Hi'

The White kosdof Scotland.
A BISTOhlCAL SKETCH.
Catliarlne, we must part. Tlio
Itlnp tills morn contemptuously refused
me further atd. Indlgnnnt at hh want
of faith, I retorted in no measured
terms, and am enjoined, on penalty of
baying my, (lie a forfeit to my disobedi
ence, to qtitt the Itlnvdom, three days
bhly being allowed mo to prepare for
tii y departure. I must return to Flan
ders, there to seek that support which
is denied me here. Tolls and dancers
await me, to which I cannot consent to
thy exposure. That tedder form of
tlniie, my love, is not suiteu to encure
tlio buffet of nly stormy foHune."
Such were the words of tlio husband
of the Laily Cathralne Gordon, on his
return from an unsuccessful luterview
with Jambs IV. of Scotland.
" And bhall Hutitly's daughter," re.
piled the lady, "thus consent to desert
her husband? No, my dbar Richard, 1
have shared your short-lived splendor,
let me participate In yonr leverses. Let
us lento Scotland; let us together seek
our exile, and & kindred fate be ours.
Where thou goest will I go, where thou
lodgest 1 will lodge; thy people shall
bo my people, and thy God my God I"
" Noble-minded woman! but it must
not bel" ejaculated tiie youth. "Catlia
ribe for 1 dare not longer wear a mask
prepare to curse thy unworthy hus
band. Thou deemest me the rightful
heir to England's crown, hut know me
as a base Impostor. I won thy love by
a lie. Ambitiously aspiring to the heart
of one fair and noble as thyself, have I
eutailed on a great and glorious raco
ruin and dishonor. Yet, oh I forgive
me, ntijl do hot execrate my wild am
bition." " Oh, Richard, was this deception
cenerous? Yet hold, my swelling heart,
and let my duty as a wife bubdue my
wo'than's pride. My husband, avert
not from me thus thy tfearlul eyes,
Wlio'er thou art, thou hast been to mu
all tenderness. It will bp iiiiiv my
uraleful task tonrove to theo ttiat Cath
arine Gordon's love was unalloyed by
Interest nud ambition. If she adored
thee when, 'mid thy gallant train, thou
stoodest unmatched, 'twas nut the
splendor of thy royifl name that bade
me wish thee mine. Yes, my husband,
1 loved thee, and still 1 lovo thee; for
thyself alone, Let us, then, tly tljese
shores; desist from the wild pur.-ult of
what thou hast ho claim 10, and let tis
seek a happy, n contented privacy.
" .Alas, my belbvrdl it is impossible.
Gocnd by a solemn oath to pursue,'
while J have being, the claim I have
asserted, lib rest, no peace remains to
me. Leave me to my woes leave niu
to nly dishonor. Why why should
both be wretched?"
As the unhappy speaker concluded ho
folded In his arms his faithful wile, and
neffectiial'y endeavored to subdue her
determination to share his fortunes.
The icadef will, ore tills, have discov
ered In tho husband of the Lady talha
rlne, the youth who During tho feign of
Henry VII , hid arrogated to himself
the title of Richard, Uuku of York, sec
mid son of Edward IV.; who, with his
brother, had ben murdered In tho
Tower by the Inhu.nau Richard 111
rosessed of every acconipilsment
that could engage affection, the youth,
whose name was Perklu Warbcck, a
Fleming, hud gained the ready respect
and contideuceof many persons of rank
In England.
After the failure, however, of his en
deavors to excite a revolt In that couu
try, which were discovered by the vlcll,
ance of tho king, and frustrated by the
Immediate execution of his adherents
ho hud repaired to Scotland, and solicit,
ed the assistance of James IV. to place
him on the throne 6f E'litlaud.
James, whoso credulity was equal to
Ids valor, was easily prevailed orf to
support his pretentions,
lie received hi in with the highest dls
Unction, and in a short tlri.e consented
to Ids union With a relative of his own.
tlio Lady Cath'arinu Gordon, daughter
cf the Earie of Huntly.
Between the "White Roso of Scot
land" for such wa'j the appellation
which the extraordinary beauty of this
young lady had gained her and the
adventurer an ardent attachment had
existed fro to tlieearllst period of his ar
rival lu Scutlaiid.
Rut, finding the Enallsh'peoplo by no
means disposed to Join the tlctltluu's
prince, tlin Scottish king gave up th'o
cause as hopeless.
The sun was attaining tohls meridian
height when the unhappy adventurer
and Ills devoted bride embarked atLeilh
for Flanders.
" Rlesa thee, Uddiel bestow a baw
bee In charity ou pulr auld witless
Mansie."
Such were the words addressed by a
wretched. looking figure to the Lady
Catharine, as, leunlhgon her husband's
arm, she appeared on the beach.
She threw her a small colu, which tho'
Beggar received, ejaculating s
" Mony thanks', lt'ddle, Mansle's
prayers shall swell (lie breeze that wafts
tliett ower the wide saut wave, liut,"
almost uhrioked she, vazlui! intently on
the astonished Catharine, "muckle fear
hue I )o need na wish a speedy vuyago
belter a water'y graVo than a broken
heart better a pillow on the faemlug
brine than a sleepless bed lu a forclgu
land."
" What meanest thou?" earnestly de
manded Cathtrlne, whose curiosity and
alarm wete strongly excited by the
woids of the beggar.
" Ah, leddle, dlnna ask. Gin ye
saw vl' auld Mansle's ten, ye wad ua
leave tho land o' youf forhents to ream
mang ruthless faces, a lanely exile.
Fareweel, farnweel.lpddje; dlnna forget
tho wamln' o' auld Maiisle!"
As she snoko she turned from tho dis
appointed Catharine, who, with her
husband, repaired to the boat that was
to convey them to the vessel which was
about to waft her fdrbv'cr from her na
tive liind.
As tho boat was rowed from the
shorn, tho beggar's discordant voice
was heard chantir.g tho following song:
" Tlio Whlto Iloo has bloomed
Through a brief summer day,
Yel the White Koso Is doomed
To a rapid decay;
Thy smllo may Impart
A' It sweetness awhile,
Yet tho worm's In thy heart
That shall banish that smite.
Farewell oh, farewell I
'Mid tho tempest that blows,
In mv ear rings tho knoll
O' Scotland's Whlto Itose.
" Swift to bear thee away,
Hound tbee hoarso billows swell l
Ance again, an' for aye,
Hosoo' Scotland, (arcwoll 1"
As the last words of tho song pealed
on the cars of terror-smitten Catharine,
she .ascended the side of the vessel.and,
with eyes tearless from agony, perceU
ed the shores of her native land reced
ing fast from her view. .
Hv anacreement between the Encllsh
and Flemish courts', all English reoels
had bean excluded from tuo Low Coun
tries.
Pcrkln, though born In England, was
a Fleming by extraction, might, there
fore, have claimed admlsslou into l' lan
ders.
Rut, as he must have dismissed his
English retainers, the brave compan
ions of his dangers, and ns he had to
apprehend a cold leceptlon from a peo
ple who were determined to maintain
an amicable footing with the English
court, he resolved not to hazard tlio ex
periment, but repaired lo Ireland, where
he remained for some time in Insecure
and comfortless exile.
It is not to be expected that wo snail
follow the historian in a detail of his
subsequent attempt upon England, of
ills innuing m iuiiiwuii, ueiui; jouieu
by tho populace, and taklnrf upon him
self tlie title ot Richard IV., King" of
England.
It was at this perioa mac ins ioo lattn
fu'i wife, following the fortunes of her
unhappy husband, fell into the. hands
of the enemy.
This was a fatal blow to the adven
turer. . , ,
In all his wandering sho had shared
his fortunes.
With all his faults he had still adored
his lovely, lili ill-fated bride, his fair
and spotless "white Roso."
We shall not depict the humiliating
scene of ids surrender to King Henry,
of the exposure ot his fictitious claims.
of his Ignominious treatment and close
confinement, of his repeated efforts
escape, and lastly, ot his atraignmcnt
and condemnation, but pass on to the
scene ot execution.
The last morn that ever broke upon
the eyes of the unhappy pretender to
royalty dawned heavily nud slowly.
At an early hour the roads and lanes
adjacent to the hill of Tyburn, the place
of execution, were thronged nun anx
ions and expecting thousands.
A ticiacumeni oi soiuiers surrounuea
tho sledge on which the culprit and his
confessor were placed.
As the procession appioacn'ed tho
fatal spot, Perftin threw his eye.t upon
the gallows (tint frowned on' the hill,
and observed to his confessor, with a
smile of disappointment;
" Yonder is th'e throne to which m'y
ambition has exalted me."
The father eutrcated him to dismiss
from his thoughts everything that
might distract his thoughts from the
awful duty ot preparing to meet his
Maker, adding, that though disappoint
ed of an early throne, the present place
was io ue a stepping stoue to an etern
al one.
" Were not these arms pinioned,"
crfed the prisoner, "I woild emb'raco
th'e tree; and, eluce my tongue Is uot
restrained, I tu&nk thee lor tho blest
assurance.
lie was1 now urged to a public confes
sion nf his Imposture.,
" Is not then your master yet con
tent?" said' he, adding, "buI consent,
and thus proclaim my Infamy. Urged
on by restless ambition, but more by
thflrtady tool ot others' designing, I
have disturbed' the quiet of these realms,
and suuglit a crown to which 1 had no
claim, Father," he added, lowering
his voice, "Heaven Is my witness that
I had not been bound by oath, I had
long discontinued this Iniquitous and
futllti enterpr.so. My unhappy Catha
rine I li'ow does my heart bleed at
thought of her. She long, long entreat
ed mo tn resign tho ambitious claim.
That angel woman, father, In tho How

signed her fate to my keeping; the de
scem a'ut of a line of princes, sho brook

terview, but my heart now tells me ho
did It moro In, mercy than lri anger.
Rut no more. 1 h'dvo done with earth
I have done with Catliarlnb."
He knelt, and, .crossing his lianas on
his, breast, oiaculated a silent prayer.
At that moment a stir, was perceived
among tlio croWd. and a female broke
through, the soldiers that surrounded
tho drop, and tlirevr herself Iti the arms
of the criminal.
" Notyetl notyctl Spare ijtrn a little
icjngeri 1'ear litm not so soon from my
amis!" alio ejaculated.
" My poor mourner, 'tis too lato,"
replied the condemned.
. " Oh, no, no.no!" replied Catharine,
"It Is never too lato for mercy. Tnke
him back to his dungeon respite him
biit a few hours- I wlll.ogaiu to the
king, throw myself at his feet, nor ceaso
till he forgives!"
Nature could do p'q more.. t,
tiie sank inscuslb'lo into tlio arms of
.ei husband.
" Now is tho tlmo," cried ho, print
ing a last lflss or! her pale cheek, as ho
consigned her to his confessor, directing
him to remove her from the spot. "The
bitterness ot death is past," ejaculated
he, as ho threw on her ono lingering
loot, and calmly submitted to tho exe
cutioner. The liiotlon attending tho removal ot
Iho Lady Catharine restored animation.
Involuntarily she turned her eyes to
wards thb.latal spot.
What slie saw may bo conceived from
the sequel. ,
" The flend3 havo murdered him!"
she shrieked.
They were the last wordi of expir

tho White Rose of Scotland.

aged to get near enough to the camp, to
observe the luutans, nnd in the middle
of the night tills force passed within a
mile or so of the Indian camp, where
Gen. Gibbon nnd tlio main body Joined
them. A short while nftut; ono of the
lieutenants crawled down and recon
nultred the Indian position. The cen
tral camp was located across a bend on
the noith fork ot the Big Holo river,
The lodges numbered elghty-nlnc, The
Mteaiu was tuicKiy irillgeu Willi wil
lows, and the lodges were Ditched1 on
tho south side. Gibbon came up on tho
north side. His force was' formed tinon
a high bar, one hundred yards from the
iiiuiuu i-uiupj wiieru tuey remained un
til daybreak. Just as daylight had
fairly appeared a single Indian on
horseback startvd to bring In fio herd
ot ponies, numbering seven of eight
hundred. Uo did not suspect the nre-
seucu of the whites, but rode socloso to
Uradley's command that the Lieutenant
saw they would undiscovered, rind it
was no tlmo to take chances ; so they'
opened fire on the Indian, killing him
atid ins ii or so. Alter nrlnrr thev lu
slantly started for the Indian ca'tnn
Arriving at the Willows that lined the
btrtam an Indian rose up and fired at
ajleut. lirauiey, killing lilm upon the
spot. Tlio Indian was Immediately
ildilled with bullets. Before arriving
at th'e wlllots Gibbon had cautioned
liradley about entering tlio brush, and
his men had called out to him ; "Hold,
Lieutenant, don't go in there ;" but the
fearless soldier led on. The soldiers
charged across tho stream and Into the
Indian camp before the Indians had
lime to escape from their lodges. The
atttack was a complete success, but
these bhots had aroused tho Indians,,
who wero sleeping on their arms and
watchful. Still, tho suddenness nf the
attack: surprised then.. Tlio Indians
rushed out in tho wildest confusion, tho
men with cuus. boVs with knives, and
squaws with pistols, all lighting ilesper
ately. Tlio Indians were well aruict
and had plenty of ammunition.
Among tliH lodges desperate band-to
hand fighting was can led on for an
nour aim a nan. iiy tins tune tiie in'
dians had recovered Horn their surprise,
They outnumbered tho soldiers largely.
and now oegan to ugnt wlllt despera
tlon. lliey fell back into the bru
and' to high points commanding the
camp, and kept up a galling fire on the
command, who ilien endeavored toburn
the camp. The cauvas lodges were
burned, but the skin lodges could not be
fired, and the grass aud the brush was
loo green lu take fire. Continued occu
patloA of the camp was useless. Under
direction of Gibbon the men moved to,
ward a wooded poln;, about half a tnllo
off, near the canon from which the
troops had come down. The Indians
seeing the movement, endeavored to In
tercept tlio command, but the cool
headed Genet al ordered them to fight
their way. Ills hone was killed, and
ho was shot throu-h the calf ot the lee,
But all the men got lu, nud, covering
themselves ns well as possible, a bush
whacking fight commenced. The In
dians took their usual tactics, and the
bharpsliootlug was lively aud fierce.
Gibbon expected his howitzer to Join
him here, but the fight had begun
earlier than expected, and the howitzer
moved too fur down the mountain side.
The Indians discovered it, aud a patty
ot them charged the llttlo squad of six
men who bad charge ot the gun, The
soldiers gavo tliem trio benefit of tho
howitzer's contents, , fired and loaded
again, and after tho spcond fire tho ser
geaut threw the gun from the trtinlons
and died beside the dismantled pleco.
TheHipr sergeant was wounded, but,
with tho four men, escaped to the com
mand. The Indians dared not charge
upon tho position,
Whlto Bird was plainly heard and
seen endeavoring to animate , the. Iti7
dlans to charge upon tho command, j but
In yaln. Ho could not bring them to it.
Gib'boii's command to his moil was not
to expose themselves nud save, their am
munition. The sharp'shoollng was ex
cellent, and whenever an Indian ex.
posed himself he got it, while, they
retorted lu skilful style. The Indians
circled all around Gen. Gibbon's posi
tion, posted their sharpshooters. In the
woods above him aud at overy availablo
point, to pick off tho men. Tliey would,
raise their llercest war cry and advance
