single person. who should attempt to cross
alone. Our passage from Maza,lan to
San Bias was one hundred dollars for
the four; an enormous price, considering
that the passage is generally made in
twenty four hours. Our mule hire from
San Bias to Topic was twelve dollars
each. We engaged the Arriero to fur
mules for our baggage, from II. to Gaud-
alaiara for eighteen dollars each, he act
inc as guide, and we paying the expenses
of keeping the animals on the road. Our
road expenses averaged little less than
two dollars per day each, it costing us
more for the keeping of our beasts than
ourselves. The traveller in Mexico I'M

leans from principle charging just three
times the current value of every thing.
We were kindly furnished in Topic with
a list Of the prices Of those things which
we should be likely to want, which we
found Of great service to us.
On May 18th we left Topic for Quad
aaara, bidding adieu with unfeigned re-
gret to the pleasant family where we had
been 50 agreeaby domesticatcd, who
promised to pray to the Virgin for our safe
ty from the Ladrones of the road. We
rode from daylight till about one o'clock,
and stopped at a little village for the
night. The Meson was the most filthy
and dlsagrceable place ever saw the
Inn at Topic was an " Astor compared
to it. 1t seemed to be used as a nursery
for fighting cocks, of which there were
some forty or fifty tied in different parts
of the building, in training for some grand
fair or other, and we were almost stunned
by the growing which was continually kept
up by them We were ushered into a
cell similar to the one in Topic, contain
ing a pine table, a pine bedstead, (con-
sisting of three boards laid on horses) and
an earthen Jug of water. The floor was
brick, and with no windows, the apart
hiSit was 90 Soou al vi COH-
vict's cell as one could desire. Our bag
gage was taken from the mules, and
piled up in one corner of the room two
of us took possession of the bedstead, the
other two spreading their blankets on the
brick floor, and with our saddles for pill
lows and our pistols under our heads, we
consigned ourselves to the earns of
Morpheus" (the Arriero stretching HIM
self across the entrancc) and enjoyed as
sound a sleep as ever was afforded by a
downy couch and this was the manner
in which we passed the night throughout
our journey-the best bed we found be-
ing pile of bricks raised from the floor
and laid in sement and it was some time
after arrived at home before could
sleep with comfort on even a mattress.
We were reused at day break by our
conductor who reminded us to look to our
arms as we were this day to ride through
a dangerous pass, noted for being infested
with robbers. In this pass which is called
the " Trap" two Frenchman were at

On the third day we assembled by a
winding and steep path high and barren
mountain and when we had reached the
summit we found ourselves surrounded
by a circle of peaks as high and as barren
as the one we were upon but one green
spot was to be seen, and that which
cheered us like an oasis in desert, lay
far below and surrounded by the lofty
mountains. 1t was charming little spot
apparently covered with verdurc, with
here and there a cottage pccpinS through
the trees, and afforded striking contrast
to the scenery around. We commenced
the steep descent with renewed spirit, and
| found it one of the most arduous jaunts
| ever undertook. The dcclivity was so
steep that we were obliged to dismount
and proceed on foot and being cucumber
ed with our arms, and exposed to the
noontde blaze of tropical and almos,
vertical sun, we were almost broilcd. AT
last we reached the foot of the mountain
and threw ourselves on the ground beside
IA small stream and drank draught of the
water which tasted like nectar to our
parched threats. After cooling our burnt
faces in the stream we proceeded on until
we reached the little hamlet, where we
stopped at a miserable looking house,
though in romantic situation stream
bubbling along on each side with immense
trees overhanSing, under which we threw
ourselves almost dead with fatigue, and
enjoyed a refreshing sleep while the good
lady prepared our dinners. Here we
passed the night, and at daylight the next
morning were again in the saddle, being
assured by our good hostess that we need
fear no Ladrones on this days Journey.
We rode gaIy on, ascending another
mountain whose sides were almost per-
pendicular, but by winding path cut in
the side, we were enabled to reach the
summit and descended on to wide spread
plain, the table land. l should be 10th to
form my opinion of the country through
which we were pass: G by its then unn-
viting and barren aspect but it was Just
at the close of the dry season, when
scarcely leaf is to be seen, and the APP
pearance Of the country is most untavor-
able. We reached the village Of Magda-
lena at noon, where we intended to pass
the night, but while at dinner a gentle
man arrived whom we had seen at Topic,
and who persuaded us to join him and
ride some twelve or fifteen leagues far
Their, by which we should reach Guadala
ara one day sooner. Our Arriero was
very 10th to start again, but we insisted
and on we went, on table land of great
elevation, and surrounded by high noun
tains. The weather began to look threat
ening and NC had just remarked that a
thunderstorm among the mountains which
surrounded us must be a grand spectacle,
when we suddenly had grand opportu-
nifty to witness one in all its grandeur, a
tremendous storm coming upon us with
out any warning, which lasted all the af-
ternoon and drelchcd not only our per-
sons, but what was of more consequence

Secluded IN a little dell,

While a small strip OF shaded grass
Show'd where a swng had Detn--
All, many merry hearted boy
Had frollick d there | wcen.
My heart grew sad The walls were bare,
No breathing thing was near;
And fancy slckened al the thought
That death had rcyelrd here,
On the green sod wc plying droppd
sympathetic tear,
To mourn the happy group that once
Had congregated here,
There was wild rose ,ran'd with care,
mark of lromdn'S taste,
A drawing rudely scratched with chalk,
Some childish hand had Traced
And every where the neat white walls
With pictures rude delaccd
Oh what had made Ibis humble home,
So pleasant once waste!
Now was the ruin, yet found
A mark of man decay;
A broken crutch, upon the floor,
In one dark corner lay,
Which once mcthought might have sustained
A dame or grandsre gray;
called aloud the ochoiu. hills
Repeated "whore are they "a
We left with hearts oppressed and ,ad
The desoae abode,
And saw sturdy rustic lad
Come whisling down the road
We asked what caus'd that ruined scene
And begged him TO direct us
