1 86 the Indian coltage, a tale. Oct. 2, 
_ received in return that of the paria, of which the tube was of bamboo, 
and the head of baked clay. , 
Then he called upon his servants who were all benumbed with 
the cold of the night, and after having embraced the paria, he moun- 
ted his palanquin. The paria’s wife, bathed in tears, stood alone at 
the door of the kut holding her child in her arms; but her hufband 
accompanied him to the fkirts of the forest, loading him with bene- 
dictions, ‘ May God be your reward, said he, tor your goodnefs to- 
wards the unfortunate. May he accept my life as a sacrifice for yours. 
May he conduct you safe to England, that land of learned men, ahd 
of friends, who seek the truth all over the world to promote the hap-. 
pinefs of mankind.’ ‘The doctor answered, ‘ I have travelled over 
half the globe, and have seen every where error and strife ; I have 
found truth and happinefs in your cottage alone.” Saying these words 
they parted in tears. The'doctor was already pretty far advanced 
on the plain, and he still saw the good paria at the foot of a tree, ma- 
king signs with his hands to bid him adieu. 
The doctor on his return to Calcutta embarked for Chandernagore, 
from whence he set sail for England. 
On his arrival at London he sent the ninety bales of manuscripts to 
she president of the royal society, who deposited them in the Britith 
vauseum, where the learned are employed to this day in making’ of 
them translations, indexes, eulogiums, criticisms, and pamphlets. 
As for the doctor, he kept for himself the three answers of the pa- 
ria respecting truth; he smoaked often with his pipe; and when any 
one afked him what he had learned most useful in his travels, he an- 
swered, ‘It is necefsary to seek truth with a single heart free from 
prejudice: that we can find it only in nature ; and that we ought to 
communicate it to the virtuous alone.” To which he added,‘a good 
wife alone makes a man happy.’
