Learning Grammar.

Mr.. Ep1roR.-I have been sending my
dater Nancy to aschoolmaster in the neigh
borhood. Last Friday | went over to the
school Just TO see how Nancy was getting
along, and | sees things didn't like by no
means. The schoo!masler was larnin her
things entirely out Of the eddycation, and
as think improper. set a while in the
schoolhouse and heard one class say their
lesson. They were spelin quite exceed
ingly. Then cum Nancy's turn to try her
lesson. She said livery spry. was shot!
and determined she should leave that
school, have heerd that grammar was
an uncommon fine study, but | don't want
emmy more grammar about my house.
The lesson that Nancy said was nothing
but the toolishest kind Wv talk; the redici-
lousest luv talk yew ever seed. She got
up and the fust word she sed was,
l looked rite at her hard fur DUN so on
proper, but she went on and sed:
Thou lowest,
He loves,
and l reckon yew never heed SIGH rigger-
myrole in yure life-love, love, love and
nothing but love. She sed one time,
did love.
So Sez l, "who did you love7" Then the
scholars lated, but wasn't to be put off
and | sed "who did yew lovel'' The
schoolmaster, Mr.. McQuillister, put in and
sed he would explain when Nancy finished
the lesson. This sorter pacihed me and
Nancy went on with ortul Iuv talk. 1t got
wus und wus every word. She sed,
might, could or would love.
l stopped her and sed | reckoni would
see about taat, and told her to walk out of
that house. The schoolmasteT tried TO in
terfore, but would mt let him say word.
He sed was fool and noct him down
and made him boiler in short order. J
