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

All 20 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 fahgs
of dire disease is fastend 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 groan'd from night to morn,
Cursng the hour that ever We 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 turn'd
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this oer, 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 afflictions hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain prompt, they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp a Necromancers 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 evry 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 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 source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this DER,
REMEMBER ALONE you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
/ have the means and power for doing so,
| here will state. Let each note what say.
My motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
I'm found with ease, my names ev'ry tongue.

The FROZEN DEAD. The scene of the greatest
interest at the Hospce of the grand st. Bernardo
solemn extraordinary interest ndeed-is that of the
Morgue, or building where the dead bodies Of lost
travellers are deposited. There they are, some of
them as when the breath of life departed and the
death angel, with his instruments of frost and snow
stiffened and embalmed them for ages. The floor is
thick with nameess skulls and bones and human dust
heaped in confusion. But around the walls are groups
of poor sufferers in the very position in which they
were found as rigid as MARBLE and in this are by the
preserving elements of an eternal FROST almost as u-
crumbling There is mother and her child, most
affecting image of suffering and love. The face of
the little remains pressed to the mothers bosom,
only the back part of the skull being visible, the
body enfoded in her careful arms aectionate in vain
to shield her offspring from the elemental wrath of the
tempest.
The snow fell fast and thick, and the hurricane
wound them both up in one white shroud and buried
them. There is also tall, strong man, standing
alone, the face drel and black but the white unbro-
ken teeth firmly set and closed grinning from the
feshless jaws; it is a most awful spectacle. The
face seems to look at you from the recess of the sep
ulcher, as if it would tell you the story of death
struggle in the storm. There are other groups more
indistinct but these two never to be forgotten
and the whole Of these dried and frozen remnants Of
humanity are terrific demonstration of the fearful
ness of the mountain pass, when the elements let
loose in fury, encounter the unhappy traveller. You
look at all this through the grated window there is
light enongh to make it soemnly and distinctly vsi-
be and to read in it powerful record of mental and
physical agony, and of maternal love and death.
That little child hiding its face in its mothers bosom
and both frozen to death one can never forget the
group, nor the mementO mor nor the token of death
less love-WanderingS Of Pilgrim. -

ADULrERArIoN OF LIQUoRs.-A disgracefu impo-
sition in connection with shipments Of brandy to the
colonies and elsewhere, is stated to be largely prac-
tised. The system is to buy up empty brandy casks
bearing the brands of the most noted cognac houses
and send them to Hamburg, Antwerp and other pla-
ces, to be filed with inferior spirit and reshipped to
this country in transit, whence they transhipped
on board vessels bound to Australia, the Cape of
Good Hope ETC., where the brands of these cognac
houses in good estimation 1t therefore behooves
merchants trading with the various colonies to be
careful to get their supplies from respectable sources,
and to caution their correspondents against the
ceipt of any consigments on which they may be
unable to place absolute reliance.-London Times.
The practice alluded to above has found imitation
this side of the Atlantic. As high as So and even
$40 is paid for empty casks bearing a well known
brand, and when a suitable number are collected the
brandy is manufactured from raw whisky, which sells
in our market at 251a to 26 cents per gallon and
then shipped to California and elsewhere genuine
