which I at once inferred was that of a lady. The horse
rushed by, and sure enough, a young lady had fallen on the floor of the
buggy, holding the reins, evidently entangled and embarrassed in her
posture, uttering the most heart-rending cries and shrieks, with
intermingled calls to the horse to stop.
I could not help looking at the horse, as he passed, with feelings of
