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. But ,..«n g Ii™*™*., « tu „ n»oud*spiri 4 4 ed to ask huv 3 business fa- 1 it trie hand* of Emuy's lutber. do vors hc re ma :ned out of employment, ex purnfed iiis means, failed to And occupa ition, am! finally Wg- «. to get into i Mrs. Walters A’atched him j ,, • she nofouly .... did • > not 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 ^'- s teJ that young Hemmingway’s visits ! tw their daughter must cease „„ 1 his • was a final - , and . , nearr-erushiug , . . j Wo*- to the hopes of the lovers, j A®* t l Jat was thus to separate them 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.

He kissed her, embraced her, aud left her amid her t$ftra. And within live days young Hem men way to >k passage in a brig bound to the West Indies. Af- * teradtday df W tetfnthff he t<wn<f * * situation in a shipping-house, w bird tote, 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¬ ring all advances she encountered from the opposite sex, though she still re¬ tained her beauty, and was now ai nia-^ tured aud elegant woman iu every rw-* speot. * . s mime adi at I bid ’ Oue morning in the early siUmmer of r 1804, from Mrs. Emily Warton children.

Th^J gentleman observe was a stranger and he did -« not her troubled countenance ifjr a moment. Mrs. Warton thought she recognized him, however; and' she’ threw aside her veil, to see what might 1 ' be tho effect, perhaps. As she turrW > towards him, he started, peered into her face, put out his baud, apt^ earnqetty'/ -t 4 Emily, is it you V r*’ 0*a *m . • the ‘Charles fair widow, Hemmenway,* 4 is it possible respond* hav^ returned alive.’ you ■■■•?*»twH Aud the two old friends were quick¬ ly in pleasant converse. ed Emily’s from former lover had just return¬ 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 solved to seek her obfc, and learn whe*' ther he had 4 waited’ and hoped’ suflL ciently long to deserve the li>Ve he Had 1 sacrificed, for t ! he time being, at hdlP re- ’ quest. He was still a bachelor, and he still' elt as strongly deVotted to hik‘dear Em-' ily,* as when, in the old bright days,* they lived Only in and for each other. We wil not enlarge upon the details' of the succeeding interviews between', the now supremely happy lovers’ Each wus now master and mistress of their* ovvu fortunes. And three months only’ elapsed Emily from this"happy meetihg, when' Warton became Mrs. Charles” Hemmenway ; and to-day they are liv¬ ing, in the midst of plenty and happi¬ ness, upon their elegant estate ofi' the' banks of the noble Hudson: Napoleon thinks Victbf* Hugo tbk' greatest Hugo writer of the day ;’ and Victor’ thinks Napoleott' the' greatest' wronger of the d&y.
