AN rssAY ON CORRECT GRAMMAR.

The editor Of the Hoosick Falls Stan
dayd gives the following short essay on
correct grammar, which is very good; we
may say it is indeed excellent. The logic
which he uses to elncidate his theory Of
syGtax is somewhat governed by Rule /.
1t is naughty but iI's nice. Taken as
whole, however, we agree with brother
Livingstone, and hope he will press the
subject closer:
"a searcher after truth writes to ask US
which is grammatieslly correct, to say
the house is building, or the house is
being built, the street Is paving, or the
street is being paved? There is a wide
diversity of opinion on this subject; but
we incline to favor is being built, for
these reasons: Suppose you wish TO ex-
press another kind of an idea, would you
say, for instance, Johnny is spanking or
Johny is being spanked. The difference
to you may seem immaterisl, but il Is q
matter Of Importance 10 John; aud II 10
probable that If any choice were given
him, be would suddenly select the former
alternative. You may say again, the mis-
sionary is eating. Certainly this expresses
a very different and much peasanter idea
than the missionary Is being eaten, and
the sensation Is very different for the
missionary, too. We have consulted with
several missionaries about L., and they
all seem 70 think that the two things are
somehow not the same, no matter what
grammariaps may say. But IL IL 10 be

A boy borrowed a tool from a carpen-
ter, promising TO return II at night,
Before evening he was sent away on an
errand, aud did not return until late,
Before he went he was told that his broth
er should see the article returned,
After he had como home and gone 10
bed, he inquired, and found that the tool
had not been sent TO its owner. He was
much distressed to think his promise bad
not been kept, but was persuaded TO 70
to sleep, and rise early and carry II home
the next morning.
BY daylight he was up, and nowhere
was the tool TO be found. After a long
and fruitless search, he set of for his
neighbours In great distress, to acknowl-
edge his fault. But how great was his
surprise to find the tool on his neighbours
door-stonel And then il appeared from
the prints Of his little bare feet IN the
mud, that the lad had got mp in his sleep
and carried the tool home, and gone to
bed again, without'knowing 1t.
OF course boy who was prompt in his
sleep was prompt when awskcs He
lived respected, had the confidence Of his
neighbor's, and was placed in many offices
of trust and profit.
If all grown folks felt as this boy did,
there would be a good many tracks OF
bare feet found some of these bright morn
ings; and what piles Of tools and books
woud be found at the owners doors!

The first thousand dollars a young man,
after going ont into the world TO act for
himself, earns and saves will generally
settle the question of business life with
him. There may be exceptions ts this

The first condition is that the yeung

aud his labor for it. While be ia thus

or three, or perhaps four times as much

consequently held sternly to the task OF
industry for a considerable period. The
direct consequence to him is steady, con-
liuuous and solid discipline in the habits
Of iudustry-iu patient, persistant, FORE
casting and self denying effort breaking
up all tendencies to Incidence and friyol-
ity, and making him an earnest and
watchful economist Of time. He not only
learns how 10 work, bat be also acquires
the love Of work: aud, moreover, he
learns the value Of the sum which he has
thus saved out Of his earnings. he has
tUiled for If; be has observed its slow In
increase from time to time; and in HE es-
timate it represents so many months or
years OF practical labor. His ideas Of life
are shaped by its own experience. These
