Singular Story.

IT will be remembered that while Kos
suth was in New York city, and stopping
at the Irving house, he received the visits
OF numerous persons of both sexes, who
deeply sympatLized with him and hi,
cause. Among the rest, there was one
day lady Of remarkably y sensitive con-
stltution, who came to the hotel, in com
pany with two or three other friends. full
Iy determined upon having IN interview,
with the illustrious Magyar, if it were pos
sble. After size arrived, she ascertained
that kossuth, nnrecognizcd by her, had
passed out Of the door at the very mo-
ment she entered, and so near her, in the
crowd, as to probably have touched her.
Tho lady, with her companions took
seat in the parlor, and, being ctAgrined
at the disappointment in her expectation
to see the object Of her ardent interest, it
may be naturally supposed that her mind
wandered forth after him in Thought
BE this as it may, however, after she had
sat there for some time, she became an.
parently insensible to the presence Of her
companions and to all things around her,
and afterwards rose upon her feet, assumed
majestic air, and commenced gesticuIa-
ting in the most graceful manner as if ad-
dressing a public assembly. Thus she
continued for long time, despite Of every
effort Of her friends to arouse her to a
state "f outer consciousness; and finally
she resumed her natural state suddenly
and spontaneously. It was afterwards
asccrtaiued that during the whole time
Of the lady's strange gesticulating move
ments, and coinciding with its beginning
and termination to a moment, Kossuth
was engaged in delivering a speech to
one Of the numerous congratulatory as
semblsges with which he was honored
while in New York.
Here was a psychological phenomenon
which, like all other effects, must certain.
ly have had an adequate and correspon-
ding canse; and We are totally at a loss
to conceive Of its cause, unless we refer it
to the law Of psychieal sympathy, which
we might illustrate by thousand other,
though perhaps for the most part less re-
markable cases. The strong attractive
tendency which the thoughts of the lady
had toward the Hungarian leader, doubt
less brought her into that intimate mag
netic union with him which enabled the
energies Of his mind, unconsciousIy to
himself to vibrate through her nervous
and muscular system, and cause her to
gesticulate coincidently with himself
This conclusion is farther established by
the fact that her gestures, as it was said
precisely rcsembled those of Kossuih; and
the respectability Of the lady is sseh as TO
preclude the suspicion that the scene was
merely feigned BY her, even supposing
such a thing to have been possibIe.--A-

Harsh condemning, fierce contcmning,

Let thy goodness be his ight.
