Head Aloud. Besdioz aloud is oue of those exercises e which combine menial and mnaeolar effort, nd hence has a double advantage. To * read aloud well, a pee*an— ahquld not only or, demand tbe subject, but should hear his usd voice, and" feel ssithin-bim that y every syllable was' distinctly enunciated, while there is en instinct presiding which modulates tbe voice tw the bomber apd ilise tance of tbe bearers. Every public speaker j ought to be able to trll whether he is di— s t ncily heart by tbe farthest auditor in the rqprii ; if be is not, it is from a want of t proper judgment and observation. e Reading alood helps to develop the lungs ' just as -ingiug does, if pinpeily performed. 1 Tbe effect is to induce the drawing of a * lung brrnlh every once iu a while, ofleuer I | and deeper than of rending without enun. • : ciating. These deep inhalation* oeeer fail • J to develop tbe capacity of the lungs in diJ | rect proportion to their practice. i (,'ommon consumption begins nniformly with imperfect, insufficient breathing; it is ! 'l the characteristic of the di*en>n that the! , breath nrcono s sboiWr aud shorter through ' _ I weary months, down to the close of life, i and whatever counteract* that *bort breath- I | iog, whatever promotes deeper io*pii»tions I ' ! in curative to that exteol, inevitably and J under ell circumstance'. L"t any person > r make the experiment by reading lliis page ; , uloml, and in le*s ihan three minutes the ] instinct oi a long hreaib will show ilself. | # Tois reading aloud develops a weak vdica ! and makes u sonoroos. It has great rfficien'cy, al»o, in making the tones clear and ! p distinel, freeing them from that annoying : j hoarsaness which tlie unaccn*tomed reader exhibits beforu he has gone over half a j psge, wber. be bas to stop and cltaraway, f to tbe confusion of himself as mucb us that of the sulyject. t This loud reading, when properly done, , has a great a.-ency in inducing vocal power, , ou tlpt same principle that muscles tre r Strengthened by exercise ; those of voicemaking orgsns being no exception to the geueral rule. Hencu in many esses, abso- , lole sdeoce diminishes tbe vocal power, ! I just "as the protracted non-u*e of lb# arm . of tbb Hindoo devotee at length paraltz -s , it forever. Tho general plan, in upproI pristu coses. -is to read aloud in a conversationnl ton*, thrice a day, for s minute, or two. or three nt time, increasing a minute f every other day. until half sn hour is thus , speut at a lime, thrice a- d*y, which is j ' to be continued until the desired object is : accomplished. Managed thus, there is ! . safety and efficiency aa a uniform remit, j jj As a means, then, of health, of averting j ' consumption, , of being social and enter- j s taining in any company, as a means of (bowing the qnality of the mind, let reed, j f ing aluud he consi-iered ao accomplishment J . far more indispensable than thai of smal- , tering French, or lisping Italian, or dan- „ cing cotillions, gallopades, polkas and . quailrilles. — Haiti Journal of lltnllh. !'
