Tim Magnetic Telegraph.
Along the month and slender wires
The sleepless heralds run,
' Fast no the clear and living rays
Go streaming from the sun:
No peals or flashes hoard or aeon
- 'Their wondrous flight betray,'
And yet their words are quickly fell
In cities far away,
Norsumines's beat, nor WintSr's
Can check their ropid course;
They meet unmoved, the Gems wind's rage—
The rough ware's sweeping force;
In the lone night of r in and wrath,
As in the hlsze of day,
They rusk, with news of weal or woe,
To thoutands tar away.
But faster rtill than tidings borno
that eli ctric chord,
Risn thn pure thoughts of him who loves
The Christian life nod Lord—
Of him who taught in smiles and tears
Witt , ' forwent lip. to pray,
Maintains high converse here on earth
Wttn i firight world's far sway.
Aye' though no outward thought is broathed
Nor outward answer given,
The sighing of that humble heart.
Is known and Clt in heaven; -
.Those lung. frail wire may bend and break,
These viewless Heralds stay,
Biit Faith's last word shall reach the throne
Of Gott, though far away.
THE MUTENINT OF HUSSARS,
BY fit. TI. BA LIM.
Thmigh a quiet Northerner Myself, I have
ever half envied the dreamy, indolent habits
of •those %vim live iii the tropics. TIM sod',
genial clime of the lo+ latitudes, so produc
tive of rich and luschlus fruits, is also the
home of romance and of love. . The indolent
habits of the, people, superinduced by 'the
ease with which life is supported, and the
ready and abundant yie'd of the earth, unaid
ed by artificial culture, all tend to give the
dwellers of the land, time and fancy for love
and romantic adventure. 'The very nature of
the people seems to have become affianced to
these circumstances.
They are physically formed to aid the gen
tle prornptings Of their dime, the males with
light agile formes, dark comp'exions, •mainly
of the rich olive' hue, tinged with a warm
southern blond, figures erect, and with dark,
waving hair; rendering them indeed really
handsome. The females seem made alone
fur love, with their persons refined to woman
ly grace and lo:eliness, even in tender years;
with large, deep Initrous eyes, whose depths
reflect onlf %%aria, ardent and passionate love
with an t intlideUt elegance and queenly grace
that seems to 01 them well as angels to wor
ship, rather than beings to love,, with every
soft-belonging that leads captive the eye and
heart. Sugh aro fhe gentler sex of the
tropics. .
In Havana One sees the race in its prime
—III the gentler qualities of oi r nature are
ever a pparentlimthe intercourse of the yeo
ji
pie; like the t ` ild and snothin zephyrs they
breathe, but a demon lives in their hearts nev
ertheless, which when aroused, is like" the
fierce tornadoes that sweep their island, leav
ing desalatior and ruin in their midi. The
Spaniard is u iversallytrepiesented to be re
vengeful, but ( the Creole is ten times as much
so. The des i gnating term is used in so many
different scul l s, that I should say here,l refer
to the individual in who•-e veins courses the
blood of the home 'Spaniard, mingled with
hat of the native Cuban. The ainalgamti

he simple premising that the
circumstancei are ns tine as they are roman-
II
ti'c, and' not by any means nnenmmon in the
capital of CuLa, with its prouliar inhabitants.
Senor Pedro Gomendez was a rich, influ
ential Creole citizen of Havana, and his great
wealth Made' inn a man of no little note and
mportanee. Besides hia superb town house
in the Calle e Mocaderee, or the street of
the merchant, he also owned several coffee,
sugar, and tobacco plentitioas in ;he interior;
and nearly a thousand slaves, male and fe
male, called him master. With his great
wealth, he lir' d sumptuously, and was-alto
gether a Tiber I, though proud man.
' !
i i i
His two
.children, Pod and Inez, were the doating
care and pride,* theirlather,and their moth
er having died when they were young. his
parental care 'was augmented. Pedro, he had
already sent, at the age of eighteen, to a pop
ular school 'tithe United States, (a' „rowing
habit with th Cubans) where he might Ob
tain a suitabla education for one of his _birth
and .station i i life. . 1 Inez, the father prefer

service who would not hav e risked his co l tn-i
mission for a sweet smile from her lips: n=
(Iced. she was universally known as the b Ile'
of Havana.
!, I Would there were some manly task •p

pointed, by the accomplishment of which a
gallant heart might win her hand and lo l e,'
said a junior lieutenant .01 the mess. after
sortie conversation upon the subject.
"Aye, could that be," said his capta
somewhat boastingly, "there are hands
ready, and skill more potent than yours to :
gage fur the prize."
„ There is her immense weath, too,” 8: 1

"That is a consideration," replied the ca

"Now, to my mimi," said the iliontena
Mendez, who had remained silent ;until no
"that is the only real obstacle in the way
winning the girl, always supposing that y
find an honest and worthy suitor, one who r i
ally loved the Senora Inez; for were she po
and unhedged by the golden fenext that st(l
confines her, I know of one heart that shit

other reveille."
"S o you to are love-sick, Mendez'?" ask •
the adjutant. , 1
can't deny the soft impeachinent," al
s wer . ed the .lieutenant.
oNor I," said the junior.
"Nor 1," said the captain, "thOugh I mn ,
ow, that if her broad- plantations, slavf
and doubloons, were to melt intoair, all til
reveilles in Christendom might sound befo
11 ey should arouse my love."
It was one of those soft, genial nights IN'
one only sees and enjoys to perfection in t
tropics, that the notes of a Spanish guit
broke the moonlight stillness beneath ti
window of the Sehora Inez. They seen 4
peculiarly tempered to the hour, and to flo
-in a liquid harrriony that was only equall :
by the clear. manly voice, that accompani e
them. It was impossible to hear and' not
delighted; and even the cautious, maideoli
delicate 'lnez, plucked a little breast-knot,
flowers from the abundance that thrived i
her room, and Securing, them together. 11

he might, in payment for the deljght he hit
afforded her.. The token, was eagerly seize
and placed in the bosom of the' recipient 4
But other eyes were writchim.v,,'and other ee
listening to thenserminder. Senor Goment i i
had a watchful eye and care for his claughtf
and the notes of the guitar, though as gent
and soft as the breath of an Eolian harp, h;
yet wakened him at once, and his jealot
was aroused lest the performer should 'he

Senor Gomendez quietly sought an +it fr
the rear of his house, so as to enable ;him
come upon the serenader in the midst of
performance; which plan he adroitly
,iacc
plished.. The bright blade of a stiletto g
tened in his hand, as he cautiously approa l
the serenader beneath the window; but t
nearerhe came to the spot, the'less he see
ed to court disguise, and he even sheathed
dagger, and atlast cast aside all reselve,
watched the performer with evident inter
until he had ended his song. The perfo4
appeared to be - u youth of scarcely two'
years, dressed in the Spanish - cospune o r t

seemed to indicate that this waii his office,
Interest had evidently taken the place of in

It was fully three , nanths 'subsequent 'to
that night, when one fine evening, just in the
hour of the long twilight of the
. South, two
per Sons were silting beneath the broad pidz
ia that invariably surrotitids the' .country
house of the planter in Cam. The tWo
wee nearly of an age. The female Was
perhaps : eighteen, though she exhibited the
roundness and beauty of ripened womanliod.
Her figure was slightly belowt the or 'nary
height, and beautifully
„rounded, wit the
•
most bewitching symetry, with the very
slightest tendency to emLonpoint. He com
plexion was that of the soft hue of the est
Indian rose-apple, a slight shade lighter l than
the olive, with hair and eyes so black, that
you Would second limo to note l this
marked peculierity—only peculiar in its in
tensity, however. for 'it is the never-filing
gift of the Spanish -Creole to. posses hair
and eyes of the ddrkest hue; and yet, latter
all, hair and eyes that are really black l are
very rare.
. _
Senora Inez had eyes almost startling to
look upon, from very, .brilliancy—thut seemed
ever choaking with the Wealth of= expre'ssion
they struggled to give voice tn. Her Iposi
tion at this moment was most beautiful and
classic, as sheleatted upon the guitar . by her
side. There was an air, of graceful ilegli

him by her side, and yet it was easy te,.See

,The air was
fragrant . with the orange bloscorns. and the
coffee, with its white Wont.' looked as if n
cloud of snow had gently, tvlc ! on that i sin
gle spot, and left the restot tbe - verdureclear
and green. The fragrant jessamine att the
wild heliotrope entwined themselves luxuri
antly about the suppniters .of the verandah,
and every odor seemed in' unison with the soft
hue of a tropical twilight: "'What ati lhour

One morning tit an inn in the South of Ire
land, a gentleman, traveling upon mercantile
business,came running down stairs a few min
utes before the appearance of the stage coach,
'in - which he had taken a seat for Dublin.—
Seeing an ugly little fellow leaning against
the cinar,post, with dirty face and shabby
I -
clothes, he hailed him and ordered him to
brush his coat. The operation proceeding
rattier eh wly,the impatient traveler cursed the
Ipy.v, valet for an idle,, good-for nothing do.g ?
and threatened him with corporal punishment
on the spot, if he did not muke haste and 'fin
ish his job well before the arrivalot -the coach.
Terror seemed -to produce its k fleet; the fel
row brushed the coat and Dowsers, w ith great
ililligence, and-was rewarded with six-pence,•
which he received with a low bow. The
gentleman went into t he bar, and paid his bill;
just as the expected vehicle reached the door.
Upon getting inside, gams his astonishment
to find his friend, the squondam waiter, snug
ly seated in one corner, with all the look of a
person well used to comfort. After two or ,
three hurried glances, to be sure that his eye!,
did not deceive hjm, he commenced a confused
apology for his blunder, condemning his own
rashness and stupidity z —but he was speedily
interopted by the other exclaiming, "Oh, nev
er mind—make' no apologies—these are hard
times, and it is ,i'vell to earn a trifle in an hon
est way-•-I am mt)ch obliged for your hand
some fee for an small a job—my name, sir, is
John Philpot Curran; prey, what is yoursV
The other was thunder struck by the idea of
such an introducticit; but the drolley of Cur
' ran soon overcame his confusion; and t4e trav
eller rejoittediess at the termination 'of a long'
journey, the when he beheld , the distant
