'Nor in the town, nor among the caste, could anyone impugn the act, tIt had been involuntary and public. Thous- ands had witnessed it, and they bore testimony of the holy fervour which had animated Tara and all who ac- companied her from the tenpple. All seemed to have caught a portion of the divine manifestation and enthusi- asm. So every one said that the beautiful daughter of Vyas Shastree had be- come a Moorlee or .priestess of the temple, and that the goddess had her- self called her from her disgrace of widowhood to the glory of her own service. \\'as not this better than worldly ties, Now she ,was free!' Did '"Para think so? I't was many weeks ere the feverish excitement passed away, during Which the lov- ing eyes glowed with unnatural lustre and a fierce fire seemed to possess her. It was.. to be expected; and she had skilful and tender attendance. 1Vith perfect rest and ,quiet 'and 'sim- ple remedies, it would pass away, they said, and it did so gradually, and Tara arose weaker, but calm, By-and- by she lroulil he allowed to make her sacrificial offerings,but not yet; and till then her /beloved books. the house- hold worship, and occupation, were enough to occupy her, "Tine enough," said the old Pundit who frequently visited •her and had become interested in her, "with a life of service to be done. i\Vhen' you are, strong, Sou shall come to nisi but not tial then." \Vas Tara satisfied? If the dread of her shame had been removed, the void in her heart :hath not as yet been filled; but the new life had to begin, and she would do her best, and so she comforted ,herself, 'Were others satisfied? Yes. As we have said, most who knew her envied her Li but some sneered, and already, shook their heads. One man bad looked at the dis- traught girl, as she was placed in the litter and covered with garlands, who was satisfied, yet not as •the rest. More beautiful in the unconsciousness of her excitement than he had ever seen her before, -far more so, to his sight, than she had ever appeared while ordinarily attending the temple warship wish her mother, and where he had watched her for months past, Moro Trimmul had joined the throng in order to observe her better. Being a .Brahmun, he had closed yup to the edge of the litter bareheaded and un- noticed, singing the 'hymns as one of the attendant priests, and had thus been able to accompany the proces- sion, gloating upon the girl's loveli- ness with an unholy desire. As the litter was taken up he fell out of the procession, and, watching it depart, sat down alone on the edge of the cliff looking over the plain, and h y the side of a small stream which, is- suing from the Pap-nas temple, fell down the face of the rock in a sheet of foam. A girl's voice aroused him from a reverie w'hic'h we dare not fol- low-. "So the Pundit is not dancing 'back to -the town as he came out, with the new -lfoorlee," she said ironically. ":nor thou, either, Gunga. Dost thou not welcome a,new priestess " "I' marvel at it," she continued' with a sneer; "thou wast looking enough at hGr. T •dance before' her?

"!Love thee!" returned the man, bit- terly—"yes, as thou canst be loved— by gold. Hark ye, 'Gunga, make her P.5 thou ant; gat her into my power, and I will give thee a waistbelt of gold." "As heavy as hers?" cried the gid, excitedly, "Thou shalt weigh the one against the other and thine shalt turn the scale -will that content thee?" •. "Wilt thou?—shall it? Swear it "on my ncc.k` and feet to give this, and I will do thy will. Yes, to humble her pride and her fa'ther's—who drove me from the temple one day, and I have hated hint ever since, I shall hate thee. too, afterwards; yet I will do cried the girl, excitedly clapping her hands—"yet 1 will do it. "I swear," said the man, touching her neck. "Conte and sit here by toe." She did so, but neither spoke for some time. "Thou hast a sister, Moro .Pundit. and she is beautiful. She ought to have been married ere this. A. little more time, and can it be, done?" she said, breaking the silence. The' Brahman winced "She was betrothed once," he said, "but the titan died." "Perhaps' She was married," contin- ued the ,girl, with a'snee-, "and she is as Tara iBye, or worse. Is it not so?" "No! : by the great .goddess, no!" cried the .Pundit, sharply, and with flashing eyes. "Breathe such' a thing. and I will have thy life..Beware what thou sayest, even to toe! A word more, and I fling thee down the pre- cipice! "0, I care not for my life," said the girl carelessly, "the .Mother takes care of that, and "I will say not'h'ing, !est I should lose my pretty gold zone. But \vhat of thy sister?

"Gunga," said ,the ,Brahmin, after' a pause, ".If thou canst bring this about—if thou canst get the speech of this Shastree": "Let one speak to the girl first, Radha,' that is her name, is it not Let me see if she is resolute and as I hear of her. 11 •she be, s/he shall have her desire; thou shalt have thine; and I—ani, yes!

"`Yes, surely it is strange that the two nativities s'ho'uld fit no exactly," said Vyas Shastree to himself, some clays after the events retarded in ,the last chapter, as, seated by 'himself upon his ciias, and •;having given ord- ers not to be disturbed, he appeared absorbed in a .,table of nativity wihich lay 'before ,ham; "yes, it is strange in- deed. The date of. birth. the signs un- der which she was born, and the few calculations which 'have been made by a master hand; all agree, as they oug'h't to do; and the result, as I have worked it out, is clear enough. This gird, born at Wye, an titter stranger to pie hitherto, and brought here by a chance pilgrimage, is proposed for nue; and Aitunda, Tara, and the old Tosee will have it so. Yes, it is a cur- ious coincidence indeed; but let me test these fornntlae again; there may be error." • /While ,the S'liastree is busy with some curiously. abstruse calculations Upon his own and the ' other 'horo- scope, he is considering, We must di- gress a, little, to show by what steps 'Gunga's pians, roughly shadowed out to \[oro 'Trimmul, as we have re- corded, were apparently fast approa- ching a satisfactory completion. ;Negotiations had been satisfactor- ily opened by Aunn da •with Sultya Bye, the aunt of Moro 'rrinimul. This lady had, indeed, .already become a great favorite with *nuncio and Tara and she had been guided in her inter- course with them by the directions of Gunge. Eventually the giestion of marriage, or otherwise, having pass- ed the ladies favorably, rested with the •Shastree himself. The caintrivan ces by vols icli the re- suit had teen brought about w'ere'ati- parently, too simple to cause suspic- ion, Yet ,they had been produced by carefully designed arras -gement, It was, first ofall necessary to get 'Sok- va Bye and Anomie acquainted, add this ncas brought' .about at the ,tem'p'le on the night of the ceremonies of the last fall 'stools. The wife` of the chief priest had the power to render the performance of The necessary `w•or- ship convenient to any one, she pleas- ed. 'She could direct special, attend- ante by assistant priests on bier friends, and could reserve seats for them, on 'which they could see and hear to the best advantage. So ,as ISulcya' Bye, w•hose figure and dress bespoke her rank' and respectability. was apparently vainly endeavoring to reach the shrine to make her offer- ings with other women,-aG anga, see- ing her hustled and pushed a'b'out, as- sisted her as 'far as possible; and, feigning to be unable to do more, ap- pealed to Anunda, who 'h'ad herself noticed the old lady's struggles, for assistance to her. 'Suloya Bye was one with winonm it was no degradation to be seen as- sociating. ;Her tarn! !figure,` dressed in the richest of p'l'ain', si'ltkgarments and the heavy gold rings she wore round her arms, wrists and ankles, betoken- ed wealth, as did her shaved head that she was a widow; and the stout Mah ratta serving -men,, who, armed with sword and ' hu'ckier, attended ' her, proved that she was of some rank, certainly of very respectable position. IGunga had left' her tinder Acunda's care, and ere the ceremony was con- cluded the lackies had become excel- lent friend's. It will be 'remembered that Amanda herself was from the western provinces of the: D'eleh'an, anal the dialect and intonation of the, lady Sukya sounded ple'as'antly •in her. cars. Questions -were asked, some mit- tual acquaintances discovered, and a visit by Anunda soon followed. •1'foro Tritnmul, ,his aunt, and sis- ter, lived or lodged but a short dis- tance from the Shastree, and it soon' came to ,pass that the ladies visited' each other frequently. "Stilcya had a point' to gam, so had her niece Raclin. and both worked in concert with 'the. girl Gunge, to whom w'haitever hap- pened was related. Her fresh instruc-' tions from day to day guided the'nv: perfectly, notonly to gaining the nuc ill of mother and daughter, but of establishing a more affection- ateinterest in their concerns than, would otherwise have arisen out of a common acquaint:+raux 1. bndcyct, proud of her own birth and connections, found Anunda perfectly in accord smith herself on that sub- Iect,-She saw the wealth and comfort of the /house, she led An'tuada to cit- tail their domestic cares, and offered her sympathy, whicl,''w'a's a•ccep,tcd. "Ali, ya's, 11 the'rS'hastree .would only marry again!" said Anuiid'a to her in fi emote `ani here should be a rail d t s son born they would take him to /Be - nares and devote him to Siva. They. had wealth; -'yet wit'hou't 'this it was a wueighrt and care to 'thein', which i•n crcase.cl rather than •di'm'inis'hed." ])wring these visits of con'fiden'ce between the el'd'ers, Tiara and Radlh'a bild their o'wn pleasant time, too, and Tara's trustful nature was easily, won' by the other. iRacTh'a was ignorant, it was true, but she was 'to all :appear- a•tice aped -hearted aisd simp]e,,, and she soon learned to feign. that ne'v'er- entia] yet intimate associaltion with the beautiful widow and her another, which Gttnga counselled, and which was indeed necessary to the success of the whole scheme. For some days An'un•cia made no communication to 'Su'ky'a Bye on the subje'ct nc'are•st her heart; btit as She saw the •intiniaicy o•f tise two girls in- crease; and that the intercourse iaad served to turn Tara's thoughts into new channels, and also that she her- self, as she gradually gained strength always found pretext for a. daily visit to her young friend, the thought gra- dually pressed the more upon her mind, that here was a connection which was most desirable for her hus- band; and, finally, the question alone remained, whether Radha's family would consent. Tara shad no objection either. In- deed, from bhe first 'sight o.f Radha's present extreme beauty, and pronti•se 'of" its development—from her respect- ful, nay reverential, demeanour to her mother, and her apparently lav- ing trustfulness of herself—she, too, 'began to think that a better "selection cauld not be made, if her father were w•illiug to take a second wife, than this girl. ;S'o she grew to wish it. Therefore, with much exhortation to privacy, and inthe fullest acsur an of 'confidence, ,Ancnda !sack ven- tured to ask 'Sulcya /Bye:after .all re- serve had been broken down, wheth- er the alliance m'igh't he hoped for. She d•weit at length upon Ther hus- b<and's accomplishment and his wealth.: He was not o'id; many omen married far beyond his age, Money was no object—it •could be paid if necessary; and she 'herself would be as a mother, and Tara, a sister, to the neli' wife. In'short .Anun'de opened lief whole heart to her new friend,, and in the olid she foauul the'sympatliy she had expected. Yes, the more Sukya 'Bye considered the matter, the more, as she told A'nunda,:was she convinc- ed it would 'be"an adifiira'ble arrange- ment. Radha'had once been betrothed as a there child; the person had died lately, else they would have :been married this 'year. Delay /had occurred because' the intended husband was poor. He hac] not 'sufficiciat to pay the expenses 'of the ceremonies. ,Then Rad'ha's father brad died, then her loa- ther, when Moro Triuunul was as yet a youth: IHe had 'made iso provision for 'his sister. !How could he? ,So she remained unmarried Another con- nection must have been sougiht for this year and Anomie's proposal visas admira'b'ly timed. 'Now, all this was true enough in some respects, but not entirely. It was enough, 'however, for two per- sons to believe, whose affections were already enlisted in the progress of the m'at'ter; :and such inquiries as they could make from people who dcne'w :Wye, conllrnied 'what had been told them by their new acquaintance. Was •the girl herself -wiiiiii'g? Ap'p•arently she was. And she received, with abii :the bashfulness and interest necessary to the occasion, the proposal made t to her by Tara an the partofher"aiio- ther. Anunda had hack her fears; on this subject, lest the young and beau- tiful 'girl should refuse to ratify `what her aunt had proposed;' but beyoand. natural shyness there seemed asp orb-. ]talon. One doubt only remained,—were the -horoscopes of the parties in good accordance? "Moro 'Trimmed," Sudcya Bye said, "would never' consent ' to give:.his sister where theplanets diel not provide good forbene—in short, till he was: sa•tislfi ec] there was no -cer- emonial objection or direct •hindrance. And''before the proposition was made to the'Sthhastrce, before, in short, the men were to discuss iSa proposed' :ar- rangement, Moro Trinnsul' wished to see the,'Slias'tree's horoscope in order that the last point of doubt should be removed." H'e also would give Isis sister's to the Slliastree, if the propos- al were to be persevered in, Very unsuspectingly,- therefore, clic! Antioch' take .the scheme of her hus- band's natiw!ty,rliis from the casket in which it was ,kept. and, with many inliunctians as to i,t's safety, gave i1 to Suitya Bye: It was not ]oil detained; and she was ,by grati- fied Gel hearing that fd�cJoaee, seated in an, adjoining apartment, consider- ed it a nios•t 'Happy -oiie. "Might he copy` a few portion's, they hadbeen. so admirably calculated," And the dance made no objection. 'Certainly the plan had been well laid, and as yet well executed,, No very sleep, persuasions werenecessary wvth these: simple uns'as'pcctin,g People. The idotlier and daughter h'a'd yielded long ago; and •the result of. •the eaamination of the :Shasarec's Ju ninon Pdtr had removed the l•ast ob- stacle co'ceri'ed• !nut. The stacle whirl 17 1 matter, as -arranged, should be biro= ken' to hint that evening on his return trona the temple. And .the lady'Sulcy'a suggested that he shou'l'd exannine her niece's harotsc'o'pe as co'rrobara'tive of his own. So Moro Trini'nml Earl that day put .the finishing touch to his work. 'IIe had 'been concealed when the lady ,Anunda brought the paper we have mentioned; he hind rapidly copied the principal points in the table, and not- ed all the most remarkable of the bit- ter indications exhibited; and he Iene'iv that before' evening the could prepare a corresponding document re- garding his sister, which t'ise Shastree hinnselif ,could nett detect. This was a 'branch of science which 'A4'oro Tri'm- mul had studied deeply; and it .was wroth perfect confidence that he fol- lowed the astrological combinations relating to the Shastree, and const- ructed, yelt not with too m'inu'te de- tail, the table in his sister's name. Few, H'ind'u parents care" to have the Junum Putr, or. "birth leiter," of their daughters worked au't; but after Moro Trinnnnil ,had cast the table it- self on an imaginary date of birth, two years later than the real age of his sister, and as if it had been done ,carelessly and then abandoned, the followed up several of the formulae indicated, leaving the last inconnplete. He felt assured, therefore, when the paper was submitted to the !Shastree, that he would h'imsel'f carry out the 'las't calculation, wh'i'ch had been so arranged as to lead to the present time, and to a combination, with. his A'll had been fin'isheei. The paper on Which it was written was new, but it was not paper of that part of the country; 1t was from kris own district.. An ornamental border was quickly drawn round it, in red, black, and yel- low lines; the signatures of the wit- nesses to his sister's original and true Junin Ruts were carefully copied; fi- nally, t'he whole document was held over wood -smoke til' it was of a pro- per browna •color, then rubbed ' and frayed at the edges, and creased here and there as if it had been often ex- amined; and, lastly, it was perfumed with camphor to remove the smell of wood -smoke and with the odour: of benzoin and sweet ,pastille, No one, withal much difficulty, could 'have detected the forgery; •anti, without suspicion the Shastree had set h'iniself. to work out the problem'left 'utiifinish- ed -the occupation Which we have al- ready noted 'On leaving their friends after this early visit,- in which tine,Juauns Putr 'was taken, Aanunda and Tara had de- termined to 'lose no further t'irne in breaking the matter; to the Shastree. lit was a fortune day as they had Been' told by the old astrologer, t'lie. Shas- tree's friend whom they •consulted as they 'went Moline; Whatever they did was sure to prosper. The Shastree isa's in good humour with himself, with 'them, and with the world generally,. and for many' reasons. His greatest care about Tara had !leen removed: 'S'he had been accepted al a votary of the goddess, 'and had already recover ed 'froom her excitement. 'Ile had writ- ten w'itis others a joint ,petition to the "S'wa'mi" on the subject, and she had been duly recognized by her spiritual prince. ,No fear of reproach now exist - 'ed; and if the Spastree had ` 'at first winced at the idea of his daughter be- coming a Mooa'lee, 'a public votary of the 'tem'ple, the feeling was passing away.

The crop yeas fine; there were no remissions needed; prices were high, ,and the rent had been punctually plaid. The pro- duce of the gard'en's and farms was also good this year, and the fees and dues- from pilgrims were abundant. This was a special year for pilgrim- ages to the shrine, and full moon af- ter full moon the crowd would' in- crease. "What are we to do with it all?"
