"An Irishman of the full blood can* uot resist u't opportunity for repartee, no matter bow solemn the occasion or what his surroundings," said an Englisli clergyman, a visitor in Washing k . ? i > m ?\>H. nil- vim-i (iii.1, n ill'U lilt* coilVOrs.l j lion turned ou the funny experience* j of clergymen ami the humor tlial creeps iuto matters connected with the church. "i was assisting an old friend of mine, the rector of a church In Ireland, one t'unday. and before the service we wore in the vestry room putting on our robes, with the old sexton, u shriveled a up Irishman of 'lie perfect tj pe, as[ sisting. My frjend. who was somewhat old. was a little testy that morning. and somehow the sleeve of Ida surplice pot mixed up. Notwithstanding the assiduous efforts of the old sex' ton to direct Ids ariu to the right liole the two would not connect. Finally, osiug patience. my i.lend sahl r.harpti ly: 'till, the old boy's in the thing.' i. "Tin* old sexton brightened up and, looking oviv at mo. With a twinkle In t liia eye,, said as quick as lightning. 'Not yit, your riverince.' "It restored the pood liunior of the situation, and the vestincut was properly adjusted. "The only time I ever heard a congregation laugh unrestrainedly during the regular services in a cathedral was back in the eighties, when I was a resident of dear, dirty Dublin. On one Sunday morning the bishop of Cork preached. lie was a splendid man. an Irishman to the backbone and possessed of as fine a brogue as ever distinguished a s n of Krin. His congregation was mi:ili> no of Ilia v??w of fashion in Dublin, which, in tlmso days, was ono of tlio Kreatos?. social contors of IIm? world. Notoriously, p npic worn living beyond their moans, for the Income from the lauded estates ??f * Ireland had tal:? n a I i;? tumble. (tut that made no difference. and pa?d dressing wont as a matter of eon- r and was ono of tlio sniallost of tho ,trn vagmicos. The bishop proaehod ou tho subject of extravagance and sprite particularly of overdressing. Ilis s r tiioti was a hitter arraignment of the sia nl' d.'hi and the wickedness of sot ting ti:e heart on fashion and dress, lie attacked tho overdressed women and wound up this particular rm'eicmv tids way: " 'Now. supposing every cite of ye? every ono. man and woman?should stand up in this church, take off the clothes ye have net paid for. just wuSkin out with the things on your hack ye have paid for a pretty lod.Iu lot of searcerowstye'd in?.' "Tliere was a pause until the real significance ot the suggest i:.ii had per related through the members of his cotiffi ega t ion. then some one snickered. F.very one was picturing to himself an 1 i herself the real scene that would occi i* should the hisli<>p's idea ho enrrh d in' ? infect, while wife looked at husband i c.nd members ef each family nudged otto another.
