Language ot the Voice,
From the Philadelphia Newt,
Nothing betrays so much as the voice, (are per
haps tbo eyes, hut thoy can bo lowered, and so far
thetr expression hidden.
In moments of emotion no skill can hide tbo
fact of dbturbed feeling, though a strong will and
tho habit ol self control can steady tho voice whoa
ebe It would be falling and tremulous.
Certain voices grate on tho nerves and set our
xth on edge, and othen are just as calm as thoy
ro irritating, quieting, or like a composing
pathetic by constitution.
Whatever Its original quality may bo, tho
orator’s voice bean too unmistakable stamp of art
and becomes artificiality: aa auch It maybead-
mirable—telllngln acrowd.lmprcaslvoln address,
but overwhelming and chilling at home, partly
because It b always conscious and never aelf for-
getting.
Anorator’*voice,, with its careful intonation
and accurate accent, would be aa much out of
’lace beside a sick-bed as* brocaded silk lor tho
ICciiM fftr!.
Tho votco b much more Indicative of tbestato
of tho mind than many pcoplo know or allow.
Ono ol the first symptoms of faillog brain power
b In Indistinct or confused utterance; no Idiot
hMtclearormclodiousvolce; tho harsh scream
ol manta Is proverbial, and no person of prompt
and decisive thought was ever known to hesitate
and atntter.
A thick, loose, finny voice docs not belong to tho
crisp character of mjnd which docs tbo most ac
tive work, and when a keen-witted man drawls
and lets bbworda drip Instead of bringing them
out In tho sharp, ineblve way that ought to bo
natural to him, thero It a flaw somewhere.
