The Warning.
Touch it not, ye do not know
Unless you've borne a path like mine,
now aeep h curse, now wnu a woe,
It lurking in lliat ruby wine.
Look on my cheek, 'lis withered now,
It once was round and smooth as thine.
Look on my deeply furrowed brow,
'Tit all the work of treacherout wink.
I bad two tons, two princely boys,
At noble men as God e'er gave;
I taw them fall from honor's joys.
To fill a common drunkard's grave.
I had a daughter, young and fair,
At pure at ever woman bore.
"Where it she now! Did you ask me
where!"
Bend low, I'll tell the tale once more.
I saw that fairv child of mine
Linked to a kingly bridegroom's side ;
i Iler heart was gay and free as thine ;
Oh 1 would to Ood she then had died !
Not many moons had fill'd their horn,
While the upon his bosom slept;
'Twas on a darkly dismal morn,
She o'er a murdered hueband wept 1
Her drunken father dealt tlTeTdow ;
Iler brain grew wild, her heart grew weak, (
Was ever tale of deeper woe
A mother's lips had lived to speak!
She dwells in yonder daiksoaie walls;
Wo ray of reason oer lier doth auine;
She on her murdered husband calls;
'f was done by wine, bv OCHSkd wink !

THE HERODIS OF THE SALUDA.
Id the District of Fairfield, South Csmli.
na, there lived, during the American Revolution,
an honest old German fanner, who,
amidst all the infections of a tory atmosphere,
remained true to the cause of the
land of bis adoption, an earnest, ardent, uncompromising
advocate of independence,
and although not under arms, a valuable
auxiliary in the struggle for American nationality.
His name was Hans Griger, and
although himself au emigrant, he had reared
arouud him a family of sons and daughters
of American soil, all of whom partook of
the old man's political sentiments. In fact,
his household presented what in those days
might be regarded almost as an anomaly, |
Mi entire family of true bluo whig*. But, >
with all this zeal and whole heartedness, 1
liana waa constrained to do what he did 1
with great caution and aecrecy, for he lived
among thoae who would catch at any dia <
loyalty to the king aa a pretext for violence
and outrage. The aafety, not only of hi*
property, but of Uia peraon and the peraona i
of those who relied on him for protection, i
were at stake. There were tory eyes upon |
him, and the vindictive hatred of that class i
of spirits towards anything like rebellion, is i
too well known to doubt Hie result of any |
appearance of dislovaliy on the part of the <
quiet old farmer. 60 be kept his own eoun- 1
sel, and when urged by them to take part j
ia the royal cause, be excused himself on
aeoount of old age, and lite duties devolving 1
upon him in the career of his young but 1
growing family. But on tbe other band, he <
lost no opportunity of conveying useful ia- i
formation to the commanding officers of the
patriot force*, which, from time to time, entered
the District in opposition to theinvad re
of the province.
Emily Griger vu the eldest child of this
faithful, but unobtrusive oW patriot. At
that time eighteen years of age, she had
been reared in all the peculiar -virtues of
German housewifery, and German economy.
She could bake the bread, brew the malt,
wash the clothes, jpilk the cows, or, if need
be, drive the oxen upon the plantation of
her father. Yet, with all these solid accom
plishments, those of a mors delicata and ef
reminata nature were not fo>g.?u-n ; and in
her ebgraeter were blended with the ueeful
the rnoet virtuous and ganUe aUributes of
bar sex. She possessed a tender heart aUd
dear judgment; a lively sense alike of her
duties to her God, her eoontry and her fetid#
mortals, exhibiting a character at ouec
firm, free and admirable.
At the time of which I write, an organized
band of tories, sustained by a few British
troops, bad completely swept the neighbor*
ing districts of Ninety Six, and fortified
themselves in a village of that name, from
which scouts wero continually scouring the
whole province, carrying with them the
brand of an incendiary and the dagger of
the assassin ; the whole, being under the
command of the infamous and notorious tory,
John Cruger, a native of the city of New
Y^rk, at that time held a commission of
LieatennntColonel from the enemies of his
native land.
To reduce this horde of villains, drive
them from their stronghold, the American
General, Greene, was dispatched, but with
a force inadequate to the task. lie had
laid siege to the fortress of Ninety Six, but,
finding it stronger than had been supposed,
was compelled to submit to the delay necessary
to the erection of counterworks, and
f.r.n'.lT begAtt the assault. But. the details
of this stern encounter are familiar in history,
I shall not dwell upon them ; suffice it
to say that, when the tory commander was
an the point of surrendering, information
was conveved to him th*t
having heard of his critical situation, was, at
that moment, near at hand with a sufficient
force for his succor. The effect of this in
formation, while it inspired the garrison with
renewed energy, was moet disastrous upon
the besiegers, and Oen. Greene found himself
compelled to raise the siege and withdraw
his little force. He hastily crossed the
Saluda river, and retreated in the direction
Df the Enoree, leaving the toriea still mas
ters of the District. Lord Bawdon, after
reaching the fortress of Ninety Six, and finding
all safe, set out in pursuit of Geneial
Greene, but eventually deemed it prudent to
give up the chase and turn his Attention to
ihe occupation of Friday's Ferry, atGranby,
?nd the concentration of a strong force at
lhat place, with the ultimate view of sweeping
the entire continental power from the
province. To prevent this plan, General
Greene determined to intercept the expected
reinforcements of the British commander,
?nd accordingly halted on the banks of the
Saluda, in the immediate viciqity of our old
friend nans Griger.
To accomplish this precautionary roeas
lire. General Greene found it necessary to
tend instructions to General Marion and Slimier,
who were then, with their separate com
mands, scouring the country somewhere between
Edisto and Santee river; but the pre:ise
position of either was unknown, and as
ih? AnltrA num."' I -. -
?? vfcnuii |irOU(llU*
py parties of the enemy, the conveyance of
t message to either was a trust of great difficulty
and danger. In* fact, the attempt
aa* considered fatal to any one who should
xv*e*a the hardihood to undertake it. Not
wishing to force a duly so critical and hazirdous
upon any of bis men, dispirited as
hey were, in conseauence of their late re
'.real from the assault upon Ninety Six, the
General called for volunteers who were wiling
to undertake it. The call was for some
ime answered only with muttered grievances.
Wearied with long and forced inarches
n the van of a pursuing enemy, and discouraged
by a temporary reverse, each sollier
clung to the present momentary resoite
'rom hardship, toil and carnage. None
teemed willing to undertake the fearful responsibility.
But at this moment, a new and unexpected
character appeared in the drama. A
girl, in the garb of a peasant, presented her
teif at the ramn nnrt lUmindiJ an
with th? General. With a look of pleasant
lurprise, the picket inquired,
44 What have you to do with the General
P
44 That I will tell him," was her answer.
" Good P' exclaimed the picket: so he
summoned the corporal, who conducted her
to the officer of the guard, who sent word
to the officer of the day, who, after a brief
parley, gallantly conducted her in person to
the marquee of the General. There was a
look of timidity, but not of fear, on the face
of that young creature, as she passed along
the streets of the camp under the wondering
R*** ?f the idle soldiery, but her step
was firm, and her bearing unawed. It was
do strange thing to see a woman in the
camp, but long before this visitor had reached
headquarters, the circumstance of her
imperative demand to see the General in
person bad beeo whispered among the men/
and their curiosity was e*citetT It was
hard for them to oonjecture what mischief
might be brewing under that simple and
homely garb, and it was at laat gravely eon
eluded that abe mutt be a spy from the tory
earn p.
General Greene wae in no enviable humor
at the moment of her arrival in front of bit
marquee. The messages that be wished to
mod to bia tvo generate were of immeaae
importance, and driven to vexation by what
be denominated the pnailaniraoue spirit of
hie men, who, one nod all had, by a tacit
ilence, refused to oonvey tbem, he was in
tbe net of writing an order, detailing messengers
to perform the duty, when the unexpected
visitor was aonounoad. Not partekioe
of the fancies of bis men, the General
ordered that she should be immediately
brought into hi* presence, nod accordingly
She was ushevSd into the marquee. She

raPs vexation had been changed to a good
natured surprise by the unexpected visit, and
he addressed her with so much ease that in
a moment her confidence was restored, as
she proceeded to make known the object of
the interview.
M General," she said, " they tell us at tlie
farm that you want a person to carry a message
to General Sumter."
" I do, indeed, my good girl, and I will
pay handsomely any one who will perform
that service for roe."
" I will do it, if you please, General, but
not for pay."
" Yea P
u I reckon you know where he is, and I
am sure I can find him," she added, without
appearing to notice his looks of astonishment.
* But do you know the danger of the undertaking
!" inquired the veteran. " There
is not a man in mv wlmln ?rm%?
4 .-?.v 'umJ turn 10 mi"
ling to perform the required duty."
/' I don't think it's l>ecnuse they're afraid
tc, sir," she replied, delicately. 44 The soldiers
are tired and worn out, and I don't
blame them for wanting a little rest. ltul I
can do it, sir, and nobody will think of suspecting
a girl like mo."
u You are a brave girl; who are your parents
I"
u My father is Flans Criger. Your camp
is on a part of our plantation."
u Flans Griger! I know liira well 1" ex
claimed the General. ** As true a friend of
our cause as any man in America, as 1 have
more than once bad occasion to testify. If
he is willing, you shall have your wish, if it
were only as an example and a rebuke to
the cowardly drones that are swarming
around me."
w 1 have my father's consent already," she
said. " lie told tne I might ask you. He
would have sent one of iny brothers, but
the only one large enough is a soldier in
General Sumter's army. So, if you please,
I'll set out immediately."
M My child," said the General, " the task
is too severe for you, independent of the
danger you must incur. Why, it is at least
a journey of three days, aud most of it
through a wilderness."
" I'm not afraid of the woods, sir, and as
to the journey, I was brought up to hard
work, and for that matter, to hard tiding,
too. Indeed, sir, I think I can do the message
for you belter than a soldier, fcr I am
hearty, and they are weary ; besides, a sol
dier will surely be taken prisoner if he is
seen bv tlie tories, and your dispatch will
be lost."
" Well, you shall go after you have seen
your father again, and obtained a renewal of
his consent. There is my message already
written, but in case you should lose it by
any means, I will relate its contents.?
Should you lose this dispatch, and after
wards succeed in reaching the camp, tell
General Sumter that Lord Rawdon is moving
towards Granbv, and he must hasten to
throw his division in advance of the enemy,
and defeat his object. General Marion and
Col. Lee will be at hand to assist hira. Re
member these words, my brave girl, and de
part as speedily as you may. God bless
you I Go." With these words he pressed
her hand heartily. She seized the precious
packet, saying eagerly:
a You shall soon hear from me, General,'1
and hastily quitting the camp, she returned
to the house of her father. In less than
half an hour this noble sir! was on the back
r\f o float Kavco ?/! "
v* ? mvv* uviw, niiu Willi iuo g lopnvuu Litrefully
concealed in her dress, she dashed
down the road along the banks of the Saltida.
It was not long before circumstances
was noised through the camp, and many a
brave fellow, who had never feared to face
death on the battle-field, hung his bead in
very shame, that a young girl should have
seised upon the glory of such an enterprise.
Volunteers wore now offered as thick as
blackberries, only one of whom was accepted,
and he was dispatched to General Marion.
It was urged by some that the girl
could not possibly reach 8umterV camp, and
hence it would be necessary to send some
one else in the same direction, but the General
settled that by saying she was as good
as any two men in the army, and whether
she reached her destination or not, ftObody
should share her laurels.
The first day of Emily's journey passed
away without any incident of moment, and
the niglu she passed at the house of a planter.

from the direction of General Greene s
camp, their suspicions were excited, and lev
eling their muskets m her, they commanded
her to halt. This she did without hesitation,
or any embarrassment, when one of
the fellows, seising the reins of her horse,
demanded whence she oarae and whither
she was going.
" I oame from my fktbe/s, Hons Origer,
and I go to my brother, who it near Or*

mile distant, and, having arrived there, she
was immediately locked up alone in a room.
Apprehending that she might be subjected
to a search, the quick-minded girl ate, piece
by piece, the dispatch that had been enti tinted
to her by General Greene, and scarcely
had aha completed tho dry And unsavoryrepast,

Why Satan Never. Duncans Womsn.
Mohammed relates the following story as
an authentic and veritable piece of tradition,
illustrative of tiie fact that Sntnn has duties
to perform in the world, and he was never
known to be idlo and neglect litem, vix:
In the days of Mohammed there was an
Arab who had a very pretty wife. Satan
transformed himself into so exnet and accurate
a likeness of her husband, that she
could not, for the life of her, tell which of
the two was'her husband. Both claimed
her?i. e., the real husband and Satan in-his
likeness.
The case excited much interest in the
neighborhood ; but no solution of the diffl
sully could be obtained. At length the
;ase was brought before his Maiesty the
Prophet, for solution. Mohammed, after s
little reflection, held up a certain earthen
. 1_ - ? ----- - ??
|iu? 111 his rigiii hand, wjili a spout like n
ea pot, and said to them both :
44 Now, whichever is the real husband,
will enter this vessel by the spout, and thus
Mtablish his claim to the woman."
Satan having more capacity in that wnv
han the Arab of ical flesh and bone*, enterh1
at once into the t? a pot, as suggested.?
Hie moment that he entered, Mohammed
dnmd the ton of the spoilt nmj kept him
dint in.
But by the time Mobnmined had keptlfis
Excellency shut up a few days in that earthen
pot, it was ascertained that the world was
jetting wrong in its machinery.
Mohammed was therefore constrained to
let Satan out from his confinement, to take
liia necessary place in the management of
the affairs of the world ; hut befoie restoring
liitn to hi* liberty again, Mohammed extorted
a solemn premise from him, that he
would never trouble the 44 fair sex "any more,
l>ut confine himself to what be could do
tmong the 44 male."

and are indisputable to render the

the sun, the fact being demonstrated that if
it cools at the cooling rate of water, it would,
since the six thousand years of human history,
have lost a heat equivalent to four
limes the temperature of red hot iron.?
This must, of course, have affected the tem- .
peralnre of the earth to some extent. The
sun, indeed, need not be much hotter than
melted iron to send us the heat we have.?
The distinguished French astronomer, Arago,
lias shown, by application of the principles
of optics respecting the polarization of
light, that the sun is not a red hot ball, but
that it is surrounded by an atmosphere of
flame, through spots in which wo occasionally
sec the sun's dark bedy. The sun, then,
is not incandescent, and the comets shine
by light reflected from .it. How the sun
derives its supply of heating materials will
perhaps never be ascertained.
