Second Child of Juius Garesche and his wife Mariquitta.

" A little before five o'clock on Saturday, the 21st of June, she was de-
livered of a beautiful little girl, that I wished to baptize at once, as the
Doctor thought she could not live long. But she lived six hours ; God who
had preserved her so miraculously already upon this occasion, did not will
that she should lose her baptism, and it appears since, that my baptizing
her was not necessary. Father Domenech, whom I had immediately sent
for, arrived very shortly, and baptized her under the names of Marie
Louise Octavie. Mariquitta had always counted on calling her Octavie.
In the afternoon our little darling was buried ; four young Officers carried
the bier to the Church, and she was placed beside her brother by the kind
permission of Abbe Domenech. I do not think that I shall ever be able to
forget how sweet to my heart was the first cry- of that little darling, that
I feel I should have loved so much I with, at the same time, the cessation
of the moans and cries of my dear Q.uiquitta, which had so long torn
asunder my heart !
