ORATORY.

There are three requisites for success, First, knowledge; second, style; third, delivery. By far the most important of these is the first. Before a man can in- form others he must inform himself, Be-

fore he can convince others he must con-j|P

vince himself. Oratory, primarily, is a plain narration, a simple statement. It ought to have for its basis a firm feundation of fact, and upon the facts, or by them, the argument should be reared. No man can conceive correctly, judge justly, think co- berently, reason strictly, without premedi- tation and without practice. There is a popular belief that men can speak without study. It isadelusion. They may emit a copious streain of words, but it will be only words. There will be few ideas. in them. When a speaker has convinced the judg- ment of his audience, he can then appeal to their passions, exhale symbols of every kind, and speak through the most poetic forms. But the most prosaic narrative may be lighted up inits delivery. The speaker can group his figures as in a pic- ture, breathe into them, and give them life. These embellishments, however, are all subsidiary. Sometimes they are not neces- sary, sometimes they are out of place. But a knowledge of the subject and a full state- ment of the facts are always necessary. It is the first essential. Style is, to a large extent, a matter of taste. It may be ornte, it may be concise, or it may be epigram- thatic and be equally effective; but it must be, before everything perspicuous. The language must not be ambiguous or ob- scure: The meaning must appear readily and clearly. It may be animated or it may be elegant. Language may have perspicu- ity and animation without elegance, but it cannot have elegance and animation with- out perspicuity.—Eatract from Joseph Cow- in’s Life and Speeches.

AN EXTRACT FROM LORD MANSFIELD’S JUDG- MENT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS IN 1780, IN AN APPEAL CASE NOBLY VINDICATING THE RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE.

There is no usage or custom independent of positive law which makes Nonconfurmity acrime. The eternal principles of natural religion are part of the common law ; the essential principles of revealed religion are part of the common law, —so that any per- son reviling, subverting or ridiculing them miy be prosecuted at commonlaw. But it cannot be shown from the principles of natural or revealed religion that, indepen- dent of positive law, temporal] punishments

they accept, punish them; if they refuse, punish them; if they say yes, punish them; if they say no, punish them. My Lords, this is a most exquisite dilemma, from -which there is no escaping; it is a trap a aan cannot get out of;—it is as bad perse- -cution as that of Procrustes: if they are too short, stretch them; if they are too long, op them,

OLD SAYINGS AND THEIR AUTHORS—CON- TINUED.

Ad Graecas Kalendas.—‘** At the Greek Kalends.” The Kalends formed a division

of the Roman month which had no place in

the Greek reckoning of time. The phrase was therefore used by the former to denote that the thing could never happen.

De mortius nil nisi bonum.—‘* Of the dead let nothing be said but what is favor- able.” This long received maxim is by some not improperly amended by substitut- ing veram for bonum,—* Let nothing be said but what is true.

Il wy a que le premier pas qui coute.— French proverb: ‘The only difficulty is the first step ; it is only the first step that gives trouble.” The French proverb is often quoted erroneously, thus: ‘* Cest le premier pas quin coute.”

Impossible ! c'est le mot dun fore! ‘* Im- possible, that is the word of a fool, a mad- man !”—Words spoken by the Great Na- oleon.

L’etat !—c’est moi !—** The State! I am the State !"—The phrase of Louis the Fourteenth, of France.

Eripetcinlo fulmen, sceptrumque tyrannis. —‘*The matched lightning from Heaven, and the sceptre from tyrants.” This was the exergue of a medal struck in honor of Benjamin Franklin, when Ambassador from the United States to France. The allusion is to his discovery that the electrical fire and that of lightning are absolutely the same, and to the eminent share .which he had in establishing the independence of Am- erica, his native country.

Our Book Table.

The August number of Harper's New Monthly Magazine, published by Harper and Brothers, of New York, contains the second paper of a midsummer trip to the West Indies; and if anything could recon- cile the dissatisfied with our Garden Pro- vince, a few paragraphs from this account ought to suffice. Martinique has a festive snake. It is the Vipere Fer-de-Lance. He is in eight varities and each has a triangular head. Sometimes he assumes the form of a beautiful yellow flower, sometimes he seems to be part of a bright bunch of ban- anas, or he may become 4 dark yellow or 4 yellowish brown, or the color of wine bees speckled with pink and black, or a perfect ash tint, or black with a yellow belly, or black with a rose belly, imitating the hues of tropical moulds, of old bark, of putrefy- ing trees and other forest detritus. The iris of the eye is orange, with red flashes, and at night glows like incandescent char- coal. This playful occidental Thanatophi- dian, when on strike, begins with necrosis of the tissues, which puts on corruption, and the flesh tumbles off your bones. It is always everywhere in Martinique, and as its multiplication is prodigious without possible extermination, Martinique must be sadly in want of the missionary powers of a St. Patrick.

The second paper of Maiwa’s Revenge, illustrated, closes that story.

The Holstein-Friesian Cattle article is a very valuable showing of the butter value of the Dutch breeds. A Chiswick ramble

ought to be inflicted for mere opinions with respect to. particular modes of worship. Porsecution for a sincere, though erroneous, | conscience is not to be deduced from reason | or the fitness of things. Conscience is not

coutrollable by human laws, nor amenable | p«

to human tribunals. Persecuticn, or at- tempts to force conscience, — will never produce conviction, and are only cal- culated to make hypocrites or martyrs. My Lords, there never was a single instance from the Saxon times down to our own, in which a man was punished for erroneous opinions concerning rites or modes of wor- ship, but upon some positive law. The common law of England, which is only common reason or usage, knows of no per- secution for mere opinions. For atheism, blasphemy, and reviling the Christian reli- gion, there have been instances of persons prosecuted and punished upon the common law; but bare non conformity is no sin by the common law; and all positive laws, in- flicting any pains or penalties for non- conformity to the established rites or modes, are repealed by the Act of Tolera- tion, and Dissenters are thereby exempt from all ecclesiastical censures. What bloodshed and confusion have been occa- sioned from the reign of Henry IV., when the first penal statutes were enacted, down

recalls Hogarth, and other great men of other days ; and as the rest of this number of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine is re- plete with good illustrated prose and etry, there is no difficulty in praising it. Published by Harper & Bros., New York City.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

—_—__a-—_——

A Punster on the Public Square.

Sir,—Can you find room in your popular daily for a very nice little complimentary conundrum, ‘‘on the square,” as well as going around? It is, as your readers will perceive, adjustable to the name of our botanic architect. Where did I get hold of it? I will tell you. A group of strangers, on Friday last, were taking the round of the Square, stowing away some fresh fruit they had obtained in the Market House, evidently as well pleased with what they saw as with what was tickling their palates, One of them was an Islander, the rest some of those restless commercial spirits that periodically swoop down upon their credu- lous clients for business purposes. They

to the revolution in this kingdom by laws!soon dispersed, leaving the Islander be-

made to force conscience! There is nothing certainly more unreasonable, more inconsis- tent with the rights of human nature, more contrary to the spirit and precepts of the Christian religion, more iniquitous and un- just, more impolite than persecution. It is against natural religion, revealed religion,

and sound policy. Such experience and a!

large *mind taught that great man, the President De Thon, this doctrine. Let any man read the many admirable things which, though a papist, hej hath dared to advance on this subject, in the dedication enry LV. of France (which I never read without rapture), and he wiil be fully convinced, not only how cruel but how impolitic it {is to prosecute for religious opinions. There was no oc- casion to revoke the edict of Nantes ; the Jesuits needed only to have advised a plan similar to that which is con- tended for inithe present case ; make a law to render them incapable of office ; muke another law tc punish them for not serving. If they accept, punish them (for it is ad- mitted on all hands that the defendant in the cause before your Lordships is prosecut-

able for taking the office upon him), If

‘hind. Full of the new conundrum he hailed his passing friends to explode it upon ‘them. It was my luck to be hailed, and I iresponded with a ‘“‘ what’sup?” ‘‘A Mone- iton man,” said he, *‘ with some others, was just now lunching here on some fresh fruit and crackers, and asked each of us the follow- ing: ‘ What is it makes the success of this ' display ? All of us soon reached the ‘give ‘it up’ point. ‘It was,’ said he, ‘the ap- | pearance of a new berry among the flowers. Yours truly, Boswa Lt.
