KATIE YALE’S MARRIAGE.;
Or Love and Luxury.
BY J. T.'TIWWDRWGK.
“If ever I marry,” Katie Y'nle usqd to say;
half in jest, half in earnest—•* if ever I mar
ry. the happy man—or tho unhajrjnj one, if
throj quall^cntions:
“ First a fortune.
“ Second good looks.
. “ And'thjrdly. common sense.”
“I men!Ion the fortune first, hecauso I
think it tho most desirable qualification of
tho three. Although I could never think of
marrying a fool, or a man whose ugliness I
should be ashamed.of still I think ono with
ploidy of rnonoy would ho preferablo to liv
ing obscurely with a handsome, intellectual
man—to whom economy might be necessa
ry”
I do not know how much of this sentiment
issued from Katie’s heart. She undoubied-
ly indulged lofty ideas of station and style-
hut that she was capable of aoopor, botter
feelings- none doubted.
At the ago of eighteen she had many sui
tors. but as she nover gave a serious thought
to uioro than two. wo will follow her exam
ple. and discarding all except those favored
.ones, consider tlioir redativo claims.
Ifthiswcro any other then a true story, I
should certainly use nn artist’s privilege, and
aim to produce an effect by making a strong
contrast between theso two favored individu
als. If I Could have my way one should be a
poor genius, and somewhat of a hero, tho
other a wealthy fool, and somewhat of
knave. •
But tho truth is—
Our poor gonitis was not much of a gonius
nor very poor. Ho was by profession a
music teacher, and ho could live comfortably
In oxCrciso thereof—withouta ny hope, howev
er, of over attaining to wealth. ,
Kntle could not help loving Frank Minot,
and he knew it. Ho.was certain Rhe preferred
his society to that of Mr. Wellington whom
alone he saw fit to honor with the apptdla-
tion of rival.
This Mr. Wellington (his- companion call
ed him tho “duke,”’* was no idiot or hump-
buck, as I could have wished him to be. in
order to rauko a good story. On the .contrary,
lie was a man of senso, uducatjon, good looks,
and fine manners.
Besides this his income wns sufficient to
onablo him to live superbly. Also.’ho was
considered two or threo degrees handsomer
than Mr. F. Minot
Therefore, tho only thing on which Frank
lmd to depend, was the power ho possessed
over Kntio.s sympathies and affections. The
duke”—although just tho man for hor in
every other sense, being blessed with a for'
tune, good looks, and common sense—had
never been able to draw theso out; and the
amiable -conceited Mr. Frank was not wil
ling to:boliovq that she would sufibr mere
worldly considerations to control tho aspira
tions of lior heart.
•• However, sho said to him, ono day, when
ho pressed her t0 decide lds fato \
“Oh, Frank I l cm sorr y that wo have over

“ Yes—for wo must part now—”
“ Part!”: repeated Frank .tlu nlng palo.
It was evident lio had not expected this..
“ Yes—yes,” said Katler, casting dotfn.her
oyes with another piteous sigh
Frank sat by hor sidu; he placed his arm
around her waist, without heeding her feoble
rosistjineb;' ho lowered his vO|co, and ;talkcd
proud—ambitious—selfish 1 Now If you

u Then, lovo, fhrowell!”
Ho took hor hand, gazed a moment ten
derly and sorrowfully upon her beautiful,
tearful face ; then clasped her to his bosom.
She permitted tho cmbraco. Sho • even
gave way to the imtmlsc of tlio instant, hnd
twined lior arras about his nock. But in a
moment her resolution came to her aid, and
she pushed him (Yom her with a sigh.
“ Shatl I go 1” ho articulated.
A ibeblc yes fell from her quivering lips.
And an Instant lafer. sho was lying upon
tho sofa, sobbing and weeping passionately—
alone.

her heart, had cost her more tlmn sho cot'iUI

en life'oflnxnry proved hut a poor* consola
tion. it seemed, for tho sacrifice sho had
made.
Sho lay long upon tho sofa, sobbing and
weeping passionately. Gradually her grief
appeared to' exhaust itself. Her tears ceased
to flow, and at length her head was pillowed
on her arm. and her taco was half hidden in
a flood of benutiful curls.
Thostrugglo was over. Tho agony was
passed. Sho saw Mr Wellington enter, and
arose clicei fully t,o receive him. Ills man
ners pleased her; his station and fortuno
fascinated hor moro. Ho offered her his hand.
She accepted it. A kiss sealed tho engage

Thomas Francis Meagher or O’Mihor. »
This dlsllhglilshcd Irish exile arrived at N.
York in tho Acorn from Pernambuco, on tlio
26th nit. Tho ncrnld says "no kept himself
rorlbotly 'incog' until Thursday, oxcept to one
or two friends. In tho afternoon of that day,
he called on Mr. Richard O’Oormnn. Jr., and
Air. John B. Dillon, at their office. In William

These gentlemen nro lawyers, and both Irish
exiles, who wero embarked In tho same canso
with Meagher. They fortunately escaped
without trial, Accompanied by Mr. Dillon,
and Air. O’Gnrman. lie proceeded to tho resi

Tho magistrate gavo It up ns a bad case,

in order not to glvo tho British authorities
any excuse fur saying ho had violated his
pledge. Ho wns accompanied nnd assisted
by Un co young English settlers, who supplied
him with horses and lmd horses themselves.
They proposed to wait till tho police enmo,
and kill them. But Alonglmr thought It un
necessary to shed blood, hut walled till the
police came, and kept his friends waiting at n

They traveled over 180 miles without halt,
havlng’relavs of horses on tho way. They nt
length reached, unmolested, a lonely .spot
upon the sen const, where, according to previ
ous arrangements, a whale boat was in wait
ing, nnd bore him otfln safety. He lmd no
conceit with IVillinm Smith O’Brien or John
Mltcil'cli nnd acted entirely on his own re
sponsibility. They wero entirely ignorant of
his Intentions. Hut.lt is to ho hoped Hint
tlioy too. will act on tlmlr responsibility, nnd
also escape; John Alltehel resided about 80
miles distant, nnd IVillinm Smith O’Brien

Wm. Smith O’Brien wns sinking beneath the
oppression. He wns qnite bent, and looked
very old. Before his Imprisonment ho was
perfectly erect—nnd wns a Imlo man. His
proud spirit, like the sturdy oak, would not
bend before tho storm, though It may break
down his body.
Air. Meaghor gives tho most extraordinary
accounts of (ho gold excitement In Australia.
The precious ntehil Is found in vast quantities,
nnd persons of every description nre forsaking
their nsnal nvocntlons. arid going to the mines.
Tho polico nnd tho turnkeys of Iho jails havo

When if became certain ycslcrdny afternoon,

Irishmen nnd societies thronged to tho office
of Alcssrs. Dillon * O'Gorman, to ascertain
the truth, nnd towglton him. nowau, how-

Betwecn nlno and ton o’olock last' evening
tho following companlosoftho OOtli (Second
Irish) Regiment, accompanied by the Brook
lyn Cornet Band, proepeded to,tlio residence
of Mr. O'Gormnh, to serenade tho Irish patri
ot’—the AIcnghcr Cadets, Captain Honch-
man; Duhallow Rangers, Company H. Cap
tain Cpakly; tlio Fotigli-nhallaghs, Company
E. Captain Bynn; and the Mechanics’ Guard.
Company G. Captain Grcon. Theso compa
nies were joined by Lieutenant Hutson, Llou
tenant Cady, nnd soveral offleors of tho Ninth
Regiment. Thoy marched down Broadway
to the South Ferry, nnd a largo crowd follow-
cd.-wlilch, at tho othor sldo. soon dwelled tp
nn Immense miiltltndo, and It was estimated
that thoro wero somo seven or eight thousand
persons around Iho rcsldenco ’of Air. O'Gor-
raan when tho military reached It.
Air. Atcaghor camo to tho door, nnd was
briefly addressed by Captain Hlnch man on tho
pnrt of the Cadets and tho military, no was
vehemently ohecred by tho mnUltudo. In
reply, he apologized for not being ahlo to do
justlco to his feelings, \venriod ns ho was by
so long a nca voyage. He could not account
for their enthusiasm, for he regretted ho could
not point to a single bnttlo, as somo European
exiles had recently dono who hnd come to
this country, no was deprived of all that
inspiration; but still ho dcoply felt for tho
wrongs of his native land. His banishment
hnd not changed his sentiments, nnd ho could
say the samo for tils compatriots, Wm. Smith
O'Brien nnd John Alltehel. Ills only regret
in leaving t(ye British penal colony wns to
lonvo thorn behind, and the joy of his cscapo
was therefore tinged with sadness, Alltehel
looked woll, though suflbrlng mental anxiety.
O'Brien, ho regretted to say, was much olian-
gadflrr IW’LoTO; inosuflerfngs of Ills nob jo
almost to tho dust. Ho concluded by thank
ing them, and snld ffcrhnps he would tnko
somo other opportunity of making thotrt a
more satlsfhctory statement than ho cauld do
to-night.
Air. Atenghor then withdrew, and tho mul
titude and the military retired, after tho hand
had played some spirit-stirring Irish airs.
Immediately after, the officers of tlio Ninth
Regiment Including Captain Phelan and Cap
tain Alnrltoy, accompanied by AInnahan’s
band, also serenaded tho escaped patriot; af
ter which. lie withdrew tbr tlio night.

he had no equal in a country always renown

cannot, by any means, copo with Ills flery and
classic speeches. His speech in reply to tho
sentence of death, drawing nnd quartering
thnt was pronounced upon him, (for ho was
tried for high trenson, and did not then know
but tho sentence would he carried out)—his
