Imitating nn Emperor.
The fallowing anecdote exhibits the ate
Emperor of Russia in a new character, ns
woil us records one of the most happy ?s
capes from uu awkward j>osition that
tvi-r was effected by w*t and presence of
niiiul.
ffoinc years rgo there was a ceh brated
poniic actor at St. Petersburg named Mart
noff.
He had the most extraordinary powers
of imitation, and was so great a favorite
with the public as sometimes to venture
interpo'ations of his own. iu t- *nd of following
the t dvrce of Ilmnlet to hi* p'nyers,
" to speak uo more than is set down
for them."
The Fmperor had a high chamberlain,
or a person filling a siuii.ar office, nau.ed
l'o'oflsky.
Whether for fun or niavce, MartinofT,
while perform ng. contrived to let liysome
puns against this great man, which were
very warm'y received by the audience.
The consequence tva?, as soon as the
play was over, the a^tor found himself in
the custody of n guard of soldiers, who
to< k him to prison, where he was told he
was 10 be confined for a fortnight.
Not content wi li this, Po'offsky either
tod the Eiu]>eror himself, or contrived
tluft it slion'd ronie to his ears, that
t'.ie p aver had" ad ;aily had the presuniptio
? to indulge iu imitations of h e imperii!
nm'e tv.
Cn his liberation, MnrtinofT went to
Court to pay his respects, as nsrial, and
theEmjeror to!d him of the accusation,
\vh ch he denied.
" Well," said the Emperor, " if you ever
did 50, let me have au imitation of myself
now. We know you can do it, if you
choose."
This was ait |wktvard andjian^erous

tli re ww uo ece:H o.
Fudden'y a bright fhoiight struck Mar-"
t'no8', and drawing himself rip, he assnmed
the exact bearing and manner of
the Emperor, aiid in a voice so like that it
made every one present start, lie said?
" Po'oflsky, give MartinofF a thousand
sil er roubles.'' ^ t
" Stop!" said the Emperor, " I have
heard quite enough. The imitation is admirable,
but the entertainment promises
to be too expensive. Give him the roub'es,
Poloffsky ; and now mind sir, let tliis
be the last time you mimic trie here or
elsewhere;-'
It is, of coursa, unnecessary to say that
MartinoflF, who had expected nothing less
than a journey to SiLeria, was too glad tor
pocket the money and escape so welL
Alexander the Great in China.
After Alexander had made war against
Faor, he marched against the emperor x>t
C'h ?n. Tlio monarch did not consider
himself equal to the conflict, end
we.it in disguise to the Grtcian camp.

was anxious to see you and your army, f
could have no fear on my own account, as
I knew I was not an olject of dread to Alexander;
bes des, if he were to slay me,
my subjects would instantly raise another
k ng to the throne. But of this I con
have no fear, as 1 am tatisfied that.Alexander
can never be displeased with an aclion
that shows a solicitude to ol tain his
