V'Ata 111.--THE VELEM°.
'the gathering into which Perico had intro
duced
me presented a most singular epecta=
cle. Somelscore or more of.men and women
of the lower class of people, were crowded
together talking, shouting and gesticulating.
A fetid corpse-like odor, mingled - with cigar
smoke, and the fumes of Xeres wine, and of
Chi; iiiirilo (a sort of brandy maN_Srom su- -
g. cane,) filled the room.
~
In the , corner of the apartment, Was a table
covered With provisions of every kind, \ and
cups, bottles and flagons: At a table nT
by were gathered some gamblers, who were
mingling with the clashing, of their brass
money, all the technicalities of the Monte,
and_ disputing,with, El warmth heightened by
the liquor, over piles of cuartellas and I elatoo
(Mexican 'coins of the smallest value.) Un
der the triple inspiration of the wine, the wo
men and the' game, the orgies, which I had
thus surprised' in its first stage, began rapid
ly to increase in fury and; excitement. But
that which struck me most; was precisely that
which seemed to occupy the assassins least.
A young chil l , who apparently had scarce at-'
tained•the age of seven years, woe 'extended
upon a table. Her pale face, covered with
flowers, withered by the almost insupportable
and stifling heat of the atmosphere, and livid
emaciated lips, evinced That life had departed I
frentlimr—aridy, dr 1 . .-ts -i : - 3 r - '*--- --- - -
nal s eep, Amid all this shouting, langhing,
and gambling, this noisy conversation, these
men'and women who acted like so many sav
ages, this little 'corpse had an appearanci
most strange and. mournful. The flowers'
and other decorations with which they - had
covered the corpse, so fax.from detracting
from its mournful repulsiveness, only served
I, render it still mdrehideous. Such was the
as um to which I had been led, through the
ingenle#ssolictude of Perico. .
A gene 1 silen s ce followed our entrance in
' tia,the room. A man lat once recognized as
the master of th house, and as , the father of
the dead infant, ros to receive us. So; far
from seeming overburdc ed with grief, on the
contrary he appeared radiart with content
ment, and it was even with 'at air of pride
that he pointed' to the number of ; guests as
sembled to cerebrate with him the death of his
daughter , regardipg it ns a favor from heav
en that God had designel to re-call to him
self an infant, before it rnd attained the age
orreason. He assured tie that we were wel
come to his house, and that for his he should
ever regard uelis friends. Thankg to the lo
quacity of Peri O, I was rendered the centre
of attraction, a d a most difficult part I had
to,uatain, P o declared to all those who
desired to knoW, that it was impossible to kill
a man with a happier grace than I had shown. ,
in order the better to sustain my new char
acter, I hastened to thrust my gloves into my
pockets, and to at sumo an air of swaggering
bravado, persuaded that it was always pru
dent to "howl with the wolves.'? -
"What do you think of the lodging that j
have fOund for you," asked Peripo of me, rub
bing
his hands, "is it note much better than
the one I promised? Besides, you Will have
an 'opportunity of participating in a velorio.
It is a resource, on the night of sorrow, for
amusement and relief. Thanks to me, also,
you have, acquired by this a claim to the eter.
nal care of the father, whose :infant having
died before the age of seven is now in heaven."
.• And Perko, doubtless eager to secure for
himself a share in this tribute of gratitude;
seized without any ceremony upon an enor
mous jar of Chfngtiirito, and emptied it at a
single draught. ,It wee the first time that I
was aware of so barbarous a custom, as thie,,
which required the father of a family, to re
strain his tears and dissimilate his , grie(un
der a smiling outside, and to present the hon
ors of his house to every vagabond, who on
the direction of a watchman, came to gorge
himself with viands and wines in the presence
of,the corpse of his daughter, and to partake
of those !impales, which frequently the ilea
day gave up a whole family to misery. •
Ity the time that the orgies s ere fully re.
mewed,' I had recovered sufficle tof miself 7
possession, to; cast my eyes around me. I
perceived in the midst of a 'group of those
meddling women who make it, their duty nev
er to miss one of these evenings of the dead,
a mouth Whialr endeavor
a pale countenance,
ed to smile r notwithstanding the eyes were
ffiled with tears, and in that victim of 'this

SCENES FROM MEXICAN LIFE.
of the poor woman. Some recounted the va
rious phrases df the malady , and ; the suffer
ings of the young deceased, while'others enu
merated the s variotis infallible remedies they
would hivettpplied, had they been consulted
in time; such as the Plaster of St. 'Nicholas,
the steam from a plant gathered through a
piece of the frock of a •Domillican; and the
poor mother believing them- all, turned to
hide her tears, fully convinced that these rem
edies would have had the effect to save her
child. The Xeres wine; and the cigarettes
- were passed around duiring these ccnsullationi,
which over, they roposed and went through
with all the innocent games in vogue in
Spanish America. Then some of the chil
dren,overcome with fatigue, sought repose
in Aho corners of the room, as if they envied
the sleep of her whose pale face under the
Withered flowers, appeared as if protesting
ligeinst this odious profanation of the dead.
Retiring behind the heavy embrasure of
one of the windOws which looked out upon
the street, I folrowed7ith anxious eyes and
with much, imjuitude the movements of Peri
co. It appeared to me Oita he had imposek
thia protection upon I me far the l lpurpose of
'some. trap. Illy physiognom y I st have be

me and said , in a sort i,feonsolat ry manner--

welt furnished; in case I should break the
bunk of the monte, IPromise to give you half

I did not think it, prudent to meet this de
mand of Perico's with a refusal. If he par
ticipated in the game of monte still going on
I would be relieved fcir some time from a com
panion,' who had ‘beeeme very impoittine, and
I therefore slipped a fpw dollars into the braid
of Perico. Just at this moment R bell sound
ed, when one of the crowd raised himself; and
exclaimed in a solemn tone,
"It is the hour of I the suffering souls.;-let
us pray." -
The gamblers ceased, husiness or amuse;
ment: of evertkind was.suspended, and all in
,the room were, on their knees. The prayer
.waii commenced in a loud tone, interrupted at
intervaisby the responses, and for the first
time they appeared to recollect the cause of
their gathering.

struggling with a desire to sleep; but this
passed tit.; the revel became more noisy, and
assumed an aspect eVen of a kind of delirium
and frenzy, -it was the hour of the orgic the
the moment had arrived. -
Thad resumed my post in the embrasure of
the window, and in order to escape a denire
to sleep, produced by the mephitis air of the
room; I had half, opened the window. Look
ing forth, I , sought to read in the stars the
hour, and I strove also to bring to my recol
lection a chie through the labyrinth of streets
I hed traversed; but it was in vain; I could
recal nothing in the city of Mexico like this
