Matthew Wald, the last of the four, is both too gloomy and too extravagant: it deals with a mad hero. But Adam Blair, which was published in the same year with Valerius, is a wonderful little book. The story is not well told; but the characters and the principal situation a violent passion entertained by a pious widowed minister for his neighbour's wife are handled with extraordinary power.
The popular designations of spike-leaved trees are always more vague and uncertain in their application than those of broad-leaved trees. PINUS, PINE, has been very loosely employed even in botanical nomenclature, and KIEFER, FICHTE, and TANNE are often confounded in German. Rossmassler, Der Wald, pp. 256, 289, 324. A similar confusion in the names of this family of trees exists in India. Dr.
In an article inserted in the Annales Forestieres for 1843, quoted by Hohenstein, Der Wald, p. 177, it is said that about one-third of the area of the department had already become absolutely barren, in consequence of clearing, and that the destruction of the woods was still going on with great rapidity.
Crabbit was, and cause had. Comparisons are odious. Cold cools the love that kindles over hot. Cut duels in every Town. Condition makes, and condition breakes. Come not to the councell uncalled. Dead and marriage makes Term-day. Do weil and have weil. Do as ye wald be done to. Do in Hill, as ye wald do in Hall. Dame dein warily. Dummie cannot lie. Draff is good enough for Swine.
She answered that "when sundrie persons came to her to seek help for their beast, their cow, or ewe, or for any barne that was tane away with ane evill blast of wind, or elf grippit, she gait and speirit at Thom what myght help them; and Thom would pull ane herb and gif her out of his awin hand, and bade her scheir the same with ony other kind of herbis, and oppin the beistes mouth, and put thame in, and the beist wald mend."
Charles Louis Sand was born on the 5th of October, 1795, at Wonsiedel, in the Fichtel Wald; he was the youngest son of Godfrey Christopher Sand, first president and councillor of justice to the King of Prussia, and of Dorothea Jane Wilheltmina Schapf, his wife.
When the young men from the Gymnasium come into the freedom of university life, they toss their heads a bit, kick up their heels, laugh long and loud at the Philistine, but just as every German climax is incomplete without tears, so they too are soon singing: "Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten dass ich so traurig bin!" the gloom of the Teutoburger Wald settles down on them, and they buckle to and work with an enduring patience such as few other men in the world display, and join the great army here who, bitted and harnessed, are pulling the Vaterland to the front.
Every man can rule an ill wife, but he that hes Her. Eaten meat is good to pay. Eild wald have Honour. Evening Orts is good morning-fother. Every man wisheth the water to his own milne. Early maister, lang knave. Every land hes his lauch, and every corne hes the caff. Eat and drink measurely, and defie the mediciners. Every man for Himself, quoth the mertine. Efter delay comes a Let.

For the moment, but it is probably not for long, we have the advantage in the knowledge bred of experience. The German comes from the forest, loves the forest. "Kein Yolk ist so innig mit seinem Wald erwachsen wie das Deutsche, keines liebt den Wald so sehr."
