The Poet of the Age.

by a recent number of the New York
Sunday Times, we learn that our old ia.
vorite, the "Disbanded Volunteer" has
come out IN new branch of literature,
ana has made his mark as a poet. We
copy the epistle in which is contained his
effusions:

THE SOCIETY OF LADIEs.-The fol-
lowing pertinent remarks occur at the
close of an article on the dangers of i" Col
lege Life, from the pen of a New York
Clergyman, which appeared in the New
York Times:
The society Of ladies has done much
for me all my life long; and it was the
salutarv, sottening influences of such as
sociation that with Gods blessing re-
strained me from many an excess into
which | might otherwise have been led
while reseiying my education. 1t is a
bad 81 on when a young man has no relish
for such company. Whatever be man S
station in life, whether higher or lower,
public or private, he will become better
man, and escape many disaster, if he
will listen i'll due season to the voice of
the intelligent and refined among the
other sex. Not only do tho generally
| excel us in their nice perception of the
proprieties of life, and in their tender
sense of duty to both God and man, but
they are equally before us in their in
stinctive facility of foreseeing evil before
it is on us, and of wisely discerning the
character and motives of men.
1t was not all dream which made the
wife of Julius Caesar so anxious that he
should not 90 to the Senate Chamber on
the fatal Ides of March, and, had he
complied with her cntreaties, he might
have escaped the dagger of Brutus. Dis
aster followed disaster in the career of
Napoleon, from the time he ceased to feel
the balance wheel of Josephine's inhu-
ence on his impctuous spirit. Our own
Washington, when important questions
were submitted to him, often has said
that he would like to carry the subject to
his bed chamber before he had formed
his decision; and those who knew the
clear judgment and elevated purpose of
Mrs. Washington, thought all the better
of him for making her confidential
counsellor. Indeed, the great majority
of men who have acquired for themselves
a good and great name, were not only
married men, but happily married-con-
summating the chief happiness of man
upon earth

THE MAMMOTH CAVE. = That the
Mammoth Cave is an antiquity of the
world before the food-a city of giants
which an earthquake swallowed, and
which chance roof of rocks has pro-
tected from being effaced by the deluge,
and by the wear of the elements for sub
sequent ages-is one of the fancies which
its strange phenomena force upon the
mind. All is so architectural. 1t is not,
a vast underground cavity, raw and dirty,
but a succession of halls, domes and cor
ridors, streets, avenues and arches; all
underground, but all telling of the de-
sign and proportion of a most majestic
primeval metropolis. 1t is not cave,
but a city in ruins-a city from which
sun, moon and stars, have been taken
aWay-its destruction remains sealed in
oblivion, whose day of judgment has
come and passed, and over which new
world has been created, and grown old
By what admirable laws of unknown ar
chitecture those mammoth roofs and cell
ings are upheld, is every travellers Won
dering question In some shape or
other, [ heard each of my companions
express this. Nota modern builder could
throw up such high vaulted arches and
so unaccountably snstain them. And all
else i'll. keeping. The cornices and col
umns, aisles and galleries are of gigantic
proportions, and as mysteriously upheld.
Streets one after another-miles after
milcs-seem to have been left only half
in ruins; and here and there is an effect
as if the easements and lower stories were
incumbercd with fragments and rubbish,
leaving you to walk on level with the
capitals and floors once high above the
pavement. 1t truly might be described
as mammoth Herculaneum, first sepul-
chred with overlapping mountains, but
swept and choked afterwards by the
waters of the deluge, that found their
way to its dark streets in their subsi-
ding. What scenery and machinery this
will be for the poets Of the West, by and
by. Their Parnassus is "a house ready
furnished. w p. Wills.

important to Miners, Travellers, &c.

There is no malady of deeper importance,
either in medical 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 effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate. as far lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature Mt best is bnt frail
all are liable to misfortune.
OF all the ills that affect man, none arc more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it.
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. 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 consult
ing some physician, whose respectability and
education enables him to warrant safe speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, 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 Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutancons, Eruptions, Ulcera-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis in Children, Mercurial
Syphilitic Affections, Gonorrhea elect, Stric-
lures, False Passages inflammation of the
Bladder and PROSTATE Glands, Excavations,
Tumors, Pustules, etc, are as familiar to him
as the most common things of daily observa-
ton.
The Doctor effects cure in receiving cases
In few days, and finds no difficulty in curing
those OF long duration, without submitting the
patient to such treatment as will draw upoa
him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to
neglect his business, whether within doors or
without. The diet need not be changed, cy-
ccpt in cases of severe inflammation. There
arc in California, patients (amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could fur
Eish proof of this but these are matters that
require the incest secrecy, which he always
preserves.
