IGNORANT ASSURANCE.

Where men of judgment creep and feel their way, The positive pronounce without dismay, Their want of right and intellect supplied By sparks absurdity strikes out of pride. Where others toil with philosophic force, Their nimble nonsense takes a shorter course,— Flings at your head conviction in the lump, And gains remote conclusions at a jump. Their own defect, invisible to them, Seen in another, they at once condemn ; And, though self-idolized in every case, Hate their own likeness in a brother’s face.

Passage for Didaiion.

It may be well to point out that grave faults of pronunciation are rife amongst cultivated and well-bred people, who would probably repudiate such an accusation with surprise. But really I see no reason why these mispronunciations should not be called vulgarisms quite as truly as the others. The mistakes of the ignorant are in reality far more pardonable than' the wilful perversions of the cultivated. Ears that are accustomed to the eccentricities and affectations of the leisured classes usually fail to recognise them; but the good reader should as carefully eschew them as he should avoid the blunders of the illiterate, or the pedantry of the mere scholar.

Candidates should in all'cases attempt Question 1.

1. Translate into Latin :—

Many of the conspirators withdrew to their houses, hoping that, amidst the darkness of the night, they had passed un- observed, and might remain unknown. Others sought for safety by a timely retreat; and, before break of day, most of them fled with precipitation from a city which, but a few hours before, was ready to acknowledge them as masters. Next morning everything was quiet in Genoa; not an enemy was to be seen; few marks of the violence of the former night appeared, the conspirators having conducted their enterprise with more noise than bloodshed, and gained all their advantages by surprise, rather than by force of arms.

I Translate into Latin :—

Marlborough beat the victorious veterans and renowned marshals of France with an army to which he alone could have given unity and spirit. Of what other general, in modem history at least, can it be said that he never fought a battle which he did not win, or besieged a place which he did not take 1 Nor did he ever fail in an operation unless it was through the fault of the timorous traders or the intractable potentates with whom he had to act. No commander ever more completely clipped the wings of victory. Addison’s lines, describing his calmness and serenity amidst the rage of the doubtful battle, tell no more than truth. With all his meanness of character, Marlborough is one of the most superb figures, if not the most superb, in the annals of war.

1. Translate into Latin :—

But it happened, fortunately for Charles, that the confederates did not avail themselves of the advantage which lay so full in their view. In civil wars the first steps are commonly taken with much timidity and hesitation'. Men are solicitous, at that time, to put on the semblance of moderation and equity ; they strive to gain partizans by 'seeming to adhere strictly to known forms ; nor can they be brought at once to violate those estab- lished institutions, which, in times of tranquillity, they have been accustomed to reverence; hence their proceedings are often feeble or dilatory, when they ought to be most vigorous and decisive. Influenced by those considerations, which, happily for the peace of society, operate powerfully on the human mind, the confederates could not think of throwing off that allegiance which they owed to the head of the empire, or of turning their arms against him, without one solemn appeal more to his candour, and to the impartial judgment of their fellow-subjects. For this purpose they addressed a letter to the emperor, and a manifesto to all the inhabitants of Germany.

Her brother loved her dearly, but her wicked stepmother hated her. “ Child,” said the stepmother one day, “ go to the grocer’s shop and buy me a pound of candles.” She gave her the money ; and the little girl went, bought the candles and started on her return. There was a stile to cross. She put down the candles whilst she got over the stile. Up came a dog and ran off with the candles.

Half of these stories about the prodigious fortunes made by begging are, I verily believe, fnisers’ calumnies. One was much talked of in the public papers some time since. -A clerk in the Bank was surprised with the announcement of a five hundred pound legacy left him by a person whose name he was a stranger to. It seems that in his daily morning walks from Peckham (or some village thereabouts), where he lived, to his office, it had been his practice for the last twenty years to drop his halfpenny duly into the bat of some blind Bartimeus that sat begging alms by the wayside in the Borough. The good old beggar recognised his daily benefactor by the voice only; and when he died, left all the amassings of his alms to his old Bank friend.

I sometimes wish I had been that Bank clerk. (LAMB.)

Candidates must, in all eases, answer Questions 1, 2, and 3, and should attempt at least three (AND NOT MORE THAN FIVE) of the remaining Questions.

SECTION I.

1. Translate into French:—

(a.) We all know how unwilling we are to admit the truth of any disgraceful story about a person whose society we like, and from whom we have received favours; how long we struggle against evidence, how fondly, when the facts cannot be disputed, we cling to the hope that there may be some explanation or extenuating circumstance with which we are unacquainted. Just such is the feeling which a man of liberal education naturally entertains towards the great minds of former ages. The debt which he owes to them is incalculable. They have guided him to truth. They have filled his mind with noble and graceful images. They have stood by him in all vicissitudes, comforters in sorrow, nurses in. sickness, companions in solitude!

(b.) We said that the history of England is the history of progress; and, when we take a comprehensive view of it, it is so. But, when examined in small separate portions, it may with more propriety be called a history of actions and reactions. We have often thought that the motion of the public mind in our country resembles that of the sea when the tide is rising. Each successive wave rushes forward, breaks, and rolls back ; but the great flood is steadily coming in. A person who looked on the waters only for a moment might fancy that they were retiring. A person who looked on them only for five minutes might fancy that they were rushing capriciously to and fro. But when he keeps his eye on them for a quarter of an hour, and sees one sea- mark disappear after another, it is impossible for him to doubt of the general direction in which the ocean is moved. Just such has been the course of events in England.

The poet stepped back and exclaimed with indignation, “ What do you want from me '!■ I do not know you 1 ” “ What,” replied the other, “you do not know your own father 1 ” The proud poet, however, turned away as if it were the greatest disgrace to be the son of a lowly artisan.

a. Some days later he went to Gamylott, to pass a few week's with his parents, who were about to set forth upon a journey to Italy. When my Lord Marquess journeyed to the country he took no great suite with him, but only a couple of servants to attend him, while his old teacher rode at his side. The English June weather was heavenly fair, and the country a bower of -green, the sun shining with soft warmth, and the birds singing in the hedges and upon the leafy boughs. To ride a fine horse over country roads by wood, and moor, and sea, is a pleasant thing when a man is young and hale, and full of joy in Nature’s loveliness, and, above all, is riding to a home which seems more beautiful to him than any place on earth. So my Lord Marquess rode, and Mr. Fox with him, for two days. In the dewy morning they set forth, and travelled between green hedgerows, and through pretty, tiny villages, talking pleasantly as old friends will talk. For refreshments they drew rein at noon before some roadside inn whose eager host spread before them his very best, and himself waited upon them. When the sun set, one man-servant rode on before to prepare for their entertainment for the night; and when they cantered up to the hostelry they found the whole establishment ready to receive them, landlord and landlady bowing and curtseying on the threshold, and maidservants peeping from behind doors and through upper windows.
