A LESSON FOR MONARCHS.

During his march to conquer the world,
Alexander, the Macedonian, came to people
in Africa, who dwet in remote and secluded
corner, in peaceful huts, and knew neither war
nor conqueror. They led him to the hut Of
their Chief, who received him Hospitality, and
placed before him golden dates, golden figs, and
bread of gold. 'Do you eat gold in this cOun-
try?" said Alexander. 81 take II for granted,
ireplied the Chief that thou vert able TO find
eatabes in thine own country. For what req
| son then art thou come amongst u.s." "louF
gold has nottem2'ed me hither," said AIexan'
der, "but would become acquainted with your
manners and customs" $50 be it," reJoned
the other, "sojourn among US as long as 1t pleas
eth thee?" AT the close of this conversation
two citizens entered, as into their court OF JUS
tice. The plaintiff said, 81 bought OF this man
piece of land, and as was. making deep
drain through it, found treasure. This
not mine, forI only bargained for the land, anu
not for any treasure that might be conccaItu
beneath it; and yet the former owner oil Inc
land will not receive it " The defendant al,
swered, 81 hope have conscience, as wen a.
my fellow citizen sold him the land, WIN
all its contingent as well as existing adVan'a,
ges, and consequently the treasure incusve,!'
The Chief, who was also their supreme Jua g.
recapitulated their words, in order that the par,
ties might see whether or not he understood
them Alright. Then after some rehecuon :, h'
said, "thou hast son, friend, believe!
yes" And thou addressing the other) q
daughter?" ayes" "Well, then, let thy SOL
marry thy daughter, and bestow the treaSu'S
on the young couple, for marriage portion
Alexander seemed surprised and perpeW!oc
"Think you my sentence unjust?' the C ,,h,'
asked him: 80 no." replied Alexander; ''oui
il astonishes me-" Sand how, then" reJoHFIi
the Chief, "would the case have been de''a'"
in your country" "To confess the ruin,
said Alexander, eve should have taken oO'n
parties into custody, and have seized the ues
sure for the Kings use." "For the kng
use!" exclaimed the Chief, "Does the sun SHINE
on that country?"-"O yes" "Does !, l'".
there" -"Assuredly." Wonderful! But Al"
there tame animals in the country, that 1--we %
the grass and green herbs!'' "Very many an NV
of many kinds" Gay, that must then DC w.
cause" said the Chief; "for the sake OF 'noso
innocent animals, the all gracious Being coz

down on your own country, since It's lnhaol'a"'-

No candid man can think doub, the popularity
