, LOVE WINS.
BY JUSTIN ht'CABTBT.
Pul and Virginia, in their pilm
groves and glades of tropin Arcadia,
were not . happier, ' simpler, more
truthful and tender, lovers than Jo
sephine Aseort and waiter Hex ton,
up to a certain hour when Josephine
net with a piece of unexpected good
fortune. Josephine was an extreme,
ly pretty girl, tall, Blender, and fair.
"Walter was a robust, rather angular
and awkward young man, with a big
broad brow, and heavy jaws and
gray eyes.' They' were near neigh
bora, and they lived in a small town
in tbe nortn 01 x.ngiand. waiter
Hexton was the son of a decent
tradesman, and was studying chem
istry, without any higher view, as
yet, than that of opening a chemist'
shop, and making a respectable liv
ing. - Ascot was the daughter of a
clerk in-an attorney's -office. But
Josephine's mother bad some rich
reiauons, wuo, aunougn mey naa
never thought her worth doing any
thing for while she was, yet unmar
ried, thought her quite' worth da
nouncing and repudiating when she
made her mevaUiance. Mrs. Ascot, a
weak woman, with a love of gentility,
venerated her relatives all the more
becauso they had cast her off, and
could never bear to hear a word
against them. In her mind, to be
rich was to be endowed with celestial
grace, and alinota to oe armed wiln
celestial' authority. She was not
sorry that she had married an at
torney s clerk, but sno Lad quite rec
ognized the fact that, in doing so,
she bad committed a crime of lew-
metjiifte against her general relations,
and she did not ask, did not hope, to
bo forgiven.
Hue bad only one tutugbter, tbe
pretty Josephine, aud she was rather
glad than otherwise when Josephine
fell in love with so steady, promising
young man as alter Hexton.
Eur Walter was a ateadlost, high
minded young fellow, with strong as-
Eirations of bis own, and no taste
owever, for dissipation, idlcnetts or
frivolity. Josephine and he walked
together every fine evening took
lone walks over quiet roads and
breezy downs, returning often by the
tender light of tbe moon, dear and
sacred to all lovers, though - Virgil
may call it light jpalgin, and Dan
ish Ocblenschlaeger allow his Alad
din to denounce it as a "pale angel
of destruction." Happy, exquisite,
ecstatic walks weBtve, those to poor
Walter, as he bend Hie band of Jo
sephine in his, aaxippoured into her
car the unvarying, ever wearing story
of his love, bis hopes, and bis aspi
rations and projects fr the future.
l'oor lovers Lave one advantage over
rich tbey are under for less of con
ventional restraint, and can have
more freouent walks together of
e -nings. Tbe lover of Sally in our
Mey l omo special class pnvu-
fc -IljKh the favored admirers of
."-trail in the square mibt
perhaps ocHy have envied.
But cood fo.-tune, unsought, hunt
ed out Josephine, oeioy cimiw,
one of her rich relatiV8, ---
ess widow, happened v." a.T ,u ue
town for day or two, in re.un.-s
from Scotland to London, wb. b
lived; and meek Mrs. Ascot ;it
bound to call bum my at uer uoiei
and ask to see her. Mrs. Selby Clare
was not a bad sort of person and she
consented to look upon and speak to
her poor aud degraded relative.
The poor and degraded relative was
polite enough to bring her daughter
with her, and old Mrs. Selby Clare's
somewhat withered heart warmed to
the graceful, pretty, lady-like girl.
The visit ended in a ten-pound note
to Mm. Ascot, and peremptory com
mand that Josephine sbould, tbe
very next week, go up to London,
and there spend fortnight in the
bouse of her newly found relative.
'You don t think. Josephine, tbat
you will stay longer than a fortnight
Bwsty uuiu
Those were waiter swords, spoken
somewhat plaintively, the night be
fore Josephine's departure for Lon
don, as they walked together in the
moonlight.- Walter .was ..very proud
of Josephine's being admired by the
rrreat relative ind carried on to Lion-
don: but bis mind had some ominous
misgivings i comusediy, struggling
' 1 . . a i a a.
with the pride.
"INo. waiter,' dear, l don t tbink
so; J. don't mean to, unless, of
course, Mrs.' oeioy. yjiare snquiu in
sist on it. She may, you know.
''She may, indeed; I should think
. 1 Ml L
so. f Ul course .... sue u want, you 10
stayr and he glanced' "at the girl
with a look of, one wno neid it to ue
an obvious and self-evident fact that
any relative, or. other person who
once hod Josephine near her must
wish to keep ber; there Ti f ; j 1 1 !
"Well, if she does, Walter, then,
you ; knowr that I canpot venture to
refuse Mrs. Selby Clare." 1 ' 1
"No, dear, I nupposo not.? Do
you know: Josephine, I almost wish
sometimes. Mrs. Selby Clare had
never found vou oul?'?' -ml Hr-1
"Oh. Walter, for shame I My
mother's near relative. And so good
a womani - And' so ? rich 1 - ! quite
wonder at you to, speak m sucb
way. You ought to be very glad
only men are so selfish. "
"I suppose we are, said poor
Walter with a sigh; and ho urged
the matter no f urtherff 1 1 ir: 1 :7,
Ifext morning early, Josephine set
out for London, tier fatber, motu
or and Walter accompanied her to
the railway .station.. Walter.hftdjthe
privilege of a parting tissr As tbe
tmin' swept but of the station he
caught a final fading glimpse of Jo
sephine'a f aoSi and there was a a uiet
self-satisfied: complacent smile. . -His
heart was bursting. i .
, "Rnt r wm not a iealous creature
It was no wonder, he . told himself,
that "Josssphine should feel a little
elated . at . the high prospects "how
evidently Opening for her and if for
herJ of course for hinik Of course
she was glad I Men must be selfish
creatures indeed, as she had said;
otherwise be would have at once un
derstood why she showed on ber face
a hopeful smile at the first parting,
Life for the next few months was all
pleasure and brightness to Josephine,
all hard work and, dullness to poor
Walter. 3 Josephine was plunged at
once into a new, brilliant, many tint
ed kind of existance, which entirely
novel as it was, seemed quiet congen
ial and natural to he. She breath
ed in it with delicious freedom.
Mrs. Selby Clare had money enough
and some good tase, and moved iu a
brilliant circle. Slio lived . in the
Park Lano .region, and gave pleas
ant dinner-parties; , and Josephine
proved quite an attraction and a suc
cess, and , went through all the en
joyments of a London season the
ball, tbe opera, tbe . croquet-party,
the Richmond Me champtre, tbe
strawberry breakfast, and tbe rest,
with a fresh and open acknowledg
ment of delight, which mado her
doubly attractive. " Then, it wns well
known that Mrs. Selby Clare bad
no children, or nephews aud niccos,
or very near relations of any kind;
and the natural presumption was that
this pretty, graceful, charming girl,
whom she introduced everywhere as
" almost my adopted daughter,"
would assuredly bo her heiress,
which assumption added not a little
to Josephine's charms, and formed,
indeed, the glorious atmosphere of
roseate and gold which surrounded
them and set them off.
Toward the close of tho season.
for the visit of s fortnight had, of
course, swelled itself into weeks and
months, Josephine was startled, do-
lighted, - displeased- all emotions
blending or conflicting in a moment
by receiving a card with tho name
of "Mr. Walter Hexton" engraved up
on it, and being told that tbe owner
of the card was below, and wished to
see her. Whereupon sbo blushed
very, deeply, and the following
thoughts and wishes passed success
ively through her nunu, in the in
stant during which she held tho card
in her hand, and hesitated as to what
she should say
"Poor, dear Walter! How delight
ed I am to see bitu t". ;
"How did ho contrive to get to
town just now 1"
"How glad I am he hod a card!"
"I wonder what ho will think of
mc?" and she glanced at the looking
glass. "I wonder what he looks like! .
"I wonder what Mrsk Selby Clare
will think?
"How unlucky that he should
have come junt now, when were we
aro going out at once!
"I don't know, perhaps it is ra tber
lucky, on the whole.
"I wonde how long ho is going to
stay iu town 1
"I bopo not long oh, no, I don't
hope any thing of the kind!"
And then, to , stifle all further
doubts , and hopes, tho ran down
stairs, aud presently received Wal
ter. Well, she was compelled to ac
knowledge to herself that Walter was
not looking like a West End youth.
His dress seemed rural, provincial;
so did bis hands; aud there was an
uneasy, anxious, alomst melancholy
expression on bis face, which young
Igravia does not allow itself to
wear in presence of a lady. Her
rt q.'ite warmed to him, however,
and bl' rua up and caught him by
both ba'ds, cod wondered why be
did not kisa her, .nd told him so.
Then bo did kis ber, and he
blushed so much in the act that she
blushed too. '
Tbey sat and talked, aT'l he grew
, IT 1 M
ess constrained, lie uau cuuia w
town because of a chemical du-Cjrory,
apparently of some importance,
WUlCn US Utmevvu, ue ww uuuic, uuu
about which ho bad written not
knowing anything better to do to
famous LoAon mtant, whom even
Mayfair ijp2ryburnia admired.
Tbe famoww mvanl bod actually re
lied in a friendly, kindly style,. and
declared that be thought there ' was
something in Walter's idea, that he
would look into it, and that mean
time he should like to see Walter
and talk with hitn. ' So Walter came
up to town, and was going to the
house of the great science man in the
afternoon;' but' first, of course, he
must come to Bee J oscphine. ' Then
be said, very awkwardly, that he
hoped she was happy, thathe looked
splendid and quite like a great lady,
and tbat be supposed sue was never
coming back to -the 'old town any
more. She assured bim she was le-
turning home very poou as soon as
the season closed; and she began to
give bim a little outline of the kind
of life she had been leading for the
past few months; but she f thought
of the. flight of time, and looked at
her watch, and was just beginning to
tell bim that sbe was going out,
when Mr. Selby Clare relieved her
from "the 'necessity by. coming into
the room and asking ber wbetber she
was not ready. Then Josephine ore
Stinted Walter to Mrs.' Selby Clare,
and that lady was gracious and dis
tant: and AValter knew he must go
He was awkward about beginning to
go, and longed ' beyond measure for
one other, moment' of 'Josephine
alone. Tbat ioy. however, be was
not destined to have; and he left the
room without a chance of exchang
ing a syllable with Josephine, and
without any bint Irom Mrs. Selny
that he would'be welcome if he were
to call again. ' ."?
He was received with great kind
ness and consideration by the scien
tific Plan, who talked a long time
with, bim, and urged bim to study in
London, Pans and trermany, offer-
tug ,mm letters, to many, ..great pro
feasors in these places. Then he
told Walter , that he might come and
see bim as often as be pleased, and
showed auite an interest in him.
vear ago, six" months agd, all this
would have made Walter wild with
hope and joy ; but 'now somehow, it
did not eeem to aneet bun so raucu.
It did not appear to him" that a pro
ficiency in chemistry would be quite
enough to make up for the lack of
money and social position in the cir
cles where Josephine had so sud
denly found " admission, and wherein
even already she seemed to be so
much at home. t, I v') .-
The two who had been lovers .met
no more that time. . Josephine re
turned home to her parents during
the winter, but Walter did not even
then see much of her. He was in
deed a good - deal ia London and he
avoided her.. Nothing was said of
their old engagement. It bad ap
parently passed so entirely out of the
world of realities that poor Walter
thought it would be a piece of pre
sumption on his part if he were even
to offer tq release Josephine Ascot
from it. "This long time," he
thought to hmiself, bitterly, "it has
been practically at an end. She
would think it an offence if I were to
remind her in any way. tbat it ever
bad an existence. She only wishes
me to forget it."
Mrs. Selby Clare ' had evidently
taken quite a fancy to Josephine.
Sbo sen for ber in the winter, and
made her come to Nice. Josephine's
father and mother bod not tbe spirit
to refuse. They said it would only
stand in the way of tbe child's ad
vancement. They wero yery good
people in the negative, harmless,
sense; but they utterly failed to un
derstand that their child rxigbt have
higher interests to advance than any
which the. capricious favor of a rich
old woman could make or mar.
Josephine had many admirers, but
as yet not many suitors. There was,
indeed, ' something too uncertain
about the basis of her future to
satisfy the prudent young men of the
Wcsti'.nd wben ibey caino to con
sider the matter seriounly and closely.
liut sbe met at tce with a wealthy
and influential man a leading part
ner in a banking-house, and member
of parliiuent, wbo could probably be
in high office if be liked, and wbo
bad lately "been made a baronet.
This gentleman fell in love with ber;
kept up but love for ber wben be and
she returned to. London, and early
in the season proiofed to her, tell
ing ber irankiy mat ner personal
fortune was not a matter or any im
portance or consideration whatever
to him. Now Josephine was not by
any means ' in love with Sir John
Kiddle not tho least in the world in
lovo with him. He was more than
forty years old, and she was only
juat twenty; be was a steady man,
wbo seemed older in an ne really was.
She did not love him, and she did
not feel as if she ever could. But
then there was no one eLte in socie
ty whom she loved or cared at all
about. Of tbe many brilliant, hand
some young men whom she often
met around ber, not one bad touch
ed her heart. For she bad a heart;
and the more she mingled in society,
now that the startling novelty and
dazzling gloss of tbe thing were wear
ing off, tbe more she began to yearn
after some sensation deeper and more
real than that of variety and grat
ified vanity and socal display. She
did think of Walter sometimes of
tener than she cared to and she
sometimes doubted whether in losing
bim she had not lost all. But she had
lost bim ; she did not know even
where he was; and there was no use
in thinking of the past any more.
She might as well marry Sir John
Kiddcll; tbe marriage would make
her rich; she might do anything she
pleased for her family; she would be
Lady Riddell; and what a delightful
sensation it would bo to drive in her
carriage through the streets of her
native town, and be known as , Lady
Uiddelll bo sbe tbougbt she bad
accept Sir John Kiddcll
Mrs. Selby Clare thought so, too,
and reminded Josephine that she
had not i penny of her own, and on-
y depended for a Xortune on ber,
Mrs. Selby Clare. "I am very fond
of you," said the old lady, "but then

So Josephine Ascot accepted the
proposal of Sir John Riddell, and
was to become J-ady Hidden in a lew
months. And she received many
congratulations, and she congratula
ted herself a great deal, telling her
self over and over tbat it was like a
dream, and picturing to herself the
magmheent future a kind . fate, had
Erepared for ber; and she was ' very
rave and exultant all day in society.
But at night, in ber room alone, and
in her of ten sleepless bed, her spirits
gave way, her hopes turned into sod
ghosts, crowding around, her, and
sbe shed a great many bitter tears,
and longed for the day, light, society
and the animal spirits again. .!
The weeks and months , went by,
and it was once more drawing toward
the close of the season. .One night
then was a brilliant reception, or
conversazione, in the rooms of one of
tbe great scientific societies.' and.' Sir
John Kiddcll, who took some inter'
est in science, was there, and so were
Mrs., Selby Clare and Josephine As
cot. ' The rooms Were crowded, and
all the celebrities of science, ' letters,
art, politics," and travel were gather
ed together. . Even Josephine : with
all her present weariness of mind,
felt some interest in looking around
her, and exchanging a word with this
or that famous personage) and there
was something more than mere, aa
miration of science in the emotion
she felt, and the color which, came
to her xheeks when Sir John Riddel
brought up and introduced - to ; her
the distinguished man who had been
Walter Hexton's early patron. - She
longed to ask; or Walter, but k she
could hardly bring herself ! to make
tho venture. f She feared 'that - the
blood would rush to her cheeks; that
her voice would tremble,, and - that
gome curious eyes - and ears- might
possibly attach an unpleasant signifi
cance to sucb symptoms of feeling.
a moment alter sue beard tbe sa
fari, say to her affianced husband:
-t "Sir John,! want to introduce you
to a young scientific man in whom I
see great deal of promise. He has
just come back from a mission into
the Ural mountains, in which be rep
resented one ox our best scienune so
cieties. .' Here be is. ., Glad to see
you, Hexton; and come here, I wish
to introduce you to my ' friend Sir
John Riddell." - - .
And Josephine, looking up, saw
Walter Hexton, her old lover,, intro
duced to ber betrothed husband. He
was old Walter still. - More manly,
more calm and self-sustained, more
grave, perhaps, and with a ' darker
Lint on his face; but with the broad
forehead, the gray eyts, simple, hon
est look and bearing. , As she gazed
at bim tbe old, early love came swel
ling up in her heart; all tbe interval
since first sbe left her father's house
seemed to have dropped completely
out of her life, and out of ber mem
ory; the vanity, the frivolity, tbe
mean hopes, the ignoble ambitions,
the unwomanly disloyalty and cow
ardice all sank away, and sbe felt
as if nothing remained in her heart
but the true love, which, from her
childhood up to a twelvemonth back
bad filled itvn -
Tbe crowd separated her and she
allowed herself to be separated for
a moment or two from Mrs. Selby
Clare and from Sir John Riddell.
The crowd, too, brought ber quite
near to Walter Hexton. whom Sir
John had just quitted. Josephine
laid her band gently on Uexton's
arm, and be looked around and saw
ber. " '
"Walter," sbe said, in a low and
tromulous tone, "you have not for
gotten me?" -,
"Forgotten you. Josephine 1 No. 1
I have not forgotten you. ' I ' have 1
tried to forget, but I could not."
Ue spoke in a voice so low. . and
with so much difficulty and suppress
ed emotion, tbat sbe ; could , barely
catch his words. ' " 4
"And I, too. Walter, have tried to
forget, but I could not and shall try
no more. . .-
He turned his eyes, which he had
previously kept away, full upon her
face, and be found her meaning in
tbe look which ber eyes cave him
back. : She held ber hand out and be
pressed it. Then tbey separated, or
allowed themselves to be separated
again.
Their converse had hardly lasted a
single minute, but it was enough.
Walter Huxton went home with a
heart swelling with unexpected love
and joy, and tbe sudden recall to su
premacy of a love which he had long
been trying to crush.
Josephine Ascot went borne with a
mind more troubled, certaibly, than
ior sno iiaa m perplexing, pain
ful knot to undo, and a manly, hon
orable gentleman to disr lease and of
fend at tbe vety least; and she look
ed upon much of her recent conduct
with sincere contrition and shame.
But she felt so much of relief and
happiness that at last she saw her
way clear before ber, and had return
ed to ber true allegiance. Come
what might, she would never marry
Sir John. '
She kept her purpose to herself as
Mrs. Selby Clare and sbe drove home
together in the carriage. But when
tbey reached tbe bouse and were
alone sbe broke out at once with her
confession, and told her patroness
sbe never would marry Sir John Rid
dell, and she told her the reason
why! '
"Because I lovo Walter Hexton!
I did not know it fully until to-night
at least I thought I had perhaps
stifled it and killed it, to my shame
but when I saw him to-night I
knew tbat I loved him still, and I
never will be weak and wicked
enough to marry another man!"
"This is delightful " said Mrs. Sel
by Clare, dryly, "and quite affecting,
no doubt, at least to a romantic per
son a class to which I don't belong.
May I ask what you propose to do
with Sir John Riddell.
I will tell him all the . whole
Iriain truth. , He will then know that
! cannot marry him; and be will for
give me." -"''
"I wish you had thought of this
sooner, Josephine. 0 It !ie very un
pleasant; it puts me n quite a la'ao
position, and is bordly grateful, I
think. f ; Pray be good enough to ex
plain to Sir John that it is no doing
of mine that I hare no hand in the
business.":, ? , !". t
"I will make that, plain to him,
Mrs. Selby Clare, for I. will go at
once to my father's. f Don't think I
am ungrateful, or that I can ever for
get all your kindness to me; but after
this after I have done what I know
you wish me not to do I feel I have
no right to remain under your rool
any longer.', iff U'&'r & ?-.u ;
. ; Mrs. Selby Clare bowed- and said
nothing. Perhaps she was beginning
to wish for some novelty, and the ex
citement of a grand marriage for Jo
sephine would have been a fresh and
pleasing sensation. 1 bat hope frus
trated, she was not sorry to be free
of Josephine, and to be able to talk
of the ingratitude of girls. ' : ' ' '
- Next day Josephine told cur John
Riddell all. It was a heavy blow,
but he bore it bravely, like a gentle
man. and was generous and forgiving.
And Josephine returned to her fath
er's not richer by a coin than when
she had left it, but proud and happy.
Walter soon found ber. t T jae was
yet but a struggling roan, able to
welcome his young wife to nothing
better than a modest income and an
humble home. But she s was glad
and happy to be thus welcomed.
. It would be an eoonouiy on the part
of the covemnient toprevent most of
tho land-grabbing and sabsidyclaimins
practioioners with a city houM and lot,
and liberal pensions each, with the one
caving clause that tbey retire from bus
in ens. Perhaps it might accomplish
the came end as well.

TltlUDVLL AWI THE KfJ
. HLVX BILL.
- Senator Trumbull, (Radical) of Illi
nois, thus urged his objection to tbo
Ka Klux BllLwhcn it was before tho
Senate: ., ; .V- ? v'i.- - "
Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, expressed
hit regret that while o Important a
bill wm under consideration, the Ben-
ate should be so thin, and so little' at
tention be paid to the principles Involv
ed in this bill. When this Government
was formed the protection of the lifo
and liberty of Individuals was left to
the States; the Federal Government
was formed for general and national
purposes. - In respect to tbe bill be was)
willing to go as far aa tbe farthest in
any measure to enforce the authority
of the United States in airy part of the
States; but be was not willing to enter
any State for the purpose of punbihing
individual offences of one citizen -agatnt
another. As the , bill passed -the
HouHe, It was understood to go no
further than protect to the citizens in all
the rights frranted by- tho Constitution.
Tbe question was whether tbe amend
ments which had been made' to tbo
Constitution changed the principles on
which the Government was founded.
In bis opinion, the Fourteenth A mend
ment conferred no more rights of ' citi
zenship than the oritrinal Constitution
conferred. Under tbe Fourteenth
Amendment tbe power exists in the
Federal Government to prevent any
State from dtocriininatin2 in anv way
against any citizen or the - United
States; but the - power under tbat
amendment which , was claimed by
some would annibiiate the1 States. As
originally introduced In the House, : it
went to ine extent of providing pun-
anineni ior ine violation or state laws;
but the attention of some of the mora
thoughtful minds in the House had
been directed to this, hence the chancre.
As tbe bill paosed the House, he would
be willing to support it, and he regret
ted tbe amendment made by tbe
Judiciary Committee, the- effect of
wnicn was to do just what - the House
had declined to do punish offenses
against the States. If the General
Government took into its hand the en
tire protection of individual cases, tbat
wouia oe the end or ail ritate Govern
ment. As be believed that tbe liber
ties of the people were safer in tho
hands of the people themselves, ho
believed that the writ of habeas corpus
should not be suspended unless on the
most urgent necessity. The writ was
never suspended in the history of tbe
Government until the rebellion, and
Jefferson was even unwilling to vest
in Congress the power to suspend the
great writ. t . .
BILLIXCM' VILLA. J .
Josh Billings is a pros-poet as Well
as a philosopher. Following is his de
scription of his country seat on tbe Hud
son, which be offers for sale:
I kan sell for eighteen, hundred and
thirty-nine dollars, a pallaa, a neat and
pensive retirement, lokated en the virgin
banks of tbe Hudson, kontainiog 85
akers. The land ia luxuriously divided
by the hand of natur and art into pas
tur and tillage, into plain and declivity,
into stern abruptness and the dalliance
of moss tufted meder; streams of spark
ling gladness (thick with trout) danse
thro the wilderness of buty tew the low
musik of the kriket and . grasshopper.
Tbe evergreen sighs as the evening lef
er flirts thro its shadowy bnzxnm. Fruits
of tho tropics in golden buty melt on
the bows, and the bees go heavy and
sweet from the fields to tha garnering
hives. Tbe manshun is of Parian mar
ble; the porch is a single diamond set
in rabies and the mother of pearls; the
floor is ox-rosewood, and ceiliins are
more butiful than the starry vaults of
heivio. Hot and cold water squirts and
bubbles in every direction, and nothin
is wantin that a poet could pra for or art
could portra. - The stables are worthy
of the steeds of Nimrod or the studs of
Akilles, and its henery was built ex
pressively for the birds of paradise,
while somber in the distance, Jike tho
cave of a hermit, glimpses are caught of
the dorghouse. Here poets have cum
aod warbled their laze; here sculptors
have sculpt; here painters have robed
the scene uv dreary -landscapes, and
here the filosofrr discovered - the study
which made him the alkemist of . natnr.
Next, to tbe northward of this thing of
buty, sleeps there the residence and do
main of Duke John Smith; while south
ward, aad nearer the spice 'breathing
tropiks, may be sean tbe baronial v'Uly
of Earl Brown and Dncbess Widder
Jones.. Walls of primitive rock, . lade
in Roman setment, bound ' the estate,
while upward and downward the eye
catches far away, the slow gran dour of
