WHITE ROSES.
They, were gathered for a bridal!
I knew it by their hue: .
Fair 39 the summer moonlight.
Upon tho sleeping dew. - '•
From their fair aud fairy sisters - »
They were born without a sigh,
For one remembered .evening
To blossom and to die, \
They were gathered for a bridal!
And fastened in a wreath,
But purer were the roses
Than the heart that lay beneath}
Yet the beaming eye wa» lovely,
And the coral lip was fair,
And the gazer looked and asked not
For the scarlet hidden there.
They Were gathered fur a bridal!
W here a thousand torches glistened.
When the holy words were.spokcn,
. And the false and faithless listened
Aud answered to the^vow.
Which another heart had taken.
Yet be was present then— *■
The orlce ioved.thc forsaken.
They were gathered for a bridal!
And now, now they are dyidg,
And j-oung lovs at tb'e altar
Of brokcu faith ix sighing.
Their summer life was stainless,
And not like bar's whoworcthein; ■
They are faded, and the farewell
Of beauty liugcr’s o'er them!
balx in the strictest sense of tbe word. Though
almost without fire-arms, nud encompassed* it
may be said, by entmica who could ruuater ten
warriors to their one, yot they, without material
diminution, continued ou the const: for in their
hands, the bow was a powerful weapon driving
nh arrow through tbe huge frame of the buffalo;
and when worsted in batUe, they were soon be-
ond danger, by uking in their eanaea to the wa-
er. Defeat however was not ofteh their lot.
Naturally brave, they preferred close tombst* in
which tire facility With which arrows ale discharg
ed gave them the advautage over guns—as Gen
eral I.ung experienced on Galveston, in 1821.
While dancing by torch-light, they were furiously
charged by him,’ and for a moment dispersed;
hut seizing their bows, they returned to the charge,
and vigorously drove him, With considerable loss,
to his boats, in which ho precipitately lied.
With such a race, intercourse mav be thought
impracticable; but commerce, fruitful in expedi
ents, had effected a precarious one, by means of
ho.tc.grs; and, in that character, Wallace had the.
honor, if such it rnny bo called, of being the first
white that oyer survived a visit to them. In the
same capacity he was afterwards several timfl*
amongst them and noticed much Of thoir custom,
and acquired considerable of their language!
Hi< l.,st visit was in October, 1822. at tbe
mouth of the Rio Uedro. He and two seamen
went on shore to remain with the band until the
n-turn of six of their principal men, who were on
hoard trading. The vessel, with the chiefs, was
blown off; and not reappearing on the third day,
the whites, notwithstanding their explanation,
were about being put to death, when the daughter
of one of the absentees, perhaps fearing the out
rage might be fatal to her father, interfered, and
obtained a rcsj fie. Next day, the vessel return
ed to her anchorage, and iho cannibal chiefs,
through the negligence of the mate, permitted to
land, boforo the restoration of the hostages. Se
cure from retribution, the leaders resolved on eat
ing the whites, who were immediately bound.
Having liquor, ;t drunken frolic was hoaever
deemed a proper prelude to the butchery; and
before tho sun went down every warrior lay in-
seusiblo on the ground. Tbe girl now suddenly
and secretly unbound the prisoners, who highly
exasperated at the cruelty aud treachery mani
fested towards them, hastily destroyed the maga
zine of quivers, cxcegt what they reserved for
present use, and transfixed the faithless chiefs as
they lay. As Wall rice pierced the last, a I
clasped the corpse,gazed on the quivering lips and
darkening eyes, and moaned as tf tier heart were
breaking. It was his deliverer, and hot till then
was lie conscious that her father had fallen by
his hands. Hail he recollected the connexion,
nothing could have Induced him tt> ibe deed—not
that the chief wot inuocent, but that be was the
father of the generous giri that had rescued him
from death—But it could not he undone. Wal
lace, in an under tone of tenderness and sorrow,
spoke to her a few words in.her own language,
hut she teemed unconscious of what he said.
Rucking and moaning as if in the idiocy of
thought, the ajtcndcd to bought but childish ef
forts to stanch the leak of life. Wallace gently
raised her bloody hand to his lips, and kissad it;
and then as if stricken with remorse and madness.

TOR THE MACO.N TELEORArill
■ ANDREW WALLACE.
In April, 1823, tbe vernal equinox on the coast
of Texas was attended by a funrful gale fro)n the
south. The schooner Lawrence, from New Or
leans, with provisious, goods, and emigrants fur
(he Brassos, encountered if ip tho l.obgitudo of tin;
Sabino; but, manned by a choice crew and an
experienced pilot, shelter in the inlets was scorned;
and under close reefs, she kept hrivclv on her
way, until nbreast the western end of Galveston.
It wag night and tho storm'at the highest.- No
thing could lie heard but the growling of tiie
thunder mingling with the screaming «f the wind
—nor could ought bo seen, except uarkiless above,
nnd a level stream df lire beneath, unless when
the transient lightning revealed a surface of fdsm
kept frotn rising into waves by the fury of the
wind, and a distant glimpse qf tbe bunch and
breaker* of the sandy island, Ndt a shred of
canvass remained on spar or stay—the bow turd
tid to the wind, and the stern went with incredible
velocity towards the shore. Doth anchors wort
let go—in hopes, that, hy dragging, iht would
strike with less violence l hut the cables sna
like stubble. The next iltstant, she crashed,
into pieces, and gave her burthen to the waves. Of
thirty-nine souls, ail perished save one,—tbo pilot,
h. man of herculean strength and prepossessing
appearance, who, H she parted, luckily grasped
a niattres., and, with it borne on the top of a
surge, was dashed, unharmed, on thcr seaward
side of the ridge which divides the islet. ■!
After a fruitless search for survivors, he found
on the northern side, shelter from the wind and
spray, lie pondered his situation. With tire
island and heigbbooring coast bo was familiar
In ordinary timcii the western pas* being at
lower water nearly dry, except about a hundred
yards, no obstacle was there to his crossing, and
the snore at the eastern pass abounded with ma
terials to coDitrOct s r ift, on which, with the flood
tide, a passage to cither bank of the Trinity was
not hazardous; but while the storm lusted, any
attempt to reach the continual wa* impracticable.
It is true, that where he was, nothing from famine
or thirst wu t« be apprehended, the beach, he
knew, being atrownwith beef and pork, and fresh
water obtainable by digging a short depth in tho
sand; but who could tell what characters might
then be on the island ? It was frequently the re
sort of Lafitto’s buennier*. who having in New
Orleans learnt his character, were anxious to pro
cure his services, nnd if once in their power w ould
not roadili part wiih him. In the British ntvy,
ho had often successfully led tire boarders, and
more than once been complimented for bis gal
lantry in storming French batteries on the coast
of ri’plio. Hy him life wa. lightly valued. It
wa. not therefore the penalty attached by tho code
of nation, to piracy tb it be dreaded; but the dis
grace and guilt. lie wa* n prond Celt; and soon
er would have beeu buried a thousand feet be
neath Bed Nevi., than have it, in his native Mov-
ven, said, that Andrew Wallace had, iu compan
ionship with pirates, trodden tho deck of s rover.
Criminal as were these ontlaws, Galveston was.
at times, visited by a people yerniore abhorrent—
the Knr.iDquH lodiau., in inturc rivalling the
rutagonixM, and in cruelty surpassing rheir Carih
ancestor.. Whiwtf a fixed home, they prowled
along the cent, deriving their clothing from
wrecks, snd their food from tho forest and (be
Rood. Between them and the othi-r Indians, a
constant war of extermination existed; and wo
to the man, whether v.h.te or red, t'uat fell into
their power, by forte, stratagem or sires* nf wok-
tber—is* nrne slain sad aaud—<h«y woes*taxi-

his way to the beach, leaped Into a canoe, and in
safety reached the vessel, oi- board of which bis
fellow captive, had been upwards Of an hour.
It fe not therefore strange, that now, defenceless
;is he wit!, he dreaded a meeting with tho Karan-
quas, to whetn iu general he w.i« known. To
tiny other while inau such an encounter would be
death; but to him, death with the worst of tor
tures.
He had not long calculated tbe cbstreet of
danger, before in the east gleamed a light as
baleful ns the cvcrpo santo. That it proceeded
frmn pirates rapid not be imagined, as the force
of rhe wind rendered the presence on board of
every seaman; atlrl the face of any other white
man on tile Island at this seasou would be a pile
nonienou. Neither could it come from a camp
of any Indians from tho interior, as they hold the
sea iu abomihatlon. It roust be fire of some band
of KaraUtpras; and what course was he Mow to
fallow? swimming across could not bo thought
of. The island Was destitute of trees, except I
few ltvcoaks affording neither shelter nor shade,
The gross bad recehtly been burnt so bare os to
leave not a hiding place for a rabbit. So soon A*
twokc, no must, if on the itl
morning aw e

Cue expedient only remained, and it was despe
rate—to seize a Karanqua canoe, rthd trust to
the mercy of tile winds ami waves for reaching
the continent. The fire iris in front of the camp,
and the water covering the lour crouud the ea-
>cd rn.es were moored a few pares IB front af tbe
fire- Rapidly advancing aioi.g the lee aide of
the ridge, and several tunes narrowly escaping
the mtutitude of rattlesnahe* sheltering oa’it. be
reached the cakocs. Before he coaid embark, a
savage, busied jn hauling them to land s* the wa*
ter rosi', saw hiiu, gave a shout, sod darling for
Ward, grasped hinf; but the next moment splasl
ed in tbe tide, a blinding corps, stopped to the
bosom, A slight push set a boat afloat t hut era
he could enter, two powerful arms enclosed bins.
A single, blow released him. Baiting a thigh and
shoulder, he poised tbe assailant in the air, and
threw him athwart the line of boats with as much
ease «* he would lencb a harpoon at a dolphin.

bing breast of his grey-haired mother. They im
plored him to remain, to ramble no more, sod
gladly would he, have broken the staff of his pil
grimage ; but an irresittiblo impulse constrained
hitn to depart. He returned towards the health,
accompanied by kinsfolk, Niel Campbell endea
voring to dispel the sadnes* bf the party, by play
ing the simple but spirit-stirring airs of the west
ern Highlands; but on reaching the strand, Nicl
Unconsciously struck the heart-rending strain of
-. " Cha till nta tullle."
It vras received as a gloomy Omen, the piper be*
ing reputed us the last of the seers. ••He goes to
return no more/" exclaimed tbe mother. “AArise
spirit, Niel, is upon thee. Return he will. Trust
in the God of Israel, my son, and thou tsilt re
turn."—"I tcill return, dearest mother,” replied
Wallace, and attempted to spring into tbe boat;
but the reaction of his cords bringing him back
forcibly to the ground, convinced him it was a
dream, and Itimself a prisoner devoted tc death.
Day had dawned—the Hsranquas were busily
wrecking on the beach; but Atshab, with css ,
cheek painted red, the other black, embttjnMic
of revenge and sorrow, stood as sentinel over him,
On his awaking, “Hah! (she sareastily said,)
Wallace would flee. Is be fleeter than this?''
drawing the feather of ad arrow to her ear,
"But the cords are tbo strong; and wer* they not,
no boat could live iu that sea”—raising tho end of
the tent-elolii, and showing him Trinity Bay still
white with foiim and covered with breakers,
"You see, (she added,) had you last night eue- •’
ceedrtl iu getting a boat, you must have perished.'*
“Yes," ho answered; “but it were better to drawn
than die tbe captive of a Karanqua. The sharks
show more mercy to their victims—they do not
torture."—'"In that respect (she observed) out
customs are severe. From the toes nod fingers

prickly pear the body is next stuck folk—before •

until life is nearly gone—with a blunt shell tbe
