A ROMANS WORD.

The story of Regulus shows how a
Roman could die rather than break a
promise. Regulus was the Roman general
and was making war against the people
OF Cart hage, when he was taken prisoner.
For five years the Cart haginians kept him
shut up. and the war still went on.
At length the people of Carthage grew
tired of fighting. SO they sent mes
sengers to Rome to ask for peace, and,
fearing that the Romans would not grant
it, they sent Regulus with them, but
made him promise to return to his prison
if the Romans should not agree to their
request.
The generals of Carthage knew that his
countrymen would be likely to follow the
advice of so wise man as Regulus, and
they thought he would ask his friends to
put an end to the war. For if the
Romans agreed to peace, Regulus was to
be free man, and need not go back to
Carthage.
Now, since Regulus was worn out and
ill from his long captivity, his enemies
were right in thinking that he must pine
for freedom. But, dearly as he loved his
liberty, Regulus loved his country even
more, and he saw that it was not best for
the Romans to make peace at that time,
when the people of Carthage were so
anxious for it.
He had made up his mind to tell his
friends not to listen to the words OF the
messengers who came with him. So
when they reached the gates of Rome, he
would not go in, but sent word for the
senate to come out and hear his message.
When the Roman leaders came out to
see him, Regulus told them that their
enemies were tired OF the war and wanted
to put an end to it. But he advised the
Romans not to agree to the plan.
"But, Regulus, what will become of
your" asked senator. "Do not think
of me-" replied the brave man. 81 am to
go back to prison if l fail to make peace,
but am an old man, and it matters little
what: becomes of me. Do what is best
for Rome-refuse to make the peace"
The Romans did not wish to allow
Regulus to go back to Carthage, but he
was firm. He would not even see his
wife. and children, for fear that their
tears.might make him break his word.
SO the senate yielded at last, and told
the messengers that they should keep up
the war till Carthage was destroyed.
Regulus kept his word. He returned
to his enemies with this answer. The
people of Carthage We're so angry when
they knew " hat he had done, that they
put the brave old man to a cruel deaf h,
but Regulusswill always be remembered
as a man who would rather die than
break his word.

REGULUS TO THE ROMAN SENATE.
III does it become me, o senators of
Rome! i'll does it become Regulus, after
having so often stood in this venera BILE
assembly clothed with the supreme
dignity of the republic, to stand before
you a captive-the captive of Carthage!
Though outwardly l am free, though no
letters cucumber the limbs, or gall the
flesh, yet the heaviest of chains, the
pledge of a Roman consul, makes me
the bondsman of the Carthaginians.
They have my promise to return to them,
in the event of the failure of this their
embassy. My life is at their mercy. My
honor IS my own; possession which no
reverse of fortune can leopard; a flame
which imprisonment cannot stite, time
cannot dim, death cannot extinguish.
OF the train of disasters which followed
close on the uneXamped successes of our
arms, of the bitter fate which swept off
the flower of our soldery, and consigned
me, your general, wounded and senseiess,
to Cart haginian keeping, will not speak.
For five years a rigorous captivity has
been my portion. For five years, the So
ciety of family and friends, the dear
amenities of home, the sense of freedom,
and the sight OF country, have been to
me recollection and dream, no more!
But during that period Zone has re-
trieved her defeats. She has recovered
under Metellus what under Regulus she
lost. She has routed armies. She has
taken unnumbered prisoners. She has
struck terror to the hearts of the Car
thaginians, who have now sent me hither
with their am bassadors, to sue for peace,
and to propose that, in exchange for me,
your former consul, a thousand common
prisoners of war shall be given up. You
have heard the am bassadors. Their in
timations of some unimaginable horror -
/ know not impending over myself
should | fail to induce you to accept their
terms, have strongly moved your SYM
pathies in my behalf. Another appeal,
which l would you might have been
spared, has lent force to their suit. A
wife and children, threatened with
widowhood and orphanage, weeping and
despairing, have knelt at your feet, on
the very threshold of the senate chambe
Conseript fathers, Shall not Regulus be
saved? Must he return to Carthage to
meet the cruelties which he am bassadors
brandish before our eyes? With one
voice you answer, mol Countrymen!
Friends, For all that | have suffered
for all that l may have to suffer- am re-
paid in the compensation of this moment!
Unfortunate, you may hold me; but, o,
not undeserviug! Your confidence in
my honor survives all the ruin that ad-
verse fortune could inflict. You have
not forgotten the past. Republics are
not ungrateful! May the thanks l cam
not utter bring down blessings from the
| gods on you and Rome
Conscript fathers! There is but one
course to be pursued, Abandon all

worn, fever wasted frame, this weed,

Indians, who were unfriendly, and were
planning to attack him. He knew that
there would soon be an eclipse of the
moon, and he resolved to brighten the
simple natives, and thus obtain the
needed food So he sent this word to the
chiefs: "The Great Spirit is angry be-
cause you will not help mel"
The Indians laughed at the message,
but he sent another: "You will see the
moon fade away. The Great Spirit will
cover it up and make it all dark"
The chiefs laughed again But when
night came, and the full moon rose,
round and red, the Indians saw shadow
beginning to creep slowly over it.
"A dragon is eating up the moon."
they cried; and they threw themselves in
terror upon the ground.
Then Columbus sent the chiefs a third
message: "rhe Great Spirit will forgive
you and save the moon if you will send
us food
"We will send it," said the chiefs.
They sent baskets filled with yams and
potatoes and fruit. There was food
ooS
and the vessels Of Columbus were driven
upon the shore and wrecked. 1t would
be impossible ever to leave this place
unless some ship should happen to sail
along the coast. One day two vessels
| were seen far off at sea. A fire was built,
and those on board the ships, seeing the
smoke, brought their vessels to land and
| took Columbus and his men on board.
Very soon after this Columbus returned
| again to Spain, never more to revisit the
New World.
On the Goth Of May, 1905, Christopher
Columbus, old and very poor, died at
| Valladolid. 1t was now thirteen years
since the discovery OF San Salvador. The
islands which at that time were the
happy homes of simple hearted people
! had been overrun and all their happiness
destroyed by the cruel Spaniards. Thous-
ands of the Indians had been killed, and
other thousands carried into slavery.
The Spaniards had but one thought-to
crafty their selfish greed for gold.

GRADE IV-LESSON III.

THE LAST VOYAGES OF COLUMBUS.
After Columbus returned from his first
/ voyage it was not long until he was ready
to sail back to the new lands which he
had discovered. This time he had twelve
ships and twelve hundred men. There
was no need now of forcing any one into
the service: thousands wanted to go.
They took with them horses, pigs, cattle,
and dogs; for these animals were not
found in he New World. Twelve priests
were taken to convert the Indians to the
Catholic faith.
The voyagers reached Hayti in safety,
and landed at the spot where Columbus had
built he fort and left the little garrison.
They found that the fort had been de-
stroyed and all the men killed by the
Indians. Leaving there a second colony,
Columbus sailed away to the west, and
discovered the island of Jamaica. But he
found no mountains of gold, and the men
who were with him began to murmur.
Sickness broke out, he provisions failed,
and some of the ships turned back to
Spain. After cruising for a while among
the islands, Columbus himself returned
home, this time disappointed because he
had not been able to satisfy the hopes of
his companions.
The Spanish mobiles were 50 jealous OF
Columbus that two years passed before he
could get ready for another voyage. fhls
time he sailed farther southwark, and on
the thirty eighth day discovered an island
with three mountain peaks, which he
named Trinidad Just beyond this island
was the mainland of South America, and
the mouth of the great river Orinoco.
/ For many days he sailed along the coast,
/ and then, turning northWard, he reached
the settlement in Hayti.
Columbus was now the governor of the
New World; but the Spanish mobiles
could not bear to have an Italian rule
over them. So, through false accusations
they persuaded the king to take his office
| from him and appoint in his place vain
and cruel man named Booadllla. bopa-
! dilla at once arrested Columbus, fastened
| chains upon his ankles, and sent him
back to Spain. When he arrived at Cadlz,
| the people cried out, "Shame! shame! 10
treat thus cruelty the man who discov-
cred the New World % And by the
| kings command the chains were taken
! off and Columbus set at liberty.
1t was several years before Columbus
was allowed to sail on his fourth voyage.
He was then an old man, his beard was
white as snow, and he was no longer the
strong, hopeful man that he had been.
He stopped for little time at Hayti, and
then sailed west seeking to find pes
sage to India, which he still believed was
not far beyond.
At one place he was in great need OF
food; but he could get nothing from the
