Lifo's Highways.
As It is everybody's ambition to gain
fame and prominence as public
speaker, and as it is in line with our
principles to foster and forward every
laudable ambition, we take this oppor-
tunity to set before our readers certain
sample lots of public speakers, pro-
cured Mt great pains and immense ex-
pense, and we trust that every one of
our readers will find something in the
lot that will suit his predictions and
prejudiccs. 1t igt .......
Exhibit 1, and perhaps the most serv-
iceable in tie entire invoice, is war
ranted to give satisfaction under all
conditions and in any kind Of climate.
1t is very durable. 1t will wear like
iron. This speaker is stately, rotund,
deliberate and perfectly sound in wind
and action. His sentences are of un-
varying length and all very long.
They are uttered in delightfully."- uni
form tone of voice, which moves in bill
lowy grandeur, like this. -
| -; the movement being kept up un-
| till the end of the sentence is reached,
when theJ voice is permitted to curve
gracefully upward, thus: =. This
gives an opportunity for taking breath
before recommending the billow busi-
ness. This speaker is warranted to
run for any time desired, from half an
hour to all day. Any person really de-
sirious of something superior will do
well to snap this up before it is taken
by somebody else. HIN EEE
| Exhibit 2. This is rapid speaker
It Is not so much in request as exhibit
I, but it has its especial merits. The
chief of these consists in the inability
of the hearer to understand what the
speaker is saying, for the former il
therefore unable TO reply to the argu
ments of the rapid speaker. if the rapid
speaker think it worth while to indulge
Id such unnecessary expedients and i
the hearer does make the attempt ant
apparently gets the better of the rapic
speaker. the rapid speaker has tn,
power of denying that he said an.
thing that the other said he said-anC
who, pray, Is to know whether he dit
or notp The manner of working tn,
rapid speaker is to seize a sentence b.
the butt, as you would a horse-whip
and by a sudden and adroit movemen
snap out the rest of it in one time AM
one motion. This will require som
practice. You would better begin will
detached sentences. When, you hav
so far succeeded as to be able to ute

in one syllable, you will have gone yer,
far on your way toward perfection as
rapid speaker.
Exhibit is of the mumbling variety

the words you want to use. This vii

Exhibit 8. This is retailer {

of the heavy stock we have on hand
Exhibit 6. This is machine tbs

Exhibit 7. All! this is somethin
