Text Appearing Before Image:
ouched, the real city entered. The guardsman searches sharp, be-cause no fee is offered. The mules spurt and make their finish;the drowsy clerk of the hotel is not too drowsy to forget how tocheat. A score of dollars is my due. He tries to pay me off withworn-out quarters smoothed to twenty cents and less. I protest.He proffers smooth dollars. I still protest. He declines anybetter currency. Nervous with long vigils, and anxious to get toBrownsville for breakfast and a couch, I entreat better treatment.He is incorrigible. I surrender, and snatch with a benison thatburns, not blesses, I hope, my degenerate dollars, and strike forthe river. The stream is crossed by ferry in the glowing morning ;Mexico is clone. Matamoras and Brownsville represent in name as in nature thetwo civilizations. The nomenclature of Mexico is soft, flowing,enervating ; that of America, short, sharp, energetic. Matamorasin pronunciation is like lotus-eating; Brownsville like the crack 5? BVownsville— Matamoras

Idle and in-curious, letting things go as they come, is the one ; obtrusive andever-moulding is the other. The cities are like their nations. Theold-style house, barred windows, barred gate-way, narrow street,dead wall, plastered and tinted, is Matamoras ; open windows, nar-row door-ways, no coach-doors, no city walls nor gates, woodenhouses, painted sometimes, wide streets : Yankee of Yankees isBrownsville. The two, when blended and built up in Christ, willbe a beauty and strength, husband and wife, one entire and per-fect chrysolite. 4i8 OUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR. XIV.
