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, 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
Ye who have wrhed 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,
Ionng ,twould quench 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 incpient spark
Should read this o'er. 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 afliicton's hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, so prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp a Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-throughout all the State,
in ey'ry town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power weld.
Having tried it--know it was to the n a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamander's 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 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,
| here will state. Let each note what say.
My motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY
I'm found with ease, my names ev'ry tongue
