THE HIGHLAND COACHMAN.—john has a pre-
sentable person, a sagacious
countenance, and, when seated
on the box, he flips his steeds and manages the ribbons to
admiration.' Ho has not started a hundred yards when he
finds occasion for a story, which is sure to be greeted with a
roar of laughter from those alongside of and behind him.
Encouraged by success, John absolutely coruscates, anec-
dote follow anecdote like the flashes of sheet-lightning on
a summer night, and long before he has come to his
journey's end he is implored to desist, the convulsed
midriffs of his auditors crying out, " Hold, enough 1"
His story of the " Paisley Bodies" is inimitable.
Two of these, with their spouses, had been picked up
by the Inverary steamer, at the " Water Net." The
knights of the loom and shuttle, although desirous of
enjoyment, naturally gravitated towards the steward's
room. One called out to the other, "Come down closer to
the steerage, Jeames, and hae a dram, and you, Magge,
staun where ye are, and caa us up when the scenery begins."
The power of gallantry could no further go. Another re-
lative to the grief of a Highland farmer, who had recently
lost his wife, is still better. A friend called upon the be
reeved man to condole with him. "It must have been a
great loss, Duncan, to you, for she was a goot woman."
"'Deed it was, a fery great loss, indeed, returned Duncan)
wiping a tear from his eye; and then adding,
in a tone
laden with emotion, " An', let me tell you, Donald, accom-
panied, too, with a fery considerable deal of expense.
Eclectic, for September.
