Frora the Alio York Mirrror. Ode to the Fever and Ague. Imp imperial, of disease! Thee, sublime, thy subject sings, While he, fervent, fries or freezes With thy gracious visitings; Sovereign shivcrer! Hear a quiverer Tune his fancy's fiddle-strings. Years have multiplied to ages, Since thy dynasty began. Yet, have no historick sages Design'd thy high career to scan; Pertinacity! No veracity In the pen of any man. First to celebrate the glory, In the page ofdeatldess verse; Help me tell so true a story; JNione need mind or make it worse. Direful mystery! What a history I am burning to rehearse.

Scandal, (with all great ones busy,-) Hath ascribed thy origin To , but she's a lying Hiizzie;" Pandora's box thou ne'r wast in; Undcfinable, : Un-"7 i'nme"-able, Prince of all the blue and thin. None have chronicled thy mother, Nor could Esculapius tell Thy sire, or if thou hadst a brother As dire a marvel as thyscl', Like our senators", Thy progenitors' Names were hard for fame to spell. But an inspiration glenmeth Now upon mine inward eye; And I see as one who dreamcth, Through the dark uncertainty; O, iniquity! What antiquity, Fogs and bogs before me Jly! Whilom, when the drenched creation Came to breathe above the flood, Noah, glad for any station, Anchored in a field of mud ; Such a spattering! Teeth a-chattering! Ague in its early bud! See thee soon upon thy travels By the oriental shores; How thy destiny unravels; How thy name in terror soars'. Plague dihivian! No ' Peruvian j' Unimpeded, on it pours! Rivers, lakes, and ponds, and puddles Yield to the pestiferous sway, And their borderers in huddles Trembling its behest obey ; Vainly Pottering, Feebly tottering. None the conqucrcr can stay. Chief of modern system makers, From thy dogmas wide have llown All the world are turning "shaken;"

through thy eloquence alone; So invincible Every principle; Greatest fcchcr ever known! 'Tis enough! in vain the naming All thy miracles ofpow'r; "Symptoms" constantly proclaiming "Now's the dav, and now's the hour!" Fell fatality! All reality ! Ague in its finished flower.
