Fate of the Worlds Great Captains.

The four conquerors who occupy the con.
spieruous places in the history Of the world
are Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and Bona
parte.
I Alexander, after having climbed the dizzy
heights of his ambition, with his temples
bound with chaplets dipped in the blood Of
millions, looked down upon conquered
world, and wept that there was no other world
to conquer, set city gu fire and died IN a
scene Of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION Of Rome, passed the
Alps, and put to flight the mistress Of the
armies of the world aud stripped "shree
bushels of gold from the fingers OF her
slaughtered Knights" and made her founda-
tions quake, fed from his country, being La
ted by those who cxuItingly united his name
to that Of their God and call him Hanni
Raal; and died at last by poison administer
cd bv his own hand, unlamented and unwept,
in foreign land
Caesar, after having conquered eight hum
dred cities, and dyeing his garments in the
blood Of million Of his foes, after having
pursued to death the only rival lie had on
earth, was nlseraby assassinated by those he
considered his nearest friends, and in the
very place the attainment Of his ambition
brought him.
Donaparte, after having filled the earth
with the terror Of his name, after having DEL
uged Europe in tears and blood, and having
clothed the world in sack-cloth, closed his
days in lonely Punishment, almost literally
cxiled from the world, yet where he could
sometimes sec his country's banner waving
over the despot, but which did not nor could
rot bring him aid.
