A FUNERAL DANCE[1].
Drums were beating[2], horns blowing[3], and[4] people were seen all running in one direction. The cause was a funeral dance. I joined[5] the crowd, and soon found myself in[6] the midst of the entertainment[7]. The dancers were most (+höchst+) grotesquely[8] got up[9]. About a dozen huge ostrich feathers adorned their helmets. Leopard or black and white monkey-skins[10] were suspended[11] from their shoulders, and a leather, tied (S. 7, N. 3, _A_) round the waist, covered a large iron bell which was strapped[12] upon the loins of each dancer; this they rang[13] to the time of the dance. A large crowd got up in[14] this style[15] created[16] an indescribable hubbub, heightened[17] by the blowing of[18] horns and the beating of seven nogaras[19] of various notes[20]. Every dancer wore[21] an antelope’s horn[22] suspended round the neck, which he blew occasionally in[23] the height of his excitement.—SIR S. BAKER, THE ALBERT N’YANZA.
[1] +Ein Tanz zur Leichenfeier.+
[2] were beating = were being beaten. See S. 2, N. 1. To beat a drum, +eine Trommel rühren+.
[3] horns (were) blowing = horns resounded (+ertönen+).
[4] Say ‘and one saw all (+alles+) people run in (+nach+) one direction.
[5] +sich an´schließen+, which requires the dat.
[6] in the midst, +inmitten+, which requires the gen.
[7] entertainment = festivity.

[21] wore ... suspended = had ... hanging; ‘round’, here +an+.
[22] To render ‘antelope’s horn’ form a compound noun of the pl. of the noun ‘antelope’ and the singl. of the noun ‘horn’. Comp. S. 36, N. 7, _A_, _B_, and _C_, and mark further:
_A._ Although the first component of =Compound Nouns= is generally in the singular, =some require the plural=; as—+Kinderstube+, f., nursery; +Bildergallerie+, f., picture-gallery.
_B_, 1. The first component takes sometimes one of =the genitive inflections +s+, +es+, +n+, +en+, or +ens+=, according to the declension it belongs to; as—+Königsmantel+, m., royal mantel; +Tageslicht+, n., day-light; +Heldenmut+, m., heroism; +Friedensliebe+, f., love of peace.
2. We find, however, =the terminations +s+ or +es+ used as a connecting link= between the two components =for the mere sake of euphony=, even in cases where the first component is a feminine noun; this is more especially the case when the first component is in itself a compound expression, when it has one of the derivative suffixes +heit+, +ing+, +ling+, +keit+, +schaft+, +tum+, +ung+, or when it is a noun of foreign origin terminating in +ion+, +at+, and +ät+; as—+Geburtstag+, m., birthday; +Hochzeitsgeschenk+, n., wedding present; +Weisheitslehre+, f., philosophy; +Religionsduldung+, f., toleration; +Universitätsgericht+, n., university court.
_C._ In a few compound nouns we find one of the euphonic terminations =+e+, +er+, and +l+ used as a connecting link= between the two components; as—+Tagewerk+, n., day’s work; +Aschermittwoch+, m., Ash-Wednesday; +Heidelbeere+, bilberry.
_D_, 1. When =the first component= consists of =the stem of a verb=, it is often joined to the second component without a connecting link; as—+Schreibbuch+, n., copy-book.
2. Sometimes =a euphonic +e+ is used as a connection link=; as—+Zeigefinger+, m., forefinger; +Haltepunkt+, m., place of stopping.
[23] in — excitement = in the highest excitement.

ABSOLUTION BEFOREHAND[1].
When Tezel[2] was at Leipzig, in the sixteenth century (App. § 9), and had collected[3] a great deal of money from all ranks[4] of people, a nobleman, who suspected imposition, put[5] the question to him: “Can you[6] grant absolution for a sin which a man[7] shall intend to commit in future?” “Yes,” replied the frontless commissioner, “but on[8] condition that a proper[9] sum of money be actually[10] paid down.” The noble (S. 5, N. 2) instantly produced the sum demanded, and in return[11] received a diploma[12], sealed and signed by Tezel, absolving[13] him from the unexplained crime which he intended to commit. Not[14] long after, when Tezel was about (S. 6, N. 4) to leave Leipzig, the nobleman made[15] inquiry respecting the road he would probably travel[16], waited[17] for him in ambush at a convenient place, attacked and robbed him, then[18] beat him soundly with a stick, sent him back to Leipzig with[19] his chest empty, and[20] at parting said: “This is the fault[21] I intended to commit, and for which I have your absolution[22].”—REV. R. K. ARVINE.
[1] +Der im voraus erteilte Ablaß.+
[2] +~Johann Tezel~ (eigentlich Diezel) wurde um 1460 zu Leipzig geboren, trat 1489 in den Dominikanerorden, ward 1502 vom Papst zum Ablaßprediger bestellt, später zum apostolischen Kommissar ernannt und mit dem Ablaßhandel in Sachsen betraut, zog sich jedoch, von Luther seit dem 31ˢᵗᵉⁿ Oktober 1517 wegen seiner unverschämten Anmaßungen bekämpft, in das Paulinerkloster zu Leipzig zurück, wo er im Jahre 1519 verstarb.+

STAND UP[1] FOR WHATEVER IS TRUE, MANLY, AND LOVELY[2].
I.
In[3] no place in the world has individual character more[4] weight than at a public school. Remember[5] this, I beseech[6] you, _all_ you boys who[7] are getting into the upper forms. Now[8] is the time when you may[9] have more[10] influence for good or evil in the society you live in than you ever can have[11] again. Quit[12] yourselves like men, then; speak out[13] and stand up for whatever is true, manly, and lovely. Never (S. 68, N. 2) try to be popular[13], but _only_ do your duty, and help[14] others to do theirs; and when you leave the school (S. 27, N. 8), the[15] tone of feeling in it will be higher than you found it, and so you[16] will do good to[17] generations of your countrymen yet unborn. For boys follow one another in herds like sheep, for[18] good or evil; they[19] hate thinking, and[20] have rarely _any_ settled[21] principles.

For the sake of emphasis the personal pronoun is frequently repeated after the relative pronoun, and the verb must then agree with the personal pronoun, as the following examples will show.
+Verschmähst du ~mich~, ~die ich~ deine Freundin bin?+
Dost thou disdain _me_, _who_ am your friend?
+~Ich~, ~der ich~ dich von deinen Feinden befreite.+
_I_, _who_ delivered thee from thy enemies.
Construe the clauses ‘who — forms’ accordingly; to get into the upper forms, +in die obern Klassen versetzt werden+.

[15] the — higher = the moral tone of the same (gen.) will be a higher _one_ (S. 67, N. 3).

Every school (S. 5, N. 2), indeed, has its own traditionary standard[1] of right and wrong, which cannot be transgressed with impunity, marking[2] certain things as low[3] and blackguard, and certain others as lawful and right. This standard is ever[4] varying, though _it changes_ only slowly and little by little. It[5] is the leading[6] boys only, who (S. 15, N. 3), subject[7] to such standard, give, for[8] the time being, the tone to[9] all the rest, and[10] make the school either a noble institution for[11] the training of Christian Englishmen, or a place[12] where a _young_ boy will get[13] more evil than if he were turned out[14] to make his[15] own way in London streets.—THOS.

WORK[1] IS A GREAT COMFORTER.
Two neighbouring gardeners had the misfortune of[2] having their crop of early peas killed by frost. The one called[3] upon the other to condole[4] with him. “Ah,” cried he, “how unfortunate[5] we have been, neighbour! Do you[6] know? I have done nothing but fret ever since[7]. But it seems you have there a fine healthy[8] crop[9] coming[10] up already; what[11] is it?” “This?” cried the other gardener, “why[12], it is a crop of peas (S. 16, N. 10) I sowed (S. 48, N. 2) immediately after my loss.” “What[13], coming up already?” replied the fretter[14]. “Yes, while you were fretting[15], I[16] was working.” “What! don’t you fret when you have a loss?” “Yes, but I always put it off[17] until _after_ I have repaired[18] the mischief[19].” “Why, then you have no need to fret at all.” “True[20],” replied the industrious gardener, “I[21] find working better than fretting.”—ANONYMOUS.

PERSEVERANCE FINDS ITS REWARD.
Robert Bruce, restorer[1] of the Scottish monarchy, being[2] pursued one day by the enemy, was[3] obliged[4] to seek refuge in a barn and to spend[5] the night there. In[6] the morning, when he awoke, he saw a spider climbing up[7] the[8] beam of the roof. The spider fell[9] _down_ to the ground, but immediately tried to climb up again, when it a[10] second time fell to the ground[11]. It made a third attempt, which also failed. Twelve times did (S. 32, N. 11) the little spider try to climb up the beam, and twelve times it fell down again, but the[10] thirteenth time it succeeded[12] and[13] gained the top[14] of the beam. The king (S. 5, N. 2) immediately got up[15] from his lowly[16] couch, and said: “This little spider has taught (S. 42, N. 4) me perseverance; I will follow its example. Twelve times have[17] I been beaten by the enemy. I will try my fortune once more!” He did so[18], and won the next battle. The king became the spider’s scholar.—N. GOODRICH.

THE NECESSITY OF[1] VOLCANOES.
The[2] remarkable proofs which modern geology has presented of vast accumulations of heated[3] and melted matter[4] beneath the earth’s crust[5], make it evident that (S. 3, N. 2) volcanoes are essential[6] to the preservation of the globe. If (App. § 36) there[7] were no safety-valves through[8] the crust, such vast accumulations of heat would rend asunder[9] even[10] a whole continent. Volcanoes are[11] those safety-valves[12], more than two hundred of which are scattered[13] over the earth’s surface. But if no such passages[14] existed (see S. 27, N. 8), nothing could prevent the[15] pent-up gases from accumulating till they had (Impf. Subj.) gained strength[16] enough to rend a whole continent, and[17] perhaps the whole globe, into fragments.—REV. PROF. HITCHCOCK.
[1] Use the gen. of the def. art.

THE POWER OF BEAUTY.
In one of the worst parts of London there is[1] an institution[2] which I visited. In one room I found about[3] thirty-five men listening (S. 16, N. 4) to the teaching[4] of the daughter of a small shopkeeper[5] in[6] the neighbourhood. She was one of the prettiest women (S. 16, N. 10) I ever saw[7] in my life. I noticed that the young girl was quite alone with those rough[8] men, and said to the superintendent[9]: “Are[10] you not afraid to leave the pretty young girl alone with all those men?” He replied: “I[11] am.” “Then, why don’t you go to her?” “You mistake[12] my fear. I[13] am not afraid of their doing her any harm. They love her so much that they would lick[14] the ground on which[15] she walks, but I am afraid[16] that some[17] person may step in, who, not[18] knowing the manner of the place, may[19] say something impertinent[20] to her; and if he[21] did, he would not leave the place[22] alive[23].”—LORD SHAFTESBURY.

THE ENGLISH CLIMATE.
The air is generally very moist, most[1] so near the western coast, and less so[2] as[3] we go eastward.
It[4] is to the abundant moisture of the air that the beautiful foliage of our trees and the rich verdure of our fields and gardens, so much praised by foreigners who visit England, are chiefly owing. Moisture is one of the two things[5] most necessary to[6] vegetation, and hence[7] our fields, trees, and woods possess during the greater part of the year a continuous richness of[8] verdure, which[9] cannot be found under[10] the sunny skies of the shores of the Mediterranean.
The weather is at[11] times liable to very sudden changes, depending (S. 16, N. 4) mainly on the changes of the wind[12].—HEWITT, PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF ENGLAND AND WALES.

THE LONDON DOCKS.
I.
Seemingly[1] boundless is the region of the docks, and the visitor who sets out with ever so definite an idea of the course he intends to pursue, will constantly find himself allured from the path. He passes[2] a door from[3] which issues a delicious fragrance of spice, and he turns in[4] to (S. 19, N. 7) explore[5] it. At[6] the top of a stone staircase he finds an enormous floor[7] piled[8] with bales of cinnamon and boxes of nutmeg. Here and there are great heaps which, on[9] close inspection, prove[10] to be cloves. Others, of[11] _a_ brilliant sienna colour, he[12] finds to be heaps of mace. The[13] floor above this is stored[14] with Peruvian bark[15]. This article is used for the preparation[16] of quinine, but[17] it is imported in such quantities[18] as[19] to render it difficult to believe that[20] it can all be used medicinally.
[1] Say ‘The region (+Bereich+, m.) of the docks seems (+erscheinen+) almost boundless (+unbegrenzt+), and even when the visitor begins his course (+Wanderung+, f.) with ever so (+mit einem noch so+) definite a plan about (+über+) the direction he intends to pursue (+die einzuschlagende Richtung+, Comp.
