The German, like the. Latin. makes
much use of.snxiliary verbs in conse
quence of a want of separate tense
suffixes. The present'and imperfect

simple verb stem. In the Gothic we
find a dual number and reduplicated

The German language has under

its history from_the seventh century
after Christ down to ,the present.
The completeness and complexity of
of the system 'of grammatical krms
occurring in the infleetion of the
noun, pronoun, adjective and verb,
have been greatly modified, the for
mer destroyed, the latter simplified.
While the Gothic had forty endings
in the inflection in the noun, the OM
German had twenty-five and the New
bad only seven. The instrumental

forms for the genders of the plural of

In the history of a language there
is of necessity much change in vcicab
ulary. Usually, however radical and
:primitive words stick. They are so
generally employed in the formatiot.
of derivatives that there is not much
danger of annihilation. They - fortti
the nucleus around • which words
cluster. Like the hub they suppOti
the concentering spokes of the wheel.
Merivatives are often lost and become
completely obsolete., radical words
very seldom. Notwithstanding -this
quite a number'of radical words haw
utterly disappeared in the history of
this language from' its v ocabulary.
Bat the vocabulary of the New-G3r
man, by the formation of many Des 6
derivatives, of which• development the
language affords indefinite capacity,
and by , compounds of native words,
as well as also by the addition of
some fortim words, has been grand
ly recruited and enriched. There is,
perhape, no spoken language in
which thought may be expressed in
all its fonts and delicate shades of
meaning, and with such nice and
complete accuracy, as in the German;
and this for the reason we have just
mentioned, namely : the richness and
flexibility of its vocabulary. But we
will speak of this more fully here
after.
Grimm distinguishes the German
family of languages from all others
by four marks of discrimination : 1.
The Want, or change Of the radical
vowel, in the conjugation-forms .of
the verb. 2. The /atimerschiebung,
or change of sounds and letters from
one point to another on the same
scale. & The weak conjugation of
the verb (or the conjugation of rgu

irregular; tion (or the conjugation of
verbs).
When the tribes of the German
branch of the Teutonic family first
settled in Germany, there was probs.,

when they became. permanently set

have any communication between
themselves, so that everywhere dia

LETTER FROM ITHLOL
hmAci, Oct. 20. 1871.
DEAR. limy= : Not long since I
read a very interesting fish story in
your valuable journal. .I must con
fess / have some denbta as to the
truthfulness of the author's state
mental, taken as a whole, but never-
Useless am inclined to believe that
the " Old Fisher Man " meant to tell
the truth. A fish story is not count
ed, it good one, unless it is s little
fishy, so most people say. Allow me
to present to the readers of the Be-
PORTER some of my experience in
angling : •
A passion for sporting among . the
finny tribe, I behave is born in a
inan7l know that from a child no
otheestiort was (nor is to this day)
so fascinating to me: I have been
flogged as many times as I have - fin
gers, at heist; when a boy, for run
ning away from my work, to fish for
Chubs and suckers in the beautiful
Susquehanna.
I heard a man once say, that of all
Music, the baying of hounds on the_
distant hillside, was the sweetest and
most enchanting to him. What
charms cue most is the clucking of a
large sized bullhead or the jactitating
of an immense black bass on the bot
tom of my fishing smock.
Not long since I invited two
friends to accompany me on a fishing
excursion. They consented, and we
inade,arrangements accordingly. We
were to fish only for black bum Our
bait consisted of crabs, grasshop per ,
crickets; minnows and worms. This
array of bait was to- accommodate
the varied taste of said bass. It 4is
known to us that this species of the
finny tribe are -very particular about
their diet each day in the week. They
may take to crabs on Monday - and
worms on Tuesday, and grasshoppers
on Wednesday, of this week.. They
are 80 contrary they may reverse the
whole bill of fare on the fo'lowing
seven days; thus it becomes necessa
ry when we go fishing to have on
band a complete assortment of fish
diet.
Well, our plan was to leave home
in the evening about nine o'clock,
and arrive on the fishing grounds,
about eleven o'clock P. YE., then to
store ourselves away in Dr. Burdick's
boat house till five o'clock a.. X., then
to boil our coffee and eat our break-
fast, which we thoughtfully provided
at home,. and carried along in a mar
ket-basket. o.ur resting place was
on the ground. My pillow was a flat
stone and a bunch of anchor
my comrades enjoying the I : ° =7;
blessing. Our rest was not the sweet
est in the w' rid, for the howling - .1:1f
wild bowls (foxes, owls, coons, etc,)
came near us, the creatures no doubt
scenting `our bolognas and cheese,
and the pesky wind did whistle--so
that one could hardly shut his eyes.
I did sleep, however, a little, as
my friends claimed That they were
driven out by the fire in despair of
farther rest, owing to my terrible
snoring.
ow
"N," said I, when our lunch
was over, "let's go for bass." •
Daylight had,hardly made its ap
pearance, when two of us took to
bout arid rowed gently out upon
t3ayuga's fair bosom to commence
business in earnest far the day.
Our youhg friend, Dud, rolled him
self up in his blanket and laid him
down to rest where no snoring could
molest or wild beasts disturb, beside
a blazing fire. - '
I had secured our boat by anchor.
and was now ready for angling.
baited my` hook with a worm, and
cast my line some rods into the deep,
and placed myself in a comfortable
position and waited patiently for
a bite; but no bite came; it was not
the day for worms.
I then tried grasshoppers with 41c)
better success. I soliloquized that
crabs must certainly be the thing. I
tried a crab. My line had hardly
struck the water when I felt an im
mense jerk, nearly hauling me over- .
board. I cried out to Mowry that . • I
had a bouncer, and was afraid my
line or hook would not prove ample
to bring him into the boat. I was,
advised to give him line, and - then
haul him , a little nearer, and thee
slackens. little, and so continue till
I tired the fellow out, (the fish, not
me), and then lift him in. = I took
my friend's advice and succeeded. in.
securing a fish that weighed seven
pounds arid six Ounces. We called
it a black bass, bat his scales were as ;
yellow as gold.. If this *ouster was
a black fish, there is propriety in us
ing theterm, ".white
While I was baiting my book 'the
second time with suitable did; my
friend Mowry hooked a beauty and
brought him in. . This one's color
corresponded with his name; he was
of light weight, but a perfect beauty.
Thus, we fished t•It• long after day
light, taking in ull I,;,alie eighty
pounds of the choicest pieces ever
caught. We went on - shore and
aroused Dud, and when he fairly
opened his eyes we put to sea again.
Our crabs had given out and we sup
plied ourselves again by turning over
Sat stones along the shore.
Now comes the most ietereuting
and. exciting part of my story. I bad

there, which would afford us a rare

Hatch is a friend of mine and keeps
the Aurora Hotel. He fortunately
was out rowing when we came , oppo
site his house. I signalled him with
my handkerchief, and he rowed -up
and caught hold of onr - boat with a
hook or grapple which he had at
hand. He enquired what was up
and we briefly explained. He said
he could help us out of our
_trouble.
We told him to do it as soon as he
could, as my strength misis about ex
hausted. He took my place at the
line, and began a hand over hand
hauling, while two of our friends
went to the oars,- and rowed north
with a vengeance.
_
In this way we soon had the pleas
ure and satisfaction- of landing at
Union Springs a sturgeon that
weighed 500 lbs. Such large fel are
coarse grained, and not so' good for
food as the smaller kinds;auch as we
caught earlier in the morning. We
took the evening boat for Ithaca,
where we arrived safe if not so-sound.

day sporting among the fiebes,let
him or her come.

Nramt RzusQtrzsa Your Osizor
Never relinqiish the great object ol
your ambition. whatever it flay be.
Let it be, more or least distinctly,
ever present to your mind. Let it
exert a controlling influence over all
your actions. In the first place, have
some definite aim to your life—some
distinct, and leading object of your
ambition; and be amb dons to ac
complish it. An aimless, -objectless ,
life nil dull and dreary waste. It
lacks stimulus, zest and enjoyment.
In choosing an object of ambition,
choose a worthy one, in behalf of
which all the strength, all the higher
and nobler faculties-may be enlisted.
Have an aim that you may unblush
ingly and proudly exhibit to the light
of the day, and for whi h you may
safgly challenge the respect of all.
Then pursue it earnestly and stessl
faitly. No matter - what discourage
tcents assail you, or what obstacles
present themselves in your way, keep
right on in the pursuit of your ob
ject. If your progrePq be slow, still
persevere, and 11.4.4 it sure.
Do 50n. , , '., come, to you? - They
come all. The continued adher

which you have laid . out; will do as
much as an) thing can to brighten
your path,,, even when grief and
gloom overshadow it. Press -on,
through good report, or evil report,
through darkness or • through sun:.
shine, amid storms or under peace

rilinquish the great object of your
ambition. - • . -

whom was known to have committed
a theft, and thus _addressed them :
"Take each of you one of ftheee sticks,
which are of an - equallength, and
put themituder your pillows ta-night.
I do not at present know the offend
er, but you must return the sticks to
me - to-morrow plotting; and the one
belonging to the thief will have grown
an inch during the night. " The
family retired to rest ; but before he
went to sleep; the man who had com
mitted the theft, cunningly cut-off an
inch from his - stick, firmingly believ
ing, by this means,, to attain the -
length of the; othersby nett morning.
The sticks were returned, and, by
comparing them, the Priest wasin
