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

All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read
As tits 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 fastend 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
Yc who have writhed and groand from night to morn
Cursing the hour that ye born
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping twould quench the flames that madly burn'd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were turnd
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 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 aflictons hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
o ease their pain, so prompt they I'd think my hanG
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this cty-throughout all the Statey
In ev'ry town and hamlet, small great,
Some can be found who know the power wieldr
Having tried t-know it was to the n a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon 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 oor,
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.
