The Grammar Class Recites Again.
A NEW PUPIL TO-DAY.

If your grammar school is not full,
You may add me TO your roll of pupils
ApropOs of the erroneous use of will
and "shall," as TO which you have had
some discussion, it is stated by Macaulay
in his essay on Basil Montagu's edition
of Lord BacOn'S works and upon the life
of Bacon which was published as an
adjunct Of that edition, that 'No one
LondOner in ten thousand can lay down
the rules for the proper use of will
and shall yet not one Londoner in a
million ever misplaceS his will and
shall" Though from this statement it
would seem that Macaulay thought it
extremely easy in practice for Lon
doner to discriminate properly between
will and ''shall, yet Macaulay,
though himself a LondOner, was not al
ways able to do so, for in the second
sentence of the very essay in which he
made the above quoted statements to
the extreme rarity of a LondOner who
could not properly discriminate between
will and shall, ~ he enormously used
''will'' instead of ''shall' as follows:
1--WE have much TO say on the subject of
this life, and will often find ourselves
obliged to dissent from the opinions of
the biographer." The preface to the
Bible as Newly Edited by the American
Revision Committee A. ID. 1901 says
that in the Authorized Version of the
Scriptures ''wilr' and ''shall" are "often
very inconsistency used, as may be
observed in such a striking case as PS.
cxxi., 3, T." In the American Revision
Comuittaa'S edition Of tho Rihla tha ex
preston ''shall neither slumber nor
sleep in the Psalms verse just cited is
accordingly changed TO twill neither
slumber nor sleep" The expression 81
will dwell rs given in the Authorized
Version of the sixth verse of the 23d
chapter of Psalms is changed to IL shall
dwell in the American Revision Com
mittee's version of the verse. The err
roneOuS use of "will'' and "shalp' was
well exemplified by the drowning mans
despairing cry, II will drown; nobody
shall help me" SCRUTATOR.

was good trial justice, now gone to a
higher jurisdiction, who was hearing a
case on liquor libel. The good citizen

appeared before the justice and claimed
the liquor and denied its being intended
for other than his own personal use.

ing weighty language: "You may swear
the liquors yours and you want it for
your own use, but l swear you won't get
it'll" Sample of Somerset justice of a

Editor Democrat:
May | add a few words more on the
subject of would" and should as it
seems that my former explanation was
not clear. According TO Webster'S
dictionary the verb will means to be
pleased, to choose, (among other mean
ings.) Like" also means TO be pleased,
TO choose. Would" is the imperfect
tense of will" To say II will be pleas
ed or IL would like" is Pathological;
it expresses the same idea twice. II
shall be pleased" or "should like" are
the proper expressions. Should goes
with shall, and would with will. We
may say, ~ would go if could but 81
would like to 60 if could is equivalent
TO saying IL would would if | cOuld,"
since would and like" have the same
meaning. Yours truly,

wreaths, send innumerable banners.
These are made of white silk, with In.

velvet, and express the senders good
wishes to the deceased himself or to
members of his family for many gen.
erations. On the day Of the funeral
these banners are carried by hired
men, who are all dressed alike for the
occasion. After the funeral, which
lasts several hours at the cemetery, Is
over, the banners are all brought back,
