looks and acts. A drunken man is a sad,
pitifll sight, and the audience that would
be entertained and pleased by such imita-
tons, must b. of a very low sort; and
certainly; the man who is willing to make
money by such professional limitations,
cannot be lar above the suffice, initiated.
But this Professor" can bark? And he
offers to entertain his audience by barking
like dog. No doubt such announce
ments are attractive to certain class of
boys, but the influence of such an exhibi-
ton of canine accomplishment, must be
deDasing on those who are delighted with
il. Ii barking is the attraction, why not
put dog on the platform and let him bark
ill the audience is satisfied. But bark
ing dog would neither satisfy or attract;
it must be barking man; and we cannot
resist the conviction that the man who
barks for money, does not misrepresent
himself
Still more: This 'PrOftssOr" will squeal
like pig What is there about pig-squeal
ing that man should make a public
show oft? The music is detestable in
quality, and coarse in its associations
Yes but man is TO squeal like pig, and
that makes the case quite different. Put
a pig on the platform and pull his tail,
and he would quickly satisfy the audience;
but let a man take the pigs place and do
the squealing and it becomes professional.
Clumsy squealing will not answer; the
man must squeal like pig. and the more
perfectly this plggishness is initiated, the
more perfect is the professional character
Ofthe performance.
The moral effect of all such exhibitions,
is deplorable. If there Is public taste al
ready existing for such displays, man
cannot cater for it, without personal de-
basement and if there is no public taste
for such scenes, then a man is positively
and publicly criminal in creating such
taste. Leave barking for the dogs; leave
grunting and squealing to the pigs; leave
the drunkard's staggering step, his hIc-
coughs, and bus idiotic expressions, with
him to die away in his shame-for surely
the public platform is no place to serve up
such scenes for ridicule and laughter;
and let no wandering professional star of
Elocution initiate drunkard when not
lecturing, for such imitation is apt to mis-
lead.
Most earnestly do we petition that pro-
fessors of EIocution will not thus debase
their professional claims but let them, by
bringing manly motive and noble soul
to their efforts. make themselves an eleva-
ting power over their audiences.

Professional Debasement.

Here is handbill, announcing. with
heavy display of chromatic capitals, that
on acertaln evening, famous Professor
of Execution will lecture on his Art. in
the Town Hall at Rock Creek. We read
down the bill and learn that this famous
professor has spent twenty years on the
Stage, and is perfect master of vocal and
facial expression; that he will give exam
pies of reading; will laugh on one side of
his face and cry on the other will look
like an old man of 20, and like boy of
IA. Also, he will initiate an old woman
preacher, and drunkard. He will also
bark like dog, squeal like pig, scream
like cat, buzz like a Humble Bee. &c
The whole to be interspersed with feats of
ventriloquism. We read through this long
list of accomplishments with sad feelings,
and silently protest against this profession
al debasement ss.. r. ..
A lecture on Elocution by profession
al master, could hardly fail 10 produce
good results; anything that will draw at
tention to the attainable beauty, purity,
power and richness of our much abused
kings English" is desirable, and wor.
thy of encouragement. Such a professor
would be an educating force-a real bene-
fit to every audience who heard him.
But-snd alas for this but-what rea-
sonable connection is there between Elo-
cution ind initiating an old woman
What is there about an old woman that
makes her proper subject of public ridi-
cule? Grand mothers are among us, who
have passed through a long period of toll
and care, who are worthy Of all honor
They haye nursed their children and their
children's children, toiled for them, watch
ed over them In sickness, and they live
among us-the representatives ofa past
generation their hands are hard and with
cred, their eyes dim, their faces faded and
wrinkled, their voices out Of tune. their
steps slow and uncertain; and to such,
proFound respect is due from every one.
What man With hpRorable feelings would
make q woman the subject OF public
mockery because she Is oldf And what
audience of average intelligence and hu-
manity would be edited by such an exhi-
ton of heartlrss skillP
