I wooed him for myfelf, be wooed me only for bis
master; and when I would have retained him by
my'tears and my caresses, he rent himfelf from my
arms, and vowed, at his departure, that, could I
have joined heaven to the offer of my person, he
would not accept an eternity of bliss at the cost of
a bugle a& of infidelity to Adolphus.
0, Adelaide! Exclaimed the Monarch, you
yet knew not half his worth : He, alone, can de
serve the whole treasure of your affections ! I wiih
to by just, and to render you his more than prince
ly merit. He loved, he loved you with passion,
while he tore himfelffrom you : But the love of
Lis friend and of virtue, in a breast so noble^s his,
fw paired even bis love of Adelaide 1
In that instant, the Caitiff Chriftiern broke in
to the presence. Audacity fat on his brow, and
felf-approbation exulted through his demeanour.
He bowed low at the feet of royalty; but quickly
railing again to the top of his^ftature, he confident
ly addressed the throne :
So please „u, my Liege, you now behold be
fore you the most loyal, the moll attached of all
fubjeds that now are, or perhaps ever were upon
earth ; a man who, in his fealty and duty to his
Prince, finks all other duties,' all other considera
tions. Valvaife and I were bred together from
our infancy; we were fellow-ftudents, sworn bro
thers: His friendfhip procured for me whatever I
now enjoy of honours or pofTeffions. He lately
came to my house, claimed the protection of my
roof, and in confidence told me he had the mis
fortune of failing under your displeasure. But,
as soon as I understood that he was obnoxious to
my King, and that the royal proclamation had is
sued against him, I became a Samson in my allegi
ance; I rent all other ties and obligations,o shreds;
I had him seized and laden with fetters; and he
now attends the sentence that your justice shall
pass upon him.
Adolphus for part of an hour, fat in silent asto
nishment: Hewas shocked, he was terrified. He
looked on Chriftiern with a disgusted and indig
nant eye, as somewhat newly startled up, some hor
rid novelty in nature.
And who, wretch, at length he cried, who
told thee, that the breach of all laws divine and
human, that the bursting in funder of every kind
ly band of gratitude and friendship, of confidence
and hospitality, could give thee a recommendation
to the favour of Adolphus? He who feels not
these ties can have no faith, no allegiance ; but is
equally a traitor to his King and to his God.—
Here ! Take this mifereant, plunge him down
into the mines, a thousand fathom deep, from the
derefting face of the fun ; and let all, who are of
his blood, be banished our dominions for ever,
left Sweden should shortly be over-run with mon
llers !
Pale, speechless, and aghast, flood the wretch
ed convict. Eagerly they seized upon him, and
hurried him with a frantick kind of joy to execu
tion ; so odious and so unpitied, even in misery, is
the guilt of ingratitude !
The King then ordered the prisoner to be in
troduced. He entered, not proudly, nor yct sla
vishly trailing his chains along. His countenance
was feailefs, but modest and dejected; neither
dared he, as he advanced, to raise bis eye to the
face of a Master, whom be thought he had inju
red.
Come you, said the Monarch, to reproach your
cruel friend for the injustice of his orders? Bles
sed be the orders, returned Valvaife, that give
me once more to behold the gracious countenance
of my Lord !
7 hen suddenly turning an eye upon Adelaide,
he darted and changed. Ah Madam, he cried,
you are here then.—Heaven be praised ! You have
queftionlefs, reformed the errors of a wayward
fancy ; and have given up your heart, where ex
cellence claims the whole, entire and undivided,
and where all that we are and that we have is due.
—But then I fee you not, where I trusted you
should soon be exalted; I fee you not on the
throne, or at the fide of your Mader.—Would
you wish then, interrupted the King, to behold
your beloved in the arms of your rival ? From my
foul I wish it, my Lord ; because I love her hap
piness even more than I love her person.
Adelaide, said the Monarch, though you owe
me nothing as your lover, you owe me obedience
as your King. I command you then to step and
unbind the prisoner, and restore him to the arms
and to the bosom of his friend,
Adelaide, with trembling hands, and a palpita
ting heart, her afped all in a glow, set about her
commission; but prolonged the chains of her be
loved, by her haste to set him at liberty.
The Monarch then descended, and, advancing
with open arms, he clasped and reclafped Valvaife
to bis breast. 0, welcome, thrice welcome, he
i tied, to thy late desolate mansion, thy feat with
in my bosom ?—Adelaide has told me all; has
borne incontestable testimony to your truth, to an
honour that is impassable, to a virtue that rises
above fedududion, to a friendfhip that facrificed
whatever you held most dear to the interests of a
man who puts his confidence in you.—What shall
I do, my brother, to recompence your love ?— I
will try —I will strive to emulate the nobleness of
your example.—l will, in my turn, subdue my
own passions.—l will restore to your generosity
what I held dearer than empire, dearer than life.
—I will yield Adelaide to her beloved—and be
greater than a King by resembling Valvaife !
Long silence ensued. Adelaide eagerly look
ed throngh the eyes of Valvaife, in search of the
inmost emotions of his foul ; and finding them con
formable to the generosity of her own sentiments.
. No my Lord, (he cried, Valvaife will admit
of no enjoyment,, till the Lord of his affections
shall be Supremely happy ; till you have found to
yourfelfan Adelaide, whose heart is undivided,
who is wholly worthy of you by the constellation
of her excellencies I firft learned to love, by
admiring, in Valvaife, that fealty, that fervour of
affection which he had for his Master; and, could
he taste of consolation while you rafted of regret,
he would instantly lose the charm by which he en
gaged me; I should despise, I should reject him.
—No no, it cannot be! We jointly vowed and

IT is for strangers to be informed that these Baths
and waters, from their effects in a number of
difeales which had refilled every other medicine,
have been for some years deservedly in the highett
repute : That the Waters are perhaps as pure and
light a chalybeate as the world affords, fe|doni even
at the firft drinking offending the stomach, always
(Lengthening it and promoting a .good appetite ;
are remarkably ufeful, if not fpecific, in all relax

sickness, residing too long in a warm climate, or
too free living : Obftru&ions in the liver, spleen
and mefenteric glands they have infallibly removed.
But the advantages to be obtained from Chalybeate
Waters are too extensive for an advertisement, for
which reason the Public are referred for a more
