7, How many Arabic letters are there in the Persian alphabet? Name 7 them. What particular letters do not occur in Arabic and are purely Persian ? A wolf clothing himself in the skin of a sheep, and getting in among the flock, by this means took the opportunity to devour many of them. At last the shepherd discovered him, and cunningly fastening a rope about his neck, tied him up to a tree which stood hard by. Some other shepherds happening to pass that way and observing what he was about, drew near and expressed their amazement at it. 'What,' says one of them, brother, do you make hanging of sheep ?' 'No,' replied the other, but I make hanging of a wolf whenever I catch him, though in the habit and garb of a sheep." Then he showed them their mistake, and they applauded the justice of the execution. 25 FRIDAY, 8TH November. [2 р.м. то 5 Р.М.] FRENCH. 1.

Translate into English : Je ne crois pas qu'il y sit rien au monde de plus riant que les idées qui s'eveillent daus le coeus d'une mère à la vue du petit soulier de son enfant: surtout si c'est le soulier de fête, des dimanches, du baptême; le soulier brodé jusque sous la semelle; un soulier avec lequel l'enfant n'a pas encore fait uu pas. Ce soulier-là a tant de grâce et de petitesse, il lui est si impossible de marcher, que c'est pour la mère comme si elle voyait son enfant Elle lui sourit, elle lui baise, elle lui parle; elle se demande s'il se peut, en effet, qu'un pied soit si petit ; et, l'enfant fût-il absent, il suffit du joli souier pour lui remettre sous les yeux la douce et fragile créature. Elle croilt le voir elle le voit, tout entier, vivant, joyeux, avec ses mains délicates, sa tête ronde, ses lèvres pures, ses yeux sereins dont le blanc est blen. Si c'est I'hiver, il est là, rampe sur le tapis, il escalade laborieusement un tabouret, et la mère tremble qu'il ne s'approche du feu. Si c'est l'été, il se traîne dans la cour, dans le jardin, arrache l'herbe d'entre les pavés, regarde naivement les grands chiens, les grands chevaux, sans peur, joue avec les coquillages, les fleurs, et fait gronder le jardinier, qui trouve le sable dans les plates-bandes et la terre dans les allées. Tout rit, tout brille, tout joue autour de lui comme lui, jusqu'au souffle d'air et au rayon de soleil qui. s'ébattent à l'enxi dans les boucles follettes de ses cheveux. Le soulier moutre tont cela à mère, et lui fait fondre le coeur, comme le feu une cire. 9. Translate into French : The captain gave an account of all that had happened to him and the ship, and to the great delight of Alice, who was with her father, he told them of the good fortune that had attended Whittington's venture. Mr. Fitz warren immediately sent for Dick to hear of his good fortune, and told him that it was a just reward granted by heaven for his patience under hard trials, and for his good conduct and industry. When the boxes and bales containing the treasures sent by the African King and Queen to the owner of the cat were displayed before the astonished youth, he burst into tears, and implored his master to take all, if he would but continue to be his friend. But the merchant would touch none of it, declaring it to belong to Whittington, and to him alone. Before the captain took his leave, he said to Dick playfully, "I have another present for you from the African Queen," and calling to a sailor below, ordered him to bring up the wicker basket, out of which leaped Mrs. Puss, to the great joy of her former master; and right happy was she to see him again, purring round him, and rubbing her head against his face when he took her up in his arms. For the rest of her days she continued to live with her grateful master. 20 25 FRIDAY, 8TH NOVEMBER. PORTUGUESE. 25 35 1. Translate into English : : Os gregos, polidos a pouco e pouco, se julgaram em estado de se poderem governar por si mesmos e a maior parte das cidades se formaram em républicas; para não ¡umultuarem tiveram sempre a fortuna de terem sabios legisladores que as souberam conter nos seus limites. Leis escriptas n'un estilo simples e em peqneo numero serviam de freio aos povos e os endireitavam para o bem comm in A idea de liberdade que inspirava um tal procedimento era formosa; porque os gregos a representavam sujeita á Lei, isto é, á razão, que todo o povo reconhecia. Tinham medo de que os homens não abusassem. Os magistrados, que eram tratados com summo respeito em quanto durava o tempo do seu ministerio, entravam na classe de qualquer particular logo que expirava o sen governo e ficavam sem mais distincção do que a boa fama do seu merecimento. A Lei era senhora; a Lei repartia os cargos, regulava a jurisdicção, e era severa em castigar sem do' todo aquel le que tinha desempenhado mal o seu officio. Não direi se todas estas ideas eram mais especiosas do que solidas; o que é certo é que vogavam pela Grecia, que se tinham apoderado dos corações até preferirem os descontos, que traz ccmsigo a liberdade, aos defeitos inseparaveis de uma subordinação legitima, ainda que sejam muito menores. 2. Translate into Portuguese : When the tidings reached Lisbon of this wonderful bark, anchored in the Tagus, freighted with the people and productions of a newly-discovered world, the effect may be more easily conceived than described. Lisbon, for nearly a century, had derived its chief glory from its maritime discoveries; but here was an achievement that eclipsed them all. Curiosity could scarcely have been more excited had the vessel come freighted with the wonders of another planet. For several days the Tagus presented a gay and moving picture, covered with barges and boats of every kind. From morning till night the vessel was thronged with visitors, among whom were cavaliers of high distinction, and various officers of the crown. All hung with rapt attention upon the accounts given by Columbus and his crew of the events of their voyage, and of the New World they had discovered, and gazed with insatiable curiosity upon the specimens of unknown plants and animals, but above all, upon the Indians, so different from any race of men hitherto known. Some were filled with generous enthusiasm at the idea of a discovery so sublime and beneficial to ma kind; while others repined at the incredulity of the king and his councillors, by which so immense an acquisition had been for ever lost to Portugal. 3.
