READING ALoUD.-There is no treat so great
as to hear good reading Of any kind. Not enc
gentleman or lady in a hundred can read so as to
please the ear and send the words with gentle
force to he heart and understanding. An indis-
tioet utterance. CULTURAL notes, hesitations, and
other vices of elocution are almost universal.-
Why it is, no one can say. unless it be that either
thu pulpit, or toe nursery, or the Sunday-school,
gives the style iu these days. Many a lady Can
sing Italian soags, with considerable execution,
but cannot read English passably Yet reaiing
is by far the most valuable Accomplishment of the

BIS read one has weak lungs, another gets hoarse,
another chokes, another has az abominable sing
