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." cboluttonavi) hctcj). 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 ,i... ........ r .i r .1... n. r., nun nui mil vi ioti in-lain, ui una mri lo , , 1 b ! 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 j forces in the province were concentrated, uud I the buttle of the Ku'.aw Springs fallowed. Kmily Griger was far u long time t lie toast or the palri.it army Jn the South ; mid the "He I mine Saluda," was never forgotten by the . brave und faithful pulriot, General Xathau- iel Greene. 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, bringing with him a little pratling Indian girl 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 uatti (Jazttle. 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. WiiK.x LaI'IKS Siiui i.I) i:k Lookkii At.
