BITS OF REPARTEE.

Where Pat Would BE If the Gibbet Had
Done Its Duty.
Repartee is sudden flash. It is turning
a current OF thought in an opposite direc-
ton. It is the upsetting of train OF
thought. 1t is really deforming thought.
Repartee is a case where one speaker makes
a plain statement aimed in certain di-

And if you buy this thing and wear it you
will wish you had bought something else
and worn it. And the frets Of such a life
viii bring the crows feet to your temples
before they are due, and when you come
to die you will have miserable time.
My friends, we must appear in judgment
to answer for what we have worn on
our bodies as well as for what repentances
we have excised with our souls. On that
day see coming in Beau Brummel of the
last century, without his cloak, like which
all England got a cloak; and without his
cane, like which all England got caue;
with out his snuff box, like which all En-
gland got snuff -box-he, the fop of the
ages, particular about everything but
his morals; and Aaron Burr, with
out the letters that down to old age he
showed in pride, to prove his early
wicked gallantries; and Absalom without
his hair; and March ioness Pompadour
without her titles; and Mrs. Arnold, the
belle of Wall street, when that was the
center of fashion, without her fripperies
of vesture.
And in great haggardness they shall go
away into eternal expatriation: while
among the queens of Heavenly society
will be found Vashti, who wore the mod
est veil before the palatial bacchanalians;
and Hannah, who annually made a little
coat for Samuel at the temple; and Grand.
mother Lois, the ancestress of Timothy,
who initiated her virtue; and Mary, who
gave Jesus Christ to the world; and
many of you, the wives and mothers and
sisters and daughters of the present
Christian Church who, through great
tribuiation. are entering into the kingdom
of God. Christ announced who would
make up the royal family of heaven, when
he said:

same is my brother. my sister. nay mothsrs

Cashmeres of thousand dollars each are
not rare on Broadway. 1t is estimated
that there are 5000 women in these two
cities who have expended on their personal
array $1,000 year.
What are the men to do in order to keep
up such home wardrobes? Steal-that is the
only respectable thing they can do. Dur
ing the last fifteen years there have been
innumerable fine business men sbipwrecked
on the wardrobe. The temptation comes
in this way: A man thinks more of his
family than all the world outside, and
if they spend the evening in describ-
ing to him the superior ward
robe of the family across the street
that they can not bear the sight of, the
man is thrown on his gallantry and his
pride Of family, and without translating
his feelings into plain language he goes
into extortion and issuing of false stock
and skillful penmanship in writing some
body else's name at the foot of a promis-
sorry note; and they will go down together

the sewing machine, the children to be
taken care OF by those who were called
