Of his other ex- riences in the land of Brahmins, he was not inclined to talk much on English ground; but one evening when we sat together, and his long pipe wes in fall play—iny friend was generally most fluent then—our conversation happened to turn en the extent of empire England had obtained in the East ‘A curious study they are,’ he eaid, “the Hindoo and his ruler. Nature never intended the two races to oceupy one country ; znp they were willing. it is an absolute impossi ty t they could ever understand each The Uriental character and that of the Ang!o- Saxon ave the oppr of mankind; hence the rule of E Jia has bad no moral result. Ithas familiarized the natives with European commerce, and, to a certain extent, with European science too, but the Hindoo and the Mussu emain as far from Britain ag their ancestors. My response was bout missions, and schoule, and time. ~* Well,’ said my friend, “ We would never agree and its ne matter; but I'l tell you an adventure which rather enlightened me on the subject when I was new in India.’ This he did as follows It was at Agra, the ancient capital. where the sultans of the Persian dynasty reigned and built before the days of the Mogul. The modern city is stillef great importance. There are holy places within its walls for Hindoo and Mohammedan, an English garrison, and con- erable trade; but all around stand the wit- nesses of earlier power and splendor—temples and palaces. and regal tombs—scattered for miles over the country, and interspersed with paim-grov native hamlets, and the bun- galows of the English residents. I had a full ‘welvemonth’s work among them; and among other acquaintances made in my peregrina- tions, was that of an English family named Jackson. They had what might be termed a strong position in Hindostan. Mr. Jackson wasa high law-officer for the province; Mrs. Jackson’s brother was at the head of the Agra eustom-house; their son was a captain in one of the regiments of that native rmy by which Fugland keeps her hold on India: and their slaughter was married to one of the Company's judges in Calcutta. With their family inter- est so well represented, and titled connections inone of the midland counties of England, where they were burn, you may believe that the Jacksons were rich and important people. They had a house in the city of Agra, ebiefly for the transaction of business, and an exten- sive bungalow in the outskirts, situated on the banks of a rivulet, surrounded by a garden full of Indian flowers, shaded from the southern sun by tall palms and commanding a glorious proepect of eptendid rains and Eastern vegeta- tion. There they lived in a degree of material luxury known only to the Anglo-Indian. Nothing was wanted that wealth could par- chase, and they possessed the love for elegance and taste: so the great lawyer and his lady were considered the elite of Agra society. and my acquaintance with them could only be ac- counted for on the ground that Europeans out of uniform wero rather scarce, that life is some- what dull in the Company's territory, that the Jacksons wanted their portraits, and that I was wanted to paint them. ‘Ibey had resided almost thirty years in India, and believed themselves thoroughly ac- quainted with it andits people. So they might have been as regarded time and oppurtunity; but unfortunately the Jacksons had brought the English mid!and counties with them, and never could get rid of the burthen. ‘They reasoned on the dwellers by the Jumnaexactly as they would have dene on those beside the Trent, and applied the rules of conduct laid down for Jim and Bill in all the rigor of their Angloism, to Ali and Ranou. Mr. Jackson was an upright, honorable man. with little depth and much narrowness of mind. Of his speuse [ will only venture to premise that she did not pretead to be interesting, and the only part of ber conversation I recollect is a lament over the interiority of meat in India, and a wonder that the Hindoos did not leave off wor- shipping idols when they were told it was wrong. Their son—of whom I saw a good deal, his regiment being then in garrison at Agra — wasa handsome young man, with very red whiskers, and a great, though siient esteem of himself; and of their daughter I know only that she was a young married iady of remark- y. snd had two reaily beautiful y3, around whom the whole family’s affection, and much of its pride waz gathered. The letters from Calcutta were full of them ; their sayings, their doings, and their general Togress. ‘They were the theme to which Mrs. ackson returned from the two leading subjects I have mentioned—the topic to which the law- yer came down from his official dignity, andon which the Captain condescended to unbend his wind. The twins were now in their fourth year, but the old people had not seen them since their firstsummer. The distance between Agra and Calcutta made the visit of the judge’s lady to her parents rather rare. However, in the third quarter of my acquaintance with the Jacksons, it was publicly announced that Mra. Lester was coming with the dear children, and I was engaged to paint their portraits. Like most families of distinction in British India, the Jackson's caught a considerable retinue. The requisitions of caste, which always limit the Iindoo’s labor, and the indo- lence superinduced by a tropical climate, con- tribute to augment the number of these house- hould troops. My friends had servants of all sorts and sizes; but among them there was none in wore esteem or trust hana native girl, who acted as Mrs. Jackson's own maid, and held beside sundry important offices, such as the charge of the household linen and the dealin; eatof the spices. They called her Zelle; ani when her good mistress was in a hurry, it be- came Sally sometimes, but I believe her proper name was Zelleya. She was a Pariah, atleast she did not object to do or touch anything; but her appearance had something of high caste in it, for that peculiar institution of India has the advantage of making the class :s known without the help of dress or equipage Zelle had the tall, siender figure, the features of that fine mould which might be termed the classical of Hindostan—the upright carriage and elastic grace. the long, sb ure vlive eumplexion, which distinguished the Sohesin sdaughter. She was young, too—I think net more than seventeen. By the way, that is not counted extreme youth in the East; hut there was acold glitter in her black eye, which. in spite of se much Leaaty. would not | have charmed me IL thought son had come to a different ¢ near neighl. almost a resident with his parents, and my fre- quent visits, in the double capacity of artist and friend to the family, enabled me to observe that Zolle s dress, which was a tasteful coin- promise be:ween the costumes of Europe and always more studied, and ber black more carefully braided, when the Captain was athome. Of course, it was by accident; but I once espied something very like an as- signation in the garden, though, from circum- stances too minute to be so long remembered, I believe that the siege did not advance as rapidly as the gallant Captain could have wished; and Mrs. Jackson bad a mighty opin- ion of her maid. It was not easy to make an ptuin Jack wasclever and handy. I was told she could mend and clear-starch, mark and cut out as well as any maid from England, that she never bad been ywn to tell a fib, bigek or white, Obio —Fo safety neclurion. The | rhood of his garrison made him | Scott, Todd & might be trusted with anybody’s wardrobe or jewel-case, and gave no trouble on the score of caste. Mrs. Jackson also said that the girl was sincerely attached to her family; and with good renson, for they had been great benefactors to and all ber relations; and the good woman was accustomed to relate how Zelle’s life, as well as that of her four sisters, had been saved in their infancy by the attorney general's in- terference with that peguliar institution which, in some parts of Hindoostan, saves the higher castes the trouble of providing trousseau and wedding feasts; how her mother had been pre- vented from becoming a sattee by Mrs. Jack- son's cousin, then in the Agra mission, ‘though the poor creature was seorned for it by all her heathen people, and somehow fell into the Jumna afierward;’ how her three brothers got advice and assistance from every branch of the Jacksons to take up honest trades, when the Company dispossessed them of some land to which they had no right in law; how, in consequence, one had a place in the custom- house, one had become a soldier in the cap- tain’s regiment, and one a small merchant in Agra. Mrs. Jackson always wound up that r cital of benefits bs stating that Zelle hai been three years at the school for native girls ; that she could read English as well as Hindoo- stanee; that she never refused a tract, and the missionaries had great hopes of her.
