BRIXTON and other parts. Let us so black that we could not observe them, for the place was in many parts very dirty. We saw, however, the great JEWS' BURIAL-GROUND, in which the rich Rothschild lies buried; but the most striking sight of all in Whitechapel was the long row of butchers' shops. These shops, or shambles, have long been the great distinction of Whitechapel. "Beyond the butchers' sham bles are the MILE END ROAD and BETHNAL GREEN. "But we shall not have time to see these places; we will return home. On our way we pass the beautiful SCHOOL FOR THE INDIGENT BLIND-the great ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL, which is to cost £100,000. We are now at the Blackfriars Road. Here is an omnibus to the City-jump in.' "THE EAST.-'Come,' said my friend after dinner, it is "Another eastern district is getting rather late. that bordering on the Thames sally forth eastward.' Accord--part of which we have talked ingly we soon found ourselves of before. Starting from Lon in a neighbourhood called don Bridge, you reach St. Kar ALDGATE. therine's Docks, the London Docks, Wapping, Shadwell, Limehouse, West India Docks, and Blackwall. But we are too tired to go there. 'Indeed,' said my friend, if we do not make haste we shall be unable to visit the West. We have many miles to travel t reach the other side of London so get into another omnibus.' "Aldgate is so called from the old gate,' which was an entrance to the City until the year 1606. Here is the enormous establishment of the noted Jew-tailors, MOSES and SON. We also passed through the Minories, a place which derives its name from the nuns, called Minor-esses, who lived in a convent here. In the Minories, and another place called HOUNDSDITCH, we saw great numbers of Jews. "We next reached WHITECHAPEL, so called from-I really can't say what ; not from any particularly snowy places of worship there. We did not see one chapel, and if there were any they must have been "Hoy! Conductor! Hoy stop.❜ "Conductor: 'Hold hard!' "We are off to the West, dear children, where the sun sets; so, following the sun's example, I beg to rest for today, and remain your faithful friend, THE QUIET MIND. " HENRY YOUNG." FEAR oftentimes restraineth words, ETYMOLOGY. CHAPTER III. THE INFLECTIONS OF VERBS-THE IMPERATIVE, SUBJUNCTIVE, AND INFINITIVE MOODS. P. BESIDES the Indicative the IMPERATIVE MOOD. This and Potential moods of the verb mood is also used sometimes to sing, I gave you three other for entreaty. "Let me sing.” moods"Let him go." 3. If I sing. 4. Sing. 5. To sing. Here are some examples of the first mood, marked 3 I shall be ill if I sing. I am sorry if I did sing. If I were singing I would make you be quiet. I may dance though he forbid me. I will give you a shilling if you be good. Ion. Some of these verbs are alike, because they have if before them. One has "though." P. Yes; in each of these sentences there is one verb which shows the condition on which the other verb depends. Thus, I will give you a shilling condition, if you be good. I shall be ill-condition, if I sing. Such verbs, when they are joined to another for such a purpose, are said to be in the CONDITIONAL MOOD. W. Now let us try the mood of the next instance, "Sing." P. In this instance, I command you to sing; and as the Latin word for command is imperare, we call such a mood W. I will say it over again. When a verb is used to command, or entreat, it is in the Imperative mood. Thus, Jump, puss. Let me pass, puss. Come, Tom. Do, Mary! Ion. And what mood do you call to dance, papa? P. "To dance" merely expresses the verb in a general way. It does not mention any person in connection with it. Such a manner of expressing the action (by merely naming it) is called the INFINITIVE MOOD. You can easily make examples of such a mood. W. Yes; I will make some verbs in the Infinitive mood. To walk. To fight. To run. To sneeze. P. As the Infinitive mood is merely the naming of an action, it is sometimes used like a noun; it may become the nominative case to a verb. Thus To jump across is dangerous. W. I can understand that. To jump across is an action⚫ so you mean the action is dangerous. The word action expresses a real thing, so it is a noun. P. I will make the rule for you on these three moods. RULE.-When a verb expresses a condition, it is said to be in the CONDITIONAL MOOD. When a verb commands, it is in the IMPERATIVE MOOD. When a verb merely expresses the name of the action, and has the little word to before it, it is in the INFINITIVE MOOD. EXAMPLES.-If I succeed. Succeed! To succeed. W. Now we have heard of No. 24. PARSING EXERCISE. Go! show your face to those who like you better. I cannot bear you. I may reach home before eleven, if it do not rain. To see the rain will not be agreeable. I have lost my umbrella. Find it for me. Let me look, To look is useless. I have found it. Look again, you may find another. You will, if you try. He told me I might sing, but I could not. I may have sung. He would have eaten all the dinner. Let us go home. Go. then I was going home. A VISIT TO THE LAMBS. COME, let us go and see the lambs; Ah, there you are. You pretty things! I'm come on purpose, with mamma, What pretty little heads you've got, Come here, my little lambkin, come And lick my hand-now do: How silly to be so afraid Indeed, I won't hurt you. Just put your hand upon its back, Infant School Magazine. 666 THE ENGLISH TRAVELLER. LONDON-THE WESTERN SUBURBS. "MY DEAR CHILDREN,"What a nice fire that is! said my friend, 'lend me the poker;' and with that he gave such a poke between the ribs of the grate, that the fire burst forth into lively flames. 'There! that's a famous fire,' he remarked. "I did not tell you in my last letter that when we left the Whitechapel omnibus we went home to tea before setting out for the Western suburbs. And now, the tea being finished, my friend seemed not at all inclined to move. You do not know what you talk about,' he remarked, 'when you say you'll go to the further end of London; you forget that you will have to travel four or five miles at least, before you can reach the West-end. I'll tell you what to do, as you say you must leave to-morrow. Get me the map of London again, and I will point out the places for you. You have been as far as the Exhibition twice, so that you know part of the neighbourhood pretty well.' Italian Opera House, called Her Majesty's Theatre. This is the largest theatre in Europe, except La Scala at Milan. "But the great sight to be seen when you are at the West is the PALL MALL, of which we have spoken. This place is so called from a game of that name, which was first played in England in the time of CHARLES I. In the part of the year called the London season, all kinds of carriages, of the most splendid styles, may be seen, daily, rolling along Pall Mall; and, if you did not know better, you would think, from the fashionable appearance of the ladies and company, that they were all enjoying some grand holiday. "Pall Mall is the region of the splendid club-houses, of which also you have heard. There are altogether about forty clubs in London. In these great palaces the nobles, members of Parliament, politicians, men of fashion, and literary men meet. Here they spend their leisure hours in reading, in conversation, and in taking refreshment. Some of the finest of these magnificent houses are the UNIVERSITY CLUB HOUSE, the TRAVELLERS' CLUB, the ATHENÆUM CLUB, the CARLTON CLUB, the ARMY AND NAVY CLUB, the UNITED SERVICE CLUB, and the REFORM CLUB. "After passing through Pall Mall you may turn to the right, up St. James's Street, into PICCADILLY; and so on, past HYDE PARK CORNER to the GREAT EXHIBITION. But you have already travelled in that direction, so, if you like it better, you may stop at ST. JAMES's PALACE.' "Here it is,' I said, pointing to it on the map; it is at the end of Pall Mall.' 666 are inhabited by the rich, money-making men of business, for whom London is famous. "There! Now I hope you have heard enough; for that is all I am going to tell you about London or its suburbs,' said my friend. 'Say to me, "Thank you," for taking so much trouble.' "Thank you,' I said; 'but before we leave our subject, let me just write down the names of the suburbs, that you may see whether they are correct.' 'Then pass through this old palace, and you will find yourself in St. James's Park. Continue in the same direction as Pall Mall, and you reach BUCKINGHAM PALACE, the residence of Her Majesty. This building is not popular, although it has cost the public millions of money; the marble arch, which once formed the entrance, cost £80,000; and the expense of Clerkenwell. the metal gates was 3,000 Pentonville. guineas. "Beyond Buckingham Palace is the fashionable neighbourhood called PIMLICO. Adjoining Pimlico is Vauxhall. You must not, however, travel in that direction, but take the direction of Hyde Park Corner. Have you found it on the map?' "Yes; here it is.' "Here begins KNIGHTSBRIDGE, and beyond Hyde Park is the beautiful public promenade called KENSINGTON GARWhen you have visited these Gardens, and have heard the military band play, you may set out for any of the DENS.
