THE POSTILLION.

When the family travels post, the helper in the stables, and the

stable-boy, generally ride as postillions: on other occasions, the boy

or helper, rides and drives the chariot and other carriages; or if he

be a regular servant, he has the care of a pair of horses. Wages from

16 to 20 guineas.—His clothing is nearly the same as the grooms, only

that he has a cap, and generally a jacket instead of a frock coat.
