- - r.-fuen-M'.. . ****■_ ■<W»wwayw ni*ii»«-»- ■»tu Anecdote of <'<>!. Uthnii AH< 11. Col. Ethan Allen was a man distinguished to the world as something uncommon and in a high degree interesting. — lie was but partially educated and obscurely brought up; yet no man was more at ease in the polished ranks than he.— Not that he nt all cemfoimed to their artificial rules m etiquette: but he had obn rved the dictates of natural good seme and good humor. 111 bearing was in total defiance to fashion, mid lie looked and acted us if he thought L would be a condecension thus to tramim I himself. It is well known that in early life, in his oun country, he acquires an influence over bis !1 ■ ■. 'V met), 'I.J H I '.l 'll ill '( ’ I ee >-l daring achievements. He seemed to have possessed all the el< meats ot n hero, n devoted patriotism, a resolute and daring mind, and mi excellent judgment. His conduct as a partisan officer is well known in this country, and was of great service to the cause of liberty during our revolutionary struggle. He was taken piHoner and carried to England, where Lis excellent sense, his shrewdness and wit, introduced Jiim to the Court region. A friend of our earlier life, who was well acquainted with Lis part of the history of this singular man, used to take great delight in telling us some anecdotes of Col. Allen while a prisoner in London. We 1 hive befoie mentioned the firmness with which lie resisted the attempts to bribe him, and the ci.usiic satire with which he replied to a nobleman commissioned by the ministry to make him formal offers to join the British cause in America. The incident was a stirring one, and will bear a repetition. The Commissioner, amongst the tempting largesses, proposed that it he would espose the came of the King, he might have a fee simple in half the State of Vermont. ‘I urn n plain man,, said Col. 1 Allen in reply, ‘and I have'read but few ( books, but 1 have seen in j tint somewhere ' h circumstance that foicibly reminds me . of the proposal ofyoar lordship; it is of a certain character who took a certain other character into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the earth, and the glory thereof, and told him that if he would fall down [ and worship him, this should be all Lis; and the rascal,’ added he, ‘didn’t own a foot of them!’ His interview with the King at Wind- j sor is mentioned as highly interesting.— His majesty asked the stout-hearted mountaineer if they had any newspapers* in America ‘But very few, and those' are but little read,’ was the answer.— •How then,’ asked the king, ‘do the common people know of these grievances of! which they complain?’ ‘As to that,’said Le, ‘1 can tel! your majesty, that amongst * a people who Lave felt the spirit of liberty, the news of oppression is carried by; the birds of the air and the breezes of of heaven.’ ‘That is too figurative an-; swci from a matter-of fact man, to a plain I question,’ rejoioned the King. ,\Vcll, to be plain,’ answered the rebellious subject, ‘among our people the tale of wrong is i carried from man to man, fiom neighborhood, to neighborhood with the speed of < lectricity; my countrymen feel nothing else; ‘out of the abundance of the heart the mouth .‘peakelh.’ 1 will add, with great respect to your tn ijesty .that such a people cannotbe put down with the sword. Tiie King made a long pause, ns it strongly impressed wi'h the truth of his remarks. At length, changing the subject, Le asked Col. Allen if he knew Dr. Franklin; and being answered in the affirmative, inquired concerning his experiments in electricity, and expressed a curiosity to experience an electric shock.— The British sovereign seemed to take great pleasure in the conversation, which he kept up for mere than an hour, and nt length wide Colom 1 Allen promise to visit him with his countryman, Dr. Franklin, at Lis palace in London. Some weeks after he was reminded of Lis promise by the nobleman above mentioned, and an hour fixed for the home-bred pl.ilosphcr of America to explain the myteries of a new discovery in the science to the royal family. They attended ticcordinglr, and with apparatus chiefly nf bis own invention, Dr. Fraukiin < >. ibitetl many of those simple and amusing ixperiments for which Le was so noted, and at which the royal children, eyui tho-e of a 1 .rgei growth, were very much d< lighted. In Lis playful wi.y, Dr Franklin tool: occasion to convey instructions as to the properties of this asternng fluid—• A Rile the royal habimtion was thus in a most unkindly' uproar, the Premier was announced ns in waiting. The King h« i'rue<l fur a muni<.nt disturbed. ,1 for•»t mV apprntnr nt with (lit mini lt\'

• said he, ‘but no matter, I will eschew bus- ' incss for once, and let North see how we ‘ are employed.’ Accordingly the minis- - ter was ushered in with little ceremony, and it was soon concluded that be should - Lave a shock. Alk-n whispered to the ■ ’ Doctor to remember bow he had shocked • us across the waters, and to give him a ' double charge. Whetherit wasdesigned '■on the hint of his friend or not, ascertain- ' ed; but the charge was so powerful on ■ i!:c nerves of his lordship, as to make him ’I give way in his knees, at which all, espe- - I cially the princess were almost convulsed 1 j with mirth. Some of Col. Allen’s happy retorts at the clubs and fashionable parties arc still ' remembered and often repeated. On one ' occasion he was challenged to a glass of; wine Lv the beautiful Dutches of Rutland, ■ who seems to have been particularly I pleased with his independent manner. — ■ ‘You must qualify your glass with a toast. ’ The ‘Vc rmmiter’ very unaffectedly ob--erved that he was not used to that sort 1 of ceremony and was afraid he might give ! offence. If, however, the lady would be ; so good as io suggest a subject, Le would endeavor to give a sentiment. ‘Oh,’ said she, ‘never mind the subject) —anything will do, so that it has notreu-1 ■on in it.’ . ‘Wi ll,'say he, ‘this may do for a truth —nut fora toast;’ and, fixing his eyes j adoringly on the far-famed court beauty,) (be proceeded—' If anything could make a double traitor of a patriot, it would be > the witchcraft of such eyes as your lady- | Bl,i P’ s ‘’ j The blunt cincerity with which this | was spoken, together with its exact fitness |, . to the occasion and person, caused it to long hailed in the ‘heau monde’ as an ex-) 1 eellent good tiling; and, although it had ) the effect of heightening for amoment that ; ) beauty to which it was offered as a trib-1 ute, it is said the Dutches often after-) wards boasted of the compliment as far ; j above all the empty homage she had re- 1 , ceived from the glittering coxcombry of j the city. A lady once sneeringly asked Col. Allen, in a large assembly, at which time the fashionable 1 idies prefered taking air. He perceived her drift, and bluntly answered. ‘Whenever it becomes necessary to I f< ed the geese and turkeys.’ i ‘What,’ inquired the lady,’ ,do the) . n... women in your country descend to ) •o menial employments?’ Allen was always roused at any ati tempt to depreciate the fair ones of bis ; or. n country, and with a great deal of ; warmth he replied: ‘Arm rean women, ladies, have the art ■of tui'nintr c ven amusements t< account. Many of these could take op the subject iof your Grace’s family history, und tell ' you of the Kats of valor and bursts of eloquence to which your ladyship is pro-| bably indebted for your distinguished I name, most of which, it is likely, would ( ) be tfs new to you as the art of raising' poultry.’ The sarcasm produced a deep blush on : the face of the fair scoffer; but itprocur-) cd for the captive and his countrymen an indemnity against court ridiucle for the * future. I I ■ The wny to get on in the World. To get on in this world you must be con- ! tent to bealways stopping where you are: : to advance you must be stationary; to get) up, you must keep down; following rich-' • is like following wild geese, and you must ’ j crawl after both on your belly; the minute you nop up your head, off they go whistling before the wind, and you see ’ no more of them. If you haven’t the art '. of sticking by nature, you must acquire it 1 by art; put a eonple of pounds of birdlime I upon your office stool, and'sit down on it; gel a chain round your leg and tie yourself to your counter like a pair as shop s . scissors: nail yourself up against the wall r ofyour place of business like a weazel on II a barn door, or the sign of the spread ea--1 gh'l oi'. what will do best of all. marry an ” honest poorgirl without a penny, and ray ' life for yours if you don't do business.— • 'fever mind what your relatives say " 1 about guineas, talent, leaning, pushing, v enterprises, nnd such stuff; when they ■' come advising you for your good, stick e up to them for the loan of eagle, and you 1 will never see them on your side of the 'street again.
