A MISER MOUNTED PORTRAVEL.—It was seven o'clock
on a March morning as the door of the hall creaked on its
one hinge, and Isaac Peppercorn, followed by Biddy the
housekeeper, and Cupid the terrier, came forth into the light.
Lame was equipped for travel: He carried—we cannot say
wore—a coat of forgetton black ; made for him in the days of
his belly, be having many years since subdued that deformity.
The coat met in one wide wrinkle down the back, pocket
yearned to pocket ; and
_the large cuffs hung like horse-col-
lars on the wrists of the hearers ; who had ventured himself.
into breeches coeval with the coat, and had armed his legs
with
boots—evidently made, but found too big, for some i
giant—as hard as horn. A broad-brimmed hat, tied over his :
ears with a red hankerchief, secured the beaver Vora the sud- I
den prancings an d caricolings of the horse, should the animal
indulge therein. „
Alas . much was the gravity of that ancient
quadruped but that little looked very like a withered
apple. He cam
scandalised by the precaution. Little of Isaac's
whip with a handle a yard-and-a-half
face was to be seen, but a
long, and a thong thereto—fortunately the horse was blind—
enough to appal the heart of a Bucephalus. Isaac said a few
words in a voice between ac

noyance of a party left at the Hall ; we mean, Cup id the Cuter-
rier. Now, the dog was as lean, nay even leaner than the
horse, but there was a something in its spirit—it must have
been hope—that as it sometimes looked at the white horse
on the common, made it cheerful, nay, even gamesome. This
morning, however, it was but too plain that all was not right
with Cupid. As the horse stood saddled, waiting for the
rider, Cupid as on tip-toe walked round it, now looking in
its face, and now at its ribs, and now gazing mournfully at
its master. When, however, Peppercorn was fairly mounted,
-and the steeds after due consideration, stumbled into a trot,
Cupid tried to barkt but its voice failed, and it only wheezed
at the departing horse-flesh ; and yet, as plainly as legacy-
linuter ever mourned his disappointment, did Cupid exclaim
—" There go my long-nourished hopes of many, many din-
