An ~Inuineihle.

When Alcibiades was told that his
countrymen had passed sentence. Of
death upon him for being at the heat
of a conspiracy to overthrow the re.
ligious and political constitution OF
Athens he said, II will show them j
still live" He obtained from Sparta
assurance of personal safety and went
hither. He delighted and charmed the
Spartans. as he had the Athenians in
his earlier years. He adopted theil
customs and dress and was the strict.
est Spartan of them all. He wore his
hair short, bathed in the icy waters
Of the Eurotes and ate their black
broth and barley bread. They believed
that he had been misrepresented. In
truth, as Plutarch said, "he changed
color more quickly than a chameleon
In Sparta he was grave temperate
and fond of physical exercise; in Ionia
he was easy going, luxurious and mer-
ry: in Thrace he was drunken, in
Thessaly he was devoted to horseman
ship, and in the court Of the Persian
satraps he surpassed Tissaphernes
himself in magnificence. AS Sparta
was to be the prize Of the Athenian
victory, he showed the people their
danger, advising them to begin active
operations against that city. No bet.
ter advice could have been given them,
and they profted by it.
