A X.ITTXK wife and cow Wanted.—The fol
lowing sublime poetic effusion is from the Mid
dlesex Gazette, printed at Middletown, Connec
ticut:
1 WOULD WISH,
If Heaven the grateful liberty would give,
That 1 might choose my method how to live;
Near some fair town I’d have a small retreat,
Built uniformly, but not idly great:
A little garden just before the door,
Aud one behiud more ample than before ;
A little field, wherein a cow might stay ;
A little wife, with temper kind and f rce;
Courteous to all, but most of all to me.
One that would choose but little for to roam,
Because a woman looKslhe best at home.
Business I’d have sufficient for to find
Employment for the body and the miud.
Open to all should be mv purse and door.
No one more welcome than the old and poor.
From the Boston Transcript.
THE LITTLE MAN IN GREEN-
[BT PEREGRINE PARAGRAPH, ESQ.]
Lives there a man 'hat lias not sceu
The dapper little man iu green,
With shirt superlatively clean,
Cravat like snow,
11 is hat, his band kerchief, his hair,
Neat to the very tip ol care;—
The emerald beau ?
Had 1 green envy’s fabled ink,
I’d draw bis picture in a ink,
So like that be should from it shrink,
As from a glass :
But since I’ve only common gall,
Ami that not very black withal,
I'll let it pass.
Thou rccrenul son offathor Adam,
And Eve,—that apple-eating madam.
When in their fig leaf robes they clad 'era,-
They fled from sight ;
But thou, iu spite of all thy green
Braving the gaze of men art seen
In broad daylight, */ •••:*
Shame on thee, man ! is it not known,
Even mother Nature doll's her gown ;
Wean green iu spring; in autumn, brown.
In winter,—while ?
Yet thou art ever green ;—In storm.
Incairn, cioud.suushiue, cold aud warm,
Morn, noon and night!
Bethink thee ;—when old time the mower,
Shall smite thee in an evil hour,
And nip thy manhood iu its flower,
Wilt thou be seen, 1
Clad, when the leaf of life is sere,
Or when thou liest ou thy bier,
In bottle-green ?
COL. ETHAN ALLEN,
Of the Green Mountains, was a man to
strike the world as something uncommon and
a high degree interesting. He was but par-
ally educated and obscurely brought up—yet
no man was ever more at ease in the polished
ranks of life than he: not that be at all con
formed to their artificial rules and little eti
quette, but that he observed the dictates of
natural good sense and good humor. His
bearing was in total defiance of fashion, and
he looked and acted as if lie thought it would
bo a condescension thus to trammel himself.
It is well known that early in life in his own
lew;” “and these are but little read” was the
answer. “How then” asked the King,” do
the common people know anv tiling of those
grievances of which they complain, and of
which we have just boon speaking. “As to
that” said he “I ran tell your Majesty, that
amongst a people who have felt tho spirit of
Liberty, the news of oppression is carried by
the birds of the air and tlie breezes of Heaven.”
“That is too figurative an answer from a mat
ter of fact man to a plain question, rejoined Iho
King.” “Well to be plain, answered tho re
bellious subject, amongst our people the tale of
their wrongs is carried from man to man and
from neighborhood to neighborhood with the
speed of electricity, my countrymen feel no
thing else and talk of nothing else, out of n-
bundance of the heart ihe mouth spenk:n"g.”-rr
I will add with great respect to your Majesty,
that such a people cannot be put down with the
sword.” The King made a long pause as if
strongly impressed with the truth of these re
marks; at lengih changing the subject, ho
asked Cel. Allen if he knew Dr. Franklin;
and being answered in the affirmative he en
quired concerning his experiments with elec
tricity—and expressed a curiosly to experi
ence an electric shock. The British sovereign
seemed to take pleasure in the conversation
which lie kept for morP than an hour, and at
length, made Col. Allen promise to visit him
with his countryman Dr. Franklin, at his pal
ace in London.—Some weeks after this, lie
was reminded of his promise by the nobh-niai:
above mentioned, and an hour was fixed for
the homebred Philosopher of America to ex
plain the mysteries of a new discovery in sci
ence to the Royal Family. They a;tended
accordingly, and with ar,apparatus chiefly of
his own invention, Dr. Franklin exhibited ma
ny of flu -c simple and amusiug experiments
for which he was so noted, and at which, tlie
royal children, even those of larger growth,
were much delighted.
In this playful way, Dr. Franklin took oc
casion to convey instruction as to tlie proper
ties of this astonishing fluid. \Yhilc the Royal
habitation whs thus in a most uukingly uproar,
t he Prt n.ier was announced as in waiting.
The King seemed for a moment disturbed.
“1 forget my appointment with the Minister”
said lie “hut no matter, I will eschew business
j for once and let North see how we arc ent-
| ployed. Accordingly the Minister was usher-
j ed in with little ceremony, and it was soon
i concluded that he should have a shock. Al-
1 len whispered to the Doctor to remember, how
: he had shocked us across the waters, and to
! give hint a double charge;” whether it was
\ designed on the hint of his friend or not, was
! not ascertained, but the charge was so power-
j.fnl on the nerves of his Lordship, as to make
him give way in the knees, at which the
company, and especially the Princesses, were
almost convulsed with mirth.
Some of Col. Allen’s happy retorts at the
clubs and fashionable parties are still remem
bered aud often repeated. Ou one occasion
ho was challenged to a glass of wine by the
beautiful Duchess of Rutland who seems to
have particularly been pleased with his inde
pendent manner, ‘and you must qualify your
ghss with a toast,’ observed the lady. The
“Yarmonter” very unaflectediy observed, that
he was not used to that sort of ceremony, and
was afraid he might give offence. If howev
er, the lady would be so good as to suggest a-
subject, he would endeavor to give a sentl~
ment. 'Oh said she, never mind as to the. sub
ject, any thing will do, so that it has no treason
it.” “Well says he, this may do as a truth if.not
for a toast, and fixing his eyes adoringly «*•„ the
far famed court beauty; he proceeded,
‘If any thing could make a double traitor out
of a good patriot, it v ould be the witchcraft of
such eyes as your L .. ship’s.”
The blunt sincerity with w .ici. this was spo
ken together with its exact fitness to the occa
sion and tfie m-rson, caused it to be long hailed
in tho beau monde as an excellent good tiling,
and although it had the effect ofheigliteningfor
a moment that beauty to which it was offered
as a tribute, it is said the fair Duchess often af
terwards boasted of the compliment as far be
fore ali the empty homage she bad received from
the glitering coxcombry of the city.
