A£anj years ago the good ship Cleopatra arriyed in Baltimore with a hundred steerage passengers from the Emerald Isle. Among the num ber were two j.oung men from Tj- rone, who had married just on thd eye of sailing, and had come wdth; their buxom brides to seek their for tunes in America. The latter had grown np side by side from girlhood and were intimate as sisters. The former were no less intimate and at tached to each other. The names of these adventurers w^ere Terence Leary and his wife Margaret, and Andy O’Shaiie and his wife Biddy, or Bridget. The first idea of coining to America had been suggested by Leary, who was a quick, intelligent young man, and had conceived a notion that a for tune was to be made in the new country across the Atlantic, from which ever and anon were coming the most inspiring intelligence of the enterprising and ambitious. He had been during two or three years gardner for an Irish gentleman, in whose family Maggy, his wife, and for some time before their marriage acted as chambermaid. O’Shane was a drapers clerk; he had been better educated than Leary, both as regards school and home educa tion ; and the same would be said of Bridget, in comparing ber with her friend Margaret. Notwith standing this difference, the young men and their wives, as has been said, were intimate friends, and when the matter of going to Ajner- ica was decided upon by Leary and Maggy, O’Shane and Biddy were not long in making up their minds to go with them. After settling for their passage and entering the vessel in which they were to sail, their joint wealth consisted of about SO sovereigns. This was to he the basis of their fortunes in thq^ new world. Leary, who was more talkative than liis friend, had a great deal to say aboiit what they would do on arriving in America.^ He proposed that they should unite theirinterestsandstand by each other in all good or evil fortune. ‘‘Heavenknows,Andy,”he would sometimes say, “ that I ’d divide me last, wid yees, ony day. And Mag gy has the same feelin’ for Biddy, bless her sweet soul I” To expressions of this kind the more thoughtful and reserved, but equally warm-hearted Andy would repdy, that'while he could lift a hand or earn a penny, the friends of his early years should be as the^ mem- bers of Ms own housebold. ‘ With such feelings, and in mutual confidence, the young emigrants landed in Baltimore, where they soon made the acquaintance of some of thejr own countrymeu, and gain ed a little information . in regard to husinegg^and the piospect before them. Heither of these were found to be very encouraging. Leaiy was thv first who obtained employment; it was in the capacity of a common laborer in digging out cellars and foundations for houses about being erGctecl. This was several weeks after their arrival,, and when their few sovereigns had become much fewer than when they set their foot on the' land of strangers. It was some time after this before O'Shane got anything to do, and this was n.ot until he had seen nearly his last farthing. During the discouraging period - that* elapsed between the finding of work by Leary and the getting of employment by O’Shane, not a word was said by the former, who had become reserved toward O’Shane, about dividing his last crust with him and Biddy, A single sovereing remained of the ten which made up the'fentire wealth of O’Shane when lie had landed in the Uni|ed ^States, aiid his chances of geting something to do seemed no betterqthan .at first. This sovereing he di^rinj^jd'to in vest in sundry sm ^ 4 ^ a r^, and try what he could do*ii'p,eddSiiig them abou|; from ho^ge to Rouse. In this he was more luccessfiil than he had expected ; his^f ofits. were from the first, enough |b meet his small ex- pensQS, and afterward to gradually increase his stcy^k in trade, which, from being only the value of a sovereing al first, was, in the course of a few months worth manj sover eigns. The digging of cellars was hard work, much harder than attending to a gentleman’s garden, and Leary, as soon aa.ho savi’’ that O’Shane was doing very well at peddling, be came so much dissatisfied with his employment, that he determined to give it up and to try what he could do with the ‘pack.’ He had still nearly five sovereigns laid by, and was about investing them, under the advice of his friend O’Shane, in goods suitable for the trade of a peripatetic dealer,vLen lie was taken sick, and lay ill for several weeks. His expenses and doctor’s bill du ring this time took away all his lit tle capital, and he was about return ing with a sour sjiirit to his spade and mattock, when O’Shane gener ously offered to loan him enough to make a fair start as a peddler. With grateful feelings this kind tender of his was accetited. The interests of the two young men being now more really united than they had yet been, and as both were required to be much from home, a small house was taken between them, and their families united in order to lesson expense. This arrangment continued for about a year and a half, during which pe riod Leary and O’Shane reaped a very fair harvest on their labors. At the end of this time the former having saved about three hundred dollars, laid by his pack and open ed a ‘grocery and liquor store.’ About the same time a situation at the south, with a very fair salary, was offered to O’Shane and accept ed by him. At this point the ways by which the two friends were to travel in the world, diverged. They parted with many sincere ex pressions of friendship and mutual pledges to aid each other in any future extremities, if the power to do so remained. With- three hundred dollars, shrewdness, industry and economy in personal and family expenses,suc- cess in the grocery and liquor busi ness was certiau.—Six years from the day Leary put out his sign, he sold out his shop, and commenced the business of a wholesale dealer in groceries in general, but rum and whiskey in particular, on Bowlej’s wharf. He was then worth ten or fifteen thousand dollars, and deemed it but due to Ms increased-importance as a merchant, to assume a style of living rather more imposing than the Rack rooms of a grog-shop. But ev e n in gratifying Ris pride Leary was cautious not to put the main chance in jeapordy. A Rouse and four hundred dollars laid out in parlor and some additional chamber furniture, covered tbe length and ■breadth of his extravagance at this era in Iris history. ‘ Durrng the i ^wRole of this period he had heard nothing from O’Shane, except that of his arrival at Charleston^ the place of his destination, which'Re found as it had been rejiresented to him, and the situation he haft ac cepted would enable him. if he kept his health, to lay np something. The change that had passed, over Terence Leary in ten years was''quite reniarkable. When he landed from the Cleopatra, he was a fair' speci men of a roughs healthy, coarse, young irishman,'and retained fhfs appeay|nce'until he got behind Ris counter, at which time a gradual process of tinnsformation commenc ed. The corduroy trowsers gave way to cassinett pants, the coarse roundabout to a long-tailed coat, and the seal-skin cap to a black beaver with a shining surface; the stout u^ell-greased brogans that had carried him many a weary mile, over rough roads as well as smooth ones, were thrown aside, and boots well blacked were worn in- their stead ; they were the first blacked boots that had ever covered his feet. In this new dress, Leary at first hardly knew himself, but he was not long in forgetting that he had ever worn any garments of inferior quality. The .-.constant attendance upon customers, with the necessity of handling himself all the various commodities he had to sell, prevent ed Leary from making any further material alterations in his every day external appearance, until he ceased to be a retail dealer, and wrote him self a ‘ merchant.’ At this period, the change in the man became very apparent; he stood at least ten iii*f ches higher. The reason was, his chin had become elevated precisely that much farther above the point where the collar bone rests against the sternum. He shaved or was shaved every morning; there was a timo when once or twice a week was.' clee.nsd'sulficienti' IBs riiueu was faultless, and renewed every morning ; his black coat and pants guiltless of any sign of hard service. A few years more and Terence Leary, Esq., was a man of wealth, stau.di[ig and importance ; one of the ‘fii'st merchants of the city to his equals exceedingly polite, but to his inferiors in situation, overbearing and offensive. A poor laboring man or clerk was treated by him more like a dog than a human be ing. He had no sympathies what ever with the poorer classes—actu- ery thing not pos- attractions. One day, it was twenty years from the time the ways of the young Irishmen became diverged, Leary was sitting in his countirig-rooni, when two natives of the Emerald Isle, a man and a woman, entered the store. They were plainly but not roughly dressed. Leary recog nized them in an instant. They were his old friends, Andy and Bid dy O’Sbane. The sight of them-did not give him much pleasure, espec ially as there were present in his counting-room, two or three mer chants of the ‘first standing,’ “Go and see what those people want,” he said in atone of command to one of iiis clerks. “If they ask for me, tell them I ’m engaged and can’t see them now.” The clerk met Andy and Biddy, half way down the store. “Is Mr. Leary in ?” asked O’- Shaiie. “He is. engaged at psesent.” “Nfo matter, he will se us,” re plied O’Shane, pushing oil past the clerk, who tried, but in vain to keep him back. To the consternation of the mer chant O’Shane and Biddy entered boldly into his counting-room, the former extended his hand as he ad vanced to him, and in a voice of pleasure exclaimed— ^ , “Terence mon I. how are ye?” ' ' Blit Leary fixed a cold, repulsive look upon his old warm-hearted friend, and declined. taking his. hand. “Don’t ye know me, mon ?,.don’t ye know Andy O’JShane ? Didn’t we come from, old Tryone ? Bless the dear soil I-r-and -wasnft you a gardner’s man “there, and I a dra per’s clerk? And w a s n ’t Biddy here and your own wife. Kqggyyasj intimate as born sisters? Terenqe Leary moni don’t ye know me nowf The Irishman spoke with enthu siasm. . _ ^ “Go ’way .man; go^ ’way,” said Leary, turning his Read and wayr ing for O’SRahe and Ms wife’fto retire; “tliere’s a time for airthings^ and a place for all tRings.” ....... The whole manner of the ..Irish man instantly changed, and he drew himself'up with dignity— “Go way, d’ ye say, Tereuee Lear j he replied; “Go ’way is; it now ? I t ' wasn’t;' so, Teddy, whea •,. ye got the fever from hard work-in the hot sun, diggin’ cellars. Oh no . it wasn’t go 'way then, ;Teddy l> jjt wasn’t' go ’way -whenij I loaned j o , two-Sovereighs to, fit. yo-’out:for a ■ ' trumfi with .the .pack, and helped ye*- * ontilly’r feet after sickness I- Dh,. no, it wasn’t go ’way-then, Teddy. But never mind; the world is wide, and so, good bye till yees. Come Biddy. And O’Shane turned and walked . slowly away with his wife, Leary was angry and mortified . beyond measure at this interview# by which former low associates and former low occupations were expos ed to two or three dignified mer- ' chants, who, pitying his emharassed position, soon, withdrew and left him to his no very pleasant refiections. Mrs. Margaret Leafy'was no Jess outraged by the assurance of th^r old acquaintance, when her husband related what had happened, than had been Mr. Terence Leary him self. “ LYe’ll have ’em thrusting them selves in here upon. us, I suppose,, next^thing. Biddy was always bold and forwpd and never had any sense of iDropriety; but she will not want to come here twice if she comes once, I can tell her.” A few hours after this remark was hiadejMi^i Leary was informed that thereYvas a woman in the parlor* who wished to see her. “ Who is it ?” was asked. “ She says her name is O’Shane.”' The color instantly mounted te tbe lady’s face. “ Tell her I ’m not at home.” ^ The servant, went back to tR |jar- “ Mrs. Leary is not at Rome,’’ R^ ^aid. “ But you told me,” returned Mrs. O’Shane, “ that she was at home.” “I know,” said the waiter,rudely, “ but I find that she is not at home to you.” “ You told her my name ?” “ Yes.’’ “ \What did you say it was ?” “Mrs. O’Shane.” ‘•You are certain?” “ Yes, sure of it.” The visitor retired slowly, with her eyes cast do-i;?n. There were bitter feelings at her heart. The- friend of her early years, the com panion of her early trials, the partner of her early hopes and fears, to meet with whom, and to find affection unchanged, had been the dear hope of many years; had turned coldly from her. Hot at home to me,” she sighed to herself as she walked away ftom the handsome dwelling of her old friend. “ RTot atRometo me. Tried and found wanting. AR,well! better to know this than take;by,the hand a false-hearted friend.^’^- Leary and; his wife were not a little disturbed by the occurrences ^ just related. The , .assurance of, O’Shane and his wife' came not again near the old friends of other days, who -wished to forget them. This was a relief to the Leary’s, who for some time after lived in dread of another visitation. In the western part .of the city, among a number of elegant Rouses in the process of erection, one larger and more indicative of the substan tiality of its owner, went steadily up from basement to cornice, and stood forth to the eye an object of admiration, and a proof of wealth in the builder. . : ‘That will be a splendid residence,’’ said Leary to a merchantile friend,; ■ with .whom‘he happened to he; walking one Sunday afternoon, i ‘I wonder who it is for ?’ ‘It is said to- be for a Hew Or leans merchant of great wealth, who has retired from business and in tends residing here for the purpose of educating his .younger children.’ ‘A h !
