THE ouAIBUS AND IT'S MORALITY.

ftw DAYS since we Iroached the topic Of omnibus man
rers and We wish now to do the partial justice which so
then promised The question as 10 the limits OF fen
mine exocOn the hand and Of masculine courtesy
on the other; whether in fact either has any limit
Let US state On incident Not long since we entered an
omnibus Greenwich street to 10 the corner OF Bowey
nd Grand where had engaged to meet our better half
a. certain hour IN order company her to The eastern
side Of The town. Our entrance completed the number OF
pass1cors But the driver drew mp after to take in
two nj Of seventeen eighteen, who had been shop
ping in CanalsIto ard now o. therway hom each
will considerable parcel in her hand As the stage stop
ped We mildly informed tie ladies that number was
complete but good naured German who eat between US
md the door assured them that there plenty of ROOM
telling Us az the sem time tia, tie stage full TO
ade. and accordingly fair invaders entered and
the dishonest Iehu snapped his whip what does our fro
icsone Teuton do but force them both down upon oar
tnoous knees and leave the undivided burden Of Their
eleesome grayics for the remainder Of the journey
We could easily have borne ell this The young ladies
were consdeIa,e ard sat lightly as they knew now
There was Iesides certain ocnse ns ar Of maiden
nodesiv about them which gave feeling tn whilst
Observing the higher powers, and nads our deietence
worshpu ard easy But entered Grand street and
opproabed lie Bowery the anxious thought could not but
inrde Whether or lot cur aate and eyeUnary ooaso-t
had ready arrived at the appointed spot y few more
iots OF the omnibus and few smohred giggeson the part

evo fu upon our foolish coun5nan'e and perceived the
booine and tuxom balrca6e behind which not our VIII
but mistaken sense Of duty alone had forced r., We
struggled Grduously out of embsrra-nent' and ds
scented tIeading thankfully the German toe by the
vay: but we found eur journey unnecess NY. Jemna
Eel, no desire 70 vii, the side OF he town appa

followed quietly in her wake wishing every confountef
German back in Vaierand To ourre erted protesa ou
efthe Truth on hs subject Je,nna lent after While,
ple,sed attention and we msy dsas this aspect
Of tn. affair BY saving that e current OF our felicity fell
ye-v soon into It's ord. nsry unimpedld channels
Pu, now we appeal 10 our readers 70 The question OF
duty in this case VAST duty to pas these dmsels on
