1t is said the Californians are born on horseback
it may also be said they are married on horseback
ne day the marriage contract is agreed ON between
the parties the bridegrooms first care is to buy OF
borrow the best horse to be found in the vicinity
AT the same time he has to get, by one of these
means. silver mounted bride, and saddle with
embroidered housings. This saddle must have also,
at Its STERN bridal pillion with broad aprons flow
ing down the TANKS of the horse. These aprons are
also embroidered with gold and silver thread
around the margin runs string of little steel plates
aiternated with slight pendants of the same metal
nese, as the horse moves, jingle thousand
mimic bells
The bride, also, comes in for her share in these
nuptial preparations. The bridegroom must present
ner with at least six entire changes of raiment
forget, through any sentiment of de1icacy, the
chemlse Such an oversight might Illustrate all his
nopes as it would be construed into personal ndi
ference, the last kind of indifference which Cali
torna lady will forgive. He therefore hunts this
article with much socitude the Peri. the gift
that was to unlock Paradise. Having found six,
which are neither too full too slender he packs
them in rose leaves, which to futter like his
own heart and sends them to the lady his bridal
present She might naturally expect him to come
next.
The wedding day having arrived, the two fine
horses procured for the OCCASION led to the door
saddled, bridled and plioned. The bridegroom
takes up before him the godmother, and the god
father the BRIDE and thus they gaop away to church
The priest in his richest robes receives them ut the
altar, where they kneel partake of the sacrament,
and are married. This over, they start on their re-
turn-but now the gentlemen change partners. The
bridegroom, still the pillion takes up before him
his bride. With his arm he steadies her the sad
de- and in his left hand holds the reins They re-
to the house of the parents of the BRIDE where
they generally received with discharge of mus
kerry. Two persons, stationed at some convenient
place, rush out and seize him by his legs, and
before he has time to dismount, deprive him of his
spurs, which he is obliged to redeem with bottle Of
brandy.
1.-THE married couple then enter the house. where
the relatives all waiting in tears to receive
them. They kneel down before the parents of the
lady, and crave blessing, which is bestowed with
patrarchal solemnity. On rising the bridegroom
makes a signal for the guests to come in, and an
other for the guitar and harp to strike up. Their
commences the dancing which continues often fol-
