“ All this naturally roused my curios

ter of whom I promised the interest res-
pectin;; the canteen, by way of bribe for

ceived the following particulars, which
i have every rea-ioii to believe per.ecily
ti ue, and in strict accordance with Par-
see usaf:;o :
-“J-imgee Dorahjee, a respectable tra
der in jewels, iiad a daughter cajled
Vamma, wliose bei.uty e'pudlod tlie lus
tre of the finest diamond. She appear
ed, among the virgins of her tribe, as a
gem of Golconda amidst beads cf glass.
Her |)arents saw in her, as in a fi.il'ering
mirror, their fondest wishes. 'I'iiey
pearled her jet ’niack hair with ni;>ny a
costly transparent row ; their rubies in
burning glow vv(!re pendant from her
»!elicate ears ; their sapphires from her
graneful nose ; while man}^ a far liuned
mine glittered on her bosom, sparkled
on her lingers and arms, and shed its
light on her toes aiul ankles. Gold and
silver gave spleiulur to her (h'ess ; in
shoit, in the impassioned phrase of
Lord 15yron, and perhaps with less cf
poetical hy|)erbole—
“ ^lie w as a form of life and light,
“ I'ijat Seen became a purt of hight.”
'P.his charming young Parsee, or Peri,
was ^iocni f •ni’tren years old, an age at
which tlie female ligure attains tlie sound
periection of bcautiln: > iprness io India.
lnde('d, marr iage talie.^ idace at a u;uch
earlier periotl of life ; but, in'/amma’s
case, the young man to whom she was
.iilianced had been detained at Suiat
'le.arly two years i^y imj)ortant eommer-
cial ali’airs, in whicii he was deeply con
cerned ; and the expensive ceremony of
wedlock, had been jiostponed fr('m lime
to time, in anxious expectation of his re
turn.
“ Vamma’s prospccts were bright as
the starof Venus. In her tribe women arc
treated with great consideration, act an
im portant part in the public and private
concerns of their husbands, go unveiled,
and, in |)oiiit of |)ersonal freedom, they
.ireue.der no restraint beyond that whicii
delicacy and the custom of tlieir mothers
impose. The Parsee usages, with res-
pcct to marriage, are founded on the
happiness of domestic life, and tiiey
);A’ide for the preservation of purilv
in the fair sex so eirectually, that it is
the boast of this a(hnirable class of the
Indian community tiiat their wives ne
ver j)ruve unfaithful ; nor Is there an
Mstance of prostitution among their
daughters. Indeetl, their character in
■Jus resjject is so \vell estal)li>.hed at
|]-md)ay, that it is believed every aber
ration fiom virtue is punished with im-
meiiiate dc-ath, auil the notoriety of the
lamily disgrace cjrefully sujjjiressed.
I\irsee laws and u.sages are so well fram
ed for the prevention of crime and t.'ie
adjustment of dispute.-', that an instance
scirei!ly ever occurs of a reference to
l!ritisli justice. A i)arsee can ha\e but
one wii'e. If slie die, her family are
houiul to find a widow for the I'oiloi’ii
one’s second mate ; for he is nut au(.wed
to marry a your.ggirl, as with us, inhi.s
old ai;e ; nor is he obliged to wed again,
siiould he be desirous of preserving li-
delity to Ids d( j);irted half.
'l'l;e >,ue.e l ule holds if tlie husband
die.', his family aje b.)und lo find a v» iil-
ow.T, in conipliaPice with a wi>h on the
.ubiect indicited by tin; iad^ ’s friends,
liy this juviicious arrangement the ftail-
ties of human nature are restrained, and
r'onverted into a j)uhiic benelit. 'i'he
i’ar.sce wonieu receive the aiivanlages
ol’etlucation ; m.uiy of them can read,
writ’, j)lay oil llie Italian guitar, mu.ke
up accounts accurately ; and, in >ome
iransactions 1 have had with them, they
ai)[ie;u'cd very sensible and intelligent.
Ali public business however is transact
ed by the men.—'i'he women do not aj>-
pear in tni:;eil comj)any ; buv in inlluenc-
ing a'liiir.', and in private negociations.,
they arc jjowerfMl instrumenls.
Sucli was the loveiy Vamma, and
such were the pr(jmi.ses of hope, when
it was her fate to be rescueil from im
minent peril by the intrepidity of Cap
tain S . She had accompanied
her mother, in a c(ivered and gorgeously
decorated hackery, to a garden house
wliich belonged to her father, on Co-
!u!)aii. 'Fbey staid in the garden rather
longer -than their attendants wished,
pleased with its cooling fruits, neat
walks, silver streams, and shady trees.
'I'he golden banua, glittering mangoe,
ini[M‘iial jack, attracted their gaze and
touch. At length their bullocks, in
sj)t;iidid housings, proud of the music of
>i\'er ImUs, w liich [ilayed in sus])ension
IVoni tl'.eir necks, af)proached the b('d of
the tide whi(di 1 have before described
's sep.'U'ating the island of ('alabah Irom
iiouibay. The rufl be^ianing to
proaehcd ber, i^licre 3>:e rat like i
beautiful stcatue, and presenting a poi
soned bowl and a dagger, said in a lirm
tone, “Take your choice. — “
well, mother! iarewell, lather, lare-
well, world !” replied the heroic 1 ar-
see daughter, taking the deadly cup :
“Fate ordained tliat this shcuhi be
Vaniina’s marriage’"—and she drained
its rontents! lier leaden eyes were
wtitclied till they closed in death : she
was llien stripped, arrayed as a corpse,
and conveyed to the receptacle oi the
dead, as I have described. ^
“iviien S heard that Yamma
was gone, and suspected that she had
lieen niuniered, accoi iiing to the custom
ply In the lower part of the channel, but
the carriage road, along the crest of the
high roc.k, was passable tiiough tiie ris
ing tide might be seen glittering in
streams across its black ravines. 'Ihe
drivers and runners calculated that the
bullocks w’Culd cross before tlK; tide cov
ered the rocks, and they urged them at
full sj)ced. A btong breeze, however,
came into Bombay harl)our, with the
flow from the ocean ;—and before the
hackery reached the shore, the ladies
saw with terror that the devouring c le
nient was floating them, that their luot-
men wereswimming, ami striviiig to keep
tlie bullocks’ heaus towards tiie land.
Alarm soon finds ullerance. 'I’lie mother , , i-i • c u’
and daughter mingled their cries, ai.vi , oi tlic Parsees, the noble labric o is
wept iii'pity more for each'otheriii;iii j luain gave way, and rca.son lell Irom

l)iiL with ll'.e jjlume of |dain maiter-id-

used i-very means in his j.owei’to win
llie love of Vamma. He corresponded
with her througli tiie meilium of fakiers,
or religious mendicant; ar.il fortune-tel
lers. J [e loved her to distraction ; he
oll'ered to marry her ; for S. had a soul
too noble to ruin the object of his adora
tion. She listened to the niagic of his
:'ddrcss'js ; she forgot all the customs of
her tribe ; she oll'ered lier lover ojij)or-
tunities of seeing her ; he visited her
in the tiisguise of a hindoo astrologer,
and she agreed to leave father and mo
ther and follow iiim for life. I'nfortu-
ijafely they were discovered, and so
j.'rorijitly followed l»y three stout and
well-armed Parsees, that .S was
nearely killed in an iinequnl contest to
preserve his prize ; and poor Yamma was
returned to her enraged and disgraced
family.
“'I’he reader may conccive her ter
ror and confusion—how she protested
lun-jiurity and innocence—how she was
ilisbelieved and ujdiraided—howS
stormed and raved—how he oli’ered her
family every reparation that an honora
ble man could make, and how the\
s])ui-ned his t(‘rms with indignation and
contempt. Ileciumot, howevei’, so ea
sily picture what followed, for be may
not have believed or known that such
sceri(\s occur in the world. Well, 1
must briefly describe it—no, 1 cannot
dwell Ujion it. I will liurry it over,
merely sketching the outlir.e, and turn
ing with honor even iVom my own
faint colours.
“'Fhc heads of the tribe were assem
bled, and on the oath of secrecy having
been taken, llie fair Vamma was intro
duced, arrayed as a briile, and dectu'at-
ed as the daughter of the rich jew(dler,
Limjee Dorahjee. After certain ceremo
nies, her inolhcr and grand-niother ap-
perly 4!irected,cnn be//o/ci!ian'thc rival
of man, in every action, every sacrifice
that goes to dignify and exalt ihe liuman
name. . From the very appearance of
fenialo depravity, we recoil, as from
sometliing shocking and unnatural ;
while men the most immoral and aban-
doiifd are always overawed, and not
uufp ijucntiy reformed, by the contem-
jih.ti^ii of femalo excellence. Kven tlie
most ]irofligale libertines aj)j)roach it,
with a secret revereiue which they can
not account for, and a. e cfiually unable
to repress, ^\onderfu!, that a creature
naturally so defenceless, so weak iu
conionriation, .so timid in her ways, so
unaspiring in her pursuits, so humble
in her destination ; hern, I may say, to
.serve ; should yet, undei' certain cir-
cumstanccs, possess.an empire that no
thing can resist, that renders her very
sileiico eloiiuence, her cnlreaties law,
nay, her presence alone sujierior to the
most awful considerations, in the con
trol of jicentiousness and vice. Vet so
it is, such has universal experience, de
clared to be the ascendency of virtue and
religion in woman. Kiuwa.v.
