He eary emigrated to Vermont. On receiving the news of the battle of Lexington, he enlisted all his energies on the side of his country. Ilia first exploit was the capture of Ticondeioga, May ICth, 1775. fhe expedition egainst this post was ex l peJiPgly hold iti its design and success ul in its execution. At the head of only eighty-three men he entered the fort at night, took the sentry prisoner, and with a drawn sword made his way into the insrtments of the commanding ofiicer, demanded the surrender of the fort. I'y wlipt authority do you demand it? xelain:ed Cspt. Bv La Place, starting Voni his slumbers. 'In "die name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress," thunder o.d Allen. This was too high authority to be re sisted and the lort was instantly surren' dered with all its munitions of war. Col. Allen was taken prisoner in en ex pedition against the Canadas, while at tempting to capture Montreal, in connec tioa with Col. Brown, lie was loaded with chains and sent to England, where he was imprisoned a short time, end at length taken back to his ceut.try snd ex changed for Col. Campbell, a Pritish oiFs cer, who had been taken prisoner by the Americans. .He died at Colchester, Vt., February 12, 1782. An i.-'.der.t is ifl'.-:d of L'.hsn Allen ir : "1 to Lit a cre'jrrrJ. w 1.11 3 ha Vt.3r1l.lj a-.sr t3 Ll.s "i.:l rl,s:ly c; f.ned to Ids room, 1 3 dl.ccv ered one day that the small pin or wire V..U.1 !' :-r.c lc; I ,t cf 1.1 1 ::: 1-cu Mvs b- ;cn. r.strlctir.g tho j-'.cc:s tilth bis t; . . . l.e wr..; c...

'How sol" said the captain, now re-1

flectlr.g that Allen wtt only .allowed to come on Ue-ctvtnl3 he hmsetl went down into his cebin to dine. Well, yoa. see," answered Allen, I wquld bs on my way up just as you would I 3 going IcZow. The csptaia was not t til pleased with this reply end he commenced a regular tirade of abuse egainstthe American people. - 'In a short time," taid the captain. 'all tb rebels trlll be ia the sania situa tion is - ourselD This was too much for Allen, and he determined to apply his newly acquired dexterity in unloosing his fetters to some purpose. Quickly raising his hands to his mouth, he apparently snapped asunder the pins and bolts with bis teeth, and hurling his fetters and hand-cuSs overboard he seized the astonished captain by the collar, and threw him headlong upon the deck, then turning to the anvighted crew, bs exclaimed in a voice of thunder: "If I am insulted again during this voyge' I'll sink the ship and swim ashore." This exploit so terrified the captain and crew that Allen was allowed to do pretty much m he pleased tho remainder of the passage. ' Infamous Outrage. The announcement thatllphralm Littlefield is about to exhibit a couple of wax figures in New York dressed up to repre sent Dr. Parkman and Prof. Webster, together with a plan ol the Boston Medical College, is one of those indecent outrages on the public lor which no common law nor ordinance can possibly provide. The following remarks from the Sunday Despatch are lull cf sound sense and right feeling: ' , "Our anxiety for the reputation of cur city, and the lair fame of its inhabitants was materially calmed when we discover ed that the whole audience consisted oJ some dozen or fifteen dead heads, each and every one cf whom, notw ithstanding their long familiarity with scenes of shame lessness, actully seemed mortified at the position in which they had so unwittingly placed themselves; and aa fast as an oppor tunity offered some one or mors of them eagerly seized ittomake themselves scarce so that long before Littlefield's prosy and driveling harangue was to have closed, he was left with no one but the ugly, Hull looking man who owns the traps, far his audience. The wax representatvs of Webster and Parkmanj both of whom are clad in suits cf shabby, ill-fitting, seeond-hsnd Chatham street looking garments, are without exception the vilest caricatures on humanity and the most atrocious libels on art which have ever come under o'.!r observation. And Littlefield is a purs specimen of the money-worshiping hangdog. We never recollect seeing so repulsive a specimen of humanity; and should he be placed in a crowd of a thousand (lends, we would at once choose him ss hcirg the lett calculated to j m firm the ccr.tenirtlLb vcik in tslach ho is now engaged. ,Tr.Acr.3cF 13 Jc:::; Fr a: zlzx.

BEAUTIES OF II13TOUY.

One cf the worst kings that ever r&igr.ed in England was King John, the brother cf King Kichard. lie was cowardly and silly, aad like most silly cowards, hs was cruel, lie robbed and murdered, and broke his promises. II a had tried to deprive his brother Etchari cf his kingdom; and he had plotted with the Emperor of Germany and tha King of France to detain King Ulchartl in priicn utitil deaiU. ' And ahhough his brcihcr had forgiven him for his treachery,, bad made peace him, and given him great estates, yet he continued to plot against Richard and his friends; his friends held out their castles against the King when he returned to England. . John him sell fled to France; but after a lime returned, and making submission to his broths r, was forgiven; Hichard saying to him, "Brother, I wish thou couldst as easily forg'it thy habit of rebelling against me, as I shall forget thy injuries towards me." CENIHOSITY Pafirius Caebo, the Roman Consul, being impeached as an accomplice ia the assassination of the second Af.icar.us, and having affronted one of his servants, he stole the box in which his master kept all hi3 papers, and carried it to Licinius Crassus, who was employed to prosecute the indictment. Crassus had conceived an implacable hatred to Fapirius, and these papers would have furnished him with ample mailer to gratify it; but the generous Roman had such an abhorrance of the treachery, that he sent back the slave in chains, and the box unopened, saying, "that he had rather let an ene my and a criminal escape unpunished, than destroy him by base and dishonor able means." COXSCIOXE. No man ever evaded Uia own conscience, but f.rst or last it was revenged upon him. The Caliph MorAaser having caused his lather to be put to death; noma tin; a after, looking over the rich furniture in the palace, and causing several pieces of tapestry to ba opened before him, thct ha m;ght examine the more exactly; among the rest, he mot with one which had tvihin it the figure of a very beautiful young man, mounted on a Persian horse, vith a diadem on his head, and a circle of Persian characters round himself and his horse. The caliph charmed vihh trie beauty of the tapestry, sent for a Persian who understood the ancient Persic, stud desired him to explain that inscription. The man read it, changed colur, end' af ter some hesitation, told the cidiph that was a Persic eong, and had nothing In it worth hearing, 'i he prince however, would not be put oil; hs readily perceifed there was somilhlr:g So 'it extraordinary; and therefore he command a I tha inter preter to give bh 1 the t:2 s". that . cf inimeJio'tly, cs ! j :.!

The eld man in compliance kh his directions, performed the duties cf acttier. Now give him his provender, and I'll go into the house.' Wslk in sir; take a seat. Looking around and seeing co one but the old caller, he inquired, 'Where is Mr. Fletciisrl' 4I am Mr. Fi?tcher,f His surprise and mortiilcatica cm Is better immagined than described; but the excellent Fletcher told him r.ctto distress himself, but let it ba a lesson for the future not to infer that lecsuse a man wears rusty clothes at home he must Le a hostler. John Adams, Hx-President cf the Unltsd States, be.'ng called upon for a contribution for Forreign missions said; "I have coihirg to give for that purpose; but that there are ia this vicinity six missisters,nt one cf whom will preach ia the 'ether's pulpit now I will give as much as any one else, tad more ia civilize these clergymen.' Dors, don't be lazy, r.or impudea, rcr slovenly. Bui be active, diligent, respectful aad neat. A nice, mcral, active, smart, intelhgent lad is always cc'Jced by men and women, and is always spoken well of. Then there is encther thirst quite imporfant-ahhough you may be intellectual naturally, you must be educated. School vours elves mind vour parents and guardians be temperate, and yen will live long and happy. An Irishman speaking to a Iriend cf Barnurn's benevclence, remarked thera is no more benevolence in hhn than there is in a town pump."
