All ye who suffer, ponder whilst you read,o
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
VI dire disease is fasten'd in his soul go
When he would seek the dagger or the BOWL,

VI deadly poison, or the polished STEEL
Ye who have writhed and groand from night to morn,
Cursing the hour that We 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 evry vein, as if your blood turn'd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this.

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 afflicton's hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, so prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necr0mancer's wand,
Like some good Gen 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 them 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 a source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this o'er,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness.

CLIMBING A GREAsEDPOL

During the holding of the Berkshire
County Fair, at Pittsiield, Massachu.
sets, the occasion was cnlivened by
some Of the good old English sports,
such Us foot.races, wrestling, &c. The
Springfield Republican says that which
attracted the greatest crowd was the
climbing of Il CREASED pole. This ath-
letic drollery is u ime-honored amuse-
ment at fairs in some parts of England
and at the festivals of the wine harvest,
In the south of France. We are not a
ware that it has ever been practiced in
this country, and as perhaps this is the
introduction of novelty, that will soon
prevail at our farmers festivals, we
may be excused in giving some account
OF it. On u grassy slope of the field, u
pine pole had been raised, about sixty
feet high, and as straight and smooth
as Hlawatha s arrow. The bark had
been stripped from it and all its rough
ncsscs taken away. The first fifteen
feet retained its natural smooth surface
but beyond that it had been smearcd
with thin coat of grease. About 80
feet from the ground, the alluring pri-
2es of silver dollars hung, tied to the
pole with slender ribbon. Early in
the morning crowd of spectators ga
thcred around the pole, and numbers
of carriages, filled with ladies, stood
aloof, and from the bursts of laughter
announced the failure of the many
poor fellows who struggled in vain for
the prizes. Many and many an aspir-
ing youth, chcercd on by his comrades
shot up The first twenty feet with an a.
gilty that threatened the glittering
prizes; but alas, when he arrived at the
trcacherous grease, his hands and feet
slipped, his strength gave out, and cas-
ting dcspairing look up at the shin
ing dollars, lie slipped ike q spent
rocket to the ground. Several dollars
were won, however, then silver watch
said to be worth SIG, was tied to the
pole--a prize that would repay the
greatest efforts. Scores tried in vain
to win this. One cunning chap put
sand in his pocket, and holding on with
one hand, applied it with the other,
but before he could take advantage of
his craft, strength failed and he fell
like Luclfer never to rise again
At last Il little German boy from Pom
toosuc, named Weydman, stepped for,
ward and climbed up like a bear cub
When within five feet of the watch
he looked at it steadily a moment, and
giving three leaps, in which he seemed
to lose his hold Of the pole entirely,
he clutched the prize and slid back,
amid tumultuous applause. 1t was
found that his hands were rosined, but
as this was deemed fair play, he was al
lowed to keep the watch, and won an
other in the same way.
