course studied and stiffened by rhetorical
rules, "Dont give up the ship" was
sentence fraught with power. The tender
est sentiments, the most useful speculations,
maxims and opinions, the sprightlicst With
cisms and benevolent thoughts have been
lost to the world, for want of an interesting
delivery. There is S., young man OF
considerable learning, general intelligence,
and good sense. There is no subject
scarcely of which he does not know some
thing, yet his manner in expressing himself
is so Indifferent, that strangers would sup
pose his mind extremely uncultivated. On
the other hand isM-, sprghtly lad, all
vivacity and life, yet of superficial and lin
tied knowledge. But his manner is such
that he never fails to attract the attention OF
all around him. His wit strikes, his knowi-
edge is evident. his expressions impress
themselves by appropriate tone and gesture
and nothing that he says is unnoticed or tor
gotten. Ihave heard some speakersand read
ers deliver the most pathetic passages VIII
the same coldness and indifference that they


would read or recite the old adage Man,


men of many minds" Words should be thu


transcript of thought and feeling, and ges


ture and tone, should be adapted to words


AS we seldom speak only when we wish tt


be heard, we should study manner to attrac
attention.
