Livingston .knew the time was "."ffiTsTlsysfrtM^ :so ehe thought to anticipate his choice* by selecting a wile for liW; fearing his hourt h.iuht-kettle on one not t.'grcenblo to her; She lell jealous of every pretty girl in town, aud feared thOm?suve one right at home: Hut then Aileou wae nut ueuuiifui, and. of course, sue had n6 idea of the uirl who was friendless, u d-'petident on her bounty^ as one to eon next, evtm in thought, with her son. No, Ailceu.^poor child ! w js uot to be feared. ?Sho waited on Ralph; read to him; leurued difficujjt sougsy that he might easily catch the uir, and sing them to other girls; listened to his eulogies on the beauty, grace and sweet ness of Lilly, .Rose, or Violet, whieh ever he chanced to be the best pleased with at the time. Before Aileen kpew Ralph's nature so well, 6hc would steal away to her room and weep as if her loving little heart would break?why, she would never acknowledge even to horself? when lee would talk to her of the girl he admired so much But after a time Aileen could listen and smile, for she felt hit heart kuow uot the mighty ,,UWCr' ...? Ada Whiting, the daughter of hjir dearest friend.' was the choice of Mrs. Livinjtcdou, und so she set herself about to have it as she wished. Fortune furbred her just then. Mrs. Whiting's health beitig very feeble, hw p?? sic.ians advised a wiuter South. Aua Was tnueh av .-r.->c to goiug, and s-> it wua an easy ta*k for MVs. Livingston to persuade Mr. and Mrs. Whiting tcleuvu their daughter to her luve and care. Aud so the beautiful Ada became one of Mm. Livingston's family. Ada was bearfliful, truly ; perfect iu form and features, with a shower of golden ringlets ; a complexion fair, and ns delicately tinted a** the pearly sea shell; eyes us blue ns the summer sky? languishing eyes, that ever glowed with he same soft, sweet light. Never were two'Wimen m:>re dissimi lar (hen Ada Whiting und Ailoon Wild. And wheu Mrs. Livingston saw (hem standing together, she thought how much Ada's beauty was enhanced by tit* contrast, for Aillecn was a pale, sal low, little.thingj whom no one had ever thought pretty, and. beside the fair' beauty that Mrs. L-iviugxtoti had deter mined should be her daughter, the poor protege appeared very pl.iiu looking. But lAilecn had eyes that would have woo for any woman that bad a little tact, ond withmthe aid of art, tha reputa tion cl a beauty ? r^es so large and d rk, with a world of love und passion glow ing away down in her Gcpths. .Mu. Livingston was well satisfied with the prospect of affairs. She hud but little doubt of the final sueoess of her plan. 'ri?..-? f|,?Wk ?? - ?!???? Mrs. Livingston did uot like and felt the necessity uTwarning Ralph against it. It was this, that when he would tutend to read i.er the eutertniumcut ol Ada and his mother, he would iu vari ably usk, - Where is Ailecn ?" aud wait until bbe- was Kent for aud came. "Why do yo*i do so, Ralph ?" Mrs. Liviiigsioue asked, "Ada will think you i nth er mere attentive tOuA?ecn than is necessary, under tJjie circumstances In fact, it looks as if you read tnore purlieu j Inrly for Ailc'cu*s benefit. And last I ni?hi f iiuticed, and so must Ada, taat you coinn onced 3our reading with only one auditor, and that neither your mofh'-r nor her guest/' "Did I? Well, mother, really I was very remiss j but?. Well, the truth is, Aileen not only appreciates the subjoct, bnt shows it. Ada hears all seulimcnts, n > matter how varied, with tho same sweet expression of oye and tougm*. WliVj mother, the most glowing descrip tions, puthiouute und pathetic appeals thaj ever flowed from inspired poet's brain, fail to draw forth from,her au exclamation rrfber thau, "It's pretty< is it notV*; wftilo Aileon's dark faeo lights np, Her glorious eyes sparkle and glow with Inspiration caught from the joem, ?-,r "M w-;?-???1?r~! and she expresses her appreciation in words that would satisfy the ambition of the most exacting author. That-is why throws off. the little plain face, and grows really beautiful at such times, answered Ralph, while his mother ga*ed, really amazed at ttis words and manner. At length, after a moment's pause, ahn said : "One who did not Understand you Ralph, would be in doubt which of the two you were in love with. Let me ad vise you my Son to be careful. Ailoen might bo foolish enough to misinterpret your feelings and actions, and Ada might withdraw her favor." *** * Ralph was about to answer, when a sigh, a rustle of dress caught bis ear, and starting up, he said : "Do not worry mother, I'll do what is right." Ho walked out oPtho conservatory and lobkSu1 around, but no one was visible '"His mother had started a train of tfiought that hud been touched before, and he wutujeied off from the l>ouso, and threw himself down on a shady mound to commune with his own h'eart. Yes, ho mast know himself. Did he love AduF And Aileen?wh it of her 7 Never for a moment had be thought of her, except as she was, his friend, his confident; she would not misunderstand his kindness. His mother's counsel was needless. Ada loved him, he felt sure ; und although he h id never-told her so, ho had certainly given her reason to be lieve he loved her. Yes, he must do what was right?what Ada, his mother, and the world expected'. Absorbed iu thought, he continued. With this determination ho sought Ada, tuld bis love, and won her promise ty be his. He boljeved himself happy, but otic tinm; marring hi* pleasure. Could she love as auothcr might ? What if poverty, or danger of any kind threatened, would she brave all fur him." Ah '. the trial came soon enough. A dreaded disease eauie upon him. Ser vatius Oed; frie?Ti ox me not ; and when he called for Ad i^to conic and cool his fevered brow, tho doctor tried to soothe him. and hide tho .-diumt'fu) truth. She too had fled?among the first. Oh, how he suffered ! No gentle hand to soothe, uo loving voice to whisper wordi of c> mfutt! Dying alone ! and then his heart knew but one wish of earth?to foc Aileen. Yet he breathed, it not. She must uot come ucar to hitu to' breathe the fatal air. Lying thinking of her he felt a soft little hand pressed gently on his brow. She was with hiifi, kneeling by his sido. ''Ailoen ! Aileen ! darling, away ! away !" he cried. Do you know 'tis . death here '!" av "No, Ralph TL- life to bo with you,'' she Answered, presijiug her Hps to his aud inhaling his death bearing bruath. She stayed by him, clung to him. Death was robbed of his terror* then. The last sound that fell ou bin ear was an agonizing cry from Ailuuii, us they strove to draw her from him. Auu Ralph Livingston sprang up? uot from death, but his dream ?and stood gaeiog bewildered at tho scone be fore him. Ada and Aileen both stood by ; the first pale and trembling ; the other pale too, but with a look of de termination and oonr tgo On the i^JJ..... i _ /? _ ?* -. - ? . . ' ? ?? ? - frightful, vouomous snukt;, stunned by the force with which she had throwu it down. In a moment, Ralph, as if by instinot, knew nil. And Ada in the same sweet emotionless manner, told that they had come to hunt lor bim, by his mother's desire, and found him sleeping. And she had stooped dmvn to awaken him, when slio had discovered the dreadful snake stealing round his neck. She ran away so frightened. And Aileen wont j up, ul hougl/she told her it would suroly bite her?and caught it e!ose up by the head, drew it off and dashed it to the ground. Ralph'* dream flashed back to his mind so vividly then ! and he (elt to ward Aileen as he bad never before,and was much relieved to be sure that he wus not hound to the cold, beautiful girl beside him, and believed if she should ever be his, it would be as in the dream. If danger threatened, she would fly. While Aileen?dear, noble, loving Aileen;?he knew^ she, would never desert the man who called her his. She woulrf cling by to save, or die with him.

Ralph wnn very^quiet after their re turn to thh house^Jgecould nW^nTarr from his mind the occurcnce which hud so plainly shown him'tho difference in tlie character of the girls. He was dis appointed in Ada, and something almost amounting to cfislihe was steuling Into his heart against b? ; while Ailecn' was growing hourily ttearer to him. How pretty nhc looked that evening, he thought. And iudced Mrs. Living stou gazed at herzendifondered what bad come over tftc girl to make her look so bnght and happy. Ralph longod to bo with her alope. -ffo found an oppor tunity during t,heeTOnirjg. After again thanking her, ho said : '?Did y?u not know how deadly was that bite ?" "Certainly.

Her face grew palter than usual then. She was striving to stdi the wild throb bing of" her heart, aud hide its secret tod. "Would you not,TAiloen ?" he asked. "Wculd not any woman?" bhc re turned, vciHng her eyea. "IMar. Aileen, ttyi#u had Uao^iK-that snake would have bitten yon, would you have touched it?have braved death fur me?'* he asked, -striving to citch her rye.

"You have uo right to iusist?to speak thus to me," she answered, still evading his gaze. "I ba,-c, dear, 'Aileen, the right to know the heart oil the woman I love !? Now look at me, and see if I am not speaking the truth !" ' Will you- answer me novf, dear Ailean ?" he askek, opening his arms. "Yuu know!" she subbed He caught her to bin bosom, and said : "My own sweet darling! My brave little Ailecn I" Mrs. Livingston waj dreadfully dis appointed. Rut her boy's will was her law, apd she accepted us gracefully as possible what the coul 1 uui avert. Many of hi? friond-i, no doubt., mar veiled at his choice of a wile, and hj though he knew it ho cared not; for to him Ailoen is more than beautiful.

At a recent trial, the counsel lor tho prosecution, after sevorely cross-ox nnin iug witness, suJdenly put oti a look of severity, cod exclaimed : "Jjow, sir, was uot an effort made to i.iduco you to tell a different story ?" "A different story from what I have tjld, do you mean ?" "That's what I tu^n " ?'Yes, sir, several psraous have tried to get me to tell a different story from what I have told, but tbey couldn't." "Now, sir, upon your oath, J wish to know who those persons are." "Well, you've tried about as hard as any of them." He was questioned no further on that point.

Dinah Ilucklebcc was at this time, by common consent, the darkey belle of Thompson street. Her hair was the kinkiest, her skin the shiniest, her teeth the whitest, and her lips the thickest. Dinah wns the daughter, of poor but honest, parents. Her father was con nected with the" pennut iuterest, and her mother drrnk bad gin with assiduity worthy a better cause. Therefore Dinah's exchequer was as lean as S church mouse. Her. wardrobe was not extensive. Her education had been sadly "egieoted: ^ fl0;JtJft|1|H|?!l Iu the course of'Thompson and Sulli van street events,rit fell out that duffee Johnson and Dinah Hnoklobee fell in love.
