A Special Request. — Wo frankly ask all its 
friends to am in extending tbo circulation and use¬ 
fulness of the Rural. Thousands of its old sub¬ 
scribers arc already doing this, and wo trust the 
hosts who are Joining its standard tn all parts of the 
country will do u* and their neighbors the favor to 
Introduce tho paper to notice and support in their 
respective localities. Friends, please show your 
neighbors and ncqutilijtfiflcc* tin - Model Rural, Lite, 
rary and Fa mile Newspaper, and iovito them to Bub- 
scribe. Though our daily receipts probably largely 
exceed those of any other Weekly in America there

utation as a painter tn the same field of ait, In 
which Kora won a world-wide fame. A picture 
by A. Don'hefr has tbo place of honor In Knoed- 
ecu's Gallery in Now York, It is In size about 
four by five feet. There Is a great, open, rocky 
pasture hold, with a ridge of soft purple hills 
shutting off the horizon. It is nearly HUnset. A 
deft in the mountains at. tho loft, which we do 
not soo. lets in a shaft of sunshine, which falls in 
a long path across the held, throwing warmth 
and light upon two groups of cows, which are 
being driven by a herdsman. In tho foreground 
n number ot tine Du r hunts are brought m full 
relief, headed by a reddish-brown one, which has 
come up through the dclllo between the rocks, 
followed by tho others. There Is an enjoyable 
sense, of refreshment in looking at a cattlo piece 
where there Is freedom and strength of motion 
in the animals; and as In tins, a true apprecia¬ 
tion of their human nature, which is not cattle 
nature, but tho something which seems akin to 
us aud in sympathy with us when we intelli¬ 
gently appreciate an intelligent animal. For 
kintlnois gentleness', goodness, and wit tail, a scif- 
approduble dignity and self respect, one does not 
iind It in jo great a degree in all the cattle t ribe, 
as In that, of the domesticated cow. And loving 
cows, one loves to eoo them as intelligently 
treated on canvas, as Miss UONHEUH has done.
