QUESTION.
We regret the position of apparent antago-
I nism which Senator Hunter occupies to the Ad
ministration, in its policy of annexing Cuba to
! the United States. In the Democratic Senato-
■ rial Caucus lately held at Washington, Mr. Sli-
lell proposed to place at the disposal of the
Old |t<P Vnn W inkle Awake.
We arc rejoiced to see that a Bill is before the
North Carolina Legislature, by which it is pro
posed to connect the Rail Roads of that Stab
with the East Tenneeaee and Georgia Road.—
The route proposed will render the magnificent
scenery and delightful summer climate of the
French Broad River country accessible to trav
ellers and tourists. We shall be glad to chron
icle the speedy completion of this important
public work.
A Large Turnip.
Wc are indebted to our friend, Luther J.
Cross, for a Dooly County Turnip, of the globe
-pedes, weighing seven pounds, and a bcautifil
vegetable of the kind—lair, white, crisp and ten
der. Wc have seen larger turnips—hut never
a finer specimen. It was the growth of the pine
liml of Dooly.
The Largest Cotton Crop In Gcor-
GIA.
Col. Joseph Bond of this dty has made this
year twenty-one hundred and seventy bales of
Cotton, which would at present prices brirg
him over one hundred thousand dollars. Anert
little income.
week, persons F —
Griffin -j-.j Cre-^'lent thirty millions of dollars for the pur
pose of carrying ont the views of Mr. Buchanan
in regard to the acquisition of this valuable Is
land. Strange to my Mr. Hunter opposed, and
Mr. Douglas favored the proposition. • We are
very sure that no Statesman can ever reach the
Presidency who in this momentous question
hangs fire, and we hope that when the matter
comes before the Senate, Mr. Hunter may be in
duced to give as cordial and earnest a support
to the Slidell resolution, as we are happy tosee
Mr. Douglas has done.
Without a doubt the policy of Mr. Buchanan
is favored by the people, and we earnestly de
sire to see the Democratic Senators and Repre
sentatives a unit in sustaining it No measure
of public import lias received such general favor
as that embodied in the Slidell resolution.
New England, furious and fanatical as her
people are on the subject of Slavery, will not
only not oppose, but warmly advocate the an
nexation of Cuba, slaves and all, because by it
she puts money in her purse—her shipping and
manufacturing interest are both largely involved
in the success of the scheme, and her statesmen
will readily swallow without a wry face the sla
very pill, when it is coated with free rum, free
sugar, free molasses, and free tobacco.
The Middle and Western States are also strong
ly in favor of annexation, and they would not
only swallow the slavery pill, but also take the
responsibility of war with Spain rather than be
deprived of the immense advantages which
they would derive from it The Southern States
want Cuba, as well for its products as for a mar-
Daucc at the Brown House.
On Monday evening 17th, was a brilliant
and agreeable aflair. The ladies looked the

season, to give a second soiree.

Mr. Fleming dosed a brilliant and sureessful
engagement on Saturday night last The Rich
and Poor of New York proved a dedded hit,
and drew crowded houses for three nights. Mr.
Studley added greatly to his reputation as an
actor, by his faithful representation of Badger.
Miss Charlotte Thompson acted Lucy to perfec
tion. Mrs. Puffcy was exceedingly well played
by Miss Landers. Mr. Kemble, as Mr. Puffey,
was inimitable—in lad, the whole Company ex
erted themsdves to please, and succeeded ad
mirably. On Saturday, the Lady ot Lyons was
performed, and we are gratified to say, to the
entire satisfaction of the audience. Mr. Flem
ing, in Claude, was chaste, Classic, and perfect
ly natural—nothing strained or overdone. We
have never Men Claude better played. Miss
Thompson, as Pauline, won plaudits long and
loud from the pleased auditory. Tho night was

play—then the alarm of fire was raised, but not
withstanding the chapter of accidents, all were
pleased. We learn that Mr. Fleming, encour
aged by the patronage he has received, will re
turn in about two weeks, and has engaged Mr.

The desire to acquire Cuba by honorable and
peaceful means, is not local but National—is
not confined to a division or party, but embra
ces a large majority of all classes and all parties
throughout the Republic.
That Statesman, then, who hopes, to place
himself within the line of safe precedent, should
ponder long and earnestly, before he takes
ground against tho position which Mr. Buclian-
an has assumed.
Wc have watched Mr. Hunter's course as a
public man, and while we have often thought
he was over cautious—sometimes perltaps timid,
in the main we'have regarded him as sound,
conservative, reliable and patriotic, and, we shall
regret to see him take a position oa Ac Cuban
question which is not in harmony with the views
of tho Administration and the people. Wc
must have Cuba—the North wants it—the earn
est and impulsive West demands it—the South
is clamorous for it- Let the voice of the sover
eigns be heard Let every Democrat cordially,
earnestly, and industriously support the pro
gramme of tho President, and we shaS add an
other triumph to the long roll of victories which
now emblazons the bright escutcheon of the
Democratic party,
If thirty millions will not "do, let us give a
hundred The South will stand a high tariff
for a season, if thereby Cuba can he gained—
Furnish Mr. Buchanan with the means—supply

will be ours.

Wc came across Franklin’s “ Poor Richard, 1

“Valley Fanner," and reproduce it under the
impression that it will bo new to most of our
readera, although in its time it travelled the cir
cuit of civilization, and was translated into all,
or nearly all the European tongues. It is the
mwt terse and pithy composition in the English
language and a model of the didactic to the par
ticular end and auditoi7 it was addressed. In
our time, place and condition it must be taken,
of course, with allowance.
Judge Love’s Address.
Read the excellent address of Judge P. E.
Love, to the People of'his Judicial Circuit—
This patriotic functionary has taken a good time-
a proper occasion, and is in tho right position to
advise the people in reference to the evils of
popular judicial elections. Ho has just been re
elected with hardly an opposing vote, and can
therefore have no ground of mere personal com
plaint against the system. He is about to ter
minate, by his own act, a long and acceptable
career as Judge, and can therefore have
nothing personal to apprehend from the System r — - , .
in the future. In every aspect his motives are | son, Hale, LoTejoy, Gtddtngs, Greeley and com-
A Coalition forming—Democrats
ATTENTION!
The Prairie News, a Mississippi opposition pa
per, more honest than sagacious, having hois
ted the name of John J. Crittenden for Presi
dent, and Wm. A. Shaw, of Mississippi, for V ice
President—(en passant who is Wm. A. Shaw ?
its the first time we ever heard of him,) the
Eagle ft Enquirer, Jere Clemens’ Memphis
paper, throws cold water on tho ticket, and says
*we have enough of other differences to recon
cile without dragging in the claims of individual
aspirants. The Democracy must be beaten for
the credit of the nation, and the only way to
beat them is to organize the whole opposition.
This sentence, with the word whole italicised,
the National American copies and endorses.
The Richmond Whig in a long article on the
campaign of 1860, holds this significant and
startling language:
There is now, no reason under Heaven why
tho opposition, North and South, East and
West, may not unite in support of the same
policy and tho same candidates in 1800- And
we go for such union, with all our heart and
soul.
The Southern Watchman copies tha- article of
the Whig, and prefoccs it by a harangue against
the Democratic party, closing with this senti
ment
“Wc can sec but one hope of relief. It is the
union of all conservative elements of opposition
“for the sake of the Union.”
Wo beg our readers to mark well tho language
of these extracts. What is the obvious purport
and meaning of Clemens, and the endorsement
of the American ? How must wc interpret the
sweeping assertion of the Whig, and the grati
fied commendation of the Watchman ? In our
humble judgment it requires the aid of no skilled
political augurer to interpret the meaning of the
above extracts. The simple solution is that the
Eagle and Inquirer—tho Whig—the National
American, and jierhzps the Watchman, are
ready to urge their party in Georgia to unite
and coalesce with all parties and factions to de
feat in the next election the Democratic party
for the Presidency.
In other words, Greeley, Seward, Hale, Wil
son, Chase, Ranks, Fremont, Fillmore, Critten
den, Bell, Hamphcry Marshall, Winter Davis,
Bolts and Ridgeway, are to meet together, fix
up a rickety, hollow platform—unite on a man.
enter him for the Presidency, and put out the
Democratic candidate. This cock may fight in
Virginia, in Kentucky, in New York, in New
England and other places, but iqGeorgia it will
never crow. Wo shall be slow to believe that
any party in Georgia will ever again bo found
in Convention with Wilson, Hale, Banks and
Company.
The Philadelphia affair of ’55 taught them a
saon which will cast many of the gentlemen
who attended it from tho South for the balance
of their lives.
The plan is maturing, however, as our readers
will perceive, and confined to no special locality.
The New York Tribune in a leader last week,
foreshadows the same policy, and we are not
surprised, though.wc regret to sec Southern
Journals ready to unite in this piebald and un
seemly coalition.
That the opposition party in Georgia will
ever cordially concur in such a disastrous move
ment we do not fora moment believe, but that
there are some who are ready to shake hands
with the bitterest foes of Southern Rights, to
accomplish their own advancement—who will
enter into any sort ol combination—affirm any
platform—ignore any principle, and vote for any
man to defeat the Democratic party, we have
long known. We call upon the National Ame
rican and Southern Watchman to speak out—
Do they mean to embrace this new idea of a
general mixing in of all the elements of the op
position ? Do they include Seward, Chase, Wii-
for Educational purposes, and for which he was
to be pad interest at the rate of seven percent
per annum, until tha third Monday of Novem
ber next We did not state that the Governor
wasauthorised by law todothia, because we took
it for granted that Gov. Brown’s character was
too well known for any one to suppose for a
moment that he would arbitrarily and illegally
dispose of the public money.
Our neighbor of the Republican, however, in
its first notice of the financial arrangement of
Gov. Brown, questioned his authority, and de
nounced the parties, doing Gov. Brown the jus
tice, however, not to impugn his motives.
In the next issue of, the paper our cotempo
rary, after examining the Statute, yields-the pro
priety and legality of the act, but asks to “what
credit is Gov. Brown entitled on the score of a
financial achievement ?”
Wo reply that Gov. Brown is entitled to great
credit for making an arrangement under the
act of the Legislature, by which six thousand
dollars is added to the Educational fund, and
moreover, for obtaining all the Exchange which
the State sliall need at par.
Under the old plan when the State funds were
deposited with the Bank of the State of Georgia,
die State was compelled to pay, and within the
last year did pay, large sums for Exchange.—
Under the present arrangement this item of ex
pense will be avoided. So we reiterate what we
stated in our last issue in praise of Gov. Brown.
We think he is entitled to great credit for the
conception and execution of this judicious ar
rangement In the close of the List article, the
Republican says:
“We take great pleasure in giving Governor
Brown the benefit of the correction, and further
more in correcting the Telegraph by stating
We do not care what you call it, neighbor,
but the fret is os we stated—tho Governor let
the Bank have the money, and the Bank pays
the interest—that’s the marrow of the question
—the money is not only deposited, but it is
loaned also, or why does the Bank pay interest?
If it was a mere deposit to he returned when
called for, the Republican would lie right But
in the case in point, the Bank has the use of the
money until the third Monday in November,
and pays interest for the use of it, and the State
would not he legally entitled to it until that
time. Wc therefore, say, it was & loan as well
as deposit /yT

Anolher Fine Engine—Progress of
CAR BUILDING IN MACON, 4c.
The South-Western Company put on their
road last Friday, a new and very beautiful Lo
comotive of the first class, appropriately named
“Emerson" Foote,” for the late lamented Gen
eral Superintendent of the Central Road—a
man deserving of all honor among the railroad
mechanicians of Georgia. The “Emerson Foote”
was built at the Rogers Locomotive Works,
Patterson, (N. J.,)—is of the first class—weighs
twenty-seven tons—has fourteen inch cylinders,
five feet driving wheels, and a stroke of sixteen
inches. She is beautifully finished and decora
ted, painted of a roddfeh brown, striped and
ornamented with Vermillion and gold. The fin
ish of her polished parts and brass mountings is
very beautiful, and she is provided with every
improvement and convenience known in Loco
motive construction. Her cap is of black wal
nut with gilded moulding. Her cost was about
$9,000.
Mr. Elfe, the accomplished Master Machinist
of the South-Western Road, kindly dispatched
his black Mercury with a carriage to summon
us to the trial trip of this splendid iron courser.
Wc have a passion for railway engines and cars.
They embody, with the iron rail, in our opinion,
the greatest triumph of mind over matter—the
pre-eminent victory of human ingenuity. Others
may grow eloquent over the magnetic telegraph,
and there is ample scope and occasion for it; but
to us the great iron steed with his long train of
chariots behind him, thundering along with a
majesty and power which seems to defy distance
and gravitation, is the sublime example of the
(tower of the human mind,
looking at them, and no passing train goes by
unnoticcd.
Here, however, for the first time, wc found
ourselves upon a full bred locomotive; beside
Mr. Ham, the engineer, with his steady hand on
the throttle-valve and his fixed and earnest gaze
intent down the track, on the look-out for break
ers. Some writer of late has eloquently de
scribe^ the sensations of a first ride upon the
locomotive in a dark night—there is a venture
some, ncck-or-notliing idea about it even in day
light You realize, to the full, the fearful mo
mentum of the ponderous machine which bears
you, and as the engineer bends outward to
catch tho furthest view round a curve, you
see that there is always more or less real peril
about it—for an obstacle may he encountered
sooner than your speed can be easily checked or
stopped. The Emerson Foote, however, en
countered nothing but a stray passenger left
behind, whom she kindly brought on his way.
She ran beautifully, and next day entered upon
her duties as a freight engine, wherein a thous
and or more hags of cotton will he no strain

and gradually put themselves in train for com

Cobb and Breckinridge for the
PRESIDENCY.
The Richmond Examiner in a long and care
fully prepared article, in which the claims of
the various aspirants for the Presidency are can
vassed, comes to the following conclusion. We
find it in the Enquirer 5—
The “Examiner’’ finds but one man in the
Gulf States altogether free from objection—“the
astute and sagacious Cobb, of Georgia, with
his nationality of ancient date, and his present
orthodoxy on the Tariff question,” who “will
probably loom up in Charleston the unanimous
choice of the great State of Georgia—a State in
population and resources last gaining on Vir
ginia.” i
The “Examiner” finds yet another unexcep
tionable' candidate. Turning to the South
western States, Breckinridge, the popular Vice
President, withhands unsoilcd by Kansas quar
rels ? already attracts the attention of the De
mocracy of the entire West The invariable
success of that young statesman, his "conserva
tism, bis unbounded personal popularity, his
brilliant career in Congress, his triumphs in
Kentucky, and his admiral private virtues, place
him high upon tho lists of probable candidates.”
For the Telegraph.
The Democratic Party.
In view of the great duties which devolve on
tho Democratic party, and especially that high
est and most important one of preserving the
Constitution of the United States, and enforcing
it in letter and spirit—it seems to me unpardon-
donable that mere selfish desires or personal
ends should sock to distract and disunite those
who claim to he guided only by great cardinal
principles. .
Great freedom of opinion should always be
tolerated where it is apparent that honest pat
riotic intentions exist -1 think that it is now
apparent that the division which ensued in the
Democratic party upon the attempt to bring
Kansas into the Union with the Lccompton
Constitution, should be healed if practicable and
without an abandonment of principle.
I have been long persuaded that every blow
given either to Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Douglas
growing out of their differences in reference to
this question, is calculated to weaken the Demo
cratic party, and to enure solely to the benefit
of the Black Republicans.
If so, why this unnecessary warfare—suicidal
one ? Cui bono ? It is very certain that it is
not necessary to kill off Douglas to strengthen
Mr. Buchanan, as the latter will not be in the
field for re-election. For what end then should
Democrats permit themselves to get into a con
test with each other ?
Our true policy is to continue to give a cordial
support to Mr. Buchanan’s Administration, and
to eschew all attempts by whomsoever made to
draw us into mere personal controversies.—
Enough has been said by the Democratic press
and party of Mr. Douglas—in the unanimous
condemnation of his political conduct in refe
rence to the Lecompton constitution.—By that
unexpected conduct he forfeited at the South
the high position he had won by his boldness
and talent More—he lost that hold on their
affections and preference which would have made
him their choice to succeed Mr. Buchanan.—
He will find it difficult, perhaps impossible, to
regain the proud elevation he once held in our |
ranks.—But why should we seek to prevent him j
re-instating himself if he can *—why should we
continue to denounce him, when the great pow
ers of his intellect arc employed in vindicating
our rights under the constitution ?
Besides, it may be that when the field is ex
amined, Douglas alone, of all our public men,
can rally under our banner any strength from
the non-slaveholding States.
If found to be more available from the
strength which he can most probably bring—
why, as to him alone, shall Democrats ignore a
principle of choice which must ever be consid
ered?
For rqyself I will not mingle iu strifes that
ore not demanded of me by principle, nor will
I assist in dragging down an intellect which has
for years so much won upon my admiration.
Again, dissentions and heart-burning exist at
home. The administration of Gov. Brown is
covertly assailed in our ranks, and our oppo
nents arc benevolently fanning the fires. It is
very evident that an effort is made to impress
the public with the idea that an approval of
Gov. Brown’s management of the State Road is
a condemnation of Gov. Johnson’s, and the per
sons engaged in this laudable task interpret ajl
the praise bestowed on Gov. Brown as so much
censure upon Gov. Johnson.—And why Ls this
done ? Why done by Democrats ? I am per
suaded that the championship assumed by some
persons of Gov. Johnson's administration does
not spring from ardent attachment to him, nor
is it with a view to place Gov. Johnson in the
Senate of the United States.
It is apparent that as Gov. Johnson is under
stood to be a candidate for the Scnatorship in
place of Mr. Iverson—the conjoint efforts of
many of the friends of persons looking to the i
same position, have been, and are making to j
destroy Gov. Johnson’s popularity, as he is un- i
questionably the most prominent gentleman '
named for that office.
The comparisons instituted apparently with a j
view to defend Gov. Johnson's administration, |
do not, in my judgment, proceed from love for
him, or anxiety to advance his pretensions. If
Gov. Brown can be brought into a hostile atti
tude to Gov. Johnson, tho purpose is accom
plished which seems to me to have elicited the
many articles which seek to put the friends of
each in antagonism.
I am a cordial supporter of the administration
in general of Gov. Brown—I admire his firm
ness—I believe in his honesty. I shall vote for
him for Governor against the world, and at the
same time, I greatly prefer for the Senate of the
United States, Gov. Johnson, toany other person
whom I have heard named.
The Democratic party, if it wishes to main
tain its ascendency by the advocacy of principle,
should tako all proper means to place in these
high offices, men of true distinction, and who
have claims from valuable public service to its
continued regard. A YOUNG DEMOCRAT.

Of the beauties of earth that ravish the sight;
The glory that crowns the hoar mountain’s head, |
The soft shady dell, and the flowery mead;
Of Spring’s cheerful green, and the sombre cast
Of Autumn, which tells us that life cannot last;
Of whispering rill, and bright polished lake
That mirror the heavens, and thence color take;
Of the waves of the ocean foiled to rest,
When the storm-fiend hath lashed and furrowed its
breast;
Of morning’s bright beam, and the mellowing light
Of evening that clonds with the shadow of night.
Thro’ those bright silverficlds, thon hast wandered

Where the stars their mysterious missions fnlfil,
And the moon, pale empress of night holds sway
And divided command with the monarch of day.

Her beauty of form, and her beauty of free;
Her graces of mind, and her kind, gentle heart,
Inspire a pleasure nought else can impart.
I turn from n world where beauty may fade,
Where so often mingle the sunlight and shade;
Where the laurel now wreathes the brow of the
brave,
Anon the sad cypress glooms over his grave;
Where the landscape which now may look fair to
the sight,
Will to-morrow be tarnish’d with mildew and blight;
Where the heavons whose brightness now dazzles

The Child and the Convict.
(founded on a true incident.)
From out his narrow, dingy cell,
Into the crowded street,
An aged convict scowled upon
The scorn he thought to meet
“ Behold the murderer,” cried one;
“St Clare, the vile old wretch;
There’ll be a jubilee in town,
The day his neck shall stretch.”
A well dressed child of seven years,
Then passing, caught the name;
And waiting till the crowd dispersed,
Up to the grate she came.
“ Yon’re not as bad,” she whispered soft,
“ As these rude men, who laugh
And call you naughty names, do say—
I’m sure you’re not by half.
I’m not afraid of you at all,
I heard you called St Clare;
And I’m r. little orphan girl,
That loves that name to wear.”

I know that he was a good man,
And are you not so, too?
I’ve seen nobody else since him,
That bore our name but you.”
The trusting words of that pure child,
Struck on the convict’s ear,
And roused a chord that had not stirred,
Through many a by-gone year.
With moistened eyes, and frown relaxed,
“ My gentle one,” said he,
“ I cannot tell how much I feel,
Your childish sympathy.
You seem the good Samaritan,
Who stops by the wayside,
To comfort one that has been passed
By many sanctified.
I’m not related to you, though,
Twere sad Indeed to think,
That simple innocence like yours,
With vice like mine might liult.
I came from o’er the wide blue sea,
Where you have never been;
And where I ne’er your father knew,
Nor any of your kin.”
She wondering gazed; then said, “you’re sad;
I’m sorry, any how.
You can be good if you will try,
Though you may not be now.
But I must go ; I’ve been from home
Almost the whole forenoon;
My friends will be expecting me—
I’ll come again, though, soon.
Once every day for several weeks,
This child would steal from home,
And with some dainty bit of food,
To the poor prisoner come.
And as the numbered hours rolled on,
And neared the fearful time,
When on the gallows he must pay
Tho forfeit for his crime—
She brought her Bible and hymn book;
And he in sin grown grey,
From her sweet unaffected lips,
Now meekly learned to pray.
“ You’ll see my Pa and Ma," she said,
“ In that bright home above,
And you can tell them about me,
And give them my best love.
With head bowed low, he answered thus,
While tears ran down his free,
“ It has been given you to change,
My views of that blest place.
I once thought that none dwelt thero
But hypocrites and fools ;
But now I see a blissful land
Where God in mercy rules.
Where pardoned s.nners sweetly sing
At Jesus Christ’s right hand,
And lovely children clad in white,
Make up the choral band.

that was to be beard, drew herself up to the en

Tlic Boston Literati and the At-
LANTIC MONTHLY.
The Herald, amid a great deal of bosh, some
times lets off a good thing, and this about the
Atlantic and the Boston Literary coterie which
surround it, will pass for as much:
About a year since, some philosophers who
have long had a sort of Mutual Admiration So
ciety in Boston established a rather weak mag
azine, which they appropriately call the Atlan
tic. It is dreary, expansive, and watery in the
extreme—devoted chielly to the glorification of
the rock of Pymouth, Beacon Hill, Bostonian
booksellers and New England writers, mem
bers of the particular clique that spread their
common places over its sleepy pages. Withal
it is absurdly pretentions, claiming that its de
sign is to elevate the taste of the reading public,
and putting Boston on a pinnacle of literary
fame for above every other city in tlic United
States or elsewhere. Every one of as poor,
ignorant, misguided people, is expected to fall

present this record of crime as the result of the
trial, we may saicly assume it as such:
“The Governor complains of the rapid increase
of crime, as evinced by the increase of State
Prison convicts far outrunning the increase of
population, and that, too, notwithstanding a
severity of punishment greater than that, im
posed by the law of New York—the death pen
alty only excepted. The number of convicts
has risen from 110inl847 to473inl858,ofwhom
34 are prisoners for life—24 of them for will
ful murder. The increase of crime threatens to
more than fill the State Prison. In three years
more, at this rate, there will be no room left,
even though the unfinished portion of the pris
on be completed in the interval ; for which ad
ditional appropriations are required.”
Gustavus Vasa.
The father of Gustavus Vasa and many of
his friends and kinsmen had fallen iu a foul
massacre. His mother and several of the most
illustrious ladies were carried prisoners to
Copenhagen, and treated with every indignity.
On Ills own head a high price was set, and ho
was safe nowhere. He tied into Dalicurlia, a
wild region of mines and mountains, inhabited
by the most daring and independent race of
Sweden. He hoped to rouse them to the rescue
of their country; but that great bloody deed
and Christian’s spies everywhere, had thorough
ly unmanned even these hard)’ men. On his
journey, his servant made off with his clothes
and effects, and Gustavus pui-sued him—but
in vain. Once more disguised as a peasant, be
went on through sterile mountains, unpeopled
heaths and forests, till they reached Fahlun,
with its blazing fires, rolling smoke and sooty
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 fineness of his linen and
his manners did not escape a sharp-eyed maid.
Tho master, informed of this, soon recogniz
ed Gustavus, a fellow student at Upsala, and
filled with terror, entreated him to plunge
deeper into the mountains, and leave him and
his family in safety. He next betook himself
to the castle of a nobleman, who received him
most affectionately, making himself most sure
of the offehed reward. He;mounted and rode off
to tho next military station, and was soon back
again with twenty troopers. But the bird was
flown, through a hint from the more noble wife,
who furnished him with a horse and sledge for
his escape. He sought refuge at the door of a
monastery, founded by his ancestors, but the
monks shut the door iu his face. HU next
asylum was with a worthy clergyman; but
here the Philistines were upon him again, for
th; Danish soldiery were hunting everywhere.
He was again'rescued by the presence of mind
jof a lady who, on the entrance of the troop
ers into the house, where Gustavus was sitting
with the other farm men, she gave him a cuff
on the ear, and sent him off on pretense of some
neglected errand.
llis host then concealed him under a load of
straw, and drove him towards a place of secu
rity ; but the soldiers met them on the way,
examined the load of straw, ran their swords
upon the supposition that the cleeil
abide with tlic people. The giving!
