-La Fontaine.

The aborigines of Australia had hardly any religious ideas. They believed that those who die go into another country, where they are changed into white men and afterwards return to the place of their birth. This doctrine was so deeply engraved in their imagination that whenever they noticed a resemblance between a white man and one of their lost friends, they were sure that he had come back. They attributed this transformation to an evil spirit, who, they said, was also the cause of thunder, floods, and diseases. But they seem to have known nothing else about this being, except that he had a human shape and liked to torment and frighten the blacks. They had no idea of a beneficent divinity.

(a) When Charles Lamb was released from his daily hard work at the India Office, he felt himself the happiest of men. "I would not go back to my prison," he said to a friend, "ten years longer for ten thousand pounds." He also wrote in the same happy mood to another friend. "I have scarce steadiness of head to compose a letter," he said. "I am free, free as air! I will live another fifty years. Would I could sell you some of my leisure. Positively the best thing a man can do is-nothing! and next to that perhaps good works." Two long and tedious years passed, and Lamb's feelings had entirely changed. He had now discovered that his most difficult work-" the common task," had been good for him, though he knew not of it. Time had formerly been his friend, now it had become his enemy.

Die rothen Streifen im Osten verkünden des Lebens und des Lichtes Wiedergeburt, wenn sie nicht, wie des Menschen Hoffnung, nur ein falscher Glanz, der Schein eines brennenden Dorfes sind.

Christian sah, wie es im Osten leuchtete ; der Morgen wollte anbrechen, aber wie hell auch der Horizont war, die Sonne stieg doch nicht empor. (b) Der Lenz hatte erst vor wenigen Wochen Einzug in den Schwarzwald gehalten, der Mai erst vor Kurzem sein Ende erreicht, und doch war es schwül wie mitten im Sommer, und Wolken zogen sich dicht und dichter zusammen. Die Sonne stand nicht mehr hoch, aber das Thal war so eng, dasz sie schon verschwunden war, bevor sie den prächtigen Einzug in die Pforten der Nacht gehalten.

(c)__ Marie hatte nicht die neue Kraft des neuen Tages, denn sie hatte ja fast gar nicht geschlafen und während eines Tages so gut wie nichts genossen.
