We that are afflicted, when there is help 50
Il near at hand. The celebrated DR. YOUNG,
the only REGULARLY EDUCATED PHYSICIAN now
advertising in California, is daily making new
discoveries in the healing art, and so proficient

any case. The Doctor treats all diseases of q
private nature, and if the cure is not performed
no pay will he required.
DIR. YOUNG would cation the afflicted against
alluring advertisements of certain mushrooms
calling themselves physicians, who ON account
OF the eminent success of the Doctor have open
ed places to entrap the unwary-men withouted-
ucation, whose only object is the FEE, which ly
false representations, they are enabled to obtain
from their victims. The only way you can be
sure OF honorable reatment and permanent cure
Is TO call upon DIR. YOUNG, at his office, corner

APowerfuI Puff.

A New York Pill doctor, who advertises
in q CINCINNATI paper, asked the editor to
give him puff The editor, goOd-natured,
wrote a first-rate notice, from which we
make the following extract;
"One single pill worn in each pocket, will
instantly give ease and elasticity to the
tightest pantaloons. A little quantity will
create an appetite in the most delicate
stomach, or physic horse. They will also
be found to give a rich favor to apple dump
lings, and a peculiar zest to picked oysters;
they will thicken soup, reduce cOrpulent
persons, and are an excellent bait for mouse
traps. One dissolved in bucket of water
will be found a perfectly water proof lining
for canal entertainments; placed in steam
boat boilers, they will effectualy prevent
their bursting, and greatly increase the speed
of the boats. AS for their medical qualities,
they are justly entitled to be called "NeGl-
c1mentum Gracja ProbQtum"-i e. a rene
dy approved by grace-for they effectually
cure st. Anthony's fire and stop ST Vitus
dance; they purify the pimples in the small
pox, and radiate the red gum in teething;
they reduce white swellings and cure the
black jaundice, blue devils, yellow, scarlet
or any other fever; they cure also the thrush
in children, and pipin hens, the stagger in
horses, and the nightmare in owls. But
further enumeration is unnecessary; it suf
fees to say that this medicine is a combin-
alton upon new principles discovered by the
present proprietor's immortal grandmother
and are an exception to all the rules of sci
ence, common sense and experience; so that
while they are the most powerful agent in
nature, revolutionizing the whole animal
economy, and eradicating tue most incura-
bic diseases, they are at the same time per.
fectly innocent preparatiyn, and may be ia
ken with entire safety by the'nurSing in
fant-powerful and harmless"

KEEP HIM DowN.-All keep him down.
What business has poor man to attempt
to riso without name-without friends
without honorable blood i'll his veins? We
have known him ever since he was boy
We knew his father before him, and he was
but mechanic; and what merit can there
be IN the young STRIPPING? Such is the cry
OF the world when Il man Of sterling charac-
ter attempts to break away from the cords
OF poverty and ignorance and rise to a posi-
tlon oi truth and honor The multitude
are excited by envy; they cannot endure to
be outstriPped by those who grow up with
them Or tner children side by side. and hence
the opposition man encounters in his ma
tive place. Despite Of their feelings. many
noble minds have arisen from obscurity and
lived down~their opponents; but others have
yielded to discouragements; lived in obscu-
rity, and "dicd and made 10 sign" Let it
not be so with you, young man. Persevcre

A YANKEE STORY friend of ours tells
one of the most capital stOrics illustrative
of Yankee shrewduess in driving bargain,
we have ever heard. 1t is a well known
practice of New England farmers, living in
tae vicinity of small towns, to send their
produce to some merchant residing there
and receive all sort of goods in exchange
Sometime during the last war with the
mother country, when many and all kinds ot
goods were scarce, tall, heavy Green
Mountain boy, walked several miles into
town with an egg which his mother had
sent him with to exchange for a darning
needle. The bargain was concluded, but
still the countryman tarried in the store
looking silently and wishfully about him
with his wide mouth halfopen, until he spied
at the farther end decanter of old West
India rum; this sight was too exciting for
longer endurance and Oyercame his bashful-
ness at once
Look here, mister" Johnathan exclaim-
ed, "dOn't you always stand treat when
you've made a trade? ?"
40 yes" the merchant replied, good-na-
turedly, "help yourself to glass"
The tempting beverage was prepared
with its quantum of sugar and water, and
tasted; but still the fellow held the glass ir-
resoluteiy i'll his bony fnger-the prepara-
tion was not up to the point of satisfaction
which the storekeeper perceiving enquired
ii it was not good.
Its slick, it is, says Jonathan, "but III
tel you what, mister, an egg beat up in il
would make it slicker, we'll it would"
The merchat was amused and humoring
the fancy, handed him back the identica
egg he had received for the needle. Jona
than broke it into his rum and water, anC
perceiving it had two yolks, cried out with
great energy-'8y gosh, mister, you onght
to have given me two needles for this egg 7

An Ode to All Mankind
BY i. C. YOrNG NJ. d.

BY j. C. YOUNG NJ. D.
All We who suffer ponder whilst y0n 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 by 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 twoud quench the flames that madly
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 Ger, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he'll tomorrow be
But all should know, in dark affliction's hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt, they'd think my
hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime,
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In every town and hamlet, small or great
Some can be found who know the power WELD
Having tried t-know it was to them 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 source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this o'er,
Remember, ALONE can you restore.
To heathand usefulness.
That you may know
have the means and power for doing so,
here will state. Let each one note what say
My motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
I'm found with ease my names on every tongue

nR. YOUNG returns his sincere thanks to his
~ numerous patients (amounting to over two
thousand in the last year,) for their patronage
and would embrace this opportunity to remind
them that he continues to consult on those diff
cult cases of Venereai, which have baff1ed the
skill of some of the most celebrated physicians
and upon which he never failed to perform rad
ical cure.
The Doctor is happy to see the public apprec-
ate the valuable services OF a regular medical
graduate-one in whose skill and integrity they
can place the utmost confidence, rather than
class him with the herd of Qnacks, who infest
the city, sowing the seeds of debility and disease
to an alarming extent, by pretending to cure the
world of diseases, when they know nothing of the
modus operandi of medicine. They give mercu-
ry and other poisinOus drugs, under the name of
vegetable medicines, which, instead of curing.

Frour1xc Po11T1c1ANs.-The following
canital hits at class of men rather preva-
lent in California, are from the San Fran
cisco Toacn Talk: =,
We think there is no State in the Union
which can produce such an abundant crop
of fighting politicians as California; indeed
a revolver and bowie knife are considered
as necessary tools for class of California
politicians, as two foot rule and a hatchet
IS for a carpenter They always have them
about their persons, and they are generally
about the strongest arguments they know
how to use. 1t is almost unnecessary for
US to say that the men who rely upon such
arguments to carry out their principles have
no good principles to carry out, politically
or morally. They are also unfit for any Of
flee among civilized men, except corpora
tion butchers, If such an Office should be
created. They might be usefully used for
ridding the city of the dogs which infest it.,
but for any other position they are bad ma
terial, and yet their bullying propensities
sometimes unfortunately gets them into of
ice among peaceable men.
We observe that this class of politicians
have great enmity to the press-they en-
tertain some such views in regard to the
liberty of speech and the liberty of the press
that Louis Napoleon does-they think both
should have q censor, and as far as they can
they provide one. They do not possess that
rectitude of character which places a good
man beyond the reach or fear Of cencure,
and therefore they are always in dread of it.
Their regulations are of such timsy text
ure that every breath of doubt pierces it,
and consequently they are always depend
ing more upon their revolver being i'll per-
feet order, than their acts being in perfect
keeping with honor and honesty.
Such men are always great towards, too
they never, if they can hel it, put them
selves on an equality with those they try to
use their main argument against. No man
who is going around with his fellOw-men
loaded down with deadly weapons, isa brave
man. nor a sensible man in an argument
He is generally an ignorant black-guard,
who, when opposed by good sense, endeav-
ors to gain point by resOrting to his weap-
ons-a kind of argument that almost any
negro or ignorant greaser can use just as
we'll as the most accomplished bully.
We have long thought it was time Cal
fornia was redeemed from the influence OF
this class-they are very dangerous gang
of political hireiings, who hang after prom
inent politicians, drink their rum, and are
supported by them, like steamboat runners
are employed by companies to below the
merits Of opposition boats. Their cOnnec-
ton in this particular serves as a protection
| to them, and were it not for this they would
frequently be tenants of the station house,
city Jail or States prison.
