FALSE SYNTAX.-LESSON 44.

RULE 10. The pronoun in the possessive case, is governed by the thing possessed, either expressed or implied; as, one's friends seldom interfere.

One should know ones own mind. This senteuce is faulty, because the pronoun, ones, implies possession, and is governed by the noun mind, yet it has no sign of the possessive case, in violation of Rule 10th, therefore, the s should be set off by an apostrophe. Thus:--One should know one's own mind.

One is apt to love one's self. This man's boy heard the report, but anothers brought the news. One does not like

to have ones hand tied, nor ones heart broke.

OBS. One and other or another, are the only possessive pronouns that require the sign of the apostrophe with the s. All the others, however, are subject to the same government.

We have done their work, but we cannot do the others work, nor anothers work. Ones own work might suffice.

Application of the inflections to select sentences.

There is nothing honourable', but what is innocent`; and nothing mean,' but that which attaches guilt`.

How cheap', and easy', is the service of virtue'! and how dear and difficult', are the wages of vice!

The temperate man's pleasures are durable', because they are regular'; and his life is calm and serene', because it is innocent.

Not to return one good deed for another', is extremely ungenerous'; but to return evil' for good', is worse than barbarous'.

When candid expressions of gratitude' drop from the lips of a poor man', they are pledges of what his generosity would be were he a rich man'.

As, among wise men', he is wisest who feels that he knows the least', so', among fools', he is the greatest who thinks he knows most'.

Virtue is the friend of life'; the soul of health'; the poor man's comfort, and the rich man's wealth`.

Fancy generally paints pleasures at a distance in beautiful colours; but possession as generally robs them of their gloss. That friendship which makes the least noise', is usually the most useful; and a prudent friend', is generally more serviceable than a zealous one'.

It is imprudent to expect too much happiness in this life', for no station is exempt from trouble'; the most virtuous are, undoubtedly, the most happy: but they too have their trials and their disappointments.

How greatly do the kind offices of an affectionate child, gladen the heart of an aged parent-But how sharper than a serpent's sting it is to have a graceless child
