow she hl-sses,
With no one but er secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood e'er the SD
Received On Freedoms field of honor!
