SPEAKERS.
A speaker should put his character into what he says. So many speakers, like so many faces, have no individuality in them.
SPEAKING AND TALKING.
There is often a striking contrast between a man's style of writing and of talking,—for which I offer this explanation: He ponders what he writes; he talks without system. As an author, therefore, he is sententious; as a conversationist, loose and verbose;—or the reverse of this may be true.
SPEECH.
Language was given to us that we might say pleasant things to each other.
PREVAILING STYLES.
In literary performances, as in Gothic architecture, the taste of the age is largely in favor of the pointed styles. Our churches and our books must bristle all over with points, or they are not so much thought of.
SUNDAY.
The poor man's rich day.
