Stage coaches frequently go upwards of an hundred miles in twenty-four hours; and I have heard friends say, in several places, that it is common for horses to be killed with hard driving.  Post-boys pursue their business, each one to his stage, all night through the winter.  Some boys, who ride long stages, suffer greatly on winter nights, and at several places I have heard of their being frozen to death.  So great is the hurry in the spirit in this world, that in aiming to do business quickly, and to gain wealth, the creation, at this day doth loudly groan!
