MoNEY.-There never was period when mo-
nev has been so scarce in st. Paul, at the pres
ent time. Our merchants have sent below what
ever ready cash they could command, and they
waiting for their spring sales to get back a
sufficient amount to meet their debts. We learn
that there is money in tine city, good deal of it.,
but ) per cent. month is asked, and this our
citizens will not pay. The present tight time cam
not possibly last but a week or two longer, as
thousands of cmgrants are focking into our city
and Territory, who must have the ncccssaries of
life, and who have the cash to pay for them. Be
side this, we learn that there is upwards of 500,
900 on the way to gentleman of this city, most
of which will be put in circulation here. We
should bear with each other until the dark clouds
have passed over.

TUESDAY, APRIL "a, 1855.

CAUTION TO TRAvELERs.-At this season of the
year, when the Mississippi boats are crowded with
passengers, it is necessary that great caution
should be used in the use of food, drinks, &c. In
stead of overlooking the stomach with pies, cakes
and other rich food, to which not half of those
who emigratc West, are accustomed, emigrants
should cat sparingly and only of such articles as
will tend to health instead of sickness. They
should avoid drinking water to excess, and should
studiously abstain from Intoxicating liquors.
Quietncss and sleep, and plenty of fresh air are
also necessary to ward off disease. There is no
more use of having the cholera at this sea-
son of the year, than there is of having the
yellow fever, but if people rM rush headlong
into danger, they must suffer the consequences.
We consider it the duty of every one to inform
his neighbors of the danger which turks in the
tempting dishes which are too often set before the
hungry cmigrant on board of our steamboats,.
Deny yourselves a few luxuries and thereby Sare
Your lives.

An Ode to all Mankind.
BY ]. 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 remorseess 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.
Ye who have writhed 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 mady burn'd
In evry vein, as if your blood were turn'd
To him who hath felt this,
| need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incipen spark,
Should read this o'cr 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 afllction's hour
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt, they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Whose evry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this cty-throughout all the State,
In evry town and hamlet small or great,
Some can be found who know the power weld,
Having tried it-know it was to the II Il 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'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from a 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.
The suf 'rers' friend, and yours too.
