They had been kind and mild to their play-mates, and their fa-ther said he would take them to the show. • They saw there a great ma-ny wild beasts in ca-ges, and .some with a chain round one leg, made fast to a post. There were li-ons, and ti-gers, and el-e-phaiits. The boys walk-ed round slow-ly, look-ing at ev-er-y thing. They felt a lit-tle a-fraid of some of the beasts, but were much pleas-ed with most that they saw.

'JLESSO* §G. BATTLE OF FORT MOULTRIE. AittOAg the earliest battles during tlie contest with England for American Independence, was the gallant defence of Fort Moultrie. This fcvt was on an island, at the mouth of Charleston harbour, in South Carolina. It was a rough fort, built of palmetto 1 logs. But though the fort was rough, it had - some brave man within it. And bravely did they defend it, against a whole fleet of the enemy's ships. So well did they return the fire, that the enemy was glad to escape, with the loss of many men and much damage to his ships.

DERIVATIVE WORDS, A Derivative is a word that is formed from some other word, by adding one or more syllables to it. Thus, from the word love, we have lover, loved, loving, lovely, unloved, unlovely.

The principal of these affixes and prefixes with tiieir definitions are given in the following tables : TABLE OF AFFIXES. ER — the person who, — as, baker, the person who bakes. OK — the person who, — as, inventor, the person, who in- vents. 98 OUR OWN SPELLING BOOK. 12345 123 4 12? 4 i , ? firte, fat, far, fall, care, — mete, met, her, there,— pine, pin, sir, machine, — no, not; ED — did, — as, desired, did desire.

THE PLURAL OF SOtJNS. Among the simplest class of affixes are those which form the plurals of nouns. Rules for forming the plural. 1. The plural of most nouns is formed by adding s to the singular ; as, boy, boys. 2. When s added to a word would *e hard to pro- nounce es is added ; as, lash, lashes ; fox, foxes. 3. To render the union of sound easier, /'and fe are changed into ves; as, wife, wive& 4f. A few nouns form their plurals by changing the vowel; as, man, men.#^ v 5. Y with a consonant before it is changed into ies f as, fly. flies. Ox adds en ; ox, oxen. EXAMPLES OF PLURAL DERIVATIVES. Sing. Pfa. Sinj. Plu. Sing. Plu.

Words of one syllable, and words accented on the last syllable, when they end with a single consonant, preceded by a single vowel, double the final consonant before an additional syllable that begins with a vowel; as, rob, robber. Exceptions. — X, z, and k are never doubled. 2. A final consonant, when it is not preceded by a single vowel, or when the accent is not on the last syl- lable, remains single before an additional syllable; as, toil, toiling ; visit, visiting. o. Words ending with any double letter, preserve it double before any additional termination not beginning with the same letter ; as, see, seeing ; hill, hilly. 4. Words ending with any double letter, preserve it double in all words formed by means of prefixes ; as, spell, misspell. 5. Primitive words ending in a silent e, omit e before an additional syllable beginning with a vowel; as, re- move, removal ; take, taking. Exceptions. — Words ending in ce or ge retain thS e before able or ous ; as, trace, traceable.

It is therefore left to the teacher to point them out, or direct the pupil to such sources as will give him the desired information. The rules given above are sufficient to enable the pupil to spell most of the derivative words in the language, when he has learned the orthography of the primitives from which they are derived.
