The Sword Of Damocles.

There was once a king whose name
was Dionysius. He was 80 unjust
and cruel that he won for himself
the name Of Tyrant. He knew that
almost everybody hated him, 30 he
was always in dread lest somebody
should take his life.
But he was very rich, and he lived
in a fine palace, whore there were
many costly and beautiful things; and
he was waited on by q host of serv-
ants who were always ready to do his
bidding One day a friend of his,
whose name was Donoolos, said to
him:
"How happy you must be! You
have everything that any man could
wish"
"Perhaps you would like to change
places with me-" said tho tyrant.
"No' not that, o King" said Damo
cles; "but think that if could only
have your pleasures for one day l
should not want any greater hap
piness."
Every we'll" said the tyrsnt, "you
shall have them"
And 80 the next day Dsmocles was
led into the palace, and all the serv-
ants were hidden to treat him as their
master. He sat down at table in
the banquet hall, and rich foods we're
placed before him. Nothing was
wanting thatwould give him pleasure
There were costly wines, and beau
tiful flowers, and rare perfumes and
delightful music. He rested himself
among soft cushions, and felt that
he was tho happiest man in all the
world.
Then he chanced to raise his eyes
toward the ceiling. What was it
that was dangling above him, with
it's point almost touching his headp
1t was sharp sword, and it wrs
hung only by single horse hair.
What If the hair should break There
was danger every moment that it
would do 80.
The smile faded from the lips OF
Damooles. His face became ashy
pale. His hands trembled. He
wanted no more food; he could drinA
no more wine; he took no more de,
light in the music. He longed to be
out OF tho place and away, he cared
not where.
"What is the matterp" said the
tyrant.
"That swordl that swordl" DRIED
Damocles. He was so badly fright
ened that he dared not move.
eyes," said Dionysius, II know
there is sword above your head,
and that it may fall at any moment.
But why should that trouble you
l have a sword over my head all the
time. I am every moment in dread
lest something may cause mo to lose
my life."
"Let me co." said Damocles, II
now see that I was mistaken, and
that the rich men are not so happy as
they seem.* Let me go back to my
old homo in the poor little cottage
among the mountains"
And 30 long as he lived he never
again wanted to be rich, or to change
places, even for moment, with the
king.
