An Ode t all Mankind.
BY ]. C. YOUNG, N. d.

All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
AS it's your case, alone, not mine, plead.
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remorseless tangs
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 wrthed and groand from night to morn,
Cursng 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 were turnd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the ncipent spark,
Should read this o'er and ev'ry sentence marx!
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 Necromancer's 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 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 source impure, to say the least.
Yc suffering thousands who may read this DER,
REMEMBER, ALONE can 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 s-NO CURE NO PAY.
Pm found with ease my names ev'ry tongue.
The suf 'rers' friend, and yours too.

SINKING OF THE STEAMER CRY OF RICHMOND,
The telegraph has mentioned the accident to the

noon, says:
About daylight this morning was discovered that
the steamship City of Richmond, lying at the first
wharf above Market street, was in sinking con.
dition The stern had settled several feet and the
bow had struck the bottom of the dock. The tide
was recedng and at the time the fact of the sinking
was discovered, the ship was in imminent danger
Of sliding out into deep water and going down
Hawsers were Immediately got out forward, and
the sliding out of the vessel was thus prevented.
When the discovery was made, there was about
seven feet of water in the after part of the hold
Captain Mitchell was sleeping on board the ship.
He Immediately got as many men possible at
work at the hand pumps The furnaces under
the boilers were under water and it was of course
impossible to get up steam so as to put the steam
pumps in use. An effort was made to obtain the
services Of the Steam Fire Engine Young America,
for the purpose Of using her sucking machinery but
as usual the apparatus was out of order Finally .
portable hand pump was obtained from an estab.
lishment up town, and before noon. by dint OF
hard work, the ship was considerably lightened- -
The furnaces were still under water ut that time
however.
Tho affair created considerable excitement on the
whArvss, and curious crowd stood looking during
the entire forenoon. strong police force was upon
the ground, and kept the thropE at respectful dis

The cause Of the disaster is aot known. The YES.
sci was cauked within Q few months, and she was
considered very tight. Everything was right at Il
o'clock last night and at ha.fpast FIVE this morning
it is inferred that the ship either ssuttled during
the night, that the "sea-eocks" had been opened

that il the disaster had occurred after the ship sailed
he could have kept her free By of her steam

during the night, but there a watchman on duty
