gloriously bright, clear days .nd
night Excepting three showers. Of
the m"st refreshing character, we
have have had no rain. The heat
of the equatorial regions has been
modified by the Trade Winds to
such degree that we might fancy
ourselves out upon our own waters
in the month Of June. The third
Sabbath, Feb. 4th, came clear and
beautiful. On the morning "f this
day we saw the coast of Brazil for
the first time. All day we sailed
within about eight miles of the shore.
It was hiIly, heavily.wooded coun-
try. For more than three weeks we
had gazed upon an ocean-bound
horizon. Now the solid earth was
good to look upon. At night we
saw fires ulong the shore. How we
longed to look upon that savage
people! On Monday morning, Feb.
5tl,, we were Informed that . little
stranger" had arrived during the
night-a little girl. Tho mother is
a pretty, lady-hke Englishwoman,
| wife uf shoemaker. ,ss' e.

with staternoms tor about eighty
passengers, 81 that we are all as CON-

luxuriant, but quite varied and
abundant. Mr.. Mercer presides ut
the head Of our table, easily aud
gracefully dispensing the substan-
tails. l have the good fortune to
sit near him and endeavor to sustain
my part of the gay and witty conver-

1t rained for three hours on
Wednesday, Feb. 7th. Thursday the
sea was very rough, but the sky
bright above IA, the passengers gay
aud happy, save few ladies who
always become sick when the sea is
rough. Poor things There is a
glorious exhileration in the dash of
tho great waves. Feb. 10 was u
very exciting day. We were rapid
ly approaching Rio. The scenery
was very grand. Some distance but.
side the Harbor, we saw Nestled
among the mountains, an old mOnas-
tery with two towers. We were in.
formed that it was over two hundred
years old. Its great relic is y basin
IN which Christ is said to have
bathed. The entrance to the har-
bor Of Rio Janeiro 10 guarded un
both sides BY isolated mountain
peaks rising directly out Of the water.
Finally, We calIne to . passage abost
half mile in width. with high rOcks
on each .ide, and 1t their bases furts
which look formidable to civilian
