BY JACK HU HP n Rtgg.
All creation and Iha balance of mankind
were, early one morning, aroused from the
dullness usually pervading the pious, prim
and peaceful town of East Nutmeg, by the
cry of—
" What’s it all about?” “ When did they
cornel” “ How many are there ?” “What

“ The Know-Nothings ?*’
11 Know-Nothings'!” says a native*
“Know-Nothings.”
“ Well, I’d give a fo’pence lo know,” con*
linued the native, “ what in sin it’s all about?”
11 0, you hav’nl seen ’em, eh V' says a jol
ly,round visaged, bright-eyed individual, who,
with other strangers, and natives of East,Nut
meg, were gathered in a knot about the depot,
discussing the topic which had in a single
night came, saw, and took the town.—
“ Hav’nl seen ’em V
“ Seen who 7” says the native.

“Pshaw!” said the jolly man, “I don't
mean that sort of work. I suppose you are
like the rest of the Know-Nothings, too sly,
eh, to be caught 1”
“ Squire do you chaw?”
“ Yes,” said the jolly-looking man.
“ Hand us yeour tobacco, then.”
“ Yes, I dori’t chaw.”

There can be no cure of-cholera without
quietude.—the quietude of lying on the back.
The physician who understands his calling
is always on the look out for the instincts of
nature; And he who follows them most and
interferes with them least, is the one who is of
lenest successful. They are Worth more to a
Him Ihan aH the rigmarole stories which real
or imaginary invalids pour in upon the phy-
sician'a ear with, such facile volubility. If,
for example,a physician is called to a speech
less patient—a stronger about whom no one _
can give any information]—ho knows, if. the j.
breathing Is long, heavy and .measured, that ■
the braitt is in danger; if he breath as quick
from the upper pan of the chest, the abdo
men; needsdltbniioii; or if the abdomen itself j.
malrily moves in respiration, the lungs are
suffering. In violent cases of inflamatioti of
the bqweli, the patient shrinks involuntarily c
from any approach to that part of his person, t
These are the instincts of nature, and are in. ,c
valuable guides in the treatment of disease. I
Apply this principle locho!era,oreven com- I
mon diarrhoea, when the bowels do not act 1
■more than three or four limes a day; .the pa- '
tient Teels such an uowilingness to moiion that <
ho even rises from his seat with the most un- 1
conquerable reluctance; and whom he has, •
from any cause, beenmbving about considers- I
bly, the first moment of taking a comfortable I
heal is perfectly delicious, and he feels as if he i
could Stay there always.Tlje whole animal I
c/eation is subject, to disease, and the fewest
number, comparatively; speaking, die of sick- I
ness, and yet instinct is,their only physician,
Perfect, quietude, then, on tile, back, is the (
