An Ode to all Mankind.
BY j. G. 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 the 'sBowl,'
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 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 burn'd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood wero 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 incpient spark,
Should read this o'er and evry 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 ease their pain, prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Like some good Gen of the olden time,
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In y'ry town and hamlet. small great
Some can be found who know the power WELD.
Having tried it-know it was to the n shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yorc,
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 o'er,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness
That you may know
have the means and power for doing so
There will state. Let each note what say.
NV motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
Pm found with ease, my names ev'ry tongue.
The sutf 'rers friend, and yours too.

FoREicS NEws.-The steamship North Star
has arrived at New York, from Southampton,
bringing news one day later from Europe. In
telligenee from the Baltic says that. on the 9th
inst, the allied feet anchored off Sweaborg
and the bombardment was to commence the

which frequent our Bay shores, have generally
been regarded as among the least important Of

in ministering to the comfort and prosperity Of
man. We understand that Jonathan inghem.
Esq, of Salem, N. j., has invented a fertilizer
made from these crabs, which, from its excel
lence and comparative cheapness, promises to
come into general use. Messrs. ingham g.
Becsley have established mandatory at
Goshen, comprising steam mill, and complete
apparatus for crushing, dying, &C., which is
now in full operation, and will afford cOnsid-

ABDIcATIoN OF SANTA ANNA.-We have
important news from Mexico by the steamer
Orizaba at New Orleans the outline of which
has been forwarded by telegraph. Santa Anna
left the city of Mexico on the 9th, under the
escort Of 25OO men, and upon his arrival at
Pcrote signed his abdlcatIon of the Presidency.
On the l7th he embarked at Vera Cruz, but for
what place is not stated. A day or two after
leaving the city of Mexico, 700 or 800 of the
escort revolted, and after hliing one or two
officers, proceeded to JOIN Alvarez General
Carre has been appointed Provisional Presi.
dent, and General Ii Vega, Commander.in.
Chief of the army. The State pris ners at
the city of Mexico had been liberated, and a
mob committed a number Of excesses; the
house of Santa Annals mother-in-law was COM
pletely gutted in the excitement. The ap-
pOlntment of Vedal, who came passenger in the
Orlzaba, has been revoked, as Minister to the
United States. A fight occurred at Vera Cruz
between two revOltcd battalions and regimen,
faithful to Santa Anna, in which the former
were beaten aud driven TO the mountains, with
the loss of fifteen or twenty killed. Order had
been restored when the Orizaba sailed, on the
22d.

TERRIBLE HAIL SToEM.-The following is
an abstract of letter from Cayuga county,
New York:
ave were visited on the 10th by hail
storm unprecedented before in this region
Hail stones fell the size of hens egs, brea king
down the corn, perhaps running the crop en-
tlrely, as the stalks hot broken are bruised in
such manner as TO render its filling quite
doubtful. Oats were just being harvested !;
they are levelled as though roller passed over
them, and with this they are in some localities
thrashed complctely-hardly worth the har-
vesting. Buckwheat is destroyed in toto, moth
ing but the bare stalks remaining. Windows
unprotected by blinds were completely riddlcd,
and In some cases the window sashes were
broken. The hail was accompanied by wind
that tore up the trees and fences, and did a
tearing business generally"
Smyrna times., 1855-08-29

"OuR DAILY BREAD."-A correspondent in
the New York Mirror thinks the war against
the Liquor traffic involves injustice to the deal
ers. because the temperance advocates allow no
compromise by which the dealers and their
" "innOcent children" might pray or hope for
that which the Saviour characterized in most
beautiful prayer, /" our daily bread" But the
correspondent forgets other passages of that
prayer: " Lead us not into temptation -" de-
liver US from evil" Do the dealers think of
these!
