E@ Brave Soldier.


THE following paragraphs are from aspeeeh
by the celedrated John B. Cough.
It is very seldom that wemeet anything more
touching and eloquent His feelings for our
brave soldiers are such as peryade every true
American heart:
In walking through one d hospitals
yesterday, and standing up to those men,
was completely unnamed. Ny voice quiv-
cred, my eyes were filed with tears, and my
heart throbbed almost to bursting. For some
time I was unable to speak Oh, they are
heroesI They are worlds heroesI IteI you,
when I look at a man who gives his life for
his country, look at a true patriot IhonOr
such man; aye, with the profoundest honor.
The United States uniform, however ragged
and if is the more infuential-it is at once
a passport to my heart.
I tell you, my friends, thank God live
to-day. though it is a day Of darkness, a day
Of war; and when I pass through the coun-
try, and at every station see long boxes lifted
out, station after station, weeping friends
ready to take away the body, covered with
the flag Of our country, to bury it in the homo
sepulehre, my heart is sad but over the grave
Of these heroes We will erect a monument 10
tell men how they died, where they died, and
for what they died, and there Is a generation
that will come to stand, with heads uncover
ed, by the grave Of the dead soldiers Of the
campaign in this day.

INCREASE OF RATs-The Farmers Gazette,
English asserts and proves by figures that one
pair of rats will have a progeny and descend
ants amounting to no less than 65l $50 in
three years. Now, unless this immense family
can be kept down, they would then consume
more food than would sustain 65, 600 human
beings 1t viii be tar wiser in the farmer
to turn his attention to the destruction Of rats
than Of small birds
Certainly it will. Whoever. engages m
shooting small birds is cruel man; whoever
aids in eXterminating rats is a beneiactor.
We should like some Of our correspondents
to give US the benefit of their experience in
successfully driving out these pests. We need
something besides dogs. cats, ard traps for
this business.-Eds. Scientific 4msr.
~ We can give our experience in a very. few
words. "Costar's" Rat Ertsrmi1ator is the

it, properly prepared according to directions,
will eat it, and every one that eats it will die
generally at some place as distant as possible
from where the medicine was takeu.-L0ks

THE indefatigable and ever-welcome J.
Ross Browne concludes, in the March
numberzof Haper's his sketches, Of
travel in Iceland, illustrated with num-
Der of pleasing pictures including his
"caris de risite," which, barring little
eKacserstion, is a very good portrait Of a
writer to whom the readers of Harper's
are indebted for great deal of entertain
ing reading. Mr.. LOSING gives, with
eopious Illustrations, an elaborate account
of the continental Money" showing
the peculiarities of the antetyPes of
"Greenbacks." Musicians of Field
and Meadow, is an article about birds,
by Mrs. Taylor, than whom no one can
write more pleasingly on natural history.
From Mr.. Siddons's European Souv-
enirs" we borrow this bit of
HISTORY OF THE VERNON GALLERY.
The history of the Vernon Gallery is
singular. Mr.. Vernon had no particular
taste for pictures. He was rich, and lent
money. One of his debtors, who resided
near him, had failed to fulfill his bond
Vernon put an execution on his house
While the baiIiffs were in occupation the
poor heart-broken debtor died Vernon
went to the house to see whether the
property, when disposed Of, would cover
the amount of his claim. He saw some
fine pictures on the walls; he also saw
the wailing widow. Struck by her beau
ty, and commiserating her grief, he sus-
pended hostile operations, and desired
she would continue at. her abode. He
renewed. his visits; each time he was
more pleased with the widow and when
a decent period had elapsed he declared
himself enamored of her, and said that if
she would become his wife not a chattel
she had been accustomed to see in her
house should be removed All should
be transferred to her new dwelling, The
widow-Iong obdurate-melted, and Yer
non became the owner of the pictures.
He had favorite nephew-Heath, the
optician - living with him. 1 knew
Heath--a man of cultivated taste. Yer
non asked him about the pictures-their
value-their painters. Heath took the
opportunity Of dwelling upon the claims
Of artists to munifcent patronage, and
told his uncle that no more noble use
could be made of the gifts of fortune
than the encouragement Of painting.
Vernon took the hint at once, gave COM
missions to various artists of the highest
repute, and soon accumulated that noble
collection which is now public property
and bears the name Of the donor.
In juztapositiOn with the Vernon gift
is the donation of Mr.. Sheepshanks. This
gentleman, a Lancashire cotton spinner,
had cultivated a taste for the arts for
soue years. Not very long ago he be-
game the purchaser Of a-charning picture
representing Marie Antoinette mending
he coat Of Louis XVI in the Temple.
The painter being a royal Academician,
he painting was exhibited at the Nation
i Gallery. The Queen saw it, and at
