Ralph Livingston was one of fortuno's most favored cKu^ran'/younsr, in good health. handsoiuVahA very rich... 1 alph w;?h the only ctifej>*f a widow cd mother, and the lasSSH^scntat ive of un old and prou3*rnrer lie was a universal faVrjrite. Mrs. Livingston knew the time was cou.iujg Jlten^Aj^Bj^ so she tlinught to anticipate his choice by selecting a wife for l/Tm ; fearing his heart miuht sotfcto on one not agreeable to her. oStie lelt jealous of eveVy prett* girt in town, and feared theni?save one right at home. But then Aileeu was not beautiful,.and. of course, she had no idea of the air) who was friendless, a dependent on her'nbtinty^ as' one to con uevt, even in thought, with her son. No, Aileeu, poor child ! wis not to be teared. She waited on Ralph; re ad.to him; learned difficult songs,- that he might easily 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, whioh ever he chanced to bo the best pleased with at tin; time. Before Aileen knew Ralph's nature so well, she would steal away to bet room and weep 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 much But after a time Aileen could listen and sihllo, for she lr.it his heart knew not the mighty power. Ada Whiting, the daughter of her dearest friend, was the chnicc of Mrs. Livingston, ami so she set herself about to have it as she wished. Fortune farored her just then. Mrs. Whiting's health being very feeble, hw phy_ sieiana advised a winter South. Ada was much av.-rse to going, and so it Wit* an easy task for Mrs. Livingston to persuade Mr. and Mrs. Whiting ic leuvu their daughter to her love and care. And so the beautiful Ada became ouo of Mrs. Livingston's family. Ada w"as beaiftiful, truly; perfect in form and features, with a shower of golden ringlets ; a complexion fair, and as delicately tinted aw the pearly sea shell; cy? B us blue si the summer sky? languishing eyes, that evor glowed with the same toft, sweet light.. Never were twrfw imen m >rc dis>iuii lar then Ada Whiting and Aileou Wild. And when Mrs. Livingston saw them standing together, sh'; thought how much Ada's beauty was enhanced by tlic. contraht, for Aillccn was u pale, sal low, little things whom no one had evor ' thought pretty, and. beside the fair beauty that Mrs. Liviugstou had deter mined should be her daughter, the poor jirotege appeared . very plain looking. ButiAilvcn hud eyes that would have won for any wojuiaii that had a little tnvti ni'd with?the aid of art, tha reputa tion ot a beauty?e^esso large und d rk. with a world of love aud passion glow ing a way duwu in her pths. Mrs. Livingston was wtll satisfied with the prospect of affairs. She bad but little doubt of the final success of her plan. There was one thing, however, that Mrs. Livingston did not like and felt lhi) liecHK?i?.V of "?: ?:;- ?- Rjlrflj Sfi?l:a,t it. It was this, that wheu he would intend to read im the enlcrlaiumcnt ol Ada aud his mother, he would iuvuri ably ask, "Where is Aileen ?" aud wait until she was sent for aud came. "Why do you do so, Ralph ?" Mrs. Livingstone uakud, "Ada will think you rather mure attentive to Aileen than is necessary, under the circumstances. Ju fact, it looks as if you read more purlieu Inrly for Ailccn^s benefit. And last night T tiotteed, and so must Ada, I oat you cohni.onccd your reading with only one auditor, aud that neither your mother nor her guest." "Did I? Well, mother, really I was very remiss; but?. Well, tho truth is, Aileen not only appreciates the subject, but shows it. Ada hears all sentiments, n ? matter how varied, with tho same aWcct expression of oye and tongue. Why, mother, the most glowing descrip tions, paudouute und pathetic appeals that ever flowed from inspired poet's brain, fail to draw forth l'roui.hor an exclamation other than, "It's pretty, is it nut?"; wh'ilo Ailcen's jlurk face lights hp, *hor glorious eyee spnrklo and glow with inspiration taught from the joem, I and ?he expresses bor nppre??"t?Qn in J words that would satisfy the ambition of I the most exacting author. That is why [ throws off, the little plain face, and grows really ..beautiful at such times, answered Rnlpti, while his mother gared. ! really amazed At his words tod manner. 1 At length, after a moment's pause, alle .said : "One who did not Understand you Ralph, would be in doubt which of the two you were in love with. Lot me ad vise you my Sou to be careful. Aileen might be foolish enough to misinterpret your feelings and actions, and Ada might withdraw her favor." Ralph was about to aoswor, when a sigh, a rustic of dress caught his ear, nnd Btirting up, he said : "Do not worry mother, I'll do what is right." He walked out orHho conservatory and looked around, but no one was visible ;- His Mother had started a train of thought that hud been touched before, und ho wuudeied off from the house, and threw himself down on a shady mm..id to commune With his own Heart. Yes, he must know himself. Did he love Ada? And Aileen?what of her't Never for a moment had he thought, of her, except as she was, his frieud, his confidont; she would not misunderstand his kiiiducas. His mother's counsel was needless. Ada loved him, he felt sure ; and a'though he h id never-told her ao, ho hau certainly given her reason to be lieve be loved her. Yes, he must do what was right?what Ada, his mother, and the world expected. Absorbed in thought, he continued. With this dctennin.ition ho sought Ada, told bis love, and won her promise to be his. He believed himself happy, but one thing marring htt pleasure. Could she lovo as auothcr might ? What if poverty, or danger of nuy kind threatened, juld she brave all for him." Ah ! the trial came soon enough. A dreaded disease cam;' upon him. Ser vants fled; friend came not ; and when he called for Ad i to conic and cool his fevered brow, too doctor tried to soothe him, und hide the, -humefol truth. She too had fled?among the first. Oh, how he suffered ! No gentle baud to soolko, uo loving voice to whisper wordd of c< mfurt ! Dying alone ! and then his heart knew but one wish of earth?to see Aileen. Yet he breathed, it nut. She must not come j j aT*a \ ' ' i - * ? ? near to hiiu to' breathe the fatal air. Lying thinking of her he felt a soft little bund pressed gently on his brow. She was with hiitij kneeliog by his aido. "Aileen ! Aileen ! darling, -away ! away !" he cried. Do you know 'tis ,death here "No, Ralph 'Tis lile to bo with you," rIic" answered, pressiug her Hps to his aud inhaling his deith hearing bruath. She stayed by him, elung to him. Death was robbed of his terrors then. The last sound that fell ou hw car was au agonizing cry from Ailouti, as they strove to draw her from htm. AnU Ralph Livingston sprang up? not from death, but his dream?and I stood gaxiug bewildered at the scene 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 oonngo On the ground a few paces from her leot, lay a frightful, venomous snake, stunned by iUo ivivv wua wjiiuu hoc nau tuiowu it down. In a moment, Ralph, as if by instinct, knew all. And Ada in the same sweet emotionless manner, told that they bad come to hunt for him, by bis mother's desire, and found him sleeping. And she had sloope-l down to awaken him, when she had discovered the dreadful j snake, stealing round his neck. She ran away so frightened. And Aileen wont up, al hougl/bhe told her it would suroly bite her?and caught it c'ose up by tho head, drew it off and dashed it to the ground. Ralph's dream flashed back to his mind so vividly theo ! and he felt to ward Aileen an 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 his, it would be as in the dream . If danger thieatencd, she would fly. While Aileen?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. Turhina? to Aileen ha said i "Thank you, you arc a brave little j woman, Ailoen 1 you may havo saved my ! lifo," Th?re wag.^jo'yjf of deep emotion in hia voice which caused Aifcen t?

Re could not banish from his mind tho oc^urencc which bad bo plainly shown torn* tho difference in tfye character of tho.girls. He was dis appointed in Ada, e"d something filmest amounting to Jisjtke was steuliug Tntb his heart against her ; w'hilo Ailecn was growing bourily clearer to him. How pretty she looked that evening, he thought. And indeed Mrs. Living si on gazed at her, and pondered what bad come ovef'tftd girl'to' make her look so bright and happy. Ralph longod to bo with her alone. Ho found nn 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 think of the danger to yourself,"Ailceri 7" "Oh, yea. rtho%ht>6reverythlug.'' "And you fearcH nat ?'' - "Only for you, Rsfph." ' A'leen, the man vino whrs vour heart will have a priceHjs* 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" lier heart, and hide its secret too. "Would you not,:Ail'Jcn ?" He asked. "Wi.uld not any' woman V the re turned, vcil'ng her eyes. "IMur.

"Dear, Ailecn, you must answer me," he >:tid. putting forth his band uud clasping hers. "You have no right to insist?to speak thus to me," she auswered, still evading hi* gaze. "I bavc, dear, Aileen. the ri^ht \x> know the heart ol tho woman I love !? Now look at me, and see if I am not speaking the truth !" ' Will yoa an'wer me now, dear Ailee.o ?" he askek, opening his arms. "You kuow.j" bho bobbed lie caught her t(> bin bosom, and said : "My own sweet darling! My brave little Ailecn '." Mrs. Lm.igstau dreadfully dis appointed: Jiut her boy's will was her law, and she accepted as gracefully as rot-siblc what the cool 1 not avert. Many of his frionds, uo doubt, mar veiled at bis choice of a wife, and hj though he knew it ho cared not; for to hint Aileen is more thau beautiful. The thought of testing her love ucver enters hii mind. He know5 it^ worth?its depth. If Ada had an affection for Ralph it did not linger with her long. Iu n few Wveks it was transfered to another?oue who was so proud of bis beautif ul wife that ho was content with such love as she gave bim. - ????? ? * ? n?in At u reeeut trial, the couusel lor tho prosecution, after severely cross-ox uuin iug wituess, suldenly put ou a look of severity, end exclaimed : '?^jow, h\r, was not an effort roa Jc to i.tduco you to tell a diflereat story V I "A different stury from what I have told, do you mean 7" !; That's what I mean." ?'Yes, sir, several parsons have tried to get me to t?ll a different story from what I have told, but they couldn't." "Now, sir, upon your oath, J wish to know who tln.se persons are.'' "Well, you've tried about as bard at any of them." He was questioned no further on that point. A young lady at CumberLud, Md; who had been dumb for five, yeaxe was lately returning from church, thinking of a bymn which had b*an auug. She involuntarily attempted to hum the tune, when she was delighted to und tur voice completely restore! Dinah's Stockings. Cuffee Johnson was a white washer by profession. His sign, painted Irt'ittzg-1 gling, uneven letteA~ao 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 his brush over his right shoulder, hp pail of whitewash in his left h*ud, asjj his hat balanced airily on the side of his woolly bead, all the ad miring wenclics showed^ their adrujrat^oo^ in brQad grips. But if he was captivat ing in his working clothes, how shall I describe him in his evening and Sunday dress?tho dress in which he leaned against lamp-posts and wore in his hours of relaxation ? Dinah Uuckiebee was at this time, bv common consent, the darkey belle of Thompson street. Her hair was the kinkiest, her fikiu the shiniest, her teeth the whi-.esl, and her lips the thickest. Dinah was the dauvliter of poor but honest parents. Her father was con nected with the peanut interest, a'nit her mother drrnk bad gin ,with assiduity worthy a better cause. Therefore Dinah's exchequer was as lean as a church mouse. 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 Dinah Hucklobee fell in love. Cuffee Was an attentive lover. He took his Dinah to.the colored balls? and right here my story properly com mences. There was to be a grand Torpsicho. rcan event?the greutcst Ethiopean shin dig of the season. The swell waiters of the Broadway resultants were to be there, aud the waves of excitement in colored society ran high. "Shall we go '" said Cuffee. "If yer say no" replied Dinah, show ing her ivories iu blissful anticipation. {That nettled it. The night cjime;, aud Cuffee called for hi* Dinah *u aronlc ^a^on. His set up was of the most agonizing description It actually included a "bilcd shirt" and n paper collar. But Cuffee found bis Dinah in tears, .'burning '.ears. "What under goodness is de matter, Dinah?" questioned Cuffee. "I c?c?can't g?.go," whispered the sable beauty. "An' why. iu do uame of common sense, can t you go ?" "'Cause I ain't got .10 stockiu's, Cuf fee. Top promised to get mc some to day, but he didn't - an' now 1 c-?cau't ??go." The .sight of hi; sweetheart iii tears fired Cuffee a mauhood. "This haiu't no time for hesitation,'' he exclaimed, waving his arms in melo dramatic style ; ' this are a. limb for ac tion.
