Mr.. EDIroR:-Some forty odd years ago, my
old father-who by the way never gained any
great reputation a mechanical genius-con-
structed, or assisted to construct machine
which has ground out some machine poetry in
its day; but for three years past it has been
used for mining purposes, and worked we'll
The other day. it being stormy, and the ma
chine not being wanted for anything in partic-
ular, I thought that would try and set it to
running. Having been exposed to the hot sun
and stormy days of California since '49,
thought it needed oiling to make it work well.
Not having any of Dr. Beechers oil on hand l
looked around my cabin to see if a suitable SUBJ
stitute could be found, and seeing nothing that
would answer, my eye happened to rest upon
bottle of whisky, which got there by some
means. / Immediately thought it might an
swer the purpose, and poured couple of glasses
into the machine, which Immediately set to
working. You will perceive by the grist which
emanated from it, and which now send to you
for inspection, that it grinds everything thor
oughly, and often grinds it over several times
to make it fine. l am actuated by no mercena-
ry motives when extolling its powers, as the
machine is not in market for sale or to let but
if any of my numerous friends wish to use it on
any particular occasion, l might possibly ac-
commodate them. My old friend Charley Boyn-
ton, together with several other citizens of the
highest consideration, used to say that when
the machine was in first rate running order, it
was capable of grinding out poetry in all of its
ramifcations, from the sublime to the ridicu-
lous; and you will perceive that the last grist
which it ground was rather upon the ridiculous
order. If you do not like it, please send it
back, and will endeaver to grind it over until
it suits* Yours, truly, POP.

There is malady of deeper Importance,
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-
fering Human nature at best is but frail; all
arc liable to misfortune.
of all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
full as it is in the person who contracts it,
trlghtful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal.
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Grons, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec

him as the most common things of daily obscr-
