WITH THE GUEREILLEROS * \
"The sharp, cleir crack of & pistol shot.
And then an appalling b imp, and the
heavy vehicle we were traveling in reeled
like a ship struck by a great wave.
" In an instant, I saw the scared face of
the mayoral of the coach looming pallid
through the window. As a preliminary
measure, I smashed the glass with the butt
end of one of my revolvers, and asked the
mayoral what was the matter.
" The mala gente! the mala gente!?the
Ouerrillerot, the brigands!' he murmured.
44 Hound of a lepero!' I shouted, opening
the door, jamping out, and seizing him by
the throat. 'Hijo de Pcrro!?'tis thou who,
knowing I had onzae de oro with me, hast
given information to the mala gente. I
propose,' I added camly, 'to blow thy
brains out.'
" The poor devil fell upon his knees,
and vowed by Our Lady of Qua lalupe, and
all tin saints* in the Mexican hagiology,
that he had nothing to do with the ambuscade
into which, it appeared, we had fallen.
Nay, he pointed to the blunderbuss he carried,
and telling me that it was loaded
wilh slugs, and that he had plenty more
powder and shot in his pouch, he proposed
that we should go forward and fight the
mala aente to the death, bidding: me to
blow his brains out, &a I bad promised, at
the first sight of any prevarication or complicity
with the brigands on his part. I
could not but believe him ; and it turned
out that he was a very honest fellow, and
per'ectlv innocent of any criminal cognizance
of the Guerrilleros' designs.
" This is not always the case witli mayorala;
and at least two-thirds of the organized
attacks on diUjencias are 'put up' robber'es.
due to the mail coach guards or the
po-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 irreverontly
bat truly put it, 'till the bottomless pit w?s
full to the bung.' Fighting was, of course,
not to be liougbt cf in the case of two
prietts, who did nothing but yelp 'Muerte!
I muerte!' and invoke Our Lady of Guadalupe.
So we put the reverend padre* Into
I the interio? of the carriage, and set a
i "French commercial traveler to mount ~
! guard over them anl the baggage; an 1
then, forming ourselves into a compact
little phalanx, sqd with the muzzles of our
firearms radia iqg from a common centre,
in a quadrant, we marched forward to see
what was the matter.
"There was very much the matter if,
deed. Deducing the two priests, thero
should still h-ve been fourteen combatants
left; 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 lying
among 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?

high. With a Utile more elevati n, it
would have approached the proport n - of
a canon or gorge; but the outlet was
by a strong barricade of felled tree.-^^^H
on the summit we could see, clear
the morning sky, the forms of
twenty and thirty brigands. They l^^^H
a tremendous volley directly we
sight; but they, happily, succeeded
in killing a couple of the mules, iHH
which we dodged ; and I could tell,^^^H
the reverberation of the discharge^^^H
they were only provided with old tiinfl^M
muskets and com mm horge-pistolf^^BM
that, although nume:ically inferior t^H^H
mala gentc, we were much better
than they were. From that
confidence was restored.

after thil infernal game of firiug had
been going on for at least three-quarters
of an hour, by the arrival of a strong band
of the mounted t; nantry of my friend. Don
Jacobo de Th rraplena j Azul; who, having
been informed by an Indian scout,
shortly after our departure, that the Guerrilleros
were in the neighborhood, had
started off in hot pursuit.
" But the hat of the brigand chief ?" I
inquired.
"Ah! the hat?el sombrero golonado,"
Captain Bois Tore returned, somewhat
musingly. " There was something queer
about that. When we came to strip the
dead rascal, and remove the mask from his
face, we found that he was an Indian, and
that Indian was Caiaphas, ihe major-domo
of Don Jaeobo. He must have changed bb
clothes with wonderful celerity to follow
on our track so quickly ; but it was afterwards
discovered that he had been for
years, siib rosa, a captain of Guerrilieros.
Whom can we trust after this? If Don
Jacobo had not come up with his troops to
rescue us, I might have fancied that he
himself wasiutha plot.?George Augusta*
Sola.
A. TERRIBLE NIGHT*
When I was British Consul at Rio Janerio,
I passed a night of horror, which
morning revealed under the most painfully
distressing circumstances, and the mornful
results of which could have been aj
easily prevented had it not been for negligence
on my part, that I have never
ceased to blame myself for the horrible
death that occurred.
A rich trader from the interior called at
the consulate to transact some business in
regard to the shipment of hides and tal
low, and as he came bringing a letter of
introduction from an old friend of mine, I
extended to him the hospitality of my residen
e.
He was a sociable, wel -informed man,
had been engaged in the cattle trade,
both in California and Australia, and could
relate thrilling incidents by the hour, and
so interested me by his conversation that
I forgot an important business transaction,
and found myself compelled to make my
exeuses after tea, for the purpose of at'
tending to It, leaving The trader on the
verandah to enjoy his smoke. I was absent
longer than I had intended to be. and
returned to find thttf my guest had retired
for the night.
I also found upon my table a bottle, accompanied
by a note: but supposing it to
uo d ino piosriH in wiuo ur uuicr urum,
which I wag the dai!y recipient of, I left
it to be examined and perhaps tested by
my jjupst and myself at the breakfysttahle
next morning, and retired.
The weather being yery warm, it was
my custom to leave the inner doors of my
residence all open for a free circulation of
air; but this night I retired, feeling an
unusual oppression from the heat, and
there seamed to be some strange influence
acting upon me, some foreboding of fear
that held me in wakefulness until far into
I."' '

upon the matter by telling me that the
tracer had given him the bott.e and note,
particularly insisted upon his giving it to?
me and calling my attention to it on my
return. 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 ; and
his note explained all this, and requested
mo, in the event ?f his being taken, to
give him a wine gla sfn>, and bathe his
fuoe and hands till he recovered.
Poor felovr! genial, but unfortunate
guest of mine, we placed ^iis body in a

A Thcban Mnmn?y Pit'
Our guide, young and in exper'encetf, wasall
jabber and dirt; he poiuted to a crevice
in the side of the mounta n which we had
a} preached. He thought that we should
find our way ip there. On entering,, we
found ourselves in a square chamber, the
dim, recedes of which were rcarcvly lit up
by our torches. I tripped over a stone,
and fell into a hole ; but the bottom was
soft, and I got up unhurt, though my
torch was extinguished. Fortunately, that
of my guide was not.
When we had light enough to look
about us, judge of our horror when the
flame 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 sort
of fearful position numbers were unrolled,and
the ground strewed and covered with
their loathsome remains, which crashed
and crackled as our feet waded, ankle
deep, among the broken, decayed limbs
and bones, detached from their parchment
like b dies. At one time, upon touching
the leg, the rest of the body and head
moved and bowed slowly forward, seeming
t > glare w th its socketless eyet. One
of my friends, stumbling with force, displaced
a mummy, which probably had
lain on its slab for thousands of years,
and hnd become dry nnd brittle as tin !er;
the kea I snapped, nodded and relied at fcls
feet. Wp were, In fact, lit one of the
hund ed of mummy-pits that honeycomb
the mounta ns overlooking the plain of
the great city, who^e people from k.ng to
sl '.ve. sleep a ike, rolled, as in one vast
mausoleum of nature.?J. W. Cleuton.
Habit.
Few have sufficient respect for habit;
the ease with which it may be formed, tho
difficulty with which it can be broken, the
magical power with which it smooths the
rough path of duty, and enables us to look
with indifference upon the allur?-Mifcnts of
the world. It is a kind of shield, which
the fingers of a boy may at first weave of
threads light as gossamer, and which yet
grows into the sttength of steel. By its
aid the greatest things are accomplished.
The culti. ation of proper habits should
le impressed on the young.
One goo 1 mother, said Oeorge Herbert*
is worth a hundred schoolmasters. In the
home she is "loadstone to all hear s, and
loadstar to all e es." Imitation of her is
con tant?imitation, which Bacon likens
to "a gl"ba of precepts." But exam le
far more than precept. It is instruct on in
action.
