CHAPTER XIX.
THE INTERVIEW.
With no other hope bat that of prayer,
Camillia prepared herself for an inter
view with the guilty and designing Edg
erton; and with burning eyes and over
flowing heart, she sat in melancholy si
lence, awaiting his arrival. She pored
over the letter which her father believed
was written, and forwarded to Austin by
herself; but she knew that some other
agency was at work, and had transmitted
it without date or signature, to cover some
intentional wrong. For a moment she re
flected, that probably her father had de
signed the whole plot, and as a proof of
her brother's death delivered it to her.
The tress of black hair, she knew to be
shorn from her own ringlets, and the
flowers were the last which Austin had
gathered lor her in their wild and scent
less bloom, only a few hoars before his
encounter with him in the garden. She
knew no more; but that Austin had trea
sured the braid from her locks she was
certain.
Her heart beat with unusual throb at
every sound that reached her attentive
ear, and she expected every moment that
her tormenter would come. At length
ber fears were realized, as footsteps
sounded outside, and Edgcrton, hat in
hand, entered the chamber. Ho bowed
stillly as ho approached; but she averted
her eyea, aqd teemed wrapped up in her
own reflections, . Ho helped himself to a
seat by the window, and remained silent
fur some minutes then addressed her:
" Your father, dear lady, has placed
me before you again, and informed .ma
that you were not repugnant to see me: J
. ? t; .'
doc 88 my mission uemg qi important;, tt
could only be fulfilled by myself; and j
therefore you will pardon my intrusion,
and loot upon it as a too zealous inten
tion to please you. I bring you the last
words of your brother, Lieutenant Ca-
meon!"
'Austin?" And her tones were
hoarse and chokmtr. vet she turned not
her eyes upon him.
" Yes, lady, he lell in a skirmish with
our troops, and I attended him in his last
moments. He passed away like an in
fant in its mother's arms, aud more than
once he murmured your name, and prayed
that he might live long enough to see
you, or find some friend to bring you his
dying words."
" What were they? "
" That he loved you, and would have
made you his wife that you were more
to him than a sister.'4
44 More." He spake the word in a low
significant tone, and with au air of mys
tery. He continued:
14 He would have you to remember him
kindly, but that his memory should not
lessen your convivial affection towards
the husband who should be chosen for
you by jour father he told you to re
spect his judgment in all things.
She turned and confronted him with
a cold stare her face whitened to a
snowy pallor, and the blood stood still in
her veiu3. She regarded him with dis
dain, and then spoke in toaes bitter and
emphatic:
44 Mr. Edgerton, if I make my bed on
cold iron I must lay upon it, but while I
am free to choose, my will shall decide
for myself. Father is to choose me a
husband never! Provided his choice
is a bad one, shall he have to bear all the
suffering, anxiety, and sorrow, that must
naturally devolve upon me shall he, or
would he have to suffer for the impu
deuce, and depravity of a drunkard?
Would he have to pine in want, if he
shouldsclect as my husband a spendthrift,
or a gamester? Shall he have to weep
when I suffer wrong, contempt, or shame?
No, none but myself and since it is
so, I shall choose my own husband defi
ant of his authority his authority ends
with my marriage, and the last dictates of
a tyrant I will never submit to it! "
Edgerton was .taken aback. He en
tered upon a subject that checked at
once all the prc-conceived ideas of mar
riage which he indulged in, and thwarted,
him when he seemed most likely of suc
cess. Jie remained dumb lor a moment.
u Pardon mc, dear lady," he resumed,
" I am sorry to have spoken so, since your
trouble is so great. I only, as a friend,
bring you the consolation of the dying.
He impressed the subject upon me, and
extorted a promise that I should deliver
it: suggesting that I should make some
rational observations on the necessity and
obligation of children obeying their par
ents. Moreover, sinco it is likely that
you will not set aside the wisdom of your
father, he detailed me to state that
forth he will be docile, and keep at heart
every thing that tends to your happiness
and advancement; besides exacting a free
obedience, and confiding behavior in you.
Thus far I have spoken to your father."
Rut she heeded him not. The blush
of indignation had not yet paled on her
fair cheek, and the light of love dimmed
in the soft lustre of her eyes. Her
thoughts were far away. Ry the sand
swamp by the rude outlets of the
mountain waters, as they emitted the
spray-boiling torrents down the rocky
precipices, and tumbled them in roaring
cascades into the dark bosom of the Rapi
dan then upon the lake, the 44 Lovers' "
homestead cradled on the plateau of
of Ellmount, and shaded from the sum
mer beam by the thick mantled foliage of
a hundred branches. She beard not the
smooth outflow of falsehood from the vile
betrayer, until he interrupted her reflec
tions by saying:
" It is exactly the same, Miss Cameon,
as when a dying friend requests some
fervid duty on the part of the person he
loves; and the closer they are allied by
affection or kindred, the more earnest is
the request, and the more binding the
promise. We all are naturally frail, but
more so when trouble or pecuniary cir
cumstances occur, which arc the portion
able -awards of position, made of life, or
other necessary things, operating around
and within us. If your lamented brother
should have spoken but feebly of some
thing that required privation or self-denial,
you would probably to joyful in ful
filling it, but he has been more conside
rate, and only desired that you should
remember your duty, and obey your fa
ther in that which ho deemed he had
most experience one's settlement in
life."
Still on the same harping subject.
She avowed some scorn by the cold men
acing look which she cast upon him. lis
nerved himself for the conflict, and she
rejoined somewhat laconically:-
44 Sir, you mock me. Are marriage
and mourniog identical? Who shall I
weep for who shall I wed?"
Aud she gazed upon him as she waited
for some reply; but ho was a little stun
ned by her decisivo manner, and he hesi
tated. Presently she resumed :
44 1 would weep for him I lovo I
would wed him. I have but one heart,
one affection, and ono being. These I
may not dispense with, even at a father's
bidding. 11c docs not suffer when my
heart, is broken he does not mourn
over my ill-requittcd affectiou he docs
not fear death, when I am prostrated by
sickness. Shall I then take upon me all
these evils to satisfy the momentry am-
bition, or the caprice of a father, and on
the very performance ci th9 act, to Lc
free from either his love, or his hatred
to be the property of another, whero
even his most paternal kindness could not
reach me? Who is so insane as to do
this? Yet he intends to give me away,
as he would his purse to the beggar
frail! frail father!"
And a tear only -one stood in ber
eye, and for .a moment dimmed the con
centrated gaic she sighed in pain
What sort of sorrow is that which is giv
en us by the form we love? Have you
ever experienced it, lady reader? What
is life, affection, wedlock, or the round
about possibilities that travese our path
from the cradle to the grave? If you
have ever wept you cannot forget it, there
is life-blood in the tiny dewdrop, and it
exhales the sorrow from the heart, and
darkness from the brow -there is en
joyment also in weeping :asoit over
flow of the spirit, as it rises in kindling
devotion over the sordid and gloomy re
trospect of what we have feft and known;
and the emotion, however trivial, bears a
memory in its burden, and transmits the
impulse from one teardrop to another.
Sorrow that is given us by the hand of
parent, friend, or lover, is the most in
tense; and although our tears flow taster,
there is joy in their outflow we weep
for another no sin of our own caused
it. -
Edgerton, with cold politeness, resum
ed: 44 Miss Cameon, the authority of par
ents is sacred, inasmuch as it involves the
happiness of their children. No parent
could exhibit the cold hearted nature of
which you speak. If your father pro
pose; that you should marry, it devolves
upon you to respect his wisdom, and ac
quiesce in his selection with humanity.
It is his intention that you should receive
mc as your future husband, and I kneel'
at your feet in token of admiration and
respect. Should you refuse, I may be
wretched all my life; and your father
brought with grey hairs in sorrow to the
grave. Reautifnl lady, consider! all my
labors shall tend to make you the happi

honor, and fame! In mercy consider I'

was in pain, anger and surprise. It had
occurred to her that this protestation was
the result of his mission, and conceiving
that her heart was fully susceptible of
feeling now, he had opened his intention,
before he was aware. He continued :
44 Look upon me, gracious lady, and re
member your lamented brother, I closed
his eyes in death as he delivered me his
message, and intimated that I should pro
tect you. I plead with his last words up
on earth, and worship the angelic sweet

yours one continuous enjoyment.

and I shall depart the happiest of men?
She turned upon hiui a cold, scornful
look, g Too full of modest resentment to
answer, she permitted Edgerton to kneel,
and with as much composure as she could
assume, quietly resumed her reclining
posture. He importuned her:
44 Lovely lady, one word of hope is suf
ficient. Pardon my importunity, but my
heart urges the desires I have conceived
to make you happy to make you my
wife."
" Wife!" . .
And a visible contempt was in her
eyes her mouth twitched with agitated
suffering.'

repeated. 44 It is your brother's wish."
44 Sir! I pray you withdraw," she ex
claimed; tl if a plea such as you declare
were honorable, it is not from your coun
try's service you should flee to tell it.
You have never seen Mr. Cameon, you
have never aided your country by taking
arms to defend what it calls its own.
Your pursuit is not everywhere honest,
your presence not agreeable. You come
witfi a narrative invented by yourself,
and false, as it is calculated to deceive.
Your pretentions I disregard, and only
tell you beforehand, that however subtle
and deceitful you may come, God will
give me wisdom to unmask your villainy,
and frustrate the designs of your abettor.

shall force you from the house, and debar
