AWARDED OWE MACHINE 
a crowd of vehicles blockaded the street; a troop 
of emigrants came thronging up ; fine cabin pas¬ 
sengers were stepping into cabs, and drivers, por¬ 
ters, and all manner of employes were yelling and 
shonting in the nsnal manner. Nora would wait on 
board for her husband—he knew that. 
The little group made their way into the vessel at 
last, and there, amidst those who sat watching for 
coming friends, Connor searched for the two so 
dear to him; patiently at first, eagerly but patient¬ 
ly ; but by-and-by growing anxious and excited. 
“ She would niver go alone/' he said. “ She’d be 
lost inthirely; I bade her wait, but I don’t Bee her, 
boys, I think she’s not in it” 
“Why don’t you see the captain*/” asked one, 
and Connor jumped at the suggestion. In a few 
moments he stood before a portly, rubicund maD, 
who nodded to him kindly. 
“I am lookin' for my wife, yer honor,” Baid Con¬ 
nor, “ and I can't fiod her.” 
“ Perhaps she’s gone ashore,” said the captain. 
“1 bade her wait,” said Connor. 
“ Women don't always do a6 they are bid, you 
know,” said the captain. 
“Nora would,” said Connor; “but maybe she 
was lefi behind. Maybe she didn’t come; I some¬ 
how think she didn’t” 
“At the name Nora the captain started. In a 
moment he asked,— 
“ What is your name ?” 
“ Pat Connor,” said the man. 
“And your wife’s was Nora?” 
“ That’s her name, and the boy with her is Jamesy, 
yer honor,” said Connor. 
The captain looked at Connor’s friends; they 
looked at the captain. Then he said, huskily,— 
“Sit down, my man; I’ve got something to tell 
you.” 
“She's left behind V" said Connor. 
“ She sailed with ns,” 6aid the captain. 
“ Where i6 she?” asked Connor. 
The captain made no answer. 
“.My man,” he said, “we all have our trials; God 
sends them. Yes—Nora started with ns.” 
Connor said nothing. He was looking at the cap¬ 
tain now, white to his lips. 
“It’B been a sickly season,” said the captain. 
“Wo had illness on board—the cholera. You know 
that.” 
“1 didn’t,” said Connor; “I can’t read—they 
kep’ it from me.” 
“ We didn’t want to frighten him, 
in a half whisper, 
“You know how long we lay at quarantine?” 
“ The ship 1 came in did that,” said Connor. 
“Did ye say Nora went ashore? Ought to be 
lookin’ for her, captain.” 
“Many died,” went on the captain—“many chil¬ 
dren. When we were half way here your boy was 
taken sick”— 
“Jamesy,” gasped Connor. 
“His mother watched him night and day,” said 
the captain, “and we did all we could, but at last 
he died; only one of many. There were five buried 
that day. But it broke my heart to see the mother 
looking out upon the water. ‘It’s his father I 
think of,’ said she, ‘he’s longing so to see poor 
Jamesy.' 1 ’ 
Connor groaned. 
“ Keep up if you can, my man,” said the captain. 
“I wish any one else had it to tell rather than I. 
That night Nora was taken 511 also; very suddenly. 
She grew worse fast. In the morning she called 
me to her. 1 Tell Connor 1 died thinking of him,’ 
she said, ‘ and tell him to meet me.’ And, my man, 
God help you, bhe Lever said anything more—in an 
hour she was gone.” 
Connor had risen. He stood up, trying to steady 
himself; looking at the captain with his eyes dry as 
two stones. Then he tamed to his friends. 
“I’ve got my death, boys,” he said, and then 
dropped to the floor like a log. 
They raised biin and bore him away. In an hour 
he was at home on the little bed which had been 
made ready for Nora, weary with her long voyage. 
There, at last, he opened his eyes. Old Mr. Bawn 
bent over him; he had been summoned by the 
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, masther, I’ve learnt 
one thing—God is good; He wouldn’t let me bring 
Nora over to me, but He’s takin’ me over to her— 
and Jamesy—over the river; don’t yon see it, and 
her standing on the other side to welcome me 
And with those words Connor stretched out his 
arms. Perhaps he did see Nora — Heaven only 
knows —and so died.

wasting money. As his wages grew he hoarded 
every penny, and wore the same shabby clothes 
in which he had made bis first appearance. “ Beer 
costs money,” he said one day, “and ivery cint I 
spend puts off the bringing Nora and Jamesy over; 
and as for clothes, thim 1 have must do me—bet- 
ther no coat to me back than no wife and boy by 
me fireside: and anyhow, it’s slow work saving.” 
It was slow work, bnt he kept at it all the same. 
Other men, thoughtless and full of fun, tried to 
make him drink—made a jest of his saving habits, 
coaxed him to accompany them to places of amuse¬ 
ment or to share in their Sunday frolics. All in 
vain. Connor liked beer, liked fun, liked compan¬ 
ionship; but he would not delay that lODg looked- 
for bringing or Nora over, and was not “ mane 
enough” to accept favors of others. He kept hiB 
way, a martyr to his one great wish — living on lit¬ 
tle, working at night on any extra job he could 
earn a few shillings by; running errands in hi6 
noontide hours of rest, and talking to any one who 
would listen of bis one great hope, and of Nora and 
little Jamesy. 
At first the men, who prided themselves on being 
all Americans, and on turning out the best work In 
the city, made a sort of butt of ConDor, whose 
“ wild Irish ” ways and verdancy were indeed often 
laughable. Bnt he won their hearts at last, and 
when, one day, mounting a work-bench, he 6hook 
his little bundle, wrapped in a red kerchief, before 
their eyes, and shouted, “ Look, boys, I’ve got the 
whole at last! I’m goin' to bring Nora and Jamesy 
over at last! Whoroo! I’ve got it!” all felt a 
sympathy in his joy, ana each grasped his great 
hand in cordial congratulations, and one proposed 
to treat all round, and drink a good voyage to Nora. 
They parted in a merry mood, most of the men 
going to comfortable homes, But poor Connor’s 
resting place was a poor lodging house, where he 
Bhared a crazy garret with four other men, and in 
the joy of his heart the poor fellow exhibited his 
handkerchief, with his hard-earned savings tied np 
in a hard wad in the middle, before he put it under 
his pillow and fell asleep. When he wakened iD 
the morning, he found bis treasure gone. Some 
villain, more contemptible than mo6t bad men are, 
had robbed him. 
At first Connor could not even believe it lost. 
He searched every corner of the room, shook his 
quilt aud blankets, and begged those about him to 
“ quit joking and give it back.” 
But at last he realized the truth. 
“ Is any man that bad that it’s thaved from me ?” 
he asked, in a breathless way. “ Boys, is any man 
that bad ?” 
And some one answered — 
“ No doubt of it, Connor. It’s sthole. 
Then Connor put his head down on his hands and 
lifted up his voice and wept. It was one of those 
sights which men never forget. It seemed more 
than he could hear, to have Nora and his child 
“ put,” as he expressed it, “ months away from 
him again.” 
But when he went to work that day it seemed to 
all who saw him that he had picked up a new de¬ 
termination. His hands were never idle. His face 
seemed to say, “I’ll have Nora with me yet.” At 
noon he scratched out a letter, blotted and very 
strangely scrawled, telling Nora wbat had happen¬ 
ed ; and those who observed him noticed that he 
had no meat with his dinner. Indeed, from that 
moment he lived on bread, potatoes and cold water, 
and worked as few men ever worked before. It 
grew to be the talk of the shop, and now that sym¬ 
pathy was excited, every one wanted to help Con¬ 
nor. Jobs were thrown in his way, kind words and 
friendly wishes helped him mightily; but no power 
could make him Bhare the food or drink of any other 
workman. 
That seemed a sort of charity to him. Still he 
was helped along. A present from Mr. Bawn, at 
pay day, set Nora, as he said, “a week nearer,” and 
this and that and the other added to the little 
hoard. It grew faster than the first, and Connor’s 
burden was not so heavy. At last, before be hoped 
it, he was once more able to 6ay, “I’m goiug to 
bring them over,” and to 6how his handkerchief, in 
which, as before, he tied up his earnings; this time, 
however, only to his friends. Cautious among 
strangers, he hid the treasure, and kept his vest 
buttoned over it night and day nntil the tickets 
were bought and sent. Then every man, woman 
and child, capable of hearing or understanding, 
knew that Nora and her baby were coming. 
There was John Jones, who had more of the 
brute in his composition than usually falls to the 
lot of man—even he, who had coolly hurled his 
hammer at an offender’s head, missing him by a 
hair’s breadth, would 6pend ten minutes in the 
noon hour in reading the Irish news to Connor. 
There wa6 Tom Barker, the meanest man among 
the number, who had never been known to give 
any thiug to any one before, absolutely bartered an 
old jacket for a pair of gilt vases which a peddler 
brought in his basket to the shop, and presented 
them to Connor for his Nora’6 inantlo pieee. And 
here was idle Dick, the apprentice, who actually 
worked two hour’s on Connor’s work, when illness 
kept the Irishman at home one day. Connor felt 
this kindness, and returned it whenever it was in 
his power, and the days flew by and brought at last 
a letter from bis wife. 
“ She would start as he desired, and she was well 
and so was the boy, and might the Lord bring them 
safely to each other's anus, and bless those who 
had been so kind to bim.” That was the substance 
of the epistle which Connor proudly assured his 
fellow-workmen Nora wrote herself. She had lived 
at service, as a girl, with a certain good old lady, 
w ho had given her an education, the items of which 
Connor told upon his lingers,—“ The radin’, that’s 
one, and the writin’, that’s three, aud moreover, 
she knows all a woman can.” Then he looked up

In addition to these large cargoes ol Black and Japan Teas, 
■the Company are constantly receiving large invoices of the 
flneBt quality of Green Teas from the Moyune district of Chi¬ 
na, which are unrivaled for fineness and delicacy of flavor. 
To give our l eaders an idea Of the profits which have been 
made In the Tea trade before the establishment of TueGeeat 
Ajikbican Tea Company, we will start with the American 
houses, leaving out of the aeconnt entirely the profits of the 
Chinese factors. 
1st. The American house in China or Japan make3 large 
profits on their sales or shipments—and some of the richest 
retired merchants In the country have made their immense- 
fortunes through their houses in China. 
2d. The Banker makes large profitB upon the foreign ex¬ 
change nsed In the purchase of Teas. 
8d. The Importer makes a profit ol' 30 to 50 per cent. In 
many cases. 
4th. On Its arrival here it Is sold by the cargo, and the Pur¬ 
chaser Bells It to the Speculator in Invoices of 1000 to 5000 
packages, at an average profit of about 10 per cent. 
5th. The Speculator sells it to the Wholesale Tea Dealer in 
lines at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. 
6th. The Wholesale Tea Dealer sells It to the Wholesale 
Grocer In lots to suit his trade, at a profit of about 10 per 
cent. 
7th. The Wholesale Grocer sells It to the Retail Dealer at a 
profit of 15 to 25 per cent. 
8th. The Retailer sells it to the Consumer for all tub 
PEOF1T HB CAN GET. 
When you have added to these bight profits as many bro¬ 
kerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, and add 
the original cost of Tea, It wilL be perceived what the con¬ 
sumer had to pay. And now we propose to show why we 
can sell so very much lower than other dealers. 
We propose to do away with all these various profits and 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, with 
the exception of a small commission paid for purchasing to 
our correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and a 
small profit to oumclves — which, on our large sales, will 
amply pay us. , 
By our system of supplying Clubs throughout the country, 
consumers In all parts of the United States can receive their 
Teas at the same price (with the small additional expense of 
transportation.) aB though they bought them at our ware¬ 
houses In this city. 
For manner of getting up Clubs, see former advertisement 
lnlthls paper. 
Parties sending Club or other orders for less than thirty 
dollars had better send Post-Office Drafts or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by express; 
hut larger orders we will forward by express, to collect on 
delivery. 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to ths 
party getting up the Club. Our profita are small, but wa 
will be as liberal ns we can afford. We Bend no complimen¬ 
tary package for ClubB less than $30. 
Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely upon 
getting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the 
Custom House stores to our Warehouses. 
We warrant all the goods we sell to give entire satisfac¬ 
tion. If they are not satisfactory they can be returned at 
onr expense within 30 days, and have the money refunded. 
The Company have selected the following kinds from their 
stock, which they recommend to meet the wants of Clubs. 
They are sold at cargo prices, the same as ths Company sell 
them In New York, as the list of prices will show.

“ To the Memory of Patrick Connor, 
This simple stone was erected by hie Fellow-Workmen.” 
These words you may read any day upon a white 
slab in a cemetery not many miles from New York; 
but yon might read them an hundred times without 
guessing at the little tragedy they indicate, without 
knowing the humble romance which ended with the 
placing of that stone above the du6t of one poor 
and humble man. 
In his shabby frieze jacket and mud-laden brogans 
be was scarcely an attractive object as be walked 
into Mr. Bawn’s great tin and hardware shop, .one 
day, and presented himself at the counter with an— 
“I’ve been tould ye advertised for bands, yer 
honor." 
“ Fully supplied, my man,” said Mr. Bawn, not 
lifting his head from his account book. 
“ I’d work faithful, sir, and take low wages, till 1 
could do betther, and I’d learn aisy—I wwuld that." 
It was an Irish brogue, and Mr. Bawn always de¬ 
clared that he never would employ an incompetent 
hand. Yet the tone attracted him. He turned 
briskly and, with bis pen behind his ear, addressed 
the man, who was only one of the fifty who had 
answered his advertisement for fonr workmen that 
morning. 
“ What makes you expect to learn faster than 
other folks—are you any smarter?” 
“I’ll not say that,” said the man, “but I’d be 
wishing to; that ’ud make it aisyer.” 
“ Are you used to the work ?” 
“ I’ve done a bit of it.” 
“ Much ?” 
“ No, yer honor. I’ll tell no lie. Tim O’Toole 
hadn’t the like of this place; but I know a bit 
about tins.” 
“You are too old for an apprentice, and you’d 
be in the way, I calculate,” said Mr. Bawn, look¬ 
ing at the brawny arms and bright eyes that prom¬ 
ised strength and intelligence. “ Beside, 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 bringing ’em over

Jennt Lind gave a concert at Washington during 
the session of Congress, and sent invitations to the 
President, Mr. Fillmore, the members of the Cabinet, 
Mr. Clay, and many other distinguished membere of 
both Houses of Congress. It happened that od that 
day several members of the Cabinet and Senate were 
dining with Mr. Bodiec-o,' the Russian Minister. His 
good dinner and choice wines had kept the party so 
late that the concert was nearly over when Webster, 
Clay, Crittenden, and others came in. Whether from 
the hurry in which they came, or from the heat of 
the room, their faces were a little flushed, and they 
all looked somewhat flurried. 
After the applause with which these gentlemen 
had been received had subsided and silence was once 
more restored, the second part of the concert, was 
opened by Jenny Lind with “Hail Columbia.” At 
the close of tbe first verse, Webster’s patriotism 
boiled over; he could stand it no longer; and rising 
like Olympian Jove, he added his deep, sonorous, 
bass voice in the chorus. Mrs. Webster, who sat 
immediately behind him, kept tugging at his coat 
tail t.o make him sit down or stop singing; but it 
was of no earthly use, and at the close of each verse 
Webster joined in, and it was hard to say whether 
Jenny Lind, Webster, or the audience were the most 
delighted. At the close of the air, Mr. Webster 
arose, hat in hand, and made her such a bow as 
Chesterfield would have deemed a fortune for his 
son, and which eclipsed D’Ursay’sheet. Jenny Lind, 
blushing at the distinguished honor, curtsied to the 
floor; the audience applauded to the very echo; 
Webster, determined not to be outdone in politeness 
bowed again; Miss Lind recurtsied, the house re¬ 
applauded, and this was repeated eight or nine
