THÈME ANGLAIS

If I had not brothers and sisters, who sliall be in vs^ant of my aid, after the death of my father, I would be not at ail anxious of searching for an employ, but I would live with the product of the translations, and I would live then in town, then in country. In town, I would collect remarks about men; in country, I would compose poems. So great is my pi'opensity for the country life, that my heart should endure difficultly of passing away my whole time in town.When I think of country, my heart pants. A cottage, a wood, a meadow with a silvered rivulet, and a small family in my cottage, there are ail my desires on this earth. I hâve already friends, I want of desiring not any ; their friendship shall make calm my gloomy hours, and more happy my moments of happiness. I will read their letters and woi'ks near my spring, and I will remember the charming days which hâve passed in their intimacy.
