Love Rewarded

A poor Arab travelling in the
dessert met with spring of sweet
water, which, to one accustomed tC
brackish water, seemed worthy of
a monarch. Accordingly, he filed
his leathern bottle with 1t, and
carried 1t some distance to his chief,
the caliph, and laid the humble
offering at his feet. Tne caliph
tasted of it and gave the man re.
ward but he refased to let the
other officers taste the water.
though they pressed him for the
privilege When the poor man
had gone, the caliph explained that
the wafer had become impure and
disagreeable by beng carried 80
long in tho skin bottle, and he
feared that if they tasted Of it they
would express their disgust and
wound the feelings of the poor
man. He rewarded not the value
of the water, but the love ex.
pressed in bringing 1t.

regularly now to pay for the hack
when the time comes.-N. 7. Sun
