No other cere- mony is observed at a Circassian bridal, except feasting and merry-making. At the break of day the youth departs with his wife, presents her to his parents, and she is installed in the dwelling appropriated for her near their house ; but, according to the custom of the people, her husband never visits her except by stealth, a degree of disgrace being attached to the man who devotes his time to the society of his wife. Polygamy is allowed ; but a Circassian is ge- nerally contente...d with one wife, or, at most, two.
A Circassian, during the prime of life, appears to avoid everything that may tend to render him effeminate, even the society of his wife and children. With the same view, he braves not CIRCASSIA. 329 only the inclemency of weather, but hunger and thirst ; and, although surrounded by plenty, he will travel for weeks with no better provision than the usual bag of millet and bottle ofskhou. Indeed, it is only when accompanied by a stranger, and then, through courtesy, or on days of public festivals, that these most abstemious people indulge in any thing like luxurious living.
