POETRY Y +.
Mrs. Branch's Boy.

Mrs. Br8nCnS DOys
Julia Branch, the strong-minded advocate
womon,s rights. is the author of the followln
lines:
NV little boy lies sleeping Stirless now
Are the bare feet, so quick and restless lately
And the blue eyes beneath his thoughtful brow
Are closed sedately.
One hand lies hid among the locks that hoat,
In careless grace upon the yielding pillows;
The other on his breast rides like q boat
On Summer billows.
About the couch, where they his waking blde'
His whilom play things lie in rare confusion;
And underneath his shoes he thought to hide
In safe secluson.
He calmly sleeps. The wiud means at the door,
And in the room the freights itful cleaning
Makes pleasant shadows on the crimson hoor-
sit a-dreaming
see afar the veiled uncertain land,
That in the future waits his manhood's coming
And strive to dissipate with loves strong hand,
Its mists benumbing.
And is he of that race of flaureled kings,
The wearefs of the purple of the Poet!
0, like the heroes whom the poet sings!
His life will show it.
And If he be q soul from falsehood free,
e Though he should. wear no laurel, sing no story
To bear his part with honest men shall be
Enough of glory.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1859-08-02

How TO AVOID THE DANGER OF LIGHrNISe.-
During thunder storms persons in houses should
sit or lie in some place as far distant as possible
from the chimney and the most exposed part OF
the walls. The middle of the room, If it is large
is the safest locality. Sailors on the sea should
keep as far from the masts as possible, and far
mers in.the field should never seek shelter under
trees. Horizontal strokes ot lightning sometimes
take place, and several persons have been struck
while sitting at an open window during thunder
storms. Every window OF a room in which per-
sons are sitting in such cases should be closed !;
a fash of the fluid which would pass through an
open window into an apartment will be conduct
ed down through the floor and wall to the earth
if the window is shut 4 sfltt

individual cases of suffering. Indeed It would
be impossible to mention bundredth part OF
the instances of dreadful agony which attracted
my special attention at the time; and if each one
of them could be described In writing, not even
a faint impression would be given of the fearful
horrors of the scene as it met the eye OF spec
tator. fyou can imagine the open area in front
of the City Hall filled with carts, upon every one
of which lay from five to ten or twelve men in
soldiers uniform, so far as they were dressed at
all-nearly all bareheaded, their faces, clothes
and hands, clotted with blood, groaning and
writhing in pain, then conceive Broadway,
as far as the eye can see, to be filled with an un-
broken procession ofjust such carts laden 10 the
same sad style,-the cattle believing, the drivers
shouting, and with the usual Accomplishments
of a great and haltregulated crowd, you may
form some idea of the character and magnitude
of this dreadful scene. AS general thing the
wounded made but little noise. Many of them
were too much exhausted ,-none of them cried
aloud, and comparatively few could bear to
groan. But there was no mistaking the ex-
preston of their faces, which spoke of intense
agony in spite of all their efforts to suppress and
conquer it.
AS was riding through the principal street
IN OdsllBllOue tnlS iloTulHe. L lOOkeu lulo tuo
large church in this place. 10 which the largest
lumber of wounded had been removed. All
the furniture of every kind had been taken out,
from the altar and side chapels us well as from
the nave Of the building, and upon rows Of mat
trasses extended iengthwise on the stone floor,
as closely as they could lie, the wounded were
placed. All whose injuries would permit their
removal had been taken away and sent on to
Montechiaro, Brescia and other towns, and only
those were left who seemed very near their end.
In one side chapel lay eight Austrans-two or
three gasping for breath and in the very act OF
dying--and not one OF the whole eight could
possibly, as it seemed to me, live an hour. The
entire floor was covered with the poor victims
of war, nearly all rapidly approaching the same
extremity. Men and women, charged with the
care of them, were passing to and fro-not to
soothe or comfort the dying, tor there was no
time for tbat-but looking tor those who might
still. be saved. And over the altar, looking
down upon this horrid scene, was an immense,
well painted, life like picture illustrating the
sermon on the Mount, and representing the
Redeemer saying to those about him =" Blessed
are the peace-makers for they shall be called
the children of God" What an awful comment
did that scene present upon that sacred text.

PRESERVE THE BIRDs.-We have long been of
opinion (says the Newark Daily Advertiser)
that birds are exceedingly voracious, and that
young and old among them require great guam
titles of food 1t is for men to turn this voracity
to their profit if they please. If, instead of this
they choose to crafty themselves, their sons, or
others by shooting their best friends and great
public benefactors, they can do so. But they
must make up their mind to suffer the conse-
auences. An Incredible number OF noxiuos Insects
will be then much obliged to these vagabond
marksmen. The owners of land can have birds,
or they can have destructive insects-it depends
npon them to choose which. Ifthey like vermin
on their trees and crops, the tops, the branch
es, roots, everywhere, then they will get rid OF
the birds of course. But il the pretty, singing,
hopping, chirping, flying, bright-eyed birds are
preferred 10 canker worms, curcullous, grubs,
and all manner of ugly and unsightly worms and
bugs, why then they must get rid of or punish
the bows and men that hurt the one and cause
the other to increase and multiply and devour.
They will even take particular pains to put up
boxes and houses for wrens and sparrows, and
the like. to live in and to feed those who stay :
mong us in winter.
The Bulletin of the Brussels Society, for the
protection OF animals, published the following
curious and interesting fact: Until few years
ago. the Park at Brussels was shaded by trees Of
luxurinnt foliage, which met over the alleys and
screened the promenaders entirely from the sun.
These were filed with birds, whose indiscre-
tions occasoned, now and then, little annoy
anoe to the elegant toilettes below. For this
reason they were banished. In few weeks,
the leaves of the trees were in holes and dying,
and now, the branches are almost entirely with.
out verdure, and loaded with caterplars, and
the walks infested with moths.
