Description

Excerpt from Leaves of Thought Secure the inhabitants of our modern mansions much more elegant and convenient than the heavy, prison barred doors and window shutters that stand as monu ments of the olden times. But the wide halls and spacious corridors that serve as entrances to some of the venerable old castles of the luxurious Creole, are much more to our liking, after all, than the narrow, restricted openings to the houses of later date; and the solidity of masonry that obtains in the one, while being more permanent, gives greater security against the dampness always prevalent in this climate. Be sides, there is about these old dwellings an aspect of independence and comfort, quite unrestrained by the ephemeral taste of the age we live in. The inmates appear to enjoy life, too. As we look in through some of these open corridors or gateways, we frequently see tasty green shrubbery and choice plants of various kinds adorning the yard; perchance the proud, broad leaved, but not always yielding, banana tree; while we never miss seeing the brick pavement therein nicely cleansed and reddened over with paint pro duced from its own dust - an observance almost pecu liar to the Creole, and sustained, apparently, with a religious enthusiasm. In days gone by, perhaps more than at present, we would also see collected around or scampering joyfully and carelessly about these places.
