Different Styles of Orators.
Professor Alien, of the Central College of -the
Slate of New York, recently delivered an oratory
which wo have not seen, but from which (he Cleve
land True Democrat quotes largely. Wo transfer
to our culumt one nr two of the extracts. lie says :
41 Julias Ctesar wan one of Rome's greatest orators,
and, had he given liis attention exclusively to the
nti, woold doubtless have surpassed him whose
name shed so much lustre on the Roman history.—
Cesar woe a man of wonderful genius. The Ro
mans thought him a god; and. I was n bout to say.
well they might: for judged in the light of mind, ss
comprehensive ss flexible, as comprehensive ond an
intense os both, Rome never produced his equal ”
After giving “ the plan of Demosthenes’ master
piece,” Prof. Allen says :
“ Demosthenes and Cicero aru (he opposites in
style, ' If Demosthenes be the prince of orators,
then one may attain to tho highest position in the
art, and yet be almost entirely deficient in ideality.
Demosthenes deals in logic and fuels. Ilia nrgu
mentation is iron linked ; and when ho amites.it in
as though he wielded one of tho thunderbolts of
Jove. Cicero, on the other hand, in loss strong, hut
more graceful, grander, and more magnificent. The
one speaks in sentences, short, vivid, and of light
ntng stroke ; the oilier, in sentences long.onsy. flow
ing and majestic.—Tho stale endangered, or in
emergencies generally, Demosthenes is superior io
Cicero, because more vehement ‘ and rapid, Ho so
constructs his sentences, nlso, as to demolish as wilh
a comauming flee, everything which opposes him.—
lie is vindictive, sarcastic, severe, terrible.''
Having copied a passage each from Demosthenes
a nd Cicero, tho Professor adds :
•• By this comptrisoo of extracts, you will perceive
that in beauty and harmony of diction, Cicero is
superior to Demosthenes. There is about (bo Ro
man power of insinuation, a worming of ono’a self
into the sflcctiuus, which the great Grecian docs not
possess. To sum up in a few words, tho compari
son between these two lights ancient history, it uuy
be said lint Cicero wins. Demosthenes compels."
Here is one of his touches of Webster, which i«
none liic worse for our thinking it is slightly tinged
with hyperbole .
The most eminent orator which America in her
prosperous days has produced, is unquestionably
Daniel Webster ; snd the greatest speech viewed ar
liatlcally. wbicli has ever been delivered on the A
moricon Continent, is his reply to II iyne. • •
••Compared with CUy, Webster is less s genius
so f«r as gCnlus lies in contrlvnncy and Ihe ability
lo load, but a man of more magnnificenl talent.—
This superUli.vcl; great and superlatively bad man
of America is eminently an ex pounder and defon*
der, not a leader and aggressor. The speeches of
Webster are destined to {lll a Urge and important
place in the history of America literature ; and not
only so, some hundred years beneo will be read with
more eagerness than nofc. In reading, we m.iy
separate the thought and (ho man, but* the human
mind is so constructed that it cannot thus deal with
the speaker who live* his history amongst us. As
models nf a stylo uniting beautifully the simple and
(he majestic, the speeches of Wchslci aro unsurpas.
*ed, and, 1 believe, unsurpassable.”
Prof. Allen epesks of Loots Kossolh •# the" great
est of orators, wholhei of ancient or [of)
date.” Hero is a more dash of hie brush at the
Hungarian's picture :
a Judging him from the speeches which I hove
read, I should regard him. ss I have already aaid,
tunorior lo any orslor. who hse ever spoken, wheth
er of ancient or modern date. True, ho does not

tute a symmetry which Is Car better than sny exclu
sive prominence of any of the fsoultlea of cither rho
torto or logic, while in exuberance of fancy and
glowing imagination, he certainly never had an
equal.”
Prof. Allen’* opinion of a Now England orslor.
whose elocution, wo think, is as admirable as his
eloquence, Is thus expressed :
»• WAndelle Philips Is well known as emphaileally
the orator of NSW England. He has a vigorous de
clsmntion. which is well setoff by a matchless beau
ly of diction. Indeed, no orator in America bolter

WEALTH.
Tho error of life into which man moat readily
falls, is iho pursuit of wealth as the highest good
of existence. While richest command respect
win position, and secure comfort, it is expected
that they will be regarded by all classes only with
a strong^and 'fansatlsfiod desire. Rut the undue
reverence which is everywhere manifested for
wealth, the rank which is conceded it, iho homage
which is paid it, the perpetual worship which is
offered it, all lend to magnify its desirableness tjnd
awaken longings for its possession in the minds
of those bofn without inheritance. In society as
at present observed, the acquisition of money
would seem lo bo the height of human aim—the
great object of living, to which ali other purposes
are made subordinate. Money, which plaits the
lowly, and sheds honor upon the exalted—money,
which makes sin appear goodness, and gives to
viciousness (he seeming of chastity— money,
makes silence evil report, and opens wide the
mouth of praise—money, which contyUules its
possessor an oracle, to whom men listen with def
erence—money, which makes deformity beautiful,
and sacrifices crime—money, which Ids the guilty
go unpunished, and wins forgiveness for wrong
money, which manhood and age .respect, and its I
commendation surety, and good name for the!
young—iiow shall it be gained 1 by whaf schemes
gaihered in 1 by what sacrifice secured 1 These j
are the questions which absorb the mind, the |
practical answerings of which engross the life of (
men. Too schemes are too often those of fraud, :
and murage upon the sacred obligations of being ;
sacrifice, loss of the highest moral sense, the ne- ]
gleet of internal life and development, the utter
and sad perversion of the true purposes of e.\«s- j
tence. Money is valued beyond its worth—it has [
gained n power vastly above its deserving. j
Wealth is coyrled so obsequiously, is Haltered |
so servilely, is so influential in moulding opinions •
and judgment, has such a weight in the eetimn-l
lion ol chaiHCter, that men reward its acquisition
as the most prudent aim of their endeavors, ami j
its possession as absolute enjoyment and honor,
rather than the means of honorable, useful and
happy hie. While riches are thus over-estima
ted, and hold such power in community, men will
forego ease and endure toil, sacrifice social pleas- |
uren and abandon principle, tor iho speedy and ,
unlimited acquirement of properly. Money will |
not be regarded as the means of living, but as the I
object ol life. All nobler ends will bn neglected j
in the eager haste to he rich. No higher pursuit
will bo recognized than iho pursuit of gold—no
niiamment deemed so desirable as the attainment
, of wealth. While the great man of every rirele
r is the rich man, in tlio common mind wealth be
comes the synonyms of greatness. No condition
1 is discernible superior lo that w Inch money con
fers; no lofiirr idea of manhood is entertained
than that which embraces the extent of one’s pos
sessions.
A year or Iwo since, a Mr. B- ■, was elected
to represent the town of Shelburne, Ni’w Haven,
in xhe legislature. He was n plain, old fanner.'

frock and trnwsers of genuine dapple’-gray home

substantial cow-hide. As Mr. U—— entered the j
lobby, there were several young “ members” I
giamlino about ilie fire, and supposing llio new

G. Keep her m the darkest ignorance of ihc mys

7. Initiate her ihto (he principle that it Is vul

Evert Man to his Caluno.—-The following anec
dote is related of Mr. Willard, tho venerable clock
maker of Boston, when on a visit to the VVliiiu House,
in Madison’s administration, m hen ho was treated
by tli.il excellent President with much more atten
tion than his want of lime usually allowed ; fur Mr.
I Willard was quite as remarkable in his own way .is
I (be Chief Magistrate himself. Mr. Madison look
great pains to show him the plants and (lowers,
mentioning < heir scientific names as ho won! along.
Mr. Willard, who was ignorant of botany, foil rather
til at eaaeTiodor his want of knowledge, and did not
recover bis self possession until returning to Iho
President’s private parlor, ho was shown a clock of
very cosily nnd curious workmanship, and asked if
he could pul it in good repair. With quiet smile po
culiar to him, ho removed Iho works from the case,
and in a few minutes liar multitudinous parts were
scattered in apparently hopeless confusion over Iho
President’s table. *My friend, my friend, my gpod
friend!' exclaimed Mr. Uwbal have you
