2. In searching your heart should you find you intend 

 Some good to yourself or another to do, 



To relieve the distress'd or yourself to amend, 



Oh ! watch the bright time when the purpose shall glow; 



For happiness hangs on the moment I wot, 



IP YOC FAIL NOT TO STRIKE WHEN THE IKON IS HOT. 



3, Whene'er by a smithy you happen to pass, 

 And hear on the anvil the hammer's loud clang, 

 This truth in your mind do not fail to rehearse, 



That you heard from a blacksmith as blithely he sang 



" IF GOOD BE TOUR AIM, BE WHATEVER YOUR LOT, 



NEVER FAIL, SIR, TO STRIKE WHILE THE IRON is HOT." 



In the " second part " of this tune note PE occurs. This 

 note will be more fully and clearly explained in a subsequent 

 lesson ; wo will not, therefore, discuss it here. 



In singing the words, be careful to notice the -italics and 

 small caps which indicate expression. The little mark, like 

 two interlacing crosses, is called a sharp. It raises the note, 

 before which it stands, something less than half a tone, and 

 should be observed in each case. 



In the next lesson we shall commence an examination of the 

 different notes, with this point in view, and furnish illustrations 

 from the great masters. It is sufficient for us here to request 

 the pupil to read with care, and put to the test, the following 

 remarks : 



The notes DOH, son, and ME give to the mind an idea of rest 

 and power (in degrees corresponding with the order in which 

 they are named), while TE, FAH, LAH, and BAT (in similar 

 degrees), suggest the feelings of suspense and dependence. 

 Thus, if after we have heard the principal notes of the key, the 

 voice dwells on the sound TE, the mind is sensible of a desire 

 for something more, but the moment TE is followed by DOH 1 a 

 sense of satisfaction and repose is produced. In the same 

 manner the mind is satisfied when FAH resolves itself into ME, 

 and LAH (though not so decidedly) into son. HAY also excites 

 a similar feeling of inconclusiveness and expectancy, which is re- 

 solved by ascending to ME, or, more perfectly, by falling to DOH. 



Notice the power and vigour given to Exercises 35, 16, and 

 17, by the notes DOH, son, and ME. Sing the tunes over for 

 the purpose of forming an independent judgment on this point. 

 Then, to show the effect of the "leaning" notes, sing slowly 

 as follows :

LESSONS IN LATIN. XV. 



POSSESSIVE OE ADJECTIVE PBONOUNS. 



IT will be remembered that in our last lesson we discussed the 

 personal pronouns, and gave a table of their declension. We 

 also noticed the peculiar use of the reflective pronoun Sui. The 

 personal pronouns are used substantially when they are sub- 

 stituted for any case of a noun. 



The personal pronouns which have an adjective force, are 

 formed from the genitive of the personal substantive pronouns. 

 They are called possessive, because they denote an object as 

 the possession of the first, the second, or the third person. From 

 mei, of me, is formed meus, mea, meum, my ; as appears in this 

 table. 



mine 

 thine 

 his own 

 ours 

 yours 



To increase the force, pte is added to the ablative singular oi 

 snus, as suapte mauu, with his own hand ; suopte gladio, with 

 his own sword. Met, with the same view, is appended to the 

 oblique cases of suus ; as, suismet capitibus, to their own heads. 

 All the cases except the nominative are called oblique. This 

 title was bestowed on them by the old grammarians. The idea 

 is that the nominative is a perpendicular straight line, forming 

 at one end various angles with the lines representing the other 

 cases which from their inclination from the perpendicular have 

 obtained the name of oblique. 



I must here recall to your mind that the personal pronouns 

 are in Latin used only when emphasis is required, or to express. 

 a contrast ; as, ego stultns sum, tu sapiens, I am foolish, thou 



art wise. The same is the case with the possessive pronouns. 

 We frequently find the same idiomatic use of the article in French, 

 where it is used when we should employ a possessive pronoun.

Certain pronouns in Latin bear the name of demonstrative, 

 because they point out (in Latin, demonstro, I point out ; E. E. 

 demonstrate) the person or persons that are intended. The de- 

 monstrative pronouns are is, ea, id ; ille, ilia, illud ; iste, ista, 

 istud; hie, haec, hoc. Of these, is signifies this or that, and 

 approaches to our personal pronoun he, his, etc.; hie denotes 

 this person, that is, the nearer to the speaker ; ille, that person, 

 farther from the speaker ; iste, that person, particularly when a 

 person is addressed, the second person. From is, ea, id, idem, 

 the same, is formed by the addition of dem ; thus, is-dem con- 

 tracted into idem (pronounced i'-dem), ea-dem, id-dem or idem 

 (pronounced id'-em). To these may be added, ipse, ipsa, ipsum, 

 he himself, that very person. In the following manner decline the
