STAGECOACH DAYS.
Story of a Trip From Portsmouth to
London In 1850.


London In 1850.
There are men and wonderland they
are not always the old-who deplore
the breathless pace of the age. In
stagecoach days, they tell us, life was
a different thing. People journeyed
through the years leisurely then; ex-
istence had a flavor A century ago a
journey meant fellowship and merry
adventures and a comfortable enjoy
ment of the beauties of the landscape.
All this may be so, but a traveller
who made the journey from Ports
mouth to London in 1850 shows that
even stagecoach days had their shad-
ows.
"The getting up on the coach alone
was at the risk of ones life" he wrote,
"and when l was up l had nothing to
hold on to except little handle at the
side. The moment we set OF thought
/ saw certain death before me. The
machine rolled with tremendous rapid
ity over the stones and every minute
seemed to fly in the air, so that it APP
peared to me a complete miracle that
we stuck to the coach at all.
This continual fear of death at last
became insupportable to me, and l
carefully crept along the top of the
coach and ensconced myself in the
basket behind.
"On a sudden the coach proceeded at
a rapid rate down hill. All the boxes,
iron nailed and copper fastened, began
to dance around me, and every moment
1 received such violent blows that l
thought my last hour had come. Shak-
en- to pieces, bleeding and sore, l crept
back to my former position. And it
rained necessarily, and as before we
were covered with dust so now VIZ
