A Royal ANEcDoTE.-A recent life of Queen
Christina of Sweden relates the following anecdote:
When Salmasius was at Stockholm, he was one
day confined to his bed by Illness and engaged in
reading now happily forgotten French book, Of
general French immortality, when the door opened,
and Christina entered abruptly and unannounced.
Monsieur salmasius hastily thrust beneath the bed.
clothes book even he might well be ashamed to be
caught reading-it was DE verville's Moyen de Par.
uenir-but not before Christina had seen what the
sick sinner was about. Her Majesty's eye, which
nothing escaped had taken account of the confused
and Uncovered retreat of the pernicious book. She
cooy withdrew the book from its temporary retreat,
opened it, began to read, and smiled as she read ;
then called for her "mad OF honor" the fair Ebba
Spare. and even compelled the reluctant girl to read
aloud certain passages which her Majesty pointed out
and which crimsoned the readers cheeks and vexed
her inmost spirit with shame and honest anger, while
shouts Of laughter from the listeners resounded to
their disgrace.
