Between Warren and Chainbors, New York. Jac'b Ostrom, D'vid H. Anthony, Jos. Requa Anecdotes of CoL Ethan Allen. Ethan Allen was a man destined to the world as something uncommon and in a bigh degree interesting, lie was partial- ly eduoatod and obscurely brought up; yet no man was inore at ease in tho pol- ished ranks than he. Not that he at all conformed to their artificial rules of eti- quette ; but ho had observed the dictates of natural good sense and good humor. Hia bearing was in total defiance of fash- ion, and he looked and acted as if he thought it would be a condscensiou thus to trammel himself. It is well known that in-early life, in his- own country, he acquired a very great influence over his follow men, and led them on to the most daring aohieveuionts. He scorned to have posscssod all the elements of a hero; a devoted patriotism, a resolute aud daring mind, aud an excellent judg- ment. Ilia conduct as a partisan officer is well known iu this country, aud was of great service to the cause of liberty during our revolutionary struggle. Ho was taken prisoiicr aud carried to England, where liis excellent sense, and his shrewdness and wit, introduced him into the court re- gion. A friend of our earlier life, who was well acquainted with this earlier part of the history of this singular man, used to take great delight in tolling us some anecdotes of Col. Allen while a prisoner in Londuu. We have before mentioned the nrium-ss with which he resisted the attempts to bribe bin), and the caustic satire with wl.i -li he ruplitdto a uoble- ni'in who was ciniiiiissiniiid by the min- istry to u. uke hiiu. formal offers to join the British r.irw in America. The incident w.i-a-tii ri j •, aiiJ will bear a repc- U-,11. •j no i.u,iiiiHSM'iic( f uinon\ piut ? lumpl- in\ larsesses, proposed that if ho would is - pouso the cause of the King, ho might have a fee simple in half of the State of Vermont. \ I am a plain man,\ said Col. Allen iu reply, \and I have read but few books, hut I have seen in print, some- where, a circumstance that forcibly re- minds mo ot tin! prupusil of your lord- ship ; it is of a oertain character w(.u took a curtain other character up into au exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the eartL, and the glory thereof, and told him that if he would fall down aud worship him this should all be his; and the rascal,\ added he,'' didn't own afoot of them/ ' His interview with the King at Wind- sor is mentioned as highly interesting. His M-ijesty asked the stout-hearted mountaineer if they had any newspapers in America. \ But very few, and those arc but little read,\ was tho answer. \ How, then,\ asked the King, \ do the common people know of these grievances of which they complain ?\ \ As to that,' said he, \ I can tell your Majesty, that amongst a people who have felt the spirit of liberty, the news of oppression is car- ried by the birds of the air and the breezes of heaven.\ \That is totrfigu- rative an answer from a matter-of-fact man to a plain question,\ rcjuined the King. \Well to bo plain,\ answorcd the rebellious subject, \ among our 'peo- ple the tale of wrong is carried 1 from man to man, from neighborhood to neighbor- hood) with the speed- of electricity; my countrymen feel nothing else; ' out of the abundance of the heart the mouth spcaketh.' I will add, with great respect to your Majesty, that such a people can riot be put down with arsword.\ Tho King made a long pause, as if strongly impressed with the truth of his remark. At length, changing tho sub- ject, he asked Ool. Allen if he knew Dr- Franklin; and being answered in the af- firmative, inquired concerning his exper- royal family. They attended according- ly, and with an apparatus chiefly of his own invention, Dr. Franklin exhibited many of those simple and amusing ex- periments for which he was so noted, and at which tho royal children, oven those of a larger growth, were very much delighted\. In his playful,way, Dr. Franklin took occasion to convey instruction as to the properties of this astonishing fluid.— While the royal'habitation was thus in a most unkingly uproar tbo Premier was announced as in waiting. The King seemed for a moment disturbed. \ I forgot my appointment with tho minister,\ said he, \ but no matter, I will oschew business for once, and let . ent, in the same tone. \ I began to im- timc since and again went on, after leav- ing a few passengers. The depot, for s moment crowded with railroad agents and lookers-on, was soon deserted by all but two individuals. One of those was an old man dressed \Mr. Martin,\ retorted tho young | JUVKMICE WIT.—An old physician man, \let me bavoj nouo of your com- j was dilating in our hearing the other day, plaints, I beg. Get mo somo dinner and upon the propensity which a majority of afterwards you will drivo me to my nota- ry's.\ After having eatsl> a hearty meal, not- withstanding he found the meats insipid in the garb of a well-to-do farmer; tho anc l tli e witlos suul '. tl1 0 legatee, still ac- companied by Martin, re-entered tho car- riage and tho two again started off. \ I am not mistaken,\ observed Mr. other a young man of five and twenty, who seemed to be waiting for somo one to meet him. To this personage tho old man finally addressed himself. \ May I presume sir,\ said he, \ to inquire if you are ClemenS E.\ \ Yes my goodmau,\ replied the youth with a haughtiness of manner ; \ and I have no doubt you are Mr. Martin.'' \Well Mr. Martin,\ continued Clem.

Davit' store, Brock- North see how we are employed.\ Accordingly the minister was ushered in with little eeremouy, nud it was soon concluded that he should have a shock. Allen whispered to the Doctor to remem- ber how he had shocked us across tho wa- ter, and to give him a double charge. Whether it was designed on the hint of hia friend or not, was not ascertained; but the charge w:.s so powerful on the nerves of his lordship a.s to make/ him give way in tho knoes, at which all, es- pecially the princesses, were almost con- vulsed with mirth. Some of Col. Allen's happy retorts at the clubs and fashionable parties are still remembered and ofteu repeated. On one occasion he was clialieng'-l to a g!as3 of wine by the beautiful Duchess of Rutland, who seems to have been particularly pleas- ed with his independent manner. \ You must qualify your glass with a toast.\ The Varmotsitcr very uuaffecteiy ob- served that ho w.i- not i....\l to that sort of ceremony, and w is afraid ho might Si T Si8to!2r JWmm 'k\MfeS?\M would enleavor to give a sentiment. \ Oh,\ said the, \ never mind the sub. jeet—an)thing Mill d», so that it has no reason in it.\ \ Well,\ says ho, \ tli'.s maj d.i for a truth—not for a toast;\ and fixing bis eyes adoiiuglj on the iil-fameil court beauty, ho ] roCvtoVil—\ If anything eould make a d .V.o tiiiitor of a patriot' it would be C '•/ licrjt': if mch eyes as your kdydii) -.\ The Hunt •! • ilty v-ith nhich fl,i-< was spoken, together with its exact fitness j to tho occasion and peiwui, cau-oj it to bo long bailed m the \ beau nio-udo \ as an excellent good thing: and, although it had the r.flee.t of heightening for a mo- ment that beauty to which it was offered as a tribute, it is said tho fair Duchess of- ten afterwards buasted of tho compliment as far above all the empty homage sli? had received fr- m th_' glittering coxcouib- ry of the city. A lady once snecringly asked Col. Al- len in a lai\e as«'nihly, at which time the fashionable Lidioj of America prefer- red taking air. II\ peivclvel her diiff, and bluntly answered : \Whenever it becomes necessary to feed the geese and turkeys.\ \ What,\ inquired the lady, \do the women in your country descend to so me- nial employment 1\ Allen was always ruusid at any at- tempt to depreciate the fair olios of bis own country, and with a great deal of warmth, he replied : \ American women, Indies, have tho art of turning even amusements to ac- count. Many of these could take, up the subject of your Grace's family history, and toll you of the feats of valor and bursts of eloquence to which your lady- ship is probably indebted for your distin- guished name, most of which,- it is likely, would be as now to you as the art of rais- ing poultry.\ The sarcasm produced a deep blush in agino you intended to keep mc waiting. That would not have bom the best man- ner in which to have insinuated! yourself into good graces.\ The oil man iL^tead of reply in;:, h t his head fall upon his breast au J conduct- ing the new cunier towards a large old fashioned carriage, to which u rough hik- ing horae was harnessed. \ Here is your carriage sir,\ said Mar- tin. \ If you will be good enough to gc t in, I will have the honor of conducting you to the Hermitage.\ \ That my carriage !\ cried Clement. \ Why, I *hall be taken for a travelling peddler.\ Notwithstanding, as there was no means of avoiding it, ho took his seat beside the old man, but not without ex- pt-essiuus i.f disdain. In another moment the nnu had seize i the rains, and the hur.-o started on a clumsy trot. But few days before Mr. Clement E., who now put on so many grand airs, was a simple clerk in a grocery store iu Paris, and possessed the reputation uf '• '••« - .ll^'fcniHiruiigTitabuu'tthis sudden and radical transformation '. On the prcviuua day, while dusting the crockery under bis charge, a letter had ai rived for him by tho post, conveying to him the startling information that his uncle, of whom he had often heard as an eccentric and very- wealthy old man, but whom h j had nowr seen, had jn-t died hi Burgundy, lea\ing his nephtw, Ckininf, sole legatee of his estate, to the exclusion of many oilier heirs The pr'-pcriy, it was siated, yield- ed an ineome of twenty thousand francs a year. Tho h-tt-.-r was frnni a notary of the province, who des'nc.l hi:i to leave Paris immediately fur Juigny, the town which his undo had n.sid. d, where he would meet Mu-tin, an c-X'. coufidcr.tial servant of the defuuet, m.. b conducted from the railroad to tho Hermitage, the name which the deceased had given his chateau aud his estate, which constituted the man. Almost driven out of his senses by such an unexpected stroke of fortune, he hastened to obey the notary's directions, and on his arrival to Joigny, joined old Martin as wo hsVo soon. On jolted the queer vehicle, in which our hero had so contemptuously taken a place, until after a ride of several miles the occupant arrived at their destination. Martin offered the honors of the Hormi- tago to tbo new proprietor, called all the servants and introduced them to thr-ir future master, and then couducted the lat- ter to his apartments. \ This- was the sleeping apartment of your uncle,\ said Martin, as they entered a large room furnished in the old fashion- ed stylo. \ It WHS the very room he died in ton days ago.\ liut the nephew, instead of evincing any emotion upon being shown the cham- ber of his benefactor, threw upon all around a look of scorn, and cried ! \ Upon a word, I can't say I think much of the old- boy's taste, I never saw anything so frightfully ugly in my life.\ \Notwithstanding sir,\ replied Martin, Clement, after an hour's ride,\ we pa.ssej this spot this morning—is it the railroad depot 1 Do Wo take the ears V \ You alone will do sn,\ responded his companion, speaking very grave!,,, and in a manner which caused the young man to ticmble in spite of himself. \ I sir, am your uncle, and happily I am not dead. Having heard goud accounts of your conduct, I had resolved to make you heir to all I po.-M.ss ,: but bcfoie doing so, I wished to know whether you were really df-erung of geacr- s/y, and 1 had re- course to stratagem, which has thoroughly exposed your true character to me. G. e d bye, Mr. Clement. It.'tuin lo;'your shop, and remember that your arrogance and ingratitude havo lust you that which will never again bo placed within your reach.\ Tho old man then gave his foolish nephew a hundred francs to indemnify him for tho expenses of his trip, took leave of him at tho door of the depot and returned home. people display fur eating unripo fruit and- vegetables. Said he— \'There is not a vegetable growing in- our gardens that is not best when arrived* at maturity, and'most of th.'in are posi- tively injurious unless fully ripe. \ I know one thing that ain't' so good : vyhen it's ripe as when green,''interrupted' a liltlo boy, iu a very Confidential but mod- est manner. \ What's that 1\ sharply said tho phy- sician, vexed at ha\ing his principal dis- puted by a mcro boy. \A cucumber!\ responded tho lad. The doctor winked- at us with both eyes, but said nothing. ^ •«•>* —< — 05?\ A boy got bis grandfather's gun aud loaded it, hut was afraid to fire. He, however, liked tho fun of loading, and so put in another charge, but was still afraid to fire. He kept on chaining, but with- out firing, until he bad got six chergesiu the old piece. His grandmother, learn- ing liis timidity, smartly reproved him, and graspiug tlie old continental, dis. charged it. Tho recoil was tremendous^ throwing the old lady on her back.

Allen promise to visit him with, his countryman, Dr. Frank- liu, at his pataco in London. Some weeks after he was reminded of his promise by tho nobleman above mentioned, and an hour was fixed for the home bred phijoso- | plier of America to explain the mystories A, Lost Inheritance. The following incident is stated to havo pocurred 1 in Franco a fow months ago, aud is furnished to one of our leading papers by their Paris correspondent. The traiD from Paris to Lyons stopped at tho station \ It is the best there is here, and if you cannot content yourself, I do not really kuow where you will find other lodgings.\ \Mo live here! You don't imagine Tin such a donkey, I hope ! For us young follows, dy'o mind, Paris is the place ;, so I shall sell this old rookery at once, and be off.\ \ Soil the Hermitage, your uncle's fa- vorite place of residence ? Impossible. And we servants, who hoped to end our days under this roof—what will become of us?\ A Stoiy of Real Life. A little girl, whom people may have observed selling \ iolots around the New Yon; il-itel, offered a bunch the other day to a gentleman and lady who were staying at tho establishment as they were returning from a walk. \ I'louuo l>uv my _vioJets..sir ?\ .sai.l the, still scenied to lutv the dew up- :, it \ Please boy my \iolcts —only a sixpe:. a bunch.\ \ No ; go away, child, sail the Tardy rather harshly, \I don't want them.\ \ My dear,\ remarked tho gentlemau, mildly, you have spoken rather harshly to the poor girl, \see her eyes are filled- with tears.\ The lady looked around. Tho little \iolct girl, wlm-o eyes w.ire dark as the flowei'j she sold, was wi'epin? silently. In an instant Mr.- Y's warm southern blood gilshei out, and tuniiii-: baok she clasped the pniir child iu her arms and endeavored to assuage her grief. \ How very, very like our poor Alfrf 1. tbii child is,\ said Mrs. Y., looking at- tentively in the face of tho poor girl. Alfred was their only Sou, who had come to N< w York some five or six years ago, where he died of dissipation. Mr. Y., attracted by bis wife's excla- mation, examined the little girl atten- tively. \ There is a strong likeness,\ he re- plied. They questioned her. She had little to tell. Her mother and father were both dead. What was her name ! She was not certain, but her fa ther's name was Y . It was enough. The old gentleman and lady took the chiMbetwecn them iu a carriage, and straightway dr A'O to the house o f her grandmother, with whom she said sho lived. There they discovered that their only son had abso- lutely been mariii.il some time before his death, to a pretty sewing girl who did not long survive him, and who died leav- ing behind this one child. Mr, and Mrs. Y. were rich and childless. This little creature, ragged and uneducated, was more welcome to them than a fortune. Sho was instantly washed and dressed, and teachers had for hor. Her fortune changed as tho seasons changed. It had been winter with her a long time, and it was now May. I have no doubt but that in a fow years more, I shall have the pleasure of dancing with hor at some ball iu tho Fifth avenue.— M. Y. Paper.
