ANECDOTE OF THE REVOLUTION
Written by Lady eighty years of agel


About fifteen years ago, there appeared in
one Of our Boston papers an article giving an
account of a woman, who, in the middle of the
night, in l775, guided John Hancock, Samuel
Adams, and Paul Revere, through the woods of
Lexington, a distance of three or four miles, to
protect them from pursuit of the British. A
brief memoir of the woman referred to, Mrs.
Vallette, was begun many years ago, which has
since been finished, and is now in the hands of
grandson Of Mr.. Milliken, containing many
little items and facts known only to those who
were in Boston when the British were in DOS.
session of the place.
: DE-. Snow, in his interesting History of Bos-
ton, after speaking of the troubles of the town,
says:
"The solemnity of these sad times was
heightened by the occurrence of fire, on
Wednesday, August 10th. 1t broke out, be-
tween 10 and IL P. NJ, in a large brick dwell
ing-house belonging to Mr.. Milliken and Mrs.
Campbell, in Fish street, FIVE or six doors north
of Mountfort's corner, at the foot of North
square. The lower part of the house was in
flames before the distressed tenants were ap-
prised Of it. Several escaped out of the win.
dows, some naked and much burnt, and five
others persisted in the flames, three women and
two small children. The house was entirely
consumed, with part of bake,house. The in.
habitants speedily assembling, with their usual
dexterous management, happily put stop to
the further progress of the flames. Earl Percy
politely offered the services of some soldiers
who could be depended upon, but was informed
that the regulations of the town rendered their
assistance unnecessary"
We give the following details of the fire, as
they have been told to us and repeated to others,
we might almost say, thousands of times.
Mr.. Milliken, a Scotchman by birth, and
warm Royalist, was considered Tory, and, as
he owned farm and part of mill at the East
ward, he determined to leave Boston. Previous
To his departure, he let part of his house to q
Mrs. Murphy, the wife of Capt. Murphy, then
at sea and in the care of Mrs. Vallette, his
poor lame daughter with broken back, he left
her two little sisters. Mrs. Vallette was then
twenty years old, and had been married two or
three weeks her husband was then at sea-
Capt. Murphy arrived home on the 10th of
August, ITO, and his wife invited some of her
friends to supper, in the evening. The supper
was cooked in q room where there had been no
fire for many years, if ever there was proba-
bly, fault in the chimney. Mrs. Vallette had
some of her acquaintance to drink tea and pass
the evening, which detained her up later than
usual She had retired to her chamber, was
undressed, and sat by the side of the bed, taking
off her stockings, when she heard the cry Of
" fire 4" Immediately under her window I" get
up, get up, your house is in flames" Raising
her eyes, she saw the light bursting into her

HABITS OF DE QUINCY THE OPIUM EATER
1t Is related, as an instance OF De Ouincey's
careiessness In money matters, that, having
oeen once arrested for debt of twenty pounds
IN Edinburgh, he was dragged to Jail, where he
remained for two weeks. During the period of
his incarceration, his daughter frequently visit
ed BIN, and one day brought him new waist.
coat, the one he then wore being somewhat
shabby. After De Quincy had taken off his
old vest, his daughter, carelessly examining the
pockets, discovered bank note for thirty
pounds, OF the existence of which her father
mad no knowledge whatever, and with which. of
course, the twenty-pound debt was instantly
discharged. De Quincy, when he writes. filings
each sheet, as soon as finished, over his sbonI.
der, and never sees them again. His daughters
gather up the scattered leaves, arrange and
correct them, and hawk them among the mao.
szine editors for sale. For a long time. De
Qdincey's nervousness from opium was 40
great that he was obliged to walk fourteen
miles day in order to procure two hours'
sleep at night. The way in which this was &C.
complished was curious. The dreamer had a
mile measured on neighboring road, and at
one extremity placed heap of seven stones.
when the journey was to commence, De Ouin.
cey took up stone and carried it to the other
end of the mile, then returned for another nm.
til the pile was exhausted. This necessity of
carrying the stones prevented De Ouincey from
forgetting the number of miles he had walked,
which would otherwise be highly probable.

Tie FIRST MARRIAGE OF HlNDoo
WDow.-The East Indian newspapers,
and the European newspapers, are dis
cussing what they call one of the most
significant pheno menons of the century,"
which wonderful event is nothing more
nor less than the first marriage of Hin
doc widow. We all know that .Hindoo
widows used 10 be burnt upon the funer-
al pyres, or buried alive in the graves Of
their dead husbands; and even after
British rule had put an end to those inhu.
man customs, the widows were forbidden
even to marry again, and were kept in a
state of everlasting moping and penance
for having survived their husbands. In
fact, the civil and sacerdotal law of Il in.
dostan has always planted both feet
plumply and mercilessly upon widows
In other countries widows have been
feared, adored, and married but in Hin.
dostan they have only been snubbed, and
buried, and burned. But a widow has
at length arisen in Hindostan who poss
esses the spirit and courage and fascina
tions which distinguish her sisterhood in
other climes, and with an audacity whicE
has thrown the old logies of the Orien
into spasms of horror, she has bagget
her second vic-we mean her secont
husband. The wedding was celebrated
with much pomp and ceremony. The
bridegroom is described as a " Koolin o
the Koolins," which means one of tn,
tp'loppest "swells" of the Gangcs ;.ant
the bride is an Houri of immense prom
ise still, although she has already reach
ed the advanced age of twelve years
Let feminine and Young America hid
its quenched head in shame, before til
prowess Of This adolescent Hindoo widow
who has emancipaed her race and consti
tuted herself hinge on which one of the
worlds epochs shall forever swing.

The Deceiver Punished.

A Russian general obtained possession
of the beautiful daughter Of Polish no.
bleman, near Warsaw; by means Of @
sham marriage. Two years aflerward
the general became tired Of his wife. and
desired her 10 return TO her fathers
house, informing her how she had been
deceived. She at first thought he was
testing, but her husband soon convinced
her Of the truth, and shut the door Of his
house upon her. Her father brought an
action against the general, but of course
lost it in all the courts, till at length the
matter came before the Emperor, who
decided ''As the general is not really
married to his wife, the marriage is null
and void, but as the wife has been most
scandalously used and imposed upon, he
is dismissed. with the loss of his salary,
and Office, without having any claim TO
another appointment; his whole prop
erty is given to the lady whom lie had SO
.wan,only deceived, and he is not permit.
ted to marry again."

Broken-Down Gentility.

There is no such lumber in the world
as broken-down gentility. Always out
of place, never fl, for anything. A de-
cayed gentleman, as he is called, is a
complete nuisance. We mean to man
of the world-a man of business. For
you see there's always impertinence in
him, He always seems to be thinking OF
what he has been-you cant get him to
think of what he really is. He becomes
your clerk, we'll say. Well, you tell
him TO call hackney coach; and he ses
about ii in manner that impudeutly says
to you, " Once kept my own caraiage"
You order him 10 copy letter, or what
not; and he draws down the corner of his
mouth. TO let you know that--.".s Once in
his life he used to write cheques !"
Now, all this is very unpleasant. In the
first place, one dosen't like impertinence
from anybody; and in the next if one
happens to be in a melancholy thinking
mood, he doesn'tlike to be reminded, by
the bit of decay around him. of what, for
