out of the hatred that swelled in the veins
of that old Roman Itadiaal,who never spoke
privately or publicly withou,t closing his
speech with the words • ••Ilowever,it is my
opinion that Carthago must be destroyed."
Now why should such things be? A pri;c
tical, sensible. statesmanelnp,should desire
to bury in oblivion the end memory of our
domestic dissensions. It teas a Roman Em
peror, who when asked to erect Kik RIM to
vengeance, to commemorate the death of
Pisootho foil in civil war replied. "Private
memories and hatreds engendered in civil
strife should be forgotten, and public mon
uments should commemorate foreign con
quests, not domestic dissensions" When
the Theban' conquered the Imeedemonians
they created a brazen trophy in honor of
the victory. A complaint vqmaile before
the Amithycleonic Council, and tile noble
response was, "let it be abolished, for it is
not fitting that any veedrd shotild remain of
discord between Greek and Greek." Should
heathens and heathen nations surpass a

charity? Are the feeling. of personal re
