THE STAfiE COACH.
A.V oLI> StKTCII BV" \\ ASHIJWroM IUVIXO.
In the course of a lieeemher tour in
Yorkshire, England, I rode for a long dis
tance in one of the public eoacJies, ou the
day preceding Christmas The coach was
crowded, both inside and out, with pas
sengers, who, by their talk, -oeiued prin
cipally bound to the mansions of relations
or friends, to eat the Christmas dinner.
It was loaded also with hampers of game,
and baskets and boxes of delicacies; aud
hares hung dangling their long ears about
the coachman's Imt. presents from distant
friends for the impending feast I had
three hue rosy-checked school boys for my
fellow-passengers inside, full of tho buxom
health aud uianly spirit which 1 have ob
nerved in the children of hij country.
They were returniug home for the holi
days, iu high glee, and protni ing them
selves a world of enjoyment.
It was delightful to hear the gigantic
plans of pleasure of the little rogues, and
the impracticable leaf t Ihey were to per
form during Iheir six weeks'* emaucipa
tion from the abhorred thraldom ot book,
birch, uiid pedagogue. They were full ol
the anticipations ol the meeting ailh
the family and household, down lo the
very cat and log. and of the joy they were
to give their sister by the presents with
which their pockets were crammed; but
the meeting to which they seemed to look
forward with tho greate t impatience wa
with Bantam, which I found to be a pony,
aud according to their talk, possessed
of more virtues than any deed Hince the
days of Bucephalns. How be could trot'
how he could run' and then such leapt m
he would take—there was not a hedge in
the whole country that he could not dear
They were under the particular guard
ianship of the coachuiail, to whom, when
ever au opportunity presented, they a, I
dressed a host of questions, and pronounc
ed him one of the best fellows iu the whole
world. Indeed, I could not but notice Ihe
more than ordinary air and importance ot
the coachman, who wore his hat a little on
one idc, and had a large bunch of Christ
ma: greens stuck in the button hole of his
coat. He is always a personage full of
mighty care and business; but he is par
ticiilarly so duriug this season, having so
many commission* to execute in eonsc
ijuenee of the great intcr-'liaugc of pres
cut . And here, perhaps il may not be
unacceptable to my untravelled readers,to
have a sketch that may serve as a general
representation of this numerous uud impoi
taut class of functionaries, who have a
dress, a manner, a language, an air, pecul
iar to themselves, and prevalent through
out the fraternity; so that, wherever all
English stage coachman may be seen, he
cauiiot be mistaken for one of any other
craft or mystery.
tic has commonly a broad full face, cur
iomdy mottled with red, as if the blood
had been forced by hard feeding into every
Vessel of the skin; he is swelled into jolly
dimensions by frequent potations of malt
liquors, and his bulk is still farther increas
ed by a multiplicity of coats, in which he
buried like a cauliflower, the upper one
reaching to his heels. He wears a broad
brimmed low-crowned hat, a huge roll of
colored handkerchief about his neck, know
ingly knitted and tucked iu at the bosom;
and has iu summer-time a large bouquet of
flowers iu his button hole, the present,
most probably, of some enamored country
lass. His waistcoat is commonly of bright
colour, striped, aud his small clothes extend
far below the knees, to meet a pair of jockey
boots which reach about half-way up his
legs.
All tlii:i costnmn is maiiilaiu«'<i with
much precision; ho ba* u pride in having
his clothes of excellent material a, and not
withstanding the seeming groasness of his
appearance, there is discernible that neat
ness ami propriety of person, which is al
most inherent in un Knglishmun. lie en
joys great consequence ami consideration
along the road; has frequent conferences
with the village housewives, who look np
on him as a man of great trust and de
pendente; and he seems to have a good
understanding with every bright-eyed
country la.-s. The moment he arrives
where the horses are to bo changed, he
throws down the reins with something ot
an air, and abandons the cattle to the care
of the hostler; his duty being merely to
drive them from one stage to another.
When off the box, his hands are thrust in
the pockets of his great coat, and he rolls
about the inn-yard with an air of the most
absolute lordliness. Here he is gener
ally surrounded by an admiring
throng of hostlers, stable boys,
shoe-blacks, and those nameless
hangers-on, that infest inns and taverns,
and run errands, and do all kind of odd
jobs, for the privilege of battening on the
drippings id' the kitchen and the leakage
of the tap-room. These all look up to hiui
as to an oraole; treasure up his cant
phrases; echo his opinions about horses
and other topics of jockey lore; aud, above
all. endeavor to imitate his air aud car
riagc. Kvery ragamuffin that has a coat to
his back, thrusts his hands in the pockets,
rolls iu his gait, talks slang, and is an em
bryo Coaehey.
l'erhaps it might be owing to the pleas
ing serenity that reigned in my own mind,
that I fancied I saw cheerfulness in every
countenance throughout the journey. A
Stage-Coach, however, carries animation
always with it, and puts the world in mo
tion as it whirls along. The horn, sound
ed at the entrance of a village, produces a
general bustle. Some hasten forth to meet
friends; some with bundles aud hand boxes
to secure places, and in the hurry of the
moment can hardly take leave of the
group that accompanies them. In the
mean time, the coachman has a world of
small commissions to execute; sometimes
jerks a small parcel or newspaper to the
door of a public bouse; auil sometimes
with knowing leer and words of sly im
port. hands to some hall-blushing, half
laughing housemaid, an odd-shaped billet
doux from some rustic admirer. As the
coach rattles through the village, every
one runs to the window, aud you have
glances on every side of fresh country
faces, and blooming giggling girls. At
the comers are assembled juntos of village
idlers and wise men, who take their sta
tions there for the important purpose of
seeing company pass; but the sagest knot
is generally at the blacksmith's, to whom
the passing of the coach is au event fruit
ful of much speculation. The smith, with
the horse's heel in his lap, pauses as the
vehicle whirls by; the cyclops round the
anvil suspend their ringing hammers, aud
snll'er the iron to grow cool; and the sooty
spectre in brown paper cap, laboring at
the bellows, leans 011 the handle for a mo
incut, and permits the asthmatic engine to
heave a long-drawn sigh, while he glared
through the murky smoke and sulphur
eons gleams ot the smithy.
I'crhaps the impending holiday might
have given a more than usual animation to
the country, lor it seeluod to me as i| ev

I was roused from this lii of Imurious
meditatiou by a shout from iuy little trav
eling companions. They liad been Ue.k
iug ont of the coach windows f.,r the last
few miles, re<. ognuing every tree and cot
tage a they approached home and theie
was a general burst of joy—"There's John'
aud there's old Carlo' and there's Bantam!'
cried the happy little rogues clapping
their hauds.

Off they set at last; one on tli»- pony,
with t liming bounding it nil barking before
him, anil the others holding John's hand?
Woth talking ut once and overpowering
him with questions ahont liom<\ find with
school anecdote*. I looked after them
with n feeling in which I do not know
whether pleaiflire or melancholy predomi
nated; for I was reminded -f tlnce day -
when, like theui, I had neither known cure
nor sorrow, und a holiday was the sum
mit of earthly lelieity. We stopped a few
moments afterwards, to witter the hones;
and on resuming our route, a turn of the
road brought us in sight »f a neat country
seat. I eould just distinguish the forms of
a lady an.l two young girls on the portico,
and I Maw my little comrades, with Ban
Uin, Carlo, and old John, trooping along
the carriage roail. I leaned out of the
coach window, in hopes of witnessing the
happy meeting, but 11 grow of tree shut il
from my sight.
In tin- evening we reached a village
where I bail determined to pass the night.
As we drove into the great gateway of the
inn, I saw, on one side, tin- light of a
rousing kitchen fire beamed through a
window. I entered, anil admired lor the
hundredth time, that picture of con
veuience, neatness, and broad honest en
joy men t, the picture of an English inn. It
was of spacious dimensions, bung round
with copper and tin vessles highly polish
ed, and decorated here and there with a
Christinas green. Hams, tongues and
flitches of bacon were suspended from the
ceiling; a smokc-juck made its ceaseless
claukiug beside the fire place, and a clock
ticked in one corner. A well sconreH deal
table extended along one side of the kiteli
on, with a cold round <>l beef, and other
hearty viands, upon it, over which two
foaming tankards of ale seemed mounting
guard. Travellers of inferior order were
preparing to titlark this stout repast,
whilst others ,iat smokiug and gossiping
over their ale ou two high-ltacked oaken
settles beside the tire. Trim housemaids
were hurrying backwards and forwards,
under the directions of a bustling landlady:
but still seizing an occasional moment to
exchange a tlippant word, and have a rally
ing laugh, with the group round the lire.
The scene completely realized Poor Koh
in's humble idea of the comforts id'mid
winter:
Now trees their leafy hats do barf
To reverence Winter's silver hair,
A handsome liostoss, merry lio.it,
A pot of ale and now a toast,
Tobacco and a good coal tiie.
Are thiugs this season doth require,
1 had not been long at the inn, when a
post chaise drove up to the door. A young
gentleman stepped out, and by the light of
the lamps 1 caught a glimpse of a counte
nance which I thought I knew. I moved
forward to get a nearer view, when his eye
caught mine. I wus not mistaken; it v. as
Frunk liracebridge, a sprightly, good hu
mored young fellow, with whom I had
once travelled ou the continent. onr
meeting was extremely cordial, for the
countenance of an old lellow-traveler al
ways brings up the recollection of a thou
Kind pleasant scenes, odd adventures, and
excellent jokes. To discuss all these in a
transient interview at un inn, wits impnssi
ble; and finding that I was not pressed for
time and was merely making a tour of ob
nervation, lie insisted that I should give
him a day or two at his father's country
seat, to which he was going to pass the
holidays, and whk h lay at a few miles'
distance. "It is better than eating a soli
tary Christmas dinner at au iun," said he,
"anil I can assure you of a hearty wel
come, in something of the old-fashioned
style." Ilis reasoning was cogent, and 1
must confess the preparation 1 had seen

being lionized very extensively, and when
he came down to Philadelphia of conrio he

"After he had inspected tin* whole es

A Queer Case.
Il wits a libel auit, and came np for triul
before a New York Judge last week
Thecoinplaimuit was Mr Eliza A Well ,
"u trance and materializing medium," the
defendant Colonel John I'. Huiidy. proprie
tor of the Kflifjio-Pliilostiphiciil Juumii'
He bad charged her with being a humbug
who "use i trick cabinets ami confederates
to accomplish her deception." She metl
for damages
This is how some of the proposed jurors
were questioned by the complainant's
lawyer and answered:
"Suppose it was proved ou evidence that
wus not disputed here that a form in human
shape appeared all clothed iu white, and
then dissolved into the air. would you be
lieve tho evidence?"
"No, I wouldn't."
"If yon saw such a phenomenon your
self; if you passed your hand through the
form ami lound it v.us only vapor, would
you then believe .such a thing was po
.siblcf"
"No, sir; I don't believe anything of the
kind could happen."
Another juror was asked: —
"Suppose positive evidence was produced
here to prove that a woniun was locked iu
au iron case competent to bold a tiger, and
that she came out without the moving of
the iron bars or the unlocking of the door
would you believe it*"
"Who cullle out, the tiger' '
"No, the woman."
No, I wouldn't."
"Would you believe iu the uiaterinlura
tion of a spirit form if it was revealed here
before your eyes!"
"No, sir. I would say there was some
deception."
Judge Beach ruled that all such jurors
were competent. The issue to be deter
mined, he said, wus whether, as the de
fendant charged mid offered to prove, it
trick cabinet and confederate bad been
used by the complainant, ami the Court did
not propose "the trial should wander over
the domain of Spirituuli in."
The plaintiff's attorneys argued that
their client would have no Khow if the
jurors would not believe it possible for any
one lo do wbilt she proffered to have done
But the burden of proof wit. on the tie
