Az EASTERN SroRY.--A poor Arab,
travelling in the desert, met with a
spring OF clear sweet, sparkling water.
Used, as he was, only to brachish
wells. such water as this appea, cd to
his simple mind, worthy OF a monarch,
ana filing his leather bottle from the
spring lie determined to go and pre-
sent il 70 the caliph himself.
The poor man travelled 3 long way
before he reached the presence OF his
sovereign and laid his humble Offering
at his feet. The Caliph did not despisc
tho little Gift brought to him with 50
much trouble. lie ordered some Of
the water to be poured into a cup,
drank, and thanking the Arab, with 4
smile, ordered him to be presented
with a reward. The courticrs around
pressed forward, eager to taste the
wonderful water; but, to the surprise
Of all. the caHph forbade them to touch
q single drop,
Alter the poor man had quilted the
royal presence with light and joyful
heart. the caliph turned to his courtiors
ana thus explained his conduct: Dur
ing the travels Of the Arab, said he.
.'the water in his leathc-n bottle be
came impure ana distasteful. But it
was an offering OF love, and as such |
nave received it with pleasure. But |
we'll knew that had | suffered another
to parta>e Of it, he would not have
concealed his disgust; and, therefore, |
forbade you to touch the draught, lest
the heart Of tie poor man should have
been wounded.

SALT roR GRAss.-A correspondent
writes the American Institute Farm
crs' Club on the subject as follows:
"When | was in Australia, I noticed
that the tracks made by the drags
loaded with salt hides were always
green even in the scvcrcst times OF
the long ',bucll- ielders,' or hot winds:
charged with dust, that destroy every
thing they pass over. This led me TO
think that here was 4 solution Of the
question as to the best dressing for
grass lands; and it was here | found it.
For twelve seasons | have seen it
tried upon variety OF landsana grass

III the spring the refuse salt and

where wet-salted hides have been
slowed, is spread over the sward, and
tho young spring grass is strong ANU

of it, and eat it evenly; and tie fields
so dressed keep green when all around
is narched and dry. From the alb
