A Story of DR.. Ahbott.

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott spends much
of his spare time when in New York
in one of the deep alcoves in the old
Astor library, where the table in front
of him is Uttered with books and
strewn with papers. The attendants
all know him. and his wants are never
neglected. When the doctor Is at work.
he buries himself in his book. his gray
hairs almost hidden by the volume.
and as long as he reads he is dead to
the rest of the world.
Not long ago another Industrious
bookworm visited the library and call
ed for certain book.
~ think DR.. Abbott has it," replied
the clerk. 1t was so, and the student
was forced to take up another line of
investigation. very much against his
will.
Soon afterward still another man
came in and went over to the alcove
in which the doctor and his rival sat.
He called for no book. but was merely
looking around aimlcssly.
Looking for n book!" asked the
rival.
"Oh. nothing in particular"
We'll" he added, slowly and stern
ly. ''if you are looking for any book,

Conaueror. Conuuered.

1t is remarkable and instructive
fact that the career of four of the
most renowned characters that ever
lived closed with violent or mournful
death.
Alexander. after looking down from
the dizzy heights of his ambition upon
conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer. died
of intoXication in Il scene of debauch.
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal. whose name carried ter
ror TO the heart OF Rome itself, after
flight the armies of the mistress of
the world. was driven from his coun-
try and died at last of poison admins
tered by his own hands in q foreign
land, unlamented and unwept.
Caesar. the conqueror of 500 cities.
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped in tie blood of a million of his
foes. was miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name. closed his
days in lonely banishmcnt upon n bar
ren rock in the midst of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con-
sdered representatives of all whom
the world calls great. and such their
end-intoXication, or poison, suicide.
