THE WAGGONER.

" Corruit in curru suo." —i Chron. xxii.

His cart, loaded with wine casks, has been overturned, andone of his horses thrown down by two mischievous Deaths.One of them is carrying off a wheel, and the other isemployed in wrenching off a tie that had secured one of thehoops of the casks. The poor affrighted waggoner is claspinghis hands together in despair.
