THE ARABIAN IIoRsE.-A most moving
incident, Illustrative of the extraordinary
strength as we'll as attachment Of the Arabian
horse is given by Lamartine in his beautiful
Travels in the East
Gan Arab chief, with his tribe, had at
tackled, in the night, a caravan of Damas,
and plundered it. When loaded with their
spoil, however, the robbers were overaken
on their return by some horsemen OF the
Pacha of Acre, who killed several, and bound
the remainder with cords. In this state Of
bondage they brought one of the prisoners
named Abou ell Marck, to Acre, and laid him
bound hand and foot, wounded as he was,
at the entrance to their tent, as they slept
during the night. Kept awake by the pain
Of his wounds, the Arab heard his horses
neigh at little distance, and being DESTROYS
to stroke for the last time the companion of
his life, he dragged himself, bound as he
was, TO his horse, which was picketed at a
little distance. Poor FRIEND said he, what
will you do among the Turks? You will
be shut up under the roof of khan, with
the horses of pacha or an aga; no longer
will the women and children of the tent
bring you barley, camel's milk, or dourra,
in the hollow of their hand no longer will
you gallop free as the wind of Egypt in the
desert; no longer will you cleave with
your bosom the waters of the Jordan, which
cool your sides, pure as the foam of your
lips. If am to be a slave, at least may you
60 free Go: return to our tent, which you
know so well; tell my wife that Abou ell
Marck will return no more; but put your
head still into the folds of the tent, and lick
the hands of your beloved children With
these words, as his hands were tied, he I'M
did with his teeth the letters which held the
courser bound, and set him at liberty but
the noble animal, on recovering his freedom,
instead of bounding away to the desert, bent
its head over its master, and, seeing him IN
letters and on the ground, took his clothes
gently in his teeth, lifted him up, and set of
at full speed towards home. Without ever
resting, he made straight for the distant but
well-known tent in the mountains of Arabia.
He arrived there in safety, and laid his mas
ter safe down at the feet of his wife and
children, and Immediately dropped down
dead with fatigue. The whole tribe mourn
ed him; the poets celebrated his fidelity 3;
and his name is still constantly in the mouths
of the Arabs of Jericho"
This beautiful anecdote paints the man
ners and horses of Arabia better than a thou
sand volumes. 1t is unnecessary to say, af-
ter it, that the Arabs are and ever will be the
first horsemen, and have the finest race OF
| horses in the world.

FACTS FOR FARMERs.-There are some
things that farmers should know.
1t is an error to plant seeds from State
further South. In cold season only the
seed from cold climate will ripen we'll.
Often breaking up surface keeps soil
state, enriching showers run off and the sa-
lubrious air cannot enter.
Weeds exhaust the, strength Of the ground
and if suffered to grow may be called gar
den sins.
The hand and the hoe are the instruments
for eradicating weeds; yet if there is room
between the rows for the spade it is we'll to
use it.
Never keep your cattle short; few far
mers can afford it. If you starve them they
will starve you.
1t will not do to hoe great field for
little crop, or to NOW twenty acres for five
loads of hay. Enrich the land and it will
pay you for it. Better farm thirty acres
well, than fifty acres by halves.
In dry pastures dig for water on the brow
Of hill springs are more frequently near
the surface on helght than IN vale.
Rain is cash to farmer.
The foot of the owner is the best manure
for land
Cut bushes that you wish to Destroy in
the summer, and with sharp instrument,
they will bleed freely and die.
Never plough in bad weather; or when
the ground is very wet.
Accounts should be kept, detailing the ex-
penses and product of each field.
When an implement is no longer wanted
for the season, lay it carefully aside, but
first let it be we'll cleaned.
Obtain good seed, prepare your ground
well, sow early, and pay very little atten-
ton to the moon.
Cultivate your own heart Alright; remem-
bering that "whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall lie also reap"
Do not begin farming by building an ex-
tensive house, nor spacious barn, till you
have something to store in it.
Avoid low damp site for dwelling
house. Build sufficiently distant from your
barn and stock yard to avoid accidents by
fire.
Keep notes Of all remarkable events on
your farm.
Recording even your errors will be be-
nef..

THE CROSS AND THE GROWN.
BY REV. T. II. STOCKTON.

/ see Him on Cavalry, and not an atom
trembles. see Him nailed to the wood.
see His upward look of plying love, and
hear His prayer-"Father forgive them,
they know not what they do!'' see Him
hanging, faint, in the MONDAY darkness
hear his last cry-'lt is fnishedn' and see
His head fall upon His bosom in death.
Sudden as the shock of the earthquake
my soul thrills with the truth Quick as
the rending of the veil of the temple, the veil
Of my mind is parted, and the glory Of God
shines in upon it.
see that there was one sacrifice too
great for Christ to make! He was willing
to leave the Throne of the Universe for the
manager of Bethlehem willing to grow up
as the son of poor carpenter ; willing to
be called the companion of publicans and
sinners; willing to be watched with jeal-
Gus eyes and slandered by lying tongues,
and hated by murderous hearts, and betray-
ed by friendly hands, and denied by pledged
lips, and rejected by apostate priests and
deluded populace and cowardly princes );
willing to be sentenced to the cross, and to
carry the cross, and bleed, and groan, and
thirst, and die On the cross,-but he was not
willing to wear all earthly crown, or robe,
or WELD ali earthly sceptre, or exercise
earthly rule! That would have been too
great sacrificed! He did, indeed, endure
the crown of thorns, and the cast-oif purple
and the reed, and the cry-':IIai, King of
the JeWsn' But this was merely because
lie preferred the mockery TO the reality so
pouring infite contempt on the one, not
only by rejecting it in the beginning OF His
ministry, bat also by accepting the other at
its close.
A Godlike sacrifice! see it. see it..
The blood of Christ was an atonement for
the sins of the world ale was wounded
for our transgressions, He was bruised for
our lniquilies, the chaslisement of our peace
was upon Him, and by His stri pes we are
healedn'
see it. His burial hallowed the tomb !;
the breaking of the seal on His sepulchre
was the breaking of the seal on every Sc
pulchre; the ascension of His humanity to
Heaven, is the warrant of our ascension :;
and lis entire and eternal perfection, exalted
as it is, star above all princi pality, and pow
er, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named not only in this world,
but also in that which is to come," is the
assurance of our own perfection, in all the
honors of joint-heirship with Him in the
many mansioned House of His Father,
where he has ''gone to prepare place. for
