Ralph Livingston was ono ot fortune's
most favored children ; ynnnjr, in good
health, linndsomn. and very rich,
I nlph ws'H the only ''hjfc^tf a widow
ed ninthcr, ami the luftijM?ssentat i ve
of an old and proucPr?ce. He was a
universal faVorito.
Mrs. Livingston knew the time was
coming when her son.,would fpajrry, aad
so bIic thought to anticipate his choice
by selecting a wife for Imu ; fearing his
heart hiiuht fettle on one not agreeable
to her. iShe felt jealous of every pretty
girl in town, and feared them?save one
right at home. Hut then Aileou was
not beautiful, and. of course, she had no
idea of the itirl who was friendless, a
dependent on lier'Wjtirity. ns one to con
nevt, eV'Oj iu thought, with her son.
No, Aileen. poor child ! w?a not to be
feared. She watted on Ralph ; read to
him ; learned difficult songs, that he
might ea.-ily catch the air, and sing
them to other girls ; listened to his
eulogies on the beauty, grace and sweet
ness of Lilly, Jlose, or Violet, which
ever he chanced to be the besi pleased
with at the time.
Before Aileen knew Ralph's nature
so well, she would stud away to her
room and w*cp as if her loving little
heart would break?why, she would
never acknowledge even to herself?
when he would talk to her of the girl he
admired so muuh But after a time
Aileen ee-uld listen and smile, lor she
feit hin heart knew not the mighty
power.
Ada Whiting, the daughter of her
dearest friend, was the choice of i?Jn>. !
LiyinjatO.il, and so she set herself about
to have it as she wished. Fortune
fanned her just then. Mrs. Whitiug's
health being very feeble, nor phy
sieiaii.s advised a wiuter South. Ada j
was inueh averse to goiig, and so it !
wa? an easy tank for Mrs. Livingston to i
persuade Mr. and Mrs. Whiting tc leavu j
their daughter to her love and care, j
And so the beautiful Ada became one ?
of Mrs. Livingston's family.
Ada was beautiful, truly; perfect iu
form and features, with a shower of
golden ringlets ; a complexion fair, and
as delicately tinted at* the pearly sea
shell) cyts as blue ti? the summer sky ?
languishing eyes, that ever glowed with j
the same soft, sweet light. i<
Never were two wmien more dissimi
lar (lien Ada Whiting and Ailoon Wild.
Aud when Mrs. Livingston saw them |
standing together, she thought how j
much Aila'.s beauty was enhauecd by
tire contract, for Ailleen was a pale, Sal
low, little thing, whom no one hail ever 1
thought* pretty, and. beside the fair
beauty that Mrs. Liviugston had deter
mined should be her daughter, the poo;
i.rote-e appeared.very plain looking.
But Aikcn had eyes tlut would have
won for any woman that had a little
taet, in d with.the aid of ait, the reputa
tion ol a beauty?r^es so large and d rk,
with a world of love and passion glow
ing aw;.) dowu in her (u-pths.
Mrs. Livingston was well satisfied
with the prospect of affairs. She bad
but little doubt of the final success of
in r pluti.
There was one thing, however, that
Mis. Livingston did not like and felt
iuc necessity t?i warning ifalph :ig?u?>t
? i. It was this, that when he would
intend to read lor the entertainment ol
Ada and his mother, he would invari
ably ask, "Where is Aileen '('' aud wait
until she was sent for aud came.
' Why do you do so, Ralph '!" Mrs.
Livingsloue asked, "Ada will think you
lather mure attentive tu Alleen than U
necessary, under the circumstances In
fact, it looks as if you read more particu
fitly for Aileen s benefit. And last
night 1 noticed, and so f?llst Ada, laat
you town enccd sour reading with only
one auditor, und that neither youi
mother nor her gm >t."
"bid 1 ? Well, mother, really I was
very remiss j but?. Well, the truth is.
Aileen not only appreciates the subject,
but -how:, it. Ada hears all sentiment-,
n > matter how varied, with tho same
awect expression of oyo aud tougu ?.
Why, mother, the most glowing descrip
tions, puu>iouulo and pathetic appeals
that ever flowed from iuspired poet's
brain, fail to draw !orth from.her an
exclamation other thau, "It's prctty.j is
it not?"; wrfilo Ailcun's $urk faco lights
lip, Vr glorious eyes apttrkle aud glow
wi,th in^niration caught from the r^cm,
and she expresses her appreciation in
words that would satisfy the ambition of
the most exacting author. That-is why
I lovo to read to tier., absolutely
throws off the little plain face, sod
grows really beautiful at such times,
answered Rnlph, while his mother gared,
really amazed at bis words and manner.
At length, after a moment's pause, she
saidj
"One who did not understand you
Ralph, would bs in doubt which of the
two you were in love with. Lot me ad
vise you uiy Son to be careful. Ailcen
might bp foolish onougji to misinterpret
your feelings and actions, and Ada
might withdraw her favor."
Ralph was about to answer, when a
sigh, a rustle of dress caught his ear,
a:id starting up, he said :
"Do not worry mother, I'll do what is
right."
He walked out oPthe conservatory
ai.d lookc-3 around, but no one was
visible His mother had started a train
of thought that had been touched before,
and he wundered off from the bouse,
and threw himself dowu on a shady
mound to commune with his owa heart.
Yes, he must know himself. Did he
lovo Ada? And AileOn?whit of her ?
Never for a moment had he thought, of
her, except as she wat, his friend, his
confidont; she would not mi*under*tab$l
hi.s kindness. His mother's counsel was
needless. Ada loved him, he felt sure ;
and although he had never told her so,
ho had certainly given her r-ason to be
lieve he loved her. l es, he must do
what was right?what Ada, his mother,
and the world expected. Absorbed in
thought, he continued.
With this detcrmiu itioo ho sought
A<1?, tuld bis love, and won her promise
to be his. He believed himself happy,
but one thing marring hi* pleasure.
Could she love as nuothcr might ? I
What, if poverty, or danger of auy kind
threatened, would she brave all for him."
Ah '. the trial came soon enough. A
dreuued disease came upon him. Ser
vants lied; frieuli came hot; and when
he called for Adito come and cool his
levered brow, the doctor tried to soothe
him, and hide tho siuimcfol truth. She
too had lied?umong the first. j
Oh, how he suffered ! No gentle j
hand to soothe, uo loving voice to ;
whisper wonL of c lufort '. Dying I
alone ! and then his heart knew but one
wish of earth?to see Ailcen. Yet he I
breathed it nut. She must not come
near to him to breathe the fatal air.
Lying thinking of herbe felt a soft little
hand pressed gently on his brow. She
was with him, kneeling by his aido.
'Aileen ! Aihen. ! darling, a why !
away '." he cried. D > you know 'tis I
death here V
"No, Ralph "f is lile to bo with you.''
she answered, pressing her lips to his J
uud inhaling his death bearing hruith.
She stayed by him, clung to him. j
Death was robbed of his terrors then.
The lu>t uouud that fell ou his ear was
an agonizing cry from Ailoou, as they
strove to draw her from him.
Anu Ralph Livingston sprang up?
not from death, but his dream - and
stood gnriug bewildered at the scone be
fore him. Ada and 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 pices from her feel, lay a
frightful, vcuomous snake, stunned by ;
the force with whicn s!ic had thrown it 1
down.
i
In a moment, Ralph, us i'" by iustlnct,
knew all. And Ada in the same swoct
emotionless manner, told that they had
come to hunt for bi n, by his mother's
desire, and found him sleeping. And
she had stooped down to awaken him, '
when sin had discovered the dreadful j
snake, stealing round his neck. She ran i
away so frightened. And Ailecn wont
up, al hougl/she told her it would surely
bite her?and caught it close up by the
head, drew it off and dashed it to the
ground.
Ralph s dream flashed hack to his
miud so vividly then! and he felt to
win d Aileen as he hud 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 his, it would be as in the I
dream. If danger thieatcned, she would
fly. While Alleen?dear, noble, loving
Aileen;?he knew she,, would never
desert the man who called her his. She
would cling by to save, or die with him.
Turning to Ailcen ho said :
"Thank ypu, you arc a bravo little
woman, Ailoen ! you may have saved my
lifo,"
? -*
Thoro wr-.s a tc^f cf deep emotion in
his voice which caused Ailecn to ?aipo
her eyes to his, , Qhe saw in them some
thing that made her heart leap with a
wild bound ,0^oj. And she w?s hap
pier than ever ip.her life before.
Shg Ijad beep Jo the distant part of
the conservatory |that morning, and
hei.rd much of the conversation between
Ralph and bis mother. It was her sigh
that Ralph.hac} heard. Oh, how miser
able had iifij appeared to the poor loving
child ! She little foamed how soon the
cloud would p^ss awayt
Ralph was yerj^quiet after their re
turn to the house); B3 could not banish
from his mind the ocourcncc which had
so plainly shown hitn^tho difference in
tlje character of the.girls. He was dis

atuouuting to dislike was steuling into
his heart aguinst her ; w'hilo Ailccn was
growing hourily dearer to him.
How pretty she looked that evening,
he thought. And indeed Mrs. Living
ston gazed at her, and wandered what
had come over the girl to make her look
so bright and happV. Ralph longod to
bu with her alone. ;Ho found an oppor
tunity during the evening. After again
thanking her, he said :
''Did you not know how deadly was
that bite?"
"Certainly. That , was the reason I
hastened to get it off." she said.
' Did you not thiuk of the danger to
yourself. Aileeri ?"
"Oh. yos. T thought of everything."
"And you feared net ?"
"Ouly for you, Rajhh."
A'leen, the man vwlo wins your heart
will have a priceless jewel! 1 believe
you would die for one you loved.''
Her face crew paler than usual then.
She was striving to still the wild throb
hing of Iht heart, aiid hide its secret,
to.
"Would you not, Aiben ?" he asked.
"Wi uld not any woman?" the rc
1 turned, vcil'og her eyes.
I "IJdttif. Aii"*?n: Lfiyirti bad Unourn-that
snake would have bitten you. would you
have touched it?have braved death for
me ?" he asked, striving to c itch her
eye.
j She spoke nor. not looked on him.
j "Dear, Ailecn, you must answer me," j
he s:\id, {.Utting forth his hand und ;
I clasping hers.
"You have no i ight to iusint?to speak >
thus to me," hhc answered, still evading 1
his gaze.
"I bvc, dear, Ailecn. the right to
? know the heart ol the woman I love !?
Now look at sue, and see if I am not !
J speaking the truth !"
'?Will you answer mo now, dear
I !
Alicen ? ho aakek. opening hia arms. :
"You kno.v I" bho bobbed He
caught her to Iii? bosom, and said :
"My own sweet darling! My brave j
little Ailecn '."
Mrs Liviugstou '.r.u dreadfully dis
appointed. i>ut her boy's will was her
law, and she accepted as gracefully a
possible what the could not inert.
Many of his friend-!, no doubt, mat
vulled at bis choice of a wife, joJ hj
though, he knew it. he cared >t ; for to
him Aileen is more titan beautiful. The I
thought of testing her luve never outers
hii mind. He know* its worth?itf

Cuffee Johnson was a white washer by
profession. His sign, painted in strag
gling, nnovon letters, a? informed the
passer-by in Sullivan street. An airy
colored dandy was Cuffee, in spite of his
poverty and bad clothes. When he sal
lied out, with bis brush over his right
shoulder, his pail of whitewash in his
left haud, and his hat balanced airily on
the side of his woolly head, all the ad
miring wenches showed, their admiration
in broad grins. But if he was captivat
ing in his working clothes, how shall I
describe him in his evening and Sunday
dress?the dress in which he leaned
against lamp-posts and wore in his hours
of relaxation ?
Dinah Hucklebcc wan at this time, by
common consent, the darkey belle of
Thompson street. Her hair was the
kinkiest, her skin tbe shiniest, her teeth
the whitest, and her lips the thickest.
Dinah was the rjaughtcr of poor but
honest parents. Her father was con
nected with the peanut interest, dud her
mother dri nk bad gin #with assiduity
worthy a better cnuao. Therefore
Dinah's exchequer was aB lean as a
church morse. Her wardrobe was not
extensive. Her education had been
sadly neglected.
Iu the course of Thompson and Sulli
van street events,'it fell out that Cuffee
Johnson and Diaah Hucklcbee fell in
love. Cuffee Was au attentive lover,
lie look his Dinah to the colored balls?
aud right here my story properly corn

There was to be a graud Torpsicho.
rcan event?the greatest Ethiopean shin
dig of the season. The swell wsitore of
the Broadway rcstto.u ants were to be
thcrOj and the waves of excitement in
colored society ran high.
' Shall we go." said Cuffee.
'?If \v>r sb\ sc. " replied Dinah, show
ing her ivories iu blissful anticipation.
That settled it.
The night came; and Cuffee called
for his Dinah iu ample season. His get
up was of the most agonizing desouptioir
It actually included a "biled shirt" and
a paper collar.
But Cuffee fouud his Dinah in tears,
burning '.ears.
"What under goodness i- do matter,
Dinah".'" questioned Cuflec.
oj c?c?can't g?go," whispered the
sable beauty.
An' why. iu do name of common
sense, cuu't you go ?"
"'Cause I ain't got ?o stoekiu'a, Cuf
fee. Top promised to irrt lue Minie to
day, but he didn't - an' now I e?can't
g?go."
The sight of hi. swi iheatt iii fears
fired Cu rice's manhood.
' This haiu't no time lot hesitation,'
he exclaimed, waving his arms iu melo
dramatic style ; ' this arc a time fui ae
tiou. Wait yuu?uerc my Dinii: uu:.ii I
return."
Pot he bounded, leaving the s'.ockiug
le.-s belle in d mbl ?s to his sanity .
lie's got 'em for sure." she intrr
mured. "I tolc him dat Robiuaou's

Within ten miuutes Cuffee returned,
beariug the implements of his trad? .1

to ask.
"'Bout middliu/ Cuffee.'" was the rc

except in romances.' Th'ey were Mr. |
and Mrs. Henry J. HoUne<>r the wif
for many years a rcaruent OrTTalfW!
City, Iowa, aud . the buaband ranking ]
with the California forty-uiners.''
EigWuu. years agQ2 aftar the ynyi
courtship, the codple became engaged,
the young lady agaoing to wait until
such time as hcrjo^ijr's jifjjpcial cir
cumstances should' juAity'tne perfor
mance of the marriage ceremonies. At
that time Mr. Holmes wn on"a visit to
his people, and returned shortly to Cali
fornia, in the hope that his second visit
to the Golden 8tati might be more
properous than the first one. . Hut re
turn was. frequently. * prpjftjfpd') the
succeeding five or six years,, hut tho
fickle dame fortune always played false.
Abandoning the mining fields, the young
man gave his time to ?jh|eriftojlj^aureF,
industries, and in two .years: accum ula
ted a neat little sum of money. During
all this time not a word of complaint
came to him ftom his betrothed. She.
remained constant.
After getting his money together, Mr.
Holmes visited Iowa for the purpose,0/
making the sweetheart a wife. A girl
who had proven so true to a lover could
not well prove false to any one, and
when one of her brothers was pronounc
ed consumptive, she was not long in
announcing hex determination to stay by
him and minister to his wants- Mr.
M?lmes told him of tho ?vonderfui air of
California, and used all his means to
1 induce htm to go there, but without
I avail. Tbo failiug man was determined
j upon never leaving the old homestead,
I under whose roof h..i father and mother
j had passed from "earth. The sister's
duty wns plain, and sho mrt it ??? i true
woman would.
The pledges of constancy were re.
newed. tho lover returned to California,
feeling keculy the truth of the senti
ment: ''Hope deferred maketh the
heart sick." He gave his undivided I
attention to business, meeting with gotd
success in all his undertakings, and to
day is worth over n hundred thousand
dollars.
Iu the wuautimc the separated lovers
corresponded regularly,. The invalid
brother at limes wus thought to bo on
