trust to The Inspiration Of the mo-
meni, and speak of hand, or, at leas,
without written preparation. Such
is the case with many noted preach
'ers, among others. with Spurgeon
and Beecher. Others make notes aud
headings of their subject, and frame
here and there a sentence; they leave
the rest 10 q careful study Of their
subject and file moment Of speaking.
OILERS, again, carefully write out the
whole OF their speech, and either
commit it TO memory or con IT over
very thoroughly before appearing in
public to deliver it. Webster and
Everett always carefully prepared
their oralions in this way, while Clay
often spoke with little or no prepara-
tion. a,s a iEaW itgnial q

As n rule, orators manifest a pain
fnl anxiety about their speeches.
They are uneasy and nervous, as if
anticipating failure. This'is due to
The very sensitive organization which
