In fact, of all the wood-saws Wood ever saw saw wood Wood never saw a wood-saw that would saw wood as the wood-saw Wood saw saw wood would saw wood, and I never saw a woodsaw that would saw as the wood-saw Wood saw would saw until I saw Esau Wood saw wood with the wood-saw Wood saw saw wood. Now Wood saws wood with the wood-saw Wood saw saw wood.

PART 2. EXPRESSION

GOOD TASTE

What you habitually read largely determines your taste for literature. If your taste be good, it will manifest itself in your voice and manner, as well as in your language. Reading beautiful and exalted thoughts of great writers tends to impart these same qualities to your character and life. Hence, you will see how important it is to choose only the best authors for your daily reading. The extracts in these lessons have been chosen with particular regard for this need, and you are urged to commit as many of them to memory as possible. Repeated effort to enter into the innermost thought and feeling of these various passages will do more than any other exercise to develop your spiritual and intellectual discernment. These great thoughts bid you to rise to them.

EXAMPLES FOR PRACTISE

1. Think all you speak; but speak not all you think: Thoughts are your own; your words are so no more. Where Wisdom steers, wind can not make you sink: Lips never err, when she does keep the door. "Epigram." HENRY DELAUNE.

2.

How sweet and gracious, even in common speech, Is that fine sense which men call Courtesy! Wholesome as air and genial as the light, Welcome in every clime as breath of flowers, It transmutes aliens into trusting friends, And gives its owner passport round the globe. "Courtesy." JAMES T. FIELDS.

3. But oh! what art can teach,
What human voice can reach
The sacred organ's praise?
Notes inspiring holy love,

Notes that wing their heavenly ways

To mend the choirs above.

"Song for Saint Cecilia's Day."

JOHN DRYDEN.

4. How beautiful this night! the balmiest sigh
Which Vernal Zephyrs breathe in evening's ear
Were discord to the speaking quietude

That wraps this moveless scene. Heaven's ebon vault,
Studded with stars, unutterably bright,

Through which the moon's unclouded grandeur rolls,

Seems like a canopy which love has spread

To curtain her sleeping world.

"Queen Mab."

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY.

5. Two voices are there; one is of the Sea,
One of the Mountains; each a mighty voice:
In both from age to age thou didst rejoice,
They were thy chosen music, Liberty!

There came a tyrant, and with holy glee

Thou fought'st against him, but hast vainly striven:
Thou from thy Alpine holds at length art driven,

Where not a torrent murmurs heard by thee.

Of one deep bliss ear hath been bereft;

Then cleave, oh cleave, to that which still is leftFor, high-soul'd Maid, what sorrow would it be That Mountain floods should thunder as before, And Ocean bellow from his rocky shore,

And neither awful Voice be heard by Thee! "The Two Voices."

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.

6. The day-spring!-see!-'tis brightening in the heavens!
The watchmen of the night have caught the sign-
From tower to tower the signal-fires flash free-
And the deep watch-word, like the rush of seas
That heralds the volcano's bursting flame,

Is sounding o'er the earth.

Bright years of hope

And life are on the wing! Yon glorious bow

Of freedom, bended by the hand of God,

Is spanning Time's dark surges. Its high Arch,
A type of Love and Mercy on the cloud,
Tells, that the many storms of human life
Will pass in silence, and the sinking waves,
Gathering the forms of glory and of peace,
Reflect the undimmed brightness of the Heavens.
"The Flight of Years."

GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

NINETEENTH LESSON

PART 1. DRILL

1. Physical Culture. Place the hands on the hips, the thumbs to back, bend the body forward at the waist, then back to position, then to one side and back, then to the other side and back, and finally describe a circle at the waist.

2. Deep Breathing. Inhale deeply through the nostrils, hold the breath, and gently tap the chest with the palms of the hands. Exhale slowly, fully, and deeply.

3. Voice Exercise. Explode the voice clearly on the elements hē, ha, haw, hah, hō, hoo. Take a breath between each sound and use deep abdominal breathing throughout. Vary the pitch. Remember that the voice grows through

use.

4. Articulation. The following list of difficult words is designed for special practise in syllabication. First utter the separate sounds of the word, then pronounce the word in a natural manner.

Just as the reading of beautiful and exalted thoughts will impart these same qualities to your character, so the reading of daring and courageous deeds will develop in you a high degree of valor. It is well to bear in mind that
