COMPOSITION.

Write an Essay on the doctrine of "Imputation," taking
as your text Rom. iv.

Je fus d'abord garçon chez un vétérinaire ;
On me donnait par mois dix-huit livres dix sous.
Mais il me déplaisait de me mettre à genoux
Ponr graisser le sabot d'une bête malade,
Dont je fus mainte fois payé d'une ruade.
Fatigué du métier, je rompis mon licou,
Et confiant en Dieu, j'allai sans savoir où.
Je m'arrêtai d'abord chez un marchand d'estampes,
Qui, pour certains romans, faisait des culs-de-lampes.
J'en fis durant deux ans. Dans de méchants écrits
Je glissais à tâtons de plus méchants croquis.

7. I should wish that you were polished, before you go to B., where, as you will be in a great deal of good company, I would have you have the right manners for it. It is a very considerable article to have le ton de la bonne compagnie, in your destination particularly. The principal business of a foreign minister is to get into the secrets of the court at which he resides. This he can never bring about, but by such engaging manners and such an insinuating behaviour, as make him sought for, and in some measure at home in the best company and the best families of the place. He will then be well informed of all that passes, either by the confidences made him, or by the carelessness of people in his company, who are accustomed to look upon him as one of them, and consequently are not on their guard before him.-Lord Chesterfield's Letters to his Son.

German Language.

MR. MAHAFFY AND PROFESSOR SELSS.

1. Translate into English:

Berufe nicht die wohlbekannte Schaar,
Die strömend sich im Dunstkreis überbreitet,
Dem Menschen tausendfältige Gefahr,
Von allen Enden her, bereitet.

Von Norden dringt der scharfe Geisterzahn
Auf dich herbei. mit pfeilgespitzten Zungen;
Von Morgen ziehn vertrocknend sie heran,
Und nähren sich von deinen Lungen.

Wenn, sie der Mittag aus der Wüste schickt,
Die Gluth auf Gluth um deinen Scheitel häufen,

So bringt der West den Schwarm, der erst erquickt,

Um dich und Feld und Aue zu ersäufen.

Sie hören gern, zum Schaden froh gewandt,
Gehorchen gern, weil sie uns gern betrügen.
Sie stellen wie vom Himmel sich gesandt,
Und lispeln englisch, wenn sie lügen.

8. It may be a little extraordinary that, notwithstanding his cruelty, his extortion, his violence, his arbitrary administration, Henry VIII. not only acquired the regard of his subjects, but never was the object of their hatred. He seems even in some degree to have possessed their love and affection. His exterior qualities were advantageous, and fit to captivate the multitude. His magnificence and personal bravery rendered him illustrious to vulgar eyes; and it may be said with truth that the English in that age were so thoroughly subdued, that like eastern slaves they were inclined to admire even those acts of violence and tyranny which were exercised over themselves and at their own expense.-HUME.
