false representations, they are enabled to obtain
from Their victims. The only way you can be
sure OF honorable treatment and permanent cure,
Is is TO call upon DR.. YOUNG, at his office, corner

An Ode to All Mankind.
BY ]. C. YOUNG NJ. d.


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 Dangs
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. Tmorn
e who have writhed and groaned from nioht to
Cursing the hour that ever We were born
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease.
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze.
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madIy
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
Th 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 every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he'll tomorrow be
But all should know, in dark Affections hour.
Where to apply to one who has the power
10 ease their pain, so prompt, they'd think my
hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's 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 WELD
Having tried it-know it was to them shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore
Upon Scamander's 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
e suffering thousands who may read this DER,
remember, n 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 suf 'rers friend, and yours too,

PR CTICAL DENTIST,

NTOULD call the attention of his friends and
w the inhabitants of San Francisco, to his
office, where they can have all DENTAL opera
tlOnS whether SURGICAL or MECHANICAL done
in style that cannot be excelIed, or even equal
ed, by any operator in this city or country.
DR.. B. would say to those wishing ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, that he is now prepared to manufacture
and insert BLOCK GUM TEETH, which, for NATU-
RAJ APPEARANCE, BEAUTY and DURABILITY, are
superior to anything before used in this place.
Persons wishing to have teeth filled, will find
that DR.. BIS operations are not excelled by any
other Dentist in the city. The greatest pains
will be taken to make the filling permanent.
To those wishing teeth extracted he has al
ways met with the greatest success in removing
carious teeth and fangs.
ChlOroform and Ether from the best manufac-
turer in the States, and used with great care
DR.. B. would say to those wishing Artificial
Teeth that he models his teeth expressly for the
Individual customer, so that to those unacquaint-
ed with dental operations it may be well to say,
dentists usually select from an assortment of ar
titicial teeth-larger smaller, as they may have
capital-separate teeth to form the set If they
use gum teeth, there will be visible in the wear
ers mouth perceptible difference between the
appearance of not only the artificial and natural
gum but between different sections of the artifi-
cial gum. DIR. B. obviates this entirely, by man
ufacturing set of teeth with a continuous gum
formed and colored expressly for the particular
space to be filled, so that the greatest possible
degree of naturalness and strength is attained

nR. YOUNG returns his sincere thanks to his
~ numerous patients, (amOunting to over two
thousand in the last year. for their patronage
and would embrace this opportunity to remind
them that ne continues to consult on those diff.
cult cases of Venereal, which have baff1ed the
skill OF some of the most celebrated physicians
! and upon which he never failed to perform a rad.
! ical cure.
| The Doctor is happy to see the public appreci-
ate tie valuable services of a regular medical
graduate-one in whose skill and integrity they
can place the utmost confidence, rather than
class hm with the herd of Quacks, who infest
the city, sowing the seeds of debility and disease
to an alarming extent, by pretending to cure the
world OF diseases, when they know nothing of the
modus operandi of medicine. They give mercu-
ry and other poisinous drugs, under the name of
vegetable medicines, which, instead of curing,
entail upon the system humOr which is hand
ed down, from generation to generation, carry
ing misery in its trail; but what does the impos-
| ter care so long as he gets his paltry fee.
Some of the s-self-styed Doc
tOrs-who advertise largely come out in false and
shining colors to deceive the unwary-some
say, have great enmity toward me, because they
see am determined to do justice to our fellow
beings, and expose the deceptions and humbug-
ging now practised. We would say more, but
| thanks to the all guiding hand who directs the
sufferer where he can be cured: that all affected
with private diseases will call at DR.. Young's
Office, corner of Montgomery and California
streets, San Francisco, where he deyotes his
whole attention to the cure of the above diseases.
His medicines are pleasant to take, produce no
bad effect upon the system, and are warranted to
effect permanent cure in the shortest possible
time. They are perfectly adapted to Miners
Travellers, and others, they require no restric-
tions in diet or fear of exposure to weather.
Young men affected with constitutional de-
bility brought on by a secret habit, which ruins
the constitutions of many, will, by calling on us
find remedy to effect perfect cure, or no pay
will be required.

Owe did think, when this miserable af-

ance more noxious than the garbage in her

Where she had one bully before, she will
have twenty now. Pugilism and the pis-
tol, shoulder-hitting, gouging and manning,
have been elevated into the heroic The
young lad who reads the Herald or the Ex-
press, will learn that to be bully is to be
a public character that vice will bring a
fame seldom, alas accorded to virtue; that
he will be wept for if he falls fighting, and
duly reported if he lives to fight again.
He will discover that brawny muscle is bet
ter than brains, that grog-shops, cock-pts,
and gambling hellS are the proper theatres
for manly action, and that society saves its
sympathy for defunct boxers and departed

The Cricket.
BY HADASSAM.

The cricket he dwells in the cold, cold ground
At the foot of the old oak tree,
And all through the heightened autumn night
merry song sings he.
lie whistles clear and merry tune
By the sober light of the silver moon,
The winds may moan
With hollow tone
All through the leaves of the rustling tree,
The clouds may fly
Through the deep blue sky,
The flowers may droop and the brooklet slgh'
But never a fig cares he.
He whistles clear and merry tune
By the sober light of the silver moon,
All through the heightened autumn night,
And never fig cares he.
There's tiny cricket within thy heart,
And pleasant song sings he;
He sings of the mercieS and goodness of God
That hourly fall upon thee.
Let him whistle loud and clear,
Never drown him in tear;
There's darkness enough on earth, trow,
Without the gloom of gloomy brow;
Darkness enough in the home of the poor,
That never comes to thy lofty door,
Forth with a smile,
Their wo to beguile;
Forth to tighten their heavy gloom,
Forth to brighten the clouded home;
Cheer up the soul that is shrouded in night:
Tell it tones of love,
OF hope on EARTH and a land all bright
The land of Life and Love.
And never fret,
That you cannot get
Just what you want while you travel here,
This IS not your lasting sphere.
Trials, vexations,
Are but temptations;
Use them Alright, and they'll help you along
In the narrow road
That leads to God.
Use them Alright, and they'll help you along;
Never fret,
You'll conquer yet.
Then let him whistle loud and clear,
Never drown him in tear,
But all through the length of troubles night
Let him sing his merry song.
