interesting and instruc | tive lecture was delivered in tbe Normal | school, by Me.Andrew, on tbe * Reading of Poetry.\u201d Tie subject was an atteactive one, | and this fact, combined with the acknowlvdged talent of the lecturer, drew a mich larger audie ence than is usually to be found at these meets ing.Me.Aspnew said, since it might be supposed \u2018bat & professional elocutionist would overvalue his art, he would real two extracts from wupro- fessious]l writers, testifying to tbe valie of the art of the elocutionist,==one of these was Mr.Cox, the otlier, the widely-known author, Mrs Ellis.He then showed the fallacy of the pops lar belief, that 11 was an eusy task to become a mud reader.To acyjuire this accomplishment, \u2014tur accomplishment it 15, and something more =i wat no! sullicient that the text should be unierstood.This, of course, was the first requisite, and the experienced reader could, through the eye, take in Wr meaning, in advance of its attempted expression by the tongue.Tkis a; prehension ot the meaning wight be obtained by the learner, duriny the brief instants * afforded by the grammaiical pauses.But to real profitably it wag necessary to read pleasant.Iy na well as correctly.In striving te do this, most people fell inton sort of sing-song or tilt, instead of causing the intonation to become an echo tothe sense.Another, and most prevalent error, Was 1 uniform downward tendency of the voice atthe conclusion of every sentence.But this continued downward cadence was pot the natural ane, for, in explaining or app-alinzg, the course of the voice is upward.It was neces.sury that the teacher should cause (ic voice to be trained to à firm and disiinet utterance .and they, when 13 had by \u2018trs training become at once firm and texible, it was ready to he the mind's eheient minister, and the well-tuned organ for the «xpresgion of the varied emotions which move the beart.Accent and rhythm entered into all sprech, whether 1t was the spontaneous tluw of conversation, the premeditated compusi- tion of the prose writer, or the half-couscivusty inspired verse of the poet.Rbyilw, wbich wight be considered ag the articulative process .regulating the rhetorical movement, might be tiem,equable, wavering, irregular.\u2014might have, in fine, every characteristic of the human gait, The werhuaical perfection ot verse lay iu the coincidence of sense with uccent and rhythtw - aud, as an illustration of this, the lecturer read Campbell's poem, * The Exile of Erin,\" also \u201cThe Two Vagrar tomarkable and grimly facetious poetic production by Trowbridge, an American author, aud whicl appeared some time ago in the * Atlantic Maganige.* The mere punctuation was a very imperfect guide to correct reading, though it had been wont to he considerc| as nearly all-enfficient and infallible.fiat the management of the breathing was of considerable importance, and for this parpase the stops might be taken advantage of, though no need for à punetilions observance of the intervals supposed to bu represented hy them.Tue chief use of the pauses was to enable the reader to group the ideas.After some remarks on the more prowinent parts of speech, embodied in every group, the lecturer lucidiy explained tbe nature and importance of emphasis.This last element of rene Inw of Cannda Poe's pr of» The Belle,\u201d was bkewiee pend Mr, Andrew and theee Of Lis joipils, Maser: rt, Dawsan, aud Cochrane, ene taking a i fap Vel, al the silver, golden, brazen, al iron belle un voices not un-ymuolieal these of theron petals, This vaut the maoat +\" Ure deitatiorool the evening.17 te silver dell tind each ued, the gobivn delighted, mod tie brisen nlarmed the listeners, the tolling of the run one, in the deepe-t tone of the heturer s maguiicen voice, resembliog, ut Jengtd, the rumblin: of the distant thunder, insp.red every one wit.awe, To say, in the caf phrase of the day, that the rendering of that wild and nnearthly last verge\u2014which want of space slog: hinders us from quoting\u2014rcreated a sensation, would be but to speak the truth.This may, or may uot, be high praise, Lat :Le effect was most sigral, and the beat proof of cuprect conc (tion and powerful execution.Mr.WitLianzon, the Secretary of the Teachers\u2019 Association, in moving à vols ct thanks to the lecturer, acknowledged in warm terms the great elocutionary merits which hud been shown in the rendering of the illustrations, and likewise contess-d that, at the present moment, teachers themselves required to be wught the ples and practice of the reader's art, Principal Dawson, who presidi
