Alexander the Great had determined o carry on war with India, the richest country in the world, not only in rold but in pearls and precious stones, eith which the inhabitants adorned hemselves with more luxury, indeed, han gracefulness. Alexander was nformed that the swords of the solliers were of gold and ivory; and the ling, now the greatest monarch in the vorld, being determined not to yield o any person whatsoever, in any clr:umstance, caused the swords of the loldiers to be set oft with silver plates, j JUL 5U1UCX1 UX1UXCO Uli Uic uuioco, uau tie coats of mail heightened with told and silver, and prepared to march or this enterprise at the head of a lundred and twenty thousand men, all ;quipped with the magnitlcence above lescribed. All things being ready for their seting out, he thought this a proper opportunity to reveal the design he had io long meditated, viz.: to have divine lonors paid him. To soothe and :herish this ridiculous pretension, ;here were not wanting flatteries, hose common pests of courts, who are nore dangerous to princes than the irms of their enemies. With this rtew he appointed a festival and made in Incredibly pompous banquet, to vhich he invited the greatest lords of lis court, both Macedonians and ireeks, and most of the highest qualty among the Persians. With these le sat down at table for some time, ifter which he withdrew. Upon this, 21eon, one of the flatterers, began to jpeak and expatiated very much in praise of the king, as had before been igreed upon. He made a long detail pf the high obligations they owed him, ill of which, he observed, they might icanuwieage in repiy ai u. very easy expense, merely with two grains of Incense, which they should offer him 1 is to a god, without the least scruple, | dnce they believed him such. To this purpose he cited the example of the Persians and added that in case : the rest should not care to pay this j justice to Alexander' merits, he himself was resolved to show them the way and to worship him in case he should return into the hall; but that ill of them must do their duty, especially those who professed wisdom, ind ought to serve the rest as an example of the veneration due to so great a monarch. It appeared plainly that this speech was directed to Callisthenes. He was related to Aristotle, who had presented himself to , Alexander, his pupil, that he might attend upon that monarch in the war of Persia. He was considered, upon account of his wisdom and gravity, as the fittest person to give him such wholesome counsels as were most likely to preserve him from those excessions into which his youth and fiery temper might hurry him. This philosopher, seeing that everyone on this occasion continued in deep silence and that the eyes of the whole assembly were fixed upon him, addressed himself to Cleon in the following words: "Had the king been present when thou madest thy speech none among us would have attempted to answer thee, for he himself would have interrupted thee, and not have suffered thee to prompt him to assume the customs of barbarians, in casting an odium on his person and Kiory, oy su aerviie an auuiauuu, uui since he is absent, I will answer thee in his name. I consider Alexander as worthy of all the honors that can be paid a mortal; but there is a difference between worship of the gods and that of men. The former includes temples, altars, prayers and sacrifices; the latter is confined to commendations only, and awful respect. "We salute the latter and look upon it as glorious to pay them submission, obedience and fidelity; but we adore the former. We institute festivals to their honor and sing hymns and spiritual songs to their glory. We must not, therefore, confound things, either by bringing down the gods to the condition of mortals, or by raising a mortal to the state of a god. Alexander would be Justly offended should we pay to another person the homage due to his sacred person only; ought we not to dread the Indignation of the gods as much, should we bestow upon mortals the honor due to them alone? I am sensible that our monarch is vastly superior to the rest; he is the greatest of kings, and the most glorious of all conquerors; but then he Is a man. not a god. The Greeks did not worship Hercules till after .his death; and then not till the oracle had expressly commanded It. The Persians are died as an example tor our imitation; out how long is it Hovs cnat the vanquished have given taw to the victor'( Can we torget mat Alexander crossed the Hellespont, T1 not to subject Greece to Asia, but patr Asia to Ureeie?" . The deep silence which all the com- ? pany observed whilst Calllsthenes "l spoae, was an indication, in some a w: measure, of tneir thoughts. The yout ting, wno stood behind tne tapestry . . an me time, heard whatever had wltn passeu. He therefore ordered Cleon '"V to be told that, without Insisting any bass turther, he would only require the d Persians to fall prostrate, according to their usual custom; a little after ^orl which he came in, pretending that he darii bad been busied In some affairs of houa importance. Immediately the Persi- . ins tell prostrate to adore him. Poly- 111 aeperchon, who stood near him, ob- he v served that one of them bowed so he v low that his chin touched the ground, Dled bid him in a rallying tone of voice to strike harder. The king, offended at ter 1 this joke, threw Polyseperchon into were prison. As for Callisthenes, the king Irish letermined to get rid of him, and h| , iherefore laid to his charge a crime )f which he was in no way guilty. ed 8 Accordingly, he was thrown Into a then lungeon, loaded with irons, and the pere nost generous torments were inflicted >n him, in order to extort a confes- 1 don of guilt But he Insisted upon patrl lis Innocence to the last and expired nc n the midst of his tortures. h .

Few monarchs are resolute men ind courageous enough to withstand and their own power, and to esteem a man Pills who loves them so well, as to con- relie tradict and displease them, in telling them the genuine truth.

As for you, Df.- *r C rius, in whom sovereign power has wrought so sudden a change, you will teach posterity that when once men abandon themselves to the delusions Com of fortune, she erases from their ?, minds all the seed of goodness lmplanted In them by nature."

A Plato was descended from an and- X ent and illustrous family, possessed t of a considerable estate, and unl- J versally admired as the profoundest A scholar of his age; but neither his Z birth, fortune, wisdom nor learning, y could protect him from the resent ment of Dionysius, king of Syracuse, A for being too free with him. Dlony- z sus, being charmed with the char- y acter of Plato the Divine, for so he # was generally styled, expressed a A great inclination to have some con- V versation with him. The philosopher C" then about forty years of age, paid 2 the king a visit. The liberty, however, 7 which he took of discoursing on the w subject of tyranny and the arguments P he used to persuade the king to divest 0 himself of his despotic power, had like V to have cost him dear; his death in all probability, would have Droved A the consequence, had not hia friends, X Dion and Arlstomense pleaded hard V in his behalf. Though the king, in deed, through their intercession, A spared his life, yet he showed his re- J sentment so far that he delivered him P up to one Polides, a Lacedaemonian f ambassador, at that time resident at A Dionysius's court, with express or ders for his being sold as a slave. ? This ambassador soon transported him 2 to Aegina, and there executed the 7 commission. It was fortunate for C poor Plato that one Anniceres, a native J of Cyrene, happened at that time to V be in the island. This person paid J down the sum demanded for the phi- ? losopher, and took the first opportuni- m ty of sending him back to Athens, and y restoring him to his friends. Dionysius being informed thit Pla- A to was once more at Athens in a state z of freedom, contrary to his expecta- y tions, was under some apprehension that Plato would study some way or A other to revenge the insult and indlg nity offered him. He wrote therefore C a very complaisant letter to him, 0 wherein he, in effect, though not in A direct terms, desired he would excuse b the treatment he had met with, and P insinuated it was with pleasure he I heard of his residing again among his 7 friends. Plato sent a very cold ans- L wer, which was to the efect that he X need not give himself any great con- V cern about what had passed; for his J thoughts were so much taken up with y the charms of philiosophy that he had Z no time to spare in the gratification y of any private resentment.?Martin's Lives, Etc. am Cuban twentieth century she is crowned, thriving, gay metropolii with her own pride, her own tropi airs and graces, her own wholly un American individuality.
