My Lady's Satchel

[Ry Te Kawana,

Before my Lady waved adieu this Thursday, she tossed me a thicken-, velope inscribed with my name. I opened it f»6 I walked away, and found within, tha following notes bearing this superscription. • For an ambi-1 tious youth who is studying elocution all by himself, poor hoy !' Rules for readers. Hold the book in the left hand, turn the pages with the right Keep the book flatly open, not too near the face but sufficiently high to secure perfect vision without any bending of the neck or body

Open the month gently, raise the ehpst before beginning; take breath silently at every pause

Pronouuce one thought at a time, tad do not run together clauses that havt no mutual reference

"'''3si worcUiexpraisiva.of, each mam^ be? of a, seutepce—^subject, predicate, or ,oirosiinßt»n«e-rtStiOttld be accentu ally uaited, and the members, theaa; ielvi 8 k«pt distinct 0b not keep tha eye constantly fixed on the page, bat carry the words of a clause in your mind, and address the eye to your hearers Do not pronounce the last word or clause of a page until you have turned ov?r th« leaf, lest you sever words connected in satsae. To a reader the words precede and dictate the thought, and constant care and discernment is necessary to discover precisely the thought intended ts be expressed, and so to collocate the words as neither to separate those which should be accen tually associated, nor to unite those which are unconnected in sense. The moat important grammatical words are not necessarily the principal or em phatic words in a sentence. Exercises for the voice .'—Pronounce the names of the days of the weeks, tha months of the year, or a series of numbers, dire, with an opening of the teeth before, and a pause after, each word. Pronounce the following lalical syllables rapidly and distinctly, without any action of the nostrils, or super* fioous motion of the lips ; vary the voiop, and shift the accent :—Pe, bo, dip, £c, ye, whe, we, ip, ib, im, if, ir. Pronounce the following lingual syllables rapidly and distinctly, with the teeth open, and without any action of the Hpa or protrusion of the tongue, give rocal and accentual variety :- —Te, de, ne, le, re, the, it, id, in, il, ith. Pronounce each of tho following difficult combinations of syllables five or six times, without any superfluous motion of the articulating organs, vary the accents and tones :—-Ip, i 1", ip, ik, it ik, it ip, ik it, ik ip, ip if, if ip, it ith, if ith, ith if, ith isß, iss ith, ith iss, ish ith, isa ish, ish iss, im in, in im, in in?, ing in, im ing, ing ira, thith sis, bis thith, pip tit, tit pip, kik tit, kik pifc, nirrin Hnnil, nirril rinnil, rillin lirrin, nillin lirri!.

Repeat several times quickly and with firm accentuation :—Five wives wfifwa withs ; put the cut pumpkin in a pigskin ; the sun shines on the shop signs ; she soils eea shells ; literally literary ; some shun sunshine ; a shot silk sash shop. And if, atter having gone through all this performance, your poor throat needs lubricating, do as we used to do when children, get old Maggie to let you have the use of her stove and a saucepan and make yourself some Everton toffee or butter-scotch. I have written out the recipes for both.

Everton Toffee—-Put into very clean saucepan lib white sugar add oue cup of water, wbi'o this dissolves beat but ter to a cream, add thig, and stir over the fire until a little of the mixture will sefc if put upon a - butter-plate. Butter a tin plate and pour out, but before pouring out add essence of lemon if you approve.

Buttpr Scotch is made with brown sugar instead of white, omitting water, and Etvoaring with of powdered ginger or any essence you like.

A FOREOAST-1877. She is nofc yet; bu6 be whose ear Thrills to that finer atmosphere, Where footfalls of appointed things, Reverberant of days to be, Are heard in forecast echolnge, Like the wave-beats from a view loss sea— Hears in the voiceful tremora of the sky Auroral heralds whispering, * &he is nigh, 1 She is nob yet; but he whose sight Foreknows the advent of the light, Whose soul to morning radiance turns Ere night her curtain .hath with drawn, And in its quivering folds discerns Th« mate monitions of the dawn, With argent eei.se strained onward to descry Her diataut tokens, gtarSis to find Her nigh. Already here to hearts interne, A spirit force, transcending eenee, In heights unscalad, in deeps un stirred, Beneath the calm, above the storm, She waits the incorporating word To bid her tremble into form. Already, like devining rods, men's souls Btad down to where the un&een river rolls; For even as, Irom eight concealed By never flush ot dawn revealed, Nor e'er illumed by golden noon, .Nor snnset-atteaked with crimson bar, Nor bilver-spanned by w%ke of moon, Nor visited of any star, Beneath these lands a river waits te bless (So mon divine) oar utmost wilderness,— Bolls dark, bat yet shall know our skies, Soon »r the wisdom of the wise Conspires with nature to disclose The blessing prisoned and tm •aen, Till round our lessening wastes their glows A perfect aono of broadening green, Till all our land, Australia Felix called, Become one Continent-lele of Emerald ; So flows bsneath our good and ill A viewless stream of Common Will, A eathering force, a present mlghfc, T,.ab from its silent depths of gloom, At Wisdom's voice shall leap to light, And hide our barren feods in bloora^ Till all oar sundering lines with love o'er grown., Qar bonds shall be the girdling seas alont,

Six Months in Bed in the Wellington Hospital and Undergoes an Operation, but v Plantekoa' cures Him, also cures His Daughter of Chicken Pox, Victoria Street, Petone, Nov. 22, '99. To Proprietors, Pia.itekoa Remedies. Dear Sirs,—-For ovei- three years I have suffered from Bydatids acd hnlargtmenr of the Liver. Two years ago I was admitted to the Wellington Hospital, and after car. ful and thorough examination by the doctors, it was decided that I should undergo an operation. My condition at that time was very low, my liver being swollen to such au extent that the doctor outlined it on th« skin with a pencil. I remained in the Hospital six months, most of the tima oitfined to my bed, and although every attestion was bestowed upon me by che doctors and oi hera, 1 left that inatitutioa very licle improved in health. However, 1 resumed my usual occupation at the loc*l Gasworks, but, i shortly after waa compelled to ley up j again, this time with Jaundice in addition to ray old complaint. You can readily understand my condition was awful. I suffered terribly with paiD in the stomach and bowels. The feeling U6ed to be of a sinking nature, with gnawing sensations in the pit of the stomach, usually coming on about an hour after meals. No medicine I tried did me any permment good» until I used your wonderful PLANTEKOA. I. This medicine seemed to attack the disease ! almost at onse, and atter giving it a fair trial, it baa fulfilled my highest expecta tions. The pain at the stomach iB gone, my liver has resumed its natural state, the jaundice has disappeared, and my skin te now quite clear. My appetite ia splendid, and I can eat and sleep and work now with pleasure and comfort. I might also add to this note that while nsiog Plantekoa, we gave some to our little girl, who had the chicken pox very badly. In coojanc tion with Plantekoa Olntmenr, a cure was soon brought about. I give you this testimonial of my own free will, and shall be pleased to answer any enquiries relative to my case, either personally or by letter. (Signed} Stewart Dtjmdas Gordon.
