GRAMMAR IN RHYNE.-We advise every lit
tie grammarian just entering ON Murray
Brown, or any of the thousand grammars il
use, to commit to memory the following easy
lines, and then they never need to mistake q
part Of speech:
/. Three little words you often see
Are articles-d, dR and the.
2. A Nouns the name of any thing,
As school or garden, hoop or swing.
8. Adjectives tell the kind of Noun,
As great, small, schite or 6rown.
4. Instead of Nouns the pronouns stand
Her head, has face, your arm, my hand.
8. Verbs tell something being done
To read, count, sing, jump or run.
6. How things are done the Adverbs tell
As slOtciH quickly, III or wcH.
Z. Conjunctons join the words together
As men and women, wind or weather.
8. The proposition stands before
A Noun, as im or through door.
0. The Interjection shows surprise,
AS oh how pretty; ali how wise.
The whole are called Nine Parts of Speech,
Which Reading, Writing, Speaking teach.
