CrRsUs and SOlOU.

In the fullness of his glory CrGsus was
visited by Scion, the wise man Of Greece,
who was taking q long vacation after his
public labors In Athens. Crpsus hoped to
astonish Scion by his magniilcence and
to make him acknowledge that no one on
earth could bo happier than the mighty
Lydian king. But Scion would not agree
to this and insisted that every man must
wait till the end of his life and see what
fortune would finally bring him before de-
Gliding whether he could be called happy
or not. The king was greatly offended,
and from that time he never spoke of tho
stern philosopher until his own death
seemed close at hand
After his defeat and capture by Cyrus
tho Persian no Was condemned to be burn
ed alive in tho presence of the conqueror
Just as the sentence was about to he OK
ecCted Crnsus called out the name of Scion
three times, and Cyrus, wondering what
he meant, had him brought forward to
explain the exclamation. CI9sus then
described his interview with tho sage, tho
wisdom of whose Judgment was now
proved by his own miserable end. Cyrus
was deeply impressed by what 10 heard
and by the resignation of his captive. He
released CrGsus and from that time pro-
tected and befriended him, Tho deposed
sovereign of Lydia was II prominent figure
at the Persian court not only as long rs
Cyrus lived, but during some years of the
reign of Calnbyscs, tho successor Of Cy-
rus. st. Nicholas.
