114 WILLY BURKE; OR, " Only four dollars, Peter ; an' I have two an' a half of that now ". " Why, I thought you had no money at all, after buy in' your new clothes last week ?" said Peter with surprise. " Well, neither I had, only ten cents, an' I bought * sweeties ' for that for Biddy an' Ally, when I had them out on the Fourth ; but then every one of us in the store an' in the warehouse got some pocket-money, &nd they gave me nothing less than two dollars in bills ; then Mrs. Williams gave the children a quarter each when they were coming out on Friday raornin*, and they gave it to me to put in with the rest. So you see that makes two dollars and a half, an' you can easily give the remainder —its only one dollar and a half we want, you know. A stone would come to more, they tell me ; but, somehow or other, even if it was as cheap, I ? d rather have a white cross. I like to see a cross over a grave, an' I 'm sure mother herself, if she could know anything about it, would like it better than any head-stone. What do you think, Peter ? for I want your advice before it goes farther". " Well ! I don't care much which you put up", said Peter, " so long as there's anything put in it for de- cency's sake. But to tell you the truth, Willy !" here a deep blush mounted to his very forehead— " to tell you the truth, I can 't help you to do it now, for I haven 't a shilling in the world. You must wait a little till I can spare the money !" "Why", said Willy, in a tone of chagrin, "hadn't you two dollars when you left us ? an' haven 't got anything new since then, except that vest ?"
THE IRISH ORPHAN IN AMERICA. 115 " That 's true enough", was the confused reply ; " but I went out with some other boys on Friday, an' somehow or other I got through every penny of what I had, an' borrowed half a dollar besides of Harry Lambert. I 'm sure, if I thought about this affair, I wouidn 't have spent the money as I did ". " You know we had agreed", said Willy, in a sorrowful accent, " that we were to do it as soon as we could raise the money between us, an' when I got that two dollars I was sure we had enough ; so I went an' spoke to a man that Mrs. Williams directed me to, an' he was to make the cross this week. But there 's no use in talkin' about it now ; I can tell him not to mind doin ? for the present, that 's all". " But can't either you or I get a couple of dollars in advance ?" asked Peter. " No, indeed", rejoined his brother, "it ? s far better to wait a few weeks longer than to be askin' money before it 's earned. I '11 not do that at all. When we havn't the money we must only wait. Come away an' see Biddy an' Ally". When, in the course of the afternoon, the brothers and sisters were again together and ready for a walk, they agreed to go after vespers and see Mrs. O'Grady, whom they had not seen for several weeks. They went accordingly, and were grieved to find that times were sadly altered with that worthy woman and her family. Her husband had fallen into bad health, and had been some time out of employment, while her son—-the main hope of the household— had been induced to go to sea. They were now all depending on what Mrs, O'Grady and her oldest daughter could earn by washing and going out charing. it
