You'd expression, IN his own mind how many
hands, or rather how many set Of teeth it
took TO Go the chewing Of that ''tarnation big

! jaws wagged and the sharp teeth crushed.
1.-The pile Of chewed rags did not seem to grow
very fast and to add to the machines rising
feeling of Indignation, crowd began 10 gath
er round to witness the singular spectacle of
! a human opposition to the rag breakers, sha-
king the whole building from another depart

"Wha the tarnation are you gaFin' at -
at last exclaimed the rag-chewer through a
mouthful of rags in state Of mastication.-
''Drat We, thar is fifty rag splin' machines
like me up stairs, all in a bunch-why don't
you go up and see them -
The crowd looked very much delighted,
and expressed themselves highly pleased with
the performance.

THE END OF FOUR GREAT MEN.

The four great perSon who occupy the
most conspicuous places in the history of the
world, were Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, and
Bonaparte.
Alexander, after climbing the dizzy heights
of his ambition. and with his temples bound
withchaplets dipped in the blood of milliosn,
looked down upon conquered world, and
wept that there was not another world for
him to conquer-set city on fire and died
in scene Of debauch
Hannibal, after having, to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION of Rome, passed the
Alps, and having put TO flight the armies of
the mistress of the world, and stripped three
bushels ofgolden rings from the fingers of
her slaughtered knights and made her foun-
dations quake, fled from his country, being
hated by those who once un tied his name to
that of their gods, and called him HAM Baal,
and died at last by poison administered with
his own hand, unlaIneHted and unwept, in q
foreign land.
Caesar, after having conquered eight hun
dred cities. and dyeing his garments in tue
blood of one million of his foes; after having
pursued to death the only rival he had on
earth, was miserably assassinated by those
he considered his nearest friends and in that
very place the attainment Of which had beet
his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandates kings and popes
obeyed-atter having filled the earth with the
terror OF his name-after having deluged Eu-
rope with tears and blood, and clothed The
world in achcloth-closed his days in lonely
Punishment, almost literally exled from the
world, yet where lie could sometimes see his
country banner waving over the deep, but
which could not and did not bring him aid.
Thus, these four men. who seem to stand
the repres entatives of all those whom the
world call great-these four men, who each
10 turn made earth tremble, 10 its very centre
by their simple tread, severalIy died-one by
intoxication, or, was supposed, by poison
mingled ia his wine-One suicide-one muir
dered by his friends-and one a lone exile
How are the mighty fallen -
