They miht have kept some poor child warm, but they could not have been bou'ht at any price and the mother would not frivi them away to any one. Hie lacorated her heart afresh every ti.uu she handled them, but that shi: did not heed. The wind blew .fiercely around the corutr and nearlv lifted yir. liyram from his feet as he started homeward.

The Huh. Thomas T iruer, congrcssmaneb et froii the seventh district of ivientuckv, and a brother of W. s. Turner, of WasL.-in-toh, in this state, st-nds Us a letter full of valuable v iews and suggestions, from which we i la'..' .'pious extracts: To the e ditor of tin? Sentinel: sir An inten-e devotion to civil liberty and a well grounded fear; that it is in stnoti's danger, together with a high admiration for your article of fhe 27th ult.. headed "The Is-iues," must plead my excuse for addressing you without the pleasure of a jx-rsoh.-d acquaintance. Your artii h- is the only one 1 have seen that t onu s up to the tx-casion. If every democratic- paper would speak in the burning; patriotic words that yoürs has, it would awake, the country to "a se nse of itdangt rand to expresson in pronounced tone, that would drive Grant A Co. from tl.nr treasonable purjoses. Grant' scheme is. by Lnsn titrable usurpations, to grind tlie south into resistance to the federal army, and then cry out a new rebellion and arret most of the democratic members of congress uji'ti a chartre that they are the ring leaders of the new rebellion, and then say there is no congress to count th-.vote and th termine tlie controversy; that it is a necessity for him to hold over and assume unlimited tower in the absence of a quorum of the l ouse and senate who are not traitors. Should he fail in this, then he wishes to force an administration which will cover up and conceal the misdoings of himself an.f no-consr.irators and to provide a life office for himself as- üeid marshal of the army with a high salary. No ptople ever resisted or ever w ill resist prontj.tly any usurpation unb-rs the press ami orators rird anticipate tlie usuriation and point out that it ought to be resisted and that the con -equenees of resistance are less disastrous than those of Mibraission. The " press and orators of the north should ha-ge and point out these intended usurpations and their consequences, and if thev will the jople will speak eut in tones tha't will deter the con-pirators; or if it does not will cause prompt resistance when they have exhausted or been denied all legal means of redress. . If congress does not come up to lbs duty at once; and within 10 days, all is lost, "and Grant w ill riJitfnlly oonelude that the people will bear anything while they have such cowardly leaders. What think you of the polity of a conference eif the democrats of the present congress, and the one elect, and taking joint ground that w hile they will feed the rank and rile of the army they will ntt vote a dollar t any otlicer w ho Las or does lend himself to the usurpations cf this administration, or any future one, and that they will refuse any salary on appropriations to jay a president forced on them by fraud, or to any of his appointees?

Itlileago Sunday Hcst'd. 'Among the many grand tdd eu-touis whicli the American stttlers praeticed. perhaps brottarlit over with thciii. wa one whirl has not received the amount of attention it deserved, whether from a mistake u delicacy on the part of liesWoidt nts fro-u the x-oph- who w t-r- its tij-hohlers, or from whatever rea.-oti lie j'lca-yiit, recreative and amatory system of "bundling." which-v.is wont to make the livei-f New Inlanil youth and maiden swtttly happy, ha- uot leei celebrated in song and story of late v ears. In (be earlier days of this country tb- settlers were iior. and freqiieutly their habitalioti contained hut a single apartment. U'li'de familie- were, thert-fore, compelled to live, cat and sb-e in the .-ame ro-.n-., and the stranger within their gates had. of ncccsity, t take tot luck with the ret. Keen when increasing prosperity added a li'tli to the original cabin, it was yet nec-e-stry to practice economy i,i sr,,h. matters as tire and candles, and it is a. together probnble that bundling came into vogue under these conditions. The girls had their sweethearts, of course, and tlffje, after a hard day's work, wonld frequently walk H or miles through the snow to visit their lady loves. It would be eruwh re:i;?ned tlie compla-ent pitrents ef yore, to turn the faithful .swt'in out again at midnight; and so, under certain restrictions, be was allowed toshare Dulcitu-a's virtuous cotieli. Ik-fore proceeding, to a more exact description of thi- phase of colonial home life among the humbler clashes, we will pause for an instant to remark "yum. yum!" It is evening in a New Englund stttment. tlie time i- winter; brigUt glinting eover-l-t-, of snow rest on the bosom of earth; h it it-s d-p nd from the trees, and the chaste full mo m beams from over. a 1'eccy cloud. Hospitable- smoke curls from the farm house .diimney, and the ruddy tire-glow dances on tlie littie diauiond jhi'cs of the parlor w indow; "whence Jemou watches for htr expected lover. Without a'l is peace; the gentlemen and lady rows are bundled in well sheltered sheds, thv chanticker and ehahticlcc.res.ses arc bundled in the hennery, even the c;rts are bundling on the kilt hen roof: and the "swate little fih. tho' he can't s-iakc his wish," is supposed to be bundling with ll.e female of his kind under the bank of yon frozen brooklet. All natiire calls us to bundle let us bundle! Presently Keubeu comes trudging along through the snow, ami slumps loudly on the door Mcp, as he shakes a show er of Hakes from Jits shaggy coat. Jemima is at the dot r instanter, and a pair of plump, round arms encircle tlie youth's willing neck, causing his blood to fly "like sparks from burnt up paper. After his long walk, supper, plentiful, and homely. i.s right welcome, and then the "craps" a". discussed for a little- while with the old folks affairs at the meetin' bouse, and so forth; but shortly the elders yawn and. expressing the hope that the lovers will lind "kivcr" sutiicicnt on their bed, they retire in confidence that nothing beyond "innocent endearments" will occur. Some people say that these youthful couples used to sit up until the night had. far advanced, but, ''pui yourself, iu his place,'' and soy if you believe it! Pa and ma are scarcely out of hearing lefore Jemima and l'euben unanimously agree that it is too cold to fcit'un, and straightway prepare for bed. Do not blush at the apparent impropriety of this arrangement; the early religious terxhings of tbese simple folk were o strict, their religion had so t-trong a hold upon them, and they were altogether so v irtuous and honest that no harm was known to grow out of this innocent method t.f courting t xcept sometimes. More than this, both parties kept their clothea on some of them and, that t-eing the case, vhat more h.-.rin was there in lying down upon a warm feather bed, with plenty of comfortables over them, than shivering be fore the embers of a dyinr fire, and wasting candles? Should any scod'er suggest that warmth i.s more conducive to some things than cold is, we ny to that .scoffer that he is hypercritical. Ktiquette required that the gentleman should divest himself tif no more than his coat, vest, trousers and shoes; tin lady kept on an under petticoat, at least. Thus in the innocent "endearments of a chaste love, did youth and maiden send the idqht of oourt-hip. in the gulden days of yore. That "natural msequemvs" .sometimes ensued ei-cn these bundling? no'ttody will deny, but they were comparatively rare, and according to the gossip of that thiy. not half so frequent as they were in New York, Loston, Salem and New port, after the more civilized city mothers began to discountenance tle practice, and substituted sofas instead, "that courtship might be more proper," or. as the anti-sofaius had it, "more Turkish." It is not to be wondered at that a.custom which must have been firmly rooted in the ahoctions of the people, especially the young, should linger long and tlie hard, although sorely assailed by enemies. So it was with bundling. Nothing in particular had ln?en urged ag-iinst it, during the earlier life of the colonics, but, after the hardy sons of New England returned from their Canadian campaigning in the French and Indian war, they brought bark looser principles than those which they had started with, and it began to be apparent that bundling was not as safe as it had previously- been considered. We have no record of any fact which would lead us to assume that the buxum . la-ses uf that tlay were any less favorably inclined than formerly, but as left handed entrances upon the scuiie oflife increased in number, parents bciran to wondfr whether this kind of sparking was "what it had been cracked up to bo." Still bundling was in its most lusty' prime at this period, and did not entirely disappear until Ion r after our revolutionary war. wliieJi event did, indeed, Lave much to do with ltd downfall, owing to the laxity of wartime, morals. In 177o, a clergyman from one of the tow us went int. the country and preached against "the unchristian custom of yotftig men and maidens living together on a bed." No sooner had the unfortunate parson made bis exit from the meeting house, than he wa assailed by a mob of oil ladies, who began to haul hi over the coals with vigor. Said they: ''Do you think we and our daughtersare naughty, beciuse we allow bundling-?" "You lead your-xdves into temptation by it," replied lie. Tbe irate females then desired to knjw if he bud been, told this, or ppoke from experience? "The Levite began to lift up his eyes, and to consider of his situation, and bowing, said: I have been told no.' The ladies, una , bawled out: 'Your informants, sir. we conclude, are those city ladies who prefer a i-ofa to a bed; we advise you tolter your sermon by substituting the word sofa fur bundling, and on your return home preach it to them, for experience has told us that city folks .send more children into the country without fathers or mothers to own them than are

lorn among u; therefore, you s.-e. a sofa is more daii-rous than a bed.'" I! is Lory teii us tnat this preacher never again tackled the subject of bundling. THE trickv mm. Ilnrtnle. I'nnc-le of h Mildxndliihr. !; iaoiwr. New York fn)iie. " Of the thousands of people who pa-.' through the ca-t sid- of Mat'i-on square park every day many .-top to take a secondlook at a sun-bronrcd man who invariably occupies the middle seat of a three-seated settee.- He is as broad-liouldercd a- a giant and has an eve as bright as an e?jrlv, but, it is sonn thing else about him that coinmai ds attention. He lias an air of reio.-t tbat is the vision of the sculptor and the nvd of tbe actor. Jiooking at thv eareb--, et of Iiis hat uut Lis brow and tli-r lev.s. n.iii' "rt of his elothtrs. vou would s:iy that Walt Whitman had strolled into the square for u "l-'irst-day luaf;" looking at the man you would say the Apollo IU-I vettere, grown fulle r of habit, had tired of its po-ition and was taking a rest in the p'oa.-tnte-t green spot it e-ould find in New York. This is George- Francis Train. Mr. Train says he died four years ago. Then for the first time, while lie was in the Tombs sulh-rinjas a martyr for the cause of free speeeh, he Tound that what he supposed he had been doing fyr tbe world he had in reality been ding for hiin.'Clf Train. Then. c;T'e lea'Ji and a larger life. He took J.OoO Turkish baths. After the first iiO he banished meat from his diet. Another hundre d baths sufficed to let him see that he could not eat butter. At further successive sUtgcs of his course of bathing he stopp 'd sitting beside people, stopped all hand shaking, ami discovered that he must not allow jcople who were not in psychological affinity with him to talk" to him otr two minutes. It is very probable tbat he thinks that even this limited intercourse between him and a large portion, of the human race must soon cea-e. He docs not know what it will lead to. He did not wonder that people called him crazy. "If a eocoanut," said he, "happens to roll into a village of j-eanuts. of course the eanuts will call it cray. They don't understand it. It i.s too big for them. When I died, four years ago, I discovered myself. I discovered that I was bigger than anything 1 aw. I am now universal. Think of those nun offering me the presidency! They to ask me to get isto their poor broken down wagon when I am bow ling along the road behind a four-in-hand!" Ashe uttered the words his listener was irresistibly reminded of lidwin Forrest, as he used to draw himself up and seem actually to grow taller in pronouncing the jia.--at.'e in "Kin Lear." "Yes. every inch a kin::! " When Mr.. Train discovered himself mur years ago he was- then in the evolutionary stage. Human progressson begins at that stage and tht nee. advances' by a series of colossal steps to the highest plain. It is, tirst, evolution; se-cond, absorption; third, universality, and fourth, psychology. l!y evolution Mr. Ttain makca n reference to the theories of Darwin ami Huxley, for whom he cares little, but means the natural progression of the mind anil the birth of one idea -at the dissolution of another, l.y psyched ogy he means the sum of human attainments, lie will not use the terms ".-0111" or "spirit," Krause they seem to him vague and mi-hading. At present he is universal. He is a drop in the ocean of life. Once when it was urged upon him by a friend that if he was a drop in the ocean he could .lot lit Ip being moved by the ycean, he readily admitted the force of the simile, and confessed that he w as move d, but only by the ocean of which he was a part. I le was moved by the children who cru waled about him. If he could .save the world from ruin by the movement of a linger, be would not move his finger unless it should huppen to afford him some pleasure to do so. Once he talked for a little time w ith an intelligent Kgger in the park, who at the close td the conversation re j resented that he was in very needy circumstances. "I have 'evolutcr' so far," saiel Mr. Train, as he turned on his heel unmoved by the petition, "that I freely accord you the right to starve.'
