so far as possible, as we find it; and that what such expressions

B«sidea^ the kindred words, trA«n, tohsre^ and tohiUy are usually
parsed as modifying a word in eaeh of two different clauses ; and
participial nouns are frequently parsed as performing a doable office.
Furthermore, the parsing is much simplified. 191. When what is
interrogative or responsive, it is needed in but one case, depending
in construction on some word in its own clause. When tlie form of
the relative prevents it from furnisliing two cases, it must tal tires, p.
ISO. Remember, in parsing, that the antecedent never relites to a
word in the relative clause, but frequently refers to one beyond it.
Ex. — " The boy who trifles away his time, will be wretched in
manhood." A?jf is in the nominative case, not to tnfles, bat to will
be. 192. One, other, and another, are declined like nouns.

great care should be taken to select the most appropriate. o. In the
selection of pronouns, we are governed by the sense, rather tlian by
the nouns which they are to represent. h. It is melegant to use
pronouns of different kinds for the same object^ and in the same
connection, when we naturally expect uniformity. I gave all what I

Agreement of Pronouns with Antecedents. Pronouns must agree with
their antecedents, in gender, person, and number. a. When the
pronoun can not strictly or fully represent its antecedent in gender, it
prefers the masculine. 6. The person and number of the antecedent
to a pronoun, are always what they would be if the antecedent were
the subject of a finite verb. Every person should try to improve their
mind and heart. Each of our ptffty carried a knapsack with them, for
