But yet there is a difference — Yes — decidedly — the matter here is beyond the possi- oility of a dispute.
There isa difference — lamentable enough, you may term it — between the Singleton Snippe that was, and the Single ton Snippe that is.
The Singleton Snippe that was, is not now an existence; and the probabilities are that he never will be again. Nothing is stable in this world but instability ; and the livery-stable of to-day is converted into something else on the moiTow, never more to be... a stable, unstable stable. And so with men as well as with horses — for this perpetual revolution 110 NEAL^S SKKTCHES.
of human affairs goeth not backward, except when the rope breaks on an inclined plane, making it a down-hill sort of a business. Snippe is on the down-hill — rather.
The Singleton Snippe that is, stands picturesquely and pictorially before you — patiently, as it were, and on a mon- ument.
And now, was there ever — we ask the question of those ^ho remember Snippe in his primitive and natural state — ■ was there ever a merrier fellow than the said Singleton Snippe, in the original, if we may term it so — before the said Singleton was translated into his present condition, and be- came tamed down from his erratic, independent eccentiicities to the patient tolerance of the band-box and the bundle?
