ElOcutiOn.

The undersigned will come to Stafford June 10th, for the summer months, aud during his stay will give lessons in elocution to such as may desire his services Elocution is not 8 superficial study, but deals directly and pri- marily with thought. As Delsarte says, it is Stthe 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 sheFld be able, for the edifca- ton of himself and his hearers, both to read and to speak we'll. 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 in Shelburne Falls, Mass, for the past six months, and below are specimens of the rec concentrations which he has received from that place.,

 ''It gives me great pleasure to testify to the success of MT. Ohas. H. Puffer, as elocution teacher in this town. He came perfect stranger, to place where elocution was by no means popular, and by faithful work has made the study universally appreciated. I have taken lessons of teachers of the Monroe system, and speak from experience, when I say that consider the Delsarte system, as taught by MT. Puffer, far preferable. His conscientious work and g. complete mastery of the art which he teaches, have rendered his success here unsurpassed by any elocution teacher of whom know.
 CARRIE s. AUSTIN Assistant in Ames Academy. seThe Brown-Delsarte system, lifting elocu- ton as it does to the plane of the fine arts, is itself a recommendation to those who have il their own. MT. Puffer comes to the work at a teacher, not as mere specialist but from the upper plane of thorough collegiate train. ing. In short time, through class and pri- vate pupils, MT.
