.THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH
Y JAMES O. LTOICS, IX. D.
Aloog tb smooth and slender wires
The sleepless heralds run.
Fast as the clear and tiring rays
Go streaming from the sun.
Ho peals or flashes, heard or seen,
Their wondrous flight betray ;
And yet their words are plainly felt
In dues far away.
Nor sommer's heat, nor winter's hail,
Caa check their rapid course ;
' They meet unmoved the fierce wind's rage
The rough ware's sweeping force :
In the long night of rain and wrath.
As in the blaze of day,
They rash, with newt of weal or woe.
To thousands far away.
But, faster still than tidings borne
Oq that electric cord.
Rise the pure thoughts of him who lores
The christian's lite and Lord,
Of him who, taught, in smiles and tears,
Whh ferrent lips to pray.
Maintains high converse here on earth
With bright worlds far away.
Ay ! though nor outward wish is breathed,
Nor outward answer given,
The sighing of that humble heart
Is known and felt in hearen ;
Those long, frail wires may bend and break.
Those riewless heralds stray,
But Faith's least word shall reach the throne
Of God, though far away.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE FAWN OF PASCAGOULA ;
- OB, THE CHUMP. GIRL OF MOBILE.
Shall I tell you a story of real life, as ro
mantic and affecting as any in 6 cl ion f Well,
listen 1 Every citizen of Mobile is familiar
with the sight of the Indian girls who are
aeeo in our streets in the winter. With
(heir little bundles of ligbtwood npon their
backs, ibey mark the advent of the cold
weather as regularly as the mocking bird and
the cardinal chronicle the approach of spring.
, They peddle their small parcels of pine from
door to door., and all are familiar with the
toft, quick, petitioner? voice in which they
xclann "chumpa," as they offer their cheap
burdens for sale. -
These Indian girls, it is well known, be
long to certain Choctaw families who refus
ed to emigrate with their tribe beyond the
Jdiaalssippi, and yet linger upon their abort-
ginal hunting grounds, on the waters of the
Pearl and the Pascagola. Though they thus
exhibit an unconquerable attachment to their
native soil, they have yct.refused to adopt
the habits, language, or pursuits of the whites,
hy whom they are surrounded, and are per.
versely indifferent to all the inducements
of civilization. They persist in leading a
species of savage, gipsey, life the men
austaiaing themselves by bunting, and the
women by vending whortleberries and other
wild fruit io the summer, and bundles of pine
in tbe winter. With these simple produc
tions they visit Mobile semi-annually, and
for the time reside in the vicinity, in small
huts or camps, constructed of bark, boards,
and the limbs of trees. This has been their
usage from time immemorial, and yet con.
tinues.
These Indians are generally a miserable
end ignorant race, but with all their degra
dation, they possess some of the virtaes in
e singular degree. The women are prover
bially chaste and modest, and of all the
rouirg girls that annually visit our city, none
have been known to depart from tbe paths
of rectitude. A strong interest, therefore,
surrounds these simple daughters of the
woods, who resist all the blandishments of
their station, and pass unharmed through
tbe atreets of our city. Many of them are
ijaile handsome and possess, beneath their
roatie garbs the calico gown and the red
Waea-el considerable graces of manner and
appearance. As they invariably rt-fuse to
talk English, very little conversation can be
badarilh them, a ad that only in reference to
the small bargains which they desire to make.
Chump and picayune are almost the only
words which they employ in their intercourse
with oar inhabitants. Still they are not re.
served ia their movements, where bey wish
to make a bargain, and enter the different
bouses of the city, stores, dwelling, snd of
fices, without hesitation, ceremony or an
nouncement. ' Who has not been startled
snany a norning, by the low voice, at tbe
chamber door, exclaiming "Ckrnpa !''
'The stoical demeanor of these Choctaw
ssvridene has the natural sensibtlitiea'and
Jtatisneots of tbe sex." They have bright
JasJbing eyes, well developed, symmetrical
flexible forms, (beautiful small hands and
feet, and show, in their love for brilliant ar
ticle of dress, rings, beads, and other per
eonai decorations, the laste aria vanity of
their civilized sisters. Is it possible that
bey are deslitote of thoe delicate sympa
thiea and tender affections whirh hate mark,
ed woman in all other classes and eortditKms
of life? This question has no doubt sug
gested itself to many, as sn interesting prob
lem of character.' In one instance, at least,
est attempt perhaps a heartless one -was
made to solve it, and it is to that the story
which I have to tell refers. It came to my
knowledge in all its detail, hut I will at-
I its cjeiaiM, eut j win av-
4erj.pt lo narrate it iu such . manner a. not
to detain the reader with particulars which
l.r .ih n.niru ara which
be can imagine for himself.
Among the Choctaw gipsies, who visited
Mobile in the winter of 1846, wss one of
tanbsual beauty and attractiveness. Althouh
csreety developed into womanhood not
moretkaa seventeen "auna having kissed
.h rich bronze of ber cheek he wss yet
4all, rousKLIimbeW, straight and graceful a
very model of feminine form. Her features,
fMrw prominent and regular than ia uaual
with her tribe, ' were delicately sculptured,
sad the erect "attitude of her head, with hei
largeawn-like eyes, and abundant coal black
iair, always neatly plailstHn massive folds,
wave In tier snnenraraee an air of auoerioritv
such as tbe youthful Pocahontas is said to
kjve possessed. Her dress wss extremely
neat, though with a farre number of silver t
ano- wampum ornaments, ami her small feet,
which any or the fair promenaders on Dau-
phin might have envied, were invariably
dressed in moccasins ornamented in the most
fanciful style, with many colored beads. As
be walked about the streets of Mobile, ar
rayed in this way, with her parcel of pine
swung across her shoulders, she attracted the
attention of all spectators for her beauty J
mougu sue wouiu bold converse with none
except in the words by which she endeavor-
ed to dispose of her burden.
Much interest was naturally felt in this
young girl, and many efforts were made to
learn something of her character and histo-
ry. Nothing further could be gleaned (and
this was told by Capt. Bilk, a drunken Choc-
law, frequently seen in garrulous moods in
our streets.) than that she was the daughter
of an Indian chief of much note, who died
many years before, leaving her.an only child,
with her mother, in their cabin upon the
Pascagoula. Her aingular beauty bad made
her quite a belle with the Choctaw warriors,
but she wss very shy, and waa called in the
Indian tongue, the Wild Fawn of Pases gou
la. She supported her mother, who was very
old, and herself, by ber traffic in berries and
"lightwood." Her personal charms made
her one of the most successful dealers in
these articles, and every one, particularly the
young men of Mobile, were glad to give the
preference, in their patronage, to this young
and attentive creature. Many were the ef
forts made to gain her smiles and enlist her
in conversation, but they were all in vain.
Sho would go her daily round, enter with en
tire unreserve the rooms or offices of her pat
ron, deposit ber little load of pine, receive
her dime, and then quickly retire with the
sticks in her hand to procure another parcel.'
Things glided on this way for some months,
during the winter of which I speak. At last
an event occurred which tested the stoicism
and character of the young Fawn of Pasca
gnula. Among those whom she daily sup-
puen wnu ugntwoou was a young lawyer
re siding in an office in the second story of a I
building on one of our principal streets.
Admiring the beauty of bis timid visitor, and
feeling a strong interest in her, he deter
mined to discover if he could not by kind,
ness of manner, deferential notice and ele
gant little presents, win tbe heart of this
simple child of the woods. Though his mo
tive was mainly curiosity, his purposes were
not bad, and he had no idia of doing any in
jury to the object of his experiment by pay
ing ber those attentions which be had found
potent to enchant the admiration and win tbe
love of more enlightened and accomplished
maidens. He was a man of uncommon per
sonal beauty and singularly fascinating man.
snd.all these he brought to bear as
wen as ne coma, io eaeci nis innocent ana,
as be thought, harmless flirtation.
It ia needless to detail the arts resorted to
by Henry Howard to win the heart of the
Fawn of Pascagoula. He began in the moat
modest and deferential manner. He pur
chased from her, much more frequently tban
he needed, supplies of fuel, paid her lirger
sums than she asked, made her presents of
trinkets, pictures, and little ornaments of
dress, and accommodated himself in every
way to her apparent wishes. These things,
continued for some weeks, at last began to
have obvious effects. The Fawn tarried
longer in her visits at his office thin else-
where ; she always came there first ; and took
an evident interest in his attentions. At
length she began to answer msremsras in
siich few worda of English as she could com
mand, and to louk upon his handsome and
fascinating countenance with pleased smiles
and earuest continued attention. 1 he spell
evidently began to work ! Henry Howard
i . i i r - k.. -. .
but here he had to deal with an untutored
Indian girl, as timid as a bird, and whose
springs of emotion and sympathy could -not
be. determined by the ordinary standards of
feeling
Do. not think that I am depicting those
subtile arts of fascination by which the
rattle-snake lures snd captives tbe humming
bird. There was no purpose of evil tn the
hesrt of tbe young attorney. He waa but
practising, with a simple savage heart, those
tricks and elegancies of intercourse which
are recognised as legitimate io civilized
society. He wished to see if the same effects

The probabilities were that the experiment
would not succeed e casuist would there
fore think is harmless.
Months had passed away, and Henry
Howard at last determined to make a more
obvious demonstration of his love to the
Fawn of Pascagoula. Une cold morning
in February, iust as he hsd finished his
toilet, he hesrd a light step st his door, and
a well-known voice, as tho spesker entered,
playfully exclaiming "chumpa, ctounpar

oeck, the Fawn stood beiore him. She threw
her armful of pine upon the hearth, and look.
ed smilinplv into his fsce. In bis most
graceful manner he approached her, and took
Uer hands in his. Suddenly he encucleti
her waist with bis arm, and, drawing her to
him, imprinled upon her lips a long snd
fervent kiss. Modestly she looked into his
face, with a slight expression of surprise,
but not dissstisfaclion ; and then he poured
forth to her warm and urgent words of love
