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

All ye who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As 'tis your case, alone not mine, plead.
Yo 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
Yc who have wrthed and groand 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,
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly burn'd
In evry vein, as if your blood were turn'd
TO molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
I need not speak, 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 tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark affections hour
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, prompt, they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Like some good Geni of the olden time,
Whose evry 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 them a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamander's banks, in battle bore.
They know it say d them from the blush OF shame,
Preserved their health, and dearcr far their name,
For who d confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from source impure to say the least
Yc suffering thousands who may read this DER,
REMEMBER, ALONE 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.
The suff rers' friend and yours too.

PARLIAMENTARY VIRTUE.

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune states that when the smoke
nuisance act passed Parliament, and all the
manufacturers of London were compelled TO
consume their own smoke, the glass works
at Southwark were exempted from the pre-
visions of the bill and their smoke declared
not to be nuisance-the proprietor, Mr..
Apsby Pellet, being q member of Parlie.
ment. The correspondent gives another ex-
ample of the advantage of seat in Parlia-
ment. He says that recently the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer proposed to raise the
duty on tea Immediately Sd. on the pound;
but On the same day-two hours before the
Chancellor made his statement-the firm of
Moffatt & Co., of which one partner has a
seat in Parliament, cleared about 300, 900
pounds of tea from the docks, and made a
handsome profit of Is to 10000 dollars in
one hour, the Chancellor Of the Exche1uer,
or the Secretary of the Treasury having
probably been leaky.

SEBASTOPOL

The obstinacy of this Russian stronghold
is amazing. Its conduct from the first has
been most tantalizing and deeeitful. It
gave out at the start that it was impregnable
py sea, but quite vulnerable by land, on the
strength of which assurance the allied armies
landed in the Crimea, but found the door in.
hospitality slammed in their face as they ap-
proached. This was about six months ago,
ana from that time to this the stubborn fort
ress has remained alike impervious to en-
treaties and threats. Bombardment after
commandment only seems to strengthen Sc
bastopol and keep up its spirits. 1t is stated
That during the first week Of the late bonn
bardment, about fifteen hundred tons of pow
der and about six thousand tons of shot and
shell were expended. Sebastopol received
them with as little damage.as child would
receive q shower OF sugar plums, and is now
asking for moro. But the allies have been
too profuse i'll their liberaliiy, and are una.
BILE to accommodate her at present. 1t is in.
deed singular and unaecountable fortress
The nearer its enemies approach, the more
periious becomes their position. For Sebss.
topol has as yet been lighting with but one
hand. It's only the Southern forts which
have hitherto opposed the progress of the
allies. But, as they draw near, the Emense
Notifications Of the North are beginning to
mutter deep toned thunders. Says cores
pondent of the London Morning Herald,
writing on the 18th:
Fctt Constantine and the forts north of the hafboT
for tho st time took part Ia the contest co day
firing 0lear across the harbor and town into own
AID ths french lines Their shot appeared to be OF
immense weight, and their guns of considerable
range. a. no undue elevation appare atty was given.
About loo re uuds fred Our officers ia ke it a.
q genta hint that even after storming, the soul d
side will be untenabie while the north remains in
their hands.
We fear that the allies will find Sebastopol
entirely incorrigible, ard will have to give
it up in disgust. Louis Napoleon has
staked his empire On the capture of Sebasto-
pol, but Sebsstopol will prove stronger than
Louis Napoleon.

DESTINY AND DUCKINf4

Louis Napoleons faith and practice in re
gard to fatalism are somewhat contradictory.
He believes that Destiny shields him against
the pistols of assassins, but when they fire, he
ducks his head and puts spurs to his horse.
Now, if destiny has determined that he shan t
be shot, why duck his head, which is undig-
nifed and unkingly? If his practice is mt
fatal to his theory, it at least gives the lie to
his halief in If
