best troops, and were standing defenceless our- J
selves at the door of their proud hive of Mex-
ijo, able to enter, (so we said, and so we proved.)
but inclining to mercy in granting them the
terms of honourable peace. What marvel they j
opened their eyes and mouths in gaping won
der? One half-hour sufficed to erect our little regi
mental city of canvas, and ad evening was ap
rroachins, I turned in to sleep eff the battles.
Since leaving Puebla, I had occupied a tent
with my Captain ; and " many a time and oft,"
after tattoo, have wo chatted away the hours
cf the night, stretched upon our blankets, thc
moon's rays rendering the sides of the tent
translucent, so that wc could see each other,
until thc drowsy monotone of voice would
launch us upon thc sea of dreams. On this
first night of our encampment, (but ono had
intervened siuce the battle,) 1 was too tired to
sleep, my nerves were unstrung, my brain was
whirling as if 1 were iutoxicated, and as I lay
sleepless aud tossing, it was not strange that
ray thoughts should cling with wonderful te
nacity to my former tent-mate. I turned them
away ; I endeavoured to fix them upon the gay,
the beautiful, the glorious of my past experi
ence or future hope ; I sent them to roam o'er
The pleasant fields, traversed so oft
In life's morning march, when my bosom was
young;
but in vain they returned with new attraction
to the dead. I thought of the contrast, and

a de6p sleep, and the incubus of cay waking

, and ringing with his laughter ; but it was un-
K' earthly, terrifying. There, like a gorgon, lay
his-body, in its accustomed place, and I. trans-

At one house I was ushered unceremonious'y

of my search at the lanre entrance portal ot a
fine house; and when the porlero opens, I de-
mand to see el amo the proprietor. At length
Don Manuel appears.
"Sir," said I, in the language, and as much
as possible in thc style of Gil Bias, "I am in
search of what you above all others can best
provide me, aud of what I more than all others
absolutely need. I am sick, and in want of a
room and bed." He looked blank.
" I am an officer de los permanentes, and if
you receive me, I can and will protect your
house; if not, the voluntarios will soon be here,
and they are terrible fellows for a billet they
themsclyes."
Pot Dios For God's sake hence the beg

that quarter of a mile was very short, aud the
