L Z WIS, TIL Il ROB b b E X
A "REMINISCENCES.


LHwIs was the master-spirit of gang of
highway men, who lived by robbing travellers
and committing depredations upon residents,
chiefly between Chambersburgh and Bedford,
where they harbored in the forests of the noun
tains. They were a 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, they would
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 accomplces along
the road.
Lewis was o young man of handsome appear
,nce and agreeable address, and it was said he
supported his mother and sisters upon the fruits
OF his unlawful pursuit. His more immediate
associates were Conner and Connolly, who, at
the time Of which we speaking, kept among
the gorges of Sideling Hill, where, at dis
sance of several miles, from the public road,
they had erected a shanty, which was well sup
piled with provisions and othercomforts, ,whith
er Lewis, after remaining about Bedford and
Bloody Run as long as he could do SO 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 McConnelsburgh and the Crossings of
the Juniata will remember Reamer's tavern on
the eastern slope of the mountain and Nycum's
about eight miles, which formerly presented
little else to the eye than scrub oak thickets,
tnterspersed with rocks and fallen timber, with
mere and there a slight opening, through which
the cattle feeding during the summer had trod-
den maths which served the hunter as guide
and passage when following the game along
the mountain range in winter. 1t was, indeed,
a gloomy road, with nothing to break the mo-
notony, save, perhaps, occasionally the cawing
of crow as she hovered overhead, or the sud
den bound of a 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 ths saddle and walking by its side,
would long to gain the summit, where ne might
proceed moro speedily and with more comfort
70 himself and his animal.

LIGHT.

Tho following exquisite poem, by William Pitt
Pammer, was some years ago pronounced by one
Of the most eminent European critics to be the f.
nest production, of the same length, in our Ian
guago:-
From the quickened womb or the primal gloom,
The Sun rolled black and bare,
ill wove him vest fo- his Ethiop breast
Of the threads OF my golden hair;
And when the broad tent of the armament
Arose in its arg spars
I penciled the hue of its ma.chIess blue,
And spanglsd it round with stars
painted the flowers OF the Eden bowers,
And their leaves Of living green;
And mine were the dyes in the sinless eyes
OF Edens virgin queen;
And when the fend's art on her trustfol heart,
Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the silvery sphere of the frst-born tear,
To the trembling earth fell.
When the waves that burst DER the world accursed
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the AEk's lone few, the tried and true,
Came forth among the dead;
With the wond rous CLEANS of my bridal beams,
i bade their terror5 cease,
AZ l wrote on the roll of the storms dark SCROLL
Gods covenant OF peace.
Like a pail at rest on senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept;
Where shepherd swairs on the Bethlehem plains
Their lonely vigils kept
When flashed on their sight the heralds bright
OF Heavens redeeming plan,
As they ckanted tho morn of Savior born
Joy, joy to the outcast man.
Equal favor 1 show to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend
Zen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in dark
ness and tears
See my smile, the blest smile of friend;
Nay, the flower of tho waste by my love embraced
AS the rose in the garden of Kings
At the cErysalis bier of the worm I appear,
And, 10. the gay butterfly wings.
The desolate Morn, like a mourner forlorn,
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 whom the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover
And sinks to her balmy repose,
1 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 unslumbering eye.
When the cynosure star of the mariner
Is blotted from out the sky;
And guided by me tn rough the merciless sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes Wings
d;s composites, dark, 1ono, weltering bark
. To the haven home safely he brings.
I uaken the flowers in their dew-Ipangled bowers
Tho birds ia their chambers OF green,
And mountains and plain grow with beauty again,
AS they b2sk in their matinal sheen.
@. IL such the glad worth of my presence to earth,
Though htful and fleeting the while,
What glories must rest on the home of the blcst,
Ever bright With the Deity smile

A NAN OF BoNEs.-Here is a curious fact
for you. The flesh of living man once grew
into bone. 1t seems hard to believe, but
suppose it was so for in the museum at Dub
lin, ireland, there is, or was, the skeleton Of
one Clark, native of the city of Cork, whom
they call the Ossifed Man, one of the greatest
curiosties of nature. 1t is the carcass of a
man entirely ossided in his lifetime, living in
that condition for several years. Those who
knew him before this surprising alteration, af-
firm that he had been man Of great strength
and agility. He felt the first symptoms Of this
surprising change some time after a debauch; I;
by slow degrees, every part grew into a bony
substance, except his skin, eyes and intestines;
his joints settled in such manner that no lig-
ament had its proper operation; he could not
lie down or rise up without assistance. He
had at last no bend in his body, yet when he
was placed upright, like statue of stone, he
could stand, but could not move in the least.
His teeth were joined, and formed into one en-
tire bone; therefore hole was broken through
them to convey liquid substance for his nour.
ishment. The tongue lest ITS use, and his
sight left him, some time before he expired.

SOMETHING OF FAMILr.-A corresponding
of the Uroana Citizen writes from Bourbon
county, KY, about family as follows -
s'The old gentleman is native of Maryland,
and is now in his 10th year; was brought to the
State ofKy., when quite young, and has raised
his family in the above county, consisting of
six sons and three daughters
He then proceeded to describe tho family,
all Of whom are six feet in height, the tallest
being six feet liz inches, and the lowest "a
daughter) six feet 2 inches-the aggregate
height of the whole of them, eleven in num-
Der, being seventy feet. The father weighs
200 pounds, the mother 2s5, and the children
from $50 to 296 pounds. Their aggregate
weight is 2500 pounds. The writer adds:
'sThe family are all living except the young
est daughter, are all wealthy, and of the first
families of Kentucky. / must add, that seve-
raj of the grandchildren are over six and q
half feet, and still growing

A CONSPIRACY AGAINST Mr. BuCHiyAS.-A
Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier says ;--s'It is understood that Gener-
al Pierce and Judge Douglas, their mana
ging friends, will oppose the nomination of Mr..
Buchanan, on the ground that he is not unmis-
takeably committed to the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and that under the circum-
stances his election would be popular rebuke
to them. This circumstance will 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 lack of Mr.Hunter."
