WITH THE GUEREILLEROS * \

"The sharp, cleir crack of & pistol shot.And then an appalling b imp, and theheavy vehicle we were traveling in reeledlike a ship struck by a great wave.

" In an instant, I saw the scared face ofthe mayoral of the coach looming pallidthrough the window. As a preliminarymeasure, I smashed the glass with the buttend of one of my revolvers, and asked themayoral what was the matter.

" The mala gente! the mala gente!.theOuerrillerot, the brigands!' he murmured.

44 Hound of a lepero!' I shouted, openingthe door, jamping out, and seizing him bythe throat. 'Hijo de Pcrro!.'tis thou who,knowing I had onzae de oro with me, hastgiven information to the mala gente. Ipropose,' I added camly, 'to blow thybrains out.'

" The poor devil fell upon his knees,and vowed by Our Lady of Qua lalupe, andall tin saints* in the Mexican hagiology,that he had nothing to do with the ambuscadeinto which, it appeared, we had fallen.Nay, he pointed to the blunderbuss he carried,and telling me that it was loadedwilh slugs, and that he had plenty more

powder and shot in his pouch, he proposedthat we should go forward and fight themala aente to the death, bidding: me toblow his brains out, &a I bad promised, atthe first sight of any prevarication or complicitywith the brigands on his part. Icould not but believe him ; and it turnedout that he was a very honest fellow, andper'ectlv innocent of any criminal cognizanceof the Guerrilleros' designs.

" This is not always the case witli mayorala;and at least two-thirds of the organizedattacks on diUjencias are 'put up' robber'es.due to the mail coach guards or thepo-tlllions being in league with the robbers."There had b^en sixteen of us ; and a

rapid council of war being held, it was

found that thirteen of our number wero

ready to fight, as* a Yankee irreverontlybat truly put it, 'till the bottomless pit w»sfull to the bung.' Fighting was, of course,not to be liougbt cf in the case of two

prietts, who did nothing but yelp 'Muerte!muerte!' and invoke Our Lady of Guadalupe.So we put the reverend padre* Intothe interio? of the carriage, and set a"French commercial traveler to mount ~

guard over them anl the baggage; an 1then, forming ourselves into a compactlittle phalanx, sqd with the muzzles of ourfirearms radia iqg from a common centre,in a quadrant, we marched forward to seewhat was the matter."There was very much the matter if,

deed. Deducing the two priests, theroshould still h-ve been fourteen combatantsleft; and. as 1 have said, wo wero

but a doren end one. including the mayoral.The fou te nth man was the conchman; and him, poor fellow, wc found lyingamong the frigh.ered mules, s nrk dead,with h's skull smashed by a pistol bullet.We were at ti e very head of a barranca.the embankment < n " tlier side leingnearlyperpei)d'Viilar. ami r.t least twenty feet

" But the hat of the brigand chief ?" Iinquired."Ah! the hat.el sombrero golonado,"

Captain Bois Tore returned, somewhatmusingly. " There was something queerabout that. When we came to strip thedead rascal, and remove the mask from hisface, we found that he was an Indian, andthat Indian was Caiaphas, ihe major-domoof Don Jaeobo. He must have changed bbclothes with wonderful celerity to followon our track so quickly ; but it was afterwardsdiscovered that he had been foryears, siib rosa, a captain of Guerrilieros.Whom can we trust after this?

A. TERRIBLE NIGHT*

When I was British Consul at Rio Janerio,I passed a night of horror, whichmorning revealed under the most painfullydistressing circumstances, and the mornfulresults of which could have been aj

easily prevented had it not been for negligenceon my part, that I have never

ceased to blame myself for the horribledeath that occurred.A rich trader from the interior called at

the consulate to transact some business inregard to the shipment of hides and tallow, and as he came bringing a letter ofintroduction from an old friend of mine, Iextended to him the hospitality of my residene.

He was a sociable, wel -informed man,had been engaged in the cattle trade,both in California and Australia, and couldrelate thrilling incidents by the hour, andso interested me by his conversation thatI forgot an important business transaction,and found myself compelled to make myexeuses after tea, for the purpose of at'tending to It, leavingThe trader on theverandah to enjoy his smoke. I was absentlonger than I had intended to be. andreturned to find thttf my guest had retiredfor the night.

I also found upon my table a bottle, accompaniedby a note: but supposing it touo d ino piosriH in wiuo ur uuicr urum,which I wag the dai!y recipient of, I leftit to be examined and perhaps tested bymy jjupst and myself at the breakfysttahlenext morning, and retired.The weather being yery warm, it was

my custom to leave the inner doors of myresidence all open for a free circulation ofair; but this night I retired, feeling anunusual oppression from the heat, andthere seamed to be some strange influenceacting upon me, some foreboding of fearthat held me in wakefulness until far into

I."' '

upon the matter by telling me that thetracer had given him the bott.e and note,particularly insisted upon his giving it to?me and calling my attention to it on myreturn. The note was brought, I read it*and all was explained, alas! too late.The trader was sub ect to fearful fits,

and the bottle contained the only mtdical*preparation that would restore him ; andhis note explained all this, and requestedmo, in the event «f his being taken, to

give him a wine gla sfn>, and bathe hisfuoe and hands till he recovered.Poor felovr! genial, but unfortunate

A Thcban Mnmn»y Pit'

Our guide, young and in exper'encetf, wasalljabber and dirt; he poiuted to a crevicein the side of the mounta n which we hada} preached. He thought that we shouldfind our way ip there. On entering,, wefound ourselves in a square chamber, thedim, recedes of which were rcarcvly lit upby our torches. I tripped over a stone,and fell into a hole ; but the bottom was

soft, and I got up unhurt, though mytorch was extinguished. Fortunately, thatof my guide was not.When we had light enough to look

about us, judge of our horror when theflame threw its flickering and uncer a n

glare over rows upon rows of shrivelled,distorted corpses and bla kening mummies,drawn up and contracted into every sortof fearful position numbers were unrolled,andthe ground strewed and covered withtheir loathsome remains, which crashedand crackled as our feet waded, ankledeep, among the broken, decayed limbsand bones, detached from their parchment-like b dies. At one time, upon touchingthe leg, the rest of the body and headmoved and bowed slowly forward, seemingt > glare w th its socketless eyet.

Habit.Few have sufficient respect for habit;

the ease with which it may be formed, thodifficulty with which it can be broken, themagical power with which it smooths therough path of duty, and enables us to lookwith indifference upon the allur»-Mifcnts ofthe world. It is a kind of shield, whichthe fingers of a boy may at first weave ofthreads light as gossamer, and which yetgrows into the sttength of steel. By itsaid the greatest things are accomplished.The culti. ation of proper habits shouldle impressed on the young.

One goo 1 mother, said Oeorge Herbert*is worth a hundred schoolmasters. In thehome she is "loadstone to all hear s, andloadstar to all e es." Imitation of her iscon tant.imitation, which Bacon likensto "a gl"ba of precepts." But exam lefar more than precept. It is instruct on inaction.
