"Dreadful, sir feelingly responded the conductor. "Why the brakemen can't live outside, and so I look the other way when they creep in, poor fellows, to get a breath of warm air at the stove. We haven't had snoh a night sinoe a year ago come the seoond of.

"Hardwick." ; h was quite a considerable city with a handsome iron deput, flaring gas lamps, sod (be usual crowd sronnd the p'atform, with its hand in lti pockets and i:s oigar ends flaming through the night. -' Our car was nearly tho last of the long train, and but one passenger entered it a slender young girl, wrapped in gray blanket (bawl, and wearing a neat little traveling hat of gray straw, trimmed with stone colored velvet flowers. She seemed to hesitate, like one nnnsed to traveling'. and finally sat down near the door. "J'ardon me young ladv " said I, "but you bad better come nearer the stove.",,. She started, hesitated an instant, and then obeyed. "Does this train go to liayswater 7"sho asked in a voice so deliciously soft and sweet that it seemed to thrill through me "ics.: Dan 1 be of any servioe to youf "Uh, no at least not until we res oh Bayswater.,1 would like a oarriage then." "We shall not be there these three hours." "Do we stop sgain 7" "Only at Exmouth." . She drew a deep sigh, seeming of re lief, and settled baok in a eorner. By the light of the lamp that hung in its brass fixture opposite, I could see her face, that of a lovely ohild. Apparently she wss not more than sixteen, with large blue eyes, golden hair drawu straightaway Iron) ber race, sna ft little rosy niouth like that of a baby. "Do vou expeol friends to meet rou at Bayswater, my child f" I asked ineident- "Ho, sir I am going Io school there." "It will be an awkward hour for vou to arrive by youwelf one in the morning." "Uh, lin not afraid," she said with an artless little laugh ; "I shall gostrsight to tbe Bcimoary. ' So the express train thundered on, with steady, ceaseless puking at its iron heart, and constant roar. Suddenly the signal whistles sounded, the train began to slacken its speed. "fcurely we re not at Uxmonih vet," I thought, "unless I have fallen uncon sciously ssleep and allowed the progress of time to escape me.

"Great heavens 1 what a monster I" We had continued the conversation throughout in a whisper, soaroely above our breath, and now the oonduotor rose and left me to study the faces of my fel low passengers, with curious dread and horror. - Somehow, often as I rovolved tbe mat ier in my mind, my fanoy would settle on a ooarse, gross looking man opposite, with a DUBny heard and a shaggy wool ooat, with tho oollars turned up round his ears. I felt eonvinced that this man, with the brutal eyes, and thehesvy, banging jaws, was tbe Cain 1 and u I looked furtively across I caught tbe wide open blue orbs of the fair girl.

The kitohen of sn excellent family of which I .apeak is piesided over by .a good looking domestio whom we will call Mary Ann, she rejoicing in the at tentive devotions of a manly young serv snt, employed by a neighboring family, named John. Now, such were John's relations with the fair Mary Ann they were I'engaged," just like anybody's folks that he wu in the babit ot entering his inamorata's domains without the formality of knocking. And be it kiown that the lord of the mansion had been absent sev eral days and wu expected borne by the evening train. On that evening the mis tress of tbe house sat in her boudoir panting with expectations of the coming of her husband. Shortly she heard or thought she did bis familiar footstep at the side door, (his usual place of entry,) and dashing down tbe stairs in the dark ness, she precipitated herself into his arms. There was an earnest embrace. A loving, lingering kiss was imprinted upon tbe lips of the representative of the sterner sex. He answered not, but press ed her closer to his heaving bosom. How long this thing would have gone on is not for us to say, bad not sn adjoining door been thrown open by the pretty Mary Ann with alight in her hand, and what a sight wu revealed to all there I Mary saw her handsome mistress In the arms of ber own lusty lover John ; tbe mistress saw, not her expeoted spouse, but Mary Ann's young man ; and John well he wu so dumbfounded (supposing he was hugging Mary Ann all tbe time) that he couidn t aee anything. In the midst of this muddle her husband entered, and then the tableau viiant wu complete 1 He .very eoon comprehended the affair however, and had too much rood sense to toold bis wife for her "carelessness," or to keep so good a joke to himself, but be never imagined it would get into the pa pers.

(Tor the Ashland Union. EXTRA BOUKTIES- The laws of 8olon declared that man infamous who stood neutral in time of se dition ; and how muoh more justly do tbe diotates of tbat inward monitor declare a man infamous, but despicably so, who in this the hour of our country's greatest danger supinely folds his hands, and awaits with calm, unconcerned resignation, the bursting of the coming storm ; yea, in a great measure invite and urge on acts whiob are ultimately destined to dethrone frtedom, and establish a despotism per- Uaps ss grand, yet u oruel ss that of Nero. I am well aware tbat the person who raises his voice against the corruption so shookingly displayed in the balls of the National Congress is Tory apt to be de nouhoed by a class of orioging syoophants, who disgrace the name of American citi- sen, as either a traitor or rebel sympathi zer. Notwithstanding all this o'alumnT T would feel myself unworthy indeed the name of toUier if I onuld cowardly stand by and see my oountry, that oountry for which so muoh precious blood bu been shed tbst country for which so many and heroio sacrifices have been made destroyed and ruined in my name. Fellow soldiers I to you let me whisper a few warning words, and I would im plore you by all the recollections' of our put sufferings, by all tbe glorious hopes we so fondly cherish for the future, to heed, and weigh them well; they are no vain and idle boastings, but tbey are con ivctions which must force themselves up on the mind of any reading, thinking man who is in the leut acquainted with tbe history of those nations whose names now live, but upon the page of tbe his torian. If you will examine the public journals you will He tbat the radical members of the present Congress have in vented a plan to buy up, not only the votes, but the very manhood of the Amerioan soldiery. Now the question resolves itself into this simple form. Are you willing to aooept the price put upon your bead 7 If you answer In ths affirm, stive, then farewell liberty, farewell smil ing pesos which we have courted in vain, and weloome despotism; welcome war with all your long train of horrors: A bill bu been introduced into Con gress commonly called "a bill to equalize bounties, " but, more properly called, "a gill to oonfer unlimited power upon mad fanatics of the Butlxb, Steyins and Ashley school." Tbey propose in this bill to give to esoh soldier who hu not already received tbat amount the sum of 88,83 per month for tbe time he may have seived, u an additional bounty. Now, no one will question the abstraot merits of this bill. It is an act of jus tice. But the question that presents it self is not whether it is right that we should have this additional sum, but is it tae to bestow it now, and is it given to us u a retcard for meritorious conduot, or is it held out u a Iribe f First I would say, it is not safe. Let us look at the financial affairs of our gov ernment and I think if you are not blind. ed with prejudice you will agree with me. Our national debt is about two billions of dollars (2,000,000,000), mote thsn two hundred and fifty times the annual in come of England when, she carried on the gigantio wars under Cromwell's Pro tectorship ; more than the entire outtay of the government from the time of the framing of the Constitution down to ths close of Buohanan'a Administration ; an array of figures which tbe mind becomes bewildered in contemplating. And yet it is proposed at this time when an ava lanche of commercial ruin and bankruptcy is banging over our heads, threatening to bury us in graves u deep and dismal, u the black lava of Yesuviua furnished to the mighty Herculaneum to add to this crushing weight, tbe amount of one bun drtd millions more. Is this not a subjeot to call forth the serious thoughts of the patriot. Most of the soldiers of the late war are men In moderate circumstances; they have not their thousands invested In Five-Tweoties or Seven-Tbirtios; tbey constitute an Important body of the Tax paying community, and it seems like msd boss in them touk, that the alrudy Im mense debt be augmented by sum wbioh in the palmy days of tbe republic under Jefferson would hare appeared fabulous, Remember the bid adage, "it wu tbe lut straw tbat broke tbe camel's baok. Suppose yotdo reeetra tbe small pittance) of one or two hundred dollars. ' Is K real' ly m increase to your fortune 7 ' .o you not pay bacj by an indirect tax sot only NO. 38 the prindipal, but an exorbitant intereat, together with the salaries of the pay-mas-ten and numerous clerks who will be em ployed in its distribution. There are other considerations mote im portant than any we can take from a finan cial stand point, and they are the real ob jects aimediat, jn.this dark plot a plot mors hellish in its nature than the con- spirsoy of Catiline or Guy Faukes. History tells us that when Cmsar form- ad the design upon the liberties of Borne, be opened out the wsy by many bribes in tbe shape of gifts; and vhen Caligula would have his despotic aots put in force, a well paid guard wu at hand to do his bidding. The political demagogues of Congress arc now centralising their efforts to obtain power like that wielded by Cm sarwhen be raised his throne upon the ruins of the Roman Commonwealth. ' A systematic plan hu been mapped out to reaoh this point. ' ThtTresident it to be dragged before the bar of impeachment; Gen, Grant is to be deprived of bis high command ; the Supreme Court is to be overthrown; and thus at one fell swoop are those guards with whiob our fathers fenced the Constitution to be blotted opt The power of the Executive and the ar- my is to be transferred to tbe hsnds of unscrupulous partisans. Another Star Chamber equaling in horror that of Eng land under the First Charles will rear its head under the dome of the Capitol, and before this tribunal, Innocent men and women will be hurried, and the type .of another Jeffreys will pass the sentenoe "to the block with them." You, my fellow soldiers are to play, no mean part in this great game. You are to be appealed to, to sustain these (evolu tionary plans- You are to be reminded of the giflt that havo been bestowed up on you. . , Your sympathies like the co horts of CsMsr, will be with tbe apparent friend snd benefactor. You will thue be made tbe means of destroying that liber ty which for five years, through ths blood and smoke of battle you have suffered, and fought to maintain. Oh remember that "there are no groans liko the groans of expiring liberty and no convulsions such u her agony extorts I'1 Read but the history of Frsnoe from 1789 to 1799 and let that bloody record, be a warning to you. In the name of liberty, Kobe spierm and Dsnton drove Lafayette fjom the head of the army of the French Re public, and under the protecting wing of that army these bed men made France to flow with the blood of both Royalist and Republican. Are you willing to inaugur ate a reign of terror in Amerloa 7 If not thiqk long and ponder well over this mat ter. Remember that . when the sordid puiions of msn are appealed to that the voice of Reason ceues to sway the mind and we rush to the support of the most infamous outrages, upon the rights of the weak and powerless. One word more before I oloae. 1 re' marked that it wu nothing more than an act of justice, that this sum should lie given to us, but if the giving of it is to bring upon us tbe misfortunes I have de picted, is it not better to postpone it to some future day. Let us first anohor the ship of state firmly in the harbor of se curity, and be assured that our country will never forget to reward ber faithful Let us first unite the severed links of the Union, and when that Is done, we may safely talk of reward, but while tbat great work lies unfinished we prove our selvu false to the dying longings of those comrade snd brothers whose bones are resting under the sod of every battle field from the Potomao to the Savannah. You uk how this may be done 7 I an swer by your voices and Totu. Petition Congress, not only petition but demand it, it is your dear bought right to do to that the Union of the Statu be at once completed. Vote with that party whiob bears this motto upon their standard ; bo matter by what name they are known. and no longer shall we see the rights of the people trampled upon and despised, and the true interests of our country uo rifioed to the whims of party.
