An Ode to All Mankind.
BY J. C. YOUNG NJ. d,


All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As It's your case alone, net 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
CuTsing the hour that ever ye were bOrnl
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze
Hoping 'twould quencb the flames that madly
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
TIL 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 o er, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of thei memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be
But all should know, in dark Affections hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt, they ID think my
hand
Must surely grasp a Necromancers 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 he found who know the power WELD,
Having tired lt-know it was to them a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon s. tamander's banks, in lattle 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
I e 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 say,
NY motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
IA found with ease my names on every tongue,
The suf rers friend and yours too,
