The Last Lesson by Alphonse Daudet 

I started for school very late that morning and was in great dread of a scolding, especially because M. Hamel had said that he would question us on participles, and I did not know the first word about them. For a moment I thought of running away and spending the day out of doors. It was so warm, so bright! The birds were chirping at the edge of the woods; and in the open field back of the sawmill the Prussian soldiers were drilling. It was all much more tempting than the rule for participles, but I had the strength to resist, and hurried off to school.

When I passed the town hall there was a crowd in front of the bulletin-board. For the last two years all our bad news had come from there—the lost battles, the draft, the orders of the commanding officer—and I thought to myself, without stopping:

The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky by Stephen Crane

I.

   The great pullman was whirling onward with such dignity of motion that a glance from the window seemed simply to prove that the plains of Texas were pouring eastward. Vast flats of green grass, dull-hued spaces of mesquite and cactus, little groups of frame houses, woods of light and tender trees, all were sweeping into the east, sweeping over the horizon, a precipice.

   A newly married pair had boarded this coach at San Antonio. The man's face was reddened from many days in the wind and sun, and a direct result of his new black clothes was that his brick-colored hands were constantly performing in a most conscious fashion. From time to time he looked down respectfully at his attire. He sat with a hand on each knee, like a man waiting in a barber's shop. The glances he devoted to other passengers were furtive and shy.

   The bride was not pretty, nor was she very young. She wore a dress of blue cashmere, with small reservations of velvet here and there

A RESUMED IDENTITY

by Ambrose Bierce

1: The Review as a Form of Welcome

ONE summer night a man stood on a low hill overlooking a wide expanse of forest and field. By the full moon hanging low in the west he knew what he might not have known otherwise: that it was near the hour of dawn. A light mist lay along the earth, partly veiling the lower features of the landscape, but above it the taller trees showed in well- defined masses against a clear sky. Two or three farmhouses were visible through the haze, but in none of them, naturally, was a light.

Nowhere, in- deed, was any sign or suggestion of life except the barking

of a distant dog, which, repeated with mechanical iteration, served

rather to accentuate than dispel the loneliness of the scene.

   The man looked curiously about him on all sides, as one who among

familiar surroundings is unable to determine his exact place and part in

the scheme of things. It is so, perhaps, that we shall act when, risen

from the dead, we await the call to judgment.

 The Secret

Universal Mind Meditation

By : Kelly Howell

Product Description
The Secret Universal Mind Meditation imparts the sacred truth spiritual masters have taught for centuries. This truth is real and powerful. It starts by changing your belief system, slowly, subtly and gently while you sleep. As you are lulled into blissful slumber, secret messages are whispered into your ears--first audibly, and then just below the level of consciousness.

Over days and weeks to come, your conscious and your subconscious mind will accept the secret as true. Without knowing how or why, everything you need and desire will come to you through communing with the Universal Mind.

With this program you will overcome limiting, outmoded beliefs that have hindered your ability to create the life you've always wanted. While theta and delta waves gently lull you to sleep, your mind is re-programed with new knowledge and beliefs that unleash your power to create a new reality; a reality that fulfills your deepest needs and desires.

Through nightly listening, your subconscious will accept the information it receives as true. When this happens, what you need and desire comes to you. And there is nothing you need to do except relax and listen. If you fall asleep while listening, that's even better; the messages are still absorbed into your subconscious. The results are profound.

Murder at the Vicarage

By : Agatha Christie
Miss Marple Mysteries

Description:This is everything you read a mystery for; no one (with the exception of P.D. James) does a better job of taking you into the lives and minds of everyday people. The dead guy is just a stain on the carpet; the real story is how easy it is to come up with a motive for everybody if you put your mind to it. Thank goodness for Miss Marple! Otherwise, you just know that dim-witted police inspector would have the wrong person locked up. Anyone who listens to British audio has heard James Saxon, and it's always a pleasure to see his name on the box. His timing is perfection, his inflections lilting and charming.
