Fame is the shade of immortality.

Acts.

POMPEY and Crassus triumph before their Consulate, B. C. 71. The former had closed the ten years' war in Lusitania; and Crassus the revolt of Spartacus at home. Marcus Lucullus triumphed the same year, bringing with him the Thracian colossus of Apollo.

Election of the Emperor Pertinax, by birth a Piedmontese, A. D. 192. The successive flights of the tributary Hiong-nou, or Huns, from their pastoral homes in Mongolia beyond the Caspian to the confines of the Baltic was the cause (not the means) of the fall of the ROMAN EMPIRE. Deserting their forests before this swarm of Scythians, the Vandals, Sueves, Alani, and Burgundians (by the generic title of Goths), made their first irruption westward, under King Radagaisus, the Barbarian of Mecklenburg: they passed the Alps, the Po, and the Apennines, besieged Florence (a colony of the triumvirs), and threatened Rome herself, when by a potent victory at Fasule Stilicho dispersed the remnant, a loose but headless band, 100,000 strong, which entered Gaul upon the last day of the year, whose seventeen luxurious provinces they laid desolate unopposed with havoc and flame, from the banks of the Rhine to the foot of the Pyrenæan mountains, A. D. 406.-See 24th Aug. The acquisition of Sicily from the Goths, 535. Belisarius entered Syracuse in triumph, a city which once embraced two and twenty miles.

The two sons of Boethius are chosen consuls in their non-age, in testimony of the public virtues of that distinguished senator, who is crowned in the Senate House, and saluted "King of Eloquence," A.D. 521. The Mediterranean frozen, when travellers passed the Ionian sea, 860. The Privy Council address letters of reproof to the justices of Middlesex and Surrey respecting the increased abuse of stage plays in and about the city of London. This arose from a complaint made by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of these civic enormities.'-See 22nd June. Restoration of the Gregorian calendar in France 10 Nivose, 1805. The epact of the solar beyond the lunar year is 10d. 21h. 11'. 22′′.

The muse Thalia presides over pastoral and mirthful numbers. She leans upon a column, and holds the crook and mask of nature. Her dress is short, and free from ornament. See the ninth' Ode of Horace. It is now middle summer with the natives of the Cape of Good Hope.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
