With such a queer nnmr, yon would hardly m/p]l 0.1C /low much, after all, a Know-nothing knows: He knows that the country has nothing to hope, 'Till we've banished the papists and poisoned the Pope; He knows that all priests are merely the tools Of the devil to worry Know-nothing fools; That "listers of Charity" ought to be kissed; That monks should be murdered, and nuns should be Hissed; That the calendar Saints of aueient renown All pious "Americans" ought to "put down,"? 'Till the last of the crew is imprisoned or dead. And even St. Nicholas yields to Saint Ned !* He knows that a "furriner" ought not to go to The polls, though as brave as Pe lvalb or l>e Soto; Thinks good Lafayette was the vilest of califs, And knows that "the Puritans" must have' been natives I llo knows immigration is a dreadful expense, And dosn't admit of the slightest defence ; Can tell, to a penny, exactly liow tnueh We lose every day hy the pestilent Dutch; liow a pauper appears with his rags and his tatters on, What it costs to feed "Pat," and to board "Mrs. Patterson 1" JVoio who, from hix title, would ever eiijtjtouc Jime many queer thini/s a Know-nothing know? fc Xcd Dimtline, the godly founder of the eect of Know-nothings. MISOELLANY. Cottage Conversation. As I journeyed lair 0:1 a summer evening, meditating on the beauties of the prospect around me, while they gradually faded from my sight tluough the approach of darkness, it grew suddenly quite gloomy, and a blaek cloud hanging over my head threatened a iicavy shower of rain. The big drops began tu urn, auu ;?n open sueu aujoinmg to a labourer's cottngc offering 111c a sesaonable shelter, I dismounted from my horse, and ... found it l.irgo ouough to protect. hi in as ; well as myself. The circumstances reminded me of the happy privilege of the believing sinner, who finds "refuge from the storm and Wast of the terrible ones in the love of bis Redeemer," which prepares him "a covert from storm and from rain." I went in unperceived: the door of the cottage was half open, and T heard the voice of a poor man, his wife, and some children within. I was hesitating whether to go into the house and make myself known, or to enjoy in solitude a meditation on the foregoing comnarlcnn *v?*r ol*1 1 * A Milivil inj oiiuniiuil iiilll urOUgUL tO my mind, when these words, spoken in a calm and .-iffectionate tone, struck me with mingled pleasure and surprise, and determined me not to interrupt the conversation :? "Indeed, wife, you are in the wrong. Riches would never make us happier, so long as the Lord sees it good we should be poor." "Well," replied the wife, "I can see 110 harm in wishing for more money and better living than we have at preseut. Other people have risen in the world; and why should not we? There's neighbour Sharp has done well for his family, and, for any thing I can see, will be one of the richest farmers in the parish if he lives; and every body kuows ho was once as poor as UtA nvn 1 T * * ?.?. nuuu juu aim i are Jaoounng and toiling from morning to niglit, and can but just get enough to fill our children's mouths, and keep ourselves coarsely clothed, and hardly that." "Wife," answered the man, "having food and raiment, let us therewith be content. And, if it pleases God that even these things should fall short, let us submit ourselves to God in patience and well-doing, for he gives us more than we deserve." "There, now you are got to preaching again," said the woman; "you never give me an answer, but you must always go to your Bible to help you out." M A nrl T ? " * vr ucio uiiu x so wen s replied the husband: "is it not God's own word for - * AV our instruction V "Well, tliat may bo, but I don't liko so * much of it,'' answered she. f'And X do not like so little of it as I see j, and hear from you," returned tho man.tliat book. has taught me that it is . >?t^?,nonor and comfort to bo a poor man; J and by.the bldssing of the spirit of God, -1 Relieve and feel it to- be true.

"I think it an honour, and I feci it noinIbrt to be in that very station of life which my Saviour Jesus Christ was in before mo. lie did not como into tho world as one that was rich and great, but as a poor man who had not where to lay his head. I feel a blessing in my poverty, because Jesus, like me was poor. Had I been a rich man, perhaps 1 should never have known or loved him. 'For not many mighty, nor many noble arc called.' God's people are chiefly found among the base things of the world and things which are desired. This makes my poverty to bo my comfort. ' besides, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to tliein that love him ? This thought makes my poverty aUo to be my honor. "Moreover, to tlie poor the gospel was and is preached, and to my heart's delight 1 tind it to be true, every Sunday of my life.

I cannot forget what Christ once said, 'IIow hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.' "O, my dear wife, if you did but know how to set a right value upon the precious promises which God has made to the poor, how thankful should I bo! "The expectations of the poor shall not perish, lie delivereth the poor and needy from him that spoilcth him. lie has prepared of his goodness for the poor. The poor among men shall rejoice in the lloly One. For he became poor that we, through his poverty, might be rich: not in gold, but in grace. "These promises comfort my soul, and would make me happy, if I were deprived of that which I now enjoy. I can trust my Saviour for this world as well as for the next. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall lie not with liim freely give us all things ? The Lord, of his mercy, bless you, my dear Sarah, with the grace of a contented mind!" Here the gracious man stopped; and whether affected by her husband's discourse, or by any other cause, 1 know not, but sin.' made no reply, lie then t-aid, "Come, children, it is our time for rest; shut the door, and let us go to prayer." ' Forgive me," said I, laying hold of the door, as the child was obeying her father's orders, "if I ask leave to make one in your family devotions, before I travel homeward. 1 have heard you, my friend, when you knew it not, and bless God for the sermon which you have this night preached to my heart." The honest labourer blushed for a moment at this unexpected intrusion and declaration, but immediately said, "Sir, you arc welcome to a poor man's dwelling, if you coinc in the name of the Lord." I just looked around at the wife, who i.. t.~i..i i >? ? .tvviiicu lu uu nuu ilt'li ill illy bUUUCIl UppClU'ance, and the six fine children who sat near her, and then said, "You were going to pray; I must beg of you, without regarding mo, to go on as if 1 were not here" The man, whom I could not but love and reverence, with a simple, unaffected, modest i and devout demeanour, did as I requested him. llis prayer was full of tender affection and sincerity, expressed with great Scriptural propriety, and was in all respects such as became the preacher of those sentiments which I had overheard him deliver to his wife just before. When he had finished, each of his children, according to tho good old patriarchal custom of Letter days, kneeled down before him in turn to receive a father's blessing. It was now late, and the rain was over. I gave the poor man my blessing, and received bis in return. I wished them good night, and went onward to my own bouse, reflecting, with much self-abasement of heart, what an honor and comfort it is to bo a poor man rich in the faith. Aniuils of the Poor. A Singular Phenomenon. We havs never secu in print a noticc of the following strange fact, although every steamboat man acquainted with Green Iliver navigation, can verify its truth. Just above the locks, when the river is in a certain stage, very low, for several miles, steamboats shut down their furnaee doQrs and allow no torches to bo lighted, for fear of what the deck hands call "setting the river on fire!" Frequently boats using torches or keeping their furnace doors open at this particular place, have found themselves engulphed in blue flames, greatly to the alarm of the passengers, and in several instances setting tho steamer on fire In some instances the passengors have only been prevented by the strenuous exertions of the officers from leaping overboard in their alarm. The cause of this singular phenomenon is simply this:?Tho bottom of the river -i - ?vw?'? wvuiou wuu iorest leaves nnd rubbish to the depth of some inches, probably several feet. Boats in low water run through this bed of vegetable matter, their wheels stirring it up thoroughly. An inflammable gas is thus permitted to escape, which, on communication with a flame, at; once takes fire, and burns with a blue blaze. At Buch time the boat is stopped and the flame ceases.?When out, the boat goes <Jn again, taking the precaution mentioned above. Unless allowed to continue some little time, this burning gas is not apt to .communicate its flame to the wood, but it is quite suffix cient to seriously alarm those not acquainted with its cause.?-Bvaiwville (Tnd,) Journal.

Whitfield's celebrated Wuverly, in the spring of 1818?Waverlv by old Bertrand, of Ken * luvrv > , viuui ij) i)iiiuKi;uni t} in'i inum by tfic renowned horse Sir Arcliy; his <lniu Klizn, own meter to tlie celebrated running horse Gullatin, by imported Bedford. Jocassee's dam was got by Bedford, a descendant from the renowned Kirksey's colt, and lie by the imported lJcdford ; bin grand-dam by Phenomenon, and he by Sir Arcliy; his g. g. dam by Leopard, and lie by the celebrated Quicksilver, a borne of great renown in his day. From this pedigree it will at once appear that .locassec has descended from a pure anecstry. ns much so as any horse in the country. Waverly, the sire of Jocassee, stands unrivalled at the present day in this country, having nb- j tuinerl a premium in 1841 at Greenville, ami also at Newberry in 1840, also at Pendleton and Anderson, being the best stallion exhibited on carli occasion. Jocassee is placed so low in price as to be within the reach of every man who is able to own a mare, and in fact very low for a horse of his blond, and in form and figure, size, beauty and color all combined can vie with any horse. Kvcry person desirous of raising liue stock. r will (iii wcii id patronise mis luil-uiootfoil and beautiful stallion. A. C. HAWTHORN. Due West, S.
