Hassan And Zoolma;

should set up for peculiar sanctity ; but she was a member of ( he household , and high in favour with her mistress , and who then should say nay ? In respect to Hassan the ceremony was performed with some pomp and circumstance . The whole of the Moolvees were expensively entertained , the requisite prayers read , and then Moolvee Ahumudy taking him into a closet , revealed to him those mysteries and precepts by which his life was to be afterwards guided he then brought him

; out to the public . The disciple reverenced his master ' s feet , that is , fell on his face before him , and then rising saluted the brethren present . The initiation of Zoolma was less ceremonious , and in private ; but she was fully admitted a member of this mysterious body . It was Zoolma ' s business , as being attached to the household , to go about in public ; it may be easily supposed , that the beauty which had excited such admiration in the breast of the youthful Hassancould

, not remain unobserved by others . It was in vain that she tried to hide her charms under the chudder , or cloth , which she kept close over her face . The bending down to lift up the water-pot , the brushing by of a careless passenger , or the blast of the fiery wind would cause the covering to go aside , and betray the beauty which it concealed . The undisguised admiration which she excited , and the casual remarks which she heard annoyed her so muchthat she kept at home as much as was

, possible . Still her passing and crossings in the crowd and about the court-yard of the building , in her necessary avocation , had given an opportunity for a tall , athletic fakeer to solicit her for alms , in a voice , however , which seemed to imply that he had other objects in view . This man she more particularly desired to avoid ;! but he seemed to have set a watch upon her going out and coming in . One evening Zoolma ' s

mistress had commanded her to go on some mission to a neigbounng shop , and she set out accordingly , but not without fear and trembling , anticipations which were shortly to be realised . Hassan , who had observed that Zoolma was frightened , was preparing to join her at a distance , but he was called away . The path was lonely , and as Zoolma returned from executing her commission , she was stopped by the object of her dread . He took advantage of the solitariness of the situation to interrogate her on her name and birthto which she gave replies as

, matters had been related to her by others . After many questions , to which she could give no satisfactory answers , the fakeer addressed her authoritatively , desiring her to come with him . He said that he could assure her a home , and every comfort which money could supply ; he darkly hinted that she was no slave by birth , and ought to be none , and that she should no longer continue one . Zoolma had thought to have been addressed in a very different tone , and one perhaps more

difficult to repudiate , but here she was strong . She boldly denied all the authority of the stranger to interfere , and avowed her resolution of remaining , at all hazards , where she was , bidding him , if he had claim to her , to bring it before Azim himself . Foiled in his attempts , the man grasped the damsel , and was dragging her away by force , when she uttered a piercing cry that soon brought down several of the people , who though not within eye-sight were near . The ruffian released his

hold , but not until he had succeeded in tearing from her arm a talisman or charm , enclosed in thin leaf silver , which she had worn there from her childhood upwards , and which had been , as she had learned , found round her neck when she was purchased . The fainting girl was borne to the college ,, where the outrage exciled very great indignation . All present asseverated that such a deed as this
