Being come to Athens, it was decreed that they should remain prisoners till a peace was concluded, provided the Lacedæmonians did not make any incursions into their country, for that then they should all be put to death. They left a garrison in Pylus. The Messenians of Naupactus, who had formerly possessed it, sent thither the flower of their youth, who very much infested the Lacedæmonians by their incursions; and as these Messenians spoke the language of the country, they prevailed with a great number of slaves to join them. The Lacedæmonians, dreading a greater evil, sent several deputations to Athens, but to no purpose.

S. I wish you would frankly tell me what I am going to ask of you: When you produce the greatest effect upon the audience in the recitation of some striking passage, such as the apparition of Odysseus leaping forth on the floor, recognised by the suitors, and casting his arrows at his feet, or the description of Achilles rushing at Hector, or the sorrows of Hecuba, Andromache, or Priam, - -are you in your right mind? Are you not carried out of yourself, and does not your soul in an ecstasy seem to be among the persons or places of which she is speaking, whether they are in Ithaca or Troy, or whatever may be the scene of the poem ?

I. I must confess that at the tale of pity my eyes are filled with tears, and when I speak of horrors, my hair stands on end and my heart throbs.

S. Well, and what are we to say of a man who at a sacrifice or festival, when he is dressed in holiday attire, and has golden crowns on his head, of which nobody has robbed him, appears weeping or panic-stricken in the presence of more than twenty thousand friendly faces, where there is no one spoiling or wronging him; is he in his right mind, or is he not? I. No, indeed, I must say that, strictly speaking, he is not in his right mind.

S. And are you aware that you produce similar effects on most of the spectators?

I. Yes, indeed, I am : for I look down upon them from the stage, and behold the various emotions of pity, wonder, sternness, stamped upon their countenances when I am speaking; and I am obliged to attend to them; for, unless I make them cry, I myself shall not laugh, and if I make them laugh, I shall do anything but laugh myself when the hour of payment arrives.

MR. TYRRELL.

In accordance with Eastern magnificence, the revenues of Magnesia, amounting to the yearly sum of fifty talents, were assigned to him for bread, whilst Myos was to supply condiments, and Lampsacus wine. At Magnesia Themistocles was joined by his family; and after living there some time, was carried off by disease at the age of sixty-five, without having realized, or apparently attempted, any of those plans with which he had dazzled the Persian monarch. Rumour, which ever dogs the footsteps of the great, ascribed his death to poison, which he took of his own accord, from a consciousness of his inability to perform his promises; but this report, which was current in the time of Thucydides, is rejected by that historian, though it was subsequently adopted by writers of no
