heard the steward's account of the horse

to Y~dies Pollio'e lampreys. Now, you are a
wbs,witty, and eloquent person, and you can

amemntied. The elephant is stronger than

hlger. Either the mere power to do a thing
deserves my esteem more than any other ob

all his brutal instincts at the expense of their

peedg a.id brutally used, virtue, and such
aises'male by my tongue against my palate,

Lag in which any mind can find any meaning
--either, I again say, the lampreys and the
Itqan borse are more to be esteemed, and
valued, and loved than my sister and my
aother, or it is not true that the mere power of
Tiberius combined with the brutish inclina
tion to do a thing, terminates the question
whether it is a right to do it. The moment I
like to do any thing, if I can do it, it is neoes
sarly right that I should do it t The moment
two persons have a difference, it is right for
either of them, and equally right for each of
them, to murder the other I But if it was the
intention of this great being, this god who is
expected to appear immediately among ns,
that we should be dependent upon each other,
eack doing for the other what the other cannot
de hr himself-and I am sure of it-then it
wil please him, Dion, if I consider what is
helpful and jest and generous. Or am I
wreug? Is virtue a dream? Are contrary
things in the same cases equally good t Are
eatoary things in the same cases equally
beautiftl ?
"Art my brutish Instincts or inclinations,
whikh vary as things vary round me, my only
law! Is each of us intended by this great
being to be at war with all the rest ? to regard
the positive power each of us may have as our
eels reetriction? to destroy and injure all the
ithers by whom we could be served, if we
,+- fo8 our parts also serve and help t And
mseet women, for instance, being the weaker,
behretally used f Tell me, Dion, will it please
thbgreat being if I try to render service to
my fellow-men, who must have the same natu
sal elaims to his consideration as I have ? or
deea h wish me to hurt them and them to
beet me, acoording as we may each have the
9oews t Is there nothing higher in a man than
his external power of action? Answer-you

lbs eeeateaauoe of Dion blazed for one in
Samt, if the light of a passing torch had
been shed upen a mirror, and then resumed
the les vivid effulgene of that permanent in- i
telleetual beauty which was its ordinary r
ehneateristit . He replied :
"AU the philosophy that ever was taught

" *Ia," returned Paulus, "come bick with

The Athenian, however, said he would show
bip the way out of the alaoe. They went
silent and thoughtful. In the Impluviam they
found a little crowd surroudlag Augustus,
who had returned from his prommade to the
eamp, and who was throwing orunatbof lead
among some pigeons near the central fountaino.
Two ladies were of the company, one of
whom, Lp advanced age, *as evidently the
Empress Livia, but for whose lalpence and
management Germanieue nly not her
ungrateful son Tiberlus-would have been the
next master of the world.. The o.her lady,
who was past her prime, had still abundant
vestiges of a beauty which must once have
been very remarkable.
She was painted red and plastered white,
with immense care, to look some fifteen years
younger than she truly was.
Her countenance betrayed to a good pbyal
ognomist, at first glance, the horrible life she
had led. Paulus, whose experience was little,
and, although she fastened upon him a flaming
glance, which she intended to be fall both of
condescension and fascination, thought that
he had seldom seen a woman either more re
pulsive or more insanely haughty.
It was Julia, the new and abhorred wife of
Tiberius. Not long before, at the request of
Augustus, who was always planning to dispose
of Julia, Tiberius had given up for her the
only woman he ever loved, Agrippina Marcella.
Tiberius so loved her, if it deserves to be
termed love, that when, being thus deserted,
she took another husband (Asinins Gallus,) he,
mad with jealousy, threw him into a dungeon
and kept him there till he died, as Beutonius
and Tacitus record.
"Ah, my Athenianl" said the emperor to
Dionysius, placing a hand affeetionately on
the youth's shoulder, " ould you satisfy me
that those splendid theories of yours are more
than dreams and fanioes; that really there is
one eternal, all-wise, and omnipotent spirit,
who made this universal frame of things, and
governs it as an absolute monarch; that he
made us; that in us he made a spirit, a soul
a ghost, a thinking principle, which will never
die; and that I, who am going down to the
tomb, am only to change my mode of existence;
that I shall not wholly descend thither; that
an urn will not contain everything which will
remain of me; and all this in a very different
sense from that which poor Horace meant I
But why speak of it T Has not Plato failed I"
"Plato," replied Dionysius, "neither quite
failed nor is quite understood, illustrious em
peror. But you were saying, if I oould satisfy
you. Be pleased to finish. Grant I could sat
isfy you; what then 1"
" Satisfy me that one eternal soveorign of the
universe lives, and that what now thinks in
me," returned the emperor, while the courtly
group made a circle, " will never cease to
think; that what is now conscious within me
will be conscious forever; that now, in more
than a mere poetical allusion to my fame-and
on the word of Augustus Catsar, there is no
reasonable request within the entire reach
and compass of mny power which I will refuse
you."
" And what sort of a hearing, emperor," in
quired Dion, "and under what circumstances,
and upon what conditions, will you be pleased
to give me and when T and where ?"
"In this palace, before the games end," re
plied Augustus. " The hearing shall form an
evening's entertainment for our whole circle
and attendance. You shall sustain your doc
trines, while our celebrated advocates and or
ators, Antistius Labiao and Domitius Afer, who
disagree with them, I know, shall oppose you.
Let me see. The CasOrs, Tiberius and 6er
manious, with their ladies, and our host M-a.
mnrra and his family, and all our circle, shall
be present. Titus Livy, Luciusla Vars, Velleins
Paterculus, and the greatest orator Rome ever
produced, except Cicero" (the old man men
tioned with watery eyes the Incomparable
genius to whose murder he had consented in
his youth)--" I mean Quintus Haterlus-shall
form a jndicial jury. Haterias shall pro
nounce the sentence. Dare you face such an
qrdeal I'
"I will accept it," replied the Athenian,
blushing; " I will accept the ordeal with fear.
Daring is contrasted with trembling; but, al
though my daring trembles, yet my trepidation
dares."
"Oh! how enchanting!" cried the august
Julia; " we shall hear the eloquent Athenian."
and she clasped her hands and sent an unutter
able glance toward Dion, who saw it not.
" It will be very interesting indeed," added
the aged empress.
" Better for once than even the mighty com
edy of the palace," said Lucius Varies.
"Better than the gladiators," added Velleios
Paterculus.
"Au idea worthy of the time of Virgil and
Macsens," added Titus Livy.
"Worthy of Augustus's time," subjoined
Tiberlus, who was leaning against one of the
pillare which supported the gallery of the Im
pluvium.
"Worthy of his dotage," mattered Cneiue
Piso to Tiberius, with a scowl.
" Worthy," said a handsome man, with wary
crisp brown looks, In the early prime of life'
whose military tunic was eromed with the
broad purple stripe, " worthy of Athens in the
days of Plato; oand as Demosthenes addressed
the people after listeeing to the reporter of
8oorates, so Hateries aball tell this odinpany
what he thinks, after listening to Dion.'
"Hateruls is getting old," msaid Haseries.
"You may live," said Augustus, "to be a
hundred, but you will aerer be old; Jast as ou
Cneies Piso here never we. young."
There was a laugh. The Rateries in que.
tion was he to whom Bon Jonson compared
Bhakespeare as a talker, and of whom, then
past eighty, Augstuse need, Seneca tells u, to
say that his careering thoughts resembled a

ard, or mastaer, gllded quickly up the oolon
sade of the implviuam to the pillar agaiast
which Tiberius was leaning, whispered some
thing, handed his tablets to the Cuasr, and, in
answer to a glance Of surprised inquiry, looked
toward and indicated Paulus.
' Tiberias immediately passeed Paulus and
Dion, sayiag in an under tone, " Follow me,"
and led the way into a small empty chamber,
of which, when the two youths bad entered it,
he closed the door.
"You are going to break the horse called
Sejanus n" said he, turning round and standing.
Paulus assented.
"Then you must do so on the fourth day
from this, in the review ground of the camp,
an hour before sunset."
Paulus bowed.
" Have you anything to inquire, to request,
or to observe " purnued Tiberius.
"Am I to ride the horse muzzled, sir t" asked
the yeuth.
"The muzzle will be snatched off by a con
trivance of the. cavasson, after you mount
him," replied Tiberius, looking steadfastly at
the other.
" Then, instead of a whip, may I carry tny
instrument I please in my hands i" demanaed
Paulus; "my sword, for example In
" Yes," answered Tiberius; "but you most
not injure the horse ; he is of matchless price."
"But," persisted Panlus, "your justice, il
lustrious Cesar, will make a distinction be
tween any injpry which the steed may do to
himself and any which I may do to him. For
instance, he might dash himself against some
obstruction, or into the river Liris, and in try
ing to clamber out again might be harmed.
Such injuries would be nflicted by himself,
not by me. The hurt I shall do him either by
spear, or by sword, or by any other instrument
will not be intended to touch his life or his
health, nor likely to do so. If I do make any
scars, I think the hair will grow again."
"He will not be so scrupulous on his side,"
said Tiberius; "however, your distinction is
reasonable. Have you any thing else to ask f"
"Certainly I have," said Paulus; " it is that
no one shall give him any food or drink, ex
sept what I myself shall bring, for twenty-four
hours before I ride him."
Tiberius littered a disagreeable laugh.
"Am I to let yon starve Sejanus I" he asked.
"That is not my meaning sir," answered
Paulus quietly. "I will give him as much
corn and water as he will take. I wish to
prevent him from having any other kind of
provender. There are articles which will make
a horse drunk or mad."
"I agree," replied Tiberius, " that he shall
have only corn and water, provided he have as
much of both as roy own servant wishes; nor
have I any objection that the servant should
receive these articles from you alone, or from
your groom."
Paulus inclined his head and kept silence.
" Nothing more to stipalate, I perceive," ob
served Tiberius.
The youth admitted that he had not; and,
seeing the Casar move, he opened the door,
held it open while the great man passed
through, and then taking a friendly leave of
Dion, hastily quitted the palace.
Tiberius, meeting Sejanus, took him aside
and said,
" We have got rid of the brother I You must
have every thing ready to convey her to Rome
the fifth day from this. And now, enough of
private matters. I am sick of them. The af
fairs of the empire await me !"
PART II.
CHAPTER I.
The die was cast, and Paulus went 'away
plighted to an undertaking which appeared
suflfciently arduous, and some of the chanees
of which were even fall of horror.
The qews of the arrangement spread throngh
the palace of the Mamurras before he had well
quitted Formits. From the palace it bironlated
through the town, from the town it reached
the camp the same evening; the next day the
surrounding country knew it. Carrier pigeons
had borne to Rome a hint of the gayeties, the
interest, the splendor, which the simultaneous
eoeurrence of the emperor's visit, and the col.
lection of an army for real fighting purposes,
(in fact, to repel the German invasion,) were
likely'to call forth in theold Latian town; and
now the same aeriel messengers apprised many
a sated circus-goer in the capital that a very
pretty novelty indeed would be added to the
contests of gladiators and the battles of wild
beasts.
The concourse pouring into and converging
from all parts toward Formins, which had al
ready been so extensive, increased, therefore,
into an enormous concentric movement. Noth
ing can better show what a prodigious multi
tude was thus accidentall collected, than the
i fact that, even at Rome, (which then contained
four millions 6f inhabitants,) a diminution of
I pressure was perceptible, for the time, to those
who remained. Thischange resembled what
Londoners experience'on the Derby day.
Paulas,.tbat evening, having passed a eon
aiderable time with his mother and sister, (to
whom he communicated the fact of hit engag
Vmeat without aluralg thebi by explaininog its
peuenliar horrors,) felt little inclined to sleep.
When, therefore, the lanista, Thellas, who hbud,
as Clan~l:rs said he would invite him to do,
Ibrought back Benigna to Crispus's inn, was
taking his leave of the Liady Aglais and of
r JAgatha, Panlua said to him,
"Do not gosoon; but come down into the'
garden and let us take a stroll. We may not
Soften be able to converse with each other her-
rafter."
" Gladly, my valiant youth," said Thellns;
and they descended.
A beautiful starry and moonlit night looked
Sdown over Italy, as they saountered in the fra
n grnat garden, conversing a little and then re
a lapsing into thoughtful silence.
Presently Thella said,
'"Thls adventure of yours makes me un
happy."
, " Well," retpueed Pslas,," my mother aedi
a  1 haeu5 meoset or y pue* te se -
r feel aso levity about It myself. I confess that
n- It is a grave business."
at They now walked up and down the laurel
a- alley a few turns, absorbed in thought.
in Suddenly two men approsobhed them along
sd two different gravel walks in the garden, one
dressed as a slave, the other in the uniform of
id a decarion, a legionary ofiloer, slightly more
," important than a modern sergeant of the line
ir, in the English army.
t, The slave had one of the worst countenances
and the decurion one of the most' honest, that
ad Paulus in his very limited or Thellua in his
g. hnnmense experience had ever beheld. Paulus
recognised the slave at once; it was that Lyg
iy due who had endeavored to bring him to the
P, ground by a side sweep of Cneias Piso's sword.
which this man, as the reader will remember,
was carrying at the time.
t, The deourion gave Paulns a letter, directed
in the same handwriting, folded in the same
:d style, and its silk thread sealed with the same
device of a frog, as a certain communication
n which he had once before'received.
nt The moon shone high, and so calm was the
at night that it proved easy to read the bold
characters.
i7 They ran thus:
id "Velleias Pateroolus, military tribune, sal
utes Paulus Leplids Emilius. Renounce this
at absurd engagement, which cannot concern you.
." It is yet possible, but will be too late to-mor
t- row, to plead ignorance of what you were un
e- dertaking. Leave wretched slaves to their
to fate I-VAL."
)r Paulus, after reading this note, begged the
1e deeurion to wait, and, turning to Lygdan, asked
?- his business.
1. The slave stated his name, and said he was
f, appointed to receive, dating from the day after
,y the next, the provender which he understood
It Paulus to be desirous of furnishing for the use
is of the Sejan horse.
" Has Tiberius Ciesar appointed you."
".Sir, Yes." "
" Of course, then, you are used to horses f"
" Sir, I have always belonged to the stable,"
I" said Lygdns.
"t " But," pursued Paulus, " am I then forbid
r. den to enter the stable myself, and make ac
ir quaintance with the horse I have to break "
"Sir, I have orders," answered this Lygdus
-who, as I think I have already mentioned,
i. was destined, as the instrument of Cneins Piso
id and Planoina, some few years later, to be the
h cruel assassin of Germanicus-" I have orders
,o always to admit you, and always to watch you."
f " Iou to watch a Roman knight I"
:e " For that matter, most honored sir," an
swered Lygdus, "the rank of the person
11 watched does not altar the eyes of the watcher.
,s I could watch a Roman senator, or even a
,r Roman (Casar, if necessary."
d "I will be security you could," said Thellus,
a whose great and almost diaphanous nostrils
quivered as he spoke."
Lygdus, by way of answer, withdrew a pace.
The deburion, meanwhile, had taken off his
helmet, and the starry heavens were not more
1, clear than his indignant, simple countenance.
"It is well," said Paulus. "I will ask for
d you at Formin. Go now."
f Lygdus therefore went away.
" Decurion," said Paulus, " say to the es
e teemed Velleias Paterculas that I am very
grateful to him; but what must be, must be."
i " And what is that, noble sir I" answered the
e decnrion, "in case my commanding officer
If should ask me for an explanation "
"That I have given my word advertently
and will keep it faithfully," replied Paulus.
"Is this, noble air," said the decurion,
" what you mean by that wich maust be."
"Have I, then," Qnswered Paulus, "said any
thing obscure or confused I"
" Only something unusual, excellent sir,"
d said the decurion; "but not any thing con
e fused or obscure. Permit me to add, that the
whole camp knows the cirooumstances of this
h miserable undertaking, and wishes you well;
U and I feel in my single bosom the-good wishes
d of the whole camp for your success."
I " What is you; name, brave decnrion I"
"o "Longlnus."
I "Well," replied Paulus, "if I survive the
1s struggle with this creature, I mean to join the
15 expedition of Germanicuns Casar, and I will
1- have my eye upon you. I should like to be
your informant that you were promoted to a
re higher rank, and to call you the Centurion
Longinus."
' Tears were standing in the Roman decurion's
ry eyes as he bowed to take leave.
oe Thellus and Paulus, being now left again
Id alone, resumed their walk up and down the
laurel alley.
8 "I am not so conversant with horses," ob
I- served Thellus, "as I could for your sake at
e, present wish to be. But all animals, I notice,
h- are more quiet when blinded."
ti- At this moment the branohes of a cro~walk
he rustled, and a stately figure in the Greek
ed oloak, approahobed them.
of "Are you not E.milils, the nephew of the
: triumvir T" uasked the stranger.
at "Yes," replied Paulas.
"Who is this 7" continued the new-comer,
i- looking at Thellms. "I have something to say
to which may conoern your safety."
"You may trust this brave man," sald
its Paulus; "It is my friend Thellas."
iPi " Well," pursued the other, in a very low
ld, tone, "take this little pot of ointment; and
o, two hours o're you have to ride the Sejan
!5 horse, go into a stable, make friends with
of him, and rub as nostrils with the contents.
He will be th muzzled, you know. You will
he find him afte ard docile."
Lot " Whom h e I to thank for so much interest
re- in me 7" de uaded Panlus.
"My nam is Charioles,n replied the straunger
's hesitating , and still spelaking almost in a
wbisper; 'and I have the honor of numbering
ed Dionysal of Athens among the best of my
r- friends."
re- "My m her," returned Paulus, "would, I
think, be g to see you some day soon."
" I shall it an honor; hut pray exeuse
Lu- me to her to- ight," nid Charteles. "Tlberlas
Ca'sr knows othig of ay oybease, 5as I ha
;S P~r isaa~. -": ·':"
"But would this ointment injure the horse "
inquired Paulus.
"Not by any means," said Charoles; "it
comes from a distant eastern land. It will
merely make him sleepy. I have been more
than an hour and a balf handling the ingre
dients, and I canhardly keep awake mysl:.
Forgive my harry-faewell." And the stately
Greek madran obelisane as be disappeared.
Paulus remained, holding the pet, which
consisted of some kind of poroelabn, in his
hand, and looking at it, when Thellos ex
claimed :
" Why, this laurel hedge is alive i"
In a moment he had sprung through it and
returned, dragging in his mighty grasp Lygdas
the slave.
" Not yet departed " said Thellus.
"Sir, I was asleep," replied the slave, with a
look of terror.
" I'have but to tighten my fingers," cried
Thellus, "and you will sleep so as not to awake
in a hurry."
" Thellas," observed Paulus, " I am not de
pending either on this man's knowledge or on
this man's ignorance. I have quite other
hopes and other grounds of confidence. Let
him go."
"Ah I" said Thellas, "I would like to have
the chastising of you. But go, as this noble
gentleman desires; go, then, as the young
Roman knight bids you 1"
He shook the reptile-headed, down-looking,
and side-looking slave away, and the latter.
disappeared.
" Ofriend and noble sir l" said Thellus, " it
nearly breaks my heart to see you thus bound
hand and foot, and doomed to destruction."
" Have a good heart, dear Thellas," said
Paulus.
so they parted, the gladiator returning to
his vehicle, and Paulus retiring to his room,
where, as he lay on his bed and listened to
the plash of the fountain in the implavium, he
silently and calmly offered back to the great
unknown God whom Dionyslus worshipped the
life which he, that unknown Deity, could alone
have given.
