Grammar! “There is magic in the sound J” How it summous before us the old school-room with its lines of benches and desks, and the rows of ju venile beads above them; the black board, white with its serried columns of “sums” and “divisions” in echalon; the desk, rough in its veteran scars, where we tested our newly bought blades and tried our earliest skill in carving ; the little globe in the corner, which squeaked as we turned it on its axis; the fat boy in the spelling-class who always settled gradually to the foot by the law of gravitation; the big girls across the broad aisle, whose eyes laughed back to us while their lips pouted, aud whose cherished uauies aud sunny faces we have strung among the brightest gems in memory’s oft-counted rosary; the “parsing class” after school; the elect few iD grammar—the elite of the grown-up boys, ami the creme de la creme of bloomiug girlhood when the master relaxed his stern features and “laid his terrors by;” when the saucy eyes across the broad aisle turned soft aud languid under a noarer view, and the Routing lips smoothed, Jqpru, tq mpl low smiles; where we sat and “parsed” the time aWay, while the low sun shoue in with slanting beams, touched with still brighter luster a brace of golden heads and painted the lengthening win dow in checkered squares of light upon the floor. Such are a few of the bright spots that glow upon memory’s canvas as our school-day scroll unfolds under the wand of Grammar. This was the “First the ' ! Large Grammar”—the plant whose rudiments grew up from the lower ground in the “Primary Grammar.” My earliest recollections arc of a small book, about seven by five, sewed in a calico cover, pretty well thumbed and dog-eared within, with “Robbie St. Clair” in every variety of ponmku* ship all over the fly-leaves, and full of “man, man's, men;" “him, her , it" “ I love, you love, we love," aud such things. I remember one place where “ Wo might, could, would or should ?’ —do something was repeated so many times that we often wondered why we never did it. I remember there were three dis tinguished “persoDs” in the book, and it was very gratifying to kuow that “I” was always the “first” one of them. We could not help suspecting the gram marians of a little egotism here. Then there were “verbs,” which told what things did; as “ Johu whipped William.” It always appeared to ub that William was the verb here, under the definition, as he generally told what John had done. Some of theso verbs were “regular” in all their moods or manners while others were subject to “irregularities” iu theso respects. We were taught that the verb “ whipped” above was a regular verb, and our expe rience testified that it became a pretty regular thing in our class. There were “pronouns” also, some of them “personal” enough to point a con gressional debate, aud although I was “SALUS POPULI SUPBBMA X.E3C EBTO.” far away from homo and a stranger in a strange land when I first met these pronouns, I was glad to find some rela tives among them. There were “ nouns” done up in “cases;” some of them we liked well enough, and others we “declined.” Then there were “ adjectives” ns, “ a good boy” (there have always been good boys in adjectives, I believe) and “ ad verbs as, “ John learns rapidly.” Here we couldn’t sec the point as we all knew that John wore tho dunce-cap regularly four days iu the week. There were “ moods” too of various kinds, and our master used to get into some rather unpleasant ones sometimes, at which times he generally put our several “persons” through the “ passive voice” with his ferule, and wc used to pay him back by qualifying him sundry select adjectives in tho “ superlative degree.” The “first part,” I remember, ended with “conjunctions” and “interjections.” We found the list of interjections very useful as so many safety-valves to keep us from bursting when we got a whip ping. We learned many of them under these circumstances, and I am afraid we occasionally threw in sojee rather rough ones which were not in the book. After these camo “Orthography,” which made us think of the “ spelling class, “where wo pretty generally stood at one end—we won’t be positive now which. And then enme “ Etymology,” which made us think of the “ big dic tionary,” and “ Syntax,” which wo thought it a sin to tar us with. There were “adjuncts” also. I shall never forget these. Tha master on one occasion required us all to pre sent original examples of adjuncts; and Tom Hadley, who was of a very practi cal turn, as the best he could do in that line, brought in a cat with an old tin-pan adjoiued to her tail. I tell you, the master weut into the “imper ative mood” instariter; lie “ conjugated” Tom to the whipping post and applied the switch in a very “ active transitive” manner. Tom came out in the “objective case” after a “ transitive verb,” the switen ended in a list of “ disjunctive conjunctions,” while the master stood iu the “ nominative case absolute.” Tom now went in loud upon the list of “ interjections,” in which the cat joined them, throwing in several shrill “auxiliaries.” On the way home Tom applied some not very logical predicates’ to the master; threatened to put bis visual or gans into the “ singular number;” to change his nose, which was a very “demonstrative pronoun,” into an “ in definite article;” and to punctuate his “ persoo” into “periods,” **■ clauses,” and “ phrases,” according to the most approved rules of “ Prosody.” The girls upon the row of back scats used to conjugate “I love, we love, she loves,” in the most agreeable of moods” and the sweetest of “voices.” There was one big hoy who was just dying to be put in the “objective case,” to these verbs, but the girls didn’t put him in. Some time afterward, I believe, when he ventured to put an “ inter rogative” to one of them upon the sub ject, her “relatives” interfered, and the lady, having looked up his “ ante cedents,” put him off into the “second future tense,” and finally “ declined’’ him in the “ emphatic form,” of the ‘‘indicative mood.” Having fai'ed to become the “ possessive case” in this “proposition,” the big boy immediately placed himself in “ corresponding con junction” with a fair “substantive” who happened to be put by “ apposition” with him at an evening party. Whenever the lady appeared there after he always attended her as an “adjuuct,” and finally by the aid of a qualified “copulative” they wero “ con jugated” and became a compound sub ject of a very long and prosy “sentence” II S3 a year, in advance. modified here and there by various lit tle “personal pronouns” in tbo “ plural number.” Our school-boy days bare loug since glided into the " past tense,” our “ mood” has settled into a mild “ sub junctive;” and wc liavo become rather an “ imperfect participle” in the “ ac tive voice of life. When we reflect what we “might, could, and would or should” bare done when young and strong in our “potential mood” our “in terjections” flow forth afresh, and we weep to think that our days of gram mar like all sublunary things are “pars ing away.”— JTome and School. WHAT TO KEAI>. I believe very thoroughly in courses of reading, because I believe in having one book lead to another. But, after the beginning, these courses for differ ent persons will vary much from each other. There are but few books which it is necessary for every intelligent boy and girl, man and woman to have read. First is tbe Bibte, of which not only is an intelligent knowledge necessary for your healthy growth in religious life but —which is of less consequence, indeed —it is necessary for your tolerable un derstanding of the literature, or even science, of the world which for eighteen centuries has been under the influence of the Bible. Around the English ver sion of it, as Mr. Marsh shows so well, the English language cf the last three centuries has revolved, as the earth re volves around the sun. Second, every one ought to be quite well informed as to the history of the country iu which he lives. All of you should know the general history of the United States well. You should know the history of your own State in the most detail of all. Third, an American needs to have a clear knowledge of the general fea lures of the history of England. Fourth, it is necessary that every intelligent American or Englishman should have read carefully most of Shakespeare’s plays. Lastly, it is a disgrace to read even the newspaper, without ktowifrg where tho places are that are spoken of. You need therefore, the very best atlas you can provide yourself with. Re member that what yon want from books is the information in them, and the stimulus they give you, and tho amuse ment for your recreation. You do not read for the pool pleasure of saying von have rpnd thpin. ’ hrH mtn v *■ tr card- A couple of romances are quoted in New York as a relief to the bloodshed, swindling aud multifarious exhibit j?™* of human depravity which constitute the rule for Gotham news. The first is the story of a man who bus comq from Greene county, Wisconsin, and is on his way to Loudon. His name is Joseph Langham ltrown, and he claims to be the rightful heir to the title .of the Marquis of Langham. He came away, from home forty years ago, and has delved in the mines aud the soil ever since, af last marrying and settling iu anew State. His education is of the best, and his gentlo roycaf? itself in spite of the horny hands and coarse clothes. By the recent death of his father he becomes heir to an es tate of $15,000,000, whieh he is going on to sec about. The other romance is of a sadder kind. Some dozen years ago ten gentlemen hoarding at the same place on Great Jones street, formed a circle of fast friends. The war broke up the set, but before parting they had a 6uppcr on the 10th of September, 1862, vowing to meet at the same lime and place as many as remained in 1872. Accordingly, Edward K. Winship, a broker, on Monday ordered a banquet prepared, and as the hour came round he alone sat dowu to the courses. All the rest were dead; most of them in the army, but a few had died in the walks of peace, and he aloue in a mourn ing feast thought in sorrow of what ten vears had wrought.

A Man to be Tried for SnooTtito Himself. —There is a charge of murder pending in the London courts against & man for permitting himself to be shot. The circumstances of the case are ex traordinary in all respects. Two young German geutlemcn of respectable family visited London, aud in four daya man aged to expend the sum of $2,000 in pleasure. At the end of that time, having exhausted their money, they came to the conclusion that there vu nothing left to them worth living for aud agreed to die together. A few lines of farewell were writteu to some girls who had assisted in their revelries after which they locked their door and stripped themselves for death. One of the young men, named Paul May, stood up and the other shot him through the breast. As May fell to the floor, his companion finished his work by shoot ing himself through the heart. It so happened that May was not mortally wounded, but is in a fair way of recov ery, and when he is convalescent, be ie to be taken before the authorities to his trial for wilfully murdering the com panion who shot him, in accordance with the verdict rendered by the Coro ner’s jury, which investigated his ease, as in England, where two persons mu tually agree to commit suicide together and only one person dieß, the survivor is bold guilty of the murdor of the one who died. Some of the greatest Eng lish Judges have ruled that such is tbe law. The last trial of this kind occurr ed in the old Bailey, in 1888, when Ben jamin Allison was indicted for tbe wil ful murder of Ellen Cripps, a woman with whom he bad been living. The two had agreed to commit suicide to gether, aud drank three parts of a cup of laudanum each. The large quanti ty produced vomiting in the man and he survived. These facts were proven on the trial, and the man was convicted of murdering the woman, and sentenced to death.* 11 rj • • Horrible Scene Burning or Hearts in Connecticut Absurd and Brutal Superstition. —The vil lage of Peaccdale was thrown into ex citement on Thursday last, by the re port that two graves had been dug up near Watson’s Corner, ou the shore of the Saugntuck river. The family of Mr. William Hose, who reside at Sauuderstown, near the South Ferry, are subject to consumption, several of tbe family having died of tbe disease, and one member of the family is now quite low with it. At the urgent re quest of the sick man, the father aaslst ed by Charles Harrington, of North Kingston, repaired to the burying ground, located one mile north of Peaoedale, and, after building a fire first dug up the grave of his son, who had been buried twelve years, for the purpose of taking out his heart and liv er, which were to be placed in the fire and consumed, in order to carry out the old superstitution that the con sumptive dead draw nourishment from the living. But aB the body was en tirely reduced to ashes, except a few bones, it was shortly covered up, and the body of a daughter who had been dead seven years was taken out of the grwre beside her brother. This body was found to be nearly wasted away, except the liver and heart, which were in a perfect state of preservation. The coffin was nearly perfect, while the son’s coffin was nearly demolished. After the heart and liver had been taken out it was placed in the fire and consumed, the ashes being only put back in tho grave. The fire was then put out, and the two men departed t° their respec tive homes. Only a few spectators were present to witness the horrible crime. It seems that this is not the first time that graves have been dug up where consumption was prevalent in 1 the family, and tho buried. parts burn ed in order to save the living. A few years ago the same was done ra the vil lage of Moorsfield, and also in the town of North Kingston, both of course with out effect. —Providence Herald, sth iiut.
