(Chapter Three Continued.)
Before we finally quittel Havana,
I had one letter from him which 1
transcribe :'
My dear Charlie It was not till I
had given you my last hug and kiss
that I iully realized our parting was
indeed for ever, and our long and
happy association were really at an
ei But fwon't be dismal . You
know our plan wartgo direct to the
City of Mexico, and there try-to raise
a party - of eight or ten, huy horses,
and pack mules, and hack it across
the country. After our arrival at So
nora. we were to buy a piece of ground
and go to sheep-raising, Davenport to
f-
rdur passage to ! Vera Cruz was
pleasant ; we made a number of agree
able j acquaintances on the boat,
every one appeared to appreciate
onr
peculiar position. On the passage,
we enquired tne means 01 transit to
Mexico from Vera Cruz, but no Jone
seenled to know anything about it.
A railroad was being built, but how
far you could ride upon it, and what
other, conveyances .wtre being used,
we could not learn. We anchored at
r Veri Cruz about 5 a. m., and the first
information we received was, that the
yellow fever was Taging. This nes
did not relax our desire to get on to
the city as soon as possible. Most
fortunately we found out that an extra
train would leave
about noon, with
the mail, and it did not cost us much
deliberation to decide on gcing by it.
The rail road only extends sixty
miles, from .Vera Cruz to a small place
called Passo del Macho, only built up
since the road has terminated here.
From hence the Diligence starts, being
three days journey to the city. We
anived here Tuesday evening, but
could not get seats in i the stage till
Thursday, a fact which made us con
gratulate ourselves on having left Vera
Cruz without delay. j
Since'the rule of the French the
roads have become quite safe ; still,
now and then, a band of robbers will
learn of a large amount of money to go
by a certain stage :and will' attempt
to rob. I If caught now, their fate is
so certain, that it requires great need
to drive them to it. A miserable devil
at Passo del Macho, bearing that a
small wagon, in which there was two
thousand dollars, would take the road
on Monday, went out about noon to
lie in wait, and attempted to stop the
wagon, but the driver dashed on to
the next station, where he gave 'in
formation of what had happened, and
at six that evening the Hfellow had
been captured, tried, and shot, and
afterwards hung up as a warning.
(Though we had no fear of en at
tack, still we took the precaution to
be ready for one. There were seven
in our party, each with a revolver,
and two other gentlemen both En
glish-j with arms. Altogether we had
'fifty-four shots. We were told by
our h6st at the Passo that the robbers
never attack the stage when Ameri
cans are in it, but this will hardly hold
good, as Dr. - told us he was in
a stage which was attacked, and that
two of the vagabonds were killed be

. We started about 10 a. m., to as
cend the Chicquewecties tuou itiin',
and at 6 p. m. we stopped at C izaba,
the end of 'the first stage. I "thing
of any interest occurred, exce; t some
of the roughest riding t 'ever l xperi
enced, aud that's saying a goc 1 deal.
It beats all to pieces an' old C eorgia
country wagon passing, over tl. 3 pine
stumps and roots, j '-;
'The rise' here, at Orizaba, is about
5ve thousand six hundred feet above
the sea. ; The peak of the sim . name
is about fifteen thousand, and is cov
ered perpetua!ly with snow. At 4
a. m." we started for Puebla, thqend
of the second stage, where we anived
at i p. m. Eighteen hours in a stage
coach, traveling a dusty rough road,
is not the same thing as a ride on the
Pasib at Havana or an evening drive
in the Bois de Boulogne.
'Starting from Orizaba you pass an
other mountain, called the Combres,
the tops of which are ! constantly en
veloped in clouds. The cold made
me shiver, though I had been walk
ing some three miles, as the ascent is
so steep that passengers are obliged to
walk to the top.
'W e left Puebla at 4 a. m., and ar
rived at the city ofj Mexico about 6
p. m. A worse looking party you
can't well imagine. If the road from
the Orizaba to Puebla was dusty, that
from Puebla to the city! was dusty,
dustier, dustiest; T le vallej of Pue
bla is indeed a lovely spoti
'Along the main street J of Mexico
we found shops in jvhich we heard
nothing but French, 'English, and
German. The streets are crowded
with French and (jrerman soldiers,
giving the city much the; appearance
of a European town.j "We got up in
the morning about seven, and west to
the Alamanda to hear the French
band, which playea from eight till
ten. These are the fashionable hours,
as morning is the pieasantest part of
the day. Everybody walks then, but
at 4 p. m carriages are used.
'One thing I will say for Mexico,
world, without exception.! not oniyin"
the face, biit in figure andi walk.,
The French have brought with
them all kinds of amusements two
theatres, one circusj The latter I
havt been once to see, andl it was tol
erably good. A little Jarkie, aout
ten years old, was the chief attraction
in riding. The little rascal had every
particle of wool shaved off his head.

'We have just heard Ihere of the
capture; of Jefferson Davis. So the
Yankees have put him in irons ! It
took me some time to believe it, even
of them. When I read it, I pitied
Mem, and not the great man whom
they have made their prisoner. Thank
Heaven ! they call me an outlaw and
a rebel I I should be disgraced only
if they called me by the! same name
as themselves, v .
'Our sorrows, Charlie, fade away
before the'sufferiugs. and misfortunes
of such a man as Davis. And you,
who mourn a mother and a sister, and
I, to whom your sister was dearer
i
than life, must still confess that his
sorrows are greater than burs. I will
not speak of our ruin fortune, pros
pects, position, life,
we have
all
cheerfully given ;
the bitterness
is
that we have giveu them
in vain. I
have no country now, and though I
shall struggle on to carve ;for myself a
new place and a living in this world,
a stranee feeling tells me I shall: not
need it long.
'In company with five others, all
Americans, 1 depart for Sonora on the
15th. We hear terrible stories oi the
dangers of' the rout,1 but: we - do not
heed them : we are resolute and de
termined to go.

Too shocked and overcome to speak
I motioned him to a chair, and waited
for his story. j j ' .
'You know, said Tom in a low
voice, 'at Mexico we were warned
against going over-land to Sonora, for
we had to traverse about nine hun
dred miles of country inhabited by. a
hostile population, and some I of the
worst savages that ever infested the
earth. It seems there are sOme In
dians of the Appochee tribe led by a
remnant of John Murrel's notorious
band of robbers, which you remember
infested the Mississippi foryears after
you and I . were born, who make it
their business to rob and murder every
stray traveller they "can lay hold of.
These fellows are as good fighting
men as can be found ; bold, darinc,
revengeful, they never give quarter,
nor ask for it
Only a short time ago j
they offered to fight the United States
troops, man to man, if they wouldn't

'Well, we heard all this,! but it
didn't deter us from our project, and
we started, thu teen of us, counting

far from this frightening us, we grew
more secure. jNot having seen an

thing for fourteen days, it never
struck us the rascals would be upon
us on the fifteenth. But they were,

and it's a mercy there's one of us
alive to tell the tale.
Poor Dick and I, and two, or three
others were on a-head,as usual, and
having given the muleteers an extra
allowance of pulque, we were just
saying we should only have; to wait
two hours for them at the halting-
place, instead of four,' when whew 1 a
ball whistled by my ears, frightening
my sombrero off my head. And be
fore I had time to look round, a snake
of an Indian came galloping lout of a
chapparal, followed I believe:, by all
his rascally tribe. f
' W e were in a fight and tne hard
est fight, too, Charlie, that I ever saw
before I had made up my mind
whether it ! was better to "run, or to
shoot. Poor Dick was like a lion.
He shot two Of the, greasy savages,
and eot hold of a third, and pulled
him off his horse ; but at that moment
slim, sleeky villain flung; a lasso
around him, and jerked him to the
ground. i ' - f 1 i

leteers, having heard the shots, came
galloping to our aid, and the Indians
seeing them at the edge of the plain,
and taking them for a much ; larger
party than they were, made 66 with
all speed. All but the villain who
had killed poor Pick, and him I
hitched by his own lasso. And that
.evening we hanged him with it, too,
in a chapparal, and left him there for
a warning. J ' I ' ' j .
This fad affair decided us pa re

AGRICU L TUBAL.
I . TOO MUCH LAND.
We know a farmer who, ten years
ago, owned 150 acres, and was doing
well ; he now owna five hundred, and
is worse off than before. And why f
Because this large farm is a great bill
of expense to him ; he can not afford
to keep it up in good condition, and it
hangs a millstone of care about hi
neck. His wife and children, both
sons and daughters, are obliged to
worK nard to keep the great machine
a running; i We presume his boys de
clare they will leave home aa soon' at
they aTe id enough ; and the' jirlr
say they will die before they will
marry farmera. Neither som ; bot
daughters are educated as they deierve
to i. hey can not be spared for this

the remainder to make it more produc

age, and try to make his home a com-'

LIME AROUND APPLE TREES.
We have known some farmers fV
make it a regular practice for a succes
sion of years to throw caustic Hub
around their apple trees in the spring
and summer. We once noticed that
a tree standing in the immediate vi
cinity of our dwelling had all at once
put forth with renewed energy, and
we were at a loss for some time to de
line the cause. On, examination, we
fo j ni that a quantify of lime, whkh
had accidentally been spilled and ren
dered worthless by becoming mixed
with the refuse7 on the stable floor,
had been thrown at the foot and around
the tree ; and to this as the principal;
f t. . I
of the trees.
Taking the hint from the accident,
we purchased twelve cask of lime,
and applied half a bushel to each of
the trees in our orchard and j found
that it produced immediate beneficial
effects. Not the health of trees only.
. . ,
but th ,it ,( the fruit WM

where there is a redundancy ot. vege
