/ have read In the Big Veda another &C.
count Of the same transaction. The Supreme
Brahma made man and woman and placed
them on the Island of Ceylon. There was o
little strip Of land uniting the island to the
main land, and they were told they could go
where they pleased but not leave The island.
Then the Supreme Brahma said 1t Is very
desirable that they should have q courtship,
and what courtship that was. No prospec-
tive father-in-law or mother-in-low, no neigh
bUrs They fell in love with each other, for.
said the Brahma 1t Is my desire that they
should love before marriage. When read this,
i said If any enc of these stories turns out
to be true, / will believe this one. But the
man became restless He recollected the
words Of Horace Greeley about going West,
and went to the west of the island, where
Lie saw the most beautiful vision on the main
land. He told Eve he was about to emigrate,
but HhR, like q woman, said, LET well enough
alone" But he would not, but took her on
his back and carried her to the main land
When he arrived there the mirage was dis
pelled, and there was nothing but rocks and
desolation. When the Brahma was about to
punish them the man said, Curse me and
not her. for 1t was my fault
That's the kind Of man you want to start
world with But the woman asked to share
the n3an's punishment, and the Supreme
Brahma spared them both. To tell you the
truth, really wish from the bottom of my
heart that the Brahminical story was true.
Honor bright, don't you believe it Is true?
