(6) What is the difference between the Int. of $2260, and the discount on the same, for 5 years, at 6 per cent. a year? Ans. $156.46. FALSE SYNTAX.-LESSON 12.. RULE 20. Intransitive and neutre verbs may have the same case after them, as that which comes before them. As Mary is the girl who studies hard. It was him who brought the news.-This sentence is improper:---for, him, is a pronoun in the objective form, after the neutre verb, was, and in apposition to it, which is the subject of the verb, in violation of the 20th rule;-therefore him should be he. Thus:-It was he who brought the news. Well may you fear, it was him who calls you. Search the scriptures, for they are them which testify of me. Be comforted, it is me that calls. He resembles my friend and I took it to be he. It could not be her for she was abroad. OBS. When the past participle which implies naming, is used after the neutre verb, the same case may follow that preceded the verb. Thus: He was named John. She was called Mary the pious. The publication was styled the song book for many years. She was christened Mary at St. Paul's. The man was denied a vote. The lords were refused a seat and denied a voice. pre-cep-tive prě-sep ́tiv in-tes-tine in-tĕs'tin pre-sen-sion in-trench-ment in-trensh'měnt pre-serv-er prē-zĕrv'ur in-vec-tive in-věk❜tiv pre-ten-sion pre-sen'shun prē-těn'shun in-ven-tion in-ven'shun pre-ven-tion pré-věn'shun pre-ven-tive prē-věn ́tiv li-sěn shus pro-fes-sion pro-fesh'shun pro-fes-sor pro-fés sur pro-gres-sion prō-gresh'shun pro-gres-sive pro-gres'siv pro-phet-ic of-fen-sive öf-fen'siv pro-spec-tive op-pres-sion op-presh'shun pro-tec-tion op-pres-sor op-pressur pro-tec-tor pa-thet-ic pă-t'het'tik pru-den-tials per-cep-tion pĕr-sep'shun pru-nel-lo prō-jěk'shun prō-jěk'tur prō-jěk ́tshūre prō-fēt tik prō-spektiv prō-těk'shun prō-těk'tür prô-den'shǎlz prô-nel lõ pu-trĕs'sense kwi ĕs'sĕnt per-cep-tive pĕr-sep-tiv pu-tres-ance per-fec-tion per-fek'shun qui-es-cent per-spec-tive per-spektiv quin-tes-sence kwin-tes sense per-verse-ness per-verse'něs re-bell-ion rē-běl'yun per-ver-sion pĕr-ver'shun pi-men-ta pē-men'tă po-lem-ic pō-lem'mik por-ten-sion por-ten-tous re-cep-tion re-sĕp'shun re-demp-tion re-dem'shun re-flec-tion rē-flěk'shun pōr-ten'shun re-flec-tive rë-flěk'tiy RELIGION CONCLUDED.--LESSON 14. 5. It matters not, christian, what your prospects now are', nor what condition now is`. In this world', your your heart may indeed sob' and bleed; and you may not find the man possessed of generosity to relieve', or humanity to pity`;-but in that pure world to which you pass', your felicity will be complete', and your allotment', unalterable. In that world', you will have the friendship and favour of the compassionate King of Heaven. 6. Look but a little beyond this mysterious and perplexing scene which veils your view of futurity,' and behold a bow stamped in the darkest clould that lowers in the face of heaven; see the sable nvelope brighten as you approach the confines of time! Does not yon blessed opening', which overlooks the black dominion of the grave', more than compensate you for all the trials which chequer your progress thither"? 7. Behold the long lost friend', who still lives in your memory`;--whose presence gave you more pleasure than all that life could afford', and whose absence has cost you more groans and tears than all that death could take away. He becons you to him! that where he is', you may be also. Here' he tells you', reigns unmingled delight',-unpolluted joys',-exhaustless love, immortal, unbounded', and unmolested. friendship'. 8. All the sorrows', and imperfections of mortality', are to me as though they had never been`; and nothing lives here', but pure devotion. My heart', swelling with rapture', ceases to mourn';-my bosom', burning with gratitude', forgets to sigh`;-my eyes', beaming with celestial visions,' know not how to weep', and my head, bearing a crown of glory', adorned with palms of victory', has lost the power to ache`. 3 9. I am just as safe as infinite power; just as joyful as infinite fullness', and just as happy as infinite goodness', can possibly make me. My voice', no longer breathing the plaintive strains of disappointment and despair', is sweetly attuned to hymns of thanksgiving & praise', and mingles with the high host of heaven in the glorious anthem of redeeming love. NOTE. BARTER. LESSON 15. Barter is the exchange of one portion of proporty for another, on terms rendered equitable by apportioning their respective qualities and value. RULE 1. Find the value of the property designd for exchange at the proposed price. 2. Say, as the price of an unit of the property received, is to the whole quantity received; so is the value of the property exchange, to the answer required. Thus: (1) A has tea at $1.30 a lb. B has rice at 4 1-2 cts. a lb. how many lbs. of tea will purchase 2500 lbs of rice? 2500X.045 $112.500 value of the rice. Then, as $1.30: 112.500 :: 1: 86 1-2 Ans. for, 112.500 X 11.30 86 plus 70×16÷1.30=8 oz. and a fraction over. (2) B. has 108 lbs of tea at $1.25 a lb, and A pays him in sugar for the whole at S 3-4 cents a ib; how much sugar does B get? Ans. 1542 lb.13 oz. (3) How much corn at 45 cts a bu. equals in value 357 bu. of wheat at 93 cts. a bu.? Ans. 737 3-4 bu. NOTE 1. Barter is an important and useful rule, and well worth the attention of the scholar. Many of the common business transactions of life may be referred to it; hence, to become expert in its management, will secure advantages which the idle and ignorant must be contented to live without. NOTE 2. There are a variety of ways to state questions in this rule, but the one given above is perhaps more concise than any other of a gen eral application. G FALSE SYNTAX.-LESSON 16. RULE 21. The infinitive mood, or a part of a sentence, may be made the subject of a verb. As, to be idle, is sinful. To live piously, it is required of all men. This sentence is faulty, because, the verb, to live piously, and the pronoun, it, cannot both be made the subject of the verb, is, hence, one is a redundancy, and should be expunged. Thus:To live piously, is required of all men. To do unto all men as we like that all men should do unto us, it is the great moral rule of life. The erroneous opinion which we form of the world, it gives birth to our troubles. Religion, vital religion, the religion of the heart, they are a powertul aid in making war with the passions. OBS. 1. When several members, joined by a copulative conjunction, expressed or implied, are made the subject, then the verb must agree with them in the plural number. To be humble, to be charitable, to be of a pure mind, and to cultivate peace, is the best means of being useful and happy. OBS. 2. When the parts in connexion form but one subject, implying singularity of idea, then the verb must follow in the singular number. The possession of our limbs intire, our senses uninjured, and our understanding unimpaired, are blessings often overlooked by us, which to thousands would be the first wish. re-mem-brancerē-mem'brănse suc-cess-ful suk-cěs'fûl suk-sĕsh'shun suk-sés sur suf-fish'ĕnt re-sem-blance re-zem'blănse sup-pres-sion sup-presh'shun re-sent-ment re-zěnt'ment sur-ren-der sur-rĕn'dur sus-pen'shun re-ten-tion rē-těn ́shun tor-ment-or tòr-mĕn'tur re-ten-tive ré'tén'tív tran-scen-dence tran-sen'dense re-trench-ment rẽ-trěnshment tan-scen-dent trăn-sěnděnt re-veng-ful rē-věnj'fûl re-ver-sion se-ces-sion ré-věr shun trans-gres-sion trans gresh'shun trans-gres-sor trans-gres'sur se-sĕsh'shun tre-men-dous trē-měn ́dus 1.
