An Ode to All Mankind

BY j. C. YOUNG ND
All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
AS It's your case alone, not mine plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Man doom'd has to bare, when the remorseless
fangs
Of dire disease, is fastened in his SOUL
When he would seek the dagger or the bowl
To end his misery 10y the potent spell
OF deadly poison, or the polished steel. morn
Ye who have writhed and groaned from night to
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
Th molten lava
To him who hath felt this
need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark.
Should read this DER, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he tomorrow be
But all should know, i'll dark affections hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
10 ease their pain, so prompt, they'd think my
Must surely grasp a Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime,
Within this city-t throughout all the State,
In every town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can lie found who know the power WELD,
Having tried it-know it was to them a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders banks in battle bore
They know it saved them from the blush Of shame
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest,
Sprang from a source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this DER,
Remember, ] ALONE can you restore.
To healthand usefulness
That you may know
have the means and power for doing so,
here will state. Let each one note what | sav.
My motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
I'm found with ease my names on every tongue.

caused by shot from Baker; that Turner

Morrissey was accessory by association;
that John Hyler, Cornelius Linn, Charles
