The means to be used, thus to make | to describe them to others with as muen ae known my feelings and thoughts, are tones, curacy as we do any external objects, which words, looks, actions, expression, and silence: we have seen with our material eyes. whence it appears, that the body is the grand medium of communication between myself and others; for by and through the body, are tones, words, looks, and gestures produced. Thus I perceive, that the mind, is the active agent, and the body, the passive agent; that this is the instrument, and that the performer: here I see the elements of mental and vocal philosophy. 9.

After the first speech, made by the younger Pitt, in the House of Commons, an old member sarcastically remarked,-“I apprehend that the young gentleman has not yet sown all his wild oats." To which Mr. Pitt politely replied, in the course of an elaborate and eloquent rejoinder, “Age has its privilege; and the gentleman himself-affords an ample illustration, that I retain food enough for GEESE to pick.” Proverbs. 1.

Notes. 1. To make this sound, drop and project the jaw, and shape the mouth as in the engraving: and when you wish to produce a very grave sound, in speech or song, in addition to the above, swell the windpipe, (which will elongate and enlarge the vocal chords,) and form the voice as loro as possible in the larynx; for the longer and larger these chords are, the graver will be the voice: also, practice making sounds, while exhaling aud inhaling, In deepen the tones.

In thinking, however, we must think clearly and without confusion, as we would examine objects of sight, in order to get a perfect idea of them. Thinking-is the language, and gather wisdom from it. spiritually seeing; and we should always think of things so particularly, as to be able never. 6.

Inas much as the nature of no one thing can be understood, without a knowledge of its origin, and the history of its formation, the qualifications of teachers are seen and felt to be so great, as to induce the truly conscientious to exclaim, in view of his duties, "Who is sufficient for these things?" How can we educate the child in a way appropriate to his state and relations, without a knowledge of his mental and physical structure? Is not a knowledge of psychology and physiology as necessary to the educator, as the knowledge of mechanics is a watch? Who would permit a man even the maker or repairer of to repair a watch, (much less hire a man to make one,) who had only seen its externals? Alas! how poorly qualified are nine-tenths of our teachers for the stations they occupy! almost totally ignorant of the nature and ori gin of the human mind, and the science of physiology, which teaches us the structure and uses of the body. But how little they understand their calling, when they suppose it to be merely a teaching of book-knowledge; without any regard to the development of mind and body. A teacher should possess a good moral character, and entire self-control; a fund of knowledge, and ability to communicate it; a uniform temper, united with decision and firmness; a mind to discriminate character, and tact to illustrate simply the studies of his pupils; he should be patient and forbearing; pleasant and affectionate, and be capable of overcoming all difficulties, and showing the uses of knowledge. 13. The more perfect the medium, the better will it subserve the uses of communitation. Now, by analyzing the constituents of words and voice, I can ascertain whether they are in a condition, to answer the varied purposes for which they were given; and fortunately for me, while I am thus analyzing the sounds, of which words are composed, I shall, at the same time, become acquainted with the organs of voice and hearing, and gradually accustom them to the performance of their appropriate duties. Notes. 1. To give the exact sounds of any of the vowels, take words, in which they are found at the beginning, and proceed as if you were going to pronounce the whole word, but stop the instant you have produced the vowel sound; and that is the true one. 2. Beware of clipping this, or any other sound, or changing it: not, I'kn go, you'kn see, they'kn come; but, I can go; you can see; they cah come. 3. A, in ate, in verbs, is generally long; but in other parts of speech of more than one syllable, it is usually short; unless under some accent: as-intimate that to my intimate friend; educate that delicate and obstinate child; he calculates to aggravate the case of his affectionate and unfortunate wife; he compassionate son meditates how he may alleviate the condition of his disconsolate mother; vindicate your consulate's honor; depre cate an unregenerate heart, by importunate prayer; the pre-ate and primate calculate to regulate the ultimates immediately. 4. Observe-that often the sounds of vowels are sometimes modified, a changed, by letters immediately preceding or succeeding; which may be seen, as it respects a, for instance, in ren-e-gade, mem-brane, rep-ro-tate, can-did-ate, po-ten-tate, night-in-gale, &c.: some hav. ing a slight accent on the last syllable; and others having the a preceded, or followed by a vocal consonant: see previous Note 3. 6. A letter is called short, when it cannot be prolonged in Speech, (though it can in Song,) without altering its form; and long, when It can be prolonged without such change: therefore, we call a sound long, or short, because it is seen and felt to be so: as, cold, hot; pale, mat: in making a long sound the glottis is kept open in definitely; and in making a short one, it is closed suddenly, produ cing an abrupt sound, like some of the consonants. an angel, he would please some folks, much Varieties. 1.

That the body may be free, to act in accordance with the dictates of the mind, all unnatural compressions and contractions must be avoided; particularly, cravats and stocks so tight around the neck, as to interfere with the proper action of the vocal organs, and the free circulation of the blood; also, tight waistcoats; double suspenders, made tighter with straps; elevating the feet to a point horizontal with, or above, the seat; and lacing, of any description, around the waist, impeding the freedom of breathing naturally and healthfully. 14. There are then, it appears, two kinds Language; an artificial, or conventional anguage, consisting of words; and a natural language, consisting of tones, looks, actions, expression, and silence; the former is addressed to the eye, by the book, and to the ear, by speech, and must thus be learned; the latter-addresses itself to both eye and ear, at the same moment, and must be thus acquired, so far as they can be acquired. To become an Elocutionist, I must learn both these languages; that of art and science, and that of the passions, to be used according to my subject and object. Anecdote. True Modesty.

Since the body is the grand medium, for communicating feelings and thoughts, (as above mentioned,) I must see to it, that each part performs its proper office, without infringement, or encroachment. By observation and experience, I perceive that the mind uses certain parts for specific purposes; that the larynx is the place where vocal sounds are made, and that the power to produce them, is derived from the combined action of the abdominal and dorsal muscles. Both body and mind are rendered healthy and strong, by a proper use of all their organs and faculties. Varieties. 1. The triumphs of truth-are 17. Irregular Sounds.

As much depends on the quality of which any thing is made, I must attend to the manner, in which these sounds are produced, and see that they are made just right; each having its appropriate weight, form, and quantity. Taking the above position, and opening the mouth wide, turning my lips a little out all round, trumpet fashion, and keeping my eyes on a horizontal level, and inhaling full breaths, I will expel these sixteen vowel sounds into the roof of my mouth, with a suddenness and force similar to the crack of a thong, or the sound of a gun.

I has two regular sounds: First, its NAME sound, or long: ISLE; ire, -o-dine: Gen-tiles o-blige their wines to lie for sac-charine la-lacs to ex-pe-dite their feline gibes; the ob-lique grindstone lies length-wise on the hori-zon; a ti-ny le-vi-a-than, on [I in [SLE.] the heights of the en-vi-rons of Ar-gives, as-pires to sigh through the mi-cro-scope; the e-dile likes spike-nard for his he-li-acal ti-a-ra; the mice, in tri-ads, hie from the aisle, si-ne di-e, by a vi-va vo-ce vote; the bi-na-ry di-gest of the chrys-ta-line ma-gi, was hir'd by the choir, as a si-ne-cure, for a li-vre. 26. These vocal gymnastics produce astonishing power and flexibility of voice, making it strong, clear, liquid, musical and governable; and they are as healthful as they are useful and amusing. As there is only one straight course to any point, so, there is but one right way of doing any thing, and every thing. If I wish to do any thing well, I must first learn how; and if I begin right, and keep so, every step will carry me forward in accomplishing my objects. Notes. .F, in some words, has this sound; particularly, when accented, and at the end of certain nouns and veris: the ly ce-um's al-ly proph-e-cy to the dy-nas-ty to mag-ni-fy other's faults, but min-i-fy its own. 2. This first dip-thongal sound begins nearly like 21 A, as the engraving indicates, and ends with the name sound of e(a-e.) 3. is not used in any purely English word as a final letter; y being its representative in such a position. 4. When I commences a word, and is in a syllable by itself, if the accent be on the succeeding syllable, it is generally long: as, i-de-a, i-den-ti-fy, i-dol-a-try, i-rar-ci-ble, i-rom-i-cal, i-tal-ic, i-tin-e-rant, &c. It is long in the first syllables of vi-tal-i-ty, di-am-e-ter, di-urmal, di-tem-ma, bi-en-ni-al, cri-te-ri-on, chi-me-ra, bi-og-ra-phy, licen-tious, gi-gan-tic, pri-me-val, vi-bra-tion, &c. 5. In words derived from the Greek and Latin, the prefixes bi, (twice,) and tri, (thrice,) the I is generally long. Anecdote. Seeing a Wind. "I never raw such a wind in all my life," said a man, during a severe storm, as he entered a temperance hotel. "Saw a wind!" observed another," What did it look like?"

It is a signal improvement of the present day, that the ac tions and reactions of book-learning, and of general intelligence-are so prompt, so intense, and so pervading all ranks of society. The moment a discovery is made, a principle demonstrated, or a proposition advanced, through the medium of the press, in every part of the world; it finds, immediately, a host, numberless as the sands of the sea, prepared to take it up, to canvass, confirm, refute, or pursue it. At every water-fall, on the line of every canal and rail-road, in the counting-room of every factory and mercantile establishment; on the quarter-deck of every ship that navigates the high seas; on the farm of every intelligent husbandman; in the workshop of every skillful mechanic; at the desk of every school-master; in the of fice of the lawyer; in the study of the physician and clergyman; at the fireside of every man who has the elements cỉ a good education, not less than in the professed retreats of learning, there is an intellect to seize, to weigh, and to appropriate the suggestions, whether they belong to the world of science, of tenets, or of morals. Varieties. 1. Ought women be allowed to vote? 2. Nothing is troublesome, that we do willingly. 3. There is a certain kind of pleasure in weeping; grief-is soothed and alleviated, by tears. 4.
