TUE LEFT EVE.

A CALMUC TALE, TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN.
A rich old man who resided at the extremity of
the camp, quite apart from the rest, had three
daughters, the youngest Of whom, named hookju,
was much distinguished for her beauty as for her
extraordinary wisdom.
One morning as he was ABOUT driving his cattle
for sale to the CHAINS marketplace, he begged his
daughters to tell hm what presents they wished
HIM to bring them on his return. The two eldest
asked him for trinkets but the handsome and
wise HOOK u said that she wanted no present, but
she had request to make which it would be diff
cult and even dangeroustor him to execute. Upon
which the father, who loved her more than the two
others, swore that he would do her wish though
it at the price of his life. eff i. be So" re-

loved, by all others who beheld her.
1T CHANGED, day, that the duke d'Uzeda,
grandee of the kingdom, Of the first rank and most
princely fortune, mentioned, in the presence of
don Salvador the great praise he had heard be-
slowed on donna Laura for her beauty and accom-
plisnments adding, that he had heard her praised
IN this manner by more gentlemen than one, who
had enjoyed the pleasure of being in her company
and that there must certainly be something very
extraordinary in woman who appeared to be so
universally admired.
This was more than sufficient for the ooirritable
and suspicious temper of don Salvador. He i'm
mediatev fastened to donna Laura, and accused
her Of imprudent and contemplate vanity assert
ing that she purposely exposed herself to the idle
gaze and applause of the other sex and after hav-
ing wound himself up by violent defamation
against coquetry, proceeded to insinuate that he
was not convinced that there might not have been
some interview, unknown to him, between the duke
and her, in which she might have played off the
100 usual arts of woman, to become the sharer of
his splendid fortune and elevated rank in Contempt
OF his own infenority, which had nothing TO plead
but sincere affection
strongly moved with indignation; but. soon recov-
ering her usual vivacity and presence of mind, she
began to rally her lover on his unreasonable susp
cons, till At length he burst from her. half enraged
and half ashamed without speaking word
He had not gone far before accident thew him in
the way of the duke, with whom he found an op-
portunity to differ; and the dispute between them
soon rose to such height (though the subject in
itself was extremely frivolous) that they drew their
swords, and don Salvador was wounded in the arm.
The duke was surprised at the captous DISPOSE
ton displayed on this occasion by don Salvador.
which he had never before observed in him; and
his curiosity was excited to discover the cause
This he at length found was jealousy, occasoned
by the praises he had bestowed on donna Laura
though he only repeated what he had heard from
others, as he himself had never seen the lady. But
now he felt himself strongly impelled to CRAFTY his
curiosity with sight Of that beauty, the influence
of which had produced such violent effects He
soon found means to be introduced into her COM
pany ; and so much he struck with the ele-
gance of her person and manner, the unaffected
nodesty Of her department. and the vivacity Other
conversation, that he thought he had not heard The
tenth part of the praise that was her due She was
in his eyes phoenix, and love took full possession
of his heart.
The following evening he publicly serenaded
her under her balcony, in a sumptuous and romantic
style, and the next day transmitted to her letter,

your cattle except the short tailed OK, and ask no
other price for it except lie Chan's left eye' The
old man was startled; however, remembering his
oath, and confding in his daughters WISDOM he re-
solved to do as she babe him
After having sold all his cattle, and being asked
for the price of the shorttailed OK he said that he
would sell for nothing else but the CHAINS left eye
The report OF this singular and daring request soon
reached the ears Of the CHAINS courtiers At first
they admonished him not to use such an offensive
speech against the sovereign but when they found
that he persevered in his strange demand, they
bound him and carried him as mailman before the
Chan. The old man threw himself at the Princes
feet and confessed that his demand had been made
at the request Of his daughter of whose motives he
perfectly ignorant and the Chan, suspecting
that some secret must be hidden under this extraor
binary request, dismissed the old man under the
condition that he would bring him that daughter
who had made it,
kookju appeared and the Chan asked ssWhy
didst thou instruct thy father to demand nv left
eye -
"Because l expected my Prince, that after so
strange request, curiosity would urge thee to send
for me-"
6 And wherefore dost thou desire to see me %
81 wish to tell thee a truth important to thysef
and thy people"
'Name~t -
"Prnce," replied Kookju, e'when two persons
appear before thee in a cause, the wealthy and no.
Die generally stand on thy right hand whilst the
poor and humble stand on thy left have heard
in my solitude that thou most frequently fayourest
the noble and rich. This is the reason why per
suaded my father to ask for thy Left Eye; it be.
ing Of no use to thee, since thou never seest the
poor and unprotected
The Chan, incensed and surprised at the daring
of this maiden, commanded his court to try her
The court opened, and the president, who was
the eldest Lama, proposed that they should try,
whether her strange proceeding the effect of
malice or of zyiSG0m.
Their first step was to send to kookju log Of
wood, cut even all sides, ordering her to find out
which was the root and which the top Kooku
threw it into the water, and soon knew the answer,
on seeing the root sinking, whilst the top rose to
the surface.
After this they sent her two snakes, in orderto de-
termine which male and which female. The
wise maiden laid them on cotton, and on seeing that
one coled herself up in ring, whilst the other
crept away, she judged that the latter was a male
and the former female
From these trials, the court was convinced that
Kook jul had not offended the Chan from motives of

ma Laura and, in the first heat of his passion &C
cused her Of coquety, inconsistency and self-inter
est. She received his attack with calmness, and
thus addressed him.
"See what evil consequence it is to be the slave
OF your passions Your unreasonable and absurd
Jealousy has brought you the thing you feared,
and which did not exist till produced by your sus-
picion and imprudence. If I consent to be advanc-
ed to the first rank, both in dignity and fortune,
that the country in which | live affords, next to
the throne, you will accuse of INCONSISTENCY but
who SO inconstant as the man who is continually
changing from the influence Of suspicious which
have no foundation, and passions which he cannot
govern The world will certainly not condemn
me for preferring honors and wealth to jealousy
and violence. Take that lctter-it is from YOUR II
val the duke-and learn the full extent of your dan
ger"
Don Salvador took it and read. The splendid
offers it contained he conceived already accepted
by Laura, and he sunk into an almost lfeless state
of depression and dependency. At length, some
what recovering himself, he said
81 am now convinced of my folly--of my madness.
| only am to blame. Though we part forever, may
blessings, far superior to the rank and fortune to
which you aspire, go with you and do me the JUS
tice to remember, that however imprudent my pas
sion was ardent and sincere, and that its extrava-
gance alone caused me to lose you.'
Laura approached him with smile Come

case is indeed desperate, and requires desperate

Immediately bestow my hand and my heart on GU,
and not on the duke. We will be united, never to

sue from lightly yielding to, and encouraging

The marriage of Don Salvador and Laura was
Immediately celebrated The Duke de Uzeda him
self admired and applaudcd the constancy of the
lady ; and her lover, becoming husband became
better able to moderate the violence of his pas
sions.

When these people perceived how
pale and frighteG he was. they gave
hun some wine which they had in a
flaggon, and used all the means they
could devise to restore him to him
self. As soon as he recovered his
recollection, he inquired it they had
noticed where the gentleman had
gone with whom he bad been walk
ing. He was very much agitated
when these good people informed him
that no ore was with him when he
passed under the trees where they
were at work neither had a single
individual been in his company since
he came in their sight, aud they had
observed him some distance before
he reached them. They added,
moreover, that whom he passed, it
struck them as being somewhat sim

Engaged in apparent conversation,

learning this went Immediately home,

the story was noised abroad, it was
publicly asserted all over the city

man, and an advocate, and related
the circumstance to me as have de-

Patent Elastic Saddles.

WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part just
and general one, and is really great grie.
varCe to those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn his mpd par.
ticularly to that subject, with ayiew, ii
possible, to remedy ths evil. He can
with confidence assure The public that he
has accomplished it. The planprojected
is by means OF strong and well tempered
steel springs, so constructed as tossupport
The saddle seat and give much greater ease
TO beth rider and horse, than saddles made
IN the common way or any other that he
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely different from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars of steel
whalebone, sc. and also from those with
wire springs, and he conceives much su-
perinr to either, as the elasticity is great.
er, and the tree not being put out OF its o.
riginal form, wi i'll not be subject 10 hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
of in the saddles with spring bars. A
number Of gent kmen have those saddles
now in use, and but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF thei; superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable TO
LADIES' saddles as to gentlemen's. In
point Of durability they will be warranted
equalto any other saddles and superior to
most, !, JAMES VANSANT.
