A LOVE MATCH.
BY G. P. BURNHAM.
Somebody, in solemn prose, has writ¬
that “the c< urse of true !ove never
runs smoothly.’ This authoritative and
sweeping assersion may be correct, in
the , main. Yet it sometimes hapu ens,
however tort»<H» tbi. current i. gener
ally, that tbe persistent stream finds its
way to the iight through greener fields
more pleasant places than this
wholesale sentiment would seem to in¬
dicate.
During the out forgotten pecuniary
panic of’57, I recall to mind the inci
which is strictly truthful.
The father of Emiiy Walters was a
thriving importer, and tbe family lived
in good style in a fashionable quarter of
New York city, up to and through the
melancholy days of the mercantile crash
mentioned, vkhen so many hundreds of
his class in the community found them¬
selves financially wrecked.
The daughter had been carefully edu
cated, and she had never known ashad
ow yet to fall upon her path; until the
occurrences took place which are here
narrated.
Charles Hein men way, a young book
I keeper in Pearl street, had met Miss
! Emily in society a year previously, and
became her suitor. The young lady
was pteagad with him and came to love
him. He proposed for her hand. With
the eqneeht of father and mother—the
latter given somewhat reluctantly, by
the way-—they were engaged. And
young Hemmenway looked forward
with high hopes to the time when he
should be able to take the sweet girl to
wife, and be able to support her in
j manner equal io the fine social position
she bad thus far enjoyed in life.
But the disaster came- Hemmen
way’s employers, like hundreds of other
hitherto prosperous merchants in New
York and elsewhere, Were rtiined. fife
Was thrown out of employment; and
like many of his associate clerical friends,
he found it impossible to obtain position
for the time.
to
Six months after the crisis had pase
Chales Uemmouway was still out of
employment. His small store of ready
means hatl been almost absorbed. He
had hope 1 , long before, to hove been
able to get another start. But no open¬
ing offered, and he begau to get uneasy
and disheartened.
Old Walters lmd escaped from the die
aster which had overthrown so many of
his heighbors. Hie establishment was
an old h* use ; the firm was both rich
ar; d strong; and they had weathered
j | the storm amidst which so many others
went down. But his business had been
' necessarily curtailed. He didn’t want
I HUV uew clerks. Indeed he had ’ t»er- 1
*
j force, discharged several old ones.

i <•“? »*>*• h««l*omeyoung bookkeeper,
j but she preferred had in view another parly, whom
to acknowledge as her
ture suu-iu-law. At an annronriate ti l oi>- l
purtuiiity she questioned Hemmenway
us to pros]iects. They certainly )»•’>
were mmhinEr bur promising in a
cuniary point of view. But of this Mis.
Winters had long since well informed
herself, of course.
John Wart cm was a widower. But
John Warton waa rich. He was a mem¬
ber, in good standing, of the same church
to which Mrs. Walters belonged ; and
was a favorite with the mother, though
he was quite old enough to be Emily’s
father. But John was not a bad ‘catch,*
except for the disparity of age bet ween
him aud Miss Walters.
This last mentioned fact was rather
a recommendation in his favor, with
Mrs. Walters ; for, hadn’t John ‘sowed
his wild oats V Was he not, from his
age and experience, a partner better
suited for a young girl, than a man pre¬
mature in years, without an established
character, and poor besides. Of* course
he was. At any rate., he was so iu the
opinion of Mrs. Walters. And she was
Emily's mother
Now, who should know better whaf
is right and proper, and beneficial to a
daughter’s weal than her own mother.
Surely, as a general rule, no one on
earth.
But Emily was affianced. She Ha«?
been engaged for months to Cliorles
Hem men way. Well, what of that? Ci r?
cumstances alters cases. No one Could
foresee the disaster which had fallen
with such crushing weight on the mer¬
cantile community, and rio one could
answer for its consequences. The times
had changed. Emiiy was grovviug old¬
er. llemmenway was not getting rich¬
er. John Warton had solicited the hand
of Emily in marriage—and of her mo
ther.
As yet. Miss Emily had not been cou
suited in this, to her, raiher important
®0gotiation. When it was proposed she
most strenuously opposed the arrange¬
ment for many reasons. She loved
Charles Hemuienway; she did not like
Warton. She was bound to Oharles in
htrnor, for she w 8 pleged to Trtarry him.
He wus but three yeafs h&r senior; John
Warton was twenty-three. Charles WuS
yodng, handsome, and agreeable ; tbe
other had already begun to approach
the ‘sere and yellow leaf’ of age, aud
was not attractive in person at all. She
did not fancy John Warton, any way ;
and she utterly refused to listen to any
suggedtiod of the kiod, io connection
w ith him.
Still, Emily Waters was a very sensi
ble as welf as an obedient, good girl.—
Charles, unldckily, had no present
means with which to support himself,
to say tiothing of a wife and family.—
And while his business prospects grew
no better, very rapidly time flew by,
and her father joined her mother in the
crusade against Charles, and in favor of
John’s pretensions.
In the mean time John Wartoh, roak-f
ing the most of his cleer vantage-ground,
became a very constant visitor at Mr.
Walter’s residence, and to the best of
his awkward ability he made himself
agreeable to Emily, in so far as she
would permit it or accept his importun¬
ing attentions.
Charles Hem men way’s visits became
\ ^ 088 frequent than formerly. He could
not but discern that his prospects of a
union with the girl he devotedly loved,
at length were rapidly waning, Emily
might have been tempted possibly to
liave ^ed from her father’s protection,
ai) d married Charles, had he hinted such
proposal to her ; and for good or ill, she
might, with him, have accepted the
ohances for eer future, But her lover
dare not propose this ; and she saw, at
hurt, tint the match must tuevitably be
broken off,
hilc this thought was being . fi»rced
u i>ul . I.,t, and while the attention, of
Sobu Warton were getting to be daily
n, ‘ >,v Jwwoua, more importunate, and, ,
j l°r him. mo e hopeful in prospect, the
j parents of Emily VY T ,alters unitedly

j Wo*- to the hopes of the lovers,

b^d gone forth, It was peremptory.—
i They J sat alone together for the last
j time during their youthful years of ^
1 * It is hard to part from you, Charles,’
said Emilv. amid her G* a rs ■ 11 seems
but yesterday, so happily have passed
! the (Jays aud hours for two long years
and more, when you offered and I ac¬
cepted yofir pledge Of love for me, and
when we mutually promised to wed
each other. I know your position pe¬
cuniarily. 1 know how honest you are
in purpose, how honorable you have
been in all your acts. And I feel—oh!
how keenly—the force of this blow
which now so cruelly separates us. But,
Charles, it is our destiny.’
* Her lover could not reply. He had
no words with which he could consis¬
tently combat the determination of Em¬
ily’s parents to bring their acquaintance
to an end. He was powerless now.
‘ Does not this plan, after all,’ said
Ey.ily, ‘ seem to be best; Is it net bet¬
ter for me, and for you V Let us wait.
Let us hope. We are young, we. can
well wait a while. We must part for
the present; .1 do not bring my miiid
to believe it is, as yon hint, for ever.’
A groan escaped from her lover’s lip X
as lie briefly responded :
4 flay, Emily, you deceive yourself in
this. You ate destined for another—
not for me !’
‘ I am aware of your fears. I know
that my mother urges this. But, as I
now feel, Charles Hemmenway, I would
sather seek my grave than become the
wife of John Warton ! Do you doubt
me, Charles. Have no fears, iudulg
in no speculations upon this score.
• Take courage* Begin anew Estab¬
lish yourself in some honorable calling
somewhere. Continue to be a man, as
you have thus far shown yourself to me.
And permit no adverse fortune to damp¬
en the hopes that you and I will yet en¬
tertain, that we shall meet hereafter
happily, when the barrier ttf our pre¬
sent mtimv shall have been removed by
favorable fortune. Rely on me, Charles,
as I will rely on you. But for a time,
it is inevitaJle ; we must be separated.
Wait and hope/
The young man had feared it Vfrotfld
come to this. He knew that Emily had
long been urged to discardJiim. And
notwithstanding her assurances now,
he felt that his parting was to be final.
He hoped, it is true, but it was against
hope. He bellied in Emily’s truth,
and good Intent. But he felt, that she
did not realize the power that her pa¬
rents possessed over her. Aud so he
:
4 Dear Emily, your words do not sur¬
prise me. I have long been prepared
fo^ the results of ydur parents’ opposi¬
tion to me. I cannot control) events.
I am too poor, and too wretched in spir¬
it now, to offer scarcely a \tford that
might savor of resistance to this com¬
mand on the part of those whd have the.
right to control you for the present. I
am grieifedv but I will be resigned. I
will ‘wait and hope,* as you suggest.
‘ I trust that you have well consider¬
ed the future, dear Emily. But, in all
candor, let me tel! you what must inev¬
itably follow this act on your father’s
part. I se ; that this is but the begin¬
ning of the end, alas! for me. But I
am still powerless to avoid it, or pre¬
vent it.
‘I do not question your intents I
do not doubt that you think, to-night,
dear Emily, that you are equal to this
exigency, now and hereafter. But I re¬
puat it, it is the design of your parents
to unite you in marriage to John War
ton. Sooner or later this will be the
j result. And mark what 1 now say to
j von, It is .but a question of time. If
you live you will \k his wife ; though
he is more than twenty years your se
nior, and though ° this idea may ^ be verv
distasttdul to yoti t.-night.
-Oh.Charle*, how can you euggeat
this possibility V exclaimed Emily,
warmly. ,
‘ I know it is at this moment disgust 1 -
rng, and you may experience astonish
mem at these worrls, dear Emily. But
You will not forget them. I predict it:
though , <• , burns . heart . this . .,
it my to give
thought an ntteianee. These are my
last words, dear Emily, at present. I
will pray lor your happiness. I*will be

succeeded very handsomely, in, business
for a time. He thou wentto Valparai¬
so, where he was still more fortuna-e, ta
and where he fetnaiued some years.
The above events occurred in 1850
ami ’57. No cd«i«t Id ideation passed be¬
tween the parties for a loug period.—
The summers came, and the winters f
passed away year after year. And Etu
iy reached her twenty-second birth¬
day. Jon Wurton had been a constant
visitor in her father’s family for three
long years. Johil was u very respecta¬
ble man, and his wealth increased as he
grew oldar. The mother of Emily had
been unremitting iu her efforts to bring *
about the union between her daughter !
and this 4 exemplary man.’ And Emily '
yielded, at last, and made Johu ‘eter- i
nally happy;* so Warton. he declared, by finally
becoming Mrd. u j
Charles fulfilled. Ilemipenway’s Emily had prophecy heard w;is *'
thus never
one word from her former ardent lovef ‘
horn the night he left New York ; and'*
she did not know whether he were alive
ar dead, fortunate or unfortunate, mtoubje, mmv^
ried or single, happy Or .
In the meanwhile the young book¬
keeper pursued the even tenor of hi<t
way, but never heard of Emily’s fat**-*
during his long absence from home
kindred* ,
And so so’iftfi seven yeafS passed p wij>y.
Emily had been a wedded wif a five*
years, and was the mother of two loVd
iy children. John VVarfcon died and left
Emily heir to his handsome ; ptup0n>f^fl
wh.ch proved ump'e for her geaeroiitf J
support and that of the two little ones, * *
The blooming widoWvWent to resit^
quiet the Hudson t
upon a estate on Riv¬
er, leaving the children to be educated andM
near the city, in competent hands,
visiting them very frequently, but keep~„j
ing herself aloof from society and igno¬

the opposite sex, though she still re¬

South America, Where hd hhd
resided during the last four years, and
where he had amassed a pretty fortune.
He had now come home to enjoy it,—*—
He had learned only the day before that
his Emily had become Mrs. Warton
that she was liowa Widow ; and he re
