a friend; one human soul whom we can trust utterly; a friend who knows
the best and the worst[4] of us, and who loves us, in spite of all our
faults; who will[5] speak the honest[6] truth to us, while the world
flatters us to[7] our face, and laughs _at us_ behind our backs; who will
give[8] us counsel and reproof in the days of (S. 3, N. 2) prosperity and
self-conceit; but[9] who, again, will comfort and encourage us in the
days of difficulty[10], and sorrow, when the world leaves[11] us alone
to[12] fight our _own_ battle as we can.
If we have had the _good_ fortune to win such a friend, let us do
anything[13] rather[14] than lose him. We must give and forgive; live and
let live. If our friend have[15] faults, we must bear[16] with them (S.
4, N. 5, _B_). We must hope all _things_, believe all _things_, endure
all _things_, rather[17] than lose that most precious of all earthly
possessions—a trusty[18] friend.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF FRIENDSHIP.
II.
_And_ a friend once won (S. 7, N. 3, _A_) need[1] never be lost, if we
will only be trusty and true ourselves. Friends may[2] part, not merely
in body, but in spirit, for a while. In the bustle of (S. 3, N. 2)
business and the accidents of life, they may lose[3] sight of each other
for years (S. 115, N. 4); and[4] more—they[5] may begin to differ in
their success in life, in their opinions, in their habits, and _there_
may be, for a time[6], coldness and estrangement between them: but not
for ever, if each will be but trusty and true.
For then[7], according to[8] the beautiful figure of the poet, they will
be like two ships which set sail[9] at morning from the same port, _and_
ere[10] nightfall lose sight of each other, and[11] go each on its own
course, and at its own pace, for many days, through many storms and seas;
and[12] yet meet again, and[13] find themselves lying side by side in the
same haven, when the long voyage is past.—CHARLES KINGSLEY, “THE WATER OF
LIFE.”
[1] need — lost = we need (+brauchen+) never to lose.
[2] may = can, after which place the adverbial clause ‘for a while’,
+auf kurze Zeit+; the verb ‘part’, which is equivalent to ‘be separated’
should stand at the end of the whole passage; ‘in body’, +körperlich+;
‘in spirit’, +geistig+.
[3] to lose sight of each other, +sich aus dem Gesicht verlieren+.
[4] +ja noch mehr.+
[5] Say ‘it is possible that their success in life, their opinions, their
habits begin to differ (+differieren+)’.
[6] for a time, +eine Zeit lang+, which place after ‘and’; ‘may’, here
+mag+; ‘be’, here = exist, +bestehen+.
[7] Here follow copula and subject according to App. § 14.
[8] according to, +nach+; figure, +Bild+, n.; to be like, +gleichen+,
which governs the Dat.
[9] to set sail, +aus´segeln+.
[10] ere nightfall, +vor Dunkelwerden+.
[11] Say ‘and of which each through many storms and upon many seas
(+Meer+, n.) for days pursues its own course (+Richtung+, f.) and its own
pace (+Lauf+, m.)’.
[12] and — again, +welche aber dennoch wieder zusam´mentreffen+.
[13] Say ‘and find that they lie after the long voyage (+Seefahrt+, f.)

“I want to be at work[2] in the world,” said Tom, “and not dawdling
away[3] three years at Oxford.”
“What do you mean[4] by ‘at work in the world?’” said the master, with[5]
his lips close to his saucerful of tea, and peering at Tom over it.
“Well, I mean real work; one’s[6] profession, whatever[7] one will really
have to do, and make one’s living by. I want to be doing some real good,
feeling (S. 30, N. 4) that I am not only at play[8] in the world,”
answered Tom, rather[9] puzzled to find out himself what he really did
mean.
“You are mixing up two very different things in your head, I[10] think,
Brown,” said the master, putting down[11] (S. 111, N. 6) the empty
saucer, “and you ought to get clear[12] about them (S. 4, N. 5, _B_).
You[13] talk of ‘working to get your living’ and ‘doing some real good in
the world’ in the same breath.”
[1] +Wirkungskreis+, m.; your = thy.
[2] to be at work = to do something.
[3] to dawdle away, +vergeuden+.

[5] +Die Lippen an den Rand der vollen Untertasse setzend+; to peer at a
person, +auf einen blicken+; over it, +darüber weg+.
[6] +jemandes.+
[7] whatever (+das was+) one must really do to make one’s living (+seinen
Unterhalt verdienen+).
[8] at play = for play (+zum Spielen+).
[9] Say ‘somewhat puzzled (+verlegen+) at (+über+) the meaning (+Sinn+,
m.) of his words’.
[10] The words ‘I think, Brown’ are best placed at the head of the
passage; Comp. S. 64, N. 11; to mix up, +vermengen+.
[11] +auf den Tisch stellen+.
[12] to get clear about a thing, +sich über etwas klar werden+. I cannot
get clear about that, +ich kann mir darüber nicht klar werden+;—ought =
should.
[13] Use the 2nd pers. sing., and read carefully S. 1, N. 3, and S. 87,
N. 6, which will enable you to construe this passage. The adverbial
clause ‘in the same breath’ (= in one breath) must be placed after the
predicate ‘talk’; to talk of a thing, +von etwas sprechen+.
_Section 120._
DO GOOD IN YOUR OWN SPHERE OF ACTION.
II.
Now[1], you may be getting a good living in a profession, and yet doing
no good _at all_ in the world, but (S. 6, N. 10) quite[2] the contrary.
Keep[3] the latter before you as your one object, and you[4] will be
right whether you make a living[5] or not; but[6] if you dwell on the
other, you’ll very likely drop[7] into mere money-making, and let[8] the
world take care of itself, for good or evil. Don’t be in a hurry[9] about
finding your work in the world _for yourself_; you are not old enough to
(S. 19, N. 7) judge for yourself yet, but just[10] look about you in the
place you find yourself in, and try (S. 51, N. 13) to make things[11] a
little better and honester there. You’ll[12] find plenty to keep your
hand in at Oxford, or wherever else you [may] go. And[13] don’t be led
away to think this part of the world important, and that unimportant.
Every corner of the world is important. No man knows whether this _part_
or that part is[14] most so, but every man may[15] do some honest work in
his own corner.—THOMAS HUGHES, “TOM BROWN’S SCHOOL DAYS.”
[1] Now — getting, +Du kannst dir nun aber vielleicht ... verdienen+.
[2] quite = just, +gerade+.
[3] Say ‘Keep the last part of your sentence as your principal aim
(+Hauptzweck+, m.) before your eyes (+vor Augen+)’.
[4] Say ‘you will do right’.
[5] Insert +dabei+ after ‘living’.
[6] Say ‘but if you have only the other (to agree with ‘part’) before
your eyes’.
[7] to drop into mere money-making, +in bloße Geldmacherei verfallen+.
[8] to let the world take care of itself for good or evil, +die Welt im
Guten und im Bösen sich selbst überlassen+.
[9] to be in a hurry, +sich beeilen+; about finding = to find (S. 1, N.
3).
[10] ‘just’, here nur, which place after verb and pronoun; in the place,
+an der Stelle+; to find oneself, +sich befinden+.
[11] ‘things’, here = life, with def. art., after which place the adv.
‘there’; honester = more virtuous.
[12] The clause ‘at Oxford — go’ is best placed at the head of the whole
passage; to keep your hand in = to do.
[13] And — away, +Laß dich auch nicht dazu verleiten+; to think a thing
important, +eine Sache für wichtig halten+.
[14] is most so = is most important.—=When the superlative is used as
a predicate, it is generally preceded by +am+= (the preposition +an+
contracted with the definite article, dative case singular, masculine),
=and takes the dative termination +en+=; as—This matter is not important,
but that is _most important_, +diese Sache ist nicht wichtig, aber jene
ist ~am wichtigsten~+.
[15] may — corner = can in his own corner do _something_ good.

THE STATE[1] OF IRELAND.
(Conclusion of a Speech delivered[2] in the House of Commons in March
1868.)
I.
We must all endeavour to get[3] rid of passion in[4] discussing this
church question, which[5], I am sorry to say, is, of all others, the most
calculated to create passion. We are[6] all, I believe, of one religion.
I do not know (S. 51, N. 13), but I suppose there[7] will come a time in
the history of the world, when men will be astonished[8] that Catholic[9]
and Protestant, Churchman[10] and Nonconformist[11], had[12] so much
animosity and suspicion against each other.
I[13] _accept and_ believe in a very grand passage which I once met[14]
with in the writings of the illustrious founder of the colony and (S. 10,
N. 9) state _of_ Pennsylvania, that[15] “the humble[16], meek, merciful,
just, pious, and devout souls are[6] everywhere of[6] one religion;
and when death[17] (S. 3, N. 2) has taken off the mask, they will
know[18] one another, though the diverse liveries[19] they wear make[20]
them strangers.”
[1] +Zustand+, m.
[2] to deliver a speech, +eine Rede halten+. Construe according to S. 7,
N. 3, _A_; the House of Commons, +das Haus der Gemeinen+.
[3] to get rid of passion, +sich der Leidenschaftlichkeit enthalten+.
[4] in discussion = when we discuss (+besprechen+).
[5] +welche leider mehr als jede andere dazu angethan ist, die
Leidenschaften zu erregen.+
[6] are = have; of one = the same. Commence the passage with ‘I believe’.
[7] there — time, +es wird einst ... eine Zeit kommen+.
[8] to be astonished at a thing, +sich über etwas wundern+. Comp. S. 87,
N. 6.
[9] Use the pl. with this and the three following nouns.
[10] = members of the English Church.

[12] to have animosity, +Feindschaft hegen+.
[13] Say ‘I believe in (+an+, with Acc.) _the_ following sublime
utterance (+Äußerung+, f.)’.
[14] met with = read.
[15] The passage ‘that — religion’ will be much improved by substituting
the adverb ‘+nämlich+:’ (viz.) for the conjunction ‘that’.
[16] +die Bescheidenen.+
[17] After ‘death’ insert the pron. ‘+ihnen+’, which will make the
reading much clearer; auxiliary ‘has’ may be omitted according to App. §

II.
Let us act in this spirit, and our work is[1] easy. The noble lord (S. 5,
N. 2), towards[2] the conclusion of his speech, spoke of the cloud which
is at present hanging[3] over Ireland. It is a dark and heavy cloud,
and its darkness expands[4] over the feelings of men in all parts of
the British Empire. But[5] there is a consolation that we may all take
to ourselves. An inspired king, bard, and prophet has left[6] us words
which[7] are not only the expression of a fact, but we may take them as
the utterance of a prophecy. He says: “To[8] the upright there arises
light in the darkness.”
Let us try in this matter to be upright[9]. Let us try to be just, and
that cloud will[10] be dispelled; the dangers which we see will vanish;
and we[11] may have the happiness of leaving[6] (S. 1, N. 3) to our
children the heritage of an honourable citizenship in a united and
prosperous[12] empire.—THE RIGHT HON. JOHN BRIGHT.
[1] is easy = will be easy for us (Dat. of persn. pron.).
[2] +an+, contr. with the dat. of the def. art.
[3] +schweben.+
[4] +sich erstre´cken.+
[5] Say ‘But one consolation we can all gather from it’. To gather,
+entnehmen+; from, aus. Read S. 4, N. 5, _B_.
[6] +hinterlassen+, insep. comp. str. v.
[7] Say ‘which not merely designate (+bezeichnen+) a fact (S. 115, N.
2), but (S. 6, N. 10) which we may (= can) also take (+hin´nehmen+) as a
prophecy (read App. § 18)’.
[8] “+Für den Gerechten erhebt sich ein Licht in der Finsternis+”.
[9] I think there is but the adj. ‘+gerecht+’ to render both ‘upright’
and ‘just’ in the underlying sense.
[10] +wird sich verteilen.+
[11] we may have = we shall perhaps have; happiness = joy.
[12] prosperous, +glücklich+; empire = state.

DR. GUTHRIE ON RAGGED SCHOOLS[1].
I.
The[2] interest I have been led to take in the Ragged School movement is
an example of how, in Providence, a man’s destiny—his course of life,
like that of a river—may be determined and affected by very trivial
circumstances. It is rather[3] curious—at least it is interesting for me
to[4] remember—that (S. 66, N. 15) _it was_ by a picture I was first[5]
led to take an interest in ragged schools—by a picture in an old,
obscure[6], decaying burgh[7] that stands on the shores of the Frith of
Forth, the birth-place (S. 53, N. 9) of[8] Thomas Chalmers. I went[9]
to see this place many years ago, and, going (S. 55, N. 1) into an inn
for[10] refreshment, I found the room covered (App. § 1) with pictures
of shepherdesses with their crooks, and sailors in[11] holiday attire,
not[12] particularly interesting. But above the chimney-piece there[13]
was a large print[14], more[15] respectable than its neighbours,
which[16] represented a cobbler’s room.
[1] +Doktor Guthrie über die Schulen für verwahrloste Kinder.—Sogenannte+
‘Ragged Schools’ +existieren in Deutschland wohl nicht, und zwar aus dem
einfachen Grunde, weil wir sie bisher nicht nötig hatten+.
[2] This passage requires an altogether different construction. Say ‘The
circumstances which led me (+welche mich dahin führten+) to interest
myself for the establishment of schools for neglected children, are an
example of (+davon+) how through Providence (+durch die Vorsehung+) the
fate of a man (+Mensch+)—his course of life (S. 76, N. 22, _B_, 1) like
(+gleich+, with dat.) that of a river—can be determined and affected
(+beeinflußt+) by very trivial (+geringfügig+) circumstances’. For the
position of the verbs read App. §§ 16-20.
[3] ‘rather’, here = not _a_ little.
[4] to remember, +mich daran zu erinnern+.
[5] +zuerst.+
[6] obscure = unknown.
[7] ‘burgh’, here +Flecken+, m.; the relat. clause ‘that — Forth’
may be elegantly rendered attributively, thus: +am Ufer des Frith of
Forth belegen+, which last word inflect correctly and place before the
qualified noun ‘burgh’.
[8] +von.+
[9] went to see = visited; place, +Ort+, m.; the adverbial clause of time
is best placed at the head of the passage.
[10] Say ‘to (= in order to) refresh myself’.
[11] in holiday attire, +im Festanzuge+.
[12] Insert ‘_which were_’.
[13] there was = hung.
[14] print, _Holzschnitt_, m.; or _Kupferstich_, m.
[15] Supply ‘which was’; ‘respectable’, here = tolerable, +erträglich+.
[16] Since we commenced the preceding clause with a relative pronoun,
it need not be repeated here. Substitute the conj. ‘and’ for ‘which’; a
cobbler’s room = the workshop of a cobbler.
_Section 124._

II.
The[1] cobbler was there himself, spectacles[2] on nose, an old shoe
between his (S. 43, N. 9) knees, the massive[3] forehead and firm mouth
indicating[4] great determination of character, and, beneath his bushy
eyebrows, benevolence[5] gleamed out on a number of poor ragged boys and
girls who stood at their lessons round the busy cobbler. My curiosity
was awakened; and in the inscription I read how this man, John Pounds,
a cobbler in Portsmouth, took[6] pity on the multitude of[7] poor
ragged children left[8] by ministers and magistrates, _and_ ladies and
gentlemen, to go to ruin in the streets—how[9], like a good shepherd,
he gathered in these wretched[10] outcasts—how he had trained[11] them
to God and the world—and how[12], while earning his daily bread by[13]
the sweat of his brow, he had rescued[14] from misery and saved to[15]
society not less than five hundred of these gentlemen[16]. I felt[17]
ashamed of myself. I[18] felt reproved for the little I had done. My
feelings[19] were touched. I was astonished at the man’s achievements;
and I[20] well remember, in[21] the enthusiasm of the moment, saying to
my companion (and I have seen in my cooler and calmer moments no reason
for[22] unsaying the saying): “That man is[23] an honour to humanity,
and deserves the greatest monument ever[24] raised within the shores of
Britain.”

cobbler. To stand around a person, +um einen herum´stehen+.

[8] left — streets = which ministers (+Geistliche+) and magistrates
(+Obrigkeit+, f.) had left (+überlas´sen+) to their ruin in (+auf+) the
streets. Read App. § 17.
[9] After ‘how’ follows the subject ‘he’ according to S. 66, N. 15.
[10] wretched = unfortunate; gathered in = assembled around himself, +um
sich her versammelte+.
[11] to train, +erzie´hen+; to, +für+.
[12] +und wie er sie, während er ... verdiente.+
[13] by — brow, +im Schweiße seines Angesichtes+, which place after
‘daily bread’.
[14] to rescue from misery, +aus dem Elend ziehen+. The auxiliary verb,
which must be used in the Subjunctive, according to App. §§ 28 and 30,
may be omitted in the intermediate clauses of this long period, and
placed but once at the end of the entire passage.
[15] Use the dat. of the def. art.
[16] The word ‘gentlemen’ is best used in its unaltered form in this
passage. It should be placed in inverted commas.
[17] to feel ashamed of oneself, +sich beschämt fühlen+.
[18] Say ‘The little (+was+) I had done was to me (+mir+) a reproach’.
[19] feelings = heart.
[20] I well remember = I know yet very well.
[21] Say ‘that I said in the enthusiasm of the moment’, etc.

I[1] took up that man’s history, and _I_ found it animated by[2] the
spirit of[3] Him who[4] had “compassion on the multitude.” John Pounds
was a clever man besides[5]; and, like[6] Paul, if he could not win a
poor boy in (+auf+) any other way, he won him by art. He[7] would be seen
chasing a ragged boy along the quays, and compelling him to come to[8]
school, not by (+durch+) the power[9] of a policeman, but by the power of
a hot potato. He knew the love an[10] Irishman has for a potato; and[11]
John Pounds might be seen holding under a boy’s nose a _very_ hot potato,
and[12] wearing a coat as ragged as the boy himself wore. When the day
comes when[13] honour shall be done to whom honour is due[14], I[15] can
fancy the crowd of those whose fame poets (S. 3, N. 2) have sung[16], and
to whose memory monuments have been raised, dividing[17] like a wave,
and[18] passing the great, and the noble, and the mighty of the land,
