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 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 wrthed and groan'd from night to morn
Cursing the hour that We were born
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly burnd
In ev'Iy 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 DER. aud ev'ry sentence mark
Uuon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark atfictions hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain so prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Like some good Genii of the oden time,
Whose cvry act bespoke his power sublime
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In ev'ry town aud hamlet. small or great.
some can be found who know the power wield.
Having tried it--know it was to the a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamander's banks in battle bore
They know it save 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 ard power for doing so
| here will state. Let each note what say.
My motto always is-NO [ URE NO PAY.
I'm found with ease. my names on evry tongue.
The suf 'lers' friend, ard yours too.

Condition Of Piedmont.

The following sketch of the condi-
ton Of affairs in Piedmont, is given
BY the London correspondent Of the
N. Y. Times.
Piedmont, is to have quarrel with
the Pope. You may form some idea
Of the state of affairs in Italy, from
the following:-The Principalities of
Massa Carrar have been placed under
the martial law of Colonel Casani.-
The punishment Of death is to be in
flicted upon all persons guilty of inten-
dsd murder. Persons found with arms
in their possession, are to be punished
by Imprisonment with hard labor for
life. All places Of public resort to be
closed from 6 A. NJ. to p. NJ. Any
assemblage Of three persons to be
dispersed. and the soldiery may use
its arms to effect that purpose. None
are allowed to be out in the streets
after 8 P. NJ, except priests and phys
icians, who are on their way to sick
bed. = On leaving the patient, they
must report themselves at the nearest
guard-house, with a lighted lantern,
and ask for an escort. The arrivals ol
strangers are to be reported to the
police within four hours.

as railroads, steam navigation, &c.
Yet, for all these attending evils, the
