out at the window, and impIOred the eoach1 man to slop-s Coachman,' cried he, Coachman for Heavens sake stop the coach {! The coach did stop, and thas speedily, for the cry was urgent, and buih doors being set wide open, we (the four lean ones) as Saon as we could disentangle our selves, got out upon the road, shoe.lop deep tn mud, and the rain raining as thong!, It thought the sooner we were cooled tha better; whilst the two fat ones, assisted by
 the coachman and others, were getting themselves set upright on their own pro-
 pria persona seats; and this matter a-
 chieved, we all got in again. Now you
 would think, perhaps, that afer such u
 squabash, the fat mans appetite would be-
 sadly deranged and thought SD too but
 was mistaken; for il, less than an hour
 after I sat down to dinner with hin. at one
 of the inns in Dover, and I'll just tell you
 the manner his feeding.
 1 1t was sort of four shilling ordinarv-.
 plenty of food there was and some tweu-
 ty or thirty feeders---each with four ounce
 lump of bread by the side of his pla,e.- You'll take some soup, sir 2'--said son,e-
 body to the fat Franklin. Yes, I'll take soup.' said he and did three plates full. to
 which he added the aforesaid four ounce 1 lump of bread. You'll take salmon, Sir2' I'N take salmon, and some bread waAer.' The plate of bread was handed to him. and having paw'd on three or four ounce humps. he ingulph'd two of 'enl with the salmon. Shall l send fried sole, sir? "Yes. m take fried soles, and some fresh ale, waiter.' A quartjug of ale was set beside him; and hNv inu snrtlNhS1 .~r sA K As1sA sent down half pound sole, and the fourth lump of bread after the salmon. Here's line brill, sir {; you will allow me to send you somer Yes, I'll take some brill, and some bread wai,cr.' The plate of bread was again handed to him, and hav- ing paw'd off four Jumps, down went one of them with the brill, and another goblet of ale cleared his gullct for the5second course. l Second course :--R Roast beet roast pig. calf's head, and boiled leg of mutton.-- Beef, sir ?-" Yes; I'll take some beef; Champ, champ, champ, chamble, chan,ble, champ. apd gulp-gulp-gulp;" and thess was an end of the beef, and M third goblet ofale. Some calf's head, sir 2 !" Yes; Ill take s4fS head ;slsEasssea sleEEap ehap
 up-bread, wai,er,-sIerup, chamble, champ; gulp, gulp, gulp;" aud thus ended tue sec" 0nd course.
 Third course ;-ShalI I send you the wing of this goose, sir2-" Yes; I'll take tho wing of a goose, ,"--and he did. Allow
 me to send you slice or two of the breast. sir L." Yes I'll take some ofthe breast s' -and l,e did. Some boiled fowl and oys-. ters. sir?-" Yes; I'll take some boiled fowl and oysters-slerup, slerup. champ champ. champ-stOp waiter !--whcre are
 YOU going with that duck l--I shall take
 some duck 2" sud having finished his boil-
 ed fowl and oysters, he helped himself to
 the breast and leg of the duck. By this
 time his eyes stood out like q lobster's;
 ,l,e pcrspiration stood in large drops upon
 his bald front. But still he went on champ,
 champ, champ; and fearing the pastry
 would be cleared away before he had fn-
 ished his duck, he contriyed to eat the sol- i'd slices from tue breast on onO side of bis
 mouth. whilst he gnaw'd the meat from the leg win the other--the drGmsiick poking
 out from the corner of his mouth, tilt h
 dropped completely picked upon his plate. Theo, guiping down tho remainder of h's ale. l,e tossed glass of brandy after it; and
 asked for damson tart ;, swallowed t n :" {; ;ltwinkline little custard puddingY Yes.
 Cheese l--and fnally bottle of sherry --- Is it not monstrous, that fellow like this who will cram himself with more food than would serve dozen moderate men, ' should obtrude his abominable paunch up- !. on decent people, and get his overwe'ghs , carried about from town to town TOT noun , iagl

That is altogether too hiighs' said s she. {" I had rather look at some that comes n cheaper." He exhibited some of rashes r inferior quality. "This." said he.
