The following lines were composed by Miss
Towtisetitl, of Hiiladelphia, nfter bearing
Kdgnr A. Poe's "Haven" read. Her own
aitaation of blindness and entire helplessness
is totichingly nlliulcd to, and the contrast in
the su'Wj of the two poems is very striking:
THE DOVE.
'Twos midnight ! solemn, dark and deep 1
And vuiuly 1 had conrtfd sleep.
When worn with pain, with anguish tossed,
Mope, f.iilh unci pestilence nearly lost,
I henrd n sound, n gentle round,
Breaking the soliunii stillness round ;
A gently soft and murmuring sound,
Making the stillness more profound.
I hushed my breath ! again it came !
My heart beat faster still the same
Low gentle murmur met my ear,
Ap roachiug nearer mid tnor lien" ;
A single sound, yet soft und clear,
And strangely .raught with memories dour.
A flood of clear and silver light
Then burst upon my raptured sight,
Tilling my little chamber quite,
And in that light a bird was seen :
Not "grim and black with stately mien,"
But purely white and benutiful,
With look so mild and dutiful :
A lovely bird with plumage white,
In that culm, still and clear tnootiilhgt.
Floating a moment around my head
It rested opposite my bed.
Beside n picture lovelier
'I'll n n henthen god, and holier;
Two beuulions babes, whose sinless eyes
Bespeak them still in I'aradise
W'lioe loving, soft and gentle eyes
Tell where that land of beauty lies.
There sat that radiant, white winged bird
I listened, but no sound 1 heard
And then 1 spoke : "Sweet bird," I said,
"From what far country hast thou fled I
Whence coines thou ur.d why came's thou
here ?
Cnn'st thou bring aught my soul to cheer 1
lias thou strange news ? speak, gentle dove,
And the bird answered "God is love."
"They tell me so," 1 faintly said.
"Hut joy has flown, and hope is dead,
And I a in sick, and sad, and weary,
And life is long and dark and dreary
Think not thy words my spirit move?"
.Still the bird answered "Uod is love."
"Some dearly loved are far away.
And some, who Tondly near me stay, .
Are sick, und sad, and suffering,
While I um weak olid murmuring.
I'.ach for the other grieves, and tries
To stay the tears that fill his eyes
Why comes not comfort from ubnve !"
Firmly, but mournfully, the dove
l'istiiictly answered "God is love."
I started up "The world," I said,
"Though beautiful it once was made,
Is full of crime and misery now,
Want sits on many n iiaggared brow ;
The warrior wields his bloody sword,
Slaves tremble at the tyrant's word
Vice honored, virtue scorned, we see
Why are these ills allowed to be 1"
lie raided his head, that soft eyed dove,
As though my boldness he'd reprove.
Then bowed und answered "God is love."
"Forgive," I said, in accents mild,
"1 would 1 were again a child.
I've wandered from the heavenly track,
And it is lute to journey back ;
My wings are clipped, I cannot soar,
I strive to mount, but o'er and o'er
My feeble wings 1 raise in vain
I flutter, sink and fall ngaiii !"
In low, but earnest tones, the dove
Still soltly murmured "God is love."

HEROINE OP THE SALUDA.
la the district of Fairfield, South Carolina,
there lived during the American devolution,
an honest old German farmer, amidst all the
infections a tory atmosphere, remuined true
to the cause of the land of his adoption, an
earnest, ardent, uncompromising advocate of
independence, and ullhough not under arms,
a valuable auxiliary in the struggle for A me.
riean nationality. His uutno was Hans Gri
ger, and ullhough himself tin emigrant, he
had reared uround hi in u u family of sons and
daughters of American soil, all of whom par
took of the old man's politicul sentiments.
In fact, his household presented whut in those
days might bo regarded utmost as an anumo
ly, an entire family of true blue whip. But
with ull hiszcul ur.d whole heurtcduess, Huns
was constrained to do whut he did with great
cautiou and secrecy, for he lived among those
who would catch al any disloyalty to the K ing
as a pretext for violence and outrage, The
sufety, not only of his property, but of his
person and thu persons of those who relied
ou him far protection, were at stake. There
wero tory upon him, und the vindictive lialreu
of that class of spirits towards anything like
rebellion, is too well known lo coubl Itic re
sult of any appearunce of disloyalty on the
part or the quiet old lurmer. no lie Kept
his own conusel, and when urged by them to
tuke purt in the royal cause, he excused him
self, on account of old age, and the duties de
volving upon him in the career of his young
uud up-growing family. But on tho other
hud he lost no opportunity or conveying in
formutiou to the commanding officers or po
triot farces, which from time to time, enter
ed the district in opposition to the invaders
of the province.
Kmily Griger was the eldest child of this
faithfal, but the unobtrusive old patriot. At
that time eighteen years or age, she had been
reared in all the peculiar virtues or German
housewifery, and German economy. She
could bake the bread, brew the malt, wush
the clothes, milk the cows, or if need be,
drive the oxen upou the plantation i( her fa
ther. Yet with all these solid uccoiiplish
meiits, those or a more delicate and e tie mi
uatu nature were not forgotten ; And in bcr
character were blended with the naeful the
most virtues and gentle attributes of her sex,
She possessed a tender heart and clear judg.
uieut; a live'y sense alike of bur duties to
her God, her couutry, aud her fallow mortals,
exhibiting a, character At once firm, free aud
amiable.
Al the time or which I write, an organized
baud or lories, sustained by a faw British
troops, had completely swept over the neigh
borhood district of Ninety Six, aud fortified
themselves in a village vt that name, from
which scouts continually scouriug tha whole
province, currying with them the brand or
tha incendiary and the dagger or the assassin;
the whole bemg under the command or the
infamous and notorious tory. John Cruger, a
, Dative of tho city of New York, at that time
holding a commission of I.ientcnnnt Colonel
from the enemies of bis nativo land.
To reduce this hord or villains and drive
them from their stronghold, the American
General, Greene, was dispatched, but with
force inadequate to the task. He had laid
siege to the fortress or Ninety-Six, but find,
ing it stronger than had been supposed; was
compelled to submit to the delay necessary
to the erection of counterworks, and finally
began the ossnult. But os the dotuils of IhiR
stern encounter ore familiar In history, 1 shall
not dwell on them ) suffice it to say, that
when (ho tory commander wbb on the point
of surrendering, information was conveyed to
him that Lord Itawdon, having heard of his
critical situation, was nt that moment near
at hand with a sufficient force for bis succor.
The effect of this information, whilo it umpir
ed the garrison with renewed energy, was
most disastrous npon tho besiegers, and Gen.
Greene found himself compelled to raise the
siege and withdraw his little force. lie has
tily crossed the Suluda river, and retreated
in the direction of the Fnoreo, leaving the to
ries still musters ol the district. Lord Haw
don, niter reaching the fortress nf Ninety Six
and finding all sale, set out in pursuit of Ge.li.
Greene, but evidently deemed it prudent to
give up the chase and turn his attention to
the occupation of Friday's ferry ut Graiiby,
and the concentration of a strong force at
that place, with the ultimate view nf sweep
ing tho entire continental power from tho
province. To l.revent this Man. leneriu
Greene determined to intercept thu expected
. .. 1 . ' .1
reinforcements of the British conin. under, and
accordingly halted ou the banks of the Salu
da, in the immediate vicinity of our old frieud
Huns Griger.
To accomplish the precautionary measure.
Gen. Greene found it necessary to send in
structions to Generals Marion and Sumpter,
who we:e then with their separate commands,
scorning the country somewhere between thu
Fdisto und Santee rivers j but the precise
position of either was unknown, and us the
entire district was overrun with predatory
parties of the enemy, tho conveyance of
message to either was u trust of gteat diffi
culty und danger. In fact tho attempt was
considered fatal to any one who should pos
sets tho hardihood to undertukc it. Not
wishing to force u duty so critical and hazar-
lloiw onnn uov rtf Lie iml. il i ct.ir i I pd ns tllpv
were, in consequence of their lute retreat from !
tho assault upon Ninety Six, thu General !
culled for volunteers who wi re willing to un
dertake il. The cull was for some time nn
swered only with muttered grievances.
Wearied with long and farced marched in Ihe
van of a pursuing e nemy, and discouraged by
a temporary reverse, eucli soldier clung to
the present momentary respite from hardship
toil and carnage. Nuno seemed willing to
undertake the feuiful responsibility.
But at this moment a new and unexpected
character appeared in the drama. A girl in
the garb of H peasant presented herself at Ihe
camp, and demanded nil audience Kith the
General. With a look of surprise, the pick
et inquired
"What have you to do with tho general ?"
'That I will tell him," was her answer.
"Good !" exclaimed the picket ; so he sum
moned the corporal, who conducted her to
the ollieer of the guard, who sent word to tho
oflicur of the day, who, after a brief parley,
gallantly couducted her in person to the
l"u
martiuo ol LJie tieneiul.
- ,ii
1 here was a look of
timidity, but not of feur, on tho faco of that
young creature, us she passed along the street
of Ihe camp under tho wondering eu.o of the
I idle Soldiery ; but her Step was firm and her
j bearing tuiuwed. It was uu strange thing to
i see u woniuu iu the camp ; but long before
tins visitor had reached headquarters the
circumstance of her imperative tlciniuid In
see Ihe General in person had been whi.-pcrcd
among the men, and their curiosity wus ex
cited. It was hard for them to conjecture what
mischief might be brewing uudi r that simple
uud homely gaib. It was at last gravely
concluded ihut she must be spy from Iho tory
cum p.
Gen. Greene was in no enviable humor ot
the moment of her arrival in front ol his
marque. Tho messages that he wished to
send to his two generals were of immense
importance, and, driven to vexation by what
he denominated thu pusiluuimous spirit of
men, who, one uud ull hud, by u tacit silence,
refused lo convey them, he was in the uct of
writing un order, detailing messengers lo
perforin the duty, when the unexpected visit
tor was announced. Not partaking of the
fancies of his -men, the Gem rul ordered thul
she should be immediately brought into his
presence, and accordingly she was ushered
into mo marque. Mie wus now reallv em- I J
barrusscd, but the General's vexation had
changed to a good uutured surprise by the
unexpected vi.-it, and he addressed her wilh
so much ease, thut in a moment, her confi
dence was restored, and she proceeded to
make known to object of the interview.
''General," shu said, "they tell us at the
farm that you want a person lo carry u mes
sage to General Sumpter."
"1 do indeed, my good girl, and I will pay
handsomely ony one who will perform thul
service for me."
"1 will do it, if you please, General, but not
far pay."
"Yes !"
"I reckon you know where ho is, and I am
sure I cun find him," shu added, without ap
pearing to notice his looks of astonishment.
"But do you know the danger of tho un
dertaking?" inquired tha veteran. "There is
not a man in my whole army that is willing
to perforin the required duly."
"I don't Ihink it's because they're ufraid to
sir, sho replied delicately. " l lie soldiers
are tired and worn out, nnd I don't blame
them for wanting a little lest. But I cun do
it, sir. and nobody will think or suspecting a
girl like me."
"You are a bravo girl ; who are your pa
rents t"
'.My father is Hans Griger. Y'our cump
is on a part of our pluntatiou."
"Hans Griger ! I kaow him well !" exclaim
ed the General. "As true a friend of our
cause as any man in America, as 1 have more
thau once occasion to testify. If ho is will
ing, you shall have your with, if il were only
an example aud a rebuke to the cowardly
drones that are swarming around toe."
"1 have my father's consent alreu- ha
said. "He told me I might asl' . ile
would havd sent one or my brot' ' ihe
only one that is large enough is in
General Bumpier' army. So il ; ' -,
Fll set out immediately "
"My child," said the General, "the i"Jij I
Inn uvers fur vou. indenendeiit of the di lie'
you must incur. Why, it is at I. t a'"j.iujB
uey of three days, and most or it t&rouri a
wilderness." -
"I'm not afraid of the woods, sir, and as to
the journey, I wus brought up to hard work,
and (or that matter, to bard riding toa. in
deed, sir, 1 think I can do the message for
you better thuo a soldier, far I am hearty,
uu4 they tra wear; ; besides a soldier will
surely be taken prisoner if Iip is seen by the
lories, and your dispatch will be lost."
'Well, you shall go nrter you have seen
your futher again, and obtained a renewal of
his consent. There is my message already
written, but in cuse you should lose it lit
any means, I will n lut'e its contents. I know
I may trust u daughter of Hans Griger, add
a heorine like you. Should yon lose thi
dispatch and afterwards succeed in roticliiiiB
tho camp, tell (Jen. Sumpter. that Lord
Kawdoii is moving towards Graiiby nnd he
must hasten to tluow his division In advance
of they enemy and defeat the object. Gen.
Marion and C'ul. Lee will be at hand tonssixt
him. Kememher these words, my brave girl,
mid depart as speedily ns you may. God
bless you 1 Go." With these word he pres
sed her hand heartily. She seized tho 'pre
cious packet, saying eagerly ;
"You shall soon hear Trom me, General,"
and hastily quilling the camp, she returned
to the house of her father. In less than half
au. hour litis noble girl was on the buck or a
fleet horse, and WfMi the despatch carerully
concealed in her dress, she dashed down the
roud on thu banks of the Suluda. It wits not
long before the circumetiinco was noised
through the camp and many a bravo fellow
who had never feared to face deuth on tho
buttle field, hung his head in very shame
that a young girl should seize upon the glory
of such an cntetprif-e. Volunteers were now
offered ns thick as blackberries, only one of
whom was ucceptud, und he was disputched
to Gen. Mai ion. It was urged that the girl
,.1 ..... ..... :t . . .1 l... . . . ,
could not possibly reuch Sumpter's camp, and
lienco it would bu necessary In send some
one else in the same direction, but the Gene
ral settled that by saying that she was as
good ns uny two men in the army, and whe
ther she reached her destination or not,
nobody should shur her laurels.
Tho first day of Finily's journey passed
awuy without uny incident of moment, and
the night she passed ut the house of u planter.
But before the close of the second d..y, while
paesing through a wood, she fell suddenly
upon a band of mined lories. Coming from
the direction of Gen. Greene's camp, their
suspicions were excited, and leveling their
muskets ut her, they commanded her to halt.
This she did without hesitation, or unv cm-
j barrussment, when one of the fellows, seizing
the reins of her horse, demanded whence she
cull,e nnd whither she was going,
, t'0,m! fl'0,n 'J lather, Huns Gri
riL'er. nnd
I go to my In-other, who is near Orunucbunr."
was her brief response.
"Before you proceed, will you go with ns
lo my house. I am sure n;y wife will be
glad lo see you," said the tory.
Assured by I heir muniier that they intend
ed no personal harm to her, she consented
with apparent cheerfulness. The house to
which they led her, lay about half n mile
distant, nml having arrived there, she was
immediately locked up in u close room. Ap
prehending that she might be subject to a
search, the quick minded girl ate, piece by
piece, tho disputcb that had been entrusted
to her by Gen. Greene, and scarcely hud she
finished the dry uud unsavory repast, when
the expected wife of the tory entered Ihe
apartiin ut und commenced n close and pry
ing scrutiny of her clothes, hair and person.
Thus much we must pluco lo the credit of
the lories, who, with ull their brutality tv
wards thu patriots, had the delicacy to leave

! Finding nothing of a suspicious character
upon her, she was ut length permitted to
' depart, and on the following day, she arrived
safely at the camp of General Sumpter, nnd
delivered to thu officer word for word, the
I message with which she had been entrusted,
j The message had much lo do in Invoking
the power of the British, und closing the
account of the devolution in South Carolina,
j The plans of the enemy were frustrated ; the

Kmily Griger was far u long time t lie toast or

I mine Saluda," was never forgotten by the
. brave und faithful pulriot, General Xathau-

Can Cancers bo Cured P
We occasionally meet a person afflicted
with that terrible disease, n cancer, uud few
things to which flesh is heir excite our svni.
pal lues more. Cancers have hern cured, w e
believe, without the use of tho knife, anil
j perhaps some of those who assume the title
(if caueer doctors have succeeded in assuaging
i the nuins of tho disease, und in some ruse
perhaps, etl'ecling a permanent cute.
j Not long since an article appeared in the
Milwuiikio Free Itemncrut, which Ihe Provi-
deuce I 'ast thinks of sufficient iinpmtuoce to
receive general notice. We agree with the
Punt, and therefore place on record the rem.
edy, advising each reader to cut out the
article und pieserve it, ns by so doing he may
be able to minister to some suffering brother,
und perhaps save life itself. j
Tho statement of the Dimnoat is, that
some eight mouths ago, Mr. T. B. Mason
who keeps a music store on isconsin street.
and is u brother ol tne well-known Lowell
Mason ascertained that ho had a cancer on
his face the size or a pea. It was cut out by
lr. Wulcotl, and the wound partially healed
Subsequently, it grew again, and while he
was in Cincinnati on business, it attained the
size of a hickory nut. He remained there
since, Christmas, under treatment, and now
returns perfectly cured. The process is this ;
"A piece of sticking plaster wus put over the
cancer, with a circular piece cut out or the
centre a little larger than the cancer, saYtbat
the cancer and n small circulur rim of healthy
skin next to it were exposed. Then a plaster
made of chloride of zinc, Llood-rnot and
wheat flour, was spread on a piece of muslin
of the size of this circular opening, and ap
plied to the cancer far twenty four hours.
On removing it the cancer will be found In
be burnt into, nnd appear of the color and
hardness of an old shou sole, und the circular
rim outside of it will appear white and par
boiled, as if scalded by hot steam. The
wound is now dressed, und tho outside rim
soon suppurates, and thu cuticer comes out
in a hard lump, and the place heuls up. The
plaster kills the cancer, so that it sloughs
out liko dead flesh, and iie-er troirn attain.
Tho remedy was discovered by lr Fell, of
London, aud has been used by him far six or
eight years, wilh unfailing success, and not a
cuse has been known or the re appearance of
the canter, where this remedy has been ap
plied." All tiik Sauk. "You uro very handsome,"
said it gentleman to a lady. "Ah !" said the
lauy, "so you would say il you did not think
so." "And so you would think," answered
be, "though 1 should not say go."
A conceited fallow, on introducing bis
friend intu compuuy, suid, "Gentlemen. I as
sure you he is not sogreut a fool sb he seems."
Tha gentleman immediately replied! "That
i exactly the difference between my friend
aud oiyeolf."
A Cask ok ViKing to 1)eath. A few
months ago, n gentleman residing in the inte
rior or the Stato returned Trum California,

a sweet interesting creature as ever proved a
"well spring or pleasure" in a house-hold.
It was rumored that the mother or the child
was an Indian woman und the father it white
man. How that may be we know not j such
at least was the supposition. The gentleman.
Tor some reason, did not care to have the
child remuiu in his family, and brought her
to this city and placed her in the Orphan As
ylum, and promised to cull often to see her.
For a few days the life surrounding her seem
ed to furnish sufficient entertainment, but
it was soon uppapent that something was
lacking to satisfy her mind entirely avoid
which could only ba tilled by the presence of
some one whom she had learned to call "papo"
Sho became listless and tneluncholy, and tho
sports of the children fulled to please or in
terest. Visiters lo the Asylum petted tho
little l'ocuhontas, as she was culled, bnl their
attentions scarcely ever rallied her spirits.
Constantly upon her tongue was the name of
"papa. She grew weary and tired, and grad
ually faded, like a flower of her own moun
tains in autumn. There was no apparent dis
ease, but a perceptible waisting away of the
energies. The yvntkmnn, who hud left her
nt the Aslyuin had never called to see his lit
tie charge, and ulthoiigh she was nourished
and cared for Willi all the tenderness possible
she slowly drooped until . few dnys since,
when she died with the last fleeting brenth
still murmuring the name of "pupa," us she
had frequently done in her dreams. Ciiivin

Si-iciicAt.. The Petersburg papers notice
the fact tliut !r.. II. G. Leigh and James
Dunn, of Petersburg, have recently perform
ed two of the most oiiginal aud interesting
surgical opera ions ever attempted in the
United States. The first was upon auicvus
or un enlargement of the blood vessels, upou
an infant nine months of ago of Mrs. Granger.
The offcclion appeared upon Iho iufunt3 left
cheek, und being congenital thu spot bad in
creased from the size of a dune to that or the
egg of ii goose, farming an unsightly protu
berancp, and rapidly extending over the cheek
foreshadowing indubitubly eurly death, iT not
removed.
It was removed, as fallows: The nievus
was first pierced trunsversley with five large
needles, which were suffered to remain thus
forly-eiglit hours. A ligature ntutched to
each needle was then drawn through and
made to take the pluco occupied by them, re
maining for eight days, nt the expiration of
or which they were drawn partially out, a
practice of vaccine virus placed upou each
aud drawn carefully into the centre of the
na-vue. Ju the course oT a lew days the c-t-fects
of the vaccine mallei- became apparent, i
Ihe ptotrusion rupidly chunged its uppearauco j
became ut length a mere sore und is uow in a i
healing condition. I
1'he other was (hot of a little girl, ten
yenrs of age, daughter of Mrs. llelron, also ,
of Petersburg. While on infant she i cciden
tnlly buried her left arm from the wrist to ,
the elbow, and owing to improper treatment, j
when the wound healed, her hand wus drawn !
backwards by the scur so us to lie upon the
wrist. In. the course of time the little linger j
attached itself to the flesh of Ihe m m above j
the wrist upon which it rested, and evidently (
became entirely embedded beneath the skin, ;
leaving only a truce of its siluulion. These j
have been perfectly freed uud restored by the ;
operation.

writer in the Atlantic Monti. ly thus enlight
ens the belles of the street concerning the in
alienable rights of uicu lo look ul their piet
ty faces :
"There are soma very pretty, but unhappi
ly very ill-bred women, who dou'l uii.lerstuud
the laws of the road with regard to hand
some faces. Nature and custom would no
doubt agree in conceding to all males the
right of ut least two distinct looks nt every
comely female conn en. nice, without any in
l ruction of the rules of courtesy or the senti
ment of respect. The first look is necessary
to deliiie the porson of the individual one
meets, so us to uvoid her in passing. Anv
unusual attraction observed in a filet glance
is sufficient apology for u second not a pro
longed uud uu pert incut stare, tint an uppreel
ating homage ol tlio eyes, such n stranger
may inoffensively yield to to a passing image,
it is astonishing how morbidly sensitive some
vulgar beauties lire to Iho slightest demon
stration of this kind. When u lady walks
the stteets she leaves her virtuous indigna

enough that the street is a picture gallery,
where pretty women framed in pretty bonnets
are meant to be seen, and everybody bus a
right to see them."

You must know, the lust or those little debts, !
1 hut have been our lingering sorrow.
Is paid this night ! So we'll both go forth
With happier hearts to morrow.
O, the debtor is but a shaine fuced dog,
With the creditor's name on his collar J
While I am a king, and you are a queen,
For wo owe no man a dollar 1
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day,
With his wife and his Haunting daughter,
While we sat down to our covcrless bourd,
To a crust and cup of wuter ;
I saw that the tear-drop stood in your eye,
Though you tried your best to conceal it
I knew thul the contrast reached your heurt,
And you could not help but fael It J
But knowing now that our scanty fare
Has Treed my neck from the collar,
You'll join my laugh and help me shout
Thut we owe no man a dollar !
This neighbor whose show has dazzled your
eyes,
In fact is a wretched debtor ;
I pity him oft from my very heart,
And 1 wish that his lot were better.
Why, the man is the veriest slave alive,
For his dashing wife aud daughter
Will live iu style, though ruin should come
So he goes like a lamb to Ihe slaughter ;
But he feels it the tighter every day,
That terrible debtor's collar !
O, what would he give, could ha say with us.
That ho owed no mun a dollur 1
Yon seem amazed, but I'll tell you more ;
Within two hours 1 met him
Sneaking away with a frightened air,
As if a fiend hud beset him ;
Yet he fled from a very worthy man,
Vhom I met with the greatest pleasure
Whom I called by name and forced to stop,
Though he said he wus not at leisure.
He held my last note ! so I held him fast,
Till he freed my neck from the collar ;
Then 1 shook his hand ns I proudly said,
"Now, I owe no uiau a dollar 1"
Ah ! now you smile, for you feel the farco
Of the truth I have been repenting ;
I know that a downright honest heart
In that gentle breast was beating !
To morrow Fil rise with n giant's strength,
Tu follow my daily labor j
But, ere we sleep, let us humbly prny
For our wretched next-door neighbor;
Aud we'll pray far the time when nil shall be
free
From tho weight of the debtor's collar
When the poorest ahull lift up his voice nnj
cry.

I Usk or Salt in Cooking- Vki.-ktam.es. A
I German professor says that if one portion of
I vegetables be boiled in pure distilled or rain
; water and another in water tn which a I. Kin
salt has been udded, a decided difference is
perceptible in the tenderness of tho two.
Vegetables boiled iu pure water are vastly
inferior in flavor. This inferiority may go su
far in tho case or onions that tin y are ul nost
entirely destitute or either taste or odor,
though when cooked in salt water, in addi
tion to the pleasant salt taste, is a peculiar
sw. otness and a strong arom i. They als
contain more soluble matter than when cook
ed in pure water. Wuter which contains
1 4'JOth or its weight of salt is far better lor
