Theee word you might, read ay a ay upon a white slab 10 cemetery not roaay'. miles from New, 'York; yoa might read them a bnndrd times without guessing at the little tragedy they indicate without knowing the numoie romanco wbicb ended with the placing of that etOoe above one poor, hnmble man. In a shabby frieze jacket and mad- laden brogauB, he was scarcely aa attractive object as be walked into Mr. Dawn's great tin and hardware shop, one day, and presented himself at tne counter with an -. "I've been told ye advertised tor bands, yer honor." "Folly supplied, my man, said Mr. Bawn, not lifting his head from bis aceonnt book. "I'd work faithful, sir, and take low . wages till I could do better; and I'd learn I would that." It was aa Irish brogue, and Mr. Bawn declared that he never could employ an incompetent hand. .Vet that tone attracted him. He turned briakly, and with bis pen behind his ; ear, addressed tbe man, who was only one oi nity wno naa answered bis advertisement for four workmen that morning. "What makes you expect to learn faster than other folko are yoo any smarter?" , - 1 ! "I'll -not say that," said the -man, "but 'I'd tc wishing to; that 'od make it easier." "';' "Are you need to the work ?" "I'v done a bit of it" ' "Mocb 1" - - ;' ' Xo, yer honor f I tell no lie. Tim OTeole tadn't tbe like of this place ; but I know a bit about tins." . t . t "Yoo are old for an apprentice; aad you'd be in the way, I calculate," aid Mr. Bawn, looking at the braw ny arms and bright eyes that prom ised strength and Intelligence." Bv sides, I know your countrymen lazy, good for nothing fellows, who never do their best. No, I've been taken in by Irish hands before, and I won't have another." "The Virgin will have to be after bringing 'em over in ber two arms, thin," said the man despairingly; "for I've tramped all day, for th) net fortnight, and niver a job can I get ; 1 and that's tbe last penny I have, yer honor, and it's but a half one." As be spoke he spread his palm open with an English half penny upon it. " ' ' ; ' "Bring whom Over ?" asked j Mr. Bawn, arrested by tbe odd speech, as tie turned upon his heel and looked back again. "Jist Nora and Jamesy." "Who are they f" - "Tbe wan's me wife, tbe other's me child," said tbe man. "Ob, mas ter thry me. How'll they aver come to me if no one will give me a job? I want to be aiming, and the whole big city seems against it and ' me with arms like them !" . ' . He bared bis arms to tbe shoulders as he spoke, and Mr. Bawn looked at them and then at his face. . " i " "I'll hire you for a week," be said ; "and now, as it's noon, go down into tbe kitchen and tell tbe girl to get you your dinner a hungry man cant wort.' And ' with an Irish blessing the new band obeyed, while Mr. Bawn untying his apron, went np stairs to his own meal. Saspicious as he was of tbe new band's integrity and ability, be was agreeably disappointed. Conner worked bard, aad actually, at the end of tbe week, he was the best work man in tbe shop. ' He wss a great talker, but not food of drink or wasting money. As bis woges grew he boarded erery penny, and wore the same shabby clothes in v hich be made bis first appearance. "Beer costs money," he said one day, "and ivery cint I spind puts off the bringing of Nora and Jamesy over ; and as for clothes, them I have must do me better no clothes to my back iban no wife and do boy to my tire aide ; anyhow, it's mighty alow work waving." It was slow woik, but he kept' at it all the same. Other men, thought less and full of fun, tried to make him drink, made a jest of bis saving habits, coaxed him to accompany them to places of amusement, and share their Sunday frolics. All ia vain. Connor liked .beer, liked fen, liked companionship, but he would not delay the long looked for bring ing of Nora over, and waa not "ataoe enough" to accept favors from others. He kept his way a martyr to ate own great wish living on little, working at night, and on aa extra job by which he could ears a few shillings, ny running erranas in ntt noontide hours of rest, and talking to any one who would listen of his one great hope, and Nora and little Jam esy. That seemed "a 'sort of eharity to him. ' Still be waa helped along. A present from Mr. Bawn at pay day set Nora, aa be said "a week aearer,' and this aad that aad the other add ed to tbe little hoard.. . It grew faster than at first, aad, Connor' . burden was not so heavy. .At last, before he hoped it, be was once mora able to say, "I'm going to bring Umsb over," and to anow bin aaadkarcaiet in which, as before, be tied op bis earnings; this time, however, only to bis mends, laauooa ... aaaoag strangers, be kid ate treasure, see kept bis vest bettoaed over it day and night, until the tickets were . .... i. . ..; -'I. -i - - ...

There was Ton Baker, the ' meanest man among the number,, who had never been known to give anything to one before, absolutely bartered ao old jacket for a pair of gilt vases which a peddler broaght in a basket to the shop, and presented them to Connor for Nora's mantle piece. And there . was idle Dick, ; the appren tice, who actually worked two hours on Connor's work when illness kept the Irishman at home one day. Con nor lelt this kindness, and returned it whenever it was in his power. And tbe days flew by and brought a letter at last - from bis wife. "She would start aa he desired, and she was well, and : so was tbe boy, and might the Lord .bring them safely to each other's arms, and bless those who bad been ao kind to him." This was the substance of , the. epistle, which Connor proudly assured bis fellow workmen Nora wrote herself. She had lived at service aa a girl with a certain i good old lady, who had given her an education, the items of which Connor told . upon - his fin gers. "The radin', . that's one, and the writia', that's two, and moreover be knows all a woman can." : Then be looked up at. his .fellow workmen, with tears in ea eyes, and asked : .

"But perhaps she was left behind. Maybe she didn't cone. I somehow think she didn't" : At tbe name of Nora the captain started. " In a moment be asked. "What is your name?" "Pat Connor, said the man. "And your wife's was Nora ?" ; "That's her name,' and tbe boy with her is Jamey, yer looor," aaid Connor. The captain looked at Connor's friends ; they looked at tbe captaio. Then he said, huskily: .

' He was trying to steady himself, looking at the cap tain with his eyes as dry as two stones. Then be turned to his friends and said : "I've got my death boys," and then dropped to the floor like a log. - They raised him and bore him away. ' In an hour he was at home in the little bed which had oeen made for Nora, after her long voy age.' There at last he opened his eyes, old Mr. Bawn bent over him; he had been summoned by tbe news, and the room was full of Connor's fellow workmen. "Better, Connor?" asked the old man. "A dale," said Connor. "It's aisy now. I'll be with her soon.- And look ye, master, I've larnt one thing tied is good. He would not bring Nora over to me ; but He's taking me over to her and Jamesy over the river don't you see it and her standing on the other side to welcome me."

IL Bogardus, of Elk hart, III., champion wing shot, has made a match of novel character with a prominent citizen of New York. He has bet $500 even that he will break 1,000 glass balls in two hours and forty manatee, the balls to be sprang fr.-m three or more traps, thongh only one ball to be sent into the air at a time. . The shooter wilt stand eighteen yards from the traps, and no ball to lie counted nnless bro ken before striking tbe ground. It is also stipulated that Bogardos shall use one gun throughout the match, nnless the gun becomes disabled, when another gun can be chosen. Two seta of barrels are allowed and he will confine himself to 1 J ounce shot In order to give tbe people of this city and vicinity an opportunity of witnessing this trial against time, skill and endurance, Gilinore's Gar den' has been engaged for Friday evening, ICth lost, when the shoot ing will take place. ' This is the first time tbe captain has ever attempted tbe feat, and be is of the opinion that to win be must average ninety bro ken balls in 100 and lire fully 1,100 shots. Though not confident, he has hopes of success, yet if he fails, he is willing to bet $1,000 against $500 that there is no man in the world who can break them, quicker than be will Bogardus has recently returned from California, where he astonished all the crack shots of that section, and though not quite so well satisfied with the trip as he was with his journey to England, it was, on tbe whole, satisfactory. Tbe shooting at Gilmore's will commence at eight p. m., sharp. Last week our Portuguese fisher men killed a large female whale of tbe California Gray species (Rachian ectes Glaueui), about sixty feet in length, being some twenty-two .feet larger than has ever been killed here before the average of females being about forty-two feet After catting off tbe blubber they found inside a nearly full-grown male calf, which measured sighteen feet from the end of its nose to the tip of its tail, or fluke, as tbe whalers call it ; the cir cumference of the body at its centre, nine feet ; the head about four feet in length: pectoral fins three feet; breadth of tail three and a half feet, and it bad two ridges on the lower jaw. When brought on snore it still had three feet of the umbilical cord attached to it The whalebone on its upper jaw was soft and white; the tongue large and soft ; the eyes near ly full size, about as large as a cow's, and the skin was of a dark-brown, mottled white. In had ao doMel fto. Tbe females, when with yorrng," gen erally keep off shore whea on their wsy down South, to bring them forth in tbe warm waters of the bays of Lower California, where they remain all winter and go North in the spricg. The females, with calf, are danger ous, as they often attack the boats of the whalers. Tbe writer once saw a boat cut completely in two by the flukes of one of these whales, and it looked as if it bad been chopped in two by a dull ax ; and several of the men were wounded. The term of gestation is about, one year. For merly these marine monsters were so numerous in Monterey Bay that whalers would fill up lying at anchor. Oftentimes they would be. seen play ing in the surf, and rolling tbe barna cles off of their sides and backs oa tbe sand beach an odd way of scratching themselves.

The most comfortable place to study the people of Vienna is in tba large windows of a cae; here you can see every one passing, as well as tbe people drinking coffee or reading the papers inside. Hero you will find every class of society at almost any hour of the day. A few days ago I went into a cafe to amuse my self for an hour, and had just comfort ably seated myself, and ordered a "Schwartzen," when in fame a lady of about two hundred weight, and seated herself at my table, with about1 a dozen and a half ot newspapers of all . descriptions . English, French and American illustrated papers so covering the table tbat, a ben the waiter came with my coffee be was obliged to clear a space for tbe little tray. This drove tbe old lady iuto a passion, and her grumble continued till something in Ue . Kukenli changed the channel of her thoughts. After she bad finished all ber papers, and looked round the cafe to see if there was anything elae she could do, I ventured to ask hsr if she bad always lived in Vienna. She said she bad and did not propose to leave it, and immediately asked me to what nation I belonged. Upon my saying I was waa an American, she started and looked toward tbe door as it about to run, but a glance reassured ber, aad she asked if it were safe to walk tbe streets of America alone. She said she had heard that every one carried pistols or guns. To this 1 replied tbat she would be as safe as on the streets of Vienna, if not more so. She then wanted to know if it were safe to ride in a railroad train there ; she bad beard tbat they always rsn off the track and killed lots of people. I answered this by saying that she might get ber life insured, sad then she would be perfectly safe. This seemed to be a conundrum which needed more study than she could give in a cafe, so sne arranged ner costume-. and departed, much to my reliefs A Vienna cafe is something dif ferent from anything we have in America; it takes the place, in some respects, of our bar-rooms that is you can get all the liquor yoa want, but yoa must drink it straight as tbe Austnans know nothing about mixed drinks. Brandy, schnapps and ab- synthe are tbe only liquors which are drunk as a - rule ,- with water, while schnapps is taken in a small glass which bolds about a tbimbletul. Coffee seems to the Austrian what whisky is to tbe Irish. When an Austrian feels aa if be needed some thing to "brace np" on, he takes a "schwartzen," which is black coffee without milk ; if be be hungry, he takes a white coffee, that is with milk and so gar, and takes a long stick of bread, which he puts in the coffee to soak it up, tbe bread acting as a sponge. This is not an excep tional case, but every one does it. some even break tbe bread up wnug it with a spoon into a sort of mush, which does not look at all inviting Ronton Advertiser. Bwja Wwrh.
