| GREYTowN, Sept. IL, 1851.
| The day dawned with it's usual splendor; myriads
of feathered songsters filed the air with their sweet
melodies; the placid waters in the Bay of Bluefeds
were undsturbed by single ripple. and the little
niggers sat on their launches, grinning with plea
sure and waiting for sunrise. All nature, in fne,
was in sweet repose. Suddenly the spell was bro
ken. The sound of horn was heard from the dis
tant hills startling the quiet citizens of Bluefels
from their sumbers. The signal was answered from
every hill and rivulet in the vicinity These sounds
were followed by the barking of dogs, screeching of
parrots, and beating of goats until all the discord
ant sounds known earth seemed mingled together
IN sweet confusion. The martial music approached
nearer and nearer and increased in volume until
fancied that Pharaoh had risen from his slumbers,
and was about to enter Bluefelds in his flaming
chariot, to be present at the royal marriage. In
few moments about three hundred half naked In
dams made their appearance at the main entrance
that leads to the palace. The Princess had arisen
from her couch of tigers skins, and was standing at
the main gate of the palace bare footed and devour
ing raw plantain The King soon made his APP
pearance, and addressed his subjects in the follow
ing eloquent language - Me big king. My sister
go marry niger. Ne no like it. Niger disgrace
Indian Cussed shame-I drown myself" His ma
jesty could say Overcome with grief, he
| entered the palace, threw himself upon pile of
dried hides, and there relieved the anguish of his
soul by giving vent to food of tears "Woh -
said his Majesty, eff me, big King, feel much bad
cos my sister marry niger, how common Mexican
feel when him dog die 2" 4
/ The royal palace was tastefully decorated with
highly scented hides Every preparation being made
for the celebration the Princess entered the palace
hall unattended except by her pet goat. Her beau
! tiful black hair, creased with possum fat hung in
profusion her shoulders, and contrasted finely
with her splendid dress, which made of coffee
sack. On the middle finger of her right hand she
wore rich and costly tin ring made from sardine
box. The guests were all assembled, but the happy
lover had not yet arrived The Princess became i'm
patient, and went to seek him. She found him play
ing at marbles. She accosted him thus: g Jim,
weddin all ready you no cum" Jim replied that

The Princess terrified !; but lucky thought
struck her. 'I m," said she, e bimeby my buther

feet. Jim threw his arms around the neck of the
Princess their lips met the sound that followed
