Note: First published (as by "the author of Twice-Told Tales") in the Democratic Review, October 1837.
Synopsis: A sketch of daily life. "From the vantage of a traveler resting himself on the bench outside the [toll]booth, we see all manner of humanity pass by: a farmer with his oxen, a married couple and their little girl, a pair of young lovers, and even a sour-faced pickle salesman." (Bill Kerwin) At night, the toll-gatherer contemplates the stars and thinks of the ephemeral nature of passing figures.
