Ethan Allen.

ETHAN ALLEN, was brigadier- general in the
war with Great Britain, was born in Salisbury,
Connecticut. While he was young, his parents
emigrated to Vermont. At the commencement
of the disturbance in this territory, about the
year ITO, he took most active part in favor
of the Green Mountain Boys, as the settlers
were then called in opposition to the govern
ment of New York. An act of outlawry against
him was passed by that State, and 500 guineas
were offered for his apprehension; but his party
was too numerous and faithful to permit him to
be disturbed by any apprehensions for his safety
IN all the struggles of the day he was successful;
and he not only proved valuable friend to
those whose cause he had espoused, but he was
humane and generous towards those with whom
he had to contend.
when called to take the field, be showed him
sell an able leader and an intrepid soldier
Inc news of the battle of Lexington deter
mined Colonel Allen to engage on the side of
his country, and inspired him with the desire of
demonstrating his attachment to liberty by some
bold exploit. While his mind was in this state
plan for taking Ticonderoga and Grown Point
by surprise, which was formed by several gen.
tlemen in Connecticut, was communicated to
hlm' and he readily engaged in the project

A Short Sarnon.

My friends sin m ikes the purtiest young man or woman in the W 'rld look uglv-ah. And l'll rell you how know-ah As l was coming up to the church today, saw some men in the road -ah.
 And thought one of them was the purties, young mln 1 ever saw in my life-ah. And, as l drew nigh unto them discovered that they were playing of marbles, and they all drew nigh unto the place they called taw, and they mArveled ah.
 And this purtv young man was the last to marvel ah. And when he marveed he jumped mp and Tapped his hands like rooster does his wings and says he, wish I may be d-d if han't fat-ab.
 And oh my friends, then thought that was the ugiest young man I ever saw in my life-ah And 1 spake uuto him thus, says I. Young man. this is not the way to salvation.'
 And says he, 'Od hoss, if you had been sali- vated as bad as I have you wouldn't want to hear talk of salvaton'
 And now my friends when that young man said that he was fat, he was lean as that hungry looking sister over thar, that's always prayin so plously when the hat is bein passed around ah
 And my friends, if that young man had not been blinded by sin he never could have mis- took me for an old hoss
