Oratory. hlocutmn," says Mr. Crabb, in his English Synonyms, " is requisite for an ac tor, eloquence for a speaker." " Eloquence lies in the person; it is a natural gilt j oratory lies in tho mode of expression; it is an acquired art. Elo quence speaks one's own feelings; it conies from the heart, and speaks to the heart ; oratory is an imitative art; it describes what is felt by another. " An iifll.cted parent who pleads for the restoration of her child that has been torn from her, will exert her eloquence; a coun selor nt the bar, who ph-nds the cause of li s client, wnl employ oratory. Vulgar partisans nre full ol rhetoric." .. L'l . . i...ii.iieiirc unen consists in a look or an action; oratory must always be accom-puiii.-il with language. " There is a dumb eloquence, which is not denied even lo the brutes, and which s.x-i.ks more than all the studied graces of speech and notion employed by the orj.tor: "Ilia nfi.nl o-finMa pda a mll.ler doom. And a aks w.. h all Hit eloquent of trait." " Between eloquence aud oratory there is the same distinction as la-tween nature and art; the former ran never be perverted to any base pur-mses; it always speaks truth; the latt. r will Hs easily serve the purposes offaW-lmod as of truth." " The iHjIitical partisan, who paints the miseries of the po-.r j ptowinir u,l!nHI!e and artful periods, may often have oratory enough to rxoitH disaatisfaclion ain.i..st th. j government, without hating eloquence to ! describe what he wally feels " uprou is raised on the front side by lucking it to u strip of lumber two inches thick.
