An Ode to all Mankind.
BY ]. C. YOUNG, NJ. D.

All ye 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
Ye who have writhed and groand from night to morn,
Cursing the hour that ever We were born
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze
Hoping 'twoud quench the flames that madly 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 ncpient 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 afflictions hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt. they'd think my hana
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Like some good Genii of the oden 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 a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamander's banks, in battle bore.
They know it sav'd them from the blush of shame,
Preserved their health and dearer far theh 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

BEAUTY AND THRIFT.
BY META V. FULLER.

spider was spinning his silver thread
In the midst Of garden of flowers fair
Shrewd calculations he had in his head,
And his eight bright eyes looked everywhere
He saw rose in an emerald nook,
A SWEEP young thing with blushing cheek,
Timid delight was in her look,
Perfumes not words, she seemed to speak,
The sun light nestled against her breast,
With loves first thrill her heart was a-gow,
Dewy pearls bedecked her vest,
And a zephyr swung her to and fro.
That rose shall be my chosen queen
The sweetest queen in all the earth!
The most gorgeous palace ever seen
I'll build to grace her beauty worth -
The spider murmured and straight he went
With wooing words to the smiling flower,
With blush She sighed her sweet assent
To his building her that wondrous bower.
With the skill of subtle architect
Easements, beams and floor were laid;
Silvery columns stood erect,
Gold were easements and facade.
Curtains as fair as moombeams bright
Betwixt the silvery columns CLEAN,
Waving with luslrous light,
Exquisite as poets dream.
Frescoes gracefully intricate
THAI human hand could never draft
And all this work elaborate
Was done by one small spiders craft.
His wondrous skill the rose admired;
To make him rest from toll she sought:
Of cen such miracles she tried
So silently her lover wrought.
But busily he built and strove,-
No tIolic folly could she win, -
At last the splendid web he wove,
His palace Shut the young thing in.
Bat ah! the world was all shut out
The sunshine and her sister flowers
This strange magnihcence about
Could scarce begue her lonely hours.
She pined for sunlight and fresh air,
For sight of butterflies and birds.
For deWS so cool and trees so fair
And the sweet zephyrs murmured words:
The spider, glorying in his work,
Sal at The door and kept the key,
Like some old naughty, turbaned Turk
Who so magniIcent? SAID he.
But youthful hearts so rich and warm
On splendor cannot flourish WE'LL
And the poor roses fading form
VI nameless want and woe did tell.
Cold gems instead of dew drops fed,
Will never nourish loves sweet bloom
Thus often Thrift with cunning thread
Builds palace grand for Beautys tomb.

him was overcome by enthusiasm, and lifting his
hands from the keys applauded him. ] shall never
forget the good-natured surprise with which the per-
former turned around and regarded the organist at
the close Of his effort. Boy said he, bov

praise entirely won upon my feelings. But how does
he look? That is the question the ladies ask of

should say that he looks young for man forty-fve
years old, though am told that he is on the Shady

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.-The last invention is a
plan for cooking without fire. described in the Sccn-
tilic American. The invention is a combination of
tin cooking Dishes placed one above another, the
bottom of one vessel fitting on the top part of the
dishes below. In the lower dish of all small guam
tity of quick lime is placed and then, by means of
tube, cold water is introduced upon the lime
Chemical action generates intense heat whereby the
articles on the dishes are quickly cooked, ready for
the table.
