 for the night, agreeing to come again the next morning and give an honest account of their proceedings at home, so far as they
 related to the payment of the bill. Tho next morning Walker and Brown were ear-

JOHNNY BEEDLE AGAIN From the Portland Advertiser.
 OIrP AITAIITY CAuSLN-

Marm Peabody has got proper sight of relations, scattered about, here and there, and some of them hold their heads up putty high in the world There Is Mrs. Joel Gibbns of Portland, and her husband IS one of the first gentlemen there, for he IS q merchant and lives in d fine house and has made glorious spec in the lands, down east.
 She paid us visit this summer, and liked us so well that she staid fortnight; and l don't know how much longer she would have staid, if Ii hadn't been for northeast storm that come up and drove her away. She is a sort of cousin, in a round about way, of Marm Peabody's; being akin to the Smiths and Jordans, up about Umbagog. And they are cousins enough to come three mile out of their way every time they go to market to Portland, just to see how we do and put up with us, all night, bag and baggage.
 We'll, no matter how she came byit, Mrs. Gibbins is marm's cousin, and so by that means, cousin to the whole family. And that aint all,-she IS one of your first chop ladies. There's no mistake about It; she is tho top of the pot in Portland real super fine upper crust and up to all manner of gentility. I tell ye what, we had to mind our p's and as when she first come here, or we should disgraced ourselves directly. Hannah, my wife, was scart ont of years growth. at the first sight of her, all dressed out in her silks and satins, and short sleaVes as big as meal bags. It was something just about hair finer thar she ever see before. And even l was put up to all knew, to get along through the ceremonies. on the grand occasion. But am an old hand at your compliments, and give her some samples that she didn't expect to see. Good Lord just to sec me at the table setting up so prinn, and mincing and taking small mouthfuls. Hannah was like to spllt, and had to look tother way 10 save laughing right out. She declares took two bites al bean. But I minded well what ! was about, and didn't make a single slip.

SINGuLAR.-There have been many cir- =eamstances stated of oar revolution and tbe great men who projected and carried il. through, which, were they moi so well at- tested, would almost induce suspicion of their truth; but tho following striking coin cidence is one of which we do not reeollect ever before having seen a notice:
 Washington born Feb. p, 1732, innu- gnrated l7S9; term of service expired in the 66h year of his age.

 Monroe born April 3, l759, inaugirated 1877; term of service expired in the Goth year of his age.
 The above is list of five of the Presi- dents of the United States, Gall men of the reyoution.) who ended their terms of ser- vice in the 66th years of their agesl J. c. Adams term of service, had he been elect- ed a second time, would also have expired in the 66th year of his age.

 THE FAIRY BANK.

The Fairy Bank-the Fairy Bank Where myriads dance all the silvery night, And hold their revels at soft moonlight
 Till all their sweet dews be drank:
 Of 1t lies in the midst of parting streams, That steal away mid embowering trees, Whose leaflets play untouched by the breeze, And flicker with sunless gleams.
 For days the fays hang there their beds, And, waking, from their bright eyes throw Looks that gid the waters flow,
 That sWeeter music spreads.
 And at twilight, twilight you might see To the island bank the bubbles float On the dark brown stream; 'tis fairy boat,
 Each one with it's company.
 The queen is rowed in a lily's leaf The rowers are clad in silver sheen, With the rainbow's faintest hues between
 Oh! then let your stay be brief.
 The king in the flower of fairy bliss, Sleeps folded the while till the slender stem Bends to the wave, that like bright gem,
 Rises his feet to kiss. Oh, the Fairy Bank, the Fairy Isle, On these 1t glows with such rare light, . That the envious stars all twinkle white, And 1t beams with golden smile.
 Oh, hasten away--oh, hasten away, For thing of human woe and sin Ne'er may mix with their kith and kin,
 Pure as the morning ray.

Col. ETHAN ALLEN.--We have heard one anecdote of Ethan Allen, which we be- lieye has not yet been in print. Mr. 5. an attorney in Vermont, once received from some person in Boston. note Of hand for EGO 0agalnst Allen, for collection. It being mconyenient for him at that time to pay the note, 1t was sued. When the case came on for trial, Allen employed lawyer to get the action continued until he could raise money to settle the demand, and according ly the attorney, as the readiest means of accomplishing his object, determined to de- ny the genuineness of the signature. This would obIige the plaintiff 10 produce the witness 10 the note, who resided in Bos, ton, and could not be brought forward on the in- stant. The effect of the maneuvre would be 10 cause the plaintiff to postpone the tri- al till next term. When the cause was cal led, it happened that Allen was in remote part of the court house, and 10 his utter as- tonishment heard his lawyer gravely deny the signature of inc note. With long and rapid strides lie rushed through the crowd, and confronted the amazed limb of the law, rebuking him in voice of thunder. "Mr. -, did moi hire you to come here 10 lie; that is true note; signed ii; I'll swear to it. I want no shuffling; I want time.
 What employed you for was to gei this bu- siness put over to the next term; not to lie and iugqle about it.'' The result was, that tue poslponement of the claim was amica- bly, arranged between the two lawyers
