Nothing True But Heaven. Thia -world is all a fleeting show. For man's illusion given ; The smiles of Joy, the tears of Woe, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow Thero's nothing true but Heaven ! And false the light on Glory's plume, As fading hues of even ; And Love, and Hope, and Beauty^ bloom, Are blossoms gathered for the tomb There's nothing bright but Heaven ! Poor wanderers of a stormy day 1 From wave to wave we're driven ; And fancy's flash,, and Reason's ray, Serve but to light the troubled way There's nothing calm but Heaven ! A Famisnert Crew Subsisting on Human Flesn. One of the most extraordinary in stances of human privation on record, and calamity that has rarely been equalled in the history of maritimp disaster, has been brought to light through Mr. John Saville, first officer of the American shit? Golden Hind who reached New Orleans, from Rio de Janeiro, on Tuesday. The New Orleans Times says : The wreck of the ship Golden Hind has already been recorded, but the unparalleled sufferings of the portion of uer crew who vet survive we be lieve has never yet been made public. In a long interview yesterday, Mr. Saville detailed all the fearful par ticulars, and we give the frightful storr in his own words. The American ship Gol len Hind, Captain Benjamin F. Robbins, left New York on the 12th of February, on a voyage to San Francisco. When in a latitude oi St. Catharine's we experienced aseries of heavy westerly gales, which continued for nearly a month with great violence. On the 13th of June last, when on the west side of Patagonia, and -at the Pacific entrance to the Straits of Magellan, the pint?is and gudgeons of the rud der gave way ana it floated off. Three days- were consumed in constructing a "temporary one of spare spars. It lasted about a week, but in another heavy gale this was also carried away, and we drifted. At the mercy of the winds. On the second day after this hist disaster, the Golden Hind struck between two rocks, one forward and one aft, on the western coast of Pata gonia. Three boats were hurriedly prepared, the men put on extra suits of clothes, laid in a small quantity of provisions, and at seven o clock that evening lowered away. In the hurrv of departure nearly all of oar. nauti cal instruments were left on- board, and, in fact, many articles absolutely necessary. There were three boats lowered, ;he first under the command of Captain Robbins, the second com manded by myself, and the third in charge of Mr. Webb, the second mate. Each contained seven men. Mr. Webb asserting that he knew the sit uation better than we did, parted company almost immediately, and it being then quite dark, we lay under the lee of the land until morning. The sea at the time we left the ship was breaking over her foreyard, and during the night she beat to pieces on the rocks. The next morning the last vestige of the Golden Hind had disappeared, and a search, which continued two days, was made for the other boat, but no trace of her could, be seen. We had long ere this concluded that she was swamped, and that her entire crew were drowned. Upon exami nation it was found that we had a small box and a bag of hard bread, the latter soaked with sea water, about twenty cans of beef, a little tea and coffee. An allowance of one cracker to each man and one can of beef to fourteen was at first issued, but this speedily decreased to half a cracker, and finally we did not taste meat more than once a week. A few days after we left the wreck the captain's boat was swamped, and we lost our compass, the only instru ment we bad, and a quantity of pro visions. An attempt was made to reach Sandy Point, a Chilian convict settlement, and the i-oaling station ol the Pacific mail .-reamers, about two thirds the way through the -traits of Magellan, but our course could only ' be determined by the sun and stars. It was then mid-Winter, the moun tains along; tve coast were covered with snow Hi.^ ice, and the.mercury must have been several degrees be low zero. We pulled close to land, working ali night in fair weather, and during a heavy blow landing and go ing into camp. There was plenty of scrub trees along the coast, and as we were provided with two hatchets and a good supply of matches, a fire was always to oe procured. During these visits we secured quite a good supply of shell-fish, resembling the muscle, but we found that this diet brought on constipation, and the entire party became unwell. For about twenty days the men held out admirably, batvin the bitter cold a number were frost-bitten, and our legs and feet were terribly swol len. On going into camp we con structed a tent of the boat's sail and a mizzen-ioyal sail wit,h the oars. A fire was built in the centre, and the fourteen men eat around it the night through. We suffered terribly from loss of sleep, as no one dared to re main away from the fire for fear of freezing to death, and the tent was too small, to hold all in a reclining position. At the end of the twenti eth day the general debility from in sufficient lood and the extreme pain in our limbs rendered the progress slow, and very often we camped for several davs at a time. The allow auce of bread had been reduced td a quarter of a cracker a day, and very often the men did without for a day or two togeth r to help ont the sup Sly, Their conduct throughout the readful ordeal was most courageous. Every man rendered implicit obedi ence, and although the ravages of hunger rendered each almost an ani mal, the geueral welfare was never lost sight of. Almost the entire month of July was spent in pulling in what we believed to be the direction of Sandy Point. The only human be ings we met were an Indian and two squaws in his canoe. They treated - us cordially, and willingly exchanged a duck for a small quantity of to bacco, but they had no other provis ions. We had secured from the ship two rifles, and one ot the crew shot a duck, but the powder became wet, 1 and our rifles were useless. A dead duck, found among the rocks, was also secured and eaten; but with the exception of the shell fish, thi:. was the onlv food we secured. In the latter part of JjUly the weather became fearfully' tempestu ous and after several days of fruitless buffeting, We went into our last en campment. , It was a terribly bleak and desolate spot, shut out from the sea by nigh cliffs, and filled with lof stunted trees. We found, however, a few roots, some Jberrjes, ?nd, strange to aay, a little celery^ and, not know ing . w?t^er-lfo-feg^ son ons or not, each man partook rav enously of whatever he could find. The high tides prevented our secu ring any shell fish and the few seals we saw were too timid to capture, but we secured water in abundance from the streams running down the mountain. Here the men became seriously ill. Their legs were swollen to frightful proportions ; but few could wear their boots, and a majority wandered about with their feet tied up in old cloth md canvas. Some, unable to walk at all, crawled upon their hands and knees. At length a man named White, a seaman, became delirious and shortly afterward died. The ground was so badly frozen that it was impossible to dig a grave, so we carried the body a short distance from the tent and laid it in the bushes. The nest one attacked1 was a young fellow we called Dan-sailors, you know, never give their full names ex cept on the articles-and he died within three hours after he became delirious. The carpenter,.a pian from Liverpool, was the next victim ; then we lost Charley, a German seaman, and finally another sailor called Frank. All of them died within ten days of each other, and all were lain side by side out in the bushes. As each one left us, we took his clothes to keep the living ones warm, but during all tbese days not one of us had a mouth ful of food. At length the steward, taking one of the men out with him into the brush, returned with slices of meat, which were roasted over the fire, and eagerly devoured. We all.of us knew we were sustaining life on the bodies of our dead companions, but no man asked a question. Sometimes we had it boiled and sometimes roasted. It ! tasted something like beef, but it makes me shudder now to think of it. When we had eaten almost all of I the last body, the schooner Eagle, of | Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, out seal fishing, hove in sight. One of our, men crawled up to the head^of, the rocks and, waving the American' flag, with the union down, attracted their attention. They picked us up and received us all with as great kindness as if we had been their own kindred. We found that we had pulled about two-thirds of the way through the Straits of Magellan, and were then within sixty miles of Sahdy Point. There, after the third day, the Eagle landed us, and the Chilian Governor at once provided us- with everything in the way of food and clothing we required. He would have sent us by the steamer to Val paraiso, but before she arrived the United States .--loop-of-war Ossipee Sut into port and took us onboard, aptain Robbins, myself, the steward and five seamen were left of a crew of twenty-one. From the time the Golden Hind went to pieces we spent forty-eight days in open boats, with only the subsistence I have named. The captain of the Ossipee shipped the six seamen, although all of them were on the sick list," and brought Captain Robbins and myself to Rio de Janeiro. There I met Captain Gorham Crowell, of the bark Colin B? McNeil, who kindly volunteered to bring me to New Orleans. The London Athenaeum states that the following'lines, by Moore, are published for the first time : When life looks lone and dreary What light can dispel the gloom ? When Time's swift wing is weary, What cbarm can refresh his plume?

MANIPULATED GUANO. 70 00 PHOENIX GUANO & COTTON SEED. It is well understood by thousands who have used PHOENIX GUANO in its pure and original condition for many years, that it is in that state a FIRST CLABB FERTILI ZER. Now, it is as certain as anything can be, that nothing Is required tffUeadded to the PHOENIX to increase its value, except Ammonia, and it is oqually certain that decomposed cotton seed, will furnish the ammonia at a far less cost than any other known substance, as the planter has the seed on hand, and it is worth very little except for manuring purposes. 1 would, therefore, recommend, in tbe strongest terms, the use of this combina tion br compost. Its preparation will cost the planter but a trifle, and he will have a manure of the greatest value at very small cost. It was extensively used the last season and is pronounced as being superior to all other fertilizers by those who used it. It can be easily, simply and cheaply prepared as follows : Wet the seed thoroughly with water. When it is well soaked (after wetting the seed it will be best to let it remain in bulk several days before mixing* mix well together ten bushels of the seed and one bag (200 pounds) guano. MixTn this pro portion until the required quantity is prepared, transferring the successive mix tures to apile or heap, under cover, to remain until required for use,-the longer it remains in bulk before using the1 better, but it ls pot necessary that it .'should re main in bulK'any length of time, in fact sonra planters HATVB AFPLTED--rf AT ONCE AFTER MIXING with great success. Use SOO to 400 pounds of the Compost per acre. 1ST Farmers, try the Phoenix Guano and Cotton Seed-and you will never use any other Fertilizer, j \ T j* 3 I \ Pavment may be made at any time before the maturitv of the notes, and a dis count at the rate of one-and-one-half per cent, per month-will ,be allowed for the unexpired time.
