MR; QUATTY'S GREAT SPEECH.
A more sincere and every way excellent
min than Mr. Phip,Quatty never lived,
nor a more -thoroughly uneducated one;
and a more sensible one you never knew.
In the dialed of the South-western city
in which he lived, "If ever a man . had
what you may'F.call good strong hard
horse -sense, Quatty's your man." As all
admitted, however, there tea,s one fatal
exception which was always stated in the
making out of this verdict — the indi-
vidual in question "would speak." Mr.
Venable, his young pastor, begged him
in private, and almost witji tears in his
eyes—for it was a very serious matter
, indeed—not to make remarks in prayer -
meeting, yet entreeted him in vain. Mr.
Ezra alicajah Parsons, who afterwards
secured an income of sixty-two thousand
dollars a. year by one of his many inven-
tions, had patented a vast variety of
railway brakes rimoug other things, but
he failed ignominiously in devising any
means of stopping Mr. Quatty, and never
had Mr: Parsons given his mind more
• vigorously to anytking. Mrs. Chaffings-
by, who imagined herself an artist, and
painted atrocious prophets, apostles,
martyrs and seraphims, became herself a
picture of disgust in the framing of her
pew "at meeting" whenever Mr. Quatty
arose to speak. Mr. Parsons and her-
self were members of the same church
with the offender, and had a strong av-
ersion to his peculiarity, —of all people
living, queer and notionate people being
the most impatient of the oddities of
others. There was Commodore Grand-
heur, superintendent of the Sabbath
School and high official in general of the
church, a man of imposing presence who
hadan alarming way of growing purple
as to his face when angry, and bristling
as to his heavy white mustache, and
demonstrative as to :his still _heavier
gold -headed cane. It was 1 uot every
' one who dared face the Comnaodore when
. the veins about his bald head became
blue and swollen. After every attempt
of Mr. Phip Quatty to "make h few re-
marks" at any' church naeeting, the Com-
modore would roil, so to speak, down
upon the culprit in a thunder storm even
more terrible than the one before; and
yet hat good or evil did hie almost ap-
oplectic expostulations do? Not a bit.
To Mr. Quatty, at least wheu the next
. opportunity to speak was come, the ve-
hement denunciations were no more than
the puffs of smoke from the cigar of the
last passer-by. Mr. Quatty woad speak.
It was very remarkable. Every Wed-
nesday night he went from the livery -
stable of which he was the energetic
• owner—the city in which he lived being
famous for the superb sea -beach drives
near by—to prayer -meeting as fully re-
selvect as any man could be, tkatehe
would not _say a word. Alas, the lights,
the singing, the •fervent prayers, the
reading by the pastor of some specially
striking Scripture, most of' all, the ex-
hortations of some brother present,
would be sure to stir him up and alto-
gether beyond his own con trol, and in spite
of himself as well as of all the world be-
side, speak he must, and would, and did.
• I liked Mr. Quatty thoroughly, and I
cau see him this instant. _He was a tall
_
man, long, lank, 1e , sunburned by rea-
son of unceasing posure with his
horses, eylich, by the ye, were so /limy
manias t\him, on1yi less so than his
speeehes. He was re tless of eye, gen-
erous to an absurdit with his money,
• whoever wanted it, w.th a sbaewd and
kindly face, having bit that one faulthe
would speak. Nor was that a fault
when you. came to know the reason
-
prompting the simple -hearted man; real-
ly it was the noblest sort of an excel-
lence instead. ,
The fact that Mr. Quatty Was one of
the shrewdest of men in everything else,
caused this insanity id his for public '
speaking to stand out in grotesque con-
trast upon the daily background of his
otherwise uniform and even coarse com-
mon sense. Explanation is easy. He
hed heard a vast deal, of oratory, very
often of an exceedingly florid kind, on
Fourths of July, during political cam-
paigns, on Masonic anniversaries aad the
like, and whiskey could not; have so in-
• toxicated him. Not that the subject
matter of the eloquence was of the
slightest interest to hien. A breathless
listener frona first to last, by far the
most excited hearer present, hie one
thought through all this was:
"Oh, if I could only get a show at
this crowd in that way! Yes, and, if I
.could just get to going, I could. pileon
the agony higher thau '1 Oli are doing, you
i
bet ! 2 i
In other words, to V1Ir. Quatty, pub-
lic speaking meant 41.eciamation, and
declamation meaut soi ething immea,se
urably more than or mary language.
What so poor and mean as the daily
t
talk he held now withd
, his one man, an
now with that! In ccutrast, what so
glorious as for him to heve to do with a
thousand people at once, his talk swell-
ing into -a kind of thunder -storm pro-
portionately ! But, Dr. Burrows, a
previous pastor of his, ' had stipulated
his hallucinations into madness almost.
A very lore rotund() speaker Dr. Bur-
rows was. Portly of person, powerful
of voices., orbicular of gesture, the sol-
emnity of his themes gave a sanction to
his oratory which made it a matter of
conscience, in addition. to all else, that
Mr. Quatty should imitate and surpass •
it all. He would be more than Presi-
dent of the United States if he could
present truth in that way, now inking
hand and .voice into the still small hisp-
er of thrilling appeal, and now--arel this
he liked the best—crashing UpQi the
people in thunder of righteous d nun-
ciation.
—
,
•
me !"- Mr. Quattyi had many a
tinae groaned. to himself on leaving
church, "if I could get up as high as. the
Doctor did, I could have got up fifty
times higher, and. I could have aome
down upon those people a hundred times
harder. You -bet !. No, not bet, it's
Sunday, and it's a sermon. But, oh, if
I only had any sort of show,—but one
fair chance,—just one !" ,
And thus it came about that Mr.
Phip Quatty arose one eventful day at an
unusually early hour. He had been very
wakeful all night, so that when his wife
groanecl as he got up, 0 Phip, Phip, I
wouldn't if I was you ;" and her hus-
band replied, "Can't help it, Sally," it
was but in continuation of a conversa-
tion to alike effect ,which had been kept
up intermittently through all the hours
of darkness gone before. ,
Mrs. Quatty sat up in bed, arranged
her hair a little, rubbed her eyes, which
had been evidently deprived of their
lawful rest, and made one last, despaie-
ing appeal. •
• ".0 how I do wish you wouldn't !"
• "Can't help it, Sally."(
The words in reply were few, but it
-was in substance_ all Mr. Quatty ever
said, in that connection, to her or to any
. one else. They were few and final, be -
cease they were the utterance to others
of what was to the man himself, the de-
cree of destiny,necessity, nature. Ile
did not desire to make remarks in meet-
ing. A vast deal rather would ,he listen,
instead, to anybody else you might men-
tion. ," There is nothing I have to do
I hate more," he often said. it was the
grief of his life. "1 would rather any
day have an overseer take a rawhide to
me," he was Continually observing. By
an inscrutable doom, more perplexing
and painful toilful than it codld possibly
be to any other, he "had to speak," and
that was all.there was of it. Mr. Quat-
ty had neyer read of the Virgin at Del-
phi uttering oracles. sorely against her
will, or he might have quoted that pre-
cedent. As it was, his reply, as final in
its tone as in all else, ao cool because
concerning something in relation to
which all discussion was idle—his reply
expressed it all—
"Can't help it, Sally."
The morning alluded to, was that of
the day upon which it had been arranged
by Mr. Quatty's pastor that he should
have a hall engaged for the purpose, and
an entire evening to 'and for himself.
Then and there he was f to make fully,
finally, mice and for all, the remarks he
had so often and faithfully tried to make
in prayer -meetings and elsewhere, and
tried in vain. Although the plan had
been suggested by his pastor very cau-
tiously and with hesitation lest it -should
hurt ibis parishioner's ifeelings, Mr.
Quatty had consented to it promptly,
cordially, almost rapturously. It was
precisely the thing he had desired for
years.
"I haeenever had any show, you 'see,
sir," he explained tie Mr. Venable at the
end of their conversation. "People all
around me are going to ruin, and even
when you get such people into a meeting
somehow what is said does not bit a man
of the crowd as a hammer hits a nail on
the head. It may all. be very good, but
it is mighty misty and roundabout.
Somehow it don't hit so as to hurt, and
• people go away exaetly as they catue.
That is the reason I get up. Something
must be said. I would- as , lief have a
hand chdpped off as to have it to do, but
if nobody else does it I must !"
, "But why not say it all," his friend
asked, "to people in conversation. You
have many wicked men coming in your
stable every day, Youtell. me,—why not
seize an opportunity then, and have a
private talk? I find I can do more
with a person in such saiversation than
can from the pulpit.77 The other made
prompt reply:
"Because, being a minister, they don't
interrupt, yoh see, any more than when
you are preaching. Talk ?-1 try to do
so every day of my life. But the fellow.,
whoever it is, Will interrupt. , He is sure
to say, `Oh, Quatty, let me have a horse
and buggy and go ;' or 'Stuff, Quatty,
nonsense, if you care for my soul, why
won't you let me have that ten dollars?'
and I do let them have the ten dollars,—
fifty of them for. that matter,"—Mr.
• Quatty added, "except when I know
for dead certain it will go for whiskey or
.gambling or something worse. No, sir!
and twenty to ona, as sure as I begin to
talk, the man will say, 'Well, now, you
have had your say, let me talk,' and then
he will fly off with some joke or story;
or start me talking horse -flesh. What
I want, you see, is to get at people when
• I can say all I've got to say without any-
body putting in. My idea is to get a
crowd to sit still as they do for you in
church, and listen. Then I only want
a good fair start, and I can always have
that by beginning with my being an oys-
terman, and all I want after that is to
get going you know! I have so much
to say," he added with almost tears in
his earnest eyes, " that if I get the hang
of the thing, the swing of it, you know,
the rush of the thing, you understand;"
with an illustrative gesture of both of
his arms, as iffhe were pushing some ve-
hicle rapidly ,before him, "the gush and
rush and roar of the thing, 1 couldanake
a speech that would tell,—yes, sire e bob,
tell like thunder !"
And now' the naorining of the dy set
for Mr. Quatty to silieak,had Come. Full
notice had been given in -all the ci y,pa-
pers, Colonel Rosselyn, the editor f one
of them, adding in his sheet a speci 1 ed-
itorial in reference to !`Mr. Quatty, our
well-knewn, estimable end enterprising
fellow -citizen," the 'subject of commend-
ation as ignorant as a lamb Of the sar-
casta of the Colonel's italics. Never
had his many friends been so zealous in
his affairs, Profane men ad gamblers
as many of them were, they had cheer-
fully contributed towards posters adver-
tising the meetins in the hall,—posters
exhausting the resOurcea both as to the
largest type and most vivid colors, of all
the printing offices in the city, No won-
der Mr. Quatty was unable ta sleep the
night before. Nor is it to be wondered
that on rising, as we have said, he resist-
ed his wife to the last as he put on his
best clothes at once, so as to give his
whole mind and bedy to the matter with-
out the interruptidn of having to dress
again at night. Imrhediately after
breakfast he had his span of "crack"
grays harnessed to his on private bug-
gy, and drove o_ff to thel sea -beach to be
by himself and to think:
It was a morning bright, Aol, crisp
enough to inspire the dullest man living.
Mr. Quatty's soulwas charged and sur-
charged with an abdndance ot things to
say,—things to him of the highest con-
ceivable beauty and sublimity as well as
importance; ; things which held and
stirred his own heart beyond anything
else in all the world. There was plenty
to say, no fear of that; and no man
could be in more vigorcfus, not to say,
rugged health; the blood coursing swift-
ly, that bracing morning, through his
brain, enabling him to dare and to do
everything, as it did through his stom
ach, enabling him to digest eaerything;
As he struck the beach he shook the
reins eagerly. "Mang !" he said to his
grays, and, as they sped along in the
fringe of the surf, ,"That is it,' he said
aloud, "that's the way to get to going to
ny speech,—the way to get to the rush
of the thing; and now let me study."
But the orator found it almost impos-
sible to do so. He could not help going.
over in his mind his many past efforts
and failures. Then he pictured to him-
self the hall at it would be that night,
the lights and the crowd, the death -like
stillness of attention, the deepening in-
terest, the tears of all present as he pro-
ceeded, the applause when he should
end, the congratulations of Ma fri nds,
the notices in the papers next day. As
his horses flew along the broad iard
beach, their driver continually sha ing
the reins and urging them on in his eager-
ness, Mr. Quatty had never been so e cit=
ed in his life.
"The morning I was to marry weal not
a circumstance to it," he said; "not
even the day I joined the church. But
look here, Quatty," he continued, "this.
isn't studying my speech. Hold up a
moment," he said aloud, and he reined
in his grays until they came to a stand.
"Let me imagine all the people there,
still as mice, and attentive as you please.
wonder if the hall will .be crowded.
Perhaps some will have to sit on the
platform. Never mind. Whoa, hold
up! Let me begin at the beginning."
Now, it should be explained, Mr.
Quatty always began his remarks in pub-
lic by telling. of having once been an
oysterman, and a rather disreputable one..
Also of his having been rescued from his
evil courses by the the intervention of a
stranger who had told him some-
what singularly, that he perceived that
he, Mr. Quatty, was a gentleman and a
scholar. It is not improbable that Mr.
Quatty had made a hundred efforts to
speak, and every time he had begun
with these facts, but, somehow, he al-
ways broke down almost immediately
after stating them, whereas he had -al-
ways regarded them in theory as but the
safe beginning of the rousing address he ‘
always intended to make. 41 was once,"
he now rehearsed, "an oysterman, that
I've got pat Then that man, and how
I said that he was not a gentleman and a
scholar, pat as you please. Now here is
• just where I begin to break down, it's
the weak place in the harness. I must
have something strong to say exactly
there. Can't you step your stamping
and pawing? Whoa, I say. Let me see,
let me see—." At this juncture a sea
gull swooped by and so near the heads of
his pair, that eager for the least pretext
to do so, they started off on a run, jerk-
ing the reins out of the driver's hands.
There was not much danger, seeing that
the ocean was on one side of the beaeh,
and that the sand was heaped up twenty
feet high on the other. The horses,
however, were as well as their driver,
full of life, encl put such soul as they too
possessed into their heels. Mr. Quatty
had been run away with who can say
how many hundreds of times in his life,
and was before long master againof the
situation, but ,when he had his horses
standing still once more, and all in a
foam, it was miles further along the
beach, and all his preparations up to that
point in his address had to be gone over
again.
"Yah, you beauties !" their driver
said to his horses as they struggled once
more against the long and sinewy arm
which held them in, "you upset my
speech, that is all. You would, would
you?? I only wish I may run away with
that hallful of people to -night the same
way. Yes, and 1 can do it if nobody
interrupts. If I can get to going, that
is all I ask, to get under a head of steam,
to get to the rush of the thing. Now,
what next? Just at that weak place
I'll have something as strong as I can
fix it, smart and strong to keep me from
stopping one moment. Let mi seer
and he meditated deeply with his head
down, but with no result. "If you
only could be still one moment !" he ejac-
ulated to his 1 animals, "it is that, it is
the interruption that halts me, and all 1
need is to get into a good headway.
Let me see," p.n.(' his eye fell on a crab
burrowing in the heaped upmounds of
sand on his left. "Exactly,, ' he exclaim- 1
ed, "yes, I see, I'll illustrate that way,
how a fellow burrows in the dirt when
he drinks and gambles and such like. I
can bring in the hard shell and the claws
as sure as you, live. That's geod, they'll
understand that! Get up, I'll see some-
thing else," Mr. Quatty revolved his il-
lustration over and over as his horses
trotted rapidly along against a tight rein,
the driver deep in thought.
Suddenly they shied to one side, and
only by sheer strength could Mr. Quatty
hold them in rearing and plunging. Ly-
ing right across their way-oe the smooth
hard beach, its head down and still toss-
ed as to the _matted heir by the receding
tide, was the body of a drowned sailor.
It had evidently been washed up by the
heavy slid of the night before, and it
was far from the first time Mr. Quatty
had come on such a sight along the
aeach. He held his struggling horses in
as he considered matters. Life had long
been extinct. The glazed eyes were
staring at the sky„ the brawny and ta-
tooed breast was all bare to the day; the
ineffectual arms, pictured over even to
the tips of the finger; with anchors and
crosses and hearts( were spread • out in
dumb appeal on either side, still being
lifted aud let fall by the ebb and flow of
the retiring sea.
"Poor fellow, but you ain't the first,"
nor will you be the last. I'll dri4 right
back and send out the . coroner," and be
turned his horses .suddenly around.
"Hold up?' he 'exclaimed with excite-
ment as he did so, "it's a Providence has
pitched you into the very outset of my
speech. 'Why, it's the grandest sort of
an idea ! Alman, dear friends, and Mr.,
Quattytnansferred the reins from his right
hand to his left, and extended his arm
to an imaginary audience, "a mortal map
once as full opf life and deviltry, I dessay
as any of yoth, and now, behold, --Oh!
I have got the idea. I'm sorry for you,
but glad for my speech; yes," he added,
shaking his fist at the buzzards slowly
circling round and round overhead, "1'11
put you in too. Many and many 4 man
of you," Mr. Quatty continued return-
ing to his audience with an iuflation into
oratory of his'voiee, and a wave of his
hand, "is a worse turkey -buzzard, a -cir-
cling and a -swooping every day round
and round many a poor sailor in our har-
bor! Oh, but 1,11 make your feathers
fly -tonight !" Mr. Quatty added with
another shake of his fist, this time at
those of whom the birds of ,prey were
but a type. "Glang, boys !' he added
to his horses, and, as they gladly sped.
homeward, "I'll hold on to what l've
got and go for the coroner; get up, will
you!'
