She iJaUcd'on "flVpf(ftWf^titS him; leurued dtffiouj^t soqgsy that he might easily catch the air, and fling them to other girls; listened to his eulogies on the beauty, grace and Bwcet rJtess of Lilly, .Rose, or Yiolet, which over ,.ho chanced to be the besi *pleaaed with at the time.

Ada was beatftiful, truly; perfeot in form and features', with n shower of golden ringlets ; a complexion fair, aud as delicately tinted as the pearly sea t-ludl; eyes ue blue ns the summer sky? languishing eyes, that ever flowed with tho same soil, sweet light. s?? Never were two w jmen more dissimi lar (hen Ada Whiting und Aileeu Wild. Aud when Mrs. Livingston saw them standing together, sh'i thought how much Ada's beauty was enhanced by thre contrast, for Aillecn wus a pale,. saL low, little tliiugj whom no one had over thought pretty, and. beside the fair beauty that Mrs. Livingstou had deter mined should be her daughter, the poor I'fj^ge appea^ix^^ery plum looking.

She had but little doubt of the final success of her pluu. Thor? was one thing, however, that Mrs. LiViDusfbn ?l!ri ???? itf-1 the necessity of Warning Ralph against it. It was this, ihut when he would lutend tu read lor the eutertaiumcnt ol Ada and his mother, he would invari ably ask, '^Where is Aileen ?" and wait until she was Bout for uud came. "Why do yoji do so, Ralph ?" MrB. Livinggtoue asked,.''Ada will think you rather .more ?tteutive tu>.Aileeu thau is necessary, under tjio circuiustancos.

Yes, he must do what was right?what Ada. his 'maJrter, and the world expected. Absorbed iu thought, he continued. With this detertniiM'mp ho sought Ada, tuld bis love, and won her promise tu be his. He bolieved;h i nisei f happy, but one thing' marring hi* pleasnre. Could she love as another might ? What if poverty, m danger of auy kind threatened, would she brave all for him." dreaded .dtaonse amr upon him. Ser vants fled; friou 1 ? came uot ; and when he called for Ad^to come and cool his ?fevered brow, the doctor tried to soothe him, and hide thu shameful truth. She too had fled?among the firiU Oh, how he suffered ! No gentle hand to soothe, uo luviug voice to whisper word* of ci mfort! Dying alone 1 and then his heart knew but oue wish of etrth?to Fee Ailecn. Yet he breathed, it -not. ?5he must not come near to him to" breatlie the fatal air. Lying thinking of her he felt a soft little hand pressed gently on his brow. She was with hiihT, kneeliog by his side. "Ailecn ! Ailecn ! darling, awoy '. uway !" he cried. Do you know 'tis death here '?" i 4% . "No, Ralph 'Tis life to bo^witlh you,*' she answered, pressing her lips to his and inhaling his death bearing breath. She stayed by him, clung to him. Death was robbed of his terrors then, i The lost souud that fell Ott hhi car was*j an agoniziug cry from Ailauii, as they strove to draw her from him. And Halph Livingston spraug up? not from death, but his dream ? and stood gnxiog bewildered nt the scone be fore him. Ada und Ailcen both stood by; the first pale and trembling; the other pale too, but with a look of de termination and courage On the ground a few paces from her leet, lay a twMvJtiivwa ouuikU, stuuiiL'ii uy the force with which she had throwu it d?-WD. In a moment, Ralph, as if by instinct, knew nil. And Ada in the same sweet emotiouless manner, told that they had come to hunt for him, by bis mother's desire, and found him sleeping. And she had stooped down to awaken him, when she had discovered the dreadful snake stealing round his neck. She run away so frighteued. And Aileen went up, ul.hougl/ehe told her it would suroly bite her?and caught it close up by the head, drew it off and dashed it to the ground. Ralph's dream flashed back to his miud so vividly then ! and he felt to ward Aileen as he bad never before,and was much relieved to be sure that he was not bound to the cold, beautiful girl beside him, and believed if she should ever be bis, it would be as in the dream. If danger thieaUned, she would fly. While Aileen?dear, noble, loving Aileen;?he k new ^ she. would never desert the man who called her his. She Would cling by to save, or die with him.
