The End Of Four Co. men-

The four great personages who occupy
the most conspicuous places in the history
OF the world, are Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar and Bonaparte
Alexander. after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambition, and with his
temples bound with chaplets dipped in the
blood Of countless millione, looked dow8
upon conquered world, and wept tba.

Hannibal, after having, to the astonisb-
ment and CONSERVATION of Rome. passed
the Alps, and having put to fight the ar-
mics Of the mistress of the world, and
stripped ''three bushels of golden rings
from the fingers of the slaughtered
knights" and made her foundation quake,
fed from his country, being hated BY those
who once exaltingiy united his name to
that of their god, aud called him Hina
Baal. and died al last by poison admins
tered with his own hand, unlamented and
unwept in foreign land.
Caesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyeing his garments
in the blood of one million of his foes. af-
ter having pursued to death the only rival
he had on earth, was miserably assassnst-

friends and in that verJ place the attain

From the Waterman and Reflector.
Two centuries ago It was thought an in
suit in the Highlands Of Scotland to ask a
note from debtor. It was considered the
same as saying. Il doubt your honor
If parties had small business matters to
transact together. they stepped out into
open air. fixed their eyes upon the heavens,
aud each repeated his obligation with no
mortal witness. 4 mark was then carved
in some rock or tree near by, to be a re-
membFanee of the compact. Such thing
as breach of contract, we ars told, was
then very rarely met with so highly did
the people regard their honor, and so tru-
ly did they fear Him beneath whose eye
they performed these acts.

was cheerfully granted, and Mr.. Stewart
counted out the gold on his library table.
This done. the farmer took pen and wrote
a receipt, and offered it to the gentleman.

How TO GET AN EDUCATION.-BOys say
often, 'we want an education, but we are
poor, and can't get it; 50 we are going to
learn trade, or 60 into a store; or DO
something else" Now let me say, every
boy that wants an education if be will bend
his force to il, can get just as good one
as he wants. The way is open. Educa-
ton does not come through academies and
colleges and seminaries these are helps /;
but comes by study and reading and com
pairing. All the schools aud colleges aud
seminaries in the world will not make
scholar of a man without these and with
them man will be one if he never sees a
college. The same is true of girls, and
what is true of this, is true ofany other

Failure of Emperor NapoIeon's Plan

NEW YORK, Dec. 1G.-The Herald's
Paris special of last evening, says 1t has
been definitely ascertained that the
European conference plan proposed by the
Emperor Napoleon on the Roman ques-
tion has failed. The assemblage was to
have taken place in Menuich on the 9th,
but some difficulty was experienced in the
diplomatic correspondence before the day
arrived. Paris was then spoken of. The
form of representation was changed, but
some day was adhered to subsequently,
after the delivery of a speech by Minister
Rouher, on the subject of the relations be-
tween Rome and Italy, in which he de-
ciared that ltaly could never go TO Rome
by force. The hesitancy of the powers
assumed the form of open objection, on the
ground of inability. 1t has been ascer-
tanned to-day, that the conference or Con-
gress will not assemble, as all the great
powers have positively refused to attend
