Pale child of Ignorance and Fear,

Embodying shapes of things unknown:

When, when shall rise the glorious morn

Of heavenly radiance unconfined?

When shall the mental veil be torn,

And God be known by all mankind?

Full many a ray must pierce the soul,

Ere darkness quits the southern pole:

Yet here are maidens kind and true

As ever northern pencil drew;

And here are warriors brave and young

As ever northern minstrel sung!

And see, upon the valley’s side

With fairy footstep lightly glide

A train of virgins soft and fair,

With sparkling eyes and shining hair,

As beauteous as the flowers they bear—

Fresh flowers of every scent and hue,

Besprinkled with the morning dew,

Which they have risen before the sun

To gather for some favourite one.

На Тонга существует обычай, по которому молодые женщины собирают цветы рано утром и по возвращении плетут из них различные украшения для себя, своих родственников и друзей. Они собирают их на восходе солнца, пока утренняя роса еще свежа на них; потому что, когда они сорваны в это время, их аромат сохраняется дольше.

[240] Из «Океанской пещеры, повести об островах Тонга», 1819 г.

ЧУВСТВИТЕЛЬНОСТЬ У ВОРОНА.

В 1785 году в гостинице «Красный лев» в Хангерфорде, Уилтшир, жил ворон, о котором корреспондент сообщил «Мистеру Урбану» следующую историю:—

Его имя, кажется, «Раф»: и вы должны знать, что когда я зашел в эту гостиницу, мой экипаж переехал или ушиб лапу моей ньюфаундлендской собаки. Пока мы осматривали травму собаки, Раф был явно обеспокоенным зрителем; ибо, как только собаку привязали под яслями рядом с моими лошадьми, Раф не только навещал его, но и приносил ему кости, и ухаживал за ним с особыми и повторяющимися знаками доброты. Внимание птицы к собаке было настолько заметным, что я указал на это конюху. Джон тогда сказал мне, что ворон был выращен с птенцового возраста в тесной дружбе с собакой; что привязанность между ними была взаимной; и что все соседи часто были свидетелями бесчисленных актов доброты, которые они оказывали друг другу. Бедная собака Рафа через некоторое время, к несчастью, сломала лапу; и в течение долгого времени, пока он был прикован к месту, Раф постоянно ухаживал за ним, ежедневно приносил ему пропитание и почти никогда не оставлял его одного. Однажды ночью конюх случайно закрыл дверь конюшни, и Раф был лишен компании своего друга на всю ночь; но утром конюх обнаружил, что нижняя часть двери была так сильно выклевана, что, если бы ее не открыли, Раф через час проделал бы свой собственный вход. Затем я расспросил свою хозяйку (женщину разумную) и услышал подтверждение того, что я рассказал, вместе с несколькими другими необычными чертами доброты, которую эта птица проявляла ко всем собакам вообще, но особенно к искалеченным или раненым.

АЛМАЗЫ.

And the sparkling stars began to shine,

Like scatter’d gems in the diamond mine.

Алмаз в основном встречается в провинциях Голконда и Визиапур, а также в Бенгалии. Раолконда в Визиапуре и Гандикотта славятся своими рудниками, как и Кулур в Голконде. Алмаз обычно находят в узких расщелинах скал, в свободном состоянии, никогда не прикрепленным к твердому пласту. Шахтеры длинными железными прутьями, имеющими крючки на концах, вычищают содержимое трещин и промывают его в чанах, чтобы извлечь алмазы. В Кулуре они копают на большой равнине на глубину десяти или четырнадцати футов; занято сорок тысяч человек; мужчины копают, а женщины и дети носят землю в места, где она складывается до тех пор, пока не будет произведен поиск.

[241] Примечание к «Океанской пещере».

СТОИЧЕСКОЕ ОСТРОУМИЕ.

Зенон поймал своего раба на краже и приказал его выпороть. Раб, помня догматы своего господина и думая польстить ему, чтобы спастись от наказания, воскликнул: — «Было суждено, чтобы я совершил эту кражу». — «А также, чтобы ты был выпорот за это», — ответил Зенон.

КЕМБРИДЖСКОЕ ОСТРОУМИЕ.

Когда доктор Джеггон, впоследствии епископ Нориджский, был магистром Беннет-колледжа в Кембридже, он наказал всех студентов за какой-то общий проступок; и поскольку он презирал использование штрафных денег в личных целях, они были потрачены на побелку зала колледжа. Один студент повесил на ширму следующие стихи:—

“Dr. Jeggon, Bennet College master,

Broke the scholars’ heads, and gave the walls a plaster.”

Доктор, прочитав бумагу, экспромтом написал под ней:—

“Knew I but the wag that writ these verses in bravery,

I’d commend him for his wit, but whip him for his knavery.”

ИЗРЕЧЕНИЯ, достойные того, чтобы выучить их наизусть.

Поскольку вы не можете обогнать время, лучший способ — всегда быть на несколько минут впереди него.

Каким бы ни было ваше положение в жизни, составьте план действий на день. Получасы будут скользить плавно, не пересекаясь и не сталкиваясь друг с другом.

Когда вы беретесь за доброе дело, не останавливайтесь, пока не завершите его.

Утром думайте о том, что вам предстоит сделать за день, а вечером — о том, что вы сделали.

Религия — лучшая броня, но худший плащ.

Если вы намеренно скроете что-либо в суде, это будет лежать свинцом на вашей совести все дни вашей жизни.

Поступайте так, как хотите, чтобы поступали с вами. Следуйте этому правилу, и вам не потребуется сила, чтобы оставаться честным.
