AILEEN'S LOVE.
BY FnANOffellllfe?lAi BADEN.
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? "raise
her eyes to hii^ ^ ^bi saw in them some
thing that tj^de".^? heart leap with n
wild bound .ofjoy. And she wss hap-'
piBr than everlp^.ff life before.
Shf ljfd Reeythe distant part of
the conservatcjrj^^hat morning, and
heard much of(^. conversation between
Ralph end bis mother. It was ber sigh
that Ralph, bao} heard. Oh, bow raiser

Ralph was yqrv^jQuiet after their re
turn to tbo bouse. 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. Ailoea, {?y<m had !. .10 ? tk :?. t

I buvc touched it?have braved death fur

eye.
She spoke nor. not looked on bin?.
"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>

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

"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.

At u reeeut trial, the couusel lor tho
prosecution, after severely cross-ox uuin

severity, end exclaimed :

?'Yes, sir, several parsons have tried

"Now, sir, upon your oath, J wish to

"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. Wait yumftorc my Dinah uuiil I
return." ,
r :ui'i . . ?? ? t\ 1? t
Out he bounded, leaving the 3'oekiug
'e.-.s belle iu doubt a? to his sanity .
' He's "got' 'em for sure." she muV
mo led. "I tole him dat Robinson's
whisky was de wust whisky in de hull
ward. He's got 'cm for sure."
Within ten minutes Cutfeu returned,
bearing the implements of his trade?a
j brut.li and a pail of whitewash.
' You shall g?, Dinah." he cried,
j 'You shall'go. I've got a idea. Stick
1 mil v.mr r..?vt
Dinub did as she was bidden, and by
a few dexterous brushes by tho arti?>t in
lime, they were neatly whitewashed.
"Have 'em long or diort?" he pained
to ask. w
"Bout mid dim,' Cu.Teo/' was the re
ply.
'Middlin' it it, stand up a second.
There yor are, an' a whiter, eooler, or
better fittin' pair of atockiuVi u> gal ever
bad."
"Yes. an' dcy saves garterj, too, Cuf
fee. '
And t,o thoy went to tho ball in spite
of adverse ciieumataoces, and were tho
j oiliest company of jolly uegroes iu the
whole jolly assemblage.,
Cuffee thinks of getting out a patent
on hia invention, but Dinah pays if she
catcheb him furnishing nny other girl
with whitowjth stockiugs, she will break
his skull with a paving stoue.

all this time Dot a word of complaii
came to him fiom his betrothed. SI
remained constant. ; ^J^,
After getting his money together, Mr.
Holmes visited Iowa for the purpose of
making the sweetheart a wife. A gin
who had proven so true to a lover ooqld,
not well prove false to any one, and
when one of her brothers w.10 pronounc
ed consumptive, she was not long in
announcing hex determination to stay by
him and minister to his wants- l?lr,
M?lmes told him of |ho;\vonderfui air of
California, and used all his means to
induce him tp^jgo there, but without

upon never leading the old homestead,

The pledge*) of constancy were re*

feeling keenly the truth of the senti
ment: ' !I.?pc deferred maketh the
heart sick." He gave his undivided
icntiou to business, meeting with go id
success in all his undertakings, and to
day in worth over u hundred thousand
dollars.
In the meantime the separated lovors
corresponded regularly. The invalid
