The Way -Four Great:NGen End
ed Their Earthly Careers.

1t is a remarkable fact that the
career of four of the most renowned
characters that ever lived closed with
some violent or mournful death.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambition, and with
chaplets dipped in the blood of count
less nations, looked down upon u con-
quered world, and wept that there was
not another one for him to conquer, set
a city on fire, and died in u scene of
debaueh.
Hannibal, after having, to the aston
ishment 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 her slaughtered
knights, and made her foundations
quake, fed from his native country,
and died at last by poison, admins
tered by his own hands, unlamented,
unwept, in a foreign land.
Caesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities and dyed his hands in
the blood of one million of his foes ; af-
ter having pursued to death the only
rival he had on earth, was miserably
a~ssassinated by those he considered his
nearest friends, and in that very place
the attainment of which had been bis
greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed, after having filled
the earth with the terror of his name,
deluged it with tears and blood, and
clothed the world with sackcloth, clo'
sed his days in lonely Punishment, al
most literally exiled from the world,
yet where he could sometimes see his
country's banner waving over the deep
but which could not or would moi
bring him aid.
Thus four men, who seemed to stand
as the representatives of those whom
the world called great-those four who
each in turn, made the earth tremble
to its very centre by their simple tread
seyerally died-one by i9~toxication, or,
as some suppose, by pois Rn mingled in
his wine-one a suicideNAne murdered
by his old f~riends-and DEE in @pnely
| exile.
