There are two ways to live on earth; Two wars to Judge, to act, to view; For all things here have double birth A right, a wrong; a faise, a true. Give me the home where kindness seeks To make that sweet which seemeth small; Where cry lip in fondness speaks. And cry mind hath care for all; Whose inmates live in glad exchange Of free from vain espouse; Whose lives beyond their means no'er range, Kor wise denials give offense; Who in a neighbor's fortune find So wish, no impulse to complain; Who feel not never felt the mind To envy yet another's saint Who dream not of the mocking tide Ambition's foiled endeavor meets The bitter pangs of Hounded pride, Nor fallen power that shuns the streets. Though Fate deny its glltt'ring store. Love's wealth is still the wealth to choose; For all that gold can purchase more Are gauds.

During the reign of Honoriusthe defeat of tho Goths in Italy was celebrated by games, but in the midst of the fights in the amphitheater of Vespasian a monk named Telemachns found his way into the arena and parted the combatants with a large processional cross. The populace swarmed over the barricades and tore the monk to pieces, but the moral effect of the heroic act was permanent, and in A. D. 404 an imperial edict abolished gladiatorial sports in the Coliseum, and shortly after throughout the Boman empire.

The fight stopped by Telemachns was the last in the Coliseum, and that structure is now consecrated to the honor of Telemachus and the Christian martyrs who perished in the persecutions by Nero and other emperors.
