The End OF Four Great Men.

The four conquerors who occupied
the most conspicuous places in tho
history of the world are Alexander,
Hannibal, Cesar and Bonaparte.
Alexander after climbing the dix,
~ heights of his ambition, with his
temples bound with chaplots dipped
in the blood of millions, looked down
upon world and wept that there
was not another world for him to
conquer-sct a city on FIRE; and died
in u state of debauch,
Hannibal, after having to the az
constituent and CONSERVATION Of
Rome, passed the Alps, after having
put to tlightthe armies OF the mistress
Of the world and stripped the "three
bushels Of COLE rings off tho fingers
Of 'lsc sinrghtered 'knights,p and
made her foundations quake, fed
from the country, hated by those who
once exultingly united his name to
that of their god, and who called him
Hani Haal. Hannibal died at last by
poison administered with his own
hand, unlamented and unwept in a
foreign land.
Caesar, having conquered eight
hundred cities--0fter dyeing his gar
mcnts in the blood of more than one
nation of his foes, after having pur-
sued to death the only rival he had
on earth, was miserably assassinated
by those he considered the nearest
friends and in that very place the
of which had been his
greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings
and popes observed, having filled the
world with the terrors of his name
after having deluged Europe with
tears and blood, and clothed the world
with sackcloth-closed his eyes in
lonely banishment, almost Utterly
exiled from the world, yet where he
could sometimes SEQ his country's
banner waving over the departing
vessels that did not and could not
give him aid.

Practical Joking.

Friday night a smart young man
who lives out on Maple Street, found
toad hopping around in the gar
den, and thought il would be a capi-
tai joke to put it in the table draw
or aud let it hop out suddenly and
scare his wife. Before he could close
the drawer he was called into an ad.
joining room, and forgot all about the
toad, which during the night, hop
ped out on the Aoor and crawling
into a vacant boot passed a very
pleasant night, The next morning
the house was Mortified by shrieks Of
masculine distress, and an old wo.
man on the other side Of the street,
going home from market, was knock
ed into the middle of the next week
by flying boot that came through
a front window. The smart man
drank pint of whisky to settle his
nerves and said this custom of play
ing practical jokes was as dangerous
rs it was foolish, and if ever. he
caught anybody fooling around his
boots again with tOads or anything
else, he would teach them a salutary
lesson. Burlington Hapkeyc.

AGOod Temperance Tale.

From Ohio comes capital tenn
perancestory. Judge Quay, the tenn
perance lecturer, in one Of his effort
there, got off the following;
"All those who in youth acquire
the habit of drinking whiskey, a
forty will be total abstainers Of
drunkards. No one can use whisky
for years in moderation. If there il
a person in the audience before mt
whose experience disputes this, lei

for it or acknowledge that am mis-
taken"

"How long have you drank mod

"Forty years"

"Never,"

ming his subject close from head to
foot, %syours is a singular case, yet ]
think itcan be easily accounted for
lam reminded of it by little story.
"a negro man with a loaf of bread
and a flask of whiskey, sat down to
dine by the bank of a clear stream.
In breaking the bread some Of the
crumbs fell into the water, They
were Immediately seized and eaten
by the fish. That circumstance sug-
gested to the darkey the idea of dip.
ping the bread into whisky and feed
ing it to them. He tried it-itwork-
IA we'll. Some of the fish ate it, be-
cane drunk and lay helpless on the
water By this stroke of strategy, he
caught a great number. But in the
stream was large fish very unlike
ne rest, it partook freely of the
bread and whisky, but with no per-
ceptible effect, and was shy of every
Bfertofthe darkey, to take it. Here
solgpd to have it at all hazards, that
he night learn its name and nature.
He produced a net, and, after much
effort caught it. Carried it to a ne
gro heighbpr and. asked his opinion

veyed the wonder for o moment and
then said
"sambo, l understan' dis case
Dat fish is mullet head-it hain't got
any brains"
I'm other words" added the Judge,
alcohol effects only the brain, and of
course those having none can drink
without injury"
The storm oflaughter that follow
ed, drove the moderate drinker sud
denly from the house.

With time and patience the mul,
berry leaf becomes satin. What diff,
ficulty is there at which a man
should quail, when worm can ac-
complish SO much from leaf.
A man who covers himself with
costly apparel and neglects his mind,
is like one who illuminates the out
side of his house and sits within in
the dark.
Ignorance and deceit aretwo of the
worst qualities to combat. It's vast
ly easier to dispute with a states
man than a blockhead.
If we would have powerful minds,
we must think; if we would have
faithful hearts, we must love; if we
would have strong muscle, we must
labor. These.include all that is val
nahle in life.
