WOMAN,S WIT.

The following dramatic passage is con-
corning Gustavus Vasa, when that dis
.inguished monarch took refuge from the
Da.i>h usurper in Delecarlia, to mature
his noble plan for the deliverance of his
country: L
'.On the little hill just mentioned. stood
a very ancient habitation, of so simple an
archit cture, that you would have taken it
for a kinds cottage, instead Of a place that,
in times Of old, had been the abode of no.
bility. II consisted of long farm-like
structure, formed of fir, covered in a
strange fashion with scales, and odd orna-
mental twistings in the carved wood. But
the spot was hallowed by the virtues ofits
heroic mistress, who saved the life of the
future deliverer of her country.
Gustavus having, by an evil accident,
been discovered in the mines, bent his
course towards this house, then inhabited
by gentleman by the name Of Pearson,
whom he had known in the armies of the
late administrator. Here, he hoped, from
the Obligation he had formerly laid on the
officer, that he should at least find safe
retreat. Pearson received him with every
mark of friendship; nay, trea ed him
with that respect and submission which
noble minds are proud to pay to the truly
great when robbed of their external honors
Heexclaimel with such vehemence against
the Danes, that instead of awaiting :: pro-
posal to take up arms, offered unasked,
to try the spirit Of the mountaineers !; and
declared that himself and his vassals would
be the first to set an example, and turn out
, under the command Of his beloved gene
/ raj. Gustavus relied on his word, and
/ promising not to name himself to any,
i while he was absent, some days after
!, wards saw Pearson leave the house to put
! his design in execution. 1t was indeed a
/ design, and black one. Under the spe-
cious coax of Jealous affection for Gus
4 tavus, the traitor was contrlving his rum.
i The hope Of making his court to the Dan
Il isl, tyran,, and The expectation OF a large
: reward, induced him to sacrifice his honor
10 his ambition, and for the sake Of few
y durats. violate the most sacred laws o.
i hospitality, by betraying his guest. II
; pursuance of that base resolution, ne pro
4 c e .ded 10 one of Chri> tiern's officers com
! man.Iing in the province, and informet
him that Gustavus was his prisoner. Hav
!. ING committed this treachery, he had no
!. the courage to face his victim, but tellin,

tlonal session Of IS days. Although
there have been several exciting topics
which were calculated il their yerv ma
ture to district aud divide the members.
we are happy TO say that there has been
degree Of forbearance and a desire to
harmonic and act from correct principle
exhibited by the members, generally,
which reflects much credit on them as
Representatives Of the people of this Ter

two hundred bills, including memorials
and. joint resolutions and have displayed
an Industry which is worthy of imitation
by all Legislative bodies. The favors
they have conferred on us willsnever be
Forgotten, and it will not be our fault il
the lines of National Politics should be
drawn III such manner as to make It inn
proper for us TO supportall those who have
thus favored US. 1t is we'll known that
we have always been opposed TO making
national politics a test in our elections,
and now that personal considerations
have come in to strengthen this principle,
we shall be more opposed to it Than ever.

second monday in July, for the purpose
OF making new superintendent of repre-.
