cation has fairly begun, and the Ameri-
cans are likely TO gain The preference,
Two great railroad enterprises, either Of
which, if fully carried out, is certain 10
revolutionize the commerce of Mexico.
are now knocking at the doors of The
Mexican Congress for permission TO con-
fer upon that country the greatest OF all
blessings, the International Railway OF
Texas, which proposes to construct a
line from the City of Mexico TO the Rio
Graude, and the scheme of General Ros.
ecrans for system of railroads TO con-
meet most OF the important cities OF the
republic with the capital. 1t is probable
that both undertakings will be success
iul in great part, aud that FIVE years
hence it will be possible not only to leave
New York IN palace car aud arrive
within a week in the City of Mexico, but
also 10 visit 10 the same manner the eight
or ten principal cities of this republic.
Within the same period of time The Tex
as Pacific Railroad will undoubtedly be
completed, skirting one half Of the north
ern frontier Of Mexico and intersectine
at PasO del Norte with the narrow
guage Denver and III Paso road, which
vii! probably extend far beyond Chihua-
hna towards the interior of Mexico
The port of Guyamas will then be con
nected with tho capital of ARIZONA by
means OF railroad running due north
and intersecting the Texas Pacific at all,
other point.

SELECT POETRY.
A MYSTERY.
BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.

BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.
The river hemmed with leaning trees.
Wound through its meadows green;
A low, blue line of mountains showed
The open pines between.
Onesharp. tall peak above them all
Clear into sunlight sprang;
saw the river of my dreams,
The mountains that sang!
No clue Of memory led m. on. 2l-
But well the ways / knew; ~
A feeling of familiar things
With every iootstep grew.
Not otherwise above its crag
Could lean the blasted pine;
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aloft its red ensign.
So up the long and shorr foothills
The mountain road should creep;
80, green and low, the meadow fold
Its red-haired kline asleep.
The river wound as IL should wind:
Their place the mountains took;
The white, torn fringes of their clouds
Wore no unwonted look.
Yet ne'er before that rivers rim
as pTcSScu Ny lOOl vi mime
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence, strange at once and known,
Walked with me as my guide
The skirts of some forgotten life
Trailed noiselcss at my side.
Was il dim remembered dream?
o. glimpse through 9ons old?
The secret which the mountains kept,
The river never told.
But from the vision, ere it passed,
A tender hope drew,
And, pleasant as dawn of Spring,
The thought within me crew.
That love would temper every change,
And soften all surprise,
And, misty with the dreams of earth,
The hills of heaven arise.

CARE OF THE FEEr.--Concerning this
very important subject, the Scientific
American truly says : Many are caro-
less in the keeping Oftheir feet. lfthey
wash them once week they think they
are doing well. They do not ponsidsr'
that the largest pores OF the system are
located in the bottom of the feet, and
that the most offeLsiye matter is dis
charged from these pores. They wear
stockings from the beginning 20 the end
of the week without change, which be-
come completely saturated with offensive
matter. III health is generated by such
treatmen of the feet. The pores {, .re
not repcllants, but absorbant, anf this
fctid matter, to greater or les,s extent

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT WATER-The
extent to which water mingles with bod
les apparently the most solid is. very
wonderful. The glittering opal which
beauty wears as All ornament is only
flint and water. Ofevery twelve hun
dred tons of earth which landlord has
in his estate four hundred are water
The snOw-capped SUBMITS of highest
mountains have many million tons of wa
ter in solitied torn. In every plaster
of Paris statue which an Italian carries
through our street tor sale, there is one
pound of water to four pounds of chalk.
The air we breathe coILains FIVE grains
of water 20 each cubic foot of its bulk.
The potatoes and turnips which are boil
ed for our dinner have, in their raw
state, se,e 1t five per cent. of
water. Ii man weighing l40 pounds
were squeezed in a hydraulic press,
seventy pounds of water would run out,
the balance being solid matter. A man
is chemically speaking, torty-five pounds
of carbon and other elements, with nitro
gen difIu'ed lhruogh five and half pals
tul OF water. In plants we find water
thus mingling no less wonderful. A
suufiower evaporates one aud quarter
pints of water day, and cabbage about
the same quantity. A wheat plant ex-
hales in one hundred and seventy-fve
days about one hundred thousand grains
| of water. S
