| SINGULAR ANECDoTE OF ETHAN ALLEN.
-Rivington, the tory printer, during the
American revolution, was very bitter in
his attacks on the rebels and MIR. Wash
ington, as he facetiously called the great
General. Nevertheless he thought prop
ef to remain in New York after the de-
parlure of the British troops, and it ere
ated great surprise when il was openly
declared, without any contradiction on
his part, that he had been throughout the
war spy for General Washington, and
had impaired much valuable information
to him, which he could not have obtain
ed excepting by violent abuse of the
Americans and their cause. He was
generally supposed 10 be man entirely
destitute of principle, though of courtly
manners and address. He had, after the
war. almost the monopoly of selling the
best British publications, Col. Ethan
Allen, powerful. man, brave patriot, a
hard swearer, and hard drinker, was so
enraged at Rivington that he swore he
would kill him, and Riviugton was lit
tie alarmed at the threat. Allen always
carried long sabre, and, after the peace,
down he went to Rivington's office, at
the corner of Pearl and Wall streets,
where John Hone used to keep his auc-
ton store. "Is your master at home?''
said Allen to the clerk ell go and see,
sir was the answer. So the clerk ran
up to Rivington private parlor, exclaim-
ing in great epidation--''Oh, sir, he's
really and truly come, and is waiting for
you down stairs. '-"Show him up" said
the editor, while he opened the leaf of a
table and placed some wine and glasses
upon it. Up went Allen, his long sabre
dragging up each step. Rivington met
him at the door with one of his politest
bows and one of his most expressive
smiles. ''Delighted to see you, my dear
sir. Pray take seat, and allow me to
pour you out glass Of wine" Allen
tossed Off the wine, looking daggers at
Rivingtop. ':Sir, J. come" "Not a
word, my dear sir, Oil business, until we
have finished our bottle, Try another
glass" Down went another glass. "tond
of Madeira, sir? Here, Jack, bring a bot
tie Of south-side--seven years old, great
favorite Of cur glorious Washington. .
Aliens eyes tninkled. and he tossed
down glass after glass of that really tine
wine, untii he forgot that Ae came to Kill
Rivington. He got quite boozy, and
they parted excellent friends. Riving-
ton lived III Cherry street, and the house
is still standing, and OCCUPIED by tenants
Most of the merchants and others OF good
society lived in that street.

THE APRIL FOOL.
BY KATE SUTHERLAND.

Nothing is so much enjoyed, by some mem
as practical joke and he greater the an
noyauce they can occasion, the greater their
delight. OF this class was MIR. Thomas
Bunting, who resided in village few miles
out New York. Bunting kept store for
the sale of almost every article known in do
mest'c and agricultural lie, from number
Ten needle up TO hoe harrow; and from a
mint stick up to q bsg Of Coffee. Conse.
iquendy, he was pretty well acquainted with
all tie towns people, who wer1, likewise,
pretty well acquainted with him.
AS Bunting was constantly playing off his
pranks upon one and anoiher, he only kept
himself free from enemies by his good TEN
per ond ability to sootbo he parties he some
lines irrilated beyond the point of endurance
The first of Aprl was never permitted to
come and 90 without being well improved by
the joke loving Thomas, II a customer sent
for pint Of brandy 90 that day, he would be
very apt to get fonr gills of vinegar, or, il for
a pound of sugar, half pound of New Or
leans mixed with an equal weight of silver
sand. That was a smart child who could
come into his store on the occasion, and leave
it without being the victim Of some trick. -
So, from morning till night Of the First day
Of April, the face of Thomas Bunting was
one broad grin. Full Of invention as to the
ways and means OF playing off tricks upon
Others, our merry fiend was exceedingly
wide awake TO any efforts at retaliation; and
it generally happened that most o! those who
sought to catch him, got tie laugh turned
upon themselves.
Two years ago, as the First of April ap
preached, Bunting began 10 think Of the sport
awaiting him, and TO cnsl his eyes over the
town TO see who was the most filing subject,
for coed jest,

10 himself; "a frst-rale fool. l'm tired Of
