Enrrons: - -Without preface I begin where I left oil' and resume 'my ramble In) Main street. ' droSsing from Mrs.Eamghman's West, I stop in front of what' fifty years ago was the grandest house in town. It is the residence of Mr. Benjamin Stiles, brother of Edward .J. of the Barrio name, and a Prominent character in Carlisle so ciety. I admire, as I have often clone be fore; the smooth brick in the wall, the clear plate glass in the rr udows, the spotless white marble of the steps whfch curve up to the door-way ; and the door itself with its handsomely worked panels and its polished knobis and tell-pull. Mr. Stiles himself, is standing in Trout loaning over the iron railing and talking to his wife's lap-dog which is frisking . below. (Phrenology bad not theu come' up bajgkems•new names for things, and to toll its that phido progpaitiveness was a Universal bump which, with or without children, would always find an object on which to assort itself.) Tho gable of the house and the rear, are in theirVay, just as pleasing as the front, a set back in the masonry, making a sunken pater, break up what ' , would otherwise have been the sameness of the one, while. a semi-circular curve gives to the wall of the other, the charm of a novel and symmetrical variety. (I can't say how that house would strike me now, but as I recollect it, it would company well with any three-storied brick house that I have ever seen. It is a counterpart of the old style Phila delphia houses which still stand on Third and Fourth streets, below Wal nut.) IVIr. Stiles continues to.cherrup" and talk to his dog: , He is in no burry. No note in bank requires his attention, nor does business of any ktild anywhere cause him to be moving. It is a fine summer morning and ho is dressed to suit the season ; his head bare and the flowing skirts of his seersucker waving in the wind. He is not'a tall man, nei ther is lie portly. llis dark hair begins slightly to recede from his forehead, but his somewhat florid face shows not a wrinkle of either time t i W cam Ills toil et, though it is early. in the day, is per fect; on the well-fluted ruffles of his shirt bosom rests the broad end of a mantut ribbon, which serves as his neck-tie. His waistcoat is of black; and white striiied silk with rolling collar, .and his pants fire of black Canton crape. Bilk stockings and pumps complete his out-fit, which, as a whole, Marks him as a perfect specimen of the par excelleacc -I;entlornan, as that genus was, .known' fifty years,ago. Mr. Stiles in his habits was not an anchorite. The ,good things .of !this world were not matters of indifferralco to him.

I have a near relative who, to this day, acknowleges his obligations to the doctor's skill and bears testimony iu"his 'own - person to the style of- his surgery. His scar shows that at that time the healing art and its resources, were in a backward Condition a 4 com pared with the present. Now, a, plain flesh-wound taken in time' - to heal by , the first intention, eau 'be managed so as. to show no subsequent sign of either stitch or needle. • The ' McCoskry family were re• markable for personal comliness. The I youngest son, survivor of three, was froth his - youth up a general favorite. He was sent to West Point, but not li- Icing, the military profession, came home and went to college. ' He Was tall, slen der and fair, as you may judge when I mention, that he was chosen for the part of a lady, in an amateur dramatic repre sentation which came off in the Barracks, and in which he acquitted himself with much eclat. His success however aid not lead him iutn the theatrical profes s sion. Ile did better by graduating and - studying - law ; - and - still - better by leaving the law and studying, divinity. Ho is now a high dignitary in the EPis-Ciffp-al church, widely knolwn and 'much lion *ored. lam not competent to ,speak of - him in his capacity of Bishop ; I only know him, and remember him as Capt. Sam, commander-of the Carlisle artillery in ordinary, and Adjutant of the battah lion on " high days and holidays." Fond as the Captain certainly was of soldiering—an amusement which at - that time was a passion in Carlisle—he was without a single one of ,I the vices which usually thereto belong. No profane or lewd word was ever heard to proceed from his mouth, nor intoxicating drink seen to enter therein ; nor was any ono addicted to these Vices,',tolerated while under his command. . My most lively recollections at this moment of Captainl.McCoskry, connect themselves with a grand ball, of which he was the Car yphe us and chief manager It was given at the 'house Ot Mr. Wonder Hell, in January 1830, and was ,considered a grand Success, though that is a phrase which had not then came into use. Captain McCoskry opened the ball, and led off in tho first cotillion, and when supper was announced—which it was at 12 o'elook, in.—he offered his arm to Mrs. Hamilton, of Middlesex, and led the way to the banquet-room. Patrick McCartney, an ihdispensible adjunct to all such assemblies, played the fid.: die and called out the figures. 'Bear with,me, grave reader, in those little details ; life is made up of little details. No picture is complete without. little do : tails, and besides the ,dotile which I am now recottnting,, are all important to my purpose; which is to show that' Cap tain McCosrliy was a very great favorite. Such he :certainly was, and deservedly, He was full of good qualities. With, malice toward none, and charity ?or all, he cultivated kindly relations with every body. His accomplishments, which were varied,- were admired without envy,, and, the successes in life, which have since followed him, (he was born to good luck)„ grudged to lihni t by no ono except rivals.

It was their business to do for Carlisle, in an external way, what Mrs. Shaw es sayed, though with less success, te do inwardly—they provided the young ladies with head furniture. Many s girl—and some old ones too for that mat ter—did the shill of kiss Ann and Miss Betsey send happy to eburch of a Sun day-morning. - - Above the Miss Kernans', but not next door, was Gaulagher's store, a dry goods and grdeory establishment, kept by Messrs.

In one of these )souses, long since' demolished, but which used to stand back from the front, was the office of Mr. John D.

In the autumn of .1828, at the mouth of Sherman's creek Mr. Mahon, aided by his manager, John Agnew of severe parental memory, com-, menced a project, the wisdom of which, has since been proved and its iniceess, though in other hands, become a matter t;Elastory lie gave to it the name of , his brother-in-law, and perhaps Wun cannon now, is ono of the most famous places on the banks of the Susquehanna. Long years after that, at one of Demp ster's concerts in Musical Fund Hall, Philadelphia, listening to the ballad "My boy Tammie," I heard, when the song was ended, .a voice at my-- ear saying*" John D. Mahon could beat that all hollow." • I turned and it was Dr. Joseph Speck, whom I had last seen at Clark's Ferry, in the Fall aforesaid, and who was looking just as ydung and fresh and handsome as ever he had done in his life. Where is the doctor now ? • At ono of the last times I heard from him he was in the ar9a serving Ids country as a surgeon, irtni to his honor be it added, serving the cause of luinnknity by looking after the Freed men. Passing Mr. Mahon's dike, Mr4l come o an old, ono-storied, red fratue build- big, the front of which is Gorgas's tin chop, and the back, Squire Delaney's oflije. Behind it stands one or two habitationsvvhfeh areoccupied.hy mem bers of the Gores and.Keoper's family. Next above comes a three-storied brick house, substantially built, an un profitable venture of Captain George Bendel, after his return from the lines in the war of 1812. I had occasion to be quite familiar - with that building. The down state's front was occupied as school room by Mr. John C.
