Lend no cause alarm from the present election from
the fact that the lines too closely drawn between the
Democratic and Republican parties. But with an issue
between soft money the one side and public faith on
the Other there could be doubt that the sOts in SOW

K "As teacher am Jealous Of my boys being taught
10 enjoy speaking evil OF digntes" This expression is
In literary point Of view snguary replete with awk
wardneas and error InOtce 1t because thOueh short
1t abounds In examples Of of those peculiar and
faulty constructions of the English particpe to the
of which many wrors addicted. 1t is impossible to

excites the jealousy of j. f. K 1t is uncertain whether
bis boys enjoyment s In bis fcar likely to consist In
speaking ev Of dlgnes, in hearing Others speak IT.
And even If this point setted the grounds of his
jealousy are not deducibe from what he says- indeed
he SAYS anything. The right use Of the English par
tiope and OF the particpal often requires little
thought and usually implies better knowledge OF these
parts OF speech than the generality Of noInnaly good
writers seem to possess Grammatical errors OF various
kinds are TOO abundant ia the productions Of many
