The Verb TO Break.

The following conversation, supposed
to be reported verbatim ct litsratim,
will give an idea how perplexing our
use of propositions with verbs is to for
eigners.
al begin to understand your language
better" said Frenchman to his friend /;
"but your verbs trouble me still, you
mix things up 80 with your propositions.
saw your friend Mrs. James, just now"
continued he "she says she intends to
break down housekeeping. Am right
there!"
::'Break up housekeeping, she must
have said"
eyes, / remsmber-break up house
keeping"
"Why does she do that?" inquired the
listener.
"Because her health is 90 broken into"
"Broken down-oh yes. And indeed,
since tho smallpox has broken up in
your city"
"Broken out, you mean"
"She thinks she will leave it for .
few weeks"
"Indeedl And will she close her
house?
"No; she is afraid it will be broken
broken-how do l say that?
"Broken into"
"Certainly it is what meant to say"
sis her son to be married soonw
"No, that engagement 10 broken
broken"
"Broken off,"
"Ah! had not heard that. She is
very sorry about that. Her son only
broke the news down to her last week.
Am l right am SO anxious to speak
English WELL"
"He merely broke the news; no prep
osition this time."
at is hard to understand. That
young man, her son, is fine fellow
breaker, l think"
"a broker, and very fine fellow.
Good-day."
So much for the verb to break.

DANGEROUS. That portion of the
wharf at the Custom House steps has be
come very unsafe in consequence of the
supports having been knocked away dur
ing the late gales. Several persons have
narrowly escaped having their legs broken
by stepping on the loose planks. This is
the very place where Fitzgerald, OF
Sequim, fell Off and broke his neck, ow-
ing to the fact that the railing had fallen
down. After his death the railing was re-
paired. We trust we shall not have to
wait till some one gets a leg broken be-
fore this dangerous portion of the wharf
Is made safe.
