Lange, schmale Furchen zogen sich fiber ihre Wangen, das Kinn trat stark hervor, und das Haar erhielt einen Silberschimmer. Nur aus den dunkeln Tiefen ihrer vergramten Augen konnte man noch herauslesen wie schon sic einst gewesen war. " Ja, siehst Dv, jetzt bin ich cine alte Frau," sagte sic eines Morgens zu ihrem Sohne, als sic sich vor dem Spiegel die Haare kammte, " und das Gliick ist noch iminer nicht gekommen." ' Sei still, Mutter, wofiir bin ich clenn da? " erwiederte er, obwohl ihm gar nicht so hoffnungsfreudig zu Muthe war. Da liichelte sic traurig, streichelte ihm Wangen und Stirn und sagte " Ja, Da siehst mir ganz so aus, als hattst Dv das Gliick an den Fliigeln gefangen , aberich will nicht so reden," fuhr sic fort, ' was fing' ich wohl an, wenn ich Dich nicht hatte? " Solch em Augenblick tiberstromender Liebe musste fiir lange vorhalten, derm oft, vergingen Monate, ohne dass Mutter und Sohn vor lauter Beklommenheit der Herzen sich etwas Zartliches zu sagen wagten. —Extract from " Frau Sorge," by Hermann Suderman.

Ihr Wiesen, die ich wiisserte ! Ihr Biiume, Die ich gepflanzet, griinet frohlich fort, Lebt wohl! ihr Grotten unci ihr kiihlen Brunnen Dv Echo, holde Stimme dieses Thais, Die oft mir Antwort gab auf meine Lieder, Johanna geht, und nimmer kehrt sic wieder ! —Schiller's " Jungfrau yon Orleans."

Algebra. — For Class D, and for Junior Civil Service. Time allowed 3 hours. 1. If a—l, 6= 2, c= 3, find the values of— (1.) a 3 + & 3 -f-c 3 -3asc, (2.) (a+by-3(a+byc + 3(a+b)c*-c J , 2 B +P+c°^3a6c) vWc 2 (a + &+c) -2 a +56 2 -c 2 2. State the rule of signs in multiplication. Multiply a; 3 -3 a; 2 +3a;-l by ar , +3a; a +3a;+l. Verify the result in the particular case of a; = 3. 3. Divide the product obtained in the last question by X s —x l — x-{-\. 4. Show that (x+a) (x-\-b)=x' i -\-(a-\-b)x-\-ab. Hence writedown the product of x 2 and a;+s and resolve into simple factors— (1) a; 2 -57a;+56, (2) x 1 -56a;-57, (3) 56ai 2 -57a;+l. 5. What is meant by a common measure of two algebraical expressions? What by the highest common measure ? Find the highest common measure—■ (1) of 54aWc and 36a&V, (2) of z 3 -3a; 2 +3;r-l and ix'-lx^+ix-l. 6.

In a certain school the number of girls is three-quarters of the number of boys. In a second school there are fewer boys and more girls, the total number of scholars being one more than in the first school. The excess of the number of boys in the first school over that in the second is one-twelfth the number of girls in the first. The number of girls in the second exceeds that in the first by one-twelfth the number of boys in the first. Find the number of boys and girls in each school. 9. Two steamers run between two ports. The one does the journey in 4J hours, the other takes 54- hours. The quicker boat starts from one end half an hour before the slower one leaves the other When they meet, the slower one has travelled 19| miles. Find the distance between the ports.
