So, too, with heathen records, for the accounts of the life of Jupiter tell us of an endless series of love affairs, in the course of which service to the fair sex, "the father of gods ATirl m<?nw wnn trnncfni*??/i^ ? golden shower; and I am afraid the deity lias never failed to have plenty of disciples. Princes, kings and heroes whom I have met have been as pliant as common mortals ; philosophers and generals of ancient as well as modern times, have yielded to the spell. No small portion of the history of Aleihiades, Demosthenes, Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, is closely connected with gallantry ; and here let me relate a "curious storv, showing the rower of love and gallantry over the wise philosopher- Aristotle, the tutor of Alexander the Great. Alexander had fallen in lovo with a/Beautiful woman, and was devoting himself to her instead of aflVtrs of ambition. Aristotle, by ridiculing the passion of love, induced the king to return to the councils and the conduct of the State and neglect his cnohanrcss.
