The End of -Four. Great Men.

The four 'eonquerors who occupyl
the most conspicous place in the his
tory of the world are Alexander
Hannibal, Cesar and Bonaparte. ~ T
Alexander, after having climbed;
the dizzy heights of his iabition, with
his temple bound with chaplets, Dip:
ped in the blood of millions, looked
down upon conquered world, and
wept that there was no other world
Tor him to conquer, set a. city on fire.,
and died in scene of debauch.. =;
Hannibal, after having, to the aston
ishment and CONSERVATION of Rome,
passed the Alps, and 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
foundations quake, fled from his coun-
try, being hated by those who once,ex-
ultingly united his name to that of
their god, and called him Hani-Ball;
and died at last by poison admipisfers
ed with his own had, unlamented and
unwept, in q foreign land. ...,,.z .a.a,

the only rival he had on earth, was

very place the attainment of which
had been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandates kings
and popes obeyed5 after having filed
the earth with the terror of his name,
after having delnged Europe with tears !,
and blood, and clothed the world in
sackcloth, closed his days IN lonely
banishment, almost literally exiled
from the world, yet where he could !.

Thus these four great men, who
seemed to stand the representatives of
all those whom the world calls great.

GROWING OLD.

We're growing old !. How oft with smiles
These meaning words we say,
: Before the cheek its bloom has lost,
Before the hair is grayI
The last sands in the hour-glass
Look golden in the sun;
And bright the ling'Iing moments seem
When youths bright day is done.
We're growing old VIII time e'er come
When our bright dreams will be
All lost upon the past's dim shore
Like bright waves of the sea,
/ Whose raiRbows spanned the gloom around
With light, which nevermore
I Will dazzle us when they are wrecked
On dim and distant shore?
Once, when child, dreamed 1 trod
The brown shore of the sea,
And every footprint that / left
Showed something bright to me
Some rosy shell whose whisperings
heard-or snow-white pearls
gathered like fair buds to weave
As wreath for flying curls.
/ cared not that the sands were hot,
As close beside the sea
Each footprint made an oasis
Where flowers grew for me.
To-day my childish dream comes back
The brown shore by the main
Which once trod with tiny feet,
But may not tread again.
Though life seems like the barren shore,
With sands all dry and hot,
Oh, say, is there step we take
Where some sweet joy is not?
If we would odener forget
The pains, its joys would spring
Tin fasf nc tho white -buds T wova
In my imagining.
And blessings which o'errun our path
Would light and beauty fling;
And shining hopes come (like the shells)
With their sweet whispering.
Then when the shade-of gloomy years
Across our face were flung, ~
While lips said ''we are growing old"
Hearts would be growing youngl
