EDITOR—Were' you ever crowded into a atago-coach, along with fourteen pas sengers, and fifteentand-boxes? I dare say you have been. ; But no matter. Such a situation is not the most comfortable in the world; but it •is certkinly ohe of the most ti are obliged to convers vlietheryou will or ix); and in -proportiori as your limbs are shortened and your body contracted, your tongue is apt to be tength - ened and:your jaws distended. . - - I was laAt summer on a journey into the country, and the stage-coach - was. filled nearly to bursting. There was as great a diversity of character as,could well be min- 1 gled.together in the simo space. But a mong those who particularly attracted my attention, was a young married gentleman, a merchant of this city, accompanied by a l n infant child in the lap of a Scotch nurse; an inquisitive, country-looking man; a city belle, utterly made tip of nerves and notions; _and a lawyer, going to court, with his green satchel. full of writs and his head full a wrangles. The Scotch. woman peered at the lawyer, as nae gude; the ,countryman was curious to know .tho names, residence and condition of each ofeliiiTeiTail passengers; the. mer chant was disposed to draw in his head and . escape, if. possible, the inquisition of the countryman; the city belle ryasabundantly employed in regulating her nerves and rail ing. at the horrid country; while the lawyer was looking out for a case, or casting about for a precedent. But the countryman had particularly fas tened his eye on the merchant, who, from certain circumstances, he suspected had dome over the water. "I take it" 'said ho "you're. a furriner." "Eli—ltch!" muttered the young gentle- man. "I take it, t say," repeated the inquisitive, "that you're a furriner." "Eh--lich!" again muttered the other. ' "I presume," said the countryman . , "to be so bold' as to ask ifyou're not a furriner." "You presume!" at last exclaimed the young gentleman; "w at business have you . to presume any thi g, about it?" "There!" said t e inquisitive, "I'm. sure you're a furriner, thelse you would'nt ax . that question. Presu ,do you say ! Why, Mister,: this is a free country, and . every num_has_it,zight to presume_ fist whaj.,_ he ' pleases. /There's no bar to presumptions 'here. What. say, you, Mr. Lawyer, an't I right?" "Hew do you - know I'm a lawyer?" asked . the man Of cases and precedents. • "How (161 know !" said the countryman; "why the hawkqa known by the barn-door fowls as far . as, they can see him. Even this littlechicen,"lntingjo the infant, "thatAa_scarcely out _01.,, de_ shell, knows, you're a lawyer and, tries to,liide under its mother's wing." : N (ag\ -- 7 — lliil )f " at: lial" - lau glied - th'elye lawyer; out , orthe,w side of his mouth; "yodroicecii, iny Odd friend."' "I know a thing or two; if Leonid only think ' of it," returned the countryman.-- "Now Mister," continued lie turning to the inerehant,'"are you a natyve of England, or Ireland, 'or Ova-Scotia, br what part of ie o coup ries . ---- a native of this'countvy," •said the other sullenly; "since you must know; and never was in England or Ireland or any of the old countries." "DO you pretend to say that on your affi-. &Ivy'!" said the countryman with a dubious air. • "Here's your wife now," glancing at the nurse, "is aa -Irish %venison," T ' "My wife!" ejaculated - the young gentle. mute„ fiercely.

"Tiiis woman is net my wife," 'resumed the yonng.man. ."And.Vin.no•an Irish woman,-I would'nt lino . _ , ye• think," said the. nurse; "but I was born and-brought up in auld Seotland. = , There's - li° a Irish blood in inc." fur the matter of that," said thecoun tryman, carelessly, "it's all the same in Dutch, whether you call yourself Irish or. Eleotel—Scotch or Irish. "But," turning 10,the merchant, "if this woman is not your t ivifeAgieter, whose with. is she, if I may talcs the liberty to ax ?" • 'lAnd, ill should take the liberty to threw • j0,,,.aut.0 . f the carriage," said' the. young with A.significant milieu, "what would • • • • Atit , • . v ok, 4: ipa y; "support . ypu ryi dr. ll don'tycs tight .. neo," erikretkied the oo 4 104 frfulgen b4irn, CAI PE SONG.

"Ohl don't come to blows, I implore you, gentlenien," said the nervous lady, "I. de clare I shall gO into a faint if you do. I wish, Mr. Capias, you'd take the law on 'cm. Do, that's a good man." "There's no chance yet," replied . the lawyer, who began to rub his hands at the thought of a fee; "tliero's,no. overt act yet." '"Oh ! this horrid country travelling !" claimed the belle. "It's enough to tear one's nerves all to pieces. I wish to gracious I'd 'ever left the city." "Well now," resumed tl►e countryman, who seemed deterinined to sift the mystery of the young gentleman, the Scotch woman and the child. "Woll now, Mister, if thig woman isn't your Wife, how;ton►es the child to be •yourn, if I may lie so bold?" , "Because I'm it's f►tther, if you ►uust know," replied the other in short terms. "It's a wise father that knows his own child, as the saying is," rejoined the coun tryman.. "But how kyou happen to be its father, without its mother being your wile, if I may be so bold?" "Its motile r is my wife," replied the young man, who found there was no use in trying to escape the persecutions of the inquisitive. "AV hat a double•aiid-twisted liar you are!" exclaimed the countryman, opening his eyes whler. than ever. "A liar!" fieicely ejaculated the mcrchaht "Softly, softly, Mister," said the country man. "Didn't you jist now tell me she wasn't your wife?" "Bravo ! bravo !" said the lawyer, here's a close examination. "I know what's what," said the country man, with a knowing wink; "I wasn't se lected by the unanimous vote of an,. over whohning minority, poor-overseer, last town meeting; for nothing. Now, l'llisterrcon, tinued he, triumphantly turning to the mer chant, "Pve got you into a bit of a snarl.

Then ttirnirig again to the merchant, he resumed, "a little while ago you said this Irish—Scotch-woman, I mean—was . not, your wife ; and now, you say she is your' wife. Here's a pretty Snarl of testimony?" The young gentleman, in spite of the vexations of his tormentor, could not now forbear laughing, and finally condescended to inform him that the Scotch woman was not the child's mother, but merely itstiurse. "Oho!" exclaimed the inquisitive, as the light burst in upon him—"lts nurse; is she? Well, I should'nt have thought of that. As to my wife, andAill—my neighbor's wives, they suckle their own brats, and no thanks to any body. And that's the very. thijg that deceived me.

The 'child screamed with affright, the nervous lady used her best endeavors to faint, the lawyer set to calculating the fees, while the merchant and the rest of the com pany nearly burst their sides with laughter. The inquisitive gentleman, however, should be expected. He muttered something be tween his teeth about a woman being law less, or thelse he'd make the jade smart for it, and settling himself back is the carriage, Jio.tientinged sullen and civil for the rest of the journey.
