A PERSISTENT WOOER.

/_ very amus!n« incident took place in Queenstown harbour, as related by Captain Ai.dre \v Hazard in Ulnehwoud. Two pirtty Irish xirls who had embarked on our : siiip were on tlie arrival of the Servia in th.it port soon alter joined by a gentleman who had come by mail Irom England, and who came oft' from the shore on the steamertender. This gentleman, with the most excited and pantomimic gestures, begged one of these lair maiden- to return to shire with him and become his bride. Before his arrival on board h« lud, wo learned, sent her live telegrams to tlio same effect, to i prevent her departure if possible. But the young lady at lir. t appeared to be obdurate, lor the unfortunate man was seen going off again to the shore on the tender, hatles-s, and holding out his outstretched arms imploringly to the lady ol his love. But th.it man was not to 'be beat. He returned when the lender came bae . sigain with tho List mails, and this timo he brought a parson • with him. This pled, c- of the honesty ot his intentions of mum-in-,' her had, I understand, been exacted liy this cautions Irish lady as a condition of her .oin^aslure with him. She now went wilh him, and the Servia sailed without her. Let us hope they were happy ever after.
