ETHAN ALLEN.

A good story is told of Col. Ethan AL
len whose services to his country 10 tho
times that tried mons souls" were
only equalled by his daring assertions
of the right of private opinion on the.

vine, pastor Of tho village church, called
one evening on the Colonel, and while
enjoying his true New England hospitali-
naturally turned TO church matters.
Quoth the minister, Colonel, how
does it happen that a man Of your exton-
sive influence and Information has nover
seen it to be your duty to Join our society?
You know we want laborers in tho vine
yard, especially such laborers as you.
Your example would tend greatly to
strengthen our band and fortify our hearts
against tho dire assaults Of the Evil Ono.

LIVING IN THE WHITE HoUsE.--A Wash
ington letter says MANY imagine that
the expenses of the White House are par.
TALLY. il not wholly, betrayed by the gov
ernmeut, aud that the large number OF
servants necessarily employed receive
their pay from the Public Treasury
Error. Although the President is ex-
pectsd TO give public receptions and ban
quets. entertainments to distinguished
visiters, and dinners to every political
friend who may come here. everything is
paid for out of the Presidents pocket, ex-
cepting few vegetable delics cies raised
in the garden. Until last year, no spr
preparation was made for fuel, either for
the barn-like rooms and saloons Of the
White House. or for the guard aud green
houses, to heat which it costs nearly &c.
Ooo-and the appropriations made las.
year was only 81, 900. leaving nearly ST.
600 for the President TO pay. So with
the servants. The only ones paid By The
government are door-keeper, who re-
ceives $500 per annum /; an assistant
doOr>keeper, who receives $3.50: and q
furnace>keeper. who receives 1865. AL
the other domestics required 10 keep this
extensive establishment in order are paid
by the President.

PoLITENEss IN MEN AND WOMEN

Lnent.
PoLITEN Ess IN MEN AND WOMEN.
A Cincinnati editor says that men arc
more polite than women, and proceeds"to
prove it in this wise
"Eot long since we had occasion to
ride short distance in one Of our city
omnibusses. 1t was after dark, and the
omnibus started off nearly filed with men.
Soon it stopped, and woman opeped
the door, instantly there was q move
among the men they crowded together
and seat was furnished the lady-after
proceeding square or two, another lady
wished to get in, an additional squeeze
was made, and she was accommodated
with seat. A similar application was
soon made, and a gentleman instantly
gave up his seat, and got on top. Ans
other soon followed, and another genHe-
man did likewise. Repeated instances
like this occurred, and the gentlemen by
crow ding together, holding market bas-
kets and children, accommodated every
lady applicant, till We counted inside
men, women aud chi!drsn-nearly twen~
ty persons. Then the omnibus began to
diminish men and children got out, and
tho omnibus was dccently filed with
women. there being but two men inside,
aad they at the further end, completely
blocked in by market baskets. And now
woman opened the door not lady
stirred. Can have seat ?" modesty
asked the lady applicant. II should like
to sec where you'd sit," said one lady.
Don't you see this bus is full ?" said ans
other. "You can't stand, sneeringly said
third. "I can walk" replied the
spunky applicant, aud slamming the door,
off she walked.
Now, had the omnibus been as full
of men as it was OF women, that lady
would have been furnished a seal with
out murmer. But it is not only in the
omnibus that men show their superior
politeness over women. In rainy day,
If we meet two men abreast on crossing
one instantly steps behind the other, aud
gives you passway. But if you meet
two ladies ten chances to one but you have
to step in the mud. In a crowded
church, men will squeeze together 10 ac<
commodate another man, but ladies will
spread themselves out, so that three or
four will eli pew, and not an inch will
they move to accommodate one OF their
own sex. So in railroad cars, and other
places where men and women congregate.
and where the true disposition is distince
lively shown. We state these as gener.
al cases. There are exceptions of course,
but we merely wish to draw attention 10
the general fact, that " bile mans rude
ness 10 a woman is SO rare as 10 attract
notice when it occurs, the rudeness Of a
woman towards a man, or towards auoth-
er woman. is so common as TO be eonsid-
cred q matter Of course. II among other
"Women's Rights" which some ladies
are now striving TO obtain, they will en-.
graft to be always courteous aud polite
to each other, we men will take care Of
ourselves, and them, too-God bless 'em.
With all their faults we love them still"
