ElOcutiOn. The undersigned will come to Stafford June 18th, for the summer months, aud during his stay will give lessons in elocution to such as may desire his services. Execution is not superficial study, but deals directly and pri- marily with thought. As Delsarte says it is ''the art of fitting thought with the forms of voice and gesture" Whether person is in the home circle, at an evening party, lectur- ing, pleading, preaching teaching, or even in business, he should be able, for the edifca- tion of himself and his hearers, both to read and to speak well A few weeks study of the Delsarte system of elocution will enable anyone to understand the principles of the art, and the requirement. thus made is an in fallible standard by which all public speak ing may be gauged. The subscriber has been ln shelburne Falls, Mass, for the past six months, and below are specimens of the rec concentrations which he has received from that place: <
