appareOt between them. The lady
seemed willing and even desirous to
show her elf openly in. the crowd,
whereas her companion evidently
sought to -eep himself as much as pos-
sible out f the CO133111011 eye, and in
particular, to avoid the notice of the
qiteen, as she moved from place to
, place in. t e splendid, assembly. Ulti-
mately, t e yo-easg cavalier a,ppeared to
succeed in bending his. companion to
his wishes on this subject, and the pair
retired to he recess of one of the lofty
windows, where they commenced an
animated conversation, though in low
tones. , Young and light-hearted, and
possessing the spirited temperament of
their common country, with a full share
of its tura for raillery, they scanned
from their secluded nook the whole of
the vast assembly, and subjected eyery
one who aught their eyes to a Witty
but good- uneored review. ,
"Ah,l," aid the lady,. "look at that

betrayed some deeper interest in the
matter, said 'to her companion : "Apro-

STORY OF SWEDEN!
CHRISTINA. of Sweden,. only child
and successor to Gustavus Adolphus,
the Lion of , the .-Njorth, ana right arm,
as he was called, of the Prote,stant Faith,
,escencled the throne of her ancestors at
a very early age.. She was a woman of
considerable taents, but more remark-
able for energy of character, and an in-
domitable ; qualities which she in-
herlted from her father, and which her
position, as the Uncontrolled head of, an
almost absolute monarchy, nursed into
more than mascUline strength. Her
wilfulness disOayed itself in a rash,
though sotaetimesdn a generous way;
and in one of her fits of the latter kind,
ere she had advanced far in life, she
formally resigned her crown, for the
good, as she imagined, of her people.
The saorifice was soon -repented of, but
too late tor retrieval, and she spent her
latter days in retirement. It was this
extraordinary woman's leading wish,
when on the throne,. to be compared to
Elizabeth of England, and she imitated
that princess even in her eold-hearted
and unworthy coq„uetriesee Hereby
hangs the 'We we have now to tell.
The young q`been of Sweden gave a
naag,nificent.fete or, masquerade in her
palace at Stockholm. This fete had a
peculiar character,- and one which
.deubled its splendor and attractioas,
while exhibiting, at the same time, the
ruling foible of the heroine pf the
uorth. Christina wished, for one night,
to have the pleae;ttre of openly and ex-
pressly -bearing the character of the
English .princesss and to resuscitate
around her all -that was brilliant aad
distiaguishecl at the court of her Model.
For this purpose she had given orders
that her o ten courtiers should _assume
for the time the characters of the vari-
ous men of 'note in Etizabeth's reign,
and, - in particular cases, she conferred
on individuals the honor of assigning
to them the parts they were to play.
This was rather a delicate poiat, it
Must be remembered, for -such parte
as those of Essex and Leicester had , a
sigaificance ,;attached to them which
could not escape remark. Any old
statesraa,n might play Burleigh, as
easily as is done in Mr. Puff's famous
drama; but fio common man durst as-
sume ther;character of either of the two
noblemen before mentioned. A, mo-
dest aspirant fir royal fa-vor, however,
might_venture on the garb of a Raleigh,
and mo.4. than one ypung,courtier did
appear in -`the guise of Sir Walter on
this brilliant evening. The Swedish
queen waS_ delighted with the result of
her project. A strict etiquette had
been established for the regulation of
costume,' and in order to give a better
rule ef guidance • in this particular,
Christina had been at the pains to send
for portraits of all the principal person-
ages to be represented. Thus the Veri-
similitude of the scene was rendered
perfect.,
.Among the individuals who attratted
meat interest on this occasion, by their
appearanceand manners, were a young
-cavalier dird• ,en elegant woman, who
kept much beside one another during
the evening. They were both. distin-
gnished for the high -bred ease and grace
of their roovernents, and this circum-
stance alone, independently of the lan-
guage in which they spoke to each
ask of your excellency," said she, "un-
der the seal of secrecy,"
'-Your majesty has but to speak,"
said the diplomatist gravely, "and I
shall be proud to obey you to the ut-
most of rey power." •
"I. assure you," returned the queen,
"your power will not be severely taxed
at present. It is but a trifle—a baga-
telle—that I am interested about just
now ; but I think you are - the only,
person who can gratify my wish. I del
sire but to know who and what a cer-
tain Parisian lady is, who bears the
name of Madame Laura 1"
"Madame Lanra--Madame Laura. !"
rejoined the ambassador, turning hiS
eyes on the ground.
"Yes, Madame Laura," said the
queen impatiently; "does your excel-
lency know her 1"
Upon the diplomatist avouching that
he never in his life had heard of such a
lady, Christina tapped the ground
restlessly with her foot, and appeared'
annoyed. "Then your excellency,"
said she at length, with an imperious
'voice, "will have the goodness to fa-
vor me by finding out the lady. Let
an express set out for Paris this night,
and return without a moment's delay
with full details respecting the position
and character of this Madame Laura."
The arn.bassador bowed respectfully,
and retired to give inrmediate orders to
a courier to proceed on this extraordi-
nary
It has been said that the queen of
Sweden imitated, or at least resembled,
Elizabeth in her fashion of coquetting
with scene favored noble of her court.
The personage on whom, at the date of
our story, the favor of Christina seemed
to have fallen WatS that. young French-
man, who, exiled for political reasons
from his own .country, had come to

service. The %teen received him with
peculiar marks of distinction, gave him
a, conimission in her life -guards, and
conducted herself towards him. alto-
gether, in such a manner as woold have
given even a very modest man reason
to believe himself an object of mai ked
regard. To a young man of twenty-
five, bold and ambitious, such a con-
viction was likely to be flattering and
seductive. We 'cannot say theta was
