A rich old man. who resided at the ex tretnity of the camp, quite apart from th< jrest, had three daughters, the youngest o whom, named Kookju, was as much distin guishod for her beauty as for Iter extra >rdi ntuy wisdom, One morttng, as he was about diking hi cattle tor sale to the Chan's market place be begged his daughters to tell him wha present* they wished him to bring them 01 bis return. The two eldest asked him fo trinkets, but the handsome and wiseKoobji ?!J !.?* .It. wan??.l nn niMpnl. hut tlia ho had a request to make which it woulJ be difficult, and uven dangerous for him t execute. Upon which the father, who |ov ed her more than the two other*, swore thn he would do her wish, h iglt it wa* at th price of his lite. " It' it be ho," replica koobje, " I beg you U> do as follows: sej your cattle except tha short-tailed ox. an< ask no other price for it except tho Chan' 4 left eye," The old man was startled ; how A ever, remembering his oath, and confidinj in bis daug :hte?'s wisdom, he resolved to d< aa she bade him. After hoeing sold all Use cattle, and la fog netted the price of the short-tailed ox. h * eaid that be would sell it for nothing el1 thai the Chan's left eve. The repuW < thta ringalar and daring request soon reiwj ed ftfcn ear of the Chan's courtier*. At fin they admonished him not lo use such an offensive speech against the sovereign; hut when they found that he preaeverod in his strange demand, they bound him, and carried him, aa a madman, before the Chan. Hie old man threw himself at the prince's /bet, and confessed that bis demand had been made at the request of his daughter, whose motives he was perfectly ignorant of; and the Chan, suspecting that some secret mast be hidden under this extraoidinary reJuest, dismissed the old man. under the conition that he would bring hitn that daughter who had made it. Kookju appeared, and the Chan asked, w Why dost thou instruct thy father to demand my left eye !n " Because I expected my prince, that after so strange a request, curiosity would urge thee to send for roe." " And wherefore dost thou desire to see rue!" 441 wish to tell tlice a truth important to thyself and people." 44 Name it." 44 Prince," replied Kookju, 44 when two peraons appear before thee in a cause, the wealthy and the noble generally stand on thy right hand, while the poor and humble stand on thy left. I have heard in n?y soli* tude that thou most frequently favorest the noble and rich. This is the reason why I persuaded my father to ask for thy left eye, it being 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 was opened, and the president, who was the eldest Lama, pto posed that they should try whether her strange proceeding was the eff??ct of malice or wisdom. The first step was to send to Kookju a log of wood, cut even on all sides, ordering her to find out which was the root and which the top. Kokju threw it into the water and soon knew the answer, on seeing the root sinking, while the top rose to the surface. After this they sent her two snakes, in order to de ermine which was a male and which was a female. The wise maiden laid them on cotton, and seeing that one coiled herself up in a ring, whilst the other crept awar, she judged the latter was a male and the forn.er a female. Fmm 1 KikA triul* lliA Anllrt nai mnniniuul (hat Kookju had not offended the Chan from motive* of malice, but the inspiration of wisdom grnnted her from above. But not to with the Chau ; hi* vanity was hurt; and he resolved to puzzle her with questions, in order to prove that she wan not wine.? He, therefore, ordered her before him, and naked : 44 On sending a number of maidena into the wood to gather apples, which of them will bring home moet ?" , 44 8he," replied Kookju, 44 who, instead of climbing up the tree*, remains below and picks up tboee whicii have fallen off from maturity or the shaking of the branches.*4 The Chan then led her to a fence, and asked her which would be the readiest way to get over ; and Kookju said 44 to cross it would be the farthest, ?oing round nearest." The Chan felt vexed at the readiness and propria y of her replies ; and having reflected for some time he again inquired : 44 V hich is the safest means of becoming know n to many ?" 44 T.v assisting many that are unknown. 44 Wi>ii is thr> surest maans of leading a virtuous lite I" 44 To begin every morning with prayer, * and conclude every evening with some good action.** 44 Who is truly wise !"

After a few days he thought he had found 1 the means for attaining his object. He sent t for her and asked her to determine the true r worth of all his treasures ; after which he J promised to absolve her from malice in ques? ' tioning lii* justice, find admit th*t she ini tended, m a wise woman, merely to warn * him. The maiden consented, yet under the 1 condition thnt the Chun would promise im 9 plieit obedience to her command* for four ' dava. She requested thnt he would ent no ' f>.?d during thnt time. On the last dnv ?hc ^ placed a Hi-li of meat tiefore him and ?nid. * " Confe-s, O Chan ! that all thv treasure* are * not worth na much n* this joint of meat P $ The Chan was so struck with the truth of 0 h?r renvrk that he confessed the truth of It, acknowledged her a* wise, married her to > hit non, and permitted her constantly to ree inind him td use hi* left eye.

A cheerful old gentleman, between eighty and ninety years old, says the Hartford Courant, was in our office the other day, and in tho course of the chat we asked him what was the principal practical lesson he bad learned in hi* protracted life. Said lie, M the eesenee of what I have learned, teaches me to laugh when I can, and cry when 1 must. 1 have learned, also, to beware of endorsing. The man who invented endorsing had mined tens of thousands of business men. My principal looses were caused by attempting to help other*. If an cmbarrceaed man comes to you for aid, the true course is, tell him to fail first; if fail he must, and vou will help him after his failure; and not before. The course of an embarrassed man is to stop payment promptly. It you attempt to help a man, he wil. hate you.? Men always hata those to whom they are under obligations. If you expert gratitude, you deserve ingratitude, according to the practical working of tilings." This wrs tho experience of a man, who said, also, that "one of the principal things I have learned is to take very coolly whatever come* alonir. ,-w v O The world beep* along about tho wme, no matter what happen*." We thought of what old Grant Thorburn who is now in his 85th year : He says that men are fools who are continually grumbling over a "miserable world." " I have seen as many years as most men see in this world?this day 1 enter my 88?h year?yet I am not tiled of the world, and if it so will Heaven. I would live my life over again, with all its joys and sorrows. " I think that Jacob erred when he told Pharaoh that " few and evil had been the days of his pilgrimage." "It is sixty-three years and six months since I first saw New York, coming from the hills of Scotland, where I was born. In all the period I have only been ten days confined to my house by sickness. I have ?haied in the trials of life and tho vicissi tudes of business, but never grieved for los ses in trade. When a draft tor $500 came back protested, I rejoiced because it w as not a thousand. If I bruised my arm I thanked God that it was not my neck. In times of trouble, if we look around wo will see millions in a worse condition than ourselves. Therefore we ought to be thankful.- I never felt a rheumatic pain. I walked without a staft. I sleep without rocking ; and cat my food without the help of brandy and bitters. Mine eyes fail, but this defect is greatly mitigated by borrowing the young eyes of my partner for life. She is an excellent reader; is ever by mv side; soothing my Dath to the hsnlr* of Jordan ? ilia ?,>Ua ,.t tvbose waters are Rounding in my ears." Anecdote of Gon. Jaokson. The Mobile Mercury relates the following anecdote, which we do not remember to have read before: " In one of the Indian campaign*. wliicli is not recollected, or mateiial to our. story while the army was on the mnreh, Mill it Tennessee on its way to the scene of war it Alabama, a drafted company was expectet daily to overtake the main body of troupe The company at length reached the rear o the train. Information of their approacl was immediately carried to the front, wher< Jackson was at the time. As the meuengei passed from rear to front, the fact that hit company had coino without arms, having left their guns at home, wns made ktiowi along the whole line. It was known to th< entire army before it reached Jackson's ears Curiosity was on tip toe to know how th< irascible commander would act under sucl ciicuiiniiiii'vn, A nioriii *?!? itmicipuieu ?Soon the Genera) was observed making hi way rapidly to the rear, and, to the stf-pris. of all parlies, seeming in rather a smilim humor.

Not so, however Old Hickory nulled off his hat, and with hi politest and lowest bow. he expressed hi gratification at their arrival, and especially at the fact that they had no guns?the very men that he wanted?just as he desire* them ? without arms. Forming them f<> rapid motion, at double quick step, under hi own lead, they marched on utitH a haggag wagon was reached, then halted, and eacl man furnished with an nxe.

As they passed alonj the line or march the Ueneral's object wg seen, and laughter, loud and uproarious, witl tnanv a hearty cheer, saluted them as the; made their way to the front. There the* axe men were initiated into 'heir cnmpaigi duties. They cleared the roads, tliey bridge the creek*, or carried the wagons, piece b piece, the luggage, ainunition, 4ic., over 01 their back* when the bridges were impasai ble. They were ever in a poat of daugei Iteming the burdens of the campaign, sltar ing none of its honors?and laughing stoc] of the whole regiment." Am Eestern editor announce* the death c a ladv acquaintance, and tonehingly adds M In her decease the sick have loet an inval uahle friend. Long will she seem to stan< at their bed-side, as was her wont, with i balm of consolation in one hand and a cu| of rhubarb in the other." 44 Ir I 1)om't, Somebody Else ^ in.."? j This is the stereotyped argument of a noto- ! rious denier in whiskey when spoken to eon -1 cerning the evil that he is visiting upon the! families in his midst. lie is free to confess that his traffic is attended with constant calamities, and that lie is the cause of bringing woe nnd misery upon the heads of unoffending and helpless women and children, and that 110 good results from his trade.? 44 Hut money can be mado by selling whiskey?the people will havo whiskey?I have as much right to make money as anybody ?and if I don't sell it, somebody else will. TMs is a wonderfully pungent argument, j It might be rendered more forcible by adding?somebody else will sell anyhow, wlietli- 1 er I do or not." It is a convenient argument. "When conscience reproves the man for bis evil course it is very convenient to shelter behind the oft repeated?44 if I don't, somebody else. wilt" It is a comprehensive argument, ami may be usod with equal force to cover other shortcoming*, even ' a multitude of sins," as may be inferred?" if I don't go to the devil, somebody else will, and probably a great number will go whether I do or not." This is the pith of the entire argument. A man is not excusable in committing sin because somebody else enters upon forbidden ground. 14 Thy sins be upon thee," applies to every individual. Accidents wiiilb Shootino.?In consequence of the late melancholy accident to Mr. Piatt, M. P.. and this being the height of the shooting season. I feel induced, should you allow me, to offer through your col uinns a* a practical sportsman of 30 years experience, a few suggestions or rules to all shooters, the observance of which I fully believe wotdd prevent tnnny of the accidents that occur : First, then, I would say to every shooter, never curry your gun, under any circumstance, with vhe hammers down on the cap. 2. Never carry it on the full cock, except when expecting game to rise. 3. Never carry it with the barrel in a horizontal position. 4. Never let it bo pointed either towards yourself or any other person. 5. In going through a fer.ee, always hold it before you as nearly porpcndicular as possible, with the muzzle a little above your head. 0. Never load one barrel with the other either on the cap or at full cock. 7. Never take it home loaded, except you immediately place it under lock and key. 8. And lastly, always consider it an instrument that may take away your own or the life of your dearest friend at any time, without a mo meat's warning, and do not handle it as if there was no harm to he apprehended from it than from your walking stick or umbrella.
