All the parts of a sentence should correspond with each other, and a regular, dependent construction should be preserved throughout the sentence. He is more beloved but not so much admired as his brother. This sentence is faulty, for the words more and so much have not the same construction, nor are they under the same regimen, more requires than after it as a corresponding compensive. Thus: He is more beloved than his brother, but not so much admired. This dedication may serve for almost any book that has, is, or shall be published. Several alterations and additions have been made to the work. He is more hold and active, but not so wise and prudent as his companion. The multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace. The reward is his due, and it has already or will be here after given to him, Sincerity is as valuable, and even more valuable than knowledge. NOTE. This Rule is in part a recapitulation of all the foregoing rules. It appears also to be well calculated to ascertain the true grammatical construction of many modes of expression which no one of the other rules seems to reach," The pupil will do well to make it a subject of careful attention.

I will not have it stopp'd`. Keep. My lord', the winter now creeps on apace'; Hoar frost', this morning', on our shelter'd fields', Lay thick, and glanc'd to the up-risen sun', Which scarce had power to melt it`. Ed. Glanc'd to the up-risen sun'! Ay, such fair morns every bush doth put its glory on', When Like a gemm'd bride! Your rusticks now And early hinds', will set their clouted feet Through silver webs', so bright and finely wrought As royal dames ne'er fashioned', yet plod on Their careless way, unheeding. Alas! how many glorious things there are To look upon! Wear not the forests now Keep. Yes; good my lord'; the cold chill year advances; Therefore', I pray thee', let me close that wall`. Ed.

The sum of all the shares, of gain or loss, will equal the whole gain or loss. 120+480+200=800 Proof. (2) D, E, and F, trade in company; D put in $140, E $300 and F $160. They gain $120; what is each partner's share? Ans. D's $28; E's $60; and F's $32. ‹ (3) B died worth $1800; but he owed A $1200;, B $500, and C $700,-what will each share of his estate? Ans. A $900; B 375; C 525. GRAMMAR.--LESSON. 4. Remarks on the application of the rules of grammar, to the purposes of speaking and writing. 1 The object of studying grammar, is to become acquainted with the idiom and principles of the language, and to apply them correctly to the practical purposes of writing and conversation. To accomplish this important object, requires some careful study and patient practice. 2 It is no idle thing to become a scholar;-nor is it any very difficult thing. Every child, of common capacity and ordinary health, may become so much of one, as to be able to write and speak his native language correctly, and to conduct the usual business of life with accuracy and respectability. But knowledge must be sought; were it to grow to the |
