MIGHT HAVE BEEN. BY GSOBGE COOPEB. I might have been more patient? Ahl would the angry word Upon my lips had perished, Unuttered and unheard! Some heart would now be lighter To wend its toilsome way; Some life would be more cheerful, More sunshiny to-day. | I might hare been more dly? How trifling is the cost Of simple deeds of goodness, Whose power is never lost! The golden moments vanished, And never to return; The glory of bestowing, Too-late! too late I learn. | I might have been more loving To those who hold me dear; What little deeds, neglected, Had soothed their pathway here! The hasty word or action That pained a gentle heart, Ah! will its mournful memory From out our life depart?

It will be necessary for a clear understanding of these reasons to know what elocution is. It is variously defined, but the subject of the definitions by good authorities is, that good elocution consists in the natural expression of thought by speech ancl^, gesture. Natural here applies jT our highest, or God-nature, and-Oot to habit or second nature. An agree that the basis of elcguir?L is good reading. We^$aivt nave vocal ex?^JSfgssT5S7 proper pronunciation, correct articulation and true facial exP*? pression. To acquire vocal expression, one must first have a well developed voice. Intelligent investigation has established the fact the voice is the product of a physical mechanism, and that its devolopment follows a law of our being as simple and natural as that by which the arms moves or the brain thinks. In this development, properly carried on, the most vital organs of the human body are brought into play. It demands correct posture and proper habits of respiration affords healthful exercise to the throat and lungs, brings the intercostal muscles into vigorous action and thus stimulates the entire physical system. A well developed voice imparts force and dignity to every relation in life. It must have purity, power and flexibility. These can be acquired only by correct breathing combined with judicious, systematic and vigorous vocal and physical exercise. We require sweetness of tone in our musical instruments to which we only listen occasionally, is it not more important that the human voice, constantly in our ears, should be musical and pure? "When this is acquired, modulation? + V?a nro/>ofn1 nnrvinr* and Vkondincr rrf VMV ^*WVVAU* VVU tw IV v _ the voice to suit the sentiment of \ the piece?becomes easier. To express thought and feeling properly they must be comprehended thoroughly; but this is not enough. The elements and principles underlying the science of expression must have been mastered by a practical application to the various styles of thought and feeling. The selection must be memorized and the characters presented fully conceived. Then the well trained voice, directed by an understanding mind, produces most pleasing effects. The drill required in learning it improves the articulation, in-- which so many are deficient. The student must accustom his organs of speech ?to the words of another before he can utter them distinctly; the thorough acquirement of one selection in this way makes each succeeding one easier. He finds new words, . many unfamiliar, and to pronounce ^^^them properly he must consult his |^^^^&ctionajy, thus establishing a habit winch will prove valuable through his entire life. Bui vocal expression, proper pronunciation and good articulation, though all important, do not embrace everything necessary to good reading. The face, that index to human feeling, must also express the idea conveyed by the author. The countenance has the greatest power of expression and determines, in a great degree, the effect of our reading or conversation. We must, therefore, study to submit that also to the power of the mind. In close connection with the facial < i i. . i_. J expression, we nna gesture, uiciuuing posture and movement. It is si.lent but no less eloquent in its exposition of the workings of the souL It adds grace, emphasis and illustra^ tion{ thus furnishing a picture complete in all its parts. The student of elocution acqires ease in all his movements?he learns -to sit, stand and walk gracefully, thus attain a general bearing that gives force to his character. In addition to these physical considerations, the study of this science furnishes no ordinary mental culture. The % student's memory is much strengthened by the exercise he gives it in learning selections and his imagination stimulated by the effort necessary for the forcible portrayal of the scenes. It brings him into intimate communion with all the noblest thoughts of the wisest men of all ages. The sublimity of Shake speare, the grandeaur of Milton, the imagination of Scott, the pathos of Dickens, the purity of Longfellow, the inspiration*of the Bible?we may become familiar with them all. It cannot be but that the study and recitation of such -writings will ennoble the moral nature. * *. Sound from a Rainbow. One of the most wonderful discoveries in science that have been made within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound. A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lamp black, colored silk or wosted, or other substances. A disk having slits or openings .cut in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light so as to cut it up, thus making alternate flashes of light and shadow. On putting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as the flashing beam is falling on the vessel. Recently a more wonderful discovery has been made. The beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism, so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum, or rainbow. The disk is turned and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. Kow place the ear to the vessel containing the silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be given by different parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if the vessel contains red wosted and the green light flashes upon it, loud sounds will be given. Only feeble will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk give sound best in red light. Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors, and utters no sound in others. The discovery is a strange one, and it is thought more wonderful things will come of it. Is Life Worth Living? JNot if you go through the world a dyspeptic. Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets is a positive cure for the worst forms of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Flatulency and Constipation. Guaranteed and sold by Dr. M. Q. Hendrix. Cna Sin. / ? Satan kpjwa that one sin lived in and allowed, will as certainly shut the spr out from heaven as many. On& an allowed and countenanced, ^Tspoil the sweet music of conscience; one sin allowed will make death as terrible and formidable to the soul as many. One hand writing on the wall made King Belshazzar's countenance to change, his thoughts to be troubled, and the joints of his loins to be loosened. Oh, sirs, remember that as one glass of poison will kill a man, as one act ] of treason makes a traitor, so one sin , loved and practiced, will ruin a man forever. Satap can be contented that men yielded to God in many things, provided they be true to him in some one thing; for he knows very well that one sin allowed and lived in, gives him as much advantage over the soul as more. It is said of Naaman, the Sirian, that he was a valiant man, and a great favorite with the prince, but it is emphatically said that he was a leper; so it may be said of many, that they have great excellencies, and perform such and such glorious duties, but their one sin, allowed and lived in, mars the beauty of all their services. There never was false professor who did not live under the power of one sin, and he who can say that it is otherwise with him, I dare assure that man, in the Lord's name, that he is no hypocrite. Afraid of Arrivals,. First Small Boy?"There comes the preacher to our house, and Fm going to tell him none o' the folks ain't home." Second Small boy?"What fer?" "Cause every time he comes he starts a revival o' religion at our house, and that sets pop to prayin' a dozen times a day." "His prayin' don't hurt you." "Yes, it does, too. He wears the knees of his pants so thin that when they is made over for me they don't last a week." New Hampshire compels working children of from fourteen to sixteen years to go to school three months of the year. "You can't do anything without money, my boy." "O, yes, sir, you^ ? can."
