The youngor ofthe two is the more untractable. Theyoungerof my two brothors is in (îalifbrnia. The nioro diligent of

the two luis had the promiscd reward.

KXKUCISE li)tl(.—Tho more T know tliat nian, the more I

pity hiin. The more wo know lus tricks, the more we dread

thcin. The more hc is oncouragcd, the botter hc worka. Themore v,c cravu after fortune, the fhrthor away she keeps

froni us ; the more wo avoid lier, the closer she ruîis after

\\H. Ilis conduet appearf. to be the more odious, as it is morerainutcly investigated. I like him the more, as I know himbetter.

EXEKCiSE 20th.—Tho most honcst citizen in Québec. Thebest head in the council. Tho best orator in the house. Thebest actor in tho band. The most liirious in the gang. Themost intrcpid soldier in tho army. The most élever man in

the world. The most obliging fellow in the neighbourhood.

EXEiiciSE 21 st.—That is assurodly the strangost thing in

the world. He is so very much dosorving of vénération. Heis very much attachcd to your person. Ile is so very muchabove préjudice. Theirs is such an irréprochable behavior.

He évinces such a strong love for truth. The dcvil bas it so

very nmch at heart to lose the human race.

EXEiiciSE 22nd.—Abeautiful manor and promises. A large

meadow and tillago lands. A vast shop and machineries.

The niastor, with hls fantastieal notions. Who lias toldyou?She, he, I.

EXERCISE 25th.—This orchard is mine, but that one is

yours? Ho is an acquaintance of'mine. The umbrella is his,

but tho hat is yours. Miss, are thesie <^lovcs and this parasol

yours. Afterwards, I shall look for mine. There is a school

fellow of mine. Thèse gentlemen are friends of ours. Theywill be of yours also. That land is mine.

EXERCISE 26th.—How, villain, wliat mcanest tliou? IIow

canst thou exculpate thyself from that atrocious crime ? Art

thou not the first mover of that abominable treason ? Hast

thou not supplied the assassin with arms ? Hast thou not har-

boured him in thy own house? Vah ! thou doest well deserve

to share his fate ! And that is far beneath what is duc to

thy horrid misdoings !

EXERCISE 27th.—Well ! hâve you had a good dny ? Whathâve you done with your time ? What a good time we had of

it ! After ail, what cornes of it ? AVhat matters it ? What of

it? Well and good, but what is the end? What a fine resuit !

EXERCISE 28th.—The most splendid édifice that can be

seen. This book is the same that I had last year. AU that

shines is not gold. The chariot and the man that led it. It

is the same meaning that I find in it. You want to spare the

goat and the cabbage, that you know to be impossible.

Who, that sees him, can believe in his modesty ? Who, that

hears you, would again trust your word ?

gay, yen; you «ay, no ; which of us two says right? Mon arc

wcak, which comcH from thcir dcgradcd nature. Which waynhall I takc to go to Québec ? Which of thc two \h shorter

and at the same tinie safer? Which do you prefer in thc

Humnier seaHon ? Which is less tedious ?

EXERCISE 30th.—My neighbour lends nie what grain and

ibdder he has, which saves me fron» ruin. No ressource is

lei't me, than what despair or shanie aflfords. What crédit I

hâve, 1 entirely place at your disposai. No other means of

protection, but what is suggested by the imminent danger of

death. No other hope but what can élude thc vigilance of

niy suspicious guards.

EXERCISE 31st.—Thc master whose well known expé-

rience, inspires the public with confitience. Thc house, he

speaks of, is in vogue. The person, whose virtues your fa-

ther was praising, is dead. She, whose beuuty is her only

riches, shall early fall into indigence. The goods of which

we havc already recoived an invoice, are new in taste. Ilis

writings, part of which I hâve read, are in a vcry beautiful

style.

EXEiuiSE 82nd.—Whose book is this? Whose that hat?To whom shall l remit this letter? Whose isthis inkstand?

Whose tliose scissors ? Whose this nice flûte ? I want to

know whose knife this is. Tell me whose copy book that is.

Can you not guess, whose is this flat, but very nice little

nilk-purse ? No ; I don't know whose it may be.

EXERCISE 33rd.—My neighbor has lent me his oxen, his

horses, his plough, nay his own servant. I lend him moneyand seed. The brother and sister, being juridically convicted,

were both condemned, he for perpetrating the murder, she for

her conniving. That Jew is ready to lend his gold, his jewels,

nay his very Bible, if to his profit. 1 distrust his flattery and

complaisance. He tries to make his way, to the expense of

others.

EXERCISE 34th.—Good day, brother, sister, children. Howare you friend ? To go with bad company is not to respect

one'self. To love God is to love one'self ; but to hâte him, is

to hâte one'self truly. To praise one's own merits, is to des-

pise one^self. As for him, he makes his own good will. Asfar as it may dépend on me, I promise you my entirc coo-

pération. As for my bill, I will pay it.

EXERCISE ooth.—Thèse men are at your service, but thosc

are at mine. This person is sick ; that one is wcll. He whotrains us to virtue, deserves our love. This year 1 am tra-

velling for thc good of my health. On that year, I made an

enormous loss. If you take this, I will take that. He maypromise you this and that, but he will do neither. He whohas nothing, cannot give any thing. They who do not love

the poor, do not love God.

EXERCISE 36th.—Thèse are the gentlemen who pass enco-

miams upon you. It is he, who is the cause of my mlsfor-

tune. It is he who will tell you of it. As it is you who hâve

deceived him, it shall be you, who undeceive him. What1 believe most probable is that she is ignorant of what she

says. What I do know, is that I wont tell a lie. What I

advise you to do is to speak openly.

EXERCISE 37th.—If any of my friends speaks so, I amwilling to bear the conséquence. None of us could admit of

such conditions. None among them affirms the same thing.

Any one who is bold enough to attempt it, may expose his

life. Few men are rcady to acknowledge such weaknesses.

Few persons will say guilty, to thoir faults. A fbw persons

were présent.

EXERCISE o8th.—Every profession has its thorns and its

comfort. None knows how to command, before obeying. Bothwent away discontented. The majority of the members refuse

him their votes. Ail the children stand up, but ail do not ans-

wer. Every one has what belongs to him, but every one is

not satisfied. Let every one meddle with his own business.

No one is bound to do impossibilities. He calls upon every

oiic to help him, but not any one cornes. Every one agrées

as to that truth.

EXERCISE 39th.—Every thing goes wrong in that pièce,

style, tone, décoration, music, performance and ail. I hâve

been walking ail day, without being tired. He has kept mebusy a whole hour. Upon the whole, I would ask nothing

more than my own. How much do you prise the whole ? AUis just and honest in the eyes of unscrupled men, but every

thing becomes doubtful, when v/eighed in the balance of the

most High. He is one to defy any péril, as well as any menace.

EXERCISE 40th.—A bookseller soïïs books, a grocer pro-

visions and a confectionner swect things. (live me bread, but-

ter and préserves. Havo you got a watch ? Yes ; I hâve one.

Has he got applcs? Yes; he has, since he sells some. Youhavc (arge orcliards ; they are set with fine trees. Theyare no doubt abounding with fruit. Has my uncle got

horses ? Yes ; he lends us some for riding. Has he got hun-

ting-dogs ? Some. I also.

EXERCISE 41st.—The two diamond rings were on this

pièce of furniture. One has disappeared. Eitherof you both

has the niissing one. Could you not hâve dropped one, as

you were to lay them down ? One of you two is re()[uested

to attend therc this evening. Thenonc of us shall go. Let the

guilty one denouiice himself, or I am to punish both.

EXERCISE 42nd.—In that small town, at every fifteen pa-

ccs, you sec either a store or a tavern. He plants his trees

at every twelve foet. I go to my brother's, every other

day, to my sister's every other week, and to my uncle's every

other month. In France, you are to get your pass-port

rcnewod every three montlis. At every fourtli month, I ampaid by my patron. Every fifty years, we hâve a jubilee.

The plant Aloes , they say , jblossoms onl^- at every

century. In the TJnited-States, they elect a président, every

four years. As to magistrates, some are elccted every year,

others every second year. ScQ. ; according to the respective

laws of each pvivate state ; but never for life.

EXERCISE 43rd.—Had you a great many persons at the

meeting ? Few. Has he •ollected large sums ? No. Thatchild makes very little progress ; this makes a little. Is myprotégée progressing ? a little. Some people hâve blamed

him, but few are disposed to help him in his enterprise. Forso small a profit, to assume such a heavy responsibility !

very few care for a doubtful project, but many will boast of

having contributed to its success.Many men manage to becomerich, but few to do good. What little help you give me !

EXERCISE 44th.—Many a candidate dépends upon getting

this post, but a greater number covet my brother's. Manya death afflicted that family with mourning. Many moreare to corne. I hâve pews for rent, but I will soon,

hâve many more. Many a self styled friend slipped off, at

the moment of ruin. Many a protestation of service waslavished upon him. Many an innocent head were comprised

in the gênerai proscription,

EXERCISE 45th.—Hâve you no détail of that unhappy en-

counter ? No news-paper speaks of it. No one among myacquaintances knows it. Hence, I can form no probable

conjecture. Still, it is no small affair. The press making no

mention of it, we can publish no officiai report. But the pu-

blic is aware that we miss no opportunity to enlighten them.

Hâve you got melons ? No. Will you hâve apples ? No.Thank you.

EXERCISE 46th.—A flock of sheep, with lambs, white ones

and black ones. That knife is not the one I want. One co-

rnes only to salute one's acquaintances, on the way. She is

not the one easily to bend under the marital authority. Heis not the one to give away his own property. I am not the

one to listen to my children's fancies. Ho ! as to him, he is

a pure one ! let us make him a pedestal ! My she-goat has

a youngone, and my doe-rabbit has three. The Wicked Onehas many a ruse to deceive mankind. The Eternal One alone

is great. They suspect one P. Any one who is for me, let

him follow me. Each one advertises his friend. Some bodyis to come and see me.

foremost are men, the others children. Ail other matters

were laid aside, for the despatch of the most urging ones.

Some other gentlemen took share in the discussion. Those

two children are continually teazing one another. Let some-

body else try it, for I give it up. Every body else can say

as mucH. Each other foUowed the contagions example. Ail

the others arrive before you.

EXERCISE 48th.—You deal very roughly with men of

such high réputation. Those who approve of my conduct,

dare hardly to acknowledge it ; whereas such as criticise

me, do so publicly. Why do you vex a persori of such agood

temper ! Such an active and faithful servant should be kindly

treated. He tells such strange stories that no body can be-

lieve them.

EXERCISE 49th.—You say you do not like that book and you

are always speaking of it. That person does not please youand you praise him on every occasion. Ha ! now, I hâve it

;

I hâve guessed. Are you up stairs ? Yes ; I am. They say

so ; but how can we believe sayings ? What a beau-

tiful Valley ! I admire its cultivations, its plantations, its

riches and variety. What a solemn festivity ! do you parti-

cipate in it ? What a pity to be deprived of it ! Corne ; weshall go together.

EXERCISE 50th.

—

I am the first in my section. Who is

the second ? I am. This little boy is diligent, but you are

not so. He wants me to believe so, but I cannot hope for it.

Such is the report spread by famé with its hundred voices.

What do you think of it ? Believe it who may ; as lor me,I do not. You look sick ; are you really so ? Yes ; I am so.

Madam, are you the person come to consult with me ? Yes ;

I am. Are you suflFering? 1 am so.

EXERCISE 51st.—One should not believe flatterers. Asone is afraid of snakes, so should he be of liars. It is said

that the front guard of the enemies is oflf the heights. Fires

and patrols are secn thcre already. But when dreading dan-

ger, what does net one fancy. He could net quiet his niind,

before having seen with his own eyes the threatning object.

And even then he does not refer to himself. For, one could

not always govern his imagination. Notwithstanding their

apparent roughness, honest people are beloved and respected.

Talent is admired, even when possessed by the wicked.

EXERCISE 52nd.—The fire-men behave so well, that they

hâve been oft'ered a magnifieent reward. Listen : somebodyis knoking at the door. Whereas I spoke the languagc of

the country, I was proposed an honorable situation. In this

place, they dancc, sing, to get drunk, and call that " great

enjoyment.'' Still there can be no pleasure in losing one's

own reason, making one self sick or quarrelling with one's

own friends. That is one of the numerous errors of the world.

People stun out their own brains and then mistake the true

meaning of pleasure. They are longing after liappiness;

they are incessantly seeking after it, and so far they are

right. But they prétend to find it, where not to be found.

EXERCISE 53rd.—Every one congratulâtes you upon your

Success. Ail that you say is not gospel truth. For my part,

I would wish to see ail men happy. Any opinion diffé-

rent from yours should be the prcof of bad feeling. Anybody else but her, would not reinain. Any body else but

him should be afraid of such a solitary abode. That person

is so obliging that she is welcome by every body.

EXERCISE 54th.—However learned you may be, beware of

swelling pride. Whatever your chance may be, take care of

yourself. Whoever has been so weak as to commit a fault,

should be candid enough to acknowledge it. It is natural for

man to err, but only for the devil to persévère into error. Noone whatever has touched your books ; nor would dare to

take such liberties. Whoever tells a lie to his neighbour, tells

one to God and to himself. No body, for what cause soever

it may be, has a right to lie, not even to save his own life.

Howsoever it may take place, whatsoever may be its object,

lie telling goes str Jght to God.

EXERCISE 55th.—My brother and cousin are there. Nei-

ther one nor the other want to stay for this evening. Eithcr

he, or I, will go to market to-morrow. I assure you that

one of us two will be tliere. My brother, sister and I were

cvery day walking in the garden. The river and pond were

both frozen. The sparrow,the swallow,the robin, the red-breast

and many other birds live in our grèves. Alas ! how happy

were they ! What is become of my sister? of my brother?

EXERCISE 56th.—Neither my friend nor his brother went.

My neighbor, you and I will do our best efforts. My brother

and he are in parternership for the silk-tradc. My father und

sister are to comc this evening. They will be ablc to stay

only one moment. The master and his pupils followed us.

Oircus, théâtre and music are very fashionable in the Uni-

ted-States.

EXERCISE 57th.—That nation looks so moral and happy î

government, Charles 1. had his head eut oiF. During the

french révolution in 1793, Louis XVI had his guillotined.

You would hâve it inferrod hence, that ho is right. It dis-

pleases me to hâve nonsensical stories told me of my friends.

That child is one day to get a good estate. I possess somolittle fortune, but I hâve got it by dint of misery. I wonthâve it hence concluded that I agrée to it. He wants to havoa coat made, and that against two days. As to me, I prétend

to hâve mine before that time. For, I spoke tirst.

EXERCISE 61st.—If he behaves thus, he is to be soon rui-

ned. You are, they say, to bo in town, to morrow. I am to

start this afternoon. I feel assured that you tell a falschood.

He has stood satif*fied that you tell the truth. You maydépend upon my approbation. I am still to justify my-self from that foui accusation. I am to retort his bitter in-

vectives. Those parcels are to be rcady for the time the

stage leaves. It is to leave this evening. I am also to be

away.

EXERCISE 62nd.

I will act up to your wishes. You shall

him to speak indiscreetly. We believe him to be compétent.

Do you require him to do it against his own inclination ? I

do fancy him to be so conceited. Hence I conclude him to

be honest. Does he acknowledge himself to be wrong ? Hewill demonstrate his own proposition to be true. Does he

deny himself to havc uttered thèse words ? Do you wish meto give him warning ? He does not understand his cause to

be hopeless. I would hâve him come in person.

J would hâve been absent from my duty. Abstain from such

You alicnate from you thc public mind. They argue from a

disputed point. I shall be banished from my country. YouwiU cleanse your sonl from that stain. You will not conceal

From what is this word deriyed ? Docs he dcrogate from
