Stage-Coach Recollections.
mu. 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

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

"Ohl don't come to blows, I implore you,

wish, Mr. Capias, you'd take the law on 'cm.

"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

"Because I'm it's f►tther, if you ►uust

"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

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

they suckle their own brats, and no thanks

The 'child screamed with affright, the
nervous lady used her best endeavors to

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

the master-piece painting of Leonard' di Vinci, is
in preparation for the March number. Some beau

interesting views, will keep up a succession of

The terms of the Casket are S'2 50 per annum,

Considering- the qualityof. , he engravings given.
