A HAPPY HoME.--The first year of married life il
most important era in the history of husband and
wife. Generally, it is SPENT so is almost all subse
qnent existence The wife and husband then assirni-
late their views and their DESIRES or else conure up
their dskes and add fael to their prejudices and
animosties forever afterward.
have somewhere read" says Rev. Dr. Wise in
his Bridal Greetings" Of bridegroom who gored
in his eccentricties He requested his bride to ac-
company him into the garden day or two after the
wedding He then threw line over the roof of their
cottage. Giving his wife one end of it, he retreated
to the other side and exclaimed:
"Pull the line! /"
81 can't" she replied.
"Pull with all your might T" shouted the whimsical
husband.
But in vain were all the efforts of the bride to pull
over the line, so long az the husband held on the op
posite side But when he came round, and both pull
ed at one end, it came over with great ease.
"There," said he as the line fell from the roof, "you
see how hard and Intellectual was our labor when we
pulled IN opposition to each other but how easy and
pleasant it is when we both pull together. It will be
so, my dear, through life If we act together it will
be pleasant to liye Let US, therefore, always pull
together" f'
In this illustration, honey as it may he, there is
sound philosophy. Husband and wife must mutually
bear and concede, if they wish to make home retreat
o. JOY and bliss. One alone cannot make home happy
There must be union of action, sweetness of spirit,
and great forbearance and love in both husband and
wife, to secure the great end of happiness in the do
nestle circle.

Gustavus Vasu.

The father Of Gustavns Vasa and many Of his
friends and kinsmen had fallen in massacre. His
mother and several Of the most lustrious ladies were
carried prisoners to Copenhagen, and treated with
every indignity. On his own head high price was
set, and he was safe nowhere He fled into Daleur-
liza, wild region of mines and mountains, inhabited
by the most daring and independent race of Sweden
He hoped to them to the rescue OF their coun
try but that great bloody deed, and Christians
spies everywhere, had thoroughly unnamed even
these hardy men. On his journey, his servant made
on with his clothes and effects, and Gusavus pursued
him till his horse fell under him-but in vain. Once
more disguised as peasant, he went on through
sterile mountains, unpeoped heaths and forests till
he reached Fahlun with its blazing fires, rolling
smoke and suity copper works. Here he labored for
some time in the mines !; but his uneasy mind drove
him on again. He engaged as a thresher at a farm
but there the fneness of his linen and his manners
did not escape sharp eyed maid.
The master, informed OF this, soon recognized Gus.
tavus, fellow student at Upsala and filed with ter.
ror, entreated him to plunge deeper into the noun
tains and leave him and his family in safety. He
next betook himself to the castle of nobIeman who
received him most afisctionately, making himself
rode off to the next military station and was soon
back again with twenty troopers. But the bird was
flown, through hint from the more noble wife, who
furnished him with horse and sledge for his escape
He sought refuge at the door monastery founded
BY his ancestors but the monks shut the door in his
face. His next asylum was with a worthy clergy-
man; but here the Philistnes were upon him again
1 1 the Danish soldery were hunting everywhere.
He again rescued by the presence Of mind of he
lady Who on the entrance of the troopers into the
house, where Gustavus was sitting with the other
farm men, she gave him cuff on the ear, and sent
MN on on pretense OF some neglected errand.
His host then concealed him under load Of straw
and drove him towards place Of security but the
soldiers met them on the way, examined the load of
straw, ran their swords through it in different direc
tons and at one pass pierced the leg of Gnstavns
He bore the wound without stirring, and was saved
but the blood soon running through the cart, and
leaving track on the snow, his Ingenious host cut
wound in his horses foot, and when the bloody track
was remarked, showed that as the cause. Through
such dangers and discouragements Gustayus escaned
finally reused the men of Dalicurla, expelled the
Danes and was unanimously elected King. He be.
came one OF the nobest Kings that ever reigned
completed the Reformation in Sweden, and remains
one of the worlds great names.
