[From the Southern Sentinel.] ZADIG. Free Translation. In ‘lie time of king; Moalnlar, there lived in Bali) lon, a young man named Zadig, who was by nature, a good rlis position and fine intellect, which had been strengthened by education. Although rich and young, he knew how to control his passions; lie gave himself no airs, and he (expected the weakness of others. He had learnt, in the first hook of Zoro aster, that self-love is a great balloon, puffed up with wind, that creates a terri ble tempest whenever anybody pricks it. Zadig was generous. He did not even fear to do favors for the ungrateful follow - intr the grand precept of Zoroaster. 4 When tl ion enlest, Iced your dogs, nl though they bite yon.’ He was as w ise as he could lie— for he sought to spend his time with tiie sages, instructed in the sciences nl Chaldea, he was not ig norant of the principles of physical na tore, such as were then known, and he knew of metaphysics all that ever was I.own, whirl) is a very little hit. He was firmly persuaded that in every year there were twelve months, and also three bun tired and sixty-five days nnd a quarter. Zadig, will) great riches, and, ofcotirse wi.h many friends, having health, a good figure, just and moderate desires, a sincere and noble heart, thought that, upon the w hole, lie might he happy. He was a liont to marry Semire, wlnse beauty, birth and fortune, rendered her the first choice in Babylon. On the evening be lore they were to he united, they walked together to wards one of the gates of Ba bylon, under tlte palm-trees that ornament the banks of the Euphrates—when they saw coming to them, some men armed with swords and javelins. These were tlte satellites of young Orcan, the nephew of tlte Minister, who had been persuaded by the rourti rs, that-he was allowed to do anything lie pleased. He had not one of the graces or virtues t f Zadig ; hut believing that lie was worth a great deal more, he was desperately angry a! not being preferred. Jealousy, which only comes from vanity, made him think that he loved Semire. He wished to car ry her off. His satellites seized Iter, ana, in the ex tremity of their violence, they wounded her, and caused lo flow the blood of a person, tbe very sight of w lioni would have softened the very tigers ol Mont Jmrnaiis. She pierced the heavens with her complaints. ‘My dearest Za dig,’ she cried, 1 they tear me away from thee, whom I adore’ She was not oc cupied w ith her own danger ; -be thought only of her dearest Zadig. He, in the meanwhile, defended her with all the strength of love and valor. Aided only by two servants, lie put his enemies to flight, and bore off Semire, fainting and bleeding, to her home, who, on opening her eyes, saw Iter liberator, •r n e ey e . The wound of Semire was light; slit got well very soon. Zadig was more dangerously hurt. A thrust of a javelin received near the eye, made a ugly wound. Semire prayed to the Gods on ly for the cure of her lover. Her eyes were flooded w ith tears, day and night.— She anxiously awaited (lie moment when those of Zadig could return Iter regards; hut an abscess came on upon the wound ed pye and the worst was feared. They sent ev-n to Memphis to get (lie great Doctor Hermes, w ho came, attended by a numerous suit. He visited the sirk mail, and he declared that lie would lose his eye ; lie even predicted the day, and the hour of the day, when the catastrophe would occur. 44 Had it Ijpen the rig lit eye,’ said this grpat man, 4 I could have cured it ; hut all the diseases of the left ey e are ini am ble.’ All Bahvlon, while pillying the eon dilion of Zadig, wondered at, admired and extolled the profundity of the science nnd skill of Hermes the Great. Two days afterwards, the abscess opened of itself, nnd Zadig was perfectly cured. Hermes wrote a hook, in which he proved that Zadig ought not to have got well. Zadig never read it ; hut as soon as It” could go out, he prepared lo pay a visit to her who was the hope and happiness of his lif”, and for whom alone he wanted lo have any eyes. Semire had been in the country for three days past. He learned upon the road that this beautiful, lady, having haughtily declared her insui'v nio tut table disgust for one eyed men, was OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. going to he married that very night jo Ore an. At this news, lie fainted ; his grief brought him to the borders of the tomb; he was sick for a long time; but in the end, his reason overcame his sor row, and the atrocity of the whole affair served even to console him. 1 Since I have been subjected ti the caprices of a fine lady of the court,’ said he, ‘ I will have nothing to do w ith any of that class any more. 1 will man y a citizen’s daughter.’ lie chose Azora, the wisest young girl in the city : he married her, and lived a whole month w ith her, enjoying thesweets of the tenderest union. THE NOSE. One day, Azora came hack soma walk, in great wrath, and giving utter ance to the most violent objurgations a gainst somebody. ‘ YVliat ails von, my clear wife?’ said Zadig to her, ‘ who lias put von so beside yourself ?’ 4 Alas !’ said she, ‘you would he ns an gry as / am, if you had seen the specta cle, of which 1 have been a witness. I have been to console the young widow Cosron, who, two days since, raised a tomb to her young husband, on the bor ders of the brook, that runs through the plain. She vowed to the Gods, in her grief, that she would live near that tomb, so long as the waters of the brook should run beside it.’ ‘ Indeed !’ said Zadig, ‘site is an esti mable woman, who truly loved Iter hus band.’ ‘Alt!’ responded Azora, *if you hut knew how she was occupied, when I vi-i led her.’ 4 How was that, my beautiful Azora ?’ asked Zadig. 4 She was engaged in turning aside the | waters of the brook,’ said Azora, and so j telling Iter husband, she hurst forth in in- I vectives so long, and reproaches so vio j lent, against the young widow Cosron, I that Z idig was by no mentis pleased with her ostentations parade of virtue, Z-tdig had a friend named Cador, whom he look into his confidence, assur ing himself of his fidelity, by making Ititn a handsome present. Azora, having passed two days, with a friend of hers, in the country, came home on the third.— The servants, in teats, announced to her, that her husband had died very suddenly the night before, that no one had dated to carry the sail news to her, and that thev had just gone to bury Zadig in the tomb of bis fathers, at the end of tlte gar den. She wept, she tore out great handfuls of her hair, and swore she would die. In the evening, Cador begged perm’s sicn to speak to her, and they wept to gether. ‘l'he next day, they didn't w eep quite so much, and dined together. A zora spoke the praises of the defunct, lint said that he had (Hulls ft om which Cador was exempt. Just in the midst of the repast, Cndor was taken vety sick with a disease of the j spleen ; the lady, very uneasy and anx ; ions, sent for all the e>sences, with which ! she was wont to perfume her beau'ilul I person, and tried :hent, to see if any one might he good for the disease of the spleen. She regretted very much (fiat the world-renowned Hermes was not still in Babylon. ‘Are yon sulject to this cruel disease?’ sal I she, with much compassion. l lt very often brings me to the brink of the grave,’ responded Cador in great pain. 4 and there is hut one remedy that can relieve me, and that is to apply to my side the nose of a man who has been dead a day or tw o—oh !’ 1 What a strange remedy !* said Azora, hilt the great merit of the young loan, de termined her. 4 After all,’ said she, 4 when my poor dear defunct Zadig has passed from this world, and is on his journey to the next, upon the bridge Tchinnrar, the angel Asrnel will not refuse him a passage, tie - cause his nose happens In he an inch hi so shorter in his second hie than it w as in his first. I never heard that anybody was to be judged according to the length of his nose, and Cador is very sick, and Cador is very handsome, and .’ She took a sharp razor, she w ent to the tomb of her spouse, she watered it with her tears, and she approached to cut nfi the nose of Zadig, w hum she found ex tended in his open grave. Z ulig popped up, holding on to Id nose with one hand, and jiut'ing liai k the razor with the other. 4 Madam,’ said he, 4 hereafter, don’t cry out so loud against the widow Cos roti. Tour project ol cutting off my nose will do very well as a set-off against her turning aside the brook.’ 1. U C K . Zadig experienced that, the first month ol wedlock, as it is written in t*'e hook ol Zend, is the honey month, and that the second is the month of wormwood. He was, after a very little while, obliged to seperate (mm Azora, who got to be a re gular shrew, and he went to seek lor hap piness in the study of nature. ‘No one is happier,’ said lie, 4 than the philosopher w iio reads the great book that God has opened befoie our eyes.— | I he truth he there discovers are his own; j they nourish, they elevate his soul; he lives tranquilly ; he (ears nothing from men, and his tender spouse due-u i come to cut his nose off’ 1’ nil o| such ideas, he retired to a conn uy house, on the banks.of the great river the Euphrates. There lie did not oc cupy himself with calculating how many inches ol water ran every set ond, under the arches ol the bridge ; nor how many more cubic inches of water tell in the monib ol Venison, than in the month of Mutton ; neither did lie bother himself about the fine fabrics of linen, nnd clod) of gold, nor heautilul pni celian ware, nor any such tin tiers ; but especially studied 1 the properties and uses of animals and plants, and he soon acquired a sagacity, that enabled him lo discover a thousand differences in each otic, that would pass tiuoliced by other men. As he walked one day near a small wood, he perceived running towards him, one of the pagt sos the Queen, followed by many other officers of the household, who all seemed to he in the greatest dis traction, nnd who w-re locking about, like met) who had lost some very precious thing. 4 Voting man,’ said the page, • have you seen the Qcen’s dog ?’ 4 Is it a very little Spaniel?’ said Zadig very modestly. 4 Yes, it’s a very little Spaniel.’ said the page. 4 /> it lame of the right fore-fool and has it very long tars ?’ asked Zadig, 4 You have seen him then ?’ said the page, almost out of breath. 4 No,’ responded Zadig, 4 I have not seen him, and I did not know that the Queen had stn h a dog.’ Breeiselv at the same limp, and by one nl Fortune’s tricks, tlie finest Imrse in the King's stable, esrapeilSfrotn the hands of his groom, and got loose in the plains of Babylon. The grand huntsman, and all the other officers, rat) after him, in as great a hurry as the page after tlte Queen’s tlog. The grand huntsman, addressing himself to Zadig, demanded to know of him whether he had seen tlte King's horse. ‘ It’s a horse that gallops we'|,‘ said Z idig ; ‘ lie’s five feel high ; lie has very small feet ; hi< tail is three feel and a half long ; the studs ot his bit are of gold and his shoes of silver.’ ‘YVliat road did he take ? Where is he ? demanded the grand huntsman. 4 I have not seen him,’ said Zadig, 4 and I have never heard anybody speak of him.’ The grand huntsman and the page, made no doubt, hut that Z'dig had stolen both the King’s horse, and the Queen’* dog, and they accordingly carried him Indore the assembly ol'ilie Grand Duster (mm, u hich condemned him to pass the rest of his davs in exile. Scarcely had the judgment been pronounced, when both the horse and the dog were found by some people, and brought hack. The judges were under the dolorous necessity of recalling their decree, but they detuned Zadig to pay lour bundled pieces of gold, for haying said that lie did not sec, that which he did see. He was cum i [idled to pay the n cun) ; alter whirl), he was allowed to (dead his cause. In fore the Council of the Grand Dnslcrham.— He spoke thus : ‘ Stars of justice, abysses of science, mirrors oflnilli, who lime the heaviness ol lend, the hardness of iion, tlie brilli ancy of diamonds and n very great affin ity w ith gold, s'lice it is permitted me to speak before this august assembly, I do assure yon that I have neither seen the respectable dog of the Queen, nor the e, n rable horse of liis scieiie Majesty, the King. 1 Hear what did happen. As 7 walked in the wood, I encountered this very il- Insltious fingc, anti tl is very honorable j TERMS: S2 in Advance. grand huntsman. I had seen in the sand the tracks ol an animal, and l easily judged i lie in to he lmse of a dog. The traces, w hit b appeared to have barely brushed the ground, by the side of (lie Ibre-leet, showed me that it had very long ears, and as 1 remstrked, that the sand was less deeply impressed by one foot than by the other three, I comprehended that the dog of our august Queen was a little lame ; if 1 might dare to say so. 4 ln regard to tlie King’s horse, you must know, that as I walked along a cer tain path in the woods, I perceived the tracks of a horse’s shoes—they were at equal distances. Here, said I, lias been along a horse, that gallops well. Tbe dust upon the hushes in a narrow road, that was only seven feet wide, was bru-h ----ed off a little to the right and lelt, at a liont three feet and a half Iron) tbe mid dle of the road. This horse, said I, has a tail tlirte feel and a ball long, tiiat lias sw in bed till’ this dust. 4 I had seen under the limbs of the trees, which fnrtncd a bower five feet ill height, the leaves ami small branches newly broken, and from that, I knew that the horse had touched them, and ihal l:e was live (Vet high. As lo his bit, it must have been of gold, for I saw where lie slock the bosses of it against a certain rock, that I knew to be a touch-stone, because 1 had previously tried it. Fin ally, I judged by the marks his shoes had left upon some Unit rocks, that lie was shod witli silver. This, Oh I most wise, merciful, ar.d ju-t judges of tbe grand Du -letham, was what happened, and liovv I came to know aught about either the Queen’s dog, or the King’s horse.’ All the judges wondered at the pro found and subtle discernment of Zadig. The news reached even to the King and Queen. Evety body was speaking n boui Zulig—in the ante chambers, in tbe bureaus of office, aft] in the cabinet—nnd ■ hough the wise men opined, that he ought to he burnt ns a sorrerer, the King thought otherwise, by good luck, and he ordered that the judges should pay him hack his four hundred pieces of gold. Accordingly, the ('let It, tbe bailiffs and ptocurers wcm to his house, in great state, to earn him hi- lour hundred oun ces. They only retained three hundred and eighty.-eight for the expenses o f jus tice, and out nl the balance the porters and jailor had to he paid. Zadig saw bow dangerous it was to be too wise sometimes, and be promised him self, that the next time, lie wouldn’t say n word. The occasion s-ion happened. A prisoner c.f state escaped —be passed under the windows ofZulig’s house.— They interrogated Zadig. He answered nothing. But it was proved that lie must Inve seen the prisoner front his window. He wax condemned for litis offence, lo pay five hundred ounces of gold, and thanked his judges lor not chopping off his head, according to the custom of Ba ht lot). 4 Alas !’ said he, ‘ how much are thev in lie pitied who walk in the wood where the Queen’s dog, and the King’s steed, have .akin an ailing ! H<>iv dangerous it is to look out of a window ! How dif< ficult it is to he happy in this life.’ Sacredness of lire Tlalforui. In an ariii le yesterday, we alluded to the manner hi w hich the democracy ad here to the platform established by their Baltimore Convention-, and exposed their ultra disregard of its trusts as sliov. n bv the action of the House ol Representatives o:i il.e river and harbor bill.
