It was driven by a! stout,! thickest youhg fel

Sented an uncomfortable picture: of the miserieo
of travelling in a stage coach f in the monthof

In an instant all was noiso f and confusion &

The fire place was filled Wi tji pine boughs and
asparagus tops and over it this Wall Was cov
ered with advertisements of new invented ma
ciimes, pateat medicines, toll gate and tujnpiki
companies, and coarse prints' of steamboats, stage
coacn.es, opposition lines, and 1 Fortune's t homo

oaken settee, with high back!in4; lerobked eli

Uiilereut articles of a traveller's ; eqoippago ; tra-i

smoke of tobacco and the farrjs ibf brandy . ; 'i
At length the sound of the) wheals Was heard
at the door ; Stage rtddyl shouted the coach
man, puting his head in at tbe doyr' there was
a hurry and bustle about the irnl,1; the travel
lers crowded out : a short jiuiiso .succeeded : :- the
carriage door was slammed t!iB!;hate ; r arid the

hard ridden bv the ohantom of a Tirtir enlncrv.
that beatrode his iaiagination like the nightmare.
Nothing, was heard in the village but the bustle
of preparation, aud the martial musioof drums
arid fafes. 1 1 or: a while the ponderous wheel of
labor seemed to stand still. The clatter of the
cooper's mallet Was silent, ; the painter left his

in a long wavering liuej Here stood a. tall lan

red waistcoat nd; shining green coat, a little
round wool hat perched oa'tbe back of his head,
and downward, jfapering off in a pair of yellow
naukeens, twisteofand wrinkled about the knees,

like a hurra's nes(, set oft with a willow hat,
aud a iace thav iooked as if it Were of soal leath

An nouror i wo previous, an uoacst om uwa,
named Boaz, had been stationed upon the, high
road, notfarfrorn the entrance of fie village, e-
quipped with a loadeJ'gun, vhich he -was order-1
ed to fischargo, by way of signal, as soon as the
general suouio appear,. ' mi oi uio m puauv.c
arid 'Vlionitv of hia offioe. Boaz marched to and
fro across the dusty road, with his uiusket ready
cocked,' and his finger on the trigger. This Ma
ri2vering in the sun however, diminished his en
thusiasm, in proportion as it increased that of his
body: till at lengtli he sat dawn. ori,a stump in tbe
shade, and leaning his musket against the trunk
of a tree, took a short stemlued pipe out ef his
-pocket, and bcan to smoke J - As noon day drew
near he grew hungry, and nome sick: nis near
sunk into his Htomach. : Hi$ African philosophy
dwindled apace into a mere theory. Uverpower
etl by the heat cf the weather he grew drowsy,
his pipe ftil from his mouth this head lost itjs e
nuirjise.and drooned like a popoy upon his breast
and sliding gently from v hisi seat, he fell asleep
atrtne root oi tne tree. lie was arouaea uom uw
slumber by the rioiso ofl an empty wagon, that
came rattling along a eras road near him. Thus
stidde ily awakened, the! thooght of the general's
ap'pnach, the idea' of being sleeping on his post,
and the shame of havinff' cfiven the siffnal too
late, flashed together acrossfiis bewildered mind,
Mil Spnngmg upon his feet, he caugnt nis musicei

az, when he 'saw: the mistake he had made, and
the mischief he' had done, did not wait long tode-
Uberata, lut, throwing. his musket over his shoul
der, bounded into the woods, and was out of sight
in the twinkling of an eye. i '
The sharp report of the jrun rung far and wide
through the hush of noonti2e awakening many a
drowsy echo thU gr umbled m the distance, like
ainan reused untimely flora his rest. At the
sofHind cf the long expected signal gun the whole
Village was put in motion. Ihe drum beat td or
