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 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 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 madly burnd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were turn'd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incipent spark,
Should read this o'er 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 Affections hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, so prompt they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Geni of the olden time,
Whose evry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this cty-throughout all the State,
In ev'ry town and hamlet. small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD.
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 savd 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 and power for doing so,
here will state Let each note what say.
NV motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
I'm found with ease, my names on ev'ry tongue.
The suff 'rers' friend, and yours too.

MILLET ONCE MORE.

MEssRs. ED1ToRs:-I will with pleasure
accept not only the Millet seed you speak
OF, but any other kind you may wish ex-
pesimented with.
AT present have only one kind of Miet
--the Egyptian. In the year 1853, + was so
fortunate as to obtain seed enough of the
Iadisn Millet to plant quarter Of an acre ;
but the Spring was so dry that it did not get
= start until July, and the Fall being early
it did not mature, and did not save seed.
Since then, l have sought for it in every
seed store of note in the United States, but
hsge been unable to find it. Perhaps l gave
the wrong name.
However, although lost the seed Of it, |
had ample opportunity to test its valuable
ness as food for Stock, and | can say with
ttntb, that for hogs have never tried any
thing better. Here is the result of an ex'
pertinent made with it in the year above
named. had gang of twelve shotes, ten
months old. About the middle of July,
tarned six'of them into first rate oat pas
ture--the remaining six, without choice,
kept out and fed them with the green stalks
of this Millet, and nothing else. About
mouth afterwards, l turned them altogether,
and the difference between them was clear
at . glance. Those fed upon the Millet
were considerably larger and in much bet
ter condition every way; which advantage
they maintained until they were killed, about
year and four months afterwards--weigh-
ing much heavier than the others. This is a
Stubborn fact, which no carollng or sophis'
try can get round.
But, gentlemen, as friend Of mine would
say, there has been talk enough on this
subject. He who wont believe now, would
not, though he were to see with his own
seyes. FARMER.
