Tue SECRET or ELoQuxScr.-The Pal
Null Gasstis says:

An aimirsr Of Mr.. Bright writes to q
Manchestor paper that he has discovered
the secret OF the power this great speak
or possesses Of riveting the attention OF
his audience. This he believes to lie in
tho fact that he uses monosyllablss very
largely. The grand passage in MIR.
Bright's speech on the Burials bill do
scribing q Quaker funeral begins: 81
will take the case Of my own sect" and
on counting the words OF that remarka-
BILE oration Il will be found that out OF
one hundred and ninety words one hun
drsd and forty nine. more than seventy
Ave per cent. were monosyllables. On
this Il il urged that those In charge OF
youth should teach than the uss Of mo-
nosyliables. An American journal late
ly mentioned school where such pains
had been taken to instruct tho boys in
the art Of public speaking that II they
had learned nothing else they had &C
quired tho greatest contempt for all tho
devices Of stump oratory. The course OF
study prescribed 10 left TO the imagins-
ton, but doubles includes the translation
into monosyllables Of the ponderous
vsrbiass which passes current In most
political assemblies as current eloquence.
Il would, however. be cruel TO insist on
the introduction Of such teaching into
any Of the standards. Many are
obliged TO speak who have less TO say
than Mr. Bright. and to them the sesqui.
psiilia rerta are indispensable.
