WIS, THE ROB b e X /.
A REMISISCENoE


LEWIS was the master-spirit of gang of
highway men. who lived by robbing travellers
and committing depredations upon residents,
chiefly between Chambershurgh and Bedford,
where they harbored in the forests of the noun
tains. They were terror to the community,
and western merchants who travelled on horse
back generally armed them selves when going
to the east, SO as to be prepared to repel an at
tack, and for greater security sometimes went
in companies. 1t was understood, or at least
believed, that some of Lewis band were sta
toned in Pittsburgh, where, by mixing in gen.
teel society, and being unsupported, theywould
inform themselves of the time when merchants
of that city and from parts farther west inten-
ded making their semi-annual trips to Phila-
delphia, and would then find means to convey
the intelligence to their accomplices along
the road. es
Lewiswas young man Of handsome appear
ance and agreeable address, and it was said he
supported hismother and sisters upon the fruits
of his unlawful pursuit. His more immediate
associates were Conner and Connolly, who, at
the time of which we are speaking, kept among
the gorges of Sideling Hill, where, at dis
tance of several miles, from the public road, /,
they had erected shanty, which was well sup
piled with provisions and other comforts ,whith-
er Lewis, after remaining about Bedford and
Bloody Run az long as he could do without
exciting suspicion, or until he had received
letters which he expected, would resort and
remain for days and weeks, concerting mea-
sures for robbing some unsuspeeting traveller
or for obtaining booty in some other way.
Persons who have travelled the turnpike be-
tween MeConnelsburgh aud the Crossings of
the Juniata will remember Reamer's tavern on
the eastern slope of the mountain and Nycum's
on the western, the intervening distance being
about eight miles, which formerly presented
little else to the eye than scrub oak thickets,
interspersed with rocks and fallen timber, with
here and there slight opening, through which
the cattle feeding during the summer had trcd-
den paths which served the hunter as guide
and passage when following the game along
the mountain range in winter. 1t was. indeed
sgloorny road, with nothing to break the mo-
notony, save, perhaps, occasionally the cawinp
OF crow as she hoyered overhead or the sud-
den bound of deer aroused from his lair by
the noise Of approaching footsteps-and the
lonely traveller, as he wended his way slowly
up the steep ascent, now urging his jaded steed
TO greater effort, and now relieving It by leap
ing from the saddle and walking by its side,
would long to gain the summit, where he might
proceed more speedily and with moro comfort

LIGHT.

The following exquisite poem, by William Pitt
PaInmer, some years ago pronounced by one
OF tho most eminent European critics to be the f.
nest production Of the same length, in our Ian
guage:-
Prom the quicSened womo of the primal gloom,
The sun rolled black and bare,
Till wove him vest for his Ethiop breast
OF the threads of my golden hair;
And when the broad tent of the armament
Arose in its airy spars, ESFa
penciled the hue of its matchless blue,
And spangisd it round with stars.
I painted the flowers of the Eden bowers
And their leaves of living green
And mine were the dyes in the sinless eyes
OF Eden's virgin queen
And when the fend's art on her trustful heart,
Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the silvery sphere of the frst-born tear,
To the trembling earth fell
Whsn the waves that burst DER the world accursed
Their work Of wrath had sped,
And tho Arks lone few, the tried and true,
Game forth among the dead;
With the wond rous CLEANS of my bridal beams,
babe their terrors cease,
As wrote on the roll Of the storms dark scroll,
Gods covenant of peace.
Like pail at rest on senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept;
Where shepherd swains on the Bethlehem plains
Their lonely Yigils kept
When flashed on their sight the heralds bright
VI Heaven redeemlng plan,
As they chanted the morn OF q Savior born
Joy, joy to the outcast man.
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend
Fen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in dark
and tears,
See my smile, the blest smile of friend;
Nay, the flower of the waste by my love is embraced
As the rose IN the garden of Kings;
at the cbrysalis bier of the worm | appear,
And, 10. the gay butterfly wings.
The desolate Morn, like mourner forloru,
Conceals all the pride of her charms,
Till bid the bright hours chase Night from her
flowers,
And lead the young Day to her arms;
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover,
And sinks to her balny repose,
l wrap the soft rest by the zophyr famed west,
In curtains of amber and rose.
From my sentinel steep by the night-brooded deep,
gaze with unslumb mbering eye,
When the cynosure star of the mariner
Is blotted from out the sky;
And guided by me through the merciless sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes wings.
His com passless, dark, lone, weltering bark
To the haven home sa.ely he brings.
waksn the flowers in their dew-spangled bowers,
The birds Ia their chambers Of green,
And mountains and plain grow with beauty again,
As they bask in their matinal sheen.
o, if such the glad worth of my presence to earth,
Though ftful and feetng the while,
What Slories must rest the home of the blest
Ever bright tith the Deity,s smile

A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MR. BUoHASAs.--A
Washington correspondent of the New Y orll
Courier says sit is understood that Gener-
al Pierce and Judge Douglas, or their mana
ging friends, will oppose the nomination of Mr..
Buchanan, on the ground that he is not unmis-
talSeably committed to the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and that under the circum-
stances his election would be a popularre huke
to them. This circumstances viii diminish the
chances of his nomination, and it is believed
here, among the politicians of the classes
have named, that these two prominent aspi-
rants will combine upon Southern candi-
date, if neither of them shall be able to secure
the nomination. In that event, the question
will be found reduced to choice between
Hunter and Rusk. Mr.. Wise is a capital, al
most irresistible stumper, and were the strug-
gle confined to Virginia, would distance all
competition. But he cannot stump for the
Presidency, and predict tina. his energy will
be found no match for the luck of Mr.. Hunter

CLOSING SCENE OF A LEGlsLATURE--The
Legislature of Nebraska Territory adjourned
ON tho 25th Fubruary, after repeating a law
giving women the right to vote, which they
had passed the day before. A letter from @
maha City gives the following account OF their
adjournment: ~.
ssOns member called for music, another for
drinks all round = some shouted go it boots,
sgo it, such is death, slet me go TO the Gov
ernor and tell him he must not fool with us
any longer = Il move committee be appoint
ed to inquire after the dignity of the House !
Il move the gentleman from Otoe be declared
a brick; sMr. Speaker, will game of poker
be in order p Il move we take a recess for fif-
teen minutes to drink > 81 move the medical
members be requested to take the pains (panes)
from tho windows, and extract the Tooth of
Time &c. One member set the clock going
at railroad speed to bring the hour of adjourn
ment around. Members were mixed up with
outsiders inside the bar, some talking, some
smoking, some walking, some perched on the
tops of the desks and chairs, and everybody
enjoying himself about as nature Dictated
The House had more the appearance of q pub
lie bar room than hall of legislation. Mem
bcrs were called on for speeches.
About midnight the Council sent in word
they were ready to adjourn. Resolutions COM
mending the clerks and officers of the House,
down to fireman, were passed ). but not word
was passed for the Speaker, whom 4 few mem
bers took occasion to abuse in bitter and un-
becoming language. In the midst Of confu-
sion, worse confounded, the House adjourned.
WELL SA1D.-The Indian in his native con-
dition, is no fool, as the following anecdote re-
lated by Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore ssRepublican" attests =
We met Col. Stambourg to-day in the ro-
tunda of the Capitol, and while We were look
ing at the carved representations over the
door-ways of the rotunda, the veteran Indian
agent told us that in 1880, with delegation
of the Menominee Indians, he visited the Cap
ito, and explained the nature aud design Of
the stone groups in the rotunda, when the
chief, :sGrizzly Bear" turned TO the eastern
doorway, over which there is representation
of the landing of the Pilgrims, and said,
''there, Ingen give white man corn - and to
the north representing Pcnn's treaty, '.tbore
Ingen give um land ~ and to the West, where
Pocahontas is seen saving the life of Captain
Smith, ssthere Ingen save nm life'-and, last
ly, to the south, where the hardy pioneer, Dan
iel Boone, is seen plunging his knife into the
breast of one red man, while his foot is placed
on the dead body of another, sand there,
white man kill Ingen.''

SALT FOR WnEAr-Theodore Perry says, in
the Prairie Farmer, that he sowed one and
half bushels of salt per acre upon one half of a
ten acre field, just after seeding it with Spring
wheat, and the result was that the salted portion
was ready for the sickle five days, earlier than
the unsalted portion, and not particle of rust
scab or smut could be found, and the increase of
crop he estimated at five bushels per acre.
