CHAPTER ".

When day dawned upon the following
morning, it found the little party of Cap
tain Walker in sight of the village of Pc
rote. from whence the daughter and son
of Pri1hards had been taken. By his
side rode his fair cousin, while her broth
er in his wild delight at his release from
the Mexicans. rode close by the side of
Oceola, and overwhelmed him with the
warmest expressions of gratitude. to
which the Indian listened with evident
dissatisfaction. Andrews rode carelessly
along, buried in his own thoughts, among
which were mingled the bright image Of
the beautiful Marie, and her kind and
gentle conduct towards himself.
''Strange that did not learn the name
of her family" he muttered to himself; !;
&c but the gallant Walker must know her
and if 1 name her uncle to him, he can
satisfy my curiosity with regard to the
lovely stranger" And he rode briskly
forward.
{" Good Morning. Mr.. Andrews" said
the leader with a bright smile, as the
young man drew up by his side. At the
mention otthat name, the lady threw back
her veil and turned towards him. -
Heavens, 1t is Marie - he said. as he
took the hand she FRANKLY extended to
him"
"And in the person of Robert Andrews.
recognize my former acquaintance Mr.,
Bradford. my heroic deliyerer," she said
while smile of love and gratitude beam
ed upon her face. But here l am at
home once more, and see there is my dear,
kind uncle and aunt running to meet me
but where is that noble Indian cousin,
whom you say was the first to volunteer

enemy from her borders, and peace had
spread her silken wings over. the land ;
when one bright Sabbath morning in the
mellow autumn of the year a bridal par
ty were seen to leave the inn of Perote,
and enter the ivied door of the old church.
The bridegroom was Robert Andrews,
and upon his arm,- like a lovely snow
drop, hung the beautiful Marie Prichards.
A merry train of villagers followed the
happy pair, among whom was the light
hearted Henry-the gallant Walker and
the graceful Oceola. When the cere-
mony was over, George Andrews took the
hand of the blushing bride. and imprint
ing kiss upon her snowy brow, he said:
s'Oceola welcomes the sister of his love
into his family, and thanks the Great Spi-
rit, who made him the happy instrument
in saving her from the unprincIpled Mexi-
cans who would have destroyed her; and
he hopes that in the person of her white
brother she will still recognize her Indian
preseryer. A-
"Dear George, we viii ever love you
with more than fraternal tenderness" 7"
said Robert, while tear flashed for a
moment in his eye. But why will you
still use your indian name, and thereby
bring back remembrances that should be
forgotten. Strive to forget your old as
sociations my brother. and the great pri-
vations you have endured, and think on
ly of your present happiness and the
bright future that lies before YOU"
"Nay, my brother. this should not be.
The Almighty in his wisdom sent me into
far off land. that like Joseph of old. l
should be the savior of my brother. In
that land 1 was taught to practice all the
wiley modes ofindian warfare, which has
been of SO much importance to your vel
fare and the liberty of Texas, and SO far
from wishing to forget, bless the les
sons that God has taught me, and will
ever look upon the past with pride and
satisfaction

The Heir Apparent ofthe British
Throne.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania. in an
article on this subject, rays
"It.is fact notorious as daylight, that
the heir apparent TO the British throne is
sadly deficient in his mental Development
in other words, that there is something
wanting in the upper story, that there are
upper apartments TO let, unfinished and
unfurnished. Yet, be he biockhead, knaye
or fool, if his life is spared, 5be must be
King of Great Britain, the head Of the
church, the defender of faith. Such is
the law"
Such a fact is beautiful commentary
upon the wisdom of the principle of he
reditary succession in Government. We
think ithighly probable that the statement
of the Pennsylvania iscorrect, as none Of
the Hanoverian dynasty were ever consid-
cred as oyerstocked with. brains. and the
third George, the grandfather of the pre-
sent Queen, was idiotic during the greater
portion of his life. and the Government
was carried on in the name Of his eldest
son as Prince Regent. The law forbid
ding the King or Queen OF the Realm to
marry with a subject, or any Of the catho-
lie dynasties of Europe. restricts their
choice to few families, and the conse-
quence has been that. within the lasteen-
tury the rulers of Great Britain have fire.
qbently intermarried with blood relations,
and insanity in their progeny has been the
result. II is well known that Victoria and
Prince Albert, :he parents Of this child
are cousins, and We believe in the FIRST de

Heroism aud Cruelty.

A most touching instance of herolsm'
and one of the most atrOcIous acts OF par
barity, the truth of which IS vouched tor
by the most respectable authority, occur
red during the Columbian struggle for
Independence. The Spanish Governor,
MorilIo, the most blood-thlrsty and
treacherous tool of the Spanish King, was
created Count of Carthagenia. and Mar
ouis de l., Pucria, for service which rath-
er entitled him to distinction as butcher
or hanrman. While seated in his tent one
day during the campaign OF Caracas,
he SAM a boy before him drowned III tears.
The Chief demanded of him lur-what pur-
pose he was there.
The child replied that he had come to
b..,, the lite, of his father, then n prisoner
in GGorillo'S camp.
What can YOU do 10 save your father!
asked the General.
Il can do but little, but what can shall
be done
Morillo seized the little fellows ear,
and said, WOULD you suffer your ear
to be taken Of to procure yoar fathers
liberty
{" / certainly would was the undaunt-
ed reply.
A soldier WAS accordingly called and
ordered TO cu. off the ear with single
stroke of the knife.
The boy wept, but did nos resist while
the b;,rbarous otlcr was executed.
WOULD yru lose your other ear rather
than fail IN your purpoie," was the next
question.
Il have suffered much, but for my fla
ther, can Sutfrt stilI!' was the heroic an
Swcr of the buy.
The other ear WAS taken oil piecemeal
without fiipching on the part OF the noble
child.
And now 60 exclaimed AIorillo, un-
touched by his sublime courage, the ia
ther ol such son must die
In the presence of his a5onized and
rainIy suffering son, the patriot father
was then executed. Never lii picture

treacherous villainy lofty, enthusi-
