After von have nailed a board on the fence successfully, yon will very naturally desire to do aonetbing better, more diffi- cult. You will probably try to erect a parlor table or aruatio settee. I made a very bandaome bracket laat week, and was naturally proud of it. lo fastening it together, if I hadn't inadver- tently nailed it to tbe barn floor, I gueee I could have used it very well, but in tearing it loose from the barn, BO that tbe two could be used aeparately, I ruined a bracket that waa intended to aerve as tbe baae, aa it were, of a lambrequin which coat 19, aside from tbe time expended on it.

Gesticulation is foreign to our nation ; and yet the man who would be ao orator mum learn what to do, aa well * what to avoid doing, with hia arma ud bands. Tbe world is but an echo, tbe ambassador of thought. All energetic passion, nil deep sentiment, must be heralded by expression, or by outward and visible rign of some aort ; otherwise tba words will fall coldly, aa emanating from the intellectual machine, and not springing, warm and irrepressible, f rom the heart. Talma, in bis treatise on the art of acting, says : " The gesture, the attitude, tbe look, tbould precede tbe words, aa the flash of light- ning precedes the thunder." Yet, if you watch any uncultivated speaker, yon will find tbat bia action nevsr indicates the path he 11 travelling, but followa it. Observe the itinerant preacher, wboae apopletic eloquence aug- Keats that be is suffering from a determina- tion of words to tbe month ; you will aee tbat the flinging of bis arma to and fro ia an effort to add force to hia words, not tbe outcome of strong feeling before it baa broken into apeeob. Tbe true orU,/a movements must appear ao spontaneous tbat they paaa unnoticed, and yet, insen- aibly, they will affect hia audience. The moat powerful speakers are always more or leaa actors, who identify themselves with tbe cause they advocate. Cold rhetoricians who have not tbia capacity may bring oon viotioc to our reason when we read their speeohea in the papers tbe morning after tbey are delivered, but, lacking the paa- sionate persuasiveness of men wboae voice and frame vibrate with the emotion tbeir worda evoke, tbey will never touch tbe hearts or route the enthusiasm of an audi- ence. In public speaking, aa in reading, it is ot primary importance that the voice be not pitched too bigh or too low, but that the keynote be B truck in the middle ot tbe re- giater. Many persons become exhausted in reading, or in addressing an audience, from igeoranoe of the art of respiration, and from tbe erroneous notion that it ia neoeasary to employ some non-natural tone. Neither U it eaaentaal to about in order tbat the speaker's words may be carried to tba furthest extremity of a large hall. There can be no greater miBtakea than tbeae. Aa in ainging, ao in oratory, tbe most natural emiaaion of tbe voice, if combined with a distinct articulation, will " tell " more at a great diataooe than all tbe bellowing in the world.

Thackeray in many of hia minoc. sketches constantly draws tbe por- trait of tbe man and woman whoae means are no l equal to tbe style of living whioh tbey desire; aod they desire it not for taelf, but only because others have it. Tbey are not strong and steady enough to be oontent with tbat which tbey can com- mand and afford, and the means to aeoure tbe other must somehow be obtained. Thaekery puts tbe fact in the aimpleat and most amusing form. The young couple must give a dinner, and instead of a joint of lamb and tbe glass of beer wbiob is tbe only repast to which they have tbe moral right to invite a friend if, indeed, tbe beer may be morally permitted tbey must Deeds prepare a leant which they cannot honorably afford, and for tbe sole reason tbat other people who can afford to give such leant*.
