Az EASTERN LEGxND.-Thc Arabs have n
pretty story concerning Nimrod, the founder of
the city OF Babylon. which is worth relating for
us suggesusencss as well as for its beauty 1t
is as follows:
On one occasion, Nimrod called bis three sons
together, for the purpose of conveying some
practical lesson, in the manner which marks
Oriental intercourse with its symbolism and ex-
pressNe imagery. To each he gave a vase
One was gold, another of amber, and the third
was earthen- On the golden vase was Inscribed
" Empire On the vase of amber, "Gloryn was
engraved. But on the third or eartben vase
there was no inscription. When the son who
held the Golden Vase looked into it. he found !,
tiled with blood. He of the Amber Vase sopobt

upon which there was no inscription was empty

A Concert by the Cows,

The american Agriculturist has SCENT stated
that certain English nobleman has suspended
a musical bell on the neck Of his cows, each
bell tuned to different note of the scale, the
whole running through several octaves,n occa-
sional harmonies of which, as the COWS come
from their pasture, have proved wonderfully
satisfactory to his family and visitors. The cd
itor of that journal reasons thus: Such har-
monic bells will add nothing to the weight OF
ones butter and cheese, but they will do some
thing just as good. They will add charm to
tarm-life, and weave around it one more of those
pleasing associations which serve to attach men
TO the country and TO the culture of the soil-
SO tune up a first rate chime of bells for your
herds" first thought on reading the'above
was that this would be rather expensive lux
ury, for our American noblemen, the farmers,
though quite rs deserving as the landholders OF
England are not in all cases as wealthy. A
second thought dispelled that difficulty; for by
recent discovery bells may now be made OF
cast iron, with no expensive admixture, and
those, too, of the very sweetest tones, at a small
COST, and not much liable TO break. Let the
bell men (those who make bells) take the hint.
If they would prepare bells turned to each note
of four or five octaves, which would not be diff
cult, the cows would bring home music as well
as milk, and there would be market for the
bell mems wares. 1t is pretty good idea

Voice1ess Verse.

This world is rife with nobler thought
Than trembles on the tongue;
The world is full of melody
Unwritten and unsung.
The music of march is sweet,
But action is sublime,
And yon may live nobler verse
Than can be told in rhyme.
Let Tyres and lutes, with tinkling breath,
To love-sick girls belong;
The rythm Of a weIl-spent life
Is sweeter far than song.
I'm weary of the waste of words
Our world were not so dead
If half our Bards would cease to write,
And live their poems instead.

dangers which envroned the Inhabitants now
attacked by some five hundred yelling and
frantic savages, may be imagined. Not hoping
to escape, the men and boys armed themselves
and awaited the attack. They were saved in
the moment of determination by dead shot
from the rifle of the eldest boy, which cut short
the life of the chief-upon which the whole
turned and took to flight. The corpse was sus-

Kneeling by the stream saw
Kate, the farmers daughter,
Drinking; in her rosy palm,
Dipping up the water.
She had thrown her bat aside,
Bare were arm and shoulder;
Each uuconcious charm displayed,
Made my love the bolder.
So slowly, tenderly,
Went and kneit beside her,
Drank with her from out the stream

And said, "The poet tells US,

Always drink together p

Like the flowing water,
But drink life's stream to-day,

The failure of the Rebels for FIVE days to
make any use of their Bull Run advantage,
proves them weaker in positive force than we
had supposed them. They gave out ratiOns for
81 coo men (includrg JohnstOn's) on the morn
