.ANECDOTE

The dialogue between Pyrrhus King of
Epirus and Cineas his prime minister is full
OF instruction, and sets forth the restless spirit
of man: .What, Sir, do you propose IA this
expedition against the Romans !" says
Chineas "To conquer ali Italy, answers
Pyrrhus g And what next :" says the, coun-
sellor: " Then we will transport our forces
into Sicily, and make that Kingdom our own"
replied his majesty" And what expedition will
you go on after that :" F." Them adds the en-
terprizing hero wen sail to Africa, and sub
due that part of the world" And what" con-
tinues tie statesman, remains to be done
them" "NVhv then--thcn,," says the monarch,
" We will sit down and be merry over our
bowls" " And what answers MS minister,
" hinders us from doing that now"

.Aiesson from .incient History.

Polybius. an ancient Grecian and celebrated
historian, drew the following contrast between
the Grecians and Romans; both of them repub-
lcan nations. "Among the Greeks, if Single
talent only be entrusted to those who have the
management of any of the public money; tho
they give ten written securities, with as many
seals, and twice as many witnesses they are
unable to discharge the trust reposed in them
with integrity. But the Romans, OH the other
hand, who in the course of their magistrates
and embassies disburse the greatest sums, are
prevailed on by the single obligation of an
oath to perform their duty with inviolable
integrity"
These opposite traits Of character, mention
ed by Poiyblus, deeply affected the destinios
OF those two nations, SO celebrated in antique
ty. The Greeks were republicans of high me-
tai, bold and valourous la the field; but were
avaricious, and lacked integrity. They had
little regard to their promises or even to their
oaths, where their own private interest Was
concerned. They loved liberty and their cou.l-
try much, but loved money more. This rad
ical fault proved their ruin. Philip king of
Macedon opened for himself passage to the
heart of many Grecian patriot, by means of
golden keys. He privately distributed large
sums OF money among the bawling demagogues
of that day, and, -thereby bringing them into
his interest, soon made himself master of
Greece.
Whereas the romans who exceeded the
Greeks neither in bravery nor in love of liber-
ty, and did not half equal them in knowledge
OF the arts and sciences; supported their re-
publican institutions (such as they were) for
series of ages and centuries: and this was
owing In very great measure to their politl-
Cal integrity. No nation else upon earth has
been perhaps SO remarkable for fearing an
oath and for inviolab.e fidelity in matters of
public trust, as the Romans were in the best
days OF their commonwealth. THIS was the
foundation of their greatness and OF the du-
r.oih.y OF their political institutions; nor was
it TIL ter they had become deeply corrupted
with love of money and with luxury, and had
lost their character for integrity, that they sub
mitted to tine yoke of a despot.
1t Is hardly necessary to ask which of those
two nations, the Greeks or the Romans, is
most nearly resembled by the United States of
America.
