The day soon arrived on which we were to disperse for the first time. My son, after taking leave of his mother and the rest, who mingled their tears with their kisses, came to ask a blessing from me. This I gave him from my heart, and which, added to five guineas, was all the patrimony I had now to bestow. "You are going, my boy," said I, "to London on foot, in the manner Hooker, your great ancestor, travelled there before you. Take from me the same horse that was given him by the good bishop Jewel, this staff; and take this book too, it will be your comfort on the way; these two lines in it are worth a million-'I have been young, and am now old; yet never saw I the righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.' Let this be your consolation as you travel on; go, my boy; whatever be thy fortune, let me see thee once a year; still keep a good heart, and farewell."-(The Vicar of Wakefield.)

Ein Indianer hatte seinen Nachbar um etwas Tabak gebeten. Am andern Morgen kam der Erstere wieder und brachte ihm einen Thaler, der unter dem Tabak gewesen war, zurück. Als ihm Einige rathen wollten, das Geld zu behalten, legte er die Hand auf das Herz und sagte:,, Hier im Herzen habe ich einen guten und einen bösen Menschen. Der gute Mensch hat gesagt: Das Geld gehört dir nicht, gib es seinem Herrn zurück. Der böse Mensch sagte mir: Man hat es dir gegeben, es gehört dir. Der gute sagte darauf: Dies ist nicht wahr, der Tabak gehört dir, aber das Geld nicht. Der böse Mensch sagte dann wieder: Beunruhige dich nicht, gehe und kaufe dir Branntwein dafür. Ich wußte nicht, wozu ich mich entschließen sollte. Endlich, um zur Ruhe zu kommen, legte ich mich aufs Bett.
