Can you imagine anything in Crca-
tion around US more sublime and
mOre 10 be admired than a pubic
speaker, polished and cultivated in
all that make up the true orator,
standing in the midst Of an admiring
multitude with every eye intent upon
him, with every ear eager tC catch
each word as it falls in dulcot tones
from his eloquent tongue. l have
stood by the great Falls OF Niagara
and looked ut the on-rushing waters
as they came foam crested over their
rocky bed, dashing with madcniag
fqry from. Gag to crag, sending up
showers of spray against the rays OF
the morning sun, forming the most
beautiful rainbow lues; and | have also

Neptune in rage-dark frowuing
clouds overhead and the lashing
foaming pillows rising higher and
yet higher, exhibiting the power and
grandeur of Natures Author. Yet
even these have not so impressed me
as a great intellect / boring with a
theme of corresponding dignity as
great orator standing single handed
and alone with no ally but his own
internal cncrges-calmly and boldly
with his brow unruflled, and his form
erect in tempest Of opposition, with
his powers of eloquence like magic |
wand swaying his audience at his
will and holding them spell bound
Upon his powerful utterances.
Eloquence has in all ages been one OF
the most powerful agents in the refor.
nations and revolutions of the world.
From tie Pulpit and the Bar, the
Forum and the Hastings II has fallen
like a wizard spell upon mankind.
The Lutheran reformation may be
attributed in a great degree to that
solitary monk whose voice rung out
in undulating cadence over the hills
and wales Of Germany. Our own
that rescued US from ihe
Calling yoke Of English tyranny, the
success of which was doubtless due in
a great measure TO the eloquent tongue
of Patrick Henry, whose voice shook
the very palladium of Of despotism and
at whose words, "Give me liberty OF
give me death, the hearts of our rev
sires were fred to deeds
of noble daring. and brought forth

are worthy the patient toll, and the
most heroic exertions. Where then is |
the field in which TO cultivate these
god.likc powers? We think the de-
Batting society in which adeep interest
is manifested, in which a determined
effort 10 succeed is characteristic OF
its members, is the place in which 10
develop these pricele 8 gifts and we
believe that in our midst there is
material that will compare with that
of any other community and all that
is vented is proper effort and culti-
yalion. The diamond buried deep

seen by mortal eye when brought
forth and polished, flames as brightly
as the one that sparkIes in the crown
