Jit the phrase "John eame yesterday," yesterday is in tho objective ease, ami governed by tho proposition "on"' nnderstood, according to lbt> familinr rule, "nouns sign hying which way, how far, ltpw long.-timo when &c., are put iti the objective, a proposition bfciug understood." In thephrase "John came day before yesterday," yesterday isgovoincd by the proposition "before" expressed. Tiio syntax of tho word ' yesterday" is tho sanio in thiso two soutences, tho only diflbrenco boing that tho governing word is oxprossed in tho latter, and not in in tho former. "On yesterday" is, therefore,' not only not imgrammalicAl, but tiio "on" is essential to tho logical analysis. Whether the on should bo ox pressed or,not is a quostion of taste : our own opiuion is that it. should be loft to bo understood, in accordance with the rulo that nil words, which can bo supplied from the' context, should lie omitted. And now lor "to-morrow." Is "To-morrow" a compound adverb, compounded of the preposition "to" nnd tho substnntivo "niorrdw," or is it a corruption of "tho morrow?" 11"it is the former, "on to-morrow" is certainly nn ungramniatioal cxpro3:iion ; but not a shadow ot nrgucmont can bo offered in support of tho proposition. "Tho morrow," on the other hand, ?3 a familiar phrase. We linvo not spneo to discuss tho etymology at length, nor do wo consider it necessary! to tho phMoligist the proposition will seom axiomaticAnd if "to-morrow" is a substnntivo, tho panic reason- * ing will apply to it as to "yesterday." ^\ro add, l>y way of illustration, llirci/ sentences exhibiting "To- j iftorrow" in all the eases.
