Mr. I HOMAS,
Pee pit in all ages have bad the utme/i alter*
tenet /xUsurpiKo TYRANTS. / am
fend of reading dnecdetes of fee mor timey vtrhere
Tyranny hat met with itt just reward I there
fore beg yon would injert the following dneedote
of the remarkable firmnefs and jujlue of Tinu*
I ton of Corinth. T Z.
TIMOLEON wss of nobte rank in the
city of Ccninth, lilt was more diftin
guifhrd by his ardent love of liberty, than by
his bn th. He was naturally mild and gentle,
the fweetnef* of hi* disposition would not
fuffer him to hate any but tyrants, and the
domestic enemies of his country. He pof
(efled the most Unfbakan Courage to the de
cline of a very long lite, which was temper
ed, even in hi* cailieft youth, by the most
extraordinary and admirable prudence.
He had an alder brother called Timo
phan£s, in every refpe& the reveife of him,
imprudent, ralh, ambitious, .Ind ever aiming
at illegal power; affecting an tppearancu>of
uncommon valour, and a certain ardor it*
all military exploits, yrhich procured birh
the admiration id the populace, and, in con
fcquencS of that, the highest poft* jn ib«
commonwealth. Timolcon loved him with
the most tender and afftPed him
in obtaining such cflice* as wwprot meou
fiOunt with the freedom of hi* country, by
leffsniflg bis errors sod letting such good
qualitiM st ha pofl&flsd in the strongest light
ihey would bean ; T
tn 1 battle, 1 in which Timophane* Com
manded the Corinthian cavalry, bis horfa
being wounded, threw him into the midst of
the enemy } his troops, except a very inedh
fiderable number* dispersed j and the few
remaining, overpowered by multitudes,were
unab e so make further refinance f whoa
Timoleon, who served in the infantry, hear*
of hit brother’s danger, flew to his relcue,
and covered him with bis buckler, as he lay
wounded on the field । and, after receiving
many ftrounda himfelf, obliged the enemy to
retire, and at the extremen hatud of hia
own life, preferred that of Timopbancs.
Soon aftrf this action, the Corinthians,
for the freurity of their bity, tbok into their
pay a band of fotlr hundred Grangers, and
gave the command of (hem to Timopharies f
who, without regard to the ties of honour,
just ice, or gratitude, corrupted them to serve
bis own ambitious purpofet, and render hint
mafterof those who had entrusted him with
power he was unworthy of J and having cut
off many of the best and principal citizens,
who Were the molt likely to oppose his de
signs, uncondemned, and without trial, de
clared himfelf King of Corinth.
This conduit threw the virtuous Timole
on into desperation j he begged, he entreat
ed, he rem onftrated, he conjured his brother
by every thing most sacred, to repair the in
juries he had done bis unhappy country, and
renounce a power so which be had no claim,
but by the most ufJrpation, and
which We could not keep but by thtdeftruc
tion of Corinth. But when he found his
admonitions received with contempt, and
not heard without impatience and anger, be
reiblved on a second and more powerful at
tempt ; and taking With him Efchylus, bro
ther to the wife of Fimophancs, and Ortba
goras, who was theii common friend, be re-
to bis brother, and all three surround
ing him, be fought him by the piety he owed
to tbe Gods, and by the genius of bis native
country, before it was too late, to listen to
tbe voice of resfon and of virtue. Timo
phanes at firft ridiculed their (implicit?, but
afterwards, being very vehemently prefled,
began to give way to fury and indent trow |
when Timofeon, tedding to neccffity, turn
ed sfide, and calling up Ms eyes ftrcsonng
with tears to Heaven, coveted hie face with
h:s robe, wbiid the o»ber two with their
fwordsinlaflUy d'(patched
