INTRODUCTION.
STUDENTS who need practice in translating English into
French, beyond the routine of grammatical exercises, as
an introductory course to French composition, can find
no book better adapted to their requirements than Sadler's " Petit Cours de Versions."
The varied, topics of its entertaining anecdotes afford
exercises admirably calculated to promote proficiency in
the French language, at the same time that they impress
moral truth and noble sentiments. Hence the popularity
of this little work notwithstanding a serious impediment
thrown in the way of the learner, in the Paris edition
(the only one hitherto published), which, being intended
for French scholars studying English, contains directions
in regard to the English idioms, instead of the French;
an anomaly in the hands of Americans, and also a puzzle,
as they must throughout take the reverse of the explanations given.
It is in order to remove this difficulty that the present
edition is issued, with the following changes:

difficulty in finding the one
looked for, renders them almost useless.

many words.                  with the following important
additions:
To the verbs and adjectives
have been joined the prepositions to be used before infinitives and complements.  (See
Appendix, page 263.) This
cannot fail to be considered an
improvement by all who have
experienced  the  difficulties
arising from the lack of such
directions.
It will be noticed that the French language has been
retained in the notes, it being admitted by all experienced Teachers, that pupils, when sufficiently advanced,
derive more benefit from studying in French texts.
The grammatical explanations introduced in the notes
bear exclusively on idiomatical peculiarities, which learners
are generally inclined to lose sight of. They will save
much trouble to both students and teachers, without
lessening in any way the role of the latter, as the leading
rules have been left untouched, this book being not intended to be a grammatical instructor.
As may be inferred from the above, it has been the aim
of the author of these alterations to appropriate this
edition to the use of Americans, just as the Paris one is
to that of the French. He ventures to hope that the
work thus submitted will prove both useful and agreeable to students, and therefore meet the approval of all
interested in giving French instruction.

SADLER'S EXERCISES.
Integrity of a Soldier.
A king of Northumberland, named Anlaff, hav.
ing been deprived of his kingdom by Athelstan,
king of the West Saxons, assembled a numerous
force and marched to' attack the invader. The
two armies met and prepared for battle, and Anlaff, wishing to learn the strength and the arrangements of his adversary, disguised himself as as
harper and went into Athelstan's camp. Having
played on' his harp from tent to tent, he was at
length conducted to the royal pavilion. The king
was so well pleased with' his music that, on his
departure, he gave him a handsome recompense.'Anlaff, disdaining to keep the money that his enemy

had given him, buried it in the ground before he
left the camp.
This excited suspicion in a soldier who observed
him, and on' approaching he recognised him notwithstanding his disguise. As soon as he was gone the
soldier presented himself before Athelstan, and said,
"Sire, the harper who has given' you so much pleasure, and whom you have rewarded so handsomely,
is no other than Anlaff, your mortal enemy." —
"Traitor," replied the king, "Cwhy did not you tell
me that while he was in my power?"-" Because,"
answered the soldier, "I am not a traitor; I have
served in his army, and have sworn never to betray
him; if I had done it, I should be as capable of betraying you; but I advise you to alter your arrangements before you give battle."-Athelstan followed
the soldier's advice, and changed his quarters to
another part of the camp, by which means his life
was saved, for the same night a party of Anlaff's
troops entered' the camp and murdered all who were
in the pavilion that Athelstan had left. This attack
brought on a general battle, which ended in the
total defeat of Anlaff and his followers.

Walter Scott at School.
It appears that when this celebrated author was
at school, though very laborious, his intelligence
was not brilliant, and his great success in after
rifel was owing to' his indefatigable perseverance.
The following anecdote is found in his Autobiography' lately published.
" There was," says Walter Scott, " a boy in my
class who stood always at the top,' and I could not,
with all my efforts, supplant him. Day came after
day,' and still he kept his place: till at length I
observed that, when a question was asked him, he
always fumbled with his fingers at a particular button on the lower part6 of his waistcoat while seeking an answer. I thought therefore' if I could
remove the button slily, the surprise at not finding
it might derange his ideas at the next interrogation
of the class, and give me a chance of taking him
down'. The button was therefore removed without

success of my measure, and it succeeded but too well.
" The hour of interrogation arrived, and the boy
was questioned: he sought, as usual, with his fin.
gers, for the friendly button, but could not find
it. Disconcerted, he looked down'; the talisman'
was gone, his ideas became confused, he could not
reply. I seized the opportunity, answered the
question, and took his place, which he never recovered, nor do I believe' he ever suspected the
author of the trick.
" I have often met with' him since we entered
the world, and never without6 feeling my conscience
reproach me.  Frequently have I resolved to make
him some amends' by' rendering him a service;
but an opportunity did not present itself, and I
fear I did not seek one with as much ardour as I
sought to supplant him at school."

Cruelty of King John.
The Jews, since their dispersion, have been fre.
quently treated with cruelty by Christian kings.
John of England, being much in want' of money
and knowing that many of the Jews in his kingdom  were very rich, taxed them  very heavily,
and threw them into prison, to remain there till'they
would pay. Several of them gave all they possessed;
but the king was not satisfied, believing they
had yet money concealed: he therefore ordered
them to be tortured until they would acknowledge
it.
Some were deprived of an eye, and one in particular', from whom a sum of ten thousand marks
was demanded, was treated with yet greater cruelty.  The king ordered that one of his teeth should
be pulled out every day till he paid the money.
The Jew, not being disposed to reduce himself to
poverty, resisted during a whole week, and thus
lost seven of his teeth; but, unable to bear the'To be in want, avoir besoin.

and Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg,
who was afterwards king of Prussia, an officer of
the staff' observing that the prince rode a white
horse, and that it rendered him conspicuous to the

Frederick refused at first, saying he fea'ed no

A Mystery cleared up'.
A few years ago' some persons were travelling
in a stage-coach towards London, and at the approach of night they began to express their fears
of being attacked by highwaymen. One gentleman said he had ten guineas about him' and did
not know where to hide them for safety. A lady
who sat next to him in the coach advised him to
conceal them in his boots, which he immediately
did. Soon after a highwayman came up' and
demanded their purses: the lady told him that she
thad no~ money, but that if' he would search that
gentleman's boots he would  find  ten  guineas.

A gentleman of Oliver Cromwell's domestic
establishment had conceived a great affection for
the Protector's youngest daughter; the young
lady did not discourage him, and at length he
proposed a secret marriage, as there was no hope

having discovered the secret, communicated it to
Cromwell, who gave him orders to watch, and to
let him know' the next time the gentleman and

of it, suddenly entered his daughter's room, where
he found the gentleman on his knees' before her.
The Protector in a fury demanded an explanation of his conduct, and the other with great
presence  of mind replied, "May it please' your
highness, I have a great affection for your daughter's chamber-maid; but she refuses to give me her
hand; so, thinking this young lady had great influence over her, I was soliciting that she would
intercede for me."
" Oh!" replied Oliver, "if that's the case, I will
see what I can do for you."-And calling the young
woman, he said to her, " Why do you refuse the
honour of marrying' Mr. White? he is, my friend,

that the cutler soon made a fortune, and retired
from business.
Soon after the Restoration, it was proposed tc
erect a new statue to the memory of the unfortunate king: the cutler, hearing' of this, informed
the government that he could spare them' the
trouble and expense of casting a statue, as the old
one was yet in his possession, and that he would
sell it to them at a moderate price. The bargain
was concluded, and the statue, which he had
secretly preserved, was re-elevated on the pedestal

Honourable Conduct of King John of France.
The name of John does not appear to have been
in favour, either in the royal families of England or
of France, as we find but one monarch of that
name in each of those countries, unless we reckon
the John who reigned but four days in France,
from the 15th to the 19th' of November 1316.
The characters of the other two Johns were very
opposite to each other. John of England was
cruel, vindictive, rapacious, and cowardly; and
during a reign of nearly.seventeen  years was
perpetually at war with his subjects.  John of
France, on the contrary, whose reign was nearly as
long (from 1350 to 1364), occupied himself so
much about the welfare of his people, that he
acquired the surname of the Good.
John after fighting' heroically at the battle of
Poitiers, had the misfortune to be made prisoner by
the English. He was taken' to London, where he
remained until4 a treaty was signed by which he

the ransom of himself and the other prisoners, and
to leave Gascony, Calais, Guines, and several other
places in possession of the English.
The king was then set at liberty, and returned to
France, leaving the dukes of Anjou and Berry, his
sons; the duke of Orleans, his brother; and the
duke of Bourbon, his cousin, as hostages for the
payment of the ransom.  Some difficulties having
arisen' as to the execution of the treaty, the princes
obtained permission to go overl to Calais on parole', saying they should be better able to explain

The duke of Anjou, however, violated his parole,

John, highly displeased at such want of faith',

Desperate Patriotism
During the wars of Napoleon in Spain, a regiment of the guard of Jerome, ex-king of Westphalia, arrived under the walls of the monastery of
Figueiras. The general sent a message to the
prior to demand refreshment' for his officers and
men. The prior replied, that the men would find
good quarters in the town, but that he and his
monks would entertain the general and his staff'.
About an hour afterward a plentiful dinner was
served; but the general, knowing by experience
how necessary it was for the French to be on their
guard when eating and drinking with Spaniards,
invited the prior and two of the monks to dine
with him.
The invitation was accepted in such a manner' Refreshment, des vivres.

and said: " Gentlemen, if- you have any worldly
affairs to settle, there is no time to lose,; this is the
last meal' you and I shall take on earth; in an hour
we shall know the secrets of the world to come4."
The prior and his two monks had put a deadly

the French officers, and notwithstanding the antidotes immediately given by the doctors, in less
than an hour every man, hosts and guests,' had

King Alfred, who ascended the throne of England

The king, after much reflection, and many ex.

twelve divisions or inches, so that he knew nearly
how the day was going, as the consumption of each
candle marked the expiration of a sixth part, or
about four hours, and each division or inch denoted the lapse of twenty minutes.
By these means Alfred obtained what he desired,
an exact admeasurement of time; and the improvements which took place' during his reign show that

The Dog and the Patties.
Another dog, named Black-Muzzle', had been
tamught to go on errands', and was sent one day to
the pastry-cook's, to fetch some patties in an open
basket. On his return' he was followed by a dog
that put his nose into the basket, and took out a
patty. Black-Muzzle, to revenge the insult, put
down the basket, and attacked the dainty robber.
The noise of the combat soon attracted other dogs,
and they also fell on the contents of the basket.
Black-Muzzle, seeing there was no means of saving
the patties, left off fighting, and in order not to
lose his share of the patties, began to devour, as
quickly as possible, what yet remained of them.

Dean Swift, a celebrated English writer, and

During the wars in Italy, a gentleman who was

saying he hoped the general would not let them go
unpunished. Facino, looking at the gentleman,
asked him how he was dressed when he lost his

When the German princess Mary of Nieuburg,
who became wife of Philip IV. of Spain, was
on her way to Madrid, she passed through a little

and  stockings.  The citizens and magistrates
thought they could not better express their joy at

their town was remarkable. The mayordomo',
who conducted the princess, received the gloves
very graciously; but when the stockings were presented, he flung them away with indignation, and

Ventriloquy.
Ventriloquy is the art of speaking inwardly
without any apparent motion of the lips or other
organs of speech, and of disguising the voice so as
to' make it appear that of another person, and to
issue from another place. Some years ago2 there
was in England a man named Hoskins, who
possessed this art in a very eminent degree', and
by the aid of it' frequently amused himself at the
expense of' others. He was once travelling on
foot' in the country, and overtook on the road a
carter driving a team with a load of hay. After
walking some time and conversing with the
countryman, Hoskins imitated the crying of a child.
As there was not any child to be seen', the carter
appeared surprised, and asked Hoskins if he had
not heard it; he replied, " Yes," and almost at the
same instant the cry was repeated. It appeared
this time to come from under the hay in the cart,
and the ventriloquist insisted that the carter had
concealed a child there.

The poor fellow, astonished and alarmed, stopped
his horses and unloaded the cart truss by truss; no
child however was found, and he reloaded it;
which he had scarcely done when the cry was
again distinctly heard. The countryman, frightened out of his wits, immediately took to his heels',
and running to the nearest village, told the villagers
that he had met the devil on the road, and begged
them to go and assist him to recover his cart and
horses which he had left in his clutches. The
peasants immediately set off armed with pitchforks and flails, and soon arrived in sight of the
supposed devil, who having a wooden leg could
not run away. After some difficulty, he persuaded
them to let him approach and convince them that
he was really a human being.
They were for a long time incredulous, and the
experiments' he made of his art increased their
belief in his diabolical character. At length,
fortunately for Hoskins, the village curate arrived,
and explained the matter to the satisfaction of the
peasants, who then agreed to accompany the
ventriloquist to the next public house, where he
treated them with beer and a lunch. Soon after

On the Folly of Believing in Ghosts.
The ridiculous stories of apparitions which we
hear and read, are generally either fictions to impose
on weak minds, wicked tricks to frighten or to
rob the timid, or reveries of disordered imaginations. The following story, which may be found
in the Children's JMlagazine, will serve as a proof,
and we hope, as a caution to children, that they
ought not to listen to such follies.
A gentleman was travelling on horseback, some

them if, in the course of an hour, I don't show you

The page, however, fearing all was not right
(a guilty conscience needs no accuser'), determined
to send the note by another hand4, and just as he
was going out at the palace door', he met a Jew
banker who was well known at' court, and asked
him to carry the note. The Jew, glad of an
opportunity of obliging any one at the palace,
immediately set off. On his arrival at the guardhouse, the officer read the note, and telling the
messenger to wait, he called out the guard'. The
Jew, thinking it was to do honour to him, as a
messenger from court, begged the officer not to
give himself any unnecessary' trouble.-I do not,
replied he; these ceremonies are quite necessary,

One of them was disputing with a dervise, and
said to him, " You tell me that God is omnipresent,

The dervise, after a moment's reflection, took up
a large lump of earth, struck the atheist a violent
blow with it3, and then left him. The latter went
directly to the cadi, complained of the injury, and
demanded justice; the dervise was summoned to

had struck him.-" What I did," replied the dervise,

Canine Sagacity.
Among the many3 surprising stories that are told
of the intelligence of that faithful animal, the dog,
the following one is given as a fact.-A large dog
was playing in the road near a country village, and
a carriage went over one of his paws; he howled
most piteously4, and some farriers who were at
work in a shop close by' came out to see what was
the matter. One of them, perceiving that the poor
thing was much hurt, took him up, dressed his paw
and wrapped it up, after which he let him go. The

dog went home, where he remained during some
days; but at length, his paw becoming painful, he
returned to the farrier's, and, holding it up, moaned,
to show that it pained him. The farrier dressed it
again, and the dog, after licking his hand to show
his gratitude, returned home, and the paw in a few
days was well.
Some months after, the same dog was playing
with another, not far from the spot, and a similar
accident happened to the latter; upon which he
took him by the ear, and with much difficulty led
him to the farrier's shop, where he had been so
well doctored. The workmen were much amused
at' the sagacity of the animal, and paid as much
attention' to the new patient as they had to the
former one.

A Singular Justification.
A reaper being at work in a field in Devonshire',
near the banks of a river, saw a man throw himself into the water; he ran directly to his assistance, plunged in', and brought him to the shore.
Having left him and returned to his work, he very
soon saw him again leap in'. A second time the
reaper jumped into the river, and, with difficulty,
rescued him; he then recommended him to go
home, and not attempt such a foolish action as to
drown himself. The reaper then resumed his
labour, but, in a short time', saw the same man
hang himself to the branch of a tree.

As the emperor was about to' take the phial,
one of the ministers, who had more judgment than
his majesty, snatched it from his hand, and immediately drank off a part of its contents. The
monarch, enraged at' his presumption, immediately
ordered him to be put to death; but the minister

The Wise Fool, and the Professor of Signs.
The following anecdote is related as true, at the
University of Oxford, in England. A celebrated
foreign linguist was at London, and wishing to converse in the learned languages with some of the
most renowned of the English professors, he obtained a recommendation to' one of the first masters
at Oxford. The professor, knowing the day and
manner of his arrival, and wishing to surprise him,
placed several of the students, dressed as peasants,
at short distances from each other on the road leading to the town, with instructions to answer him in
Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, French, or Italian,
if he should interrogate them, or to ask him some
question in those languages if he did not.
He was recognised on his approach' by one of
the scholars, who asked him in French what o'clock
it was. He answered him, and appeared much
astonished at hearing a peasant speak a foreign
language; thinking however it might be some per.

son who had seen better days', and was reduced by
misfortune, he rode on'; but his curiosity being
excited, he asked the next countryman he saw, how
far it was to Oxford: judge his surprise on receiving an answer in good Latin. As he approached
the town, his astonishment was excited to the highest degree by answers or questions in various lan.
guages ancient and modern.
On arriving at the house of the professor, he told
him he had already sufficient proofs of the superior
knowledge of the members of the University, whose
influence spread to the very peasants3 on the road.But, added he, have you any one who perfectly
understands the language of signs, so as to' make
himself immediately understood?-The professor,
after a moment's reflection, replied: I will introduce
you to one, if you will take dinner with me.-The

said he, dress up as a' student one-eyed George
the fool, and we shall have some good sport with
the doctor.-A  good idea, said the other.-This
George, you must know,' was an idiot, who had
but one eye, and used to do little jobs for the collegians.
After dinner, the professor sent for George, and
told him that a gentleman who had heard' much
of him, wished to see him, and that he must meet
him at ten o'clock on the next morning at a certain
place; but that the person was extremely deaf,
therefore he must only talk by signs.-Very well,
sir, said George, I will be there.-The professor
then returned, and informed his guest that he had
found the person, and that he would wait for him
at ten o'clock on the following morning.-That is
unfortunate, said the gentleman, for I have ordered
the post-chaise to call for me at that hour, but the
postilion will wait.
A little before ten, the linguist found George
according to appointment4; they both remained
silent for some minutes, and then the gentleman
held up one finger; George looked steadfastly at

then held up three; upon which George, with great
vivacity, firmly raised his clinched fist'.  The
stranger then looked at his watch, and seeing it
was late, hurried off to his chaise, which was waiting at the professor's door, telling him that his
friend -had surpassed his expectation.-I waited,
said he, for him to begin, but seeing he did not, I
held up one finger to signify there is but one God;
he immediately understood me, and held up two of
his, showing that there are two, Father and Son;
I answered by raising three, Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit; upon which he clinched his fist, as if he
dared any one to insinuate, that though they were
three, they were not united in one.-Finding it was
late I came away', and I beg you will express to
your friend my great admiration of his talent.
The linguist then set off, but he was scarcely
gone, when George arrived in a fury, crying out:
Where is the insolent fellow you sent to mock me?
-What is the matter, George? said the professor.

in the face, holds up one finger, meaning that I had

and he would not.do them such an injustice as to
run the chance of plunging them into misery; and,

A sailor, belonging to a merchant vessel, set off
from London to join his ship, which was in the
Downs. He arrived towards night at the little
town of Northfleet, which is about twenty miles
from the capital, on the south bank of the Thames.
Being much fatigued, he entered a public house,
and requested a lodging, but was told that all the
beds were engaged. Another sailor, named Gwinnett, who was in the room, said, Shipmate, I will
give you half my bed. The offer was gladly accepted, and after drinking a glass of grog,' the two
sailors went to bed.

reckoning, and went away. Soon after he was
gone, the maid went into the bed-room to call the
sailor, but he was not there. The landlord sought
him  all over the house, but he was nowhere' to be
found, and some spots of blood being discovered,
they were traced to the privy, which was close to
the river side, where a knife was also found with
Gwinnett's name upon it.
It was immediately suspected, that he had mur
dered his bed-fellow, and thrown his body into the
Thames. He was pursued and taken, and a strict
search was made after the body', but without
success. Appearances were so strong against
Gwinnett, that he was tried and condemned to be
hanged and gibbeted on a common not far from
the spot of the supposed murder. On the day of
his execution, there happened one of the most
dreadful storms of thunder, lightning, and rain,

storm.
Some hours after a boy who was driving home
some cows near the spot, thought he heard a
groan; he ran home in terror', and told2 his master,
who went with some of his men, and discovered
that the body was not dead; they took it down,
conveyed it home, and Gwinnett was soon restored
to life. He solemnly vowed to the farmer that he
was innocent of the crime, and begged he would
assist him to escape. The farmer lent him a
disguise, and he hastened to a sea-port, where he
embarked on board a ship that was just sailing for
the Levant.
While he was in the Mediterranean, the ship
was boarded by the crew of a man of war, and
Gwiniett, with some others of the merchantman,
was pressed into the king's service. He had not
been long on board the ship of war, when he
observed a sailor who very much resembled the
one with whom he had slept at Northfleet, and, on
questioning him, discovered that he was the very
man for whose murder he had been hanged. IIe
asked him the cause of his sudden disappearance,

to open the door, he had taken his knife which he
found on the table; that on his return across the
road, a press-gang was passing: they took him, and
he was immediately sent on board a ship going up
the Straits of Gibraltar.
Gwinnett then related his unfortunate adventure,
and it was agreed that, when the ship returned' to
England, they should present themselves to the
officers of justice, and prove the innocence of poor
Gwinnett; but, for fear any accident should happen
to either of them, they declared the whole affair to
their captain. A few days after, the ship fell in
with an enemy, and an unlucky shot deprived
Gwinnett of his friend; however, when he returned
to England, his innocence was acknowledged.

England. The duke insisted that if any one should
declare he would creep into a wine-bottle, there
were fools enough to fill a theatre, and who would
pay their money in expectation of seeing it. Some
of the company denied that the English were such
fools, and the duke offered a wager that he would
prove it, and that he would fill a theatre by
announcing such an exhibition. The bet was
accepted, and the duke immediately published the
following advertisement in all the newspapers:

endeavoured to draw him into conversation', but
without success, his only answers being, "Yes, sir:
No, sir: I don't know: I believe so," etc.
Determined to obtain some information concerning him, the duke ordered one of his servants to

they could live more cheaply than in London; that
he transmitted them the greater part of his pay,

The duke, after having obtained further information concerning the residence of the family, determnined to do something for the officer, and to
procure him an agreeable surprise. In a few days,
the preparations being complete, he sent one of his
servants into the park, to tell him that his master

lady of his acquaintance, who knew his circumstances and was greatly interested in his welfare, wished
very much to see him; that the lady was to dine

him to her. The officer had scarcely recovered

It appears that the duke had sent a messenger to

The insect, not finding a firm hold for its little

yet immediately recommenced  its efforts. The
perseverance of the insect attracted the attention
of the king, and he beheld with regret every unsuccessful attempt. The spider, however, recommenced after every fall, and, at length, after twelve
failures, Bruce saw with pleasure, the thirteenth
trial crowned with success". He immediately
exclaimed: "What a lesson for mankind! I will
profit by it, for it is the best I ever received. I
have been already twelve times defeated by the
superior force of my enemies; I will follow the

The Mysterious Englishmen.
In the year 1767, two Englishmen landed at
Calais; they did not go to Dessin's hotel, which
was at that time much frequented by their countrymen, but took up their lodging2 at an obscure inn
kept by  a man  named Dulong.   The landlord
expected every day that they would set off for
Paris, but they made no preparations for departure,
and did not even inquire what was worth seeing' at
Calais.  The only amusement they took was to go
out sometimes a shooting'.
The landlord began, after a few weeks, to wonder
at their stay, and used to gossip, of an evening',
with his neighbour the grocer upon the subject.

Sometimes they decided that they were spies, at
other times they were suspected to be runaways.
However they lived well, and paid so liberally, that
it was at last concluded they were fools; which
was confirmed, in the opinion of NI. Dulong, by a
proposition they soon after made to him.
They called him into their room and said,
"Landlord, we are very well satisfied with your
table and your wine, and if the lodging suited us,
we should probably remain with you some time
longer; but unfortunately all your rooms look inte
the street', and the smacking of postilions' whips,
and the noise of the carriages disturb us very much."
Monsieur IDulong began to feel alarmed, and said
if it were possible to make any arrangements to
render them more comfortable' he would gladly do
it.-" Well then," said one of them, "we have a
proposal to make which will be advantageous to
you; it will cost some money, it is true, but we will
pay half the expense, and our stay will give you an
opportunity of reimbursing yourself."-" Well,"
said the landlord, "what is it?"  "Why," said the
Englishman, " your garden is very quiet, and if you
will run up a wall in the corner, you can easily
make us two rooms, which is all we shall want; the

expense will not be great, as the old wall that is
there will form two of the sides, and your house
will be worth so much the more'.
Dulong was glad to find so easy a method' of
preserving such3 profitable guests: the rooms were
constructed, the Englishmen took possession, and
appeared very comfortable; living in their usual
manner' to the great satisfaction and profit of the
landlord; though he was at a loss' to imagine why
they should shut themselves up in such an obscure
corner. Thus passed about two months, when one
day they told him that they were going on6 a shooting

suspicious, and, at last, on the eighth day, he sent
for the police officers, and the door was broken
open in presence of the necessary witnesses.  On
the table was found the following note:
"Dear Landlord,-You know, without doubt,
that your town of Calais was in the possession of
the English during two hundred years; that it was
at length retaken by the Duke of Guise, who treated
the English inhabitants as our Edward III. had
treated the French; that is, seized their goods and
drove them out. A short time ago' we discovered,
among some old family papers, some documents
of one of our ancestors, who possessed a house at
Calais where yours now  stands.  From3 these
documents we learned that on the retaking4 of
Calais, he was obliged to flee; but in hopes of
being able to return, he buried a very considerable
sum of money close to a wall in his garden: the
paper contained also such an accurate description
of the spot that we doubted not of being able to
discover it. We immediately came to Calais, and

Poor Dulong was dumb with astonishment3;

at the empty chest, they both shrugged up their
shoulders, and acknowledged that the Englishmen were not quite such fools as they had taken
them for4.,udge not the action of any one, without knowing the motives.

poor thing soon died. The empress was so fond of
the little animal, that she determined to have him
stuffed and put into a glass case'. On the morning
after his death, she said in French to one of her
officers, " Go directly, take Sutherland, and see

honour, that I have neither done, said, nor even

accompanied, as usual, by his favourite dog; but
the sentinel at the door would not admit him, and
the master left him in the guard-house in care of a
soldier. The count had not been long in the saloon
before he perceived that his watch had been stolen;
he complained to the police officers who were present, and they assured him they would use all their
endeavours to find it.-" I have a very sure method
of finding it," said Oginski, " if you will admit my
dog and lock the doors; I promise you he will not
harm anybody."-The officers consented, and the
dog was admitted..
After a few mutual caresses the count walked
around the room with him; then stopping in the
middle, and tapping with his hand upon his fob, he
said, "Strimki, go and find it," pointing at the
same time' around the saloon. Strimki began
immediately to examine every one, smelling their
clothes, and at last he stopped short before a very
well-dressed man, and began barking. The count
immediately made himself known to the company,
saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been
robbed of my watch, and that man has it. I insist
on his being searched, and if it be found that I have
accused him unjustly, I will answer for the conse1 " At the same time," en mnmne temrs. ou au mame moment.

great admiration of all but one, who was immediately kicked out of the room.
The Chimney-sweepers' Peast, or the Lost Child
found.'
There was formerly at London, on the first of
May of every year, a superb feast given to the
chimney-sweepers of the metropolis, at MontaguHouse, Cavendish-square, the town residence' of
the Montagu family. The custom is said to have
taken its origin from the following circumstance:
Lady Montagu, being at her country-seat, as
usual' in the summer, used to send her little boy
Edward a walking' every day with a footman, who
had strict orders never to lose sight of him. One
day, however, the servant, meeting an old acquaintance, went into an alehouse to drink, and left the
little boy running about by himself6.  After staying
some time drinking, the footman came out to look

for the child to take him home to dinner, but he
could not find him. He wandered about till night,
inquiring at every cottage and every house, but in
vain, no Edward could be found. The poor mother,
as may well be imagined, was in the greatest
anxiety about the absence of her dear boy; but it
would be impossible to describe her grief and des.
pair when the footman returned, and told her he
did not know what had become of him. People'
were sent to seek him in all directions; advertisements were put in all the newspapers; bills were
stuck up in London, and in most of the great towns
of England, offering a considerable reward to any
person who would bring him or give any news of
him. All endeavours were, however, unsuccessful,
and it was concluded that the poor child had fallen
into some pond, or that he had been stolen by gipsies, who would not bring him back for fear of
being punished.
Lady Montagu passed two long years in this
miserable uncertainty: she did not return to
London as usual in the winter, but passed her time
in grief andtsolitude in the country. At length one
of her sisters married', and, after many refusals,' Lorsque people peut etre remplace en anglais par le mot

Lady Montagu consented to give a ball and supper
on the occasion at her town house. She arrived at
London to superintend the preparations, and while
the supper was cooking, the whole house was
alarmed by a cry of fire'!
It appears that one of the cooks had overturned
a saucepan, and set fire' to the chimney. The
chimney-sweepers were sent for, and a little boy
was sent up3; but the smoke nearly suffocated him,
and he fell into the fire-place. Lady Montagu
came herself with some vinegar and a smellingbottle; she began to bathe his temples and his
neck, when  suddenly she  screamed out, Oh!
Edward! and fell senseless on the floor. She soon
recovered, and taking the little sweep in her arms,
pressed him to4 her bosom, crying, It is my dear
Edward! It is my lost boy!
It appears she had recognised him by a mark on
his neck. The master-chimney-sweeper, on being
asked where he had obtained the child, said he had
bought him about a year before of a gipsy woman,
who said he was her son. All that the boy could
remember was, that some people had given him
fruit, and told him they would take him home to

his mamma; but that they took him a long way'
upon a donkey, and after keeping him a long, long
while', they told him he must go and live with the
chimney-sweep, who was his father: that they had
beaten him so much whenever he spoke of his
mamma and of his fihe house, that he was almost
afraid to think of it. But he said his master, the
chimney-sweeper, had treated him very well.
Lady Montagu rewarded the man handsomely,
and from that time she gave a feast to all the
chimney-sweepers of the metropolis on the 1st of
May, the birth-day of little Edward, who always
presided at the table, which was covered with the
good old English fare', roast-beef, plum-pudding,
and  strong beer.  This circumstance happened
many, many years ago4, and Lady Montagu and
Edward are both dead; but the 1st of May is still
celebrated as the chimney-sweepers' holiday, and

Noble Blood. A Lesson for Pride.
A very good king, who loved his subjects, and
whose constant care was, by making them happy,
to show that he considered them as his family, had
a son whose disposition was so contrary to that of
his father, that he despised all those who were
beneath him; considering himself a superior crea.
ture, and that those whom fortune had placed
under him, were unworthy of his notice, or fit only
to be the slaves of his will. Unfortunately his
education had been confided to men who had Ilot
had sufficient courage to correct his impetuous and
haughty temper, and the good king his father saw
him arrive at the age of manhood', possessing a
character and opinions which, if ever he came to
reign, would change his faithful subjects to enemies, and make his throne a seat of thorns instead
of roses.
At length the prince married' a foreign princess
and became a father; and the king, by the advice
of one of his faithful courtiers, thought this a
favourable opportunity to give him a lesson on the
nobility of birth. For this purpose', on the morning

after his child was born, another infant of the same
age, dressed exactly in the same manner', was
placed in the cradle by the side of it'.
The prince, on rising, went to see his little son;
but what was his surprise on finding two children
resembling each other so much, that he could not
distinguish his own! He called the servants, and
finding them equally embarrassed, he gave way to
his rage', swearing that they should be all discharged, and severely punished.  The king, his
father, arrived at the same instant, and hearing
the complaints of the prince, he said, smilingly to
him, How is it possible4 you should mistake and
not recognise your own child? is there any other
of such noble blood? can any other child resemble
him so as to' deceive you? where then is your
natural  superiority?-Then  taking  the  infant
prince in his arms, he said, This, my son, is your
child, but I should not have been able to distinguish
him from the other little innocent if precautions
had not been taken, by tying a ribbon round his
leg: in what then, I ask you again, consists our

superiority?  It arises only from  good conduct

The prince blushed, owned he was wrong, and
promised to entertain more philanthropic senti.
ments; but the king fearing he might relapse, took
an opportunity' of giving him another lesson. A
short time after2, the prince being indisposed, the
doctor advised him to be bled', and having to bleed
one of the pages on the same day, the king ordered
the blood to be preserved in separate bowls. A
few hours after, when his son was with him, the
king sent for the doctor, and having ardered the
two bowls to be brought, desired him to examine
the blood, and tell him which was the purest.
The doctor, pointing to one of the bowls, said,
That is far more pure than the other.-That blood,
said the king to his son, was taken from the veins
of your page, and is, it appears, more pure than
yours, because, no doubt4, he lives more simply
and more conformably to the laws of nature: yosee then that by birth all men are equal; they
acquire superiority in proportion as they cultivate
their minds and render themselves useful to manrind.

BUTLER.
A lady who had more money than good sense
was very fond, when she was in the country, of
showing her-jewels and other finery, in order to;astonish the peasants, and give them an idea of her
riches and superiority. One day a miller, who
brought flour to the house, expressed his admiration
of an elegant watch that she wore, and this flattered her pride so much that she showed him a superb
diamond-necklace and bracelets.
The miller, after looking at them for some time
with admiration, said, They are very beautiful, and,
I dare say', very dear.-Indeed, they are very
dear; how much do you suppose they cost?-Upon
my word, I cannot guess, replied he.-Why, they
cost more than' 20,000 (twenty thousand) francs. —
And what is the use of these stones, madam?-Oh,
they are only to wear.-And do they not bring you
anything, madam?-Oh no.-Then, replied the mil
ler, I prefer the two great stones of my mill: they
cost me 1,000 francs, and they bring me 400 francs

body will steal them.-The lady was shocked at the
vulgarity of his ideas, and the miller was astonished
that any one could let so much money remain idle'
in such useless bawbles.
The Biter Bitten.
A French emigrant, who, in 1789, had fled from
the horrors of the revolution, and sought refuge in
WVestphalia, finding the winter approach, and knowing that in that country it is more severe than at
Paris, thought he should do well to lay in a good
provision of wood,' and, seeing a cart-load passing,
he called the carter to ask the price. The man,
seeing he was a foreigner, determined to cheat him,
and, after he had praised the quality of the wood,
told him he would let him have it for three louis,
which, continued he, "is much cheaper than you
could buy it anywhere else'."  The Frenchman,
thinking he had a good bargain4, paid him the
money, and the rogue of a carter', overjoyed at his

boasted how he had cheated the Frenchman.
The landlord of the alehouse was an honest man,
and told him he had done very wrong in deceiving
a foreigner; but he replied, " What is that to you'?
the wood was my own', and I had the right to set
my price on it'."-The landlord said no more, but
when the carter asked him  how much he had to
pay, he replied, " Three louis." —" What! three
louis for a little bread and cheese and a bottle of
beer?" —"Yes, that is th% price; the bread and
cheese belonged to me, and I have the right to set
my price on it: if you are not satisfied, I will go
with you before a magistrate."
They went, and the carter having told his tale,
the magistrate asked the landlord what he had to
say.  He immediately related the whole affair, and
judgment was quickly given5 in his favour; the
carter was obliged to pay him three louis, out of
which' he retulrned him the real value of the wood,
and then carried the rest to the Frenchman; telling

How to Catch a Pickpocket,
A merchant at London, who used to walk very
much in the City, the streets of which are always
crowded and infested by pickpockets, was continually losing either his pocket-book, his snuff-box,
or his purse, without ever being able to discover
the thief. At last he thought of a very ingenious
method which promised success. He went to a
fishing-tackle shop and bought some strong fishhooks, which he got sewed' fast in his pocket with
the points turned downwards, so that anybody
might put their hand into the pocket, but could not
draw it out without being caught.
Thus prepared, he went out as usual to go on'change', desiring one of his clerks' to follow him
at a short distance to be ready in case he should
catch a fish. On passing up Lombard-street, he
felt a slight tug' at his coat, and immediately set

off to run, but was prevented by something holding
him  back'.  He turned and saw the pickpocket,
and said-Why do you hold my coat, sir? let me
go, I am in a great hurry'; at the same time
attempting to snatch the flap from  him', which
drove the fish-hooks further into his hand, and he
cried out-Oh, oh! sir, I cannot, you are tearing
my hand to pieces4; pray' let me go.-Ah! ah! said
the merchant, I have then caught the fish that has
so frequently bitten; you are the pike, or rather
the shark.
By this time' the clerk had come up, and a crowd
being assembled around them, had a hearty laugh
at' the fisherman and fish, whose fin was so firmly
hooked that he was obliged to go with the merchant to a surgeon, and have the flesh cut to disengage the hooks. The gentleman was satisfied with
the trick, and did not send the pickpocket to pri.

recompense for having taught him to play it. The
latter profited by' the opportunity to give him another lesson:-My prince, said he, if you count, you
will find that there are 64 squares on the chessboard; all the reward I ask is that you will give a
grain of wheat for the first square, two for the
second, and continue doubling the number up to'
the last.-Oh! said the prince, if your demand is
so moderate, it will be easily satisfied; make the
calculation, and bring it me to-morrow morning.The Bramin did so, and the prince was greatly

About five o'clock,' one winter's evening, a gentleman on horseback stopped at an inn which was full
of travellers.  He rode into4 the yard, and, calling
the ostler very loud, said, "Here, take care of my
horse and put him in the stable."-" We have no

replied the stable-boy; "but, at all events2, we
must take care of his horse, we shall be answerable

Our traveller now entered the house, and the
landlady told him as the ostler had done, that it
was impossible to lodge him. He cried out loud
enough to stun her, "No compliments, no ceremony, I beg, ma'am, your accommodation will be
very good. I am easily satisfied, and it is quite
useless for you to speak, for I am so deaf that I
cannot hear a cannon."-lHe then took a chair and
seated himself by the fire, as if he had been at
home. Finding no means of getting rid of him, the
landlord and his wife determined to let him pass
the night on the chair, as the beds were all engaged.
Shortly after he saw the dinner served in the

placed himself at the table; it was in vain they

give him the top of the table, and thanking them
for their politeness, he said he was very comfortable
where he was seated.
Finding they could not make him understand,
they let him remain; and after eating a hearty
dinner', he threw a two-franc piece on the table to
pay for his repast; but the landlady pushed it
towards him with disdain, saying-What! do you
suppose that two francs will pay for such a dinner2
as you have eaten?-Oh! I beg pardon, ma'am, replied he, I insist on paying for my own dinner; I
thank these gentlemen for their politeness, but I
will not suffer them to pay for me.-Then looking
at his watch, he went out of the room, wishing
them all good night, and soon found his way' to a

see where he was gone. She soon returned, saying, he had taken possession of one of their bedrooms.

A Salutary Pill.
During an unfortunate campaign in which the
French army suffered great losses, two peasants of
a certain village were called on' to draw for the
conscription;2 one only was wanted to complete
the number, and of the two who were' to draw,
one was the son of a rich farmer, and the other the
child of a poor widow.
The farmer made great interest with4 the superilntendent of the ballot, and promised him a handsome present, if he could find means to prevent his
son from going to the army. In order to accomplish it, he put into the urn two black balls, instead
of one black and one white. When the young men
came, he said-There are a black ball and a white
one in the urn; he5 who draws the black one must
serve.
The widow's son, having some suspicion that all
was not fair, approached the urn, and drew one of
the balls, which he immediately swallowed without

looking at it.-Why, said the superintendent, have
you done that? how are we to know' whether you
have drawn a black or a white ball?-It is very
easy to discover, replied he: let him draw the
other: if I have the black, he must necessarilydraw
the white one.-The superintendent could not refuse; and the farmer's son, putting his hand into
the urn, drew the remaining ball, which, to the
great satisfaction of most of the spectators, was a
black one; the widow's son was thus saved, and
the other obliged to serve, or to find a substitute.
The Danger of being Ungrateful.
An Indian prince, who was very fond2 of going
on the water, had one day the misfortune to fall into
a river; he was drowning', when a slave plunged
in4, caught him by the hair of his head~, dragged
him to the shore, and saved his life. When he had
recovered his senses, he called for the man who had
drawn him out of the water, and finding him to be
a slave, he said-How dare you profane the sacred

Some time after, the prince, in stepping from one
boat to another, fell again into the water, and finding no one attempted to save him, he called out for

A Curious Decision; or Smelling and Hearing.
A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not money
enough to buy himself a dinner, stopped one day
before an eating-house, and remained regaling his
nose with the smell of the victuals. The master of
the shop told him several times to go away, but
the sweep could not leave the savoury smell, though

One Crime generally begets Another.
A bleacher in Ireland had been frequently robbed
of great quantities of linen, and though he had made
the greatest exertions, had never been able to discover the robber. At length he offered 1001. reward'
for the detection of the thief or thieves. A few
nights after, the bleacher was called by one of his
servants, who told him there was a robber in the
bleaching-ground' with a light.
The master immediately armed himself with a
pistol, and the servant with a gun, and went towards
the ground where the linen was spread. They saw
distinctly a person with a lantern stooping down',
or kneeling on the grass, as if in the act of cutting
or rolling up the cloth'. They approached on tiptoe, and as soon as they were near enough, the

was the son of a very honest and industrious man,
who lived at a short distancte.  The cloth was cut
in many places, and rolled up ready to be taken
away; and a knife was found on the spot with the
young man's name on it.
With such evidence nobody, not even the
afflicted father, could doubt the guilt of the young
man.
The servant received the 1001., and was promoted to the place of foreman of the establishment.
A short time after2, some reports were circulated'
which excited great suspicion against him. It was
discovered by some of the servants, that the
unfbrtunate young man had supped with him on
the night of the event, and that he had quitted

He had first borrowed his pocket-knife, and then,
on the evening of the fatal day, went to the bleaching-ground, cut the linen in several pieces, left the

The Bagpiper Revived.
The following event happened in London during
the great plague, which in 1665 carried off nearly
100,000 of the inhabitants.
A bagpiper used to get his living by sitting and
playing his bagpipes every day on the steps of St.
Andrew's' church in Holborn. In order to escape
the contagion, he drank a great quantity of gin;
and, one day, having taken more than usual, he
became so drunk that he fell asleep on the steps.
It was the custom, during the prevalence of' that
terrible disease, to send carts about every night to
collect the dead, and carry them to a common
grave, or deep pit, of which several had been made
in the environs of London.
The men passing with the cart up Holborn-hill,
and seeing the piper extended onl the steps, natu.

cart among the others, without observing that he
had his bagpipes under his arm, and without paying any attention to his dog, which followed the
cart, barking and howling most piteously.
The rumbling of the cart over the stones', and
the cries of the poor dog, soon awoke the piper
from his drunken lethargy, and, not being able to
discover where he was, he began squeezing his bag
and playing a Scotch air, to the great astonishment
and terror of the carters, who immediately fetched
lights, and found the Scot sitting erect2 amid the
dead bodies, playing his pipes.  He was soon released and restored to his faithful dog. The piper
became, from this event, so celebrated, that one of
the first sculptors of that epoch made a statue of
him and his dog, which is still to be seen' at
London.

other being very economical, it was agreed, for
their mutual benefit, that the latter should have
charge of the purse. The spendthrift soon found
himself embarrassed, wishing to buy all the curiosities he saw, and not having money to do it. They
slept both in the same room; and one night, after
they had been some time in bed, the prodigal called
to his friend, saying, William, William!-but William did not answer, till hearing him call very loud,
and fearing he might disturb the people of the
house, he said, Well, what do you want?-Are you
asleep? said the other.-Why? said William.Because if you are not, I want to borrow a pound
of you.-Oh, I am fast asleep, replied he, and have
been some time.
Finding William inexorable, the other used frequently to get out of bed' in the night, and seek
about the room for his purse, but could never find
it. At last they arrived at the end of their journey,
which, owing to William's economy, had cost but
very little: his companion was much pleased, wellknowing, that, if he had kept the purse, it would
have been much more expensive. He then said to
William, Tell me, now there is no more danger,

Avarice Punished.
An avaricious merchant in Turkey, having lost a
purse containing 200 pieces of gold, had it cried by

who had picked it up, went to the crier and told
him it was in his possession, and that he was ready
to restore it on the' proposed conditions; the
owner, having thus learned where his purse was,
thought he would endeavour to recover it without
losing anything. He therefore told the sailor that

and complained to the cadi, who. summoned the

The merchant was then desired to' describe the.emerald, and how it came into his possession;
which he did, but in a manner that convinced the
cadi of his dishonesty, and he immediately gave the

The Double Metamorphosis.
An Irishman was once employed, by a gentleman
at Hampstead, to carry a live hare, as a present, to
one of his firiends at London. It was put into a bag,
and he set off. Hampstead being about five miles
from London, the Irishman stopped half way' at a
public house, to rest himself, and to drink a pint
of beer. Some wags, who were drinking in the
tap-rocm, finding what he had in the bag, de'ermined to play him a trick; and one of them, while
the others kept him in conversation, took out the
hare and put in a cat.
Havfng finished his beer, the Irishman started
with his load. On arriving at London, he said to
the gentleman-Sir, my master has sent you a live
hare. —Very well, said he, let us see it.-He then

adventure, to the amusement of those who had played him the trick. To render the farce complete
they contrived to take out the cat and replace the
hare; and the unsuspecting Irishman set off again
for Hampstead.
On arriving, he said to his master, Sir, do you
know that you have sent a cat instead of a hare?Go along, you stupid fellow, replied the gentleman.
-Well, then, believe your own eyes.-On saying
which he opened the bag, and out leaped the hare.
The Irishman could scarcely believe his eyes, and
appeared for some moments petrified with fear: at
length he ejaculated —By Jasus, it is a hare at Ifampstead, and a cat at London!-Come, come, said the
master, put it into the bag and return.-By Jasus,
master, I shall go no more, for if the vile air of London can change a hare into a cat, it may, perhaps,
change me into an ass; and will I, think you, risk'

to the influence of music that the most timid have

A gentleman named Pellisson was secretary to
Fouquet, minister of finances under Louis XIV.;
but the affairs of the treasury were so badly conducted that the minister was condemned to perpe.
tual imprisonment, and his secretary, Pellisson,
was sentenced to five years' confinement in the
Bastille.
During his imprisonment, Pellisson, who knew the
value of time, and could not remain idle, occupied
himself in reading, in writing, and frequently, as a
kind of relaxation from study, he would play on'
the flute. On these occasions he often remarked
that a large spider, which had made its web in a
corner of his room, came out of its hole and appeared
to listen to the music. Pellisson, to encourage it,
would continue to play, and at last the insect became
so familiar that it would approach the prisoner and
feed in his hand.
This was a great pleasure for Pellisson; he became
fond of the insect he had thus tamed, looked -upon'

it as a companion, and found, even in such society,
a relief from solitude.
The circumstance having come to the knowledge
of the jailers, they communicated it to the governor
of the Bastille, who, being a man incapable of sym.
pathy, fulfilled but too well the duties of his office,
and by his rigorous treatment of the captives rendered imprisonment in that citadel one of the most
dreadful punishments that could be inflicted.
Determined to deprive the prisoner of the consolation he had acquired, the governor went to his
cell and said-Well, Mr. Pellisson, I hear you' have
found a companion. —It is true, replied he, and
though we cannot converse, we understand each
other very well. —But I can hardly believe what I
have been told2, said the governor, and I should
like to  be convinced  of the  truth.-Pellisson,
not suspecting any bad intention, immediately
called the insect, which came and fed in his hand,
and suffered itself to be3 caressed, but the governor, watching an opportunity, brushed it off', and
immediately crushing it under his foot, left the
room  without saying a word. Pellisson was released from prison a short time after by the king,

who restored him to favour and loaded him with

would never forgive the governor that act of waun

Quackery.
The following example of quackery, though of
ancient date, is almost equal to any that the pre
sent time can offer.
A certain quack whose object, like that of all
quacks, was to fill his pockets by imposing on the
ignorant and credulous, once advertised that he
had discovered a new method of imparting knowledge, the effects of which were so sure and so
rapid, that in a single month he could teach a person of the most moderate capacity the Greek and
Latin languages. To excite yet greater astonishment, and give a higher opinion of his own talent,
he declared that, by his process, even beasts could
be taught to understand and to speak, and that he
would undertake to render an ass capable of passing an examination for a doctor's degree, in a certain space of time.
The king having heard of the impudent effrontery of this pretended scholar, determined, by giving
him some employment himself, to prevent him from
making a prey of his people. He therefore sent fbr




ENGLISH INTO FRENCzH.           155
him; and said-I have been informed, sir, that you
have discovered a method of teaching animals to
speak, and that you can qualify an ass for a doctor's
degree; now I have an ass that appears to be very
intelligent, and I should like to elevate him above
the degraded and unhappy state of his long-eared
brethren'; tell me on' what conditions you will
undertake to make him a doctor.
After a few  moments of reflection the quack
replied, that he would only demand to be clothed
and fed, and to have an allowance of a piece of gold
every day, for extraordinary expenses; and that if
in ten years the ass should not answer the king's
expectations, he would consent to suffer death as a
vile impostor. "Very well," said the king, "I will
reflect on the subject, and let you know when you
may begin the education."
The quack, overjoyed at the bargain he had made,
communicated it to one of his acquaintance, who
asked him if he did not fear to be hanged at the
expiration of the time. "' Not at all," replied he,
"for if neither the king nor I should die before the
expiration of the ten years, I will take care that the
ass shall3."

The king, being informed of this, sent for the
man, and said to him, "Well, sir, my ass is ready
to become your pupil, but two conditions must be
added; the first is, that in case of my death you
shall complete your engagement with my successor;
and the second, that, as the ass is young, and in
sound health', if anything should happen to him under
your tuition, you shall be imprisoned till you restore
the money you may have received, and you shall also
be exposed every day during an hour in the public
market, with a pair of ass's ears on your head."
As the quack refused to accept these terms, he
was placed on the donkey, with his face to the
tail, and thus conducted through the city, preceded by a man bearing a placard in large letters:

francs in the hands of the mother of the family,
and suddenly disappeared.
But how had these ten francs been obtained?
By what means had this child been able so
unexpectedly to serve this unhappy family? We
shall see.
Her golden tresses, falling in ringlets over her
shoulders, had excited the admiration of the
neighbours. One of these, a hair-dresser, had
frequently said, when she was passing his house',
I would willingly give a louis for that beautiful
head of hair'. When this occasion of doing good
presented itself, this kind-hearted little creature,
without the means of obtaining money, remembered
the man's words, sought his house, and said: You
have offered to buy my hair for a louis; now I will
sell it to you, cut it all off quickly. Make haste,
for I am in a great hurry3. The man, struck with
the singularity of the circumstance, asked the
particulars, and being of a kind humane disposition, he feigned to accept the proposed conditions,
gave her fifteen francs, and added, that as she was
then in a hurry, she might come again to have her
hair cut off..After having succoured the family, the girl went

joyously home, and related the whole of the adven
ture' to her anxious blut happy mother, who recom.
pensed her by kisses of affection and tears of joy.
The end of this youthful drama may be now
guessed. The poor family recovered their daughter, and, with her, health, comfort, and joy returned
to their humble dwelling.
The Miraculous Transformation.
Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, paid great
attention to the discipline of his army, and punished
with severity the smallest faults. If, during a review, a dragoon was unfortunate enough to fall
from his horse, it was sufficient to subject him to a
severe flogging; a hat or a cap falling off was
nearly as dangerous.
In order to convince himself of the general conduct of the soldiers, Frederick would often disguise
himself as' a private, and mix in their society. On
onle of these occasions he happened to meet with' a
soldier, of the royal guard, who was tipsy;' he inl.

him, saying, How is it, comrade, that out of' your
trifling pay you can find the means to get tipsy?'
I receive the same as you do, and can never put
anything by3 to enjoy myself. I wish you would
tell me how you manage.4 The soldier, after eyeing him for a moment, said, You look like a jolly
fellow;5 come, give us your hand, and I will tell
you how I manoeuvre: to-day, for instance, meeting
ill old comrade, I wished to treat him; it was no
uses putting my hand in my pocket; and it would
have been equally vain asking credit at the wineshop; so I had recourse to an expedient, I pawned
some of my accoutrements, and among them  the
blade of my sabre.
But, said Frederick, how will you obtain money
to redeem  it?-Oh! replied the soldier, we shall
not be. called out to exercise' before next week,
and by a little abstinence during the interval I shall
be able to recover my things. -I thank you for the
hint, said Frederick, and I will not fail to profit by
it'; so, good night, comrade.

The next morning the troops of the guard were
anexpectcdly called out to be reviewed', and the
King, in passing attentively along the ranks, discovered his comrade of the day before. The inspection finished, Frederick placed himself in front of
the line, and immediately ordered the soldier, and
the one next him, to leave the ranks and approach
him. They did so, and the King with an angry
voice, said to his last night's companion: "Draw
your sabre, and cut off the head of that scoundrel."
The soldier begged his majesty to have mercy on2
his comrade, saying he was a brave man, and incapable of doing anything to merit such a punishment. Frederick however remained inflexible, and
the soldier, fearing to -draw chastisement on himself,' said to the King: Since your majesty is inexorable, I must obey; but I earnestly supplicate
Providence to interpose in behalf of my unfortunate
comrade, and cause my sword to fall harmless on
his neck.
Then drawing the sabre, he suddenly exclaimed,
" O miracle! behold! Providence has changed the
blade of my sword into wood!"
It is scarcely necessary to add that, being called
to muster, and unable to redeem his blade, the

present, recommending him, at the same time, not
to- expose himself again to the same danger, as

The Turbulent Youth Corrected.
Henry V. of England was very wild and ungovernable in his youth; but he once received a severe
and salutary lesson from a judge named Gascoigne.
— While Henry was Prince of Wales', one of his
favourite servants, having committed a crime, was
apprehended by the police, sent to prison, and
brought before the court, to be tried for the offence.
The evidence was clear against him, and he was
convicted, notwithstanding the interest that had
been employed in his favour.
The prince, on hearing the judgment, rushed into
the court, and commanded the judge to set the man
at liberty2, but Gascoigne told him mildly that it
was impossible, and advised him, instead of encouraging a violation of the laws, and resistance to
their execution, to give his father's subjects an

example of obedience. Henry, whose irritable
temper could  not bear this  reproach, rushed
towards the judge, drawing his sword, as if he
intended to do him a personal violence; but Gas.
coigne, rising with dignity, said to him: "Sir,
remember that in this place I represent the king,
whom' it is your duty to obey, both' as youi
sovereign and as your father; and now, for your
contempt of the royal authority I commit you to
prison', there to remain until the pleasure of his
majesty be known.
The prince, convinced of his error, and daunted.
by the imposing firmness of the judge, suffered himself4 to be conducted to jail. When his father,
Henry IV., heard of the transaction, he exclaimed;
Happy the monarch who possesses a judge so resolute in the discharge of his duty, and a son willing
to submit to the authority of the law!

Impartial Judgment.
In the pleasant fields of Battersea, on the banks
of the Thames, near London, there' dwelt about
three hundred years ago, a blind widow named
Annice Collie, and her orphan grand-child Dorothy.
They had seen better days, for the father of little
Dorothy had been gardener to' the good queen
Catharine, the first wife to Henry VIII. But when
Henry divorced the kind Catharine, to marry Ann
Boleyn, the servants of the former were all discharged. This was a heavy blow' to the family4;
but more severe misfortunes awaited them.  The
brother of Dorothy, a very industrious youth, was
killed by the falling of an old wall, and his death so
afflicted' the father and mother that they did not
long survive him.
The poor little Dorothy, yet a child, was thus

and without any means of support'. Not knowing
what to do, she procured some flowers, and a little
fruit, and went daily through the streets of London
to obtain a few pence; but she did not go alone, as
she was accompanied by a beautiful dog named
Constant, which had been given to her, when quite'
a puppy, by the good queen Catharine, and which
she loved dearly. During some time this affectionate
little girl gained enough to buy victuals and drink'
for her grandmotheer and herself, but at length the
winter came on4; the old lady fell sick, and they
were reduced to the greatest distress.
Dorothy could have borne her own miseries; but
when she saw the sufferings of old Annice she could
no longer support it, and looking at her with tears
in her eyes, she exclaimed, "Dearest grandmother,
it shall be done! I will sell my dear Constant; I
was offered a golden angel for him some time ago
by a servant of the Duchess of Suffolk." —" And can

away with the dog, but the poor girl, cold, hungry,
and fatigued as she was, followed him, though her
limbs could hardly support her.
On arriving at the house, she begged the servant
to let her see his mistress, that she might convince
her that the dog was hers; but the man told her
to be gone', and shutting the door in her face, left
her in despair. Dorothy, weeping, then seated herself on a stone, determined to wait till she could
see some of the family, and at length she heard the
sound of a carriage. The gates were opened and
the servants came running, and crying out, Room I

Encouraged by these kind words, Dorothy ap.

alms; I came to claim my little dog, which one of
your servants has taken from me."
"Hlow! you saucy vagrant," said the proud
Lady More, who had come out to receive her
husband, "do you dare claim my dog before my
face?"  Dorothy had not courage enough to
answer Lady More; but she said to Sir Thomas,
" Indeed, my lorld, it is my dog, and he was stolen
from me about three months ago."-" Do you hear
that, my lady?" said Sir Thomas; " you know that
you have had the animal about that time."-" Yes,"
replied her ladyship', "but you know he was
given to me by Mr. Rich, one of the king's counsellors, who bought him of a man at his own door."
-" And who knows," said Sir Thomas, " where that
man had obtained him?" — " But," said Lady More,
"she has no witness to prove the dog ever belonged
to her, and so she cannot establish her right."
"' Well," said Sir Thomas, "as I am Lord Chancellor, and first judge of the realm, it is my duty to
see justice done: I will endeavour to decide the
cause, and I think we can call a witness whose
testimony will be decisive."-On saying this, he

told a servant to bring the log. The dog being
brought, Sir Thomas took him on his lap, saying,
" Now, my lady, you say this dog is yours, and you
call him Sultan; this little girl says he is hers, and
that his name is Constant; therefore I command
you to place yourselves, one at each end of the
room, and call him." —They did so, and Lady More
began by saying, " Sultan! Sultan! come to your
mistress, my pretty Sultan!" —The dog, however,
took no other notice than slightly wagging his tail.
-Dorothy then said, "Constant! Constant!" and
he immediately bounded from Sir Thomas', leaped
on his little mistress, and expressed the most passionate fondness.
"The case is very clear," said the Chancellor,
"the dog has acknowledged his mistress; he is
worthy of his name, and I adjudge him to her."
Upon hearing this, Lady More said, "Hark ye', my
girl! if you will sell me your dog, I will give you

" I cannot part with my dear Constant."-" But,"
said the lady, " I will give you a golden angel for

-Dorothy, bursting into tears, sobbed out', "Ye-es,

"Dear child!" said Sir Thomas, " thou hast made
a noble and virtuous sacrifice to thy duty, and I will
find thee a better employment than begging to support thy parent. What say you? will you come
and live with my daughter as her maid?"-" O!
most gladly, most joyfully, my lord, if I can do it
without being separated from my grandmother?"
— " God forbid2 I should separate you," said Sir
Thomas, wiping away8 a tear from his cheek; "my
house is large enough for you both, and the old
lady shall pass the rest of her days in comfort'."
Sir Thomas kept his word, the little family was
restored to happiness, and the dutiful and affectionate Dorothy had the pleasing reflection' that by
her virtuous conduct she had saved her beloved
parent from a miserable end, and procured her the
ease and comfort necessary to old age.

APPENDIX TO TIlE DICTIONARY.
As stated page 175, headed "Abreviations du Dictionnaire:'
The prepositions printed in Roman after the verbs or adjectives, are to be used before the next infinitive; those printed
in Italic govern the indirect regimen of the verb or the comple.
ment of the adjective.
Some verbs and adjectives govern sometimes one preposition,
sometimes another, according to the meaning.-As limited space
commands brevity, also, as confusion might result from profuseness of details, it has been left to the Teacher to direct the
student in the use of either of the prepositions when two are
introduced, or to supply the lack in exceptional cases.
However, much difficulty would be removed by consulting
the following directions:
" The English preposition to, used before a verb in the sense
of in order to, must be translated pour.
"All adjectives following the verb to be, used impersonally,
require de before the next infinitive; as: It is noble to die for
one's country. II est noble de mourir pour sa patrie.
" Adjectives used after assez, trop, trop peu (enough, too, too
little), require pour before the next infinitive; as: she is too
kind to refuse you.  Elle est trop bonne pour vous refuser.
"Adjectives requiring d before their complement, generally
express an idea of inclination, readiness, opposition, habit, fitness.
"Adjectives requiring de generally refer to content or discontent, abundance, scarcity, happiness or misfortune, pride, shame,
certainty. They are often followed in English by: with, of,
from, by.
" Those requiring envers, express behaviour, kind or unkind
feelings towards others."
