unobserved. The Major inquired sat
what hour the mail-stage would pass for

reply please to secure me seat,
said the MAJOR, and let me be walked at
the proper hour.' only one seat 2 in
quired the host. One seat only was
the reply. The landlord remarked that
it was customary for gentlemen, who set
off in the night, to pay their fare in adj
vance; upon which the Major paid for
the seat.
The Major and his bride retired to Sc
para,e chambers the former was soon
locked in The arms OF sleep, but the lat
ter repealed the drowsy god from her
eye-lids. When she heard the stage
drive up to the door of the Inn, she has
lily rose, and having previously made up
her bundle, without which lady never
steals march, fastened down stairs.
Upon the wey she met the landlord, who
inquired if her husband was awake.
He is not said the lady, and need
not be disturbed
The seat was taken for you then ? in
