former it dries slowly and becomes
hard, like a glazed surface, not
easily effaced afterwards by the

wood at once, as into q sponge,
leaving the lead nearly dry apd

Alexander the, Great, seeing Do

pher what. he was looking for.
"That, which I cannot fnd," was
the reply; "the difference between
your fathers bones and those of his
slaves" So it is with our religion;
when it is reduced to; it's elements,
when the flesh and blood Of earthly

STaaaEgING.

Stammering is due to unbalanced
action Of the muscles concerned in
articulation. This is why many
persons who stutter badly in speak
ing can sing without difficulty.
Singing compared with. speaking, is
as walking compared to running.
Some persons whose muscular sys-
tenn is not equally developed, as the
case of many sedentary females, can
walk very well, but cannot run
without staggering. The athelete
can run with the bame grace and
symmetry of motion that he can
walk. In singing the motions of
the articulation muscles are slow,
deliberate and measured. In
speaking they are rapid, and if oil
do not contract in harmony, some
will be thrown into spasmodic
action. And this is stammeting.
In some cases the tounge, and
in other cases. the lips act spasnodi-
caliy, producing the varieties of
stammering known, as lingual and
labial. It is very easy to under
stand that, if these defects are not
corrected in childhood, they become
by long habit, very inveterate in
adult life. Yet nearly all cases arc
curablc by judicious trimming. But
months Of patient and preserving
effort arc usually required.
The remedial plan consists essen.
italy in asertaining what words or
letters occasion spasmodic action,
and practicing on them by pro-
nonncing very slowly and distinctly,
as in singing, until the habit of
spaemodic action is overcome. The
patient must, on no account, utter
sound hurriedly, nor until the mind
has, by deliberate exercise of will
power, got control of the muscles:
A good elocutionist may be of great
service to the patient; but he must
study the peculiarities:of each case,
and not undertake to manage all
cases by a outine.-Science of

Example, Better than Precept.

You want TO do good?, Remem-
Der that the most effectual means
1of accomplishing that result is by
example. He who exhibits those
exce1leneies il his life. which he
proclaims with his tongue, will ap-
pear the most useful. A fine genius,
q retentive memory, an eloquent
tongue may be desirable; but an
enlightened mind and uniform life
are every way superior.

never said to his soldiers, tie, -
