Such for instance are their oaths by stones, their reverence of cairns and holy trees, and their ordeals of fire and water, the Bolungo of Western Africa.
It is probable that the statues at El Salto were brought out from the cairns into the plain, and publicly thrown down, defaced, and broken, when the Spaniards first took possession of the Juigalpa district, and forced Christianity upon the Indians; for the conquerors everywhere overthrew and mutilated the "idols" of the Indians, set up the cross and their own images, and forced the people to be baptised.
Very many men had thus prayed upon the summit of the Hill of Dreams in the days gone by. Its top was strewn with offerings. It was a sacred place. Sometimes the stone cairns did not withstand the wolves, but none the less the place was consecrate. Hither they bore the great dead.
As I have said before, I was constantly blazing trees and even making drawings upon them; and I would have left records in cairns had I been able to make any writing material. Talking about this, I was for a long time possessed with the desire to make myself a kind of paper, and I frequently experimented with the fibres of a certain kind of tree.
The sowing and planting had been on a limited scale this spring, and all outdoor matters, except what pertained to the dairy, could very well be attended to by James Cairns, their hired man, who was strong and willing. So Annie and Sarah were in the house, and the little ones went to school as soon as the summer weather came.

Vina covered her face, but made no sound. "She will take the little one," said the voice above them. Both women turned their eyes to Bedient. Mary McCullom smiled shyly. "I remember David Cairns," she said, in an awed tone. "This is not " "No, dear, but it is enough. I will take your baby."
I hope in a week or ten days to have Mackonochie ready that is, if I am not smothered in the meantime by the books and pamphlets which the Ritualists daily shower upon me. Yours faithfully, CAIRNS. As the general election had left his party in a minority of about 130, Disraeli resigned on December 4th, and Mr.
The Lord Lieutenant, being slightly indisposed, had been unable to make an early start, so the most honourable stranger was Mr. Chesney, the Chief Secretary. To him Professor Cairns attached himself, and received a share of the Reverend Mother's blandishments. Mr. Chesney himself was dapper and smiling as usual.
