WILD FRANKT RETURN.
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.

direction through the openA99r; 'its
about half a mile from hern to. his

The. youth, for a minute or two,
puffed the smoke from his mouth
very leisurely in silence. His man

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

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,'

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

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

soon as he got by bin:l4olf he swore

"' 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

He paused for a moment in thought—

he was really foet-sore, ,and extirmat

so he accepted his brother's offer.

.- 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. '
lies, and even 'felt remorse that, he
had not acted • more kindly to• Rich
ard and gone to his house. Oh, it
had been a sad mistake-of tbe farmer
that be did not teach his children to
love one another. It was a foolish
thing• that he'-prided himself on, of
governing his little flock well, when
1 sweet affection, 'gentle forbearance,
I and brotherly faith, were almost un
known among them. - -
The day - was now advanced, though
the heat poured'down with astrength
little less oppressive than at noon.—
Frank had accomplished - the 'greater 1
part of his journey ;he was within I
three miles of home. - The road here I
led over a high, tiresome. hill, - and he I
I determined to stop on the top of it
and rest himieff, as well as give the
I animal he rodea few minutes' breath.
i Ilow well - helnew the place I And
1 that mighty oak, - standing just ' out
side the fence On the very summit of
1 the hill, often had he reposed under
i its shade. It would be pleasant for a
few minutes to stretch his limbs there
again
. as of old, he thought of himself';
!'and he dismounted from the " - saddle
eadled-Black:Nell nt...tree
.--,
I - Mindful of the comforts' favor
ite, he took from his little bundle,
which he stripped behind him on the
mare's back, a piece of small, strong
cord four or' five yards in length, ,
which he tied to the bridle, and wound 1
and tied the other end for security,
round bia own wrist, then threwhig
himself at full lepgth 'upon the I
ground, Black Nell was at 'liberty to }
graze around him, with Out 'danger of 1
straying away.
It, was a calm scone, and a pleasant. I
There was 'no rude sound—hardly I
:even a chirping - insect--th - break `the
sleepy silence of the place. The at-
rricisph ere bad 'C, dim, hazy cast, - and I
was impregnated with overpowering
heat. • The`young man lay there min I.
-
ute after`minute, as time glided away
unnoticed,; for hp,was'very tited,iind
his repose was sweet 4 to : -him. Occa- 1
sionally he raised himself and cast a I•
listless look at the distant landscape, I
veiled as it was by the slight mist.— I
At, length his repose was without such ,
interruptions:” His eyastiloeed, and
at first they Opened languidly again I
at, intervals, after a while they:shut
altogether. Could it be that - he.slept.?
It was so; indeed. <<Yielding to the
drowsy influences about him,' and to
his prolonged weariness, he hid fal
len into - a deep, sound slumber <Thus
be lay ; and Black Nell, the original
cause of his departure from his home
--by a singular fatality the compan»
ion of his return--quetly cropped the
grass at his' sitte.
An hour nearly passed away, and
yet the' young man slept' on. The
light and heat were not glaring now ;
a change hail come over the aspect of
the scene, There were signs of one
of those sudden thunderstorms that
in our climate spring up and pries ov
er so quickly and' so terribly. Mass- .
se of vapor loomed up in the:horizon,
and a dark shadow settled on tile
Woods and fields. The leaves of the
ireat oak ruetled together over the
,''youth's head. Clouds flitted swiftly I
le the sky, like bodies of armed men I

fell now and then, while occasionally i
hearse mutterings of thunder sound

Was not aroused. Do! thus in the
world'you may See men steeped' in
lethargy while a mightier tempest
gathers _'over them. Even as the
floods are about to burst-as the warn
ing caution is sent" forth, they close
their'eyes, and dream idly, and snide 1

It was strange that the young man
did not awake. _ Perhaps his, ocean

crash--as ii the great axle was rent;
it seethed to `shiver the very central

hapless body of the sleeper behind

In the low, old-fashioned dwelling
of the farmer there was a large fami
ly group. The.. men and boys bad
gatherett under shelter at the ap.
preach of the storm ; and the subject
of their talk was the return of the
long absent son. The mother spoke
of him, too, and her eyes brightened
with pleasure as she spoke. She had
made all= the little domestics prepara
tions—cooked favorite dishes—and
arranged for him his own bed, in its
own old place. As the tempest was
at its fury they discussed the proba
bility of his getting soaked by it; and
the provident dame , had already se.
iected - some dry garments for a
change. But the rain was soon over,
and nature smiled again in her invig

as it was dripping in the'west. Drops
sparkled on the leaf-tips,—eoolness
and -clearness were in the air. -
The clattering of a horse's hoofs
came to the ears of, those who were
gathered there. It was on the other
aide of the house that the wagon road
led; and they opened the door and
rushed through the adjoining room to
the porch. What a sigh it was that

Eiteentioli of a Murderer/
On Friday last the $I inst., Charles
Lewis was exechted thu yard adz
joining the Court... Rouse of Mercer
County, 13. .i., ettjr Ctrfell ton,
in accordance viith the .sentence pass
ed upon him for the murder of Mr.;
James Rowland, jeweller, in Ptitice ,
ton tra the night of November 18;
1862.
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. In his trunk *no
feund a pocket handkerchief marked
"Chas. J. Ketcham!' It may- be I , e_
membered that a shirt marked With
the same name was tonna in a bloodY
condition in the attic closet Of the
house of Barden, the - day after the
Bond street tragedy. 'rhino who
know most about Lewis, believe the
handkerchief to have eome-frofti the
same place, and to have beltinged to
the same oWner. The theory -estab
lished on, the trial of Mrs. Canning_
ham,, that:Burdell Wee killed by a left.
handed' person, irks* reconcilable
with the left handedLewis.habits of tow --
He was seen' chopping wood:at Mill
stone with his left , hand, and the evi
dence on the coroner's inqueston the
body of Mr. Newland, showed the
blow to have been struck by it' left
handed man, on the presemption that
it was `dealt from behind and 'Lewis
