Paudeen, sir. There's a lump of Chris
tlan for you two years old, and not a day
more; he'll never be any trouble to any
one, for av he takes after his mother he'll
have the brightest eye an av he takes
after his father he'll have a fine broad
pair Of shoulders to push his way through
the world. Will you swap again, sir?'
'With al my heart" said /, tits all
the same to me-" and so little Paudeen
was left with me-
"Ha, ha," said I to myself, as [ looked
into his big laughing eyes, "the affair is
settled at last"
But it wasn't; for ten minutes had
scarcely elapsed when Pat rushed into
the cabin without sign or ceremony, and
snatched up the baby, and cried out:
''It's no use; I've been talking to Ma

sir, Norag has look ov me, an Biddy
has look Of Mary; but be me soul, lit

no; We can bear hard fortune, starvation

Heaven TO take them from us"

"ANoTHER ANIMAL."-A correspon-
dent connected with surveying party on
the Plains in recent letter relates the
following:
"One Of our topographers, kind
hearted German, has been foremost in
the hunt heretofore, but he took no part
in the chase Of the wolf yesterday. He
was weaned in this way: A few days
since he saw beautiful white and black
animal running along ravine, and
shouting out to those nearest him, he
started in pursuit. The answer came
-"kill him . kill him." and thus cheered,
the German went in for victory. He
closed and grappled with she beautiful
creature, but in an instant he let go the
animal, and grasping his nose he started
for camp. He had it all his own way
every man avoided him. At Atlength, mad
dened beyond endurance, he let go his
nose and shouted out, ''Y gu ism nice shen-
tlamans yah, you ish such nolee shen-
tlemens You spheak gill him, gill him.
why you no gill him den? In meln land,
die leute say sthop, sthop." He might
have continued longer, but he had to
hold his mouth in order to take hold OF
his nose again. II He vows now that when
he sees another s'pdrty iddle ding he
goes nit de gun, and by dem he kills
him, and den he shust puts it up on de

ROBERT BONNER.

The following pen picture of Robert
Bonner is from the New York Gazette:
''He meets you with warm grasp of the
hand; he is thoroughly good natured and
polite--how could it be otherwise with a
man who is SO fond Of that noble animal,
the horse? He is fluent in conversation,
and interest his listeners Of once IN whatey-
er he is interested in. The stranger. i'm
mediately feelt at home in his presence,
and takes a full survey of the man.
About the average hight, well formed,
with body capable Of sustaining an I'M
mense amount Of work, broad shoulders,
full chest, round trunk, and well-devel-
oped limbs, it is impossible for Mr.. Bon
ner to be otherwise than full of fun and
good humor, for all the makeup of the
man tends to that very thing. He has a
bright hazel eye, dark hair, which is in-
clined to be thin, and light or auburn
beard and Whiskers. He seems to be
about 40 years Of ago, and must weigh
over 100 pounds. His present editorial
rooms are at the corner Of Beekman and
Cliff streets, on the second floor Mr.
Bonner's private Office is not large room,
but is we'll filed with everything pertain
ing to his profession. His writing-desk
reminds one of William Cullen Bryant's,
in the Office Ct the Euen1y Post. 1t is
filled up with paper and manuscripts
good deal higher than his head, and SO
crowded that there is hardly room to
write upon sheet Of note paper. Like
Mr.. Bryant, he probably clears it of
once in year or two-l Standing upon
the floor, at the right hand as he sits ut
his desk, there is large market basket
filed with manuscripts, covered with the
"dust of ages" Whether they are re-
jected manuscripts, or whether they are
new Ledger stories by Mr.. Cobb and Mrs
SouthWorth, ''to be confined" !" or whether
they are letters from correspondents seek
ing information, did not plainly appear
through the dust, but we incline to the
opinion that it was filed with the 'blas-
ted hopes of authors born to blush un-
seen, and waste their sweetness on the
desert air. Mr. Bonner's sanctum looks
very much as if he had just moved into
it, and had not found time to get things
settled The walls are covered with pic
lures, prominent among which is full
length steel engraving of Edward Everett,
presented to Mr. Bonner by that lamen-
ted scholar and statesman; several PIC
lures of Henry Ward Beecher, enc, a two
thirds length photographs, representing
the author of Norwood smiling, with
downcast eyes. A number of pictures of
farmers horses hang upon the walls, and
stand upon the floor waiting to be hung
up. On the mantle at one side of the
room there is bust of Mr.. Beecher,
proofs of the illustrations for his S ory
and crowd of other things too nulner-
Gus to mention. Mr.. Bonner never writes
any thing himself for the ledger which
he can hire any body else to write, but as
he has never been able to find any one
who could write what he calls his sperson-
al articles to suit him he always does that
himself. He writes all the advertisements
for the Ledger, and reads some Of the

And all her beauty seems to shrink -.4

While DER her shoulders to her hip,

Which form at night her braided crown
