A Legend of the Roanoke.
For the Fatrqn qnd Gleaner.
When the ships of Sir Walter .Ral
eigh under the command of Anaadas,
ana Barlowe, first torched the coast
r nri, rwdi th t? rii..
was called by the natives "iloratoc.
How long it -retained the name or
jwhea it was changed to Roanoke,
we have no authentic-history. Dr.
Hanks, in his history of North Car(v
Una, tays there was somewhere with
in the present limits of Bertie eouc
ty an Indian town called ?Okan6ak,'
and here, we would suggest, we
have probably the origin of the name
now applied to the river, which, bor
dcring Bertie on the West and South,
empties into Albemale. We call it
Roanoke, an easy corruption frotn
"Okanoak."
Bui there is still existing an old
Indian legend handed down to us.
through the mists of many genera
tions, long since passed away, in
which another version of its change
of name .is given.
. "Once upon a time.' so says the
old legend, ' there was a chieftain of
the Tuscarora Indians, who, by some
means, came in psssession of a beau
tiful roan horse, noted for its
strength, docility and wonderful
power of endurance, one that had
never failed to respond to any call
made upon htm, however difficult.
In fact, he was a counterpart of old :
Mazeppa's noble steed, that afler
"dread Pul Iowa's day' bore the ol
chief in safety from the fatal field.
"But he was hardy as his lord.
And little cared for bed and board;
Whatever was to be done, would' do,
Obeyed his voice and came to call,
And knew hiua in the midst of all.
Though thousands were around and
night,.. ...... u, ,-,;.
Without a star "pursued bet flight.
That steed from sunset until d:iwn
His chief would follow like a faun."
-Byron.
Having occasion to cross the
Moratoc on business connected
with the welfare of his tribe,
the chief chose the roan to bear him
on his Journey. Arriving at the bank
of the river, he was surprised to find
it a raging torrent, full to overflow
ing from the recent heavy rains
above. He calmly surveyed the
rushing waters, unmoved by the dan
gerous outlook before him and with
out .n atom of fear, to which his
heart was a stranger, made prepara
tions to cross. Gathering the reins
of his bridle with a firm hand he
gently pressed the flasks, of his no
ble roan with his moccasined heel ;
the horse, which had never yet
flinched from any task however dan
gerous and difficult it might be, with
a heart as fearless as his rider, did
not hesitate a moment, but boldly
made the desperate plunge ta the
mass of seething waters. For an in
staut or two, it see.ned as if both
horse and rider had been engulfed,
never to rise again, but soon coming
to the surface, with expanded chest
and dilated nostrils, he calmly
breasted the foaming waves and
made for the opposite shore. Inch
by inch he gallantly fought his fear
ful way, and seemed to exult, in hav
ing found in the perilous task before
hini, an opportunity of showing the
chief, his indomitable courage, and
- ' . e J
matchless power of endurance
poyeesscd by him.
After many
drew near
a sturdy stroke he
the shore, onl v to meet a deeper
, . , ... ,,
swifter current, one that would
tall forth all his strength, and try to
theuacnoos- tbatpowerofenduraocc
which had never yet been equaled.
The chief seeing that he was being
slowly borne down the stream by the
strong force of the current patted his
t
mane and spoke gentle words of
cheer to encourage him in this hour
oftrial. The noble animal in the
agony of his desperate struggles for
life, understood the kind intentions
of its rider, and realizing at last his
perilous condition he redoubled his
J efforts to reach the shore, only. to be
bailed .by the ireachrrods cur..nf.
On and on, despitc-Sis strength and
all the energies of life, nature, he was
carried l,own anttldnftirg with the
. current, ne was oorne near mm shore
and caught in the limbs cT an oak,
that grew on the bank then" thie die
' . t
was cast. Becoming entangled in the
branches that extended in the witter,
his most desperate plunger availed
nothing only to exhaust what little of
life was left. "t'-v '-.
The contest. was not long; already
weakened by the feartul passage of
the river and his desperated ght with
the powerful curxent."Hs limbs tied,
as it were, "by the l -ranches of the
oak, nature could do no more. The
chie with the stoical inditference of
his race, to death, commenced in
plaintive tones, his deuth song, and
.. . ' .
for awhile it seemed as if both horse
and rider, that had been inseparable
in life, would go dowftin death to
gether, but it was not to be so. The
horse soon ceased his useless strug
gles for life and the few bubbles of
air that rose to the surface of the
water, alone told where"he roan had
sunk-to rise no more. The chief by
clinging to the over-hanging branch
es of the oak, suceeedectii reaching'
the' shore, and thus escaped the sad
fate of his companion.
After many days the chief returned j
foot-sore aud weary, toj.be home of
his people and assembling his tribe.
recounted to them the tragic death
of his beautiful roan in the treacher
ous waters of jtlie Moratoc.
They, sympathizing and lamenting
kith him the great loss of their tribe,
ever after, in speaking of the river.
coupled the color of their lost favorv
tavolvl
"e of lii'fif
ite with: the "Oak; as the cause
death, called it Itoanoafc.
Thus the legend funs, and the
fact becoming known to all the Tus-
caroras living in that region,
the
name was accepted, to commemorate
the loss of the companion of their
chief, whose body lay entombed be
neath its turbid waters.

Unexpected Flowers.
f For the Patron aud Gleaner.!
In a night vision, amidst the neg
lected shrubbery of a remote corner
of the front yard of a long ago home,
methoiJght I found a beautiful.though
remarkably etherar spray of flowers.
So filmy, so dewy yet vague it ap
peared, that it needed an intensety
sharpened spiritual vision to fully
comprehend its fairy-like texture,
color and rare loveliness. Painted
in Heaven's own hue, the flower was
transceudently beautiful.
Near by, there blossomed another
brilliant species unknown to the bot
anical world, seemingly unknown
and unloved, by the residents, yet
giving inexpressible pleasure to my
higher emotions even after awaken-
ing.
And, such a life! Last evenirg,
an unexpected flower tf pleasantness
sprang up along the highway of Life.

must guard our eyes from becoming

When Rosa Boa bear, the magni-
Jique of European artists, was a child,
she comprehended not the undevel

in her grand combination of uni

stroBg, inflexible will, the stern, tan

genius began to feel the power f
