Wit In Parliament

-Of tbo 4Hi tVat can convey reprooí with the kcencst sting, aml yet without giving offense, unloss he who takes it uiakes it, thero are nunierous pxamples in botb houses. ïhc very liost, or certainly moma tbo very bost, of theso specimens oatue, u tbe Ion'?, trom Bishop tori iry, in the connnonp, from Pitt. The fonner ox:imi)lu is well known, but it will boar reculling to the memory of of those who may havo let it slip from thoir memorabilia. Atterbury had u'oservedof some bill before the Lord, that he haj, in n previo js session, prophesiod that an attempt would bo nuvdo to bring tn this bill ; and he regretted that this prophecy had come true. On this cvery blustenug and blundering Coningsby started to his i'eet, and ridic.ulod tho prelute for Iikeriing himself to a prophet. " But, for my part," said Coningsby, " I den't know what prophet to liken him to, unless it be that funous prophet Balaam who .was reproved by his own nss " To this, ftvc.y cool and gelf-poSsésáéd tterbury replied : " Sinco theiioble lard lias discovered in our inanncrs such a similitude, I aux woll content to be compared with tho pfophet Balaam. But, my lord, 1 am at a less how to mako out the -other part of tho parallel. I am sim; that I have been roproved by nobody but his lordship ! " No ONi'. Tiocd. prido himsr.lf upon genius, for it is the fn e giït of (Jod ; but of honest indnstry and true devotion to his destiny any uiftn may be proad ; indeed this Ihoroivgh integi'ity pf gurpOBS is itself the divine idea in its taost commoü form, and really DO onc'.i bind is without coinmunion witR God. - Fitclu. Bexeath all pain inflicted by aatars, be not only serene but more ; let it avai thee in ]rayer. Put up, in tho moment of gi'cntert sufferiiig a prayar : not for thy own oscap, but for the enfrancliisement ot' soiuo being d ar to thee, and tho sovOTeign Spirit will accept thy rausoni. -
