Tie End of Great Men.

Happening TO cast my eye upon some

four personages who occupied the most
conspicuous places were Alexander, Han

The same unnumbered times before, but
never did the sensation arise in my bosom,
as my friend hastily glanced over their
several histories.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy heights Of ambition, and with his
temples bonnl with chaplets, dipped in
the blood Of countless nations, looked
down a conquered world, and wept that
there was not another world to conquer

armies Of this "mstress Of The world

from the fingers Of her slaughtered knight:
and made her very foundation quake; was
hated by those who exutingly united his
name to that of their God, and called him
"Hanni Baal," and died at last by poison
administered by his own hand, unlament.
ed and unwept in foreign land.
Cesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyed his garments in
the blood of one million of his foes, after
having pursued to death the only rival he
had on earth, was miserably assasinated
by those he considered his nearest friends
and at the very place, the attainment o
which had been the greatest aim oi his
ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandates kings and
priests obey after having filed the earl
with the terror Of his name, and after
having deuged Europe with tears anC

closed his days in lonely banshment, al
most exiled from the world, yet where hC
could sometimes see his country's banner
waving DER the deep, but which would

Thus these four men who, from the pc

to stand AS representatives Of all those
whom the world calls "great' these
four who severally made the earth trem-

intoxication, the second by suicide, the

One smile on the brown hills ard naked trees.

And the blue gentiun flower that in the breeze
Mods lonely, of its beauteous race the last.
Yet few sunny days, in which the bee
Shall murmur by the hedge that skirts the way

And man delight to linger in the ray
Yet one rich smile, and we will try to bear

IT'S SWEET TO BE REMEMBERED
ny JAMES O. CLARK.

o! It's sweet to be remembered
In the merry days Of youth,
While the world seems full Of brightness,
And the soul retains its truth
When our hopes are like the morning bear
That hush along the seq,
And every dream we know Of life
Is ore Of purity;
'Tis sweet to be remembered
As the spring remembers earth,
Spreading roses in our pathway,
Filling oil our hearts with mrth.
Oh It's sweet 10 be remembered
In the summer time Of life,
Ere we reach the burning summit,
With our weightuf woe and strife,
To look backward thro' tho shadows
Where our journey first begun,
And the golden flowers Of memry
Turn their faces to the sun;
'Tis sweet to be remembered
AS the breeze remembers dny--
Floating upward from the valley,
Ger the pilgrims weary wny.
Oh tits sweet to be remembered
When our life has lost its bloom
And every morning sun we meet
May leave us at the tomb;
When our youths half forgotten,
And we gnzo with yearnings fond,
From a world where all are dying.
To the dealhless world beyond;--
'Tis sweet TO be remembered
AS the stars remember night,
Shining downward thro' the darkness,
With pure and holy light

A Curious STATE OF THINGs.-We publish
ed brief communication from A. d. Banks
Esq, yesterday morning, concerning the re-
moval by Mr.. Buchanan of Mr.. Faran, late
Postmaster, of Cincinnati. This removal has
been for a long time threatened, on the
ground that Mr. F., as editor of the Cincin.
natl Enquirer, was supposed to be devoted
to the Presidential interests of Douglas. 1t
seems, however, from Mr.. Banks letter that
Mr.. F. has not been the editor of that paper
for some months-but that Mr. Banks him
self has filled that post. Mr.. B. was former.
ly editor of the Southside (Va.) Democrat. in
which positionhe earned wide reputation
for ability, controversial courtesy, and as an
ultra advocate of the extreme doctrines of the
state right school. He is now zealouslv de-
voted to the interests ofMr Douglas, and has
given corresponding character to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. 1t is little Singular that
Mr. Faran should be punished for his sins -
but probably as Buchanan cound devise no
way of reaching the real offender, he visited
his wrath upon his immediate predecessor.
This is new kind of vicarious punishment.

In postscript to another letter, dated Slst
October the same writer gives the following
additional:
Nothing further has occurred regarding
the ST. Marys. Things are in the same con-
dition. An interview between the Governor
ann the Captain is at this moment on foot
We cannot anticipate the result.
