Mournful Close Ofthe Career OF Four
World Heroes,


It is q remarkable fact that the career
Of four of the most renowned characters
that ever lived closed with some mourn
ful and violent death:
Alexander, after having climbed to the
dizzy heights Of ambition, and, with his
temple bound with chaplets dipped in the
blood of countless nations, looked down
upon a conquered world, and wept that
there was not another city for him to con-
quer, set a city on fire, and died in a scene
OF debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION Of Rome, passed
the Alps, after having put to flight the
armies of the mistress Of the world, and
stripped three bushels Of gold rings from
the fingers of her slaughtered knights,
and made her foundation quake filed
from his country, being chased by one Of
those who exultingly united his name to
that of tod, and callcd him Hanni Baal,
died at last by poison administered by
his own hand-unlamcnted, unwept in u
foreign land.
Caesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyed his clothes in
the 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 been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obcyed, after having filled the
earth with the terror of his name, dclugcd
with blood, and clothed the world with
sackcloth, closed his days in lonely ban
iShmcnt-almoSt literally exilcd from the
world, yet where he could sometimes sec
his country's banner waving over the
deep, but which could not or would not
bring him aid.
Thus four great men, who, from the
peculiar situation oCtheir portraits, seemed
to stand the representatives of all whom
the world calls great-those four, who
each in turn made the earth trcmble to its
center by their simple tread, severally
died-one by intoxication, or some sup
pose by poison mingled in wine; one q
suicide; one murdered by his friends and
one in lonely exile.
The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-10-03

TIE CHARM OF BEING WoMAN.-A
certain young lady of respectable con-
nections" says she is glad she is not n
man. Says she: "Yes, despite the ad-
vantages of long leather boots, the highly
estimated privilege Of voting for Fernan-
do Wood or Paddy Punchcm, and the
convenience Of being able to fly down the
street ut the rate of q mile minute, with
out occasioning remark, still reiterate-
I'm glad that I'm NOT q man-very glad,
indeed Men have great deal to answer
for. When I think of the weight upon
the conscience Of any one of them, alb.
solutely tremble. Men do oil the electing.
Women have nothing to do, thank good
ness with placing persons Of small mind
and no mOralsIin offices requiring grave
thought and perfect uprightness Of prir-
ciple. Men take such offices without a
thought Of anything but salary or per-
Quisites. Men sit on jurics in cases Of life
and death, and half the time without any
evidence to speak Of, decide, because they
must decide or remain in durancc that
the poor wretch is guilty. Another man
(oh! horrible, shameful arrogation of the
powers Of DeityD pronounces upon his
felow.man sentence Of death. Other men
build for him q scaffold, and another, in
the likeness of a man, murders him in the
presence Of men who countcnancc the act
| am woman, only woman, unlcarned
in the laws or ethics. but here declare
that it is my earnest, solemn opinion, that
he who assists in the condemnation of a
fellow:m TO death, whether, Judge, ju-
rylnan or sheriff. will find his name writ
ten in the book of judgment beside that
Of the man he sent before his time into
eternity. l would not be man with that
terrible weight upon my conscience, for
all the world could give"

As the heavens SO are our lives-some-
times fair, sometimes overcast, tcmpestu-
Gus, and then serene-calm. Or like a
rose; life has its flowers, but also its pric
kles. Life may be compared to fine
summer and hard winter, drOuth, then
pleasant showers.
The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-10-03

MEN who are really most fond of the
ladies-who cherish for them the truest
respect-are seldom the most popular with
the sex. Men of great assurance, whose
tongues arc lightly hung, who make words
supply the place of ideas, and place COM
plilnents in the room Of sentiment, are the
iavorites. A due respect for women leads
to respectful action towards them, and re-
spect is mistaken by them for neglect or
want of love.
