The EYES. There is popular notion,
sanctioned even by medical men, that the eyes
are preserved by opening them every morning
in basin of cold water. Some of the worst
cases of petergium or film on the surface OF
the eye, have been witnessed on those who
have boosted of this practice. When water
gets into the windpipe, the nostris, or the ear,
irritation is produced and when the eyes
open under water the sensation is anything
but agreeable. The eye is fabricated by a Sc
erection admirably adapted TO facilitate the
motions of the lid over its surface, and as this
secretion is partially soluble in Water, it is
as inconsistent TO wash it away as it is TO re-
move the oil from the wheels of machinery.

through them. Wipe and hang them up in

like to have them spoiled. Take a box that

A NIGHT WITH THE GUERILLiS
SCENE IN n!EXECc.

During the year 1851, myself and friend
were being guided through the dense masses
of IA cactus wood, among the mountain-pasSes
to which Alvarez has recently attracted so
much attention, and which surrounded the
city of Acapulco, on the Pacific coast of Mex
leo. We were well mounted and equipped
but were compelled to proceed slowly in our
route, for the reason that our native guide
was on foot, so that by the tune night had
enshroudcd us in the deep gloom so peculiar
to tropic forest VIC were anXiously on the
look for a ranch-lght, or listening for the
barking of dozen ours which invariably
surrounded Mexican hut. We had proceed
ed perhaps Il mile in the deepest darkness
when to our surprise We came to Il large cor
rail-, and Immediately after to the rancho to
which it was attached.
Wchad no time to reconnoitrc: for we were
Immediately surrounded by score of the
most stalwart, Notwithstanding men it had
yet been our fortune, or ill fortune to meet in
that country. Their attentions were far more
eager than delicate, for we were half urged,
half pulled from our horses, our valises, pis.
tolls and bowics taken from us, and ourselves
pushed along into the hut in less time, than
it would have taken Yankee landlord to
have passed the compliments of the season.
The glance | caught as entered the hut, at
about twenty horses in the corral. sadIled
and bridled with a sort of cavalry look. and
evidently at home after long day s ride. Ill
no way served to decrease the apprehensions;
but my fears were put upon sure basis,
when, after entering the hut, I passed close
to the guide who looked Significantly at me
and whispered the one word dreaded of all
loyal Mexicans:
".Guerillas !"
As soon as we were seated IN corner of
the large room, venturcd to inquire of my
friends, in a whisper, what he thought of our
situation; to which he answered, with his
accustomed clcarness, and as thought with
considerable show of probability, that we
were 'in ID of scrape" We how
ever concluded to crust to luck" and to &C.
quicsce for the time in anything that might
be done; a sage conclusion for two Yankees
amid twenty or more athletic robbers.
The Gucrillas had evidently had long ride
and judged had met with success, as they
were good-natured and laughed and talked
with each other necessarily, while the PRO
yisioner' was preparing supper
don't boast u great deal of GOODNESS in the
hour of danger; but must confess that the
boiled chickens and fried eggs made such a
sweet scent in my nostrils, that the peculiar
ity Of our position was temporarily forgotten
