An Ode to All Mankind.
BY j. c. YOUNG NJ. D.

BY j. c. YOUNG M
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
Man doom'd has to bare, when the remorseless
fangs
OF dire disease is fastened 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. [mOrn
Ye who have writhed and groaned from night to
Cursng 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
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
Th molten lava!
To him who hath felt this
I need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this DER, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he'll tomorrow be
But all should know in dark affliction'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,
Like some good Genii Of the Olden time,
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime,
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In every town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power l WELD,
Having tried it-knOw it was to them shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders banks in battle bore
They know it saved 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 healthand usefulness.
That you may know
have the means and power for doing so,
| here will state. Let each one note what say,
My motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
I'm found with ease my names on every tongue,
The suff 'rers friend, and yours too,

BEAUTIFUL INCIDENTAL correspondent
of the Preston England Chronicle gives
the following anecdote: A good while ago
a boy named Charlie had large dog which
was very fond of water and in hot weather
he used to swim across the river near which
the boy lived. One day the thought struck
him that it would be fine fun to make the
dog carry him across the river, so he tied d
string to the dogs collar, and ran down with
him to the waters edge, where he took of
all his clothes; and then, holding hard by
the dogs neck and the bit of string, he went
into the water, and the dog pulled him
across. After playing about on the other
side for some time, they returned in the
way they had come; but when Charlie look
ed for his clothes, he could find nothing but
his shoes The wind had blown all the rest
into the water. The dog saw what had hap
pened, and making his little master let &c
the string by making believe to bite him. he
dashed into the river, and brought out first
his coat, and then all the rest in succession
Charlie dressed and went home in his wet
clothes, and told his mother what fun he
and the dog had had His mother told him
that he had done very wrong in going across
the river as he had done, and that he should
thank God for making the dog take him
over and back again safely; for if the dog
had made him let 90 in the river he would
most likely have sunk, and been drowned
