PARLIAMENTARY WIT.


SAMPLES FROM ATTERBURY AND PITT.
From Temple Bari
OF the wit that can convey reproof with
the keencst sting, and yet without giving
offence, unless he who takes IT makes It,
there are numerous examples in both
houses. Tho very best, or certainly
among the very best, of those specin cns,
came, in the Lords, from Bishop After
bury in the Commons, from Pitt The for
mer example Is we'll known, but 1t will
bear recalling to the memory of those who
may have let IL slip from their memorable
liza. Atterbury had observed, of some bill
before tho lords, that he had in previous
session, prophesied that an attempt would
be made to bring in this bill, and he re-
GREETED that his prophecy had come true.
On this, ever clustering and laundering
Coningsby started TO his feet, and ridicuied
the prelate for lkening himself TO
prophet. But for my part, said Con-
| ingsby, al don't know what prophet to
| liken him to, unless it be that furious
prophet Balaam, who was rcproved by his
own ass" To this, ever cool and self pos
sessed, Aterbury replied: "Since the noble
| lord has discovered in our manners such
similtude, / am well content to be COM
pared with the prophet Balaam. But my
| lords, am NJ loss now 10 lnuke out thc
other part of the parallel. l am sure that
I have been reproved BY nobody but his
lordshipl'
The elder Pitt was as brilliant in the
commons as he afterwards became when
earl of Chatham, in the lords. We take
a characteristic one from the commons. In
debate, Mr.. Moreton happened TO say,
"King, lords and commons, adding, as he
looked at Pitt, cor as the honorable gentle
man would prefer to put IL, commons, lords
and king Pitt arose; he had often, he
told the house. been surprised now his
blood ran cold lie moved that the words
be taken down. The clerk of the house

to the speaker protesting that he had
really meant nothing. "King, lords and

and Pitt gravely rejOined Il don't wish
to push the matter further. The moment a
