VII.-Enoncez les règles des participes-présent et passé. THE SWAN. In every society, whether of animals or of men, violence characterizes tyrants, mild authority, kings. The lion and the tiger on the earth, the eagle and the vulture in the air, only reign by war, only rule by the abuse of strength, and by cruelty; whereas the swan reigns over the waters by every title which founds an empire of peace: greatness, majesty, gentleness, together with strength, power, courage, and the will not to abuse them, and to use them only for the purpose of defence. He knows how to fight and conquer, without ever attacking; a peaceful king over the aquatic birds, he braves the tyrants of the air; he awaits the eagle, without provoking and without fearing him he repels his assaults, by opposing to his weapons the resistance of his plumage end the reiterated blows of a vigorous wing, which serves him as an ægis; and often victory crowns his efforts.-BUFFON.

Uebersetzen Sie ins Deutsche : THE HUNGRY ARAB. An Arab had lost his way in the desert. For two days he found nothing to eat, and was in danger of dying of hunger. At length he fell in with one of those water-pits, at which travellers are wont to water their camels, and saw a small leather bag lying upon the sand. "God be praised," said he, taking it up and feeling it, "these are, I think, dates or nuts; how I will feast on them!" With this delightful hope he opened the bag, beheld what it contained, and exclaimed, full of sorrow" Alas! they are only pearls !"-LIEBESKIND. EXAMINATION FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR IN MEDICINE.
