As the sun, one August day some fifty years ago, had just passed the meridian, of country-town in the eastern section of Long-Island, a sin. gle traveller came up to the quaint, low-roofed village.tavern, opened its half door, and entered the common room. Dust covered the clothes.. of the wasfarer,_and_hitri - irtrw Ara - &-maist with sweat. He trod with a lagging, weary pace ; though his form and features told of an age no more than nineteen or twenty years. Over one shoulder was slung a sailor's' jacket, and in his hand he. 6ftretr... l Srofin bundle. Sitting down on,a rude bench, be told a female- who made her ap pe.arance' behind the bar, that he would: have a glass of brandy and sugar. He took off the liquor at a draught ;.after which he lit and began to smoke a eigar, - with which he sup. plied himself from his - pocket— stretching-out, one deg,• and leaning his elbow down on the ben6b, in the attitude of a man - who takes_ an indo. lent lounge. 'Do you know - one Richard - hall • • that-lives _somewhere here among you ?' said he. - • - is down the lane that turns off by that big locust tree,' an swered the -woman, pointing to the direction through the openA99r; 'its about half a mile from hern to. his house.'- The. youth, for a minute or two, puffed the smoke from his mouth very leisurely in silence. His man ner had 'an air of vacant selfsufficien cy, rather strange in one of so few wish to see Hall; be said, at 16figth. ''Here's a silver sixpence for any one Who'll carry a message to 'the bbys are all away. It's but a sh'ort walk, and your limbs are young,' replied the female, who was not ultogether pleased with the easy way of making himself at home, which marked her shabbing-looking custo mer::' That individual, however, seemed to give small attention to the hint, but, leaned and puffed his cigar smoke as leisurely as before. 'Unless,' continued the womah, catching a second glance at the six pence, 'unless old Joe is at the stable, as he's very likely to be. I'll go and find out ,for you. And, she pushed Open a, door at her pack, stepping through an adjoining room.into a yard, whenceher voice was the next moment heard calling the person she had mentioned, •in accents .by. no Means remarkable for their melody or softness. Her search was successful, She soon retarnedtwith him who was to act as Messenger—a little, withered, old. man, a hanger.on there, whose unshaven face told plainly enough the story, of his intemperate habits— those deeply seated habits, now too late to be uprooted--that would ere long)ay hiin in a drunkard's grave.— The.young man informed hira what the required service waa, and prom hated him the reward ae soon as he should return. - 'Tell Richard Hall that Em going to his father's house this afternoon If hsasks who it is that wishes him here say the person sent no name,' said the Stranger, sitting up from his indolent posture, as the feet of old Joe were about leaving the door stone, and_his bleared eyes turned to catch the last sentence of tike tniam4te. 'And yet, perlinpayou may as well,' added the youtWOOMnianing.mo ment With himself, 'you may tell him his brother Frank t iWild , Yrank r who wishes him tio- come: Therold man departed milhiszarrlnd, anth..l4 , who called hirnselPWild Franly..‘tosig,: ed his nearly sniAked 'cigar' out of the window, and fOlded his - arms in thought. No better plae than this, .prolgt bly, will occur to give. a brief account of some former ,events in the life.; of the young stranger resting and wait ing at the Fifteen. miles east of that inn laved a'' farmer nam ed Hall, a man OPgoodl•repute;• well off in the WorldOnd-headstf...a large family.: He vaLlond-I quired all his bo to labor in ;pro portiob tolheir;lge,—and his. right hind marywas his eldest son Rich ard. The.eldest son, an industrious, sober-faced young fellow, was invest.; ed by his father with the powers of second in command; and as strict and swift obedience was a prime ten et in the farreei;'s domestic govern ment, the children all quietly submit , ted to their brother's. sway—all , but one and that one wit Frank. The farmer's wife was a quiet woman, in rather tender health; and though for all her offaprina. she had a mother's tender love, Frank's kiss &itar seem ed sweetest to her lips. sho loved him more than - the rest—perhaps, as in a hundred dimilar instances, for his being so &IA 'at fault, and"so of ten blamed. In - truth, however, he seldom received more blame than he 'deserved,' for hot' was a capricious, high-tempered lad, and , up to all I kinds of mischief. From these traits he was known-in the neighborhood by the name of Wild Frank.- Amongthe farmer's- stock there was a fine young:blob - 4i Mare—a beau tiful creature, large .and 'graceful, with eyes like dark-hued jewels, and I her color' hat of the deep niglit. `.lt, being a custom of the farmer tO• let I I each of his boys something a bout the farm that they balled. their I I" ivri, and take dare of as such, Blaek Nell, for so the there was called, had ' somehow or other fallen `to Frank's share. He was Very proud of her, and thought as - much of her comfort as his own. The elder brother, fit:4- ever, saw fit to claim her himself, and ; several timed tweiefeise 'a privilege I notwithstanding what Fratik eonsid- ered his prerogative. On one of these occasions a hot dispate arose, and, af- I ter much angry . blood, it was mien:. ed to the farmer for` settlement: He , decided in favor of 'Richard, and ad ded a harsh lecture to his abet: son. The farmer Was really unjust ; and I Wild Frank's face paled with rage I and mortification. 'That furious tem- I ! per which he had ne'ver been taught to curb, now swelled like an-overfloW ing torrent. With . difficulty' estrain- I I.ing the exhibition of his, passions; as soon as he got by bin:l4olf he swore that not another sun should roll by and find hitn under that roof. In the ; • night he silently rose, arid, turned his hack on what; he thought an in hospitable home, in mood in which child should .neVer'leavethe paternal roof, bent his steps toward the city. "' It may be imaginened' that'alarm and grief pervaded the whole of the family, on discovering Frank's depar ture. And as week after week melt ed away and brought no tidings of bim, his poor mother's heart grew wearier and wearier. She spoke not much; but was evidently sick - in spir it, Nearly two` years had elapsed, about a week before,the inci dents at the commencement of this story, the farnier's family were joy fully surprised by receiving a letter from the long absent son. He had been to sea, and was then in New York, at which,_ port his. vessel *as just arrived. He >wrote it a gay strain ; appeared to have lost the an gry feeling, which caused his. flight froin home; said he heard in the city that Richard had married, and set tled several milea - from home, where he wished hitn good luck and happi ness. Wild Frank wound up his let ter, by promieing, as soon as he could get through the imperative business of his ship, to pay a visit to his home and native place. On Tuesday of the succeeding week, Ile . Said, he.-would be with them, Within half an hour - after the de parture of Old *Tee, the form of that ancient personage was seen slow ly wheeling round the locust-trees at the end of the lane, adcompanied by a stout young man in primitive home spun apparel. The meeting between Wild Frankand his brother Richard was hardly of that kind which gener• ally takes place bet Ween persons so closely related ; neither could it be called distant or cool. -Richard press ed his brother to'go With him - to the „farm-house, and refresh, and repose himself for some hours at •least, but Frank declined. 'They will all,expect me at home this afternoon,' be said, wrote to to th epi 1 would' be tliefe d 'But you must;b4 very. tired, Prank,' rejoined, the .other; 'won't you let some of us harness up and carry you.? Or if you be iitopped a mo ment and a trifling suffusion , spread over his face,, 'if yen. like, I'll put the saddle on. Black Nell—sbe"s here at my place.now, and you can ride home like a lord. Prank's face colored a little, too.-- He paused for a moment in thought— Abllcrtistr. • . , , . ~, he was really foet-sore, ,and extirmat ed with his Journey that ,ticifelay,— so he accepted his brother's offer. 'You know the speed of Nell as well as .1 - ,' said._ Richard ; 'l'll ~rairrial, when I bring her here you'll raiistie s ir in„a - s-good order as ever.' .„SO telling him-te kmuse himself for a 1(4 min utes airwell,as-he could, Richard , ter§ the tavern.', ' ' 5. ' - .- Could it be that Black Nell knel her ,old master! She neighed and rubbed her nose on his shoulder ;and as be, put his foot in, the ,etirrupapd rose i on,her back, it, was evident that they, were both, highly pleased with their meeting. Bidding his brother ifare,well, And not forgetting Old Jee„ . the young4nan setforth on - liii :jour ney for hie father's house. •As he left the village behind, and came upon the long, monotonous road before him, his mind begae to meditate on ,I the reception he should meet with.— ..11e thought on the circumstances, of his leaving home ; and he thought, too, on his course of life, how it was being frittered away and lost. Very gently influences mine over Wild Frank's mind then, for he yarned to show his parents that he was sorry for the trouble be had cost them...-. He blamed himself for his former fol.

At 9 o i elock in the Morning the City of Trenton was all excitement, caused by the marching of military , companies who were preparing Us guard the Court House _ during the execution of . Lewis, and the Strived in the town .of large , numbers of strangers from the , epuntry who had gone thither to see the hanging.— Thousands of people crowded the streets in front of the - building but without being able to . gratify their curiosity beyond the assurance from visitors from within that the murder er was banged dead: The house tops and chimneys in the neighbor hood of the Coon _lionise were cover ed by persons who commanded a View of the gallows. At 1.21 o'clock Sheriff Hutchkinson, came into the yard in the rear of the prison, accom panied by the prisoner, Lewis, and a special guard: The. culprit Was led under the gallows, and asked the Usu al question as to whether he wished to say anything before the execution of his sentence. He did not say a word. His last wordi had been ut tered in his cell, and those were of the most wicked character. The small lever at the foot of the gallows was moved, and the ponderous weight attached to the rope fell into a well beribath, and the culprit was drawn up about two feet from the ground. He made one terrible convulsive movement, then, straightening • bitiv self out, died in about three minntea. After banging for some time be . was taken down, put in a coffin and for warded to New York. Lewis, its he called himself, had grown gray in crime. It appears that about 25 years ago when he Was known by his own name, Charles NT. Simmons, he was engaged in a crack= et bakery, in .Roxbury, Massachu setts. He there accidentally got hfi left hand into a machine, and he car tied the mark left by the wound, to hie death. ..He. was understood to have been born in Manchester, New -career-in crime commenced, is not definitely „known, but he was ono of the most unmeasured villians that, ever lived. About 12 years ago, tie kept a hotel at. Hudson, N. Y., where a murder And robbery had been committed, and in order tit conceal the ctime, he burned down the building. lie was subsequently arrested, and kept in prison for 15 tnOnths pending the tri al on a" charcre of arson, when he eras acquitted. 3le then received the fu r sarance money amounting to $9,000. while he ;vas keeping the betel re ferred to, he was in the constant hab it of making raids into the country, robbing houses, and in order to fas ten suspicion upon poor people, Would throw bandies of worthless articles into their houses. His wife has not seen him for the last six. years. She resides in Brook lyn ; has one child a girl about eight or nide years of age. Abother child died while Lewis was undergoing a term of imprisonment in Massachu setts for a crime committed in fox bturY. Lewis was well known in see eral of the gambling haunts in Xeir York, and boasted of having "tstop ped the wind of many a haughty dev il who growled about losing his mon ey:" Me -was, according to his own story, well acquainted with Dr. liar fry Burdell and Mrs. Cunningham: was intorepany with Dr. Burdell on the evening of his murder, and had seen him with a "pile of money" in a •Bowery gambling house. About - that time Lewis went a-missing, and no more was seen of him until the 13th of June, 1862, just after his release from.the State Prison at Auburn, where he had served a terni of five years for committing a burglary in Albany. lie next turns up. about the time stated in New York, in pos session of $6,000 in $2O gold pieces, which he was anxious to convert in to Government bonds. He said he never had an accomplice in his crimes, his reason being that they always wanted to go halves, and were likely to "peach b, upon him. • In a recent conversation with one of his counsel; in the -hearing of one of the Deputy Sheriffs at Trenton, he admitted that heknew more a bout the murder of Dr. Burdell than he Would divulge.
