Valeria's Triumph. • I will confess that I linve all along considered you a woman with a “history nnd u mystery.’ ‘The result, 1 suppose, of the rather unusual manner of our be coming acquainted,’ observed Miss Yincy, with n slight smile at the gentleman lazily leaning on the back of his chair, facing the sofa where she sat embroidering. ‘I only know that I am much in debted to that, little dog for bark ing at you,’ said Mr. Kunsen, ans swering her smile, and gently dis engaging a soft white band from its occupation, to bold it in his firm ■ ■lasp. ‘Oh ! it is all very well, Mr. Run son, for you lo pretend that you did me no serious service, when yon [saved me from that horrible dog,’ commenced Mi a Vincy with much earnestness, then relaxing into play - | fulness- hut if rumor into he credi- I led, your clothes snflered in that | | encounter if you did not. Mr. Run ! sen.' and Miss Vmcy’s lovely haz-l eyes rested graciously on the gen Homan rw-n-r/s. ‘Yes, it is true that T lost a cnat | tail and my heart,’ responded Mr. I Itunsen with great solemnity, ‘but,’ ' leaning forward to smooth the soft braids- of her downcast bead, ‘I have sued for heavy damages, and won my case, have I not, Valeria?’ I ‘But have yon spoken yet to vonr mother? 1 asked Miss Vincy with ap parent irrelevance, j ‘Yes.’ with a quick frown at the i recollection. j ‘And what docs she say?’ Miss , Vincy withdrew her hand as she spoke, and became very intent upon j her embroidery. *1 am almost ashamed to let you j know,’ said Mr. I’miisen, with a slow j reluctance in his tones, ‘only that it j is your right to be fully aware of the sort of mother -in-law you will have, j Valeria. I must try to keep in mind that it is my mother of whom I speak- blit J do find it hard to ac knowledge that she has altogether declined to enll upori yon—she is what you might cull a woman of the world, and it seems she had al ready picked me ont a wife “suited to my- position,’as sho puts it; and when I altogether declined to come into her views we both got into a proper rage, and it all ended in my taking up my hat and leaving, after she had declared tragically that I should bo disinherited', and my cou sin succeeded in her favor. But af ter all, I think wo might manage to pul! along on my salary in the bank, Valeria, and I can give up wearing kid gloves, and smoke a pipe?’ and Mr. Rnnscn’s rapid sentence became a slightly anxious interrogative at it’s close. ‘But do von think I might to mar ry you in opposition to your moths er’s wishes ?’ said Valeria quietly. •By heavens, I do,’ said Mr. Run-, sen, with sudden vehemence and i flashing eyes. ‘I am neither a boy ; nor a pupnet, and if I thought you I would throw rue over, because of my ; mother’s folly and ambition,l should go straight to the devil.’ ‘Ob, pray don’t,’ interrupted Miss Vincy with a gesture of distress— ! I fully intend to many you, we are S both rational beings, and we aie ! neither of us children. I agree with you that it would be an injustice to ourselves to sacrifice the happiness of both our lives, without a reavonas ble excuse—bnt Philip, perhaps your mother has some reason for de clining me as her daughter-indaw— i perhaps she even suspects me as an i adventuress,’ with a quick glance at 1 Mr. Runsen'sjface. ‘lint then,’ said the gentleman with nil impatient pull at his mus tache, ‘no matter what my mother thinks or says, so long as you are mine, Valeiia,’ taking both her hands in a large clasp, nnd looking deep into her gray eyes. ‘Valeria, I trust you from my heart, and although your past, is not known to me, yet when I look into your eyes, I feel that your soul is as beautiful as yourself. I love you and believe in you,as Idoin my religion—by faith and I cannot express bow deep is my gratitude for the gift of your love.’ Valeria’s eyes were wet with tin shod tears when lie had spoken, for it was not often this gentleman ut tered such words of serious tender ness. ‘Philip, I thank you from my heart,’ sho answered, after a mo ment’s pause, and her pale, lovely face was raised steadily to his. ‘But, I never intended you should marry mo without full knowledge of mv life before I came to this quiet little country place. Here in your arms it is even sweet to remember I have not always been so happy, Philip, until three months ago I expected lo bo another man’s wife—no matter who be was,’ with an arch smilo at her lover’s contracted brows—‘we are nothing to each other now. At fust, when wo were engaged, I thought I loved him; it was so do., lightful to imagine myself beloved— bnt I soon found i cared nothing for him. I shrank from having him come near; I could not bear that lie should even touch my hand, and yet 1 was ashamed and afraid to tell him that I would not many him. lint very soon he broke it off him- j self—the money that my parents had left me when they died, was all lost, and then I discovered that I had narrowly escaped being married for mv money. [ was very politely jilted, Philip, but I do assure you it, was worth all ray money to !>•> free f that horrible marriage. But. I ; detested New York after that: so one day, like the Arabs, 1 silently stole away, and came to this quiet little spot where I had been as a child, little dreaming, Philip, 1 should meet ray fate so soon. ‘Poor child !’ said Philip tenderly, ‘yon must give me the right to ‘love, cherish and protect’ you very soon indeed, and I thank God you arc a poor woman, that is [anxiously) if you think yon can manage on my salary of throe thousand a year and be content,’ and l’hilip looked into her sweet face and read there that she was unutterably content. * * * * * ‘Valeria, you must put on your best, bib and tucker to night; they tell me this ball is to boa most ex clusive affair, and of course my mother will have early bulletins to inform her of your debid in Wash ington society. They had been married a month and were sitting tote ateto at. their hotel breakfast, freshly returned from their wedding tour, and here in Washington Valeria was alto gether strange. ‘Your commands shall bo obeyed,’ answered Valeria, gavly, ‘only you are banished for the day, while I concoct ray toilet and furbish up my finery.’ L iter, while Mr. Kunsen, in his correct evening dress, sat, reading his paper awaiting rather iinpatiori tly his wife, the door opened and unheard sho entered. ‘Do I quite suit you ?‘ said a gen tle voice, and then Mr. Kunsen lowered his paper and became trans fixed. Before him stood a vision of loviiness, in magnificent cream-white silk, covered with delicate web-like lace. Superb diamonds flashed in her ears and encircled the round white column of her throat, shone on her arms and in the rippling masses of her hair; but fairer to sec than all was the sofc radiance of her hazel eyes, the pink flush upon her cheek, as she said again, ‘Do I quite suit you, Philip ?‘ “Have I gone mad i‘ was her hus band's answer, as lie took in all the details of her exquisite toilette. •Why, Valeria, where on earth did you get these touching the huge solitaires in her ears. ‘Relics of departed grandeur,love,' she answered, lightly, with a tap of her point lace fan. ‘Gome along, will you ? We shall j get there at sensation time as it is,l fear.* So Philip was content to kiss the pretty upturned face and enwrap her in her fur-lined cloak. There was a universal hush in the conver sation when Mr. and Mrs. Runsen’s names wore announced,for Mr. Run sen had held quito a pronounced place iu society before his marriage, and it was generally known that he had incurred, his family's displeass ure by a mesalliance with a schem ing advi at mess,whoso maiden name was even unknown. But now there was a low murmur of admiration, as the beautiful and graceful woman entered, with the air of a duchess nnd the self-possessed manner of a woman of fashion. Very soon Mrs. llnnsen became tlio centre of the most distinguished group in the room. Altogether the evening was a triumph, the gentlemen taking every opportunity to congratulate Philip on his selection of a wife, and the holies proving by their ab sorbed gaze, their rocognitou of the costlinossjof Mrs. Runsen's toilet. ‘lsy-the by,’ said Philip, as they drove back to the hotel, ‘I saw my j cousin claim your acquaintance this evening—-did yon know him in New York ?’ ‘Philip, you will ho rather nstons tonished to hear it was your cousin whom I was engaged to marry. He was quite dazed when ho found it was Valeria Vincy you lmd married,’ and Mrs. Runsen’s laughter was musical with tho happiness she felt. I ‘How altogether comlortftblo to think yon are saved from that un mitigated idiot,’ said Philip, in an swer. ‘Ho is quite welcome to my mother’s money, dearest, now that I have you,’ * * * * At. eleven o’clock next, morning Valeria came to her husband equip ped for a promenade. ‘II you will permit me to bo so vulgar,’ roraarhod her husband, as lie. surveyed her from over his morn ing paper, ‘I should r ay that, you are becoming rather stunning in your raiment.’ And indeed Mrs. Runsen’s tall fair beauty was ndmiinbly set off by tho seal brown of her velvet suit, | ‘And here, in accordance with j Washington usage,’ continued Mv j Ramson, while his wife fastened her long gloves, ‘here is n lengthy de scription of vonr incomparable beau ty, etc.,’ touching the paper, ‘and the statement that your diamonds alone are worth a fortune, Mrs. Rnnsen; so that T am expecting every mo incut a telegram from my mot hereto assure ns wo arc forgiven, and wel coming us to her arms.’ Just as Mr. Kunsen spoke there was a rap upon tho door and the ser vant announced Mrs. James llnnsen in the parlor, so with some merri ment they descended to meet her. Mrs. Itunsen, senior, was very gra cious to her new daughter, playfully reprimanding her son on being so dilatory in bringing bis wife to see 1 1 or, and altogether ignored the cir cumstances under which they had last parted. ‘As I sec you we.ro going out,’ said she presently, turning to Valeria, ‘you must let me give you an airing; my landau is at tho door, and we can drive up and down the Avenue.’ ‘Thank you very much,’ answered Valeria quickly, ‘hut lam about to take Philip to look at a house I have selected—wo are tired of hotel life.’ ‘Then I shall go with yon,’ insis ted Philip’s mother; and as it was impossible to decline this, Valeria accepted in silence. As they rolled westward, Valeria, was very silent, while Mrs. Rnnsen gave a stream of advice as to the ad vantage of hot and cold water and stationary wardrobes, but allowed that they were impossible things in a house available to their very mode rate income. ‘Oh, I dare say Valeria will man age everything in some wonderful way,’said Philip. ‘She lias tho tal ent, for making a little do a groat deal, I have found out already,’ and uh he spoke, they drew up, in answer ito Valeria’s instructions, before a stately stone edifice, much hand somer than Mrs. Runsen’s own man sion. ‘That stupid coachman has made some mistake,’said the owner of the carriage, as she prepared to inform him; but Valeria said gently, ‘No, he is quite right,’and stepped out of the carriage, the others following, scarcely knowing why. Up tho broad steps, across the tes selated hall into a room like fairy land with its Administer carpet of pale hues, of blue satin hanging and furniture, while beyond opened vistas of apartments as axquisitly designed, in orange and ebony, nnd further on in crimson and gilt. For a moment mother and son stood looking at this silent splendor; then Philip urned, looking in his wife's timid jii'own face, Hiiicl sternly, ‘Valeria, tell me at once, wlmt thin all means;’ nmi at bis word and look, Valeria iorgot lie'' mother-in-law, and lied into her husband’s arms. ‘Forgive mo my deception,’ sho said, her loyal bead thrown back to look into bis face. ‘lt was no sweet to know you loved mo for myself t alone I did not really loso my mon-1 <>y —only a part of it—l only meant to test my friends; it was foolish, ro-* mantic—l know it, but look what it has won me! Your love—the crowning happiness of my life.’ And Valeria loaned, breathless, watching her husband's face. Gradu ally hia blows had relaxed their sternness, and when sho ceased, ho said, smiling; ‘lt is cpiito wonderful, and alto gether like a novel, you female Lord of Burleigh; and I fear my unfortu nate cousin Ims lost another fortune; for I suppose, mother,’ with a gleam of amusement in his eyes, ‘you will not cut me off without a shilling af ter all.’ •Of course yon knew t could not hold out long against you two cliil dren,‘said bis mother benignly; ‘and my dear child,’ to Valeria, ‘I hope you will coiuo to mo ns to your own mother, since you have unfortunate ly lost your own/ To which Valeria assented with great outward equanimity. * * * * ‘Do yon forgive my ruse ?’ said Valeria, kneeling beside her Ims band‘s chair, when they were at last alone. •You have mo in such subjection, I find it impossible to be displeased with any thing you do,‘ ho answered, with a caressing smile. After all, it was through my mon ey that I was saved to be your wife, 1 said Valeria, then with a gay laugh, ‘and now wo can afford an unlimited amount of kid gh ves, so perhaps it is more desirable to have thirty thousand a year instead of three. 1 insides, it lias given me the good opinion of your mother, and your friends; it is only you my love, my life, that have loved me for myself. 1 1 honored'* Monthly. What a Man had Rather nr..—A correspondent of the Greensboro Herald expresses his ‘fathers 1 us fol lows: I would rather bo poor with an easy conscience, than rich and for ever troubled with the reflection that what I possessed was dishonestly ob tained. I would rather boa full -grown, black, bob-tailed dog and bay the moon, than a worthless loafer, get ting my living by sponging on other folks. I would rather be a pet monkey and take in uickles for an organ grinder, than a fawning sycophant, trotting after, praising and aping big men. I would rather be a boot-black than a boot- lick. An Englishman as boasting to a Yankee tliat they had a book in the llrilish Museum which was once owned by Cicero. ‘That isn't noth ing, 1 retorted tho Yankee; ‘in the museum at Hosting they've got tho lead-pencil that Noah used to check off the animals that went into tiie ark.‘ ► - Josh Hillings is supposed to have referred to a prominent politician when ho said it. was belter not to know so many things than it is to know so many things that ain’t so. In the stomach of a large fish re cently caught in the fiver Dear Port Washington, Ohio, was found the watch and chain lost by a man wad ing the river over two years ago.

Whenever young ladies learn so to stick a pin in their aprons that it won't scratch a fellow's wrist, there will be more marriages.
