LOVE AND MONEY.
A STORY OF RMS.
• Ems is a charrning..place, .It lies , abont
twelve miles to the south-east of Coblenti, in
the valley of the Lahu—that miniature Rhine;
bordered with orchards and vineyards, and
steep :wooded hills. Nothing can -be more .
romantic than the situation of the town, which
consists of one long irregular / line of h6tels .
and - lodging-houses, with the mountains at tie
baCkOhe river in frent, and lOngdouble rows
of acacias arid linden,s planted!at each side of
the carriage-way.. Swarms ofdonkeys, with
gay ;''saddles, attended by drivers in 'blue
blouses and scarlet trimmed caps, loiter be
neath the trees, 'soliciting - hire. The Dttkeof
Nassau's band plays alternate selections of
Gerinan, Italian and French music in the pa
vilion hi the public ~a rden. Fashionable in
valids are promenading. Gaming is going
* forward • busily in the Conversation-Hans
alike daily and.nightljt. 'Ladies are reading
novels and eating ices within-bearing- of the
barid;. or go 4, with colored glass tumblers',
in their bands, %towards the Kurhaus, . where
the hot springs come bubbling up from their
nauseous soirees down, in the low -vaulted
galleries filled with bazaar-like shops, loting-'
ers, touters, and health-seekers. All is pleas
ure,lndolence, and flirtation. . • ,
'o Ems, therefore, came the Herr Graff
von Steinberg—or, 'as we shmild say, the
Coimt Von . Steinberg—to drink the waters,
Wit() N l tilk away . a few weeks 'of the- . sum
mer seasitti. He was a tall, fair, handsome
young nien • an eacellept specimen', of the
GeiTnan• *dragoon. You -would neVer sup
pose, to look at him, that anything of illness
cenld be his inducement for visiting Ems ;
an,d 'yet' he suffered: from two very 'serious
miltules, both. Of which, it was to be feared,
were incurable by any springs, medicinal or
otherwise.. In a word; he was hopelessly; in ,
love, and desperately poor. The case was'
this :—llis grandfather had. left. aiarge
erty / which his
.father, an irreclaimable gam-,
bier, - had spent to the uttermost farthing.—
The'Lyouth had been placed in the
chiefly throughthe interest of a friend, His,
father was now dead';'theinheritanee forever
gone; and he had absolutely nothing beyond
his pay as .a, captain of dragoons, and the dis
tant prospect of oneday retiring with the ti
tle and half pay of Major. A sorry future'
for one who was disinterestedly- and deeply
in love With one 'of the richest heiresses in
Germany !.
'Who Marries my *4 - .latighter will receive
with her a dowry of 200,000 - florins, and- I'
shall expect her husbaq to possess, at least,
an equal fortune.'
So•said the Baron of HohendorP in cold,
reply to the lover's timid declaration ;
,and
with these words still sounding in his ears,
weighing'on his spirits, and lying, by day and
~ nigt,r,t, heavily upon his heart, came the Count
von,Steinberg, to seek forgetfulness, or, at
least, temporary amusement, at the Brunnen
of DO. But\in vain.. Pale 'and silent, he
roamed restlessly to and fro upon the_ public
promenades, or wandered away to hide his
wretchedness in the forests and lonely valleys
around the neighborhood of the town.- 1 ,
Sometimes he would mingle with the gay
crowd in the Kurhaus, - and taste the bitter
waters; somethnes linger mournfully round'
the. tables of the gaining company-, gazing en-
vionsly, yet with a kind of--virtuous horror;
at the glittering heaps of gold and at the
packets of 'crisp yellow notes which there
daanged hand's- so swiftly and in such profu
sion. But Albert you Steinberg was no
gambler. He had seen and experienced the
evil of that terrible vice too keenly already
in his own father, to full a prey to it himself.
Years ago he had vowed never to play ; and
he had kept his oath, for no card-. had. 'ever
,
been touched by his hand. Even now, when'
he found himself, as - it might happen now and
then, looking on with some little interest at
- the gains and losses of others, he would shud
der, turn suddenly away,- and jaot return,
again for days. Nothing could be more reg
ular than his mode of lite. Iu the morning
he, took the waters; at won he walked, or
rend ; or wrote; in the evening he strolled,
out again and heard. the band, and- -by . lhe
time that all the society of the -place was
_as
sembled in the ball'room or at the tables, be,
had-returned• to his'quiet lodgings, and, • per
haps. already gone to bed, in order that he
might rise early the next morning to Istudy
some scientific work, or to take a 'pedestrian
excursion to the ruins of some old castle with
inthe limits'of a long walk. •
was a dull life for a young man-espe
cially with that sweet, sad- recollection , of
:Emtna. von ilohendorfpe.rvading every tho't;
and every moment of the'day. And alll be
cause he was poor. Was poverty a crime,
ha asked himself, that fie should be puniiihed
for it thus! He had a great mind to threw
himself off the rock where he was Standing—:
Or to throve himself into the river,-if it were
deep enough--otto go to' the Baron's ,ow n
Castle, gate, and shoot:himself—<ir—ori in
short,. to do anything desperate, if it viers
oalvv ‘ufficiently romantic ••for ids hot ydung
'German head, full of sentiment and &hiller,
could be content with nothing, less than an
imposing tragedy. - •
He thought all this, sitting in a little fanias
tic summer house, perched high-up on a_ledge.
of steep rock just in front of the gardens and
public buildings. He
.looked down at the
,gay•company tiir beneath . , and he beard the
:lint music of, the royal band. The sun was
just setting—the landscape was lovely—life

Well, it was there, but whence it came, re

shall find it all out by-and-by. In the in:an

He tried not to think of it, but it was - so
strange a thing that be could not ;prevent it
from running in his head. It even kept him
awake at nigtit, and 'took awa y his appetite,
by iday, 4rt last he began to forgetit; at all
I eventp he beearnensed to it, and at the end
I of St Week ',it had coaled to trouble him.
i About eight days from the date of its oe
currenee, he woke, itS before, thinking of gni

looking rOund, lo! there it was again. The

them out the•nig,ht before, and forgot to re

on the tatile was a second supply, larger, if
anything, than the first!
'Pale and trembling he turned them over.
This time there were' some note&- 7 Prussian
and French—Mingled with the gold—in all,
twelve thOusand florins.
He hadlocked his door--Could•it be open
ed from-without by a skeleton key.? He had
a bolt files; within that very day. Honest
Albert von Steinberg ! he took as.much pains
against fot4,une as others do against robbery !
Two days later, however, his invisible bee=
efactor came again, notwithstanding all his
precautions- and this time he found himself
fourteen thebeind, florins the richer. It was
an inexplieable Prodigy ! No one could have
entered by the bolted door, or from the win
der* for he lived in a garret on the fourth
stery,--or Eby the Ahimney, for the room was
heated V .- a stove, the funnel of which was
no thicker than his arm ! Was it a plot to

and Seward has, escaped the. ' l purgatory to
which-he was consigned, andhas:taken a new
lease at their hands of a six: years' term in
the United States Senate.
But I must come to the elitnni.' Hideous
as this picture seems to :be, the worst is not
yet told. ; The membership of the order is
not confined to free t white persons. An Irish--
man, Or a German, hoWever.virtuous, intelli
gent, and patrietie,;is,too low in the scale of
being to aspire to s ocial and political equality
with native Americans in certain piortions of
the country ; but the sable sons of Ham are
marvelously proper Allen for the enjoyment
of there 'privileges. Read the following par
agraph from the Philadelphia Ledger : -
"In I..Tew York colored persons are allowell to cote.
A Snow-Nothing lodge of colored persons was organ.'
ized at Elmira, New York;last week, being the eighth
of that cotnplexion In the State."
_ But, again, let the New Hampshire Me
pendent Democrat, the same Abolition organ
which traduced and Vilified President Pierce,_
in 1852; for being' hostile to Catholics, the
tale of infitm.Y• unfold.. it furnishei the F
fol
lowing notices in its Columns: • - '
" SLACIRT AND Porznir.-4lev. Thomas James, a

" Rev.! Thomas Jam:ll4 of-Massie,husettii, formed,'

the audience gave to the address, is the best tett'of
its ability_and of the interest It excited . James
is a - wearwr MAX, and WILL no GOOD, we make no
doubt, whenever he.has a hearing."
Sir, I will not'dwell longer on thiS - clisest
ing picture, but turn to something else., - ,
An object of this new order is said to. te,
or rather'has Lien. said to be, the destraction
of the Abolition; higher-law party. in - t to
North. A (most praisewoithy objet t;-I con
fess, had the action been suited to the .deelar
ation. Bit how stands the maitef Let the
tree be judged by itsdfinit. Southern mem
hers of the order may obstinately close their
eyes to the truth, and hug this phantom to
their bosoms, but, their brethren at the Noith
will' laugh at their; credulity, and, ridicule
their pretensians. I shall not doubt that,
in the infancy of the organization, when its
spread - in Ithe South was much desired; that
assurances wero giren -that it would make
war, ,upon Abolition.' But thenit was in the
hinds of comparatively good men
1:0 +l • now it
aeeina ave gnt6red into its Ic:igt.4 - the
worst elements of Abolitionism that curse
the •North: Then its operations were confin
ed to a more limited sphere; iiow it seeks to
control political events everywhere, and .to
give direction to public Sentiment upon, re
ligious as well as political subjects. Then it
was weak, and eonsequenily humble in its
pretensions; now it has become $. trong, and
risen to power, it lhas e grown insolent and
overbearing in its demands, vindicating the
truth' and wisdom Of Shakespeare's - words
•;
when, he said: ;
" Lowliness is young Ambition's ladder,
Whereto the eliatber
. upward turns his face;
• lint once he has attained the utmost round,
*lle then unto the ladder turns his back,:
Look into the clou4 airdscorms the base degrees
By which he did ascend." .
- It. is' now suffiantly potent tOlispene
.
with ,
its soutnernn . l . lies, and they must either
come into measures of AbolitioniSm;or he.
lopped off as excrescences.. This is not; all,
sir ; . they ,'are taunted with their . ‘ireakns,
