THK KNOW NOTHING CREED.

The success of the Know Nothing

is said to be about this.

HORRORS OF THE aUANo TRADE.

We have received full confirmation
OF the horrors reported to be IN the

with the guano trade at the Chincha

The contractor has imported China

They are hired for FIVE years, at the
rate Of s48 per annum. They COM

ano TO dig and wheel to a distance Of
over one-eight Of a mile. 1t is all, or
nearly all, so hard that 1t has to be
picked up; and if they do not accom-
pIish these five tons by 5 o'clock p.
H.. they are logged with raw-hide
whips, some five feet long. receiving
one dozen stripes, each of which
starts the blood; then they are driven
back to finish their work. The guano
has avery bad effect upon them,
swelling their legs and arms, aud Civ
ing them bad sores on their legs, feet,
and hands. Notwithstanding all these
however, if they can get along they
are compelled to- finish their task
Our informant says: 81 have known
as many as thirty logged in one day.
They have no Sunday allowed. with
the exception OF one in year, the
same work going on on Sunday as du-
ring the rest Of tho week. The con-
sequence of this ill-treatment is sui

"Ah me.

Athrlll, voiecless challenge and reply,
And sudden parting aftor."
LATE IN the month Of November, q
large aeshy man, with sharp, black eyes,
ruddy la;e, and OF quick muscular mo-
tion,--mounted on an old black horse -
was seen just Al night entering the viii
lage OF Harwoad. The severely sharp.
weather and the rough travelling had
nearly overcome bis physical nature,
which induced him TO turnin for a nights
repose at the drst public house. He.
feined his horse up to the inn OF George
Parks, dismounted. put his head in at the
door, and said, "Halloo! landlord,
can you kesp me end my horse to-
nightl'

time taking the horse by che bride TO
lead him To the barn.
The stranger walked into the bar
room, and there found three individuals,
who had the appearance oi being hard
drinkers, seated aroInd cheerful fire
that was burning brskiy on the hearth.
The lattice work, or grated bar, Ia one
corner oi the loom, The full bottles on
the shelves, the smuky walls, the broken

il was public house kept for more the
actual accommodation OF ncighDorhood
guzzlers than tor travellers. The three
lndiylduals had monopolized the fire,
which compelled the stranger, though
cold aud iatigueJ, TO take seat on a
box in one corner ofthe room.
When The landlord came in, he snarl-
ed out. in an angry tone, "zene HnG,
why don't You hitch back, and give this

6rsrLE showers are descending .
On tho samished earth;
Pure and healthful summer showers,
Who can toll your WORTH
The deep shunder's distant booming
We with pleasure greet;
withesed nosers sgdn ars blooming,
All the aIr around peffaming
With their odors sweet
Not The least Of Natures blessings
Is the gentle rain,
From the clouds descending sofily
Over hill and plain.
o, o'e the merry splashing
OF the pearly drops,
As they come down pattering, dashlns,
In the glorious sunlight flashing,
Through shv green irso-topsi
While the summer showers are faliiny
Over aeld and wood,
Let our thankful hsafts be singing
Songs OF gratitude:
FATHER blessings without measure
BY thy hands are strown;
Every true, undying pleasure,
Every bright, unfadlng treasure,
Comes from thee alone.

Nor murmers that o ruthless doom,
Should snatch away the young and fair.
So uncomplaining in her woe,
So meek and lovely in distress,

Would she return her faded eye,
And be relieved of all her ills,
Oh, let her be advised to try

The First Test.

Finding this medicine usefut to myself at once
gave it to several invalid friends About this time.
earnestly solicited to give advice in reference to
a child. eight years of age This child was Sc
verely afflicted with Scrofua humOr. of very Sc
type. the humor showing itself on all parts of
the surface and then suddenly disappearing. The
child very sick. and it was thought doubtful
whether she would live The humor rcsembled black
specks of mortified flesh. In addition to some other
remedies. gave the child this Syrup for about six
school occasionally The swelling of her limbs ceas
edand she restored to health The family that
they her life. with Gods blessing. to my remedies
This test satisfied that the Rock Rose possessed
specific powers for Scrofulous humOrs. then tested
it in of Cutaneous Eruptions. In Measles
Chicken PoX. Canker. Sore Mouth. Erysipelas. Salt
Rheum. Piles. &c In all these with perfect
success. After testing this syrup for more than a
year wrote Mr.. Myers (Oct Z, 1S50) enthusiastic
ally. not expecting my letter would be published.
that his Syrup a Pankorite." dH-heGLng, and
gave him the result of its operation in several In
stances stated in that letter that it was invau
able a remedy in Cutaneous Eruptions. Erysipelas
Salt Rheum and other disorders included in the va
ried family of diseases known Scrofua. &c; that
in Dyspepsia. is acted with wonderful efficacy" My
opinion of its value for the above-named diseases,
remain unchanged. and the same as when wrote MIR.
Myers in Oct 1850 do not recommend ii for all
the ills of our suffering humanity but l unhesitat-
ngly say. that remedy in Scrofuous affections,
believe it superior to any known curative agent.
1t has been sufficiently tested by domestic practice
to establish its adoption to extensive usefulness in
mitigating human suffering and removing disease.
