All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As it's your case alone, not mne plead.
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remorseless iangs
OF dire disease is fastend in his soul a.
" hen he would seek the dagger or the BOWL,

Ye 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 mady burn'd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were tum'd
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 DER, 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 aflictions 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 Gcnii of the olden time,
Whose cv'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 l weld.
Having tried it--know it was to the a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles OF yore,
IJpon Scamander's 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 n source impure, to say the least.
Ye suffering thousands who may read this o'er,

The PROBABLE POPULATION OF CHINA.-With
tolerable safety, says Sir John Bourng we may esti
mate the present population of China at between
100000 and 100000 of human beings. The con-
slant flow of emigration from China contrasted with
the complete absence of immigration into China, is
striking evidence of the redundancy of the population;
for though that emigration is almost wholly confined
to two provnces-namey, Kwantung and Fookien,
representing together population of probably from
34000,000 to 35000,000, l am disposed to think
that number nearer 100000 than 100000 from
these provinces are located in foreign countries In
the kingdom of Siam, it is estimated that there are
at least a million and half of Chinese of which 2O0,-
600 are in the capital (Bangkok) They crowd all
the islands of the Indian Archipelago In Java, we
know by correct census, there are 10000 Cochin
China teens with Chinese. In this colony we are
seldom without one two three vessels taking Chi
nese emigrantS to California and other places. Null
ttudes go to Australia, to the PHILIPPINES, to the
Sandwich Islands, to the western coast of Central
and Southern America some have made their way
to British India The emigration to the British
West Indies has been considerable-to the Havana
greater still. The annual arrivals in Singapore are
estimated at an average of 10000, and 1000 is the
number that are said annually to return to China.

IMPORTANT TO M1NERs.-A new kind of hydraulic
hose, says the Volcano Ledger is now being used on
the claim of Mason Co., Pike Hill, at this place.
The hose is made of galvanized iron and the advan-
tages claimed for it are durability and cheapness.-
They can be made at less cost than the double can
vas hose, and will last for years with proper care
They made in sections of twenty feet and be
put together in a few moments, and when connected
they are perfectly tight and great saving of water
is thereby effected The one now in use works well,
and the parties think they effect saving Of at least
twenty-five per cent they attach the hose directly
to the ditch canal and thus avoid the necessity Of
putting up fumes to convey water at great height
over their claims. Persons interested in hydraulic
mining would do well to examine this matter.

The grass is now drying up very fast the bottom

Mr. Buchanan has at length, after being an un-
successful candidate BE- fore two or three National
Conventions, achieved nomination for the Presi-
dency. As he is past his seventieth year, it was
mapifesty now or never with him. In the natural
course Of things neither he nor Gen. Cass can ex-
pect to live much beyond the close of the ensuing
Presidential term; and we may safely presume that
the name of each has now been run through a
Preside ntial Convention for the last time Douglas
he takes care Of himself may come up again; but
his three competitors in the Cincinnati scramble
have made their last appearance on that or any
kindred stage. Invtterate as are the hopes and
up6yine as would seem to be the aspirations OF
an ,fice.seeker, Fhe next Democratic National
Convention must witness an entirely ne" changs

field of its operations and the spiritual desttution
of the objects Of is bsDtfsnee, than the Southern
Aid Society which met las. week in Boston. Its
object is TO evangelize the South by Missionary
efforts And for this purpose preparation OF
the Gospel is to be administered such as may
LOT disgust the palates of those babes in grace.
Their qualmish stomachs are not yet vigorous
enough for strong meat, and corps Of nurses has

The disastrous failure of the unhappy Pierce to
secure nomination at Cincinnati teaches lesson
which it s to be hoped may not be entirely los. on
his successors. This is the second attempt which
has been made to secure reelection to the Presi-
dency by the most unsparing and unscrupuous use
of official patronage employed to buy up or to in
tmidate Northern politicians, in conjunction with
an attempt to secure the South by the prostitution
of all the powers of the Federal GOvernm ens to the
extension of Slavery. Mr.. Tyler was the first to
try this experiment. Pierce has renewed it on
grsnder scale, but with no better success.
Whatever may be the support to an Admnistra-
ton derived from official patf onage-and, no doubt,
it is very great-when it comes TO the question Of
a re Lomn nation this kind of influence is shorn Of
half it's strength. 1t may indeed be completely
neutralized, and even brought to bear against the
incumbent. Those in Office, in their anxiety to
keep their places, must take csre in supporting
their prefent master, not to go so far as to make
themselves personally obnoxious to the new master
who, after all, may step into the place OF the old
ones while the still larger and more energetic class
of those out of Office who want to get in, will
naturally lOvk to Lew dynasty and to zeal ald
activity On their part in substituting it for the old,
as the shortest and most certain method for them.
Those who have made up their minds to go for
new candidate, in doing so have taken step in
which failure to displace the present incumbent
must be fatal to their hopes. On the other hand,
those who stand BY the incumbent are, from tie
NONE Mt his prospects appear doubtful, under pow
erful temptations to pass over in good season to
what is likely to prove the stronger side. For this
reason, an incumbent proposed for re- nomination,
20 far as that re nomination depends upon the poll
ticisns merely, will alway be opposed with great
deal more of earnestness and vigor than will ever
be exhibited in his support
Mere official patronage, as these two cases Of
Tyler ard Pierce abundantly prove, counts for but
offce Oh the part of the outs proves a complete
counter balance, if not more, to the tensety Of
Office on the part Of the ins. No man can hope -
be elected to the Presidency, excep. by the sup
port Of some great and powerful party; bu. when
such support is sought to be obtained, as ia the
case of Pierce, by unscrupulou.ly sacrificing the
rights and interests Of a majority of the people 70
the interests or wishes Of a minority, that same
minority, thus attempted to be purchased up, will
be the first to abandon a candidate whose very zeal
for them has deprived him Of that genera, trust and
confidence without which his election cannot be
secured
