THE LEFT EYE. Translated from the Russian.. A rich old man who had res.ded at tlx extremity of the camp, quite from the rest had three daughters, the youngest of whom named Kookju , was as much distinguished for her beauty as for her extraordinary wisdom. One morning as he was about driviisg his cattle for sale, to the Chari’s market place, he bfgged his daughters to tell him what presents they wished him to bring to them on his return. The two eldest asked him for trinkets, but the handsome and wise Kookju said that she wanted no pre sent, but that she had a request to make which it would be difficult and even dan gerous far him to execute* Upon which the father, who loved her more than the two others, swore that he would do her wish, though it were at the price of his life. “ If it be so ” replied Kookju , “ I beg you to do as follows ; sell all your cattle except the short tailed ox; and ask no other price for it except the Fhan's left eye. * The old man was startled—how ever remembering his oath and confiding in his daughter’s wisdom, he resolved to do as she bade him. After having sold all his cattle, and be ing asked for the price of the short tailed ox, he said he would sell it for nothing else than the Chau’s left eye. The re port of this singular and daring request soon reached the ears of the Chan’s cour tiers. 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 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 re quest of his daughter, of whose motives he was perfectly ignorant ; and the I han suspecting that somo secret must be hiddeu under this extraordinary request, dismissed the old man, under the condition that he would bring him that daughter who had’ made it. Koolcju appeared and the Chan asked “ \\ hy didst thou instruct thy father to de mind my left eye ? ’ “ Because I expected, my Prince, that after so strange a request, curiosity would urge thee to send for me ” “ And wherefore dost thou desire to see mel ’ “ I wish to tell thee a truth important to thyself and thy people.” “ Name it.” “Prince,” replied Koolcju, “ when two persons appear before thee in a cause, the wealthy and noble generally stand on the right hand, while the poor and humble stand on the left. I have heard in my so litude that thou most frequently favoresi the noble and rich. This is the reason why I persuaded my father to ask for thy Left Eye —it being of no use to thee, since thou never seest the poor and un protected.” 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 La ma, proposed that they should try wheth er her strange proceeding was the effect of malice or of wisdom. The first step was to send to Kookju a log of wood cut even on all sides, order ing her to find out which was the root and which the top. Kookju threw it into the water and soon knew the answer by seeing the root sinking, while the top rose to the surface -1 After which they sent her two snakes in order to determine which was a male and which a female. The wise maiden laid them on cotton, and on seeing that one coiled herself up in a ring, while the other crept away, she judged that the lat* ter was a male and the former a female. From these trials the court was convinc ed that Kookju h id not offended the Chan from motives of malice, but the inspira tion of wisdom granted her from above.— But not so the Chan, his vanity was hurt, and he resolved to puzzle her with ques tions to prove that she was not wise. He therefore ordered her before him, and ask ed : “ On sending a number of maidens into the wood to gather apples, which of them will bring home the most ‘?” “ She * replied Kookju, “ who instead -of climbing up the trees, remains below and picks up those which have fallen off from maturity or the shaking of the branches.” > The Chan then led her to a fen, and asked her which would be the readiest way to get over it- and Kookju said, to cross it would be .farthest, going round, •nearest. The ClianTelt vexed at the read iness and propriety of .her replies, and af ter having reflected for some time, he agaiu inquired: “ Which is the safest means of becom ing known to many T* By assisting many that are unknown/* “ Which is the surest means of always leading a.virtuous life 1” “To begin every morning with prayer, and concmde every evening with a good action.** *‘ Who is truly wise TANARUS” * , „ “ He who does not believe himself so ’ “ Which are the requisites of a good; wife:!” “ She should be beautiful as a pea-hen, gbut.C* as a iamb, prudent as a mouse, just as a faithful mirror, pure as the scale -J x - a fish > she must inoU j. n f or h er deceased . .U-uand like a she camel, and live m her widowhood like a bird which had lost its wings/* The Chan was astonished nt the wisdom* of the fair K ookju ; enraged at her j having reproached him with injuries, he still wished to destroy her. After a Few days be thought he had found the means for attaining his object. He sen t for her and asked her to deter mine the true worth of all his- treasures— after which, he promised to absolve hei from malice in questioning his justice, and to admit that she intended, as a wise wo man merely to warn him. The maiden consented, yet under the condition that the Chan would promise her implicit obedience to her commands lor four days. She requested that he would eat no food during that time. On the last day she placed a dish of meat before him,, uid said, 44 Confess, O Chan ! that all thy treasures are not worth as much as this j joint of meat. ’ The Chan was so struck with the truth of her remark, that he con fessed the truth of it, acknowledged her as wise, married her to his son, and per mitted her constantly to remind him to use hs Left Eye Sayings of thh Ancients. In all proba bility the ladies of ancient times wore far inferior to the modern, in every feminine grace and virtue. For, in our times, every man seems happy and p’eased itr the mar- ; riage state, and considers his wife a pattern;; but if we listen to the complaints and pre cepts of ancient sages, matrimony with them was but atrial, and a wife an affliction and a plague, Socrates used to say, that men ought to obey the laws, and women ought to con form to the habits and dispositions of their husbands, because the husband is a rule for bis wife. This ungracious remark would never have eseaped from him, if Xantippe had not been a scold and somewhat defi cient in that decorum and decent propriety of behaviour which is so graceful in the wedded fair. It was a remark of Metullus, the Numidi an, that if we could live without wives, we should be free from trouble; but alas! it was so ordered by nature, that we could not live comfortably with them ; and without them could not exist at all. Socrates, being asked by a young man, whether it were better to marry or live sin gle, replied 44 Do which you please, you will be sorry for it. 1 Intimating that the, choice was not between good and evil; but! between two evils. Tbe same person often said, that he had suffered three evils ; the learning of pram mar ; poverty; and a bad wife. He had it last escaped from the former, but there was no getting rid of a bad wife. The same person said matrimony was a net ; the fishes when they are out, wish to get in ; when they are in, they wish to get our. Pratagoras being asked, for what reason he had given his daughter in marriage to his enemy, replied that he had nothing worse to gh e him It is reported of the Legislator, Phoro neus, that being on his death-bed he whis peted to his brother, isl had only lived sin gle nothing would have been wanting to my felicity. As respects Socrates, we cannot but think he had some cause ffoi* -cauijjlaint, for certainly his wife drew the reins oT her government rather tight. For once, when he had invited a friend to a-supper, Xan tippe in the midst of the feast rose up ? very much exasperated at something, and after scolding at him with a great deal of cla mour, overset the table. The meekness of Socrates on this occasion deserves the highest applause; for observing his friend sitting with a disturbed countenance, he merely said, “ What ails Entfiyde mus? Do not you remember when 1 supped with you lately, that a hen flew over the table and overset the cups and saucers * Atid on another occasion, when Alcibiudes sent him a large cake, made with all the science (for every thing is a of the confectioner, she took it out the bas.- ket in a rage and trampled it under her feet. On another occasion she plucked bis coat oft’, in the public sheet —At this time his friends were so angry, that they advised him to box her ears on the spot, but he told them he did not wish to make himself a ridiculous spectacle, by con tending with his wife in public. Diogenes was of a turn of mind very different from Socrates : For happening to see a woman, who had hung herself, sus pended on an Olive tree, he said he wished other trees bore such fruit. hen we turn our eyes towards the pos sessors of distinguished power & opulence, so many glittering appendages crowd upon the imagination, productive ol agreeable emotion, that we lose sight of the essential equality of the species, and think less of the persons themselves than of the artificial splendour which surrounds them. Joseph Bonaparte. —Thecitizens line of coaches through New Jersey, pass the residence of the late King of Spain, at Bordentown, on the Dela ware. His estate occupies a large territory. His house is in the French style, but not splendid.— His lands, on which immense sums have been ex pended-, are well calculated. - In all public im provements he contributes liberally—something like four thousand dollars, lam told he paid on one road. He is much beloved, and his memory will be ever dear to the villagers.—There is scarce ly now a poor family in the village, so many does he employ on his lands. He pays liberally, punc tually fulfilling all his contracts, —no law suits— no disputes, and the intemperate and immoral are at once discharged. He is constantly in the sea son-of agriculture, in. the field with his men, and is generally with an elegant pruning hatchet in his hand. Strangers who are introduced partake liberally ofhis hospitality. He has thus exchang ed a coronet of thorns, for that of a peaceful agri culturalist, and become a citizen of our happy, re public.

It appears that lie enjoyed, inrmht of : kio-V.nre, a young and amiable woman, an income of £SOOO, and received a large salary besides. His gambling propensities, how ever> involved him in embarrassments, which led him to commit crimes, one of which he will un doubtedly be compelled to expiate by an igriomi nious death. He was indicted a bill of £SOO oh the house of Rothschild, which he en deavoured to take up by means or forged accept ances of the Barings. After his arrest, several similar acceptances were found among his Capers. Every effort was made to prevent a prosecution. Mr. and Mrs. Rothschild used every exertion to have the business hushed up, but wuthout success, He was remanded for trial.— City Gazette , The Mexican Chamber of Deputies Have agreed to .give a pension of SIBO per month to the. widow’ and children of Capt.

This medicine is offered as a remedy for Scro fula or King’s Evil, Ulcerated fiorc Ihroat, long j standing Rheumatic Affections, Cutaneous Dis eases, White Swelling and Diseases of the Bones, ! and all cases generally of an ulcerous character, and chronic diseases arising in debilitated consti tutions, but more especially for Syphilis, or affec tions arising therefrom. Ulcers of the Larynx, j Nodes, dec., and-that dreadful disease occasioned ! by a long and use oimerewy, 4'’** It lias been found to be a most useful spring and autumn alterative for debilitated persons : it has also been found useful in Diseases of the Liver. In all disorders arising from an impure or contaminated state of the Blood , it will be found a powerful and an effectual remedy.— The discovery of this has been the effect of long and attentive study, and it is now made public from the mst decided conviction, founded on anip]>cxperieaee, of its power in eradicating fhose- diseases, after exefy other medicine has failed. It caimot, however, be supposed, that this Pana cea will invariably cure—the most esteemed me dicines, employed by the faculty, will often fail, in the very diseases tor which they are con sidered specifics; bt if the use of it be persevered in it will radically iciuove almost every cause of tlie-disorders specified. Thousands are lingering under those complaints, in some form, sinking to the without u remedy, whom this medicine would certainly restore to perfect health & vigor. Its safety and innocence have been fully tested eo that it may be administered to the tenderest infant. The most distinguished physicians in the United States recommend it, and *admit, that a more important disprovery in medical science has •not been made : and to use tho language of one of the most eminent Professors of the age, it is a triumph in the heating vert. To the present and rising generations the benefit must prove incalcu lable, not only by saving many valuable lives, but imparting strength-arid soundness to debilitated & corrupted constitutions— thereby preserving their of spring from hereditary diseases . These facts,, together with the numerous cures made, form ir resistible proof of She high value of this remedy. No one, however, is advised to take it, without, first fully convincing himself of the truth of what is here stated, and the rectitude of the Proprie tor’s intentions. The cures performed m this city alone, establish its superior virtue on a basis too solid to be affec ted by the malignity of the envious. It is wor thy of remark, that? the greater part of the pa tients who have been permanently cured, had, previous to the Proprietor’s undertaking them, received the ablest assistance, and several were abandoned by their Physicians, as being beyond the reach of human skill. Sur,fi is the fact and so extraordinary were many of the cases, that an exhibition teas made of them in the University of Pennsylvania, by the Professor of Surgery, be fore a crowded audience of Students, who pro nounced them wanders in the healing art. It has been introduced into the Philadelphia Alms- House and Pennsylvania and New-York Hos pitals, and such were its’ surprising effects—its success after all other medicines had failed, that the Surgeon of the Pennsylvania. Hospital Dr. Wm. Prl ce, was induced to abandon his highly J respectable office, from the laudable design of benefiting his fellow creatures, by carrying the Panacea to England; where it has already super seded the use of the genuine French Rob of La facteur in a number of instances, in diseases for which that is intended, and its virtues are public ly acknowledged by some of the most eminent surgeons there. In all complicated cases of Scrofula and Syphi lis, and where the Syphilitic Virus of the parent causes a development of Scrofula in the child, this is the only remedy upon which a single hope of recovery can be reasonably founded ; there has been no instance of its failure, where properly used. It imparts vigour to the whole system while the cure ingoing on— an operation so long looked for in medical world ; at the same time the patient is enabled to take nourish ing food, which under the common modes *f prac tice, is usqaily withheld frurq the sufferer. In many instances, - w here the horrible ravages of ulceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where, to all appearance, no human means but amputation <fould have saved life, in many cases extrem©-even\as fiero described, have been snatched from the grave and restored to good health, and the devouring disease completely eradicated. The discovery of a remedy like this now offered for sale has beep a desideratum from tune imme morial. 4 : CERTIFICATES, From JV*.

THOMAS H. HALL, M. D. Mr. Wm. Sic aim) Philadelphia. ‘ v From Thomas Parke, President of the College oj Physicians, formerly Physician to the Pennsyl vania Hospital, 4’C. 4c. At the request of W. Swaim, I hereby certify that in the few cases I have seen his Panacea giv en, I have observed great benefit derived from its use, and particularly in the case of R. C. Trego- j maine, tvho was for many years afflicted with very inveterate ulcers, that were deemed incura ble by some eminent surgeons, w r ho had attended her. In this hopeless situation, she was (iu Sep tember, 1821,) admitted a patient in the Pennsyl vania Hospital, and had the advice of all the sur geons of that benevolent institution, without re ceiving much relief, when she began tjie use of the Panacea, which, to the surprise of all who wit nessed its effects, restored her to good health, in a short time. In October. 1023, she was discharged from the Hospital, perfectly cured. From observing the wonderful effects of Swaim's Panacea in R. C. Tregomaiue's case, and from several well attested reports of many of our most eminent surgeons, I am induced to believe it is a very useful remedy in chronic, syphilitic, mercuri al and scrofulous complaints. THOMAS PARKE, M. D. Locust Street,- Phil octetphid, 11 th Mo. Ist, 1624. >, From John Y Clark. Having had frequent opportunities of witness ing the effects of the article denominated Swaim’s Panacea, i must candidly say, that I have been much pleased with the results of its success, parti cularly in the following diseases, viz. Scrofula, Syphilitic, and Mercurial diseases. Tumours and ulcers, where there has been great destruction of the soft parts, but also Where caries of the bones have extended to a very considerable extent. JOHN Y. CLARK, M. D. Philadelphia, 18, 1625. From Alexander Knight, Port Physician of Phila delphia, 4c- Having witnessed the decided efficacy of the medicine called Swaim's Panacea in several cases of inveterate -disease, that had resisted the usual remedies, justice requires that 1 should give my testimony in its favour. Among other eases that have come under my notice those of Mrs. Hocker, of Kensington, add J. Lambert’s chtfd,* . are the most worthy of notice. In the former* case there was extensive ulceration and caries of the bones of tire face, that was rhpidly extending its ravages to the nose and palate. In the latter, a gangrenous ulceration, commencing on the inside of the cheeky, had extended to the outside, and de* stroyed a portion of the cheek, and threatened ite entire destruction. In both these cases, the dis eases were in a progressive state, although very active treatment had been used, without benefit; but were speedily arrested in their progress, and in a short time perfectly cured by the use of Mr. Swaim's medicine. ALEX- KNIGHT, M D. Philadelphia, Dec. 1824. From Samuel R. Marshall, Surgeon of the United States’ Naval Hospital , New- York, fyc.

CAUTION TO PURCHASER#.- 4 The great demand and wonderful success of this medicine, have induced a number of persons to imitate it in various ways—Some are selling Sarsaparilla and other syrups, imposing them on the ignorant for the Panacea ; others are mixing j thp genuine medicine with molasses, &c., making ! three bottles out of one ; thus retaining some of its virtues. These invitations and adulterations have, in many instances, protracted the sufferings of patients in cases where the gemiiaie medicine would have proved instantly efficacious.

DEANS PATENT VEGETABLE RHEUMATIC PILLS: Prepared by Ezra Dean, Biddeftfrd ; for the dis covery oj which he obtained a Patent signed by the President of the United States. MONG the disorders which I have paid jLM- particular attention to, is the Rheu matism, in all its various appearances, this being a complaint Which much prevails in the District of Maine, where I reside, and one seemingly lit tle undetbtood by the faculty (according to their success in the treatment) so that many become useless before their days are half expended. For this disorder, I now* offer the public a safe, certain and effectual preventive and cure. Not that I may be understood that all who have it will or may be cured ; as when the constitution is broken down, the vital functions impaired, or the joint dislocated or rendered motionless, and modus or tumors formed upon them, or the cords shrunk up and the muscles perished; for these are desperate cases and cannot always be cured, but often however, helped by perseverance. Nor is it to be supposed that cases off many vears standing, without these effects, can be cur ed at once, where the habit lias become assimilat ed to the nature of the complaint, for in those cases tiie whole habit of the body and quality of the blood must be changed, which must be the work of time. In the rheumatism, I conceive there is an acri monious state of the blood, which falling in par ticular upon the parts affected, causes the vari* ous symptoms -whereby the complaint is. known. The rheumatism has generally been’ divided into two kinds, viz the chronic and inflamma tory. The chronic frequently succeeds the other, or rather the chronic remains when the inflamma tory symptoms subsido. The chronic fe known by pain, stiffness, Ac. without fever. The inflammatory by the appeal *nco of fever with pain, swelling, heat, rednNtfs, tenderness, sensibility to cold, A.c. The chronic is apt to last many years, not unfrequently destroy the use of the parte’ upon which it falls—this is much the most dilficm* of cure. The inflammatory is hardly ever dangerous while in that state, except it falls on the vitals. Rheumatic pains may generally be distinguish ed from other pains, by their being worse in damp weather, and before a storm, and by their fre quent change of place. The back and large joints are most apt to be affected, the back being often attacked very sud denly when lifting some email weight. Tins is called Lumbago. The hips and shoulders are very liable to it, frequently lasting many years, sometimes ren dering them entirely usoless. When in the hipg it is called Sciatica. It frequently attacks the head, causing ague*, tooth aches, sick or nervous head aches, dizzi ness, coldness, pain, &c. The neck often experiences its effects. The stomach frequently is attacked, producing pains, cramps, Ac. which sometimes prove* fatal. The bowels are often attacked causing obstinate cholics. The sides likewise are often attacked, causing pains of long standing. Scarcely any part of the body is exempt from it. Undoubtedly the procuring cause of the Rheu matism is cold and wet. How t hey operate upon the body in producing the disorder, whether by obstructing perspiration, and thereby retaining something acrimonious, and prejudicial to the system or other ways, is not material; our busi ness is to point out how the cause may be avoided, and the remedies, when it has taken place. To avoid Rheumatism, therefore, avoid cold and wet, by guarding the feet with thick shoes or over thpes, esjieciaiiy if in tho habit of standing on damp ground, avoid setting iu rooms immedi ately alter washing, not to cool too suddenly es pecially wheiLsweatyv A person does not take oold w hen he is freely at work, for then the blood is in free motion, by winch so much heat is generally thrown out, that the effects of cold and wet applied to the body is effectually counteracted. it is when a person leaves off work that he i* most apt to take cold, by not covering soon enoiigh ox standing, or sitting, too long after leav ing work. Rheumatic habits should wear flannel next the body, and in all damp w eather woolen stockings, and should as much as possible avoid wading or wetting in fresh except occa sionally to bathe, and then the body must be wip ed perfectly dry before the clothes are put on. When children are in the habit of being much in fresh water, they are liable to rheumatic disor ders, and to have bad sores form in their limbs, commonly called fever sores, which are of a rheu matic nature : they frequently affect the bone, and cause incurable lameness. The rheumatism as well as many other disor ders is hereditary, or handed down from parent to child, and those are much more difficult of cure. The gout I consider nearly allied, or of the same nature of the rheumatism ; the same remedies I have found to answer equally w t oll for both. Remedies fox the Rheumatism may be divided into internal and external. As an internal remedy I recommend these Pills. It is not to be supposed, that one or two boxe* is to perform a cure, especially in old cases, or that after the cure is performed, a person is never to have it again ; for like causes will always pro duce like effects in similar circumstances; but by keeping these Pills by a person and taking a dose on getting cold and feeling rheumatic pains, they will most certainly prevent the settling of them on any particular part of the body. Os external means many are made ue of per haps to advantage, but in inflammatory cases it is of little use untii blood is taken, and the body free ly opened by the Pills, then an ointment made of sweet oil 8 parts and 2 parts of camphor made fine and dissolved in it; then add 2 parts of volatile spirits, well shook together, and half a table spoon rubbed on the part twice a day, is the best thing I ever found. In cases of the chronic kind where the blood is cold and stagnant, by taking the pills first to quicken the blood, more benefit will be found from bleeding. It is in general as necessary to bleed in the chronic as the other ; 1 have kid cases where it has been of many years standing, that I found, in the course of the cure five or six bleed i inga to be absolutely necessary. By taking these pills people wm find bleeding to do thdm more good, and beaj it better than without them. Spasms, or cramps will be found to yield to their operation.. As to spasms, I consider them of th* nature of the rheumatism, for 1 conceive it to ariso from the same constitutions, and I have found tbd same remedies to equally relieve. Fits of various kinds 1 have known to be perfect- ly cured by the pills. The rheumatic pills, which I now offer the pubr lie for trial, will be found, for common use, the most safe, effectual and pleasant physic ever offer ed, being composed entirely of Vegetable materi als, they do not predispose to take cold like other physic, may be taken any time, they give an appe tite, assist digestion and carry off ail crudities from the stomach. They may be taken by females in circumstances to great advantage. If on taking cold a few’ of these pills are taken on going to bed, they will bo found to operate kindly the next day, and carry off any bad effects whicn might have remained of such cold if they had not been taken. Families will find by a free use of these pills* | that one half, at least , of the usual services of tho 1 Physicians may be dispensed with, and at the same time gel rid of many chronic complaints, which cause many to drag out.an unhappy life.
