An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. C. YOUNG, M. D.

M.
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 fanps
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.
Ye who have writhed and groand from night to morn,
Cursng the hour that ever ye were born
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twoud quench the flames that madiy burn'd
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 marx!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he IL tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark afiictions 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 Genii of the olden time,
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-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 IN shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders 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 source impure, to say the least.
Ye suffering thousands who may read this oers
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness,
That you may know
[ have the means and power for doing so, As
| here will state Let each note what say.
My motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
I'm found with ease, my names on evry tongue.
The suff 'rers' friend, and yours too.

CULTIVATED NTELLEcT-Smythe in his
new moral of "Henry Vernon" says, cult
waited intellect gives to existence its highest
aspirations and noblest enjoyments. With
out it there would be no poetry of sentiment,
no enrapturing melody, no glowing visions
of Imagination. It is to the moral world what
the sun is to the natural. Withoutthe latter,
the earth would be great globe of msts,
and fogs, and darkness. Without the former,
man would not appear us the bright image
of his Maker, looking into them in immortal
beatitude. Intellect gives to man all the
divinity that is within him; all the dignity
and majesty of his character, all the bright
ness and bloom of nature. Subtle and pure,
it can ascend from the works and hues of
earth, bask in the light of the stars and suns
which gild the dominions of the great maker
and Ruler Of the Universe. There are n
thousand beauties in earth and sky; in the
flowers and dew drops, and landscapes, and
other objects of the one; in the star studded
azure of the otherbu: they are seen, contem.
plated and admired, only by the winged mer-
curry of the mind. That opens to man the
gate of the kingdom of knowledge, and
points out to his inquiring spirit, the glow.
ing spheres of boundless space. Nothing
can equal mental beauty, whose hues fade
not as the flowers, but brighten more and
more for immortality.

PRESIDENT PIERCE AND THE INDrANs.-The
following interesting paragraph we find in the
Washington correspondence of the st. Louis
Republican:
learn that the President has determined
on new Indian policy for the government.
Heretofore the policy has been removal. So
soon as any question should arise between the
white man and his red brother, involving any
serious difficulty, instead of meeting boldly
the questions and settling them, the previous
policy Of the government has been to remove
the Indians further into the wilderness and
stave off the responsibility Of the issues. The
very necessity of the case now forces the
government to change its policy-for there is
no longer any West to which TO remove the
poor Indian. The white population of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington, will soon
demand that this encnmb.ance be started on
the opposite track, and that the red mans
path shall be eastward. In this crisis Presi-
dent Pierce has determined to adopt the op-
posite of the old policy, and continue the
Indians on their Notwithstanding their
boundaries instead of enlarging them. This
will force them to turn their attention to ag-
ricaltural and mechanical pursuits, and tend
TO their rapid civilization.
They will be surrounded on all sides by the
music of the ploughman's merry whistle and
the busy clink of the mechanics hammer;
and these influences must affect in greater or
lesa degree their wild and savage nature. On
Lake Superior several tribes who had been
thus surrounded, have become excellent citi-
zens. One of the Saginaw tribe is now
largely engaged in ship building, and has
large capital invested in the business. Others
of the tribe are engaged in the various me-
chanical trades, and are doing well under the
force of precisely the same policy which the
government has determined to adopt to-
wards ALL

CATNTPs.-Mr. Editor: This valuable lit
tie herb is much overlooked by farmers
Every one who plants foot of ground
should cherish it; were itmore generally used,
death would be less frequent, and sickness
much mitigated. The cat perhaps owes its
longevity or plurality of lives to this plant
Every body knows how fond that anima is
of il; no doubt the name thus originated
Catnip is readily propagated from the seed
and thrlves in almost any soil. Early in the
summer the leaves should be dried md kept
for winter use. In Colds, Pneumonia, and
lnflamatory ievers, it is invaluable. Doctors
may laugh and call us granny" but this will
not deter us from warmly recommending
the universal use of the excellent herb. In
disease generally, especially our winter dis
eases, we know that the pores of the skin are
closed; get an action on the surface and the
disease generally is soon mastered. Catnp
is a powerful sudorific. Give little calome
and catnip tea profusely, and never allow
the approach of the lancet, and nine cases out
of ten of that terriable disease, pneumonia,
will be cured. ! am not writing theoretical
ly or riding hobby horse. can speak of
its salutary and life restoring qualities from
having repeatedly tried it on myself and per.
sonalIy administering it to others. 1t works
like n charm. The tea is made after the
fashion of Hyson or other teas, either from
the green or dried herb. Farmers try it;
give it a fair trial; and you will be glad You
took the Soil of the South for this one, out
Of its many valuable sugsestions.-Soil of the

How SwINDLERs ARE PUNISHED IN Eng
LAND.-Sir John D. Paul and his partners,
Messrs. Strahan and Bates, who were for
many years leading London bankers, failed
some time since, and disclosed that they had,
when pressed for money, disposed of secu-
rites placed in their hands on deposit, and
applied the money to their own necessities
They were arrested and tried for the offence,
and we learn by this mail that the sentence
pronounced upon them is fourteen years
transportation. Sir John D. Paul was a
baronet, magistrate, leading member of
the church, and of several religious and char
table societies. his connections, as well as
those of his partners, were highly respectable
and influential. Yet they have been sentenc-
ed to the same punishment as would have
been allotted to them if they had been the
lowest criminals. There is lesson in the
sentence by which we may profit. Such
swindlers as that of Strahan, Paul g. Bates
have not been unknown in this country. But
we are not aware that any Wall street oper'-
tor was ever sentenced to fourteen years i'm
prisonment, or even four.

EPIDEMICs AT NIGHT.-The Westminster
Review explains the fact of the increased fu.
ry of epidemics in the night, by remarkng
that il is at night that the steam of air near
est the ground must always be the most
charged with the PARTICLES of animated mat
ter given out from the skin, and deleterous
gases, such as carbonic acid, the product of
respiration, and sulphuretted hydrogen, the
product Of the sewers. In day, gases and
vaporious substances of all kinds rise in the
air by the ratification of heat; at night when
the ratification leaves them, they fall by an
increase of gravity, if imperfecty mixed with
the atmosphere, while the gases evolved du-
ring the night, instead of ascending, remain
at nearly the same level. 1t is known that
carbonic acid gas, at n low temperature, par
takes so nearly of the nature Of fluid, that
it may be poured out of one vessel into
another; it rises at n temperature at which it
is eXhaed from the lungs, but its tendency
is toward the floor, in cold unventated
rooms.
