How I loved

That gracious boy! Younger by fifteen years,
Brother at once and son! He left my side,
A summer bloom on his fair cheek; a smile
Parting his innocent lips. In one short hour
That pretty, harmless boy was slain! I saw
The corse, the mangled corse, and then I cried

For vengeance! Rouse, ye Romans! Rouse, ye slaves.
Have ye brave sons?-Look in the next fierce brawl
To see them die. Have ye fair daughters? Look
To see them live, torn from your arms, disdained
Dishonored; and, if ye dare call for justice,
Be answered by the lash.

Yet this is Rome

That sat on her seven hills, and from her throne
Of beauty ruled the world! And we are Romans.
Why, in that elder day, to be a Roman
Was greater than a king!

And once again,—

Hear me, ye walls that echo to the tread
Of either Brutus! Once again, I swear
The eternal city shall be free. Her sons
Shall walk with princes ere to-morrow's dawn
The tyrants—

That to the city and the plain,
Proclaim the glorious tale

Of Rome reborn, and freedom.

Hark—the bell, the bell!

See the clouds are swept away, and the moon's boat of

light

Sails in the clear blue sky, and million stars

Look out on us, and smile

Hark! that great voice

Hath broke our bondage. Look, without a stroke

The keys are at our feet. Alberti, friend—

The capitol is won-the gates unfold

How shall I pay the service? Citizens!

First to possess the palace citadel

The famous strength of Rome, then to sweep on,
Triumphant through her streets.

Oh, glorious wreck

Of gods and cæsara! thou shalt reign again
Queen of the world; and I,-come on, come on,
My people!

III. Pausation

Pausation is the suspension of speech and continuity of thought. It is the process of the mind in the struggle for the birth of a new idea; and in proportion as the mind has recreated a new idea by the laws of association (memory), will the voice show spontaneously this mental change; and thus, one who has had some experience in life will be able to present the lines he is giving to his audience more truthfully. Therefore, the length and frequency of pauses show the intensity of thinking. It is the lifting of a hammer before the blow is struck. It is the groping in the unknown for the known. Pausation is the opportunity for the speaker to receive the new idea, and the auditor to understand or receive the spoken idea. One does not pause in order to think. The pausation is brought in only to allow the imagination to play upon the new or conceived successive idea, and to give it true color and setting.

In the following psalm, you will note the desire of the individual, if he is concentrating fully upon the successive ideas, such as:-"The Lord is My Shepherd" to pause after having made that one declaration! It seems as though the mind acts and reacts, and in its reaction doubles its force, thereby creating the new idea in its cessation of speech, "I shall not want." Then comes the next great idea of giving you the privilege in the command, "He maketh me to lie down. Then comes the pause, and the question immediately arises in your mind, where? and the

answer comes directly, "In green pastures." Then, again, in this pause comes the question of the idea that "He leadeth me," and the question then comes in the mind:Where does He lead me? In what place will He lead me? The answer then immediately comes, which is born out of that pause, "beside the still waters." 'Then comes, "He restoreth my soul." Again comes the question of further leading each one:—“He leadeth me in paths." What kinds of paths? "of righteousness. Then comes the question-Why does He lead me in paths of righteousness, and the answer comes out of the silence, "for His name's sake." Then, the mind changes and gets more personal; "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death;" then comes the great answer of that great situation:-"I will fear no evil." Then comes another pause which creates interrogation; and this is answered, “for Thou art with me;" again, the mind questions through pause: In what way is He with me? "Thy rod-and something else-Thy staff;" the mind then asks, what are they for and what will they do? And out of the silence comes:-"They comfort me;" and after the comfort comes, "Thou preparest the table before me." Then, in the Master's endeavor to show His preference or loyalty, and appreciation of the earnest speaker, “He places it in the presence of mine enemies. Then He bestows the great honor which is symbolical of His blessings upon them by "Anointing my head with oil." Again comes the significant pause in the mind, which should reveal a most marvelous transformation of the speaker, for "my cup runneth over." This pause previous to the birth of the new idea should create in the voice a joy akin to sorrow, following which he should be dominated by the most wonderful assurance that it is possible for man to conceive. In the declaration of not only "Surely goodness," but also “and

mercy will follow me all the days of my life:" and now comes the call for a decision in not only the mind of the speaker, but of every auditor within the scope of his voice: -"For I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

IV. Pulsation

Pulsation is the rhythmic footfall of the mind upon the central thought word of each successive idea; that is, in every idea there is a central word, which is the germ word; and which reveals more of the truth contained in that idea than any other word, and the mind naturally will grasp that central thought word; and in its successive concentrated efforts to seize the thought word, the voice naturally shows that word to be more important than the other words in that idea, thus forming links, which make the chain of the story.

"Build to-day, then, strong and sure, with a firm and ample base;

And ascending and secure shall to-morrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain to those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, and one boundless reach of sky."

"Worcester, get thee gone, for I do see
Danger and disobedience in thine eyes.

You have good leave to leave us; when we need
Your use and counsel, we shall send for you."

Longfellow.

Shakespeare.

"Being above all beings! Mighty One,
Whom none can comprehend, and none explore,
Who fill'st existence with Thyself alone,-
Embracing all, supporting, ruling o'er,—
Being whom we call God, and know no more!

Derzhavin.

BREAK, BREAK, BREAK

"Break, break, break,

Alfred Tennyson.

On thy cold, gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.

O well for the fisherman's boy,

That he shouts with his sister at play!
O well for the sailor-lad,

That he sings in his boat on the bay!

And the stately ships go on

To their haven under the hill:

But oh! for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!

Break, break, break,

At the foot of thy crags, O sea!

But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me."

V. Colorization

Colorization reveals the soul of the symbol, as for instance, when we say a thing is black, there should be some color of darkness or blackness in the voice. When we say that we hate a man, there should be the element of hate in the voice; not as is spoken by the majority of people. They will come to you and say, "I hate you," whereas they mean, "I love you. One will say, "I am very happy" with tears rolling down his cheeks, which is an absolute falsehood. There is no way to reveal the absolute appreciation and understanding of an idea so well as through colorization. No one will be able to thoroughly appreciate, and follow a speaker unless that speaker has
