FORBES ORIENTAL MEMOIRS.
The supersutious reverence for life in the
lowest .stages of existence is instanced in one
of the most interesting anecdotes in Forbes'
Oriental Memoirs ; -
A Brahmin, far beyond his brethren both
in powers of mind and extent of knowledge,
lived in habits of great intimacy with att
Euglislnrtan'who was fond of natural and ex
pertuientai philosophy the Brahmin, who
had learned English, read the books of his
friend, searched into the, Cyclopedia, and
profiled by his philosophical instruments. It
happened that, the Englishman received a
good solar microscope from. Europe ; lie dis
placed its wnders with delight to the aston
ishment of the Brahinin ; aod conviuced him
by the undeniablejevidence of liis senses, that
he and his countrymen, who abstained so
scrupulously from,, any thing which had life,
devoured innumerable ahimalcu ae upon every
vegetable' which they ale. The Brahmin,
instead of being delighted as his new friend
had expected, became unusually thoughtful,
and at length retired in silence., On his nest
visit he requested ihe gentleman would sell
him the microscope ; to this it was replied.
that the thing was a present from a. friend in
Europe, and not to be replaced; the Brahmin
however was not discouraged by the refusal ;
lie ottered) a very large sum of money, of an
Indian cdnfmodity of equal value, . and at
length the gentleman, weary of resisting his
importunities, or, unwilling longer to resist
them, gave him the microscope, 'fhe eyes
of the Hindoo flashed with joy, he seized
the instrument, hastened from the virajida,
caught tip a large stone, lnidjlhe microscope
lit to pieces. Liavinir done this, he sum in
reply to the angry; reproaches of his friend,
that when he was cool he would pay him a
visit, and explain 'his reasons.. Upon that
visit he thus addressed his friend : -
l"0 that I had remained in that happy
stale of ignorance in which you found me !
Yet 1 confess, that as tny knowledge increas
ed so did my pleasnre,) till I beheld the won
ders of the microscope :Jrom that moment 1
have been tormented by doubts I .am mis
erable, and must continue to be so till I enter
upon another stnge. of existence. I am a
LsohtaryCindividual among fifty milions. of
people, all brought up in the same belief as
myself, and all happy in their ignorance; 1
will keep the secret within my own bosom,
it will destroy my j peace, but I shall have
some, satisfaction in knowing that I alone
feel those doubts which, had I notdemroyed
the instrument, might have been communi
cated to others, and rendered many thousand
wretched. Forgive me, my friend and
bring here no more; implements of knowledge
"I have been asked," says . Vr. Forbes,
' by one of the most amiable men I know.
and one of the most valuable friends 1 ever
possessed, why I; troubled myself so much
aboutlhe, Hindoos; why not allow mothers
to tfeitroy their infants, widows to immolate
themselves with their husbands, and Brah
mins to pour boiling oil into the ears of the
lower casts who hear the Shastah X , This
gentleman lived upwards tof twenty years in
India, and, like many others, saw, no, impro
priety in such conduct, or he would .have
been among ilie' first to reprobate it, and at
tempt a change.' But as t know he .speaks
tne sentiments of numerous philanthropists,
1 shall answer the I question in the -language
of the excellent Cjwper.
I was.bnrn of woman, and drew milk, ,
As sweet as charity, from human breasts.
I think articulate, I laugh and weep,.,.
And exercise all functions of a man:-?
Host then should I, ;and any man that lives.
Be strangers to each other?" ' '
While Mr. Forbes felt thus, like a wise
and good man; 'from 'the abominable institu
tions of ilindostan, he could sympathize
with whatever W3S good in. ihe character o
f
the people, and treat their prejudices with
tenderness and respect. "The. inhabitants of
Dhuboy requested that their' fellow-citizens,
the monkeys1,- and ' the' water fowl who Afi

, LORD TUIOTHY DEXTE UL : .
An eccentric individual erf this name once
1 i ved i n - N e vv bu ry port,; ' SI assach use its ."He
was one of those dolls' upon whom fortune,
in return for the deprivation of common sense
seems to open her eyes. The most foolish
actions often turned to his advantage. Thus,
some wild fellows convinced him that he
would make a fortune by sending a cargo of
warming pans to that cold latitude, the West
Indies. He sent far and wide to gather a
xargo, creating great wonderment among the
dealers at the smlden demand. 1 ae warm
ing pans found a ready sale, however, being
purchased by the Planters for motasaies strain
ers, and Dexter, made a fortune by the opera
tion. He once published a book called "the
Pickle," without any points, and at the end
printed several pages of commas, colons, etcV
telling the reader to "sprinkle the dish to
suit himself.' He. was very fond of being
called "My Lord," and boys would secure
some sixpeunies by humoring hint in this
respect. He took a notion he should like to
see his own burial; a tomb was made io his
garden," a coffin s provided, and procession
formed all in proper order, and with due
solemnity." He had a splendid and costly
House, after the style of the Eiiglist nobility,
and very large and pleasant grounds attached,
in which was a. small Park, shady grottos';
cool and refreshing fountains which flowed
into marb e basins, elegantly carved, and a
artificial fishing pond, which was encircled
by hewn granite.' Desiring' to beautify his
mansion, after the manner of foreign "loids,
he1 had many " statues'!.; carved of wood.
among which were ail the Presidents if the
United States, from Geo! Washington down
to John Quincy Adams, all of the promi
nent men in the State of Mass., the leading
Statesmen in Congress, and a 1 ribe of about
fifteen Indians headed by a war-like chief.
These statues were arranged .L 'around his
mansion- in their respective places : ihe Chief
Magistrate were placed m lroat,tlie members
of tohgrejss flanked the two wings, the
prominent jenaraciers oi ins own oiaie were
placed on."thjB7Hop of posts at the corners of
his fence, aird the little tribe of Indians were
stationed in a smalr cluster of woods in the
rear. He also had painted and hung around
his Mansion, all the signers of thef Declara
tion nf Independence, tfie Oflicers of the
Revi lutioii,aMdeera' other lieryes nd patri
ots. Most of the wooden stuiuer-excfpl the
rresideots, have been removed, and scatter
ed over ' the New-England States,' as curi
osities. The mansion is now a Hotel, call
ed the " Dexter llnusei" ornamented still
with some of the portraits. His, indole tomb.

Ueatjpeace , 3uch, said the guide, were the
PeiicwortlsL wliich tlie hermit of-the
mountairiatiered ; befora he died. He was a
man of si range and mysterious habits, : and
many were the;wonder which he performed
inTliis cave. He could tfcss a UlMman fay
ihe, legends of the times) as expertly as Mesr78
imrmster.;..:.!:: t rr;- U ; .
Like i the great little 'Albert he could teach
a serpent to spak Greek and made a sala
manderi.say hii prayers like a Porphyry.
Wlienhe lay-upon his bed of rushes . expir
ing, just before ihe last gleam of life was-out,
Itia eyes seemed to glow with more than
mortal Animation, and he pronounced these
words with a voice not ol this world : ''J'ill
the lampjn the cell of St. Agatha is Extin
guished, never can the houseof Malvezzi be
at peace.'. - : . "
14 Here," said the guide, pointing to some
fragments of stone, which rudely peeped forth
from a wilderness of weeds, " here are the
ruins ; of . the abbey, which adjoined the
castle of MaJvezzi ; and here was the cell of
Agatha;, where the fatal lamp lay burn in g.
Near a century had elapsed from the period
of the hermit's prediction, and still the house
of MaJvezzi was .convulsed by bloody dis
sensions. Father against son, and brother,
conflicted with Unrelenting ferocity, and mur
der was; almost Isated with its victims ?'
Biit did they not remember the prophecy
of the hermit," said the youthful stranger.
who appeared most-interested in the tale,
and to whom the guide particularly address
ed himself. " But, did they not remember the
prophecy of the hermit?" said the -youthful
strangejr. They did, replied the guide,
" and still the lamp was unextinguished.
In vain was it exposed' to the winds and
rain ; it would hiss to the shower, and quiver
to the blast ; but it would not go nut. No it

When were your sorrows to slumber!
" It was on the last evening of the year
1450, which composed a' century from, the
period of the hermit's death vespers were
just concluded, and the abbey was still light
ed up. The unfortunate young Malvezzi
and his followers had been offering their
thanks to the Dei tv, that he had suffered that
day to pass over without blood. The mar
quis lingered last in the abbey, and was pa
cing pensively towards the gates, when a
female i form rushed rapidly by hitn, and,
gliding along the isle, disappeared through
the subterraneous wicket. How interest
ingly beautiful !' said Malvezzi to himself,
scarce repressing his astonishment, while he
Mole a glance at this unknown, over a' frag
ment of the wait of the tell. She stood be
side the lamp, and raised her eyes to-heaven.
They had a mingled expression of pity and
exultation; andjwhile they sofiened with re
gret for the past,- they seemed to bright
en with hope for the future. While Mal
vezzi gazed with breathless expectation, he
heard solemn peals of music floating along the
isles above. The organs of he abbey were
touched by some invisible hand; and it seem
ed the sweet voice of heaven breathing peace
to the ! wounded spirit of the unfortunate.
The female extinguished the lamp and van

the voiithful stranger, " She," said the guide,
