touching story or"Virginius and his daush-
ter"
The conspiracy of Catalina was defeated
through the disgust of Fulvia with her low
or, Curtius; when he could no longer heap
presents upon her. Curtius. who was one
OF the conSpirators, had, ''in a moment of
confidence" told the plot TO Fulvia, who
spread 1t abroad 1t soon reached the cars
Of Cicero, who discovered il TO the senate :
Catalina fled from Rome, and took up arms
he was Observation-Disclosures battle en-
sued, in which he was killed, and thus
Rome was saved by the betrayal Of a NO
mans secret from one olthe most powerful
combinations ever formed for the overthrow
Of the Roman state. The uglineSs Of ano-
Their fulya was the cause OF n civil war
between Anthony and Octnvins: for Octa-
vius, rejecting the suit of Fulvia. and declar-
ing that her uglincsS terrified him more than
death, the indignant woman led the Roman
soldiers against him, and set the two Iri-
umviri fighting.

there after his departure, took mp the paper

walked through tie street: the child was
met by woman, who, taking the docu-
ment out of his hand. found it TO he the SEN
tcnco of her OWN death, as wen as Some
other persons; they together saved their
own lives by first poisoning and then stran-
Cling the imperial tyrant.
Belsarius, one of the greatest captains in
history, after having conquered the PeIsi-
ans, and subducd Africa and Italy, was de-
