An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. C. YOUNG, NJ. D.

All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
AS 'tis YOUR case, Alone not mine, plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remorseless fangs
OF dire disease is fasten'd 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.
We who have wrthed and groan'd from night to morn,
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze, .
unn;ng 'twould ouench the flames that madly bUrn'd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were turn'd
To 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 Per, and ev'ry sentence mark!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark affctions hour,
Where to apply to who has the power
To ease their pain so prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Like some good Genii of the oden time,
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In ev'ry town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD.
Having tried it-know it was to them shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
JJpon Scamanders banks, in battle bore
They know it sav'd 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 DER,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
| have the means and power for doing so,
there will state. Let each note what say.
MY motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
Pm found with ease, my names ev'ry tongue.

Again it is my unpleasant duty to chronicle

mcnt which sends terror To the hearts Of all at ts

At 3 o'clock this morning dense smoke, is
suing from the cellar OF VIM. Migrants Tea

Immediately gave the dreaded alarm of fire, but
before the arrival of the engines, the flames had
obtained such hcadNay that they could not be
checked until they had communicated to the
Hardware establi ,hment of X. c. Donnan, Esq.
which with that of Mr. Ingram's burned II
the ground. Mr. Donnan's vile and child mado
a very narrow escape in their egress to the street
being well nigh sufocatcd 10y the smoke. Mr.
Jones (Piano Tuner,) who also lived over the
stores, lost nearly all of his furniture. Mr.. Don
mans loss will probably be abont $1,000, his
stock was insured for its iu! value, but his furni-
ure, personal effects, &c, valued at 1000, were
only partially insured.
Mr.. Ingram had an insurance OF S6,0OO upon
his stock, which, report says. far exceeds ITS ae-
tua value. do not vouch for the truth of this
however, a. so many contradictory reports are
flying abont that il is impossible to obtain cor
rect statement of affairs. Circumstantial evidence
being very strong against Mr.. Ingram, he was
arrested and lodged in Jail as the incendlary. If
guilty, he merits the seyerest punishment for
thus eopardizing the lives ofhis fellow creatures
If innocent, he will no doubt be honorably dis
charged.
