ANECDOTE OF THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER.—A
French Paper relates the following anecdote from
Sedan. A great Sovereign went some time ago from
Paris to Sedan in a bumble travelling carriage. A
young peasant, who took it for a post-chaise, mount-
ed behind it some leagues from the town. The august
traveller stopped and questioned his travelling cow.
panion.—" Why have you mounted behind my car-
riage ?".-64 Sir, I wish to go to Sedan to see the
Emperor ALEXANDER arrive."—" And why do you
wish to see the Emperor?"—" Sir, my parents have
told me that he is good, and that he loves the French
much."—" Well, my friend, look at me well ; I
am the Emperor." The boy, confused, began to
weep, and after stammering out his excuses, alighted
to pursue his way on foot. The Emperor called him
back. '4 Remount where you were," said he with
much kindness, `• we will travel together." The
young peasant made no reply, but alighted at the
gate of the city, and the Emperor ordered him to
present himself at his hotel.—" Do you wish to go
to Russia ?" said the Emperor to him.—" With
pleasure," answered the boy. " Well, since Pro-
vidence has given you to me, I will take charge of
your lot." Tim, boy, in fact, set at neat day in the
suite of the Etnimor.
