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?
'Tis woman, whose a we.j. ness bea met h
On all that we feel or see,
And if man of heaven e'er dreameth,
'Tis when he thinks purely of thee,
O Woman !

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. The option' of paying injCotton will jbe aJipwe/I by contract when
desired. "

JUST published, a new edition of Dr.
Culvenvell's Celebrated Essay on
the radical cure (without medicine) of
SPKRMATORBHOA or IMPOTENCY, Men
tal and Physical incapacity. Impediments
to Marriage, etc; also, CONSUMPTION,
EPILEPSY and FITS, induced by self-in
dulgence or sexual extravagance.

6 cents. . .
The celebrated author, in this admira
ble essay, clearly demonstrates from, a
thirty years' successful practice, that the
.alarming consequences of self-abuse may
bo radically cured without the dangerous
use of internal medicine or the applica
tion of the knife; pointing out a mode
of cure at once simple, certain, and ef
fectual, by means' of which every suf
ferer, no matter what his condition may
be, may cure himself cheaply, privately,
and radically. , ? ?
