WOMAN'S TVIT.
The following1 dramatic passage.is concerning' Gusta-
vus Vasa, when1 that' distinguished monarch took, refuge
from the Danish usufper'in Delacarlia.to'maturehis no-
ble plan for the deliverance of his country:
On the little hill just mentioned, stood a very ancient
habitation, of "so simple an architecture; that you would
have taken -it for a hind's cottage,-instead of a place that,
in times ofpld.had been'the'abode;of nobility.. It-consisted
of a long farm-like structure',, formed ,o7 fir, covefedin
a strange fashion with scales, andddd, .ornamental twist-
ingsinthe caryed wood.--But'the spot was hallowed by
the virtues of its heroic mistress,, "who saved, ,by her pre-
sence of mind, the life of, tho future deliverer of her
country. ; .
Gustavus, 'having, by "an ,'evil accident, been discovered
in the mines, bent his course towards thii.house, then in-
habited bya gentleman.of the! name,bf'Pearson,;whom ne
had kno'vvn in the armies of the late administrator. Here,
he hoped, from the obligation he. had formerly laid on tho
officer, that he should, at least nna a sate. retreat. . fear-
son rec.pivpd him. with everv mark of friendshin: nav.
treated him with that respect and submissibh'which noble
minds are proud to pay to the .truly great, when robbed ol
their external honors. He exclaitped with such vehe-
mence against the Danes, that' instead of awaiting a pio-
posal to take-up arms, offered, unasked, to try the spirit of
the mountaineers; and declared-thai himself and his vas-
sals would be, the first to, set an example, and turn out un
der the command of his.heloved general. Gustavus relied
on hiS'Word, and promising, not to; name, himself to. any,
wnile he was absent, some days mter,wards.saw Jfearsoa
leave the house to put His design.in "execution.
It was indeed a .design, and a black one. Under the
specious cloak ot a zealous attection lor uustavus, tnc
traitor was contriving his. ruin. The.hope of making his
court to the Danish tyrant, and the expectation of a large
revvard, induced.him to sacrifice his honor to his ambition,
and for the sake of a few ducats, violate the most sacred
aws of hospitality, by. betraying his guest. ,In pursuance
of that base- resolution, he.proceeded tcone ofChristiern's
officers commanding in the1 province,- and informed him
that Gustavus was his prisoner;, Haying(comrnitted lias
treachery, he had not the.co.urage-toacejhis victim, but
telling the Dane how to. surprise ,the Prince,-who, he
said, believed-hiraself-under the protection of a friend, he
pro'posad taking a wider circuit home,-.while they.appa-
rently unknown ito. ,liim, rifled it of-its" treasure; 'It will
bean easy matter,' said he, 'for not even;my wife knows
that itis'.Gustavus.' . '
The officer, at the head of a party of well-armed sol
diers, marched, directly to the lake; -The men invested
the house, while the leader; abruptly entering, found
Pearson's yvife,1 according to the fashion of those days, em
ployed m culinary preparations; At some distance trom
her; sat a young nanin a rustic garb; lopping off the
knots'from the broken branch' of a tree. The officertold
her he came in.KingChristiern's name" to demand the re-
bel 'Gustavus, who -he knew"1 was concealed under her
roof The'dauntless womati'never changed color, she im-
mediately guessed theriian whom her husband had in-
troduced as a miner's sbri'to be the Swedish hero. The
door was blocked up, by soldiers. .In unjinstant'she re-
plied) without once glancing "at'Gustavps, 'whe sat mo-
tionless with- surprise, ifvou mean the melancholy gent
leman my husband has had here'these two days, he has ,

the hill. Some of these soldiers may 'readily seize him,
ashe has nOjarmsr with .him." r
The officer.'not susectingjthe easy simplicity of her
manner, 'ordered part.'of his men to' go inquest, of . him.
At that moment, suddenlv turning- her eves on Gustavus:
she-flew up. to him, and catching the 'stick out:'bfhis
hand, exclaimed, in to 'angry ypicb, junmanherly wretch!
'What, sit .before your belters?, Dott't'you see the Thing's
'officers' in the room? 'Get out of' my' sight, or .some of
them shall jnve you a drubbing! As she spoke, she
'struck him a blow ontheback;with.allher strength; and,
opening! a side door, 'there,,etjnto,the scullery, cried.

thedoor. 'Sure, added she in agreat heat, 'nqver, woman
was plagued witlr such.a lout! of a slave!'
""The officer..begged she .would. not disturb herselfon.
his account, but she, affecting great reverence for the King,,
and respect for hisfrepresentalive; prayedJiim to enter her
parlor, while she brought some'refreshments. The Dane
civilly complie'd; perhaps, glad' enough to get from the
sido of a shrew; and she immediately flew to Gustavus
whom she'nad bolted in,'-'and'by; means of a back passage,
conducted him in a moment to the'bank'of the lake, where
the fishers'. boats lay, and giving htm a direction to an hon-
est curate across the lake, comrijiUed him to Providence.

Cruelty to Horses.-. A man was tried on Friday in the
Criminal Coutt.of Philadelphia.ibr over-loadiner a horse.
and. found guilty., 'The. facts of the. case were stated as
follows Alogoftimber,;about 33 feet long and 16. inches

animal harnessed, to it. HernoVed off about threehun-
dred yards, andthen stopped. The defendant commenced
whipping;him,.and he .made several efforts to .proceed, but
was unable. TheLwhip was applied to the legs of the ani-
mal until the blood run down copiously. Another- ani-
mal vas;at length, attached, andjthe wagon driven away.
While the defendant was in the act of beatingthe horse,
several citizens remonstrated against his conduct, but he
retorted with abusive- language only. They procured
his arrest on the spot, and he was immediately after bound
over fo' appear al court. The Attorney General stated
that there was no precedent, for-a; prosecution of the kind,
but that he had no doubt it-was an offence at'cqminon law,
in which opinion the Court concurred. Baltimore

A Man, rescued from ,a Tiger by a Lion. A Birr cor-
respondent of the Publin Post, dating Friday, says:
Since I came hear I have' heard, an anecdote of one of
Barry's Lions, which shows the sagacity of that noble ani-
mal in a remarkable point ofview ' Those who visited
Berry's menagerie in Dublin, will remember that he had
two' lions and a tiger .tamed together in the same cage, and
.whilst exhibiting ;at Roscre.a.few days ago, the keeper of
these animalsiWhilst in the cageiwith them, missed his foot
and, fell upon the tiger which was asleep at tho time. The
animal became enraged, and jumping up caught the un-
fortunate man by the thigh. A thrill of horror pervaded
the hundred of spectators, who were visiting the exhi-
bition at the time, and the man's destruction was dremed
inevitable, when to the inexpressible joy ,'as well as amaze-
ment of all present, ihe lion snized'the tiger by the neck,
'and caused it at once to relinquish its hold, whilst the
man was dragged out ,ot his cage bleeding in a dreadiui
manner. He was immediately placed under the care af
Dr. Tynam of this town, and is now quite recovered.
Dr. Spurzlieim, strolling through a church-yard in
France, perceived a grave-digger tosiing up the earth,
among which were two or three skulls. The craniolo-
gist took one up, and, after considering it a little time, said,
"ah, this .was the skull of a philosopher."

WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
' The following article "is .taken from a J number of the
Wi stminster Review. It cut's (the upper "classes of, Eng-
lish society, with rather too' much severity," for afternlhhat
has been-said by Churchill and other satirical 'poets, and
aftei all the declamation of the radical patty, there is one
poin t 'that. cannot be denied, to wit, that the English no-
bilitj r, generally 'speaking-, are as well, educated, as well
.infor med, and as richly endowed withthe gifts of nature,
as an y other class of men. It is a -fact, "too, ascertained
by thus- annals of the country, that the greatest military'com-
mand ers of England derived their origin' from the pala-
ces of the nobility. The greatest aduiirals, on the other
hand, have mostly had their birth in theipleb'eian or mid
dling- classes. This difference is accounted, for by the
pract ice which formerly prevailed of excludirigevery man
from the grade ofcommissioried.officer in the army who
was unable to purchase a commission, whilst'the road'to
prefr irment in the navy-wasopento all aspirants, wealthy
and poor, of noble and lowlv birth;
T .his satire of the Westminster Review is more appli-
cabli 2 to those who-wish to pass for an ar'istocracy-in'qur
own country, and who, in general, are without sense, tal
ents, or accomplishments of any kind.
I he annexed, passages are copied from, a Review of a
bool- : entitled "Thoughls.upon the -Aristocracy of Eng
land ," by Isaac Torankins.- Gent 5th edition.
O "f patrician taste in, literature and wit; of courts, cour
tiers vcourt-iesters, buffoonery, &c Mr. Isaac Tompkins
thus i speaketh; and his remarks will be lound not a little
ed"if ying' as well as'amusing.-
'-' That theirthe, Aristocracy's encouragement is con-
fine id to the vilest portion of the press, has long'ago.been
affi rmed, and is not denied. The respectable journals are
no favorite reading of' theirs. The newspaper that fear-.
less ily defends the right; that refuses to pander for the
her idlong passions of the multitude, or. cater for the vicious
api etite$ of the.selecter circles,.ahd does its duty alike re:
gai -dless'ot the hustings and. the boudoir; has little chance
of I .ying.on the satin-wood table,:'of being blotted .with un-
grr immatical illspelt.notes,vhalf bad English, half. worse
Fr ench, or of being-fondled by fingers that have just bro-
kei l a. goldrwax seal, on a grass-green paper. But:.more
esp ecially will it be excluded, possibly- .extruded, -from
tho se sacred haunts ofthe Corinthian order, if it convey
am i solid instruction upon a useful or important subject,
mt' resting to the species which the writers adorn, and the
pat .ricians do their best .to degrade. Even with the mbst
ref ined(finds no echo in such, minds; and if it be.used in
illi istrating an argumentor in pressing home thedemon-
str ation (whichjit often maybe,) the author isjeharged with
tre ating.a serious subject .lightly, ."and jesting where he
sbt ou!d reason. Broad humor,, descending 'to farce, is
thi utmost reach of their capacity; and. that is of no .value
in their eyes, unless it raises a laugh at a friend's expense.
So me who have. lived at .Court, and are.capablc of, better
thi ngs, say they carefullyeschav all jests; for princes take
su ch.things.as a personal. affroptr-as" raising the joker to
their ownt level,-byt calling pn.thenvto laugh'.with him.
Oi le kindof jest, indeed, never fails, to find favor in those
hi gh latitudes where the author is himself the subject of
th emerriment Buffoonery is a.denizen of aU courts, but
m ost commonly indigenous; and after the court's example
pa trician society is fashioned. ' It is not inthe.true.Aris-,
toi :ratic circles that anyone will adventure the, most harm-
le. is jest who would not pass for a jacobin or a, free-thinker.
He may make merry with the led .captain, or tho
huimble companion, -or possibly the chaplain-, (thoh. that
w. is rather in the olden time, before the FrenchWevolur
tio n had taught the upper orders' to, pay the homage rend-
er! jd by vice to virtue,; without acquiring piety dr,mor-
als;) Any other kind of wit rather. indicates, if tolerated,
tho it the adventurous individual has found, his way thither
fro m the lower latitudes of.the liberal party.' p. 19.
" 'Hypocricy thus described by a Prench writer,
wit,, anl n,obleman;' indeed a Duke; for. in France, where,
even under the absolute. monarchy, the claims of letters
and talents were .always admitted, the nobility cultivated
wi't add learning, ani were' a race infinitely superior to
ou r, own, in prop'ortion'as Iiteraryrmen were admitted into
thi iir society oamfooting of equality'."-
He.that attempts totcut with the bardcof a knife will
fai 1 in his object,, and cut his own fingers. The same
strength, .and patience that, rightlv applied, .would suffice
to loosen a knot, will, ifmisdirected only tighten it, Thus,
ra tional beings may be laid hold of the wrong way;- and
those who might have been useful are rendered mischiey-
ou s by calling into exercise their bad feelings and passions
in: stead of their best If you want to induce persons to do
an y good acticm, or to win them to goodness in general,
yem are much more likely, to" succeed by kindness than by
hairshness and reviling. .Even the worst of men, whom
neither threatenlngs. terrors, nor' inflictions could subdue.

are the Earl of Shelbourne, and John Wilkes.'the last of
wnomis, not undeservedly, given up to general contempt
and abhorrence. Of Wilkes, we have tie following
graphic portrait. Corsair.
"Though of good manners, and even a winning ad-
dress, bis personal appearance was so revolting as to be
hardly human. High birth he could n boast ; for his
father' was a respectable distiller in Gerk'ehwell. Of j
fortune he had but a' moderata' share.-and it- was all snent
before he became a candidate for popuar favor ; and his

qualities, of strict moral conduct, Tegular religious habits.

qualities which are generally Tetfuired of 'public men,
even' if more superficial accomplishments should be dis-
pensed with he had absolutely, nothing; and the most
flagrant violations of decency on moral as well as religi-
ous matters were committed, 'were Imown, were believed.
and were overlooked by tho multitude, in the person of
against one of his antagonistsa clerical gentleman, some
of these feelings of the Englih people in behalf of deco
rum, all which his' life was ast in openly violating. Of
the light, but very important accomplishments which fill
so promineut a place in he patriotic character, great
eloquence, and a strong-ani masculine style in writing, he
had but little. His compositions are more pointed than
nmverful: his witshinesfar morothnn hian.i:inn: nrlnw
and as a speaker, whci ho did speak, which was but
rarely, he showed indied some address, and much pre-
sence of mind; but nd1 foice, and produced hardlvanv
effect. Of his readiness, an 'anecdote is preserved, which
mav be worth relatirg. Mr. Luttrel and he were stand.
ing on the Brentfor hustings, when he asked his adver-
sary, privately, whrther he thought there were more fools
or rogues among he multitude of Wilkites spread out
before'them. ' I'l tell them what you say, andputan
end to' you,' saidthe colonel; but perceiving the threat
gavo Wilkes ni alarm, he added, "Surely you don't
mean to say thof you could stand here one hour after I
did so?' 'Why,' the answer was, 'you wold not be alive
one instant aftir." 'How so?' 'I should merely say it
was a fabrication, and they would dtstroy you in the
twinkling of an eye !' "
The Rejiewer allows that Wilkes possessed great
powers ofyvit and repartee; but this is hardly doing him
justice, forhe was by far the wittiest man of his age, per-
haps mojft so than any Englishman of whom wc have a
record. Foote was a cleverer buffoon, and Sheridan

Quarrels. One of the most' easy, the most common ,
most perfectly foolish things in the world, is to quarrel, no.
matter witn wnom, man, woman or child; or upon what
pretence, provocation, or' occasion whatsoever. There is
no kind of necessity of it, and.no species, or degree of ben-
efit to be gained by it; and yet, stfange as the fact may be,
theologians 'quarrel; and politicians, lawyers, doctorsund
princes quarrel," and the. State,quarrelsj the church quar-
rels and nations quarrel, and tribes, men, women andchil-
Idren, dogs and cat's, birds and beasts, quarrel about all

thing in the world will make a man feel bad, except
pinching his fingers in the crack of thedoor, it is unques
tionably a quarrel. No. man evor fails, to think less of
himself after, than he did before one; it degrades hnn in
his own eyes and in the eyes of others; and wiat is worse,
blunts his sensibility to disgrace on the one hand, and in-
creases the power of passionate irritability on the other.
The truth is, the more quietly and peaceably we all get'
on together, the better; the better for ourselves, and the
better for those around us. In nine cases ou often, the
wisest course is, if a man cheat you, to quit dealing with
him; if he is abusive, quithis company; if he slanders you,
take care to live so nobody will believe him. Nomot;
ter who, he is, or how he misuses you, the wisest wav is'
just to let hirn alone-' for ihcrr is nothing-better than "this
