Irish Hearts.

At this moment, when the sufierings Of
the irish people engross so large share OF
public sympathy, the following sketch OF
Irish character may not be found uninteres-
ting TO usit seems touching and truthful.
The story teller prefaces the incident by sta
ting that he found an Irish family, ola hus-
band, wife and several children, on one OF
our lake steamers. They were in great des-
tuition: and the beauty Of the children was
the theme for the admiration of all their
fellow travellers, AT the request OF lady
passenger, who having no children of her
own, was desrious oftaking one Of the little
chi.cten and adopting it, the narrator ad-
dressed himself to the head of the family.
We do not know the author Of the sketch,
and give II as we find it ..., .
"Although," says the story teller, had
considerable doubts as to the results. 81 Of
tered my services as a negotiator, and pro-
ceeded Immediately upon my delicate d.
pIomacy Finding my friend on deck,
thus opened the affair.

His answer was characteristic
"Poor, sir" said; Gay if there's a
poorer man than me roublin' the " orld, God
pity both ov w, for we'd about equal"
"Ihen how do you manage 10 support
your children"
"ls ii support them sir Why, don't
support them any way: they get supported
some way or another. In be time enough
for Inc to complain when they do"
"Would it be relief 10 you to part with
one of them ...
II was too sudden, he turned sharply
round.
"A what sr'n he cried; ia relief to part
from me child Would i, be a relief to
have the hands chopped from my body, or
the heart torn out oimy breast' A relief
indeed'-God be good to us, what do you
mean;'', ...+. '.t f.. D..
you don't understand me-" / replied,
"'t now it were in ones power to pro-
vide comfortably for one of your children;
would you stand in the way Of its inter-
ests"
mo sir" said he; /" the heavens know
'hat ! would willingly cut the sunshine
away from myself, that they might get all
the warm OF il, but do tell us what you
are driving at"
] then told him that a lady had taken q
fancy to oneof his children and il he woslt
consent to it, il should be educated and f.
nally settled comfortably in life.
This threw him in fiji Of graduation
He scratched his head and looked the very
picture Of bewilderment The struggle be.

CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

THIS has hecn the secret principle Of too many
i of the wholesale dealers in Teas up to this time,
and they have prscsed the most shameful imposition
on the Country Merchant without any fear Of deec-
ton. But new era in the Tea Trade has come and
Pekin Tea Company claims the homer of its intro
duction They were the first to raise the banner of
Reform, on which II has inscribed the simple words:
"PURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES"
complete revolution has heen the conseq
Let consumers of Tea everywhere loek at what we
have done.
LIST. We were the first to send them Teas that
used to he called too good for them before.
ID We have driven out the market a vast amount
OF trash, aud introduced better class of Teas than
has ever yet been sold Importers Of Tea often come
to US to get for their use, and for their riends
fine qualities they can find nowhere else.
81. We have reduced prices mote than 25 per CT,
both in Black and Green Teas. The wholesale
grocers say we running the trade and call US
humbugs This we have done already, and now
see what we are ready to do.
ls We will sell Teas by the single chest, half
chest or Ia pound box, OF the same prices that
wholesale grocers pay 10 the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
I'd. The wholesale erocers allow only Is or Ut
most IA pounds tare to the half chest. This Is
cheat. We allow, iu most instances, Is and l6
lbs. tare OH the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake to sell every kind of
Tea, from sir to t,oelue cents per pound cheaper
than the wholesale grocers do
How can we do lhis asks the country merchant.
This is our answer. We are content with seven
per cent profit instead of 25 and SO per cent, a la
wholesale grocer. t.r, .,E...., a.
We deserve the thanks of the country merchants
for saving them hereafter from being cheated. Let
them come to the Warehouse of the Pekn Tea
Company, and compare samples of Tea they get
elsewhere; and if they buy bad Teas then at high
prices il is their own fault ...
An English importer lately boosted to us thai he
could make more money by sending bad Teas to the
New York market, than on good Teas. We are
resolved to overthrow this fraud; and now call upon
agents in every town in The United States to come
forward and buy Teas imported by the Pekin Tea
Company, and we pledge ourselves, that IT III six
months they do not sell more Tea than the Oldest
and largest dealers in The town, we will give them
our Tea without charge. This is plain English and
cannot be misunderstood. We appeal for testimo.
mony to the immense success Of orr Agents in any
part of the United States.
~ Agents wanted in every town in the United
Statos for the sale Of these Teas, by which they
make money, and confer benefit upon the Public
by supplying the pure article. ~

THE POOR MAN.
BY ISAAC A. POOL.

His hands are rough, his coat is torn,
His frame with labor sore is worn,
His heart with sorrow sad;
His lonely hut is worn and old, '
His children suffering with cold .
And uaught to make them glad
At times it rains, and halls, and SHOWS,
And rude around his howell blows ...
Stern winters piercing blast;
The fire on his hearth is low,
And want of wood must keep it so,
Long as the cold shall last.
And hunger, with horrid stare, .
Looks in and reigns with terror there,
Amidst the suffering poor; .H
Whilst happier men, in fortunes tide,
In gold and silver saily ride
Triumphant past their door.
In humble suppliant pray'r they kneel,
And incoherent words they feel ."
Win up to God ascend;
For He who guards the sparrow's fall,
Will keep his faithful children, all,
And be the poor mans friend.
Ills vile, sweet pdltilC VI hio VIVA,
Around her suffering children throws
A himsey, threadbare cloak,
And crouching low upon the floor,
They wish the dreary winter DER,
Or deaths relieving stroke.
Then when keen winters chilling blast,
And storms and cold are safely past,
Their suferings cannot cease ~
For still the rolling seasons bring ..r
Fresh terrors, from their tyrant king,
In all save a release. .. *...' b..
This is his hardy task Of pain,
TO work in want and not complain,
From dreary morn till night;
Ave, still toll on f. ON day to day,
Fen though his life-blood oozed away,
And heaven shut out its light.
For on his hands the lives of all
His loved ones rest, and if they call
On him for bread in vain,
In helplessness his heart must bleed
With sorrow for their woful need;
Better to work in pain .... . Ill.,.
Each DAVIS return will bring its want,
w men HIS pun eaiHihSo 49, w ~~e-'~
To meet but there's hope
For him laid up in heaven above,
That cd will in his hottest love
Give Pleasures wings full scope.
And, when his soul departs in bliss,
DYING, he doth bequeath them this
A better gift for me ...
Than all the sums of worthless gold
That the vain miser's Golfers hold
A life of poverty! H.. ...
They know that their Redeemer lives, y
And in his tender mercy gives -.
A home beyond the skies;
Where they from want and pain are free,
Yet still TO keep them humble, He H..
His loved ones will chastise. . j..
But they in heaven lay up their store,
Where sorrow can modest no more,
And pain can never come,
Where rest comes 10 the weary soul,
And ceaseless joys around them roll
This is the poor mans home
