Had we been born in similar untoward circumstances--we tremble to think of it! The weddings are celebrated with as much jollity as weddings are anywhere.

We witnessed one in the house of our friend the Padre.

It being the marriage of his goddaughter, he kindly invited us to be partakers in his joy; and we there became acquainted with old Donna Engenia, who was a married wife and had children, when the slaves came from Cassange, before any of us were born.

The whole merry-making was marked by good taste amid propriety.

There, in the feeders of the stream Revubue, it crops out in cliff sections.
