American Speakers and
80 the Grammar.

When Mr.. Willard Fillmore
died the otiIer day, most Of the
notices. which his death occ2-
stoned mentioned the fact that
his early education was neglec-
ted. and that at the time whei,
he began the study Of the law,
at the age of nineteen, he ha'l'
never seen a grammar or geog-
raphy. Yet Mr.. Fillmore, botIi
in writing and speech, used the
English language with aboat.
the usual propriety;; and,
like most of our respectable
public men, he never lapsed IN
to any very glaring solecisms-
OF his geography we are not SO
certain, but his knowledge was
probably sufficient for all or
dinary emergencies. 1t IS the
accuracy with which so many
of our halEeducated or self-e1-
ucated men write and speak
English which is surprising;
and there is nothing like 1t, we
suspect anywhere else IN the
world. Yet this faculty does
not como from the study OF
grammar. There are not ten
men in the House Of Repre-
scntatives who could parse ten
lines of Milton according to the
rules of Lindley Murray; yet
these gentlemen are never gull
ty of two negatives employed to
strengthen the negation, even
when they are denying charges
of fraud or corruption. The
Vice President who was, when
a boy, a shoemakers aPpren-
tice. denied that he had ever
been Know Nothing in res
pectablc English. These are
facts which may well lead US to
revise our notions of the neces-
sity of studying grammar as IL
is usually taught in our schools
Our American accuracy docs
not come of early drilling. 1t
is TO be attributed to the gcner-
al habit 'of reading. 1t is IN
this way that the majority be
comes tolerable grammarlans by
rote, and speak correctly sim
PLY because they speak at all
I The verbs are made 20 agree
with their nominatiye cases IL
Is,inctiyeIy and as a matter OF
good breeding. Small mistakes
arn ma,le, but they are by the
best writers; but nobody no.
tees them except professional
teachers, who, in their tern,
make Just as many.

A Dangerous Game.

drop the handkerchief is a
dangerous game. Desdemona
dropped her handkerchief and it
cost her her life. Handkerchieis
have played IA great deal of mis-
chief. A handkerchief ruptured
a Baptist church down east-in
Dedham, Mass. There was a
church sosiable in the chapel, and
they played plays" and Drop
the handkerchief " was one of the
plays. We don't remember just
how its done, but they stand IN a
circle, promiscuous, and II lady,
taking IL handkerchief. walks a
round ON the outside OF the circle
and drops the handkerchief behind
one Of the male persuasion and he
runs after her, or he don't--we
forget which-but any way II he
catches her, or if be don't--We for
get wfith--he can kiss her.
Thele is kissing about it any way,
whether he catches her or not, Tor
drop the handkcrci ief" would be
no play with kissing left out
And drop the handkerchief > is a
real play, aud when grown df
people play, kissing is the main
part. So we know there is kiss
Ing in it, auf. the account Of this
DedhaD alfair says "ihe game in
voiyea kissing" to which the Rev
NJ Foster, pastor, took eXcep,

loud that the church was built

in the business of clearing
churches for debt on dedication
days. lie prepares the church
in which he is TO operate, as a
General prepares his army for 3
battle. Every point is arranged
with the skill Of an artist. The

ready. he coolly clears the deck
for action; he sings, prays and
tells stories, keeping the con-
crcgation entertained for two
whole hours while the -ubscrip-
tions are going on. In this way
he has cleared seven hundred
churches from debt, among the
most successful of which was
the Brooklyn Tabernacle. over
which hung a debt Of S35,OO,
and where. under his strategy
the debt was entirely wiped out
on the morning Of. the dedica-
ton.

from the people by band OF
infamous carpet-baggers from

rascallyInegroes, and the two
have been backed and sustained
