A, I being here up to this, but I exprct nothing name by inducing Austin to enlist in .the; goodt bis Remember Fmy devotio; from the first, declined to believe that he was drowned, and from hints which Gon salvo let drop whenever he spoke of him, she concluded that he was yet safe and far away, whither she had enjoined him to go. This was her chief support, and as often as she recurred to it in her thoughts faint dilation of liuht burned in her eyes. She resolved also to smother her griefs, and appear cheerful as he visited her. and bv this as often line of conduct, she hoped to regain her position in his confidence. A month passed away, and she became so smitten by confinement, that ber tor mentor was forced, at last, to alleviate his rigid and jail discipline. A few hours in the day was she allowed to walk in the garden under his surveillance; and many days when business detained him else where, she was denied that privilege at all. It was certain that some doom awaited her since her relentless parent kept a cold watchfulness as to her health: for he began to perceive that the rose of youth had disappeared from her cheek, and a sickly and unnatural hue settle it self around her brilliant eyes. One morning she sat silent as before, when a sound of footsteps along the gal lery interrupted her sorrow-stricken thoughts, and immediately after the key jarred in the lock and the door opened. Her father entered, and, after closing the door, took bis seat beside her. He took her hand in his; and a cold shudder ran through her frame as she felt the icy fin gers clutching her. His hand trembled, and bis face, although appearing calm and reconciled, scarcely served to hide some bitter purpose concealed in his heart. None knew better than she did when he bad an enterprise to fulfill, and none were less pliable than when the is sue lay with her. She inferred from the present expressiveness of his eyes that there was something to be accomplished through her, and she sat silent and im passive to bear-what it was. Gonsalvo quietly regarded her, and he, too, surveyed his thoughts ere he began to make his project known. Looking, with all the composure that his cunniog spirit could devise, into her face, he said hoarsely and with some embarrassment: " Camillia, or rather my Lollotha, think you that I am indifferent to your suffering? " "No. . And she, for the firBt time, looked up, and, with a severe scrutiny gazed upon his half-pitiful and designing lace. 44 No." And she withdrew her irlance. and bent downwards to avoid the dark picture which her thoughts read in his eyes. Do you think you can love me as ever, Camillia? " 44 No." 44 Why, no? This little chastisement arises from what I have and feel. To tell you the causes would be unnecessary now; but they exist, that is enough. Your at tachment to your brother Austin is natu ral and becoming, but it must not inter fere, or lead to issues which are really criminal, and present nothing in their character but false notions and biases, with which honor and bravery have no thing to do. Remember that while I counsel I warn you, and expect in return a full and explicit obedience." 44 Which I cannot give." Ad Gonsalvo noticed the blush deep ening over ber pale face, and watched her Till her heart rose full with the color of her cheek, and tears came to her eyes, lie was confounded, and he felt her hand slipping through his skeleton fin gers, as she bent her face to the pillow, and sobbed aloud. Poor Camillia few and sunshiny are the tears caused by parental displine, but thine are meted out from the hard sapless nature of a ty rant the fountain whence so much suf- f.rJrwr nnff nr!rrltv Come.

He waited a. m ntitr-g in silence, but no tear or betrayed any parental weakness, or afowed aDV susceptibility in his utony na-1 ture. Her sorrow invoked no sympathy from his cruel spirit, and he, indifferent to her anguish, calculated that be had, 'at last, wrung from ber tne come.sion that h. in some way. violated tier amy . . . her the more. pleased with her !rrentlv to a eittin' posture, and renewed g"" ' P"'. thm nnnn:m, l"'" cviuiivu . -- that his dark purpose ould invent. uia cuuuc IIJliitUT n - ... . ii lie addressed ber with a little sorrow, and affected coratuisscratioa: " There, Cammy, that will do, I am going to love you again, and only hope that you will forget the past, and conform to your duties faithfully, do you hear?

Send by the bearer Gordons? ille, Va. "COSTARDO.' lie handed her the letter as he finish ed, and watched her as she eagerly pe rused the above, and returning it bent softly to her pillow and prayed. A few moments passed and abstractedly did her mind wander away from the things of the present. He took her hand again and said : 44 You will be glad as ever. I know you will, child, and love me more for the tears I have caused you. Costardo is a brave young gentleman, and in love with you, think of that," and he smoothed her fine raven tresses as he spoke, and looked with a smile into her face. Rut she only thought of her brother, and heeded not his words; ber mind was with him, and was comforted to such a decree a to bring on a weakness which he supposed arose from the impression that she was in love with Costardo. He spoke again : 44 He is but no, that is,' Austin I mean he is coming to us again. Do you hear? And he is to be present at your marriage, and give you away don't start, I am sure you are old enough now to have a husband; and besides the man whom I have selected is immensely rich, and highly accomplished. Do you think you could be prepared in a week?" This new turn of conversation threw Camillia into utter astonishment, and in a a lew seconds she answered witn some firmness: 44 1 will not marry, father, at the pres ent, and when' I am so inclined I shall seek out my husband, and fix my -own time : then if you are willing I shall mar ry ." . " Hold, girl, be careful and consider, I have arranged .tHe matter to my liking, and you must not rebel, or thwart my purposes to tell you." His mask of villiany.was now almost laid aside.' Some wicked exchange was about to be made, and Camillia under stood at once that a price was upon ber head. With this foresight she armed herself against her barterer, and turned indignantly from his frown towards the window. He drew her again to his side with a little violence. 44 Re seated, girl, and listen to me," he said. 44 1 have considered the matter over, and you must be satisfied. On next Thursday remember, be prepared. I 6hall hear no more." And he arose and left the apartment in anger; and she sank slowly to the ground and prayed. She was prepared now, and she determined to let the week pass as she did others in her drear captivity. Suddenly the door irrated a -rain upon its hinges, and Gonsalvo entered in company with a middle aged man, habited in mili tary uniform, and a aword dangling by his side. He advanced respectively to the center of the room, and courtesied to Camillia, who, affrighted and amazed, shrank from his scrutiny, and turned away. Her father drew her to him asrain.'snd introduced the stranger as Mr. Silas Edgerton. CHAPTER IX. CAMILLIA AND IIKR VISITOR. For a time, Camillia stood still ponder Z in ber mind the end of this strange in programme, and anticipating, with nerv ous heart, the dire and infamous inten tions of her father. The stranger's pres ence indicated something heretofore un manifested, and resulted in pome measure from the plans he had already laid for her marriage: but the . fulfillment, she fully knew, could only be brought about by her own consent, and she determined to resist, with all that lay in her power, the wicked and dishonorable proposal.' She understood, thoroughly, that nothing of less importance could have induced her father to conduct the stranger to her presence, or to disc ose his zultY secret that he conGned his daughter in a cold, damp duugeon, tue deed oniy oi a iyrani or execuuuuer; iieucu ii, y- Bible for her to conjocturo that a dark treachery was about to bo accomplished ; and that there wag a motive behind wiiieu was yet moro.uorriDia aoa innuinu. With this foresight she prepared herself for the issue, fully conscious that some aid would come, and frustrate tbo ruin that inevitably awaited her. She looked with a cold frown upon ber father, as be , , , .. - r. .... i i i:. lutro'iuceu uib uarw leaiurt-u buiuici , au tbe Dall0r of death crept over her face, . - . i. . . i. i.iv ill i n n T n j 1 1 a t,i ra lu u M r i a un inms rnMfi1 in wsrmth from ber wuicu. a itn u""u"" "viuis, - j as the tears eyes. Of the destiny that awaits maidenhood, what shall we say? Where find the ora cle which presides over the beauties of the hour, and then consigns them to their betrayers under the name of tc(e ; to make them tread over the comfortless and thorny desert, where no joy shall ever call up a smile, or awake in their bosom, the song of devotion, which gladdened their youth with the fire of love. All gone the reminisences of girlhood are blotted out, when Beauty becomes a toy; and the lost scenes of life are overclouded with the deep mourning of Tllrequitted affection. This day thousands of the young and beautiful walk the streets for saken, and their cold-blooded betrayers never feel one pulse of shame, or blush to reflect, that they have embittered the lives of those who once loved them with a life-giving devotion. Camillia, with bowed head and pale, ashen face, awaited the issue of the stran ger's visit: when, after a few minutes,' her father broke the silence by saying: 44 Permit me, Camillia, to introduce this amiable gentleman, as one worthy of your highest esteem, and every way cal culated to render you happy by an hon orable alliance. I trust that, in a few days, you shall be tolerably disposed to cultivate his acquaintance, aud to profit by it, as it is my most earnest wish tfftt you should return to us again. Permit me, Mr. Edgerton, " And as he spoke drew the shrinking Camillia for ward, and placed her hand in that of his acquaintance. Cold and bony like the spectral hand of an uneasy conscience, when by mid night it arrests our slumbers, by the in tervention of dark and fearful dreams. It clutched, in eager grasp, the soft and warm hand of the young girl; and a thrill of pain ran through her body, caused by the unearthly pressure, which sometimes is given in token, or in deciding a ques tion of love: it was wierd, ghostly and painful, and Camillia, ou the slightest re laxation, withdrew hers, and turned away. 44 You see, Mr. Edgerton," he contin ued, u that despite her attractions she is bashful, a fault not altogether unbecom ing; but tbatventually will disappear when she knows your amiable qualities." "Mr. Edgerton nodded, and he went on in the same strain: 44 Sanguine, too, Mr. Edgerton natu rally so. Upon my honor, there is no characteristic peculiar to young ladies, as this is so ornamental, magnaminous and grand; were I to be married again, 'tis another such I should seek confid- ing, beautiful, and " Mr. Edgerton laughed lightly. 44 Camillia turned to her father and said : 44 Father, if I am to suffer, let it be in si lence. I pray you depart, and leave me to the darkness and. solitude which you have forced me to submit to. If you are so wilfully blind to your own honor as to permit others to witness your "system of cruelty, speak on, and let the guilt be upon you. 1 loathe and detest the mo tives which moved you to this strait, and tell you that the fulfillment of your base intentions will be resisted with my; life. Depart, and summon the mercenary horde whom you fatten upon, to visit tbe whereabouts of your daughter, and tell them that their zeal for the country can be purchased by her shame. I tell you go, and order your slave-dealing soldiery to come hither go ! " And she waived her hand wildly in the direction of the door,iier dark eyes gleam ing fioni their sockets, and her long tresses dishevelled aud streamingdown her shoulders. There was a reaction in her quiet, summinsive nature which appalled her guilty father, and convinced the as tonished soldier that she was any thing but an easy prey. Roth were smitten by her determinate outbreak of anger, and recoiled backwards as she advanced to tbe door. Gonsalvo was tbe first to recover. He, fully posted in exciting scenes, such as result from war or crime soon interposed, and forced her back from the entrance by a slight exertion. Tears rolled from her eyes, and she sank, with fatigue, upon the bedsido. The stranger turned pale as he contem plated the scene, and was about to de part, but at that moment she arose from ber knees and detained him. 44 You serve in battles," she said, hoarsely, 44 I know you do. Well, when you encounter my brother Austin spare him, will you uot? He is youug, gentle and pure. I feel his warm kisses yet Oh I how good and loving he was all love, and we used to 6ail by moonlight to gether, and ramble in search of wild flow ers to make me a garland, and when I put it in my hair he would smile aud whisper, 4 Cammy, I love you,' aud then he would kiss me, and press my baud fondly to bis bosom aud kiss me agaiu. Will you know him? He is beautiful and comely eyes like father, mouth, chin, and brovrj but father says, he U none of his.' " And 6he looked into his face. Memo ry now only remained with Camillia. .... . .Y ... . i . i T! vita rM which breathe Willi me spirit in the common being of mankind. were now almost oxtiuctiu her existence ; and nothing but the past with its tears and tjuushiue was visible. The landscape of life was now blotied out iu its own re alizing futurity. All was retrospective and dim in the tumult of the irrevocable past. Gonsalvo made a movement to depart, but she interposed and coutinucd: j Read Coas'a Utter to mo fa- ther, every word. To-night I will sail upon the lake, and sing to him, for he loves me. To night I will make my re quiem to the 44 lovers " when they rise from the dark grave of the wafers, and renew their troth plight; I will remem ber their end, and their tears, as they embraced, standing upon the shore-when the destroyer met them. For they loved in their death, and rejoiced as the waters covered over." And she snnjr 44 And the moonlight shall smile o'er the wave, When we wander the lone rocky shore; And the wavelet sing as it washes the grave, Whence the lovers '.return no more Yes, the moonbeam Ehall hallow the shrine where we meet, And the night bird her melody pour." Poor Camillia. She sang low and mel ancholy the traditional song of the 4tPhan tom Lovers," and her tones wer of sor rowful melody, as they stole along the deep gallery, and echoed back in thrilling responces. The moonbeam or the night wind were to heralike ; and the destiuy that darkened round her thoughts foreboded nothing but the dim sunshine which makes insanity the romance of the deso late. Her father looked upon the soft, pale face, and shuddered ; and the awe stricken soldier who came to woo and to win, as the reward of bis own blood-guiltiness, felt his heart beat quicker, as she gazed steadfastly into his dark face;' a wierd and supernatural fire burning with brilliancy in her eyes. And no tear now came to ease her full heart it must break under suffering and wrong, or over flow in the deep solitude of joy, which could only be administered by the pres ence of Austin. Gonsalvo and bis acquaintance were troubled, aud they looked, by turns, at .Camillia. and then at one another. Strange that innocence, in its most help less condition, can appall the cunning of crime, and triumph in its own integrity when menaced by suffering and wrong. The evil doers passed, or slunk from the apartment with confounded spirits; and as the heavy key grated hoarsely in the lock, a low sob, full of distress and aSonJi was heard from within. To be continued in cur next.") Omaha, though but a village of yester day, is already a city of 1G,UU0 inhabit ants, by whom 1,500 dwellings and stores were erected withiu a a year. It has three large hotels, one of which is kept by Coz zens. late of West Point, and constantly overflowing with guests. The sales of one grocer, last year, amounted to a mil lion and a half.

The town already contains two or three thousand 44cut-throats," three or four ho tels, 44the best restaurant west of Chicago," a theatre, and any quantity of gin mills.'' Greeley on Debt Horace Greeley preaches a very good ser mon to young men in a recent under of The Ledger, concerning the evils of run ning in debt. Tbo whole article is ex ccedingly interesting ; but tbe following paragraph will bear to be read often : 44llunger, cold, rags, hard work, con tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, are dis agreeable ; but debt is infinitely worse than them all. And if it pleased God to spare either or all of my sons to be the support and solace of my declining years, the lesson which I should have most ear nestly sought to impress upon them is 44Never run into debt ! Avoid peuniary obligation as you would pestilence and fa tuiue. If you have but fifty cents, and can get no rnoro for a week buy a peck of corn, parch it and live on it, rather than owe any man a dollar !" . - The Cat Trade. The New York oorrespoudent of the Rochester Democrat, in speaking' of the cat trade of the metropolis says : 4,Cat skins aro now used extensively for muffs and for sleigh robes, and heuee a heavy slaughter is done on these ani mals ; but the highest value of the cat is found in domestic life. A first-rat mous er is worth twenty five dollars. There are now several persons dealing in cats, which are in great demand, and ship ments arc made Iroin the country.

The California Teacher, a monthly ed ucational journal, contains the following remarks on popular education : Of all the humbugs of our shame rid den race, that of a finished educatioi at a boarding-school is the greatest. And of all the ludicrous objects next to a dandj pedant fresh from college, a young lady there are no girls sent home accord ing to order, is the most -supremely ridi culous. Is the training of such schools calculated to give mental vigor and inde pendence of thought ? How many of the girls who study French and Spanish ever acquire more than a mere smattering? Nine out of ten never made halfway through Olendorf's First Lessons. If a young girl is to have the advantage of a liberal education and expects to pursue a regular course of study, let ber study the languages ; but if she can attend school only a limited period of time, is morc than useless. A girl, too, must be fitted with an educrtion as the milliner fits her with a. dre.s. Education is a growtji a devel opment. It does not consist in a long array of studies, in 44 gmg over" so many pages in botany, astronomy, and dear, delightful French." True, many parents ' judge of the progress of their daughters-, only in this way. No wonder they have become dissatisfied with the plain schools of less pretensions. Mental growth and strength of mind cannot be measured by the volume. Young girls who are on the point of fin ishing your education, exercise your com mon sense. Which would you prefer, to be able to write a correct and elegant let ter in English to your future husband, or to favor him with an exquisite little French billetdoux ? Would you have the power of educating your children in com mon things, or would you prefer to teach them paiutiug ? Do you imagine thai your "'finished education" will be of much service to you in real life ? If you think to dazzle young men with boarding school accomplishments, most certainly you are laboring under an egre gious error Think you that a man with his eyes wide open will mistake a pea cock for a nightengale ? You may be flat tered by. the butterflies of society, but those whose esteem and love you would really wish to win, will never be deceived, by tbe flimsy veil of accomplishments. Girls, be sensible. Don't imagine that you can be turned out finished out schol ars at the advanced age even of 15 or 16. If you wish to be women, acquire the. education of a woman. If you wish to. become belles and butterflies, make use of the quack nostroums of education, which are paraded rightly in the same column with patent medicines. Don't think of finishing your education before pou begin it. A Good Take oft Some of our religious and other papers obtain subscribers on the gift enterprise system, offering sewing machines, &c.
