CHAPTER I.
.« Robert, I wish to sec you in my libra
ry, as soon as your breakfast is concluded,
as I desire to communicate to you some Very
important intelligence.”, r . , •
These words were spoken by BeClair to
his son, one morning as he rose from the ta-
hle, preparatory to leaving the room.
«Yes, sir, I |bnll attefed,” replied the
young mah, wondering what- in the world
his father bad to communicate.
Mr DeClair was a wealthy merchant of
about fifty reriding in one of our eastern cit
ies, a man of well known integrity who, by-
own individual exertion, unaided byr friends
or gold, had raised himself to the eminence
which he now occupied. He possessed be
nevolence and intelligence, yet it was com
bined with a firm and nnyielding disposi
tion. Robert, his only child, was in his
twenty-second year, of a handsome figure
and polished manners, and bearing ah ex
emplary character'.
After making the above request, Mr. De-
Clair retired to his room, where, boob after,
he was joined fils Son’. Taking a seathy
the side of his father, who at the moment of
bis entrance, was engaged in perusing the
morning paper, he awaited Ills pleasure. In
a few nirautc8 ihe old gentleman laid aside
the paper, and turning towards his son he

an hour or day, but one which concern*
your wfcol* life, ami one which I hope you

Said the son, noticing that ta father paused.

and if possible will do so now.”

old man wannly, « and I trust that yon will
find the present business so agreeable, as to
see atone* the propriety of acceding to my
proposals, as well as to promote your own
happiness. But to bring things at once to
a point, the subject upon ^ which. I wish to
speak is matrimony.”

CHAPTER n.
Within an hour after the above conversa
tion had taken place, Robert ?)eClair was in
close commnnieaiion with his betrothed, and
in tones of sorrow, detailed to her‘the whole
of that morning’s events.,
«• How strange,” she replied—and tears
could be seen leaving their traces upon her
cheeks—c^liow strange; why father spoke
to me this very morning upon the same sub-
joct. Not all my entreaties; not all my sup
plications could serve to waver for a moment
his unchangeable resolution; and when I
i told him my heart was given to anotber r he
said that ill married against his will, he
would disown me and cast me from his door.
He has pledged my hand, and nothing ca^
alter his resolve; but dear Robert, rest as
sured that nothing ean change mine.”.
« Who is this- man to whom he has pledg
ed you i” asked Robert.
A Even that 1 know not, he only informed
me that he was the son of an old and Weal
thy friend. And now what course sh^Jl wy
paVs'ie ? My father persists in tuy union
with the man of his choice, and you k&oW
bis will is unwavering.”
Clasping her in his arms, and kissing a-
way her tears, her lover said—
•i Come what will, they shall not part us.
Mary, there is but one path left to follow,
aiid that is to fiy from such tyranny, .and
render ourselves happy by giving me the
power to protect-you—as your husband they
willnot dare to dispute that right, aod as
my wife you shall be secure.”
« With some reluctance, I undertake the
task, but anything, dear Robert, which you
think is for‘the best, I concur in.”
“ Yes, sweetest, we must'and will do it,
the step must be tajich, and with as little
delay as possible, for if we de&ir it, some
obstacle may arise and render our plans im
practicable.” The plan was arranged ; at
twelve ffclock that eight he was to he in
waiting for her, at a short'distance from
her father's house, with a carriage, which
was to convey them to the landing about a
mile off, where, they would take the first
boat, for New York, find there be united.
Let tis now follow Mr. BeClair, Wbo after
leaving the room repaired to his coutitibg
house in no very pleasant mood. Hia.
thoughts were not with his business, and
he departed to seek the presence of Mr.
Barling to whose' daughter he had pledged
.the hafid of hi* son.
