A Bsxintrci. FORM -When flood's "Bridge
of Sighs" came.,like a wailing spirit through
the wotld ol letters, human affection and
sympathy bent as a reed be lore its marvel- i
lous pathos. It was the richest goro in the
coronal of the poet, ami those who had been ,
wild with mirth over Ins dashes of unequal
led wi", were at once transferred to tho hu
mid realm of tear* by the pathetic imagery
of the "Bridge of Sigh*'" ft was lit and
right Hint Hood's memory should be embalm- 1
oil in an imitation of his own charming po
em, and how happily and exquisitely it has
been done below,, we need scarcely say.—
The lines ate Irom the pen of the linn. Sam
uel a son of Dr. Benjamin Rush, one
of the Signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and ate alike creditable to his ge
nius and the tender sensibilities of his heuti. j
So impressed have we been with their beau- '
ly that we have almost felt unwilling to see 1
litem placed in so ephemeral a niche, as the !
columns of a rural newspaper. Wo sincere-'
ly hope, however, they will eventually meet j
with that preservation which they mo honor- 1
ably entitled to receive, for we are sure they
arc scarcely less beautiful than those they so

\Y arm-hearted man;
For pathos or pleasaiify
First in ilio van :
Judge him censoriously,
Blame liim, defame him
Then, if you ran !

With pity's louoh —
Living so "slenderly,"
Giving so winch, —
Thoughts for man's preference.

Long in the dark,
And "rightlul decision,"

Sorrow and pain;
Misery lifting the latch of his dome—
Health and hopes fleeting,
Manfully meeting—
Peace nor security,
Naught kit hut purity

In lavliest dye,
Or think of her frailties
With gentlest sigh.
With scorning cold fashion
With b-aveet compassion,
Could tell of her hapless,
"Her evil behaviour,"
- And through rashness or guilt,
To forgiveness' hilt
Cast "ber sins on her Savior"—

1 Several men Its sntee, the Bank of New !
Brunswick was broken into ami over sevrn
i ly thousand dollars stolen from its vaults.
I The details of this audacious robbery have
already been published; and alir being
traced lor a long time, and through many pla- !
oes, its perpetrators have at last been cap
tured, and uro now awaiting trial before the [
i Court of Assiao* in Nova Scotia. They ate
j three in number, and their names are Phil
Stanley, Jack Rand and Bill Smith.
These three men apparently, uro none ol
your small, vulgar rascals. They display the
trophies of no less than sixteen memorable
aoliiavemcuia, ol which each of them boasts;
and whether tltey exaggerate tho importance
and recklessness ol these from a love ol boast
ing, we will not stop to enquire.
The leader of this trio is Pnil S anley. olios
I'lttl Stanford, who prides himself upon being
out! ol the most attftil villintis in Ohrisiendntii
110 was born in England, and is over 33 years
old. His manner is allnble mid quiet; yet he
is tho very devil in hardihood, and gtlted with
almost nnparalelled finesse. II > has the eye
of a lynx, the subtlety of a cat, the quick de
cision of a consummate general, and a force
of execution which sets all obstacles at defi
ance.
He lir-t became known on this continent
in tlto city o! Buffalo, whete in a single night
he committed three burg'itiic*. He was ar
rested lor the crime, tried, convicted ami sen
tenced to nine months ifiipiionmctii Unfor
tunately, his rentetiee a> soon after commu
ted, and, true to his instincts, he hastened in
deserve another.
This lellow is aristocratic in his trade. Ho
entrilnins a hearty contempt lor small rascal
i;ies, an l a-pires to great projects and ac
hievements. Scarcely had he got out ol pri
son, when he planned a grand enterprise
against the Milton Batik, of Dorchester; and
one li-.o morning Ihal institution missed >33,
000. Having succeeded in this great project,
he curried on his operations in Albany, Ro.
Chester, Buffalo and Springfield; sometimes
alone, sometimes with his associates. Bui
in Buffalo the bird was caged the second
time ; ibrGrntul Jury found a true bill ol in
dit'tiiitiiil, and ho was sentenced to the Au
burn Stale I'risott lor attulhe- period of nine
years and nine months.
lit the meantime l'iul had married the wi
dow of a Jew, who kept an üb-cure hotel in
lite city ol Albany- When he found liittisell
second time under the restraint of iron bars
and heavy locks, he sol Ins genius to work
to devi-o the means of recovering his liberty
He drew up a petition to the Governor ol the
Slate for his pardon, signed by ail lite employ
os of the prison, anil having counterfeited
tho signature ol the Judge, sent it on to Gov
ernor Seymour, His Excellency was en
snared by the trick ; he promptly sent on an
order for his roleae,-and in a few days Phil
found himself outside tint prison wafts. The
fraud was afterwards discovered, und officers
were dispatched to find the criminal, and af
ter a long and fruitless search, they listened
to die proposals ol his wife, who agreed to
discover tits whereabouts upon certain oondi
lions. The bargain being consummated,
Phil get of with two years and six months
confinement. This inadequate punishment
only whetted his instincts, and gave him new
faith itt his lucky star; and he soon afer
robbed the Windham county Bank of $53,-
OtlO. lie next turned tiis thnnplils upon C in
ada, and went to Montreal, where he com
muted many robberies with impunity—among
others one of a thousand dollars trout the of
fice of the Grand Trunk Railroad. A police
officer getting a cine to his proceedings back
ed him lo Buffalo, where he succeeded in
capturing him Ha was locked up two or
three mouths and then let off lor waul of suf
ficient evidence.
After getting rid of thi nnnoyancn thus
fortunately, ho went to New York, where bi
xvife was then living, Scarcely had he stepp
ed out of the cars when this adorable crea
ture demanded a fur mantilla. Could he re
fuse such a request to n loving angel who had
turned aside the poisoned arrows ol justice,
aimed Rl his devoted head 1 The tiling was
not to be thought of; Phil had not the Inuds,
be assured ho was not the man to spoil his
dignity by pilfering so petty a thing. To re
lieve himself of the embarrassment, he sig
nalized the tight cf his visit to the Metropo
lis by breaking into a store and stealing t>
quantity of rich 'ttrs, which lie thought could
not fail to satisfy the most extravagant wish
es of Iris beloved. But unfortunately for him,
he had not obtained the article ready made,
he had only taken the raw materials; and
though" the skins were magnificent, his wile
upbraided him in no gentle terms for litis
oversight—"They must do," saiJ Phil; "tliey
must be made up." They xve'e accordingly
sent to a furior, where, as luck would have
it, they were seen arid recognized by the law
ful owner and Phil was attested when he
called for the article.
"So it has often happened," philosophical
ly remarked poor Phil, on his way to the
Toombs ; "these cursed baubles of women
have often ruined great men." But he did
not content himself merely with giving ut
terance to the maxims of wisdom ; but while
on his way to that venerable penal insti'utioti
lie slipped from the officers, outstripped litem
in the race, escaped from the city, fled to
Michigan, robbed the Stat" bank ol $11,000;
went to Connecticut, plundered several jew
elry stores in that Slate, robbed an Indiana ex
change agent of a considerable sum, plun
dered several of the principal shops, and
joined Jack Rand and Bill Smith. The trio
next attempted H 0 r °b •" °' l ' oompany. By
means of falak keys the rascals got into tbe
company's safe, tiut to their chagrin ton ml
the coders empty. For two or three nights
they continued the experiment hut still found
no money. Enraged with his ill-success.
Pnil resolvy,! not to have nil this trouble lor
nothing. Raving caretully examined the
oomvatiy's hooks nttd acquainted himself
with their method of doing business, he
forged their name and personating one ol
their employee*, got it discounted and Ift
the city.—When the note became duo the
unfortunate employee whose name he had
assumed, was tried lor forgery and sentenced
to Sing Sing lor live years.
Thence the confederates went to Quebec.
Their exploits in that city having alarmed tho
people and waked up the vigilance ot the offi
cers, they left for Novo Scotia.
A few weeks after there arrival there, the
Hank robbery ol 575 000 was committed.—
In this stupendous affair. Pnil employed all
his devilish genius. Ills mattnernfproceed
ing I. sometimes slow, but always sure.—
Willi a hit of wax he took an impression of
the outside door look, and from this model
they constructed a key. Another night the
robbets entered the building, and took int
ptcssiotts of the locks of the drawers and
votilt", and mttde other keys as before, and
were now sure of success. It is asserted
I'lltl lias often devoted six months study to
tho plan ol an enterprise, and when it prom
ised largely, has not scrupled (o spend $3,000
in maturing it. At Auburn be made a key
for securing the gratest, and gave it to the
jailor, who sold the secret to a house in New
York. The. pat it patented, and have real
ized Urge profit* Ir-nn its sale.
Onlinatily, I'liil managed an affair and lot
his confederates execute it. Hut in Nova
Scotia I o departed (torn this prudent custom ;
and to iliis negligence he owes his detection.
Jack Rant', out* of his stccmnplices, was
born in New Hampshire, where ho exercised
the trade ol locksmith. He began hiseareer
ol crime with stealing SSOO. lor which ho sat-
Icred two years' Piiprn-ontnetii.
Alter the expiration ol Ins term, he figured
in lite robbery ol tho I'orl-monih Bank, and
received #73,01)0 as Ins shunt ol the spoil.—
lie sen a part ol it to his father, who, being
found woh some ol it in his possession was
arrested lor lint crime. Jack not altogether I .
forgetful of lite obligations ol a MUI, coiilo.-sed i
himself the gt.illy pally to tin) police. He I
was imprisoned, apd Ins lather set at liberty ; ,
lint the rascal made his escape in about lour |
months. At Concord he was arrested for!
larceny. He got out again; and in New Jer- I
H6V tins modern Jtwk Btispp#r.t commiunl U 1
henvv wharf robbery. Tliey caught anil itn- |
prisoned him, and for the third lime lie broke
jail. He was, however, recaptured in I'tiila- |
delpliia, and sunt hark to New Jersey, where 1
hit was acquitted in some unexplained man- '
tier.
Oisgnsle I with lite States, he went to
Canada with Stanley," and the two travelled |
up and down the Si. Lawrence. Steamboats, j
expresses, &e., were the theatre ol ilietr ope
rations. One lime tliey attempted to steal a
hex routjh'iiig £>uit.oi)t) in gold dust, but lad
ed. Phil was attested for lite attempt, but]
was discharged lor waul of competent evi- I
deuce.
The last of this diabolical trio is Rill Smith,
whom we regard as the servant, or rather J
a slave ol the oilier two. He does tlio most j
dangerous and servile work, and receives
the least pay.

and told lint keeper a neighbor of Itis had qp- ,

the best advantage, and he meant to do it
where he would bo best treated. He had

treat him about right. Willi the itiinosl sit- j

which was forthcoming;. "Now 1 will have j

promptly handed htm, leisurely lighted, and j
then throwing himself back, with his feel as
high as his head, lie commenced puffing
away like a Dutchman. "Now wtiatdo you

The approach of cold weather,' when no
much ol tlui time is spent within doors, re
mind* us that tlui disregard of ventilia
tion onuses more colds, rotiMimptionj and
disease generally than anybody but a phys
ician would suppose.
Tito process ol breathing, it is well
known, vitiates tlui atmosphere of confined
apartments. A light room, right feet high,
nt.d twelve by Inurteiyi feet septate, will
have its air poisoned in two hotirs by three
persons sitting in it. In a single hour, a
company ol twelve persons, in a parlor six
teen lent by twenty, and nine ieet high,
wilt render the atmosphere unhealthy, if
the doors are closed. iut, in the face of
tlie-n ■< lentiiic let Is, there are thousands
of household* in Philadelphia where,every
winter, it is the practice ol the lumilyjtosil
in heated apartments without any provision
lor ventilation.
Nature, even when doors and windows
am all closed, makes an effort to ventilate
to in i, by forcing Irioli air through lliS
ci.irks. Ilut it will not do to Imsl to these
c-pm inlly 01 sleepmg chamber <, where ven
til.iliou i peculiarly necessary. The open
ing ol a window, both ul lop and at bottom,
is one ol llio best methods ol ventilation *
I ut in order to avoid draughts, ii is i emissa
ry to din-rim ale between tirue< when the
tern; eraliire out of door m colder than
within, and when it is the reverse ; for the
in the tut ■.i e, the cold air enters at the
I ottom ol a window and pi "*es out at tlio
top, while 111 the other it entur.s at the top
and p.i • nut at tlui bottom. Ventilating
a loom, by leaving a door ajar, is governed
by the .Tine rules. Sudden colds which
cannot Lo accounted lor, often occur by
sleeping in draughts, which might have
been avuided by a hide practical knowl
edge.
It is indi-pensible, however, that the hit
man system should be accustomed to cur
rents ot air lo remain habitually in warm,
clo-o rooms, carefully protected from
draught--, is almost certain to came a cold
on .mil ■ out into the air If the person it
i.eatcd tin- liability to take coid is very
ie.it on t rit.-r, ./ a current. Bat where the
ui. In. iy i- exposed, t:•re is less danger
ti.ni wiicrir only a pomoti is. A late writer
has c on,.tied that any current ot air moving
v. i i a vi-. ol more than two feet per
o.ri, is perilous. Tins, therefore, rr.ay
