The ARABS GIFT.--A poor Ar.,s, was travel.
ing In the desert, when he met with spring
OF clear, sweet, sparkling water. Accustomed
as ne was to brackish wells, to his simple
mind. it appeared that such water as this was
worthy OF a monarch ; and filing his leathern
bottle from the spring, he determined to po
ana present it to the caliph himself. The
poor man travelled considerable distance be.
lore ne reached the presence of his sovereign.
and laid his humble Offering at his feet. The
caiiph did not despise the little gift bropobt
him with so much trouble He OF dered some
OF the water TO be poured into cup and
thanking the Arab with smile, ordered him
70 De presented with reward. The cour-
tiers around pressed forward, eager to taste of
the wonderful water, bnt to the surprise of all.
the caliph forbade them to touch even sin.
gle drop. iaE .saalbai d,
After the poor Arab had quilted the ROYAL
presence with light and joyful heart, the ca
liph turned to Ii.s courtiers, and explained the
motives of his conduct .sDurIng the travels
OF the Arab" said he, athe water in this
leathern bottle had become impure and dis
tasteful. But it was an offering of love. and
as such have received it with pleasure. Bat
well knew that had l suffered another TO
partake OF it, he would not have concealed his
disgust; and therefore forbade you to touch
the draught, lest the heart of the poor man
should have been wounded. -
All that sinners can present their King is
Ike the water brought by the Arab, though
like him, we may fancy it by the accep-
tance of our Lord. But He will not reject.
DE VIII not despise the little offerings of love
and faith; for He hath promised that seven
cup of cold water given in the name of
ilsclple, shall in no wise lose its reward.''

man whose name it bears. In the location Of
this camp, which was made by Judge {now
Adiutant General} A. C. Fuller, unnder orders
from the Governor, the most careful reference
was paid to the great leading features Of its
ease Of access, nature Of site, extent Of area,
and abundant supply Of water. Previous to
the location Of this camp, the various regi-
mcnts had been quartered at different points
in and about the city, known respectively as
s'Camp Douglas" {south Of the present camn),
Scamp Long," "Camp Mu1lig5an,' Scamp
Fremont eCamp Ellsworth Scamp Ma
ther,'' tCamp Webb" DC, &c. In septem-
Der last, Governor Yates, In pursuance Of the
provisions Of 4 law passed at the preceding
extra session Of the Legislature, ordered this
camp to be located ut Chicago, and designated
the counties Of Lake, 3fcHenry, Boone, Win
