FORT OF AGRA.

“ Let not any person decorate my tomb with any 
other thing than earth and flowers, for these are Attest 
for the resting place of a holy spirit. 
“ 1094 * 
“The perishable pilgrim, Jebanari Begum, the 
daughter of Shah Jehan, and a disciple of the Sainted 
Tchisti.” 
But to return from Delhi to the Moti Musjid; instead 
of attempting any farther description in words, I think 
I need make no apology for referring the gentle 
reader to the frontispiece of the volume, which has been 
very cleverly and carefully drawn by Mr. Roberts from 
my sketch, and which presents as faithful an idea of 
the building as it is possible to convey by art. 
When after a long walk spent in admiration of this 
truly beautiful building, I turned from the gate half 
blinded with the sparkling glitter of all around me, 
I could not resist the temptation of endeavouring to 
learn something more about Begum Jelianari from 
my intelligent young friend the Mussulman; but I 
found he could not indulge me. 
" Ah !” said the young fellow, with an audible sigh 
and a somewhat lack-a-daisical air ; “ Ah, Great Sir, 
what will not devoted woman do for the man she loves ?” 
“ Aye ! or a daughter for her father ?” said I. 
“That is very” true. Sir; the Begum was Shah 
Jehan’s daughter ; but your honour, to whom every 
thing is well known, must be familiar with that wise 
* Of the Hijera.
