The Arabs Proof.

= a P 81 ~
Some years aga Frenohman, who, like
many of his cOuntrylnen, had won a high
rank among men of science, yet who denied
the God who is the author of all science, was
crossing the Great Sahara in company with
an Arab guide. He noticed with sneer that
at certain times his guide, whatever obstacles
might arise, put them all aside, and kneeling
on the burning sands, called on his God
Day after day passed, and still the Arab
never failed, till at last one evening the phi
lOsopher, when he arose from his knees, ask
ed him with contemptuous smile, % how do
you Know there is God" The guide fixed
his burning eye on the scoffer for moment
in wonder. and then said, solemnly, :" how do
know there is God? How did know
that man and a camel passed my hut last
night in the darkness? Was it not by the
print of his foot in, the sand? Even SO, -
; and he pointed to the sun, whose last rays
: were flashing over the lonely desert, '.tliat
footprint is not that Of man!'

About thirty-fve years ago, there re-
sided in the town of Hebron a certain DR.. T.
who became very much enamorcd of a beau
it'll young lady in the same town. In due
course of time they were engaged to be mar
ried. The doctor was a strong and decided
. Presbyterian, aud his lady love as strong and
decided Baptist They were sitting to-
gether one evening talking of their approach
ing nuptials, when the doctor remarked:
Il am thinking, my dear, CT two events
which shall number among the happiest of
my life
And pray what may they be, doctor?"
&C One is the hour, when l shall call you
my>wife for the first time
g And the other, if you please?"
q Is when we shall present our first born
to baptism"
g What, sprinkling?"
Yes, my dear, sprinkIing" ...r
Never shall child Of mine be sprinkled."
Every child of mine shall be spginkled."
They shall be, hey ?''
:. Yes, my love-"
Well sir, I can tell you then, that your
babies won't be my babies. So good night,
sir"
The lady left the room, and the doctor left
the house, The sequel to this true story was
that the doctor never was married, and the
lady is an old maid.

FEEDING SOLDIERS,

When we are informed that the daily
rations of Prussiau soldier consists of u
pound of meat, sufficient quantity Of
bread and vegetables, coffee, a reasonable
supply OF brandy and some segars, we are
not surprised at his fighting SO well. Pluck
depends great deal on diet, aud if sol>
d'er is not well fed, fighting goes against
his stomach. There is little reason to
doubt that the South failed in her struggle
from the poverty Of her commissary and
qnartermaster departments, And had it
been possible to feed our soldiers at tho
conclusion OF tho war as we'll rs at the
commencement, there is very little reason
to doubt that tho decision OF that contest
would have been far different. Good
clothes and good food have vast deal to
do with the courage and esprit de corps OF
soldiers. Our poor boys were kept ragged
and bare-footcd too long and corn bread
and sorghum soon reduced their pugnsc-
ity. .-..
Who docs not believe that our men
would have conquered if they could have
had Judicions supply of brandy and Sc
gars all during the war? Why, their
'ong'ng for these articles frequently lost
them the victory after the capture of IL
Yankee camp. Had they been supplied
with all those "knick-knacks" which are
so irresistible 10 soldier, who can affirm
that wa would have been beaten !? Sar-
dimes, crackers, cakes, cheese, wLiskey, cof.
fee, sugar, aud all these iunumerable at
fractions Of Federal camp, always prov
ed more dangerous to us than the bullets
and bayonets of the enemy. Had our
men been well supplied with all these they
would never have stopped for them, be-
cause then no novclty.-Richmond Dis

Low TO DO Up SHIRT BosoMs.-We
have often heard, says the Norfolk Virgin
ian, ladies express desire to know by
what process the iue gloss observable on
new liuen shirt bosoms, &c, is produced,
and in order to crafty them we submit the
following receipt for making gum Arabic
starch: Take two OF. fine white gum Ara.
bic powder; put it iuto pitcher, and pour
ou it pint or more of boiling water-ac-
cordiug to the degree of strength you de-
s'ro-and then having covered it, lat it set
all night in the morning pour carefully
from the dregs into clean bottle, cork it.,
and keep it for use. A tablespoonful of
gum water stirred into pint Of starch
made in the usual manner, will give to
either white or printed lawns look of
newness when nothing else can restore them
after washing. Much diluted, it is also
good for thin muslin and bobiuet. -
