Anecdote of Charles 11.
A ~°-
Perfori of mean abilities, having
an ambition to be knighted, prevailed
upon some of the courtiers to solicit
that favour for him, from the king.
Charles, who could scarce ever refufe
any thing to a man he liked, particulars
if it was mentioned over a bottle, promised
it ; and the next day, when he came to
go through the ceremony,his conscious
ness of not deserving such an honour
made him kneel at too great a distance ;
upon which the king, feeing his embar
rassment, good-humouredly cried out,
“ Come, come, fir, be recollected ; 'tis
I, not you, have the greatest reason to
be ashamed in this business."

The late Lord Chefterfieki happened to be at
a route in France, where Voltaire was one of
the guests. Chefterfield seemed gazing about
the brilliant circle of the ladies; Voltaire ac
coited him, “ My Lord, I know yon are a
judge, which are more beautiful, the English
or the French ladies V —" Upon my word, re
plied his Lordlhip, with his usual presence
of mind, <' I am no connoisseur of paintings."
Some time after this Voltaire being in London,
happened to be at a nobleman's route with
Lord Chefterfield; a lady in company, prodi
giously painted, directed her whole difeourfe to
Voltaire,and entirely engrossed his conversation;
Chefterfield came up, tapped him on the shoul
der, faying " Sir, take care you are not capti
vated.'' "My Lord," replied the wit, "I
scorn to be taken by an English bottom under
French colours."
O
On the firft of October, about three in the
morning, Coutcau, a young man, a labourer, at
Hamonville, in the department of Vofgos, in
France, driving his horses to pasture, heard the
cries of a woman, who implored assistance in
the most plaintive accents. He ran, and per
ceived a large wolf holding a women under his
paws. Although he was unarmed, he threw
himfelf upon the animal, which got him under
in his turn. The widow Couteau ran to the
cries of her son, the animal purfucj her, and
got her down; Couteau again seized the wolf,
dragged him to the ground, caught hold of his
jaw, which be kept locked in his right hand,and
at the fame time he pressed his left hand thumb
with^ffich f° rce ' n hiseye, that the animal howl
eds|h agony. The mother finding herfclf
dife^aged, fiezed ^animal by the tail, which
ffieheld with'all to force to Th ground. The
fyoung Couteaty^d eighteen, flew to their
' relief, armed with a hatchet ; the firft blow
fell on the reins of the wolf, with little effe&.
Animated by the danger which awaited his
mother, he repeated his blows with such suc
cess that the furious animal soon expired
When he arrived at the evening of life, and
had to reflet on the work of his day, he ac
knowledged, that he had mi&aken true learn
ing, and that in which solid happiness confined,
and exclaimed thus against himfelf ;=-“ Oh! I
have loft a world of time ; time that most pre
cious thing in the world ! whereof, had 1 but
one year more, ic should be spent in David's
Psalms, and Paul's Epistles. Oh Sirs," laid he
to those about him, “ mind the world kfs, and
God more ; The fear of the Lord, that is wif.
dom; and to depart from evil, that is Under
standing."
