[From the Gcrtnau.] THE LEFT EYE. A rich' old man; who resided at the extremity 6i ihe camp, quite apart from the rest, had three daughters, the youngest of whom, named Kook ju, was as muolrdistiriguished for her beauty as fpr extraordinary wisdom. One morning as he was about driving his cat tle for sale to the Chan’s market-place, he beg ged bis daughters to tell him what presents they wished him to bring them on his return. The tii-o.eJdcsta.sked him for trinkets', but thehand some and wise Kookju said that she wanted no present, but that she had a request to..make," which it-would be difficult arid even dangerous’ for him to execute. Upon which the father, Who loved her more than the two. others, swore that he would do her wish though it was the price, of his life. . “ If it be so,” replied Kookju, “ I beg you to do as follows: sell your cattle except the short tailed ox, and ask no other price for it except the Chari’s left eye.” The old man was startled: however, remembering Iris’ oa:h, arid confiding in his daughter’s wisdom, he resolved to do as she bade him! After having sold all his cattle, and being asked the price of the short-tailed ox, he said that he .Would sell if for nothing else than the Chaff’s.left eye. The report of this singular and daring request soon rea'ched the ear of the Uhari’s courtiers; At first they admonished him not to use such an offensive speech against the sovereign i but when, found, that he persevered m his strange'demand, they bound him and carrieAhira as a madman,; before the Chan. The Old man threw himself at the prince’s feet, and confessed that, his-demand had been made at . the request Of his daughter, whose motives he was perfectly ignorant of; and the Chan, suspecting that some secret must be hidden under this extraordinary request; dis missed the old man, under the condition that lyr would-bring him that daughter who had made it. Kookjii appeared, and the. Chan asked— f‘ Why dost thou instruct thy father to de ftnd'tnv loff ——^;—- “Because I expected, my prince, that after SO strange a request, curiosity would urge thee to send (or me.'' “ And wherefore dost thou desire to sec Mo?”. ? , “I wish to tell the a.-trutb important to thy self and thy people.” “ Name it.” - “ Prince,.’replied Kookju, “when.two per sons appear before thee-in a Cause, the wealthy and the noble igenerally stand on thy Tight hand, while the poon-and humble stand onjhy left. I ’have heard in my solitude that thou most frequently favOrest the noblcand the rich. This is the reason why I pursuaded my father to ask for thy left eye; it being no use to thee, since thou never seest the poor and unprotect ed.” ■ Tho.Clian, incensed and surprised at the da r,ng of this maiden.commanded his court to tty her. The court .was opened, and the pres ident, who was the eldest Lama; proposed that 10 V should try whether her strange proceedings Was the effect of malice or wisdom. ' T E K if S . < I Was down' to'sec tlio'widowVrsfcriTay said Tim’s uncle, and she gave-me dinner. I wont down rather early iin the morning ; wo talked, and laughed, and chatted:and'run.bn, she go ing out and iri occasionally, till dinner was ready, when she helped mo graciously to pig eon pie. Now I thought Tim was rather fa vorable. _ I took it as, a symptom of personal, approbation, because everybody knows I love pigeon pie, and I flattered myself she had cook ed it on purpose for me. So I grew particular---! ly cheerful,'and.thought I could see it -in her-,' too. So after dinner, while sitting close beside the window. I fancied we both felt comfortable like—l know I did. I felt,that I had fallen over‘head imd ears in love with her, and-1 im agined from tlie way she looked she had. fallen in love with me. :-She appeared just for all the world its-if she thought it was a coming—i hat. I was a going to court her.. Presently—l laid my hand softly on her beautiful shoulder, and I retriarked when I placed it there in my blandest tones, Tim, for I tried to throw, my whole soul Into the expression, I remarked then, witli my eyes pouring love, troth, arid fidelity, right in to hers: , , .. “Widow, this is the - niSest; Softest place I eVer had my hands-on in all iny life !” Looking benevolently at me. and at the same time flushing-up a little,she said, in melting and winning tones— ‘.‘Doctor, give mriypur hand, and I’ll put it on a triuen softer place. ” In a moment, in rapture, I consented and ta king my hand, she gently,'very'gently, Tim, and quietly, laid it on my head—-and burst in to a laugh that’s ringing in my ears yet. Now, Tim, I haven’t told this to a living soul but you, and, bji jinks !. you musent; but I ooulden’f hold iri any longer, so I tell you ; but mind,it musnVgo any further.

Kookju threw-it into the water and soon knew the answer, on seeing the root sinking, while the (op rose-to the surface. After this they sent her two snakes, in'order to determine which was a thale and which was a female. The wise maiden laid them ion cot ton and seeing that One coiled herself up in a ring, while the 'other crept away, she judged the latter wag a male and the former a female. From these trials the court was convinced that Kookju had hot oilended the Chan from motives of malice, bu t the inspiration of wisdom granted her from above. But not so the ChatiV his vanity was hurt; and he resolved, to puzzle ter wj'th, questions, in order to prove that she was not (vise. -He, therefore, ordered her before him, and asked: “ On sending a number, of maidens into the wood to gather apples, which, of them will bring home most?” ' , “ She,” replied Kookju, “who, instead of climbing tip the trees, remains below arid pinks up those which have fallen off from maturity or’ the shakingpf the branches.” The Chan then led. herto a feriee, and asked her which would be the readiest way-to'get overand Kookju said, “(o cross it would be nearest, going round the farthest.” ■ The Chan felt vexed at the readiness and pro tpriety of her. replies; and having reflec led for some lime he again inquired : ’ “ Which is the safest means of becoming known to many \ 1 “ By assisting many that arc unknown.” “ Which is the surest means of lending a vir tuous life V’ ■ ‘ ’ ’ “ To begin every morning with prayer, and conclude every evening with some good action.” “ Who is truly wise 1” ' “ He who does noj believe himself so.” “ 'Which are the requisites for a good wife?” “ She should he heautiful as a peahen, gentle as a lamb, prudent as a mouse, just as a faith ful mirror, pure as the scales of a fish'; slie must mourn for her deceased husband like a she-camel, and live in her widowhood like a bird which has lost its lyings.” The Chan, was astonished at tli'e wisdom of the, fair Kookju : yet, enraged at her- having reproached him with injustice, he still wished to .destroy her. After a few.days’ he thought he had found the means of attaining his object. . He sent fof her and asked her to determine the true worth of all. his. treasures ; after which he promised to absolve her from malice in questioning his justice, and to admit that she'intended,-as a wise woman, merely to warn him. . Tho raaiden consented, yet under the condi • tion that the Chan would promise implicit obe dienoe-to her commandsfor four days. She re quested that he would eat no food during that time. . On the last day she placed a dish pf meat.’before him and said, “Confess, 0 Chan! that all thy treasures are not worth as much as' tins joint of meat!” The Chan was so struck with the. truth of Her remark that he confessed tlie truth Of it, acknowledged her as wise, mar ried her to Ins son, and permitted her constant ly to remind him to use his iefl eye.

The happiness of this world is not so une qually distributed as many imagine; the rich have hot all.the privileges, nor the poor all tho privations.

Tho artisan going from his wearisome labor to, his humble house, as he meets the love-lit smile of his wife, ami takes his, fair and healthy child upon his knee, knows'a thrill of sweeter joy than the most lavish expenditure of gold upon costly stimulants can bring the jaded mind of the epicurean in pleasure.

If ho loves his bride, and’she him, they need not covet the situation of those whoso love of rival sliip, “ pride of-place” havodnost likely-driven out siniple, heartfelt happiness.- The radiant smile of affection, and the' clear glance, of unsullied virtue, are ornaments abpye price, and' wili make the face of a woman beau tiful even .in its.old. age.‘ -' .., .So the working-man father,', looking around 1 , upon.his blooming children,, js conscious that -that their intellecfis'Ak'keen, their perceptions as ready, as those bf. tho nabob’s upon the next street; and‘ho determines they shall liavo simi lar advantages.

They arc m’cossary to cap the climax of scholastic dignity and ecclesiastical worth in the eyes of the ignoble crowd. -But-we all know that* “ familiarity begets’ contempt-;” and the lavish rate at which doc torates have been conferred of late years is cer tainly nut calculated to enhance their value.— * If this stale of. things continues, the question will soon be, not “Who is a doctor?” but “Who is not a doctor?” and-the untitled man will bo the more remarkable, and therefore in a measure, the niore honorable of the two. This fact is already beginning to be felt;-so much so that some of our clergy have even declined the, proffered degree. * The -market has been glutted, and as a necessary consequence the de mand has; in a- measure ceased. .Moreover, it is not atone the-numbe-r of those who have been made doctors, blit in many cases their manifest unfitness, that has brought .the’ d-tgree -into• disrepute. It was .recently staled in, the Congrcgalionalisl, that a,letter had been received, from a gentleman created Doctor, of Divinity this summer, which abounded in errors of spelling. graniihar,* and punctuation. Such cases are not fare ; and even when there is no such gross ignorance of the rudimentary branch: cs; there is too often, a lack of that higher learn ing winch distinguishes a man above his fel lows. If. the title Of .Docrort means anything, it means learned men, and should be bestowed only where there is learning to justify it. It behooves uur Colleges’ and Universities to see,to this, and in conferring, their honors to use more discrimination than’ they. have done during the, past three or four years. A degree is very properly-bestowed upon such as are id ally eminent* for scholarship-oil.theological acu men; It is p toicen that the worldappreciatcs their labors, and respects assiduity and talent. But the moment that such honors become in significantly reason of their commonness, or being -conferred through personal feelings cc.ase to be the rewards of special merit, they are a mere nullity, and might better ; be entirely ab rogated. -It is the duty of every, Trustee utter ly to ignore friendship and'favor’in,this matter; and* to be governed exclusively by high aiid honorable principle. No matter how popular a min may be, no matter how prominent a po sition he may occupy, no: matter how* much lie may have done for. this denomination or that institution, he .should'not fur any such reason merely be'dignified, with an honorary degree;— |- Proficiency*In law, theology*; science, language,* or.gcnbral;;!eiq-nmg,. sfippht*_be• a.
