parts.

Chains

Adjuncts.

Adjuncts of "hand."

Other examples, in which the Principal Parts are the same. Let the pupil place in diagrams, the following sentences: "He heard the king's command,

And saw that writing's truth."

"For misery stole me at my birth,

And cast me helpless on the wild."

"Then weave the chaplet of flowers and strew the beauties of nature about the grave."

"They fulfilled the great law of labor in the letter, but broke it in the spirit."

"That the page unfolds

And spreads us to the gaze of God and men." "Now twilight lets her curtain down,

And pins it with a star."

"He marks, and in heaven's register enrolls,

The rise AND progress of each option there."

REMARK. The last example differs from the others. Let the pupil tell

wherein.

NOTE. If I say-" Temperance promotes health and frugality secures happiness," I make two distinct sentences-each " simple.' But the "and" may be taken from between "temperance" and "frugality," and placed between "health" and " happiness," and it remains a compound sentence. It will then read thus-" Temperance promotes, and frugality secures, health and happiness;"-and is thus construed:

Temperance-Subject of "promotes."
Promotes-Predicate of " temperance."
Frugality-Subject of "secures."
Secures Predicate of "frugality."

Health

[and] Happiness

Objects of "secures" and "promotes."

"There youth and beauty tread the choral ring, And shout their raptures to the cloudless skies." "Prayer only, and the penitential tear,

Can call her smiling down and fix her here."-Cowper.

NOTE TO THE TEACHER.-The Author suggests that the Teacher give to each Pupil, a sentence to be placed in Diagram, and presented for inspection and criticism, at a subsequent recitation. It is believed that this practice, repeated every day, will be an agreeable and profitable exercise.
