EEMAEKS ON COATS. The words—" The mind's the standard of the man " are apt to give some men an excuse for inattention to their outward appearance, and they flatter themselves that, because their outward appearance is by no means indicative of greatness, they must have superior minds, and, drawing themselves up in their unseemly outfits, they recite the above quotation in bravado. A cosmopolitan, from appearance alone, would be_ very sceptical of a man's mind being either great or of any great attainments, ifhebadnot a respectable coat ou his back, as the will and the ability to wear a becoming coat are indicative, in some degree, of a mind properly exercised. The endless variety of configuration in the body of the Saxon, Celtic, and other races may perplex some to kuow how aud where Coats can be had adapted to this diversity, but a moment's reflection will enable them to see that the most likely place to fall in with the proper assorlmont is where the LARGEST STOCK of COATS is kept, aud where they can be had from the nominal price of ten shillings up to that which would please a Duke. As Whyte and Pirie are determined to clear out their stock of Coats prior to the close of the fiuancial year, those who want Coats, and expect to get them at moderate prices, will not be disappointed if they "o to the proper market.
