A poor Arab was travelling in the desert
wien he met with a spring OF clear, spark
ling water. Accustomed as he was to brack-
ish wells, to his simple mind it appeared that
such water as this was worthy OF monarch ;
and filing his leathern bottle from the spring,
he determined to 60 and present it to the Ca
liph himself.


The poor man travelled u considerable dis.
tance before he reached the presence of his
sovereign, and laid his humble offering at his
feet The caliph did not despisc the little
gift brought to him with so much trouble. He
ordered some Of the water to be poured into a
cup, drank it, and thanking the Arab with a
smile, ordered him to be presented with re-
ward


The courtiers around pressed forward, eager
to taste of the wonderful water, but to the
surprise of all, the caliph forbade them to
touch single drop.


After the poor Arab had quilted the roya
presence, with light and joyful heart, the
callph turned. to his courtiers, and thus ex
planned the motives of his conduct {:


During The travels Of the Arab, said he
the water in this leathcrn bottle had become
impure and distasteful. But it was an offer
ing of love- and as such l received it will
pleasure. But | well knew that had sui
fered another to partake Of it, he would no
have concealed his disgust, and therefore
forbade you to touch the draught, lest tn
heart OF the poor man should have bee
wounded


All that sinners can present to their Kin!
is like The water brought by the Arab, thoug
like him we may fancy it worthy the accept
ance OF cur Lord. But he will not reject, h
will not despise the little offering of love an

All the accommodations are such as tend to

The secret sessions of Congress have
been occupied for some days in the discus

permanent during the wars.

The Government will be enabled by their

of money, and when the blockade shall
be broken, or become impracticable in the
winter season from the high winds which
will drive from our coast the enemy 8

The Paris correspondent of the New

here to be a fact, that the Confederate
Commissioners have purchased first class
steel-clad frigate for the use of this Gov

favorably entertained by Congress to pur-
chase at high prices, such foreign steam

ports. Even now this feat could be per-
formed, and during the high winds of win.

girl. sixteen years Of age, named Henri.
eta Herbert, who resided at No. 'f57 Tn.
diana street She died on the previous
day from the effects Of chilu birth. and
with her last breath detailed history Of
sin and crime which will bring a shud-
der to every virtuous mind. Her story
was substantially a. follows:


She was born in the city Of Buffalo Of
a respectable family, and educated at
fashionable boarding school. AT An ear
ly age, her sister, who is at present liv.
ing IN this city, under the assumed name
of Lou Fitch. was seduced by young
man of thst city. and brought here to
live with him as his wife. The couple
lived together until about two years ago.
when they were separated, she THROWN.
herself upon the world for support. She
hired out as a servant in a respectable
family. but, becoming discouraged, or
displeased with her situation. she again
started out in the world. Misfortune
stared her in the face. and ere long she
became an inmate of den Of infamy.
where she still remains. While living in
this manner she formed the acquaintance
of young man well known in this city
rs man of dissolute habits This per.
son was possessed of dimond ring
which was strongly coveted BY the pros
ttute. and which he promised should be.
come hers upon the condition that her
sister, who was then Twin. in Buffalo.
could be brought 10 the feet Of the sedu.
Ger. With n heart almost inhuman she
wrote a letter TO her sister informing her
that If she would come 10 the citv she
would send her to schoo. at Evanston and
and take care of her while there. Upon
! this condition Henrietta was induced 10
to come to the city. Shortly after she
was introduced BY her sister TO the
young man above referred to. He used
every art in the power of man to COM
pass her ruin. At first the cruel sister
and the hardened william were repulsed
n every effort. But she was alone in the
city, without liends and without means.
and with no one t. look To but an outcast
for assistance and support. She WAS har.
rassed on every side. and was at las,
mado to yield to the arts Of her sister and
her sedncer.

came the mother OF child. which result.

From Tennessee comes an appeal xc src
not how even the advocates Of a,l inact;,e vnr
can resist. The cry from beyond the Cum
bcrland, "Come over and help us p rises from
communities eager and burning for release
from the barbarities and infamies Of a South
crn military despotism. Tic order of Gov,
Harris to draft every second man subject to
military duty, for immediate service in the
rebel armies, has hindled flame which, if the
government do not allow it to be quenched
by its own inaction, will scorch to cindcr
the hopes oftraitors in all that section, Latest
accounts report whole counties in open revolt,
and hundreds Of Union men fleeing over the

Tennessee for separation and the military des-
potlsm OF the South seems to be a myth and
a fdsehood. There is large part Of the peo-
pie al over the State that are and have ever
been for the Onion; that notwithstanding
their seeming submission, if the time ever
arrives for them to assert their sentiments,
they will be found in full unison with loyalty
and patriotism.


The present draft is for sixty days, and is
believed to be for the defense of Columbus
and Bowling Green. Within that time the
fate Of the rebellion should be and may be
decided, and the armies Of the Government
sweep them with rcsistless force to the Gulf
