THE HEART AND THE
TONGUE.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.
“ T is ft singular thing," said the Tongue,
“ That you mu.t each accent delay;
I think, if I utter no wrong,
You need not remark what I say;
If all thinge meet come from the Heart,
Pray how it the Tongue to succeed 1
If people must epeak by the chart,
They must epeak very little indeed !”
When the Heart its chief minitier heard
Thua ite rule aud it* counsel disclaim,
It throbbed without breathing a word,
And burned with a feeling like shame.
Then a spirit arose that, though unite,
Thrill’d with language so truthful aud
plain
That the Tongue could no longer dispute,
Hut kuow that rebellion was vaiu.
"Fur better," it sighed, “not to speak,
Far better inactive flic Tongue
Thau to cull forth a blush on tiie cheek,
Or the weak aud the friendless to wrung!
Thu words which the feelings suggost.
Which affection aud friendship impart,
That oouie to the Tongue from the breast,
Aud that breast is the throne of the heart.”
Then assist—where assistance is kiud;
Protect—and thy mission be blest;
Leave deceit and dclusiou behind,
Aud defend, to the lost, the oppress'd.
Guard thy honor as though 't were a dower
That angels bestowed ou thy youth;
And oh! matchless and groat as thy power,
He matchless thy kiudness and truth.
A Marvellous Story.
[From tko San Fraucisco Call.]
Having spent more than two
years among the Chippewa Indians
living on the northwestern shores of
Lake Superior, arouud Chan-wo mi-
gun Hay, and the mouth of the river
Muskezibi. I often heard of the
strange and hitherto unpublished
custom of a secluded tribe of Indians
north of Vermillion Lake, who iu
winter sink their children under the
deep waters of the lake iu their vi-
cinity, and iu the spriug raise them
up front the bottom of tbe lake alive
and well, after being sir mouths dor-
mant ami unconscious.
The Chippewa Indians who related
the above to tne are respectable in
their way, and are gene: ally a trust
worthy and truthful people, being
mostly Christians, having been in-
structed by Hisbop Uarraga, of pious
memory. Hence, they iufoimed me
of the custom among the rabbit In-
dians consigning about one third of
their tribe to a kind of tomb for six
moil tbs iu order that tbe other two
thirds might be saved from death by
starvation, though I regard what I
beard as almost incredible, I could
not but pay some attention to a state-
ment so frequently made by so many
persons otherwise credible.
The manner iu which the thing is
done, ns they stated, is iu this way :
The children from the age of three
years to that of fourteen, at the ap-
proach of winter, are enclosed with-
in air-tight vessel or bags, made out
of the bark of tbe birch tree or rttua
itIba, and soou after tbe “Mohock”
ns it is called, is sealed over aud
made impervious to water, it is sunk
with its Ining
tom of the Lake Owaa, where it re-
freight into the bot-
maiu8 until spring, when it is drawn
up, and the dormant pappoose found
sound and well, and with a little
shaking is soou rescued to conscious-
ness. The Owassoes live cbieliy on
rabbits, the skins of which uuimaU
are their only clothing; and iu the
winter, when the snows are deep and
the rabbits scarce, this low tribe
would starve, if necessity had not
taught them to have recourse to the
desperate plan of disposing of their
children in order to save their pro-
visions.
The writer of this narrative regard-
ed the statement as fabulous at first:
for though every Indian he consulted
expressed his belief that the children
of the wild tribe were all buried iu
the lakes during the wiuter, and
hooked up again, safely, iu the
spriug, ret none of those who so con-
fidentially narrated tho story certi-
fied that any one of them had been
present when the operation of seal-
ing np the children In tbe ‘MOkocks,’
or their enlargement therefrom, took
place. Hut the writer hnppeued to
be present at the wedding of the
bead chief of the Chinpewas. No
ga nup’s daughter, Laay Louisa, to
one lloyle, a scion of one of the
tribes of Ual way, aud at this mar
nage feast, lasting a whole week,
were present two trnpiters from tha
rabbit eating Indians aforesaid, who.
upon being asked if the story about
the siukiug of tbe children into the
lake to save tho food they would
consume was fabulous, answered
gravely, ‘Kawin,’—No They assur-
ed us that .'too of their young
people were then under the water
since November, aud that they ex-
pected they would be nil safe ai d
well about the middle of May, when
they would be able to supply them
with food. They then described
bow the -Mokocks’ were prepared,
how tho Air wns excluded by tbe
burning of dry leaves within them,
how tho oliildreu were ordered to in-
hale a full breast of air, how the
vessel or sack of birch bark was
sealed and rendered water-proof by
a coaling of gum and rosin, and bow
they were sunk into the lake to re-
pose tber till spring.
Not satisfied with the testimony of
these two witnesses, continued by
the solemn clouds of smoke arising
like incense from their large stone
pipes, your correspondent came to
the resolution of testing iu person
tbe truth of these strange narrations
of so niauy respectable Indians,
Christiun and l’agau. Accordingly,
next day being the 7th of Januury,
1872, your correspondent, accompa-
nied by a sou of No-ga-nup, the chief,
n son of the head medicine man, Ma-
co day-he uos, aud Antoine Day, a
half breed, took tbe best six dogs
we could pick up, with plenty of
dried meat and Provisions for men
and dogs, nud started u'lder the
guidauce of the two Kabbit Indians
for their home iu the fur North. In
less than four days we made the
journey of over 300 miles, for the
surface of the suow was quite solid,
a mist liuviug prevailed for two or
three days, ami under the influence
of the frost became ice. Not iu all
nature is there anything more deso-
late and mclancbolly than traveling
iu those desolate regious, where for
miles and miles not a living thing
is seen nor a sound heard, except
the crasn of the limb of some tree
under its weight of suow, or tbe thud
of the full of a large mass f rom the
picturesque arches formed by the
enterwcuving tops of huge pines.
Even the barking of a pack of hun-
gry wolves, the growling of a bear,
or tho roaring of a lion would be
preferable to tbe stillness of death
which prevails in all tlint region.
This article would be too long
were I to describe tbe details of our
journey to the region of the Rabbit,
or Owassoe Indians. Hut to sum
tip, I must say that we found the
statement of our Indian informants
couflrined iu every particular. The
Rabbit Indians suffer severely from
famine. They enclose the youth of
the tribe in air tight envelopes., call-
ed ‘Mokocks,’ shaped somewhat like
a large egg. They flsli up these
cases in the spring’ and most of
those enclosed—all but a few, say
two per cent.—are alive and well
after their recussitation.
There can be iio doubt about tbe
facts here stated.
[We publish the above somewhat
remarkable story precisely as it
comes from tlie writer, who is evi-
dently more accustomed to tbe prac-
tical details of life on the frontier
t iau to describing them in print.
It is not tbe work of a professional
writer of sensations.—Ed. Call.]
Was Farragut Lashed to the
Rigging ?
A writer in Scribner for February,
who was an eye witness of the battle
iu Mobile Hay, takes tbe negative of
tbe Above question as follows:
When the fleet had crossed the bar
and was iuside of Sand Island, and
hod approached to within about'oue
mile and a quarter of Fort Morgau,
Admiral Farragut coolly aud delib-
erately ascended tho starboard rig-
ging, aud baited just beneath the
top. Passing bis arms up through
the “luboer’s hole,” he seized the
foot of the pilot, Martin Freeman
by name, who was standing in the
maintop, giving orders to the helms-
man. The Signal Quartermaster, in
obedience to tbe orders of Captain
Drayton, took up a hammock to se-
secure the Admiral to the shrouds,
so that, in case he should be killed,
bis body wjulil not fall ovorboard or
on tbe duck, but by Frecmun’s ad
vice tbe Admiral would not allow it
to be passed around him. The
Quartermaster returned with bis
lashing to the deck, and Farragnt,
the brave, passed tbe long line ot
torpedoes aud the Confederate forts
and fleet unscathed, wbito still cling-
ing to the foot of his trusty old pi-
lot, Martin Freeman. This is the
truth, which the historian should re-
ceive and record, if ho chooses to
make note of what was but an inci-
dent in that terrible action. Many
survivors of that day will vouch for
the above account. As for Martin
Freeman, he still lives in the imme-
diate vioiuity of tbe bay where the
battle was fotiglit, being tbe princi-
pal keeper of Horn Island Light-
house in Mississippi Sound. Should
any one chanue to queatiou this wri-
ter's assertion iu regard to the above
matter, ho is respectfully referred
to Mr. Freeman, who was probably
better acquainted at that time with
tho movements of Admirable Farra-
gut than any other persou in the
fleet—Captain Percival Drayton,per-
haps, excepted—and he is known os
the hereto and loynl son of South
Carolina, nud Fl«^ Captain ot the
West Gulf Squadrmi. Tho philoso-
phy of Admiral Fnrrngnt’s chosen
position is easily explained. Dur-
ing the noise of the battle he natu
rally desired to be so stationed tbut
when no human voice could be heard
aloft, should it bo necessary for him
to comiiiutiicaUi with the pilot, by
tightly grasping tbo foot of that
person* Hie signal wonld be noticed ;
and, as a fact, Mr. Freemnn did re
spond, nud, by bending down, lent
bis ear to the “lubber's hole” for
such orders os the Admiral wished
to give him.
Texas us it Is.
_ •
The Philadelphia Timet says that
for tho information aud instruction
of all Pennsylvanians and citizeus
of other States who desire to emi-
grate to a more genial clime, the fol-
lowing items, descriptive of the
great Southwestern Eldorado, are
grouped together for their special
attention and consideration :
Texas embraces an expanse of
country that reaches within o.ie-half
degree as far south ns the most
southerly limits of Florida, while
her northern toumlnry is on tbe
same parallel as tbejsouthcrn bound-
ary of Tenuessee. She ext-uds from
twenty five and a halt degrees north,
or through eleven degrees of lati-
tude, and from ninety-three and a
half degrees to oue hundred and
seven degrees of longitude west from
Greeuwich, or through thirteen and
oue-hulf degrees longitude. Her
greatest length iron) north to south
is about one thousand miles, und is
nearly the same distance from east
to west. Blio has an area of 274,365
square miles nml nearly 200,000,000
acres of land, ner empire of terri-
tory is considerably larger tbnu
France, aud exceeds in extent most
of tho governments of the world.
A comparison with other States may
furnish an approximately correct
conception of her size. To give n
definite idea of her immensity she is
more than four times as large as all
tbe New England States, or to make
a comparison with other States, with
which the reader may bo more la-
miliar, she is ns large as tbe six com-
bined States of New York, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois nud
North Carolina, and is larger than
any of tbe Territories, except Alaska.
VARIETIES OF CLIMATE AND SOIL.
Texas has within her limits every
variety of climate nud soil. The av-
erage of the heated term, oue year
with the other, for the twenty-four
hours, is nbout 84°. The thermom-
eter rarely in any portion of tho
State shows a tempemtnre of more
than 95° Farenlieit, nud very rarely
goes below 20°. In summer the sea
breeze, which always prevails, miti-
gates tbe heat and renders tho cli-
mate one of tbe most delightful in
the world. Her soil produces all the
substantial cereals of tbe uoithern
section of the United States; the
best fruits nud all the productions of
the Middle States, nud nearly all the
fruits of tho tropics. There is no
part of Texas that will not grow cot-
ton. It is the great staple of the
State. She has capacity to produce
a larger crop of cottou than is pro-
duced in tho whole of the United
States. There are but few cultiva-
tors of the soil that do not grow cot-
ton. Even where it is not raised ns
a crop, a little of it is raised for
home consumption. It is raised on
tho freedraan’s half acre, on the
farmer’s field of a hundred acres and
on the planter’s field of a thousand
acres. Tho Southern part of the
State produces wonderful crops of
sugar cane, equaling the cane grown
in Cnba and Louisiana, Especially
are the extreme southern counties
on the lower Trinity, Brazos and
Colorado rivers well adapted to tbo
cultivation of sugar. Corn is grown
on every farm in Tuxas, and there is
not an acre of laud in the State that
may not be made to produce it. This
staple is planted according to the
latitude, from the first ot February
to the Inst of March, and matures
iu June nud July. Wheat is sown
in November, and makes its start in
wiuter, and in many sections of the
State is uae+ns winter pasturage, it
being necessary to keep its growth
back in this way until the middle of
February. It grows luxuriantly dur-
ing the spring und ripens iu May, or
just about the time the fields of
wheat in the North begin to grow.
It is harvested iu May, and new
Texas flonr can lie pnt in the North
ern market by the middle of May or
first of Jane. Frost does not injure
wheat in Texas. Iu that State such
a thing as winter-killed wheat is un-
known. The wheat region of Texas
is of very broad expense of country,
equal to sixty thousand square miles,
ot which but a very small portion
lias yetl>opn cultivated. Wheat- will
become a great staple of Texas, which
at no far distant day will be pro-
duced iu such quantities ns to make
it an important element ot trade.
Tbe exportation of wheat will be a
leading feature in its commercial re-
lations with domestic and foreign
markets.
A CHANGE FOR THE PARMER.
Texas is the field of enterprise to
the hardworking fanner. Nowhere
iu the world cun ho get so much
tor his labor ns in ber virgin soil.
Tbe intelligent farmer will not re-
quire further information. Let biin
consider that with tbe richest soils
and with seasons from three to four
months longer than iu the North, he
has there tbe whole field of produc
tions to choose from and experiment
in. There the sLockraiser has an
ample competence from little labor.
There the cattle thrive ujioii the
prairies without further care than
the annual herding and branding,
while here in the North the stock-
raiser must feed his cattle from four
to six mouths m the year. Sheep
raising in Texas is a direct road to
competence. . All portions of tbe
State are adapted to sheep raising.
With a climate and pasturage ev-
ery way equal to the countries pro-
ducing the cheap wools, against
which the Northern wool-grower re
quires protection, the Texas wool-
grower has the Northern protection
to augment his gain. Merino wool
can he profitably produced in Texas
at seven cents per pound.
Such is the Lone Star State, the
land of beauty, tbo land of pleuty,
tbe land of provisions, tbe land of
breadstnfis, the laud of fruits, tbe
land of flowers, tho laud of forests
and the laud of prairies; a laud that
offers a home that will be in name
and iu fact a sanctuary to all w ho
will accept of it, anil a land tbut ex-
tends a cordial iuvitatiou und an
earnest greeting to all who wish to
link their fate with hers. For the
farmer, let him choose his favorite
crop and she will yield him nD abun-
dant return if be will do but half bis
duty to her fertile soil. To those
who wish to engage in manufactures,
she offers an empire eager to buy
the products of their skill and enter-
prise. To those who wish to engage
in commerce, there is no country
that offers a more inviting field. Iu
deed to all grades aud classes of
men, Texas extends a hearty wel-
come to come aud be sharers in her
great destiny.
WHITE LABOR IN DEMAND.
Texas wants white labor. The
late enfranchised Southern citizen
does not love to work anil regards
loafing as one of the prerogatives of
his status. It was supposed at one
time that white men could not stand
to labor in tbe cotton and sugar
fields, and that tbe Southern climate
was not adapted to farm culture of
nny kind by the white race, which
belief deterred white emigration to
tbe Southern State. This, however,
was an erroneous^ impression, for
since the freedom niul enfranchise-
ment of the colored man necessity
has forced the white uiau into the
field, and it is now an established
fact that the climate is adapted to
white field labor, and that the white
man can endure as much and perform
ns mnch or more labor than tho col-
ored man, nud the consequence is
that many poor white laboring men
and farmers witli small means are
securing a handsome coin|>ctoncy by
cultivating but a few acres of Texas
soil.
The Marriage of Great Mon.
Hyron married Miss Milbanke to
get money to pay bis debts. It
turned out it bad shift.
Robert Burns married a farm girl
with whom ho fell hi love while
they worked together in a ploughed
field, lie was irregular in his life,
and committed the must serious mis-
takes in conducting his domestic af-
fairs.
Milton married the daughter of a
country squire, and lived with ber
lint a short time. Ho was an austere
literary recluse, while she was a rosy
romping country l.tss that could not
endure the restraint imposed upon
her; so they separated. Subse-
quently, however, she returned, nud
they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
were cousins, and nbout tbe only ex-
ample in tbe long line of English
Monarchs wherein the innntal vows
were sacredly observed auil sincere
aflectiou existed.
Bliake8i>eare loved nml wedded a
farmers daughter. She was faith
fnl to her vows, but wo could hardly
say the same of the bard himself.
Like most of the great poets, lie
showed too little discrimination in
bestowiug his affections on the other
sex.
Washington married a woman ;
with two children. It Is enough to '
say she was worthy ofliiui, and they ,
j lived ns married people should live— |
ill perfect harmony with each other*
