LETTER FROM MEXICO.
Citu of MeGico, Mch. 80. '95

City Of Mesico, Mch. 50, '95.
The Hotel Hurbide. the principal
one in the city, is fine old building
with five great courts. 1t was the
palace of the Emperor Iturbide who
was so chosen in 1922, soon after
the acknowledgment by Spain of
Mexican independence. But in 1928
Santa Anna declared for the repub-
lie and in 1924 Iturbide was shot.
Like that under Maximillian, this
first and only other Mexican empire
went out in blood. The room in the
third story used by Iturbide as pr-
yate chapel is never opened to
guests. His bust in marble stands
under one of the lower balconies in
the first court. The restaurant, the
Delmonico of the city, is kept by M.
Charles Recamier. a Frenchman-
and who knows but relative of the
famous Madame Recamier-who came
over as cook to Maximillian; which
makes this hotel royal, not only in
apartment and in name but in cai-
sine also. 1t is just about a fair
second-class hotel in New York OF
Boston.
There are over 1900 streets in the
City of Mexico, the length of each be-
ing just square so that what would
be one street in an American city is
as many different streets here as there
may be streets across it. There is
no city directory whatever and very
little of any language except the
Spanish spoken; but guides and in
terpreters are plenty. A well ap-
pointed police force makes it safe
upon the streets at any time of day
or night; but when the traveller,
whose tongue is tied in every Ian
guage but the English, ventures out
alone, like the ancient navigator, his
only guide is the sun or the stars
and the compass ne may carry in his
head The favoIite time for the COM
ing out of the wealthy class is in the
cool of the day towards nightfall and
long past ''twilight's holy hour"
and well on into .'the very witching
time of night do they linger upon
the plazas or drive leisurely upon the
passeo de la reformad. This is the
principal boulevard of the city and
connects it with the castle and grove
of chapultapec. 1t was laid out by
Maximilllian and contains colossal
statues of Columbus, of Gautemo-
tzin the last Aztec emperor, and of
Jaurez whose memory is dearest of
all to the Mexican people. Maxi
MILAN, the ruler who opened it has
no place within it, nor will he be like
ly ever to have. This beautiful drive
passes through the grove of chapul-
tapec two miles from the city, and at
the base of the porphyry hill on
which stands the castle. Here are
double and triple cypress trees thirty
and forty feet in circumference and
$50 feet high, and hundreds of
years old. When there was
more water in the valley than now
here was a marsh and these trees got
a start, and the soil being still moist
they are remarkably thrifty. Though
the sun be in his MONDAY splendor,
as you enter this grove you feel

Till the weary hands shall be folded,
And the aching heart be at rest;
Till the light, the joy the fragrance,
And beauty of life shall have He'd -

The kinds words we give to the dead ?
If should be called hence this evening
| doubt not some tears would be shed
Der my cold and passionless bosom;
And few kindly words would be said
And some one with tremulous fingers,
Perchance, my pale forehead would
press,
Or smooth out my long raven tresses
With tendefly lingering caress.
And the endless list of errors.

That beat with the warmest emotion
In the beautiful days of old;
But harshness and coldness have driven
Warmth and light from the heart and

Life's landscape for them lies in shadow
It's sun disappeared from their sky.
And 0, there doubtless in prison
Are many whom one kindly word
Would have saved, in the hour of temp

But that friendly voice was not heard
And NOW mid the gloom and the dark
Their pathway must lie through life's
day;
(kind words yield wonderful harvest
Let's scatter them then on our way.)
And oftimes the tear Of compassion
Is dropp'd on the cold senseess clay,
OF the wand'ring, derided outcast,
Who's been called in his sins away.
When if one warning word had been

In the day when the tempter sore
pressd,
That life might have been one of beauty
That death been an entrance to rest
Then let US not stand idly waiting,
In the midst of the vanishing years,
Till warm hearts become cold and callous,
And weeping eyes too dry for tears;
Or the grave, with its mantle of darkness,
To its bosom the tired heart receives;
Lest the harvest time shall be ended,
And onr arms found barren of sheaves.
