RESPECT THE BURDEN, MADAM. the mean time the car had become entirely full, and several persons, not being able to find seats, were standing in the aisle. Presently the conductor came and told the two young ladies above-mentioned, that he should be obliged to move their packages from the vacant seats, as the car was so full. They accordingly took their places together in one seat, and the conductor turned the others, so as to make four new places for the persons who were standing. Thus the aisle was pretty well cleared. Presently there came into the car a dashing young lady, carrying a dog in her arms, and followed by a gentleman who looked as dashing as herself. She wore a showy dress, and walked along the aisle looking to this side and to that with a very pretentious air, as if she expected that somebody would move, and offer her a seat. As she came near the place where Juno was sitting, she said, speaking apparently partly to herself and partly to the gentleman behind her, ? ' Where shall we get a seat 1 Ah here, this coloured girl will give us this seat, I dare say. She has got nothing but a child with her.' Juno paid no attention to this speech, but looked quite composed and unconcerned; and the lady, after giving her rather a rude stare, passed on, the gentleman following her, and both went out of the car at the door at the rear. Several other persons came in at the front end of the car, and passed through, looking in vain for seats, and finally went out at the rear, intending, apparently, to try their luck in the next car. Presently the door opened, and a poor-looking woman came in with three children. One was a baby, in her arms. The second was a little thing just big enough to walk, who toddled along just behind her mother, holdin.
