What Voices Indicate.
There are light, quick surface voices,
that involuntary seem to utter the say
ing, II won't do to tie to-" The mans
words may assure you of his strength
of purpose and reliability, yet his tone
contradicts his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong
voices, where the words seem ground
out as if the man owed humanity a
grudge, and meant to pay it some day.
That mans opponent may tremble, and
his friends may trust his strength OF
purpose and ability to act.
There is the coarse, bOisterous, die
tatorial tone, invariably adopted by
vulgar persons who have not sufficient
cultivation to understand their own in
significance.
There is the incredulous tone, that is
full of covert sneer, or a secret you
can't dupe me, sir" in 'onation.
Then there is q whining, beseeching
voice that says "sycophant" as plainly
as if it uttered the word. 1t cajoles
and fatters you; its words say, II love
you; 1 admire you; you are everything
that you should be-"
Then there is the tender, musical,
compassionate voice, that sometimes
with blunt features, but always with
genuine benevolence.
If you are full of affection aud pre-
tence, your voice proclaims it.
! If you are full of honest strength and
purpose, your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold and calm, and firm
and persistent, or tickle and foolish
and deceptive, your voice will be
equally truth. telling.
You cannot change your voice from
O natural to An unnatural tone without
its being known that you are 80 doing.
