OmTUART.-Dr. A. b. Crosby, who died
at Hanover, N. H., last Thursday, aiier an
illness of only two days, was one of the
leading physicians of this section; as a
lecturer before medical classes he had few
equals, and as a man he possessed such
genuine kindliness of heart as endeared
him TO all who knew him. His father was
the noted DIR. Dixi Crosby, professor of
Surgery and Anatomy in Dartmouth. Dur
ing the war DIR. Crosby served as surgeon
in one of the New Hampshire regiments,
aud subsequently resumed the practice of
his profession in Hanover, most of his
time, however, having been spent in New
York city for the last few years. He has
always kept up his summer residence at
Hanover, and was in this way able TO con-
tinue his lectures in the medical college
there aIter his connection with Bellevue Col
lege, N. Y. He was for six years professor
of Surgery in the Vermont University.

President Hayes's administration is so
popular in California that it has greatly
frightened the prospect for sending Re-
publican to the U. S. Senate 10 succeed Mr..
Sargent. The Democrats started upon the
campaign confident of success, based large
ly on the fact Of their having sixteen hold
over Senators in the Legislature. But part
ly by bad local nominations, and partly
because of assurances that large number
of men who voted for Tilden are support
ing Hayes, it is now thought that the Re-
publicans have at least an even chance of
success. Every Republican county con-
vention has endorsed The President, and
not Democratic convention has dared to
assail him.

OF the President. II Is TO the viclors be-
long the spoils' men, for the most part.
However, on both sides these men are in
earnest They believe In 1t. From care
ful inquiry made OF more than fifty men,
representing all sections Of tho State, as
they were met, business men, ex-members
OF the LEGISLATURE, farmers, ETC., the sum-
ming up would be something as follows:
"a majority of the business men and
those who are not active in politics are Ell
ther satisfied with the Presidents policy or
are willing TO give il a fair trial. The num-
Der of the very hostile wing is not 80 large
as has been given out, and ii is due TO local
influences largely. The resolutions arc
subject of comment, many approving and
quite as many being opposed TO their form
and length. 1t is said that Mr.. Blaine Is
the author. They bear the marks of care
full preparation, and are somewhat remark
able for the year 1877.
There would be good ground for appre-
hension, concerning the result of the pend
ing election in Maine, were II not for the
fact that Gov. Connor is an exceptionally
strong candidate. As it is, ho will be elect
ed by fair majority, because many will
forget the platform TO remember the man."

But this-ths one that gave thee birth
A hundred years ago, beauteous motherI
This mighty century had mightier brother,
Who from the watching earth
Passed but last year! Twin-born indeed were they
For what are twelve months to the womb Of time
Pregnant with ages f-HAnd in hand they climbed
With clear young eyes uplifted to the stars
With great strong souls that stopped for bars
Through storm and darkness up to glorious dAyl
Each knew the others need; each in his breast
The subtitle tie Of closet kin confessed;
Counted the Others honor a. his own;
Nor feared to sit upon 4 separate throne;
Nor loved each other less When-wondrous fatel-
One gave Nation life, and one State!
VI.
Oh! rude the cradle in which each was rocked,
The infant Nation and the infant State!
Rough nurses were the Centuries, that Knocked
At mother-kisses, snd for mother-arms
Gave their young musings sudden harsh alarms
Quick blows and stern rebuffs. They babe theua
wait,
Often in cold and hunger, while the feast
Was spread for Others aud, though last not least
Gave them sharp swords for playthings and the din
or actual battle for the mimic strife
That childhood glories in
Yet not the less they loved them. Spartans they
Who could not rear weak, eifeminate brood.
Better the forests awful solitude,
etter the desert spaces, where the day
Wanders from dawn to dusk and finds no life!
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1877-08-17

But over all the tireless years swept on,
Till side by side the Centuries grew oil l.
And the young Nation, great and strong and hold
Forgot its early struggles, in triumphs later won!
II stretched its arms from East to West;
II gathered to its mighty breast
From every Cline from every soil.
The hunted sons Of want and toll;
1t gave to each dwelling place;
1t blent them in one common race;
And over ALL from sea to sea-
Wide Few the banner Of the free!
1t did not fear the wrath of hngs
Nor the dread grip Of deAdlier things
Gaunt Famine with its CHASTITY horde
Dishonor sheathing It's foul sword
Nor fAithless friend, nor treacherous blow
Struck in the dark by stealthy foe;
For over all its wide domain,
From shore to shore, from main to main,
From vale to mountain top, it saw
The re ign Of plenty, peace and AwI

Thus Jared the Nation, prosperous, great. and free,
Prophet and herald of the good to be:
And on its humber way, In calm content,
The lesser State, the while, serenely went
Safe in her mountain Businesses she dWelt
Her lfe's first cares forgot, its woes unfeit
And thought her bitterest tears had all been she'd
FOR peace was in her borders aud God regned over.

o woman-form, majestic, strong and fair
Sitting enthroned where In upper air
Thy mountain poaka in solemn grandeur rise,
Piercing the splendor Of the summer Skies
Vermont Our mighty mother crowned to-day
In all the glory Of thy hundred years,
II thou dost bid me sing, how can but obey
What though the lips may tremble, and the verse
That fain would grandly thy grand deeds rehearse
May trip and falter, and the stammering tongue
Leave all unrhymed the rhymes that should be sung7
can but do thy bidding, as ~ meet,
Bowing in humble homage at thy feet
Thy royal feet-and II my words are weak,
o crowned One, twas thou didst bid me speahi

All! how they answered let the ages tell,
For they shall guard the sacred story well
Green grows the grass to-day on many battle
field;
Wars dread alarms are DER; its scars are healed
Its bitter agony has found surceAse;
reunited land clasps hands in peace.
But, oh ye blessed dead, whose graves are stroUn
From where our forests make perpetual moan,
To those far shores where smiling Southern seas
Give back soft nnrmura to the fragrant bresEe-
Oh ye who drained for us the bitter cup,
Think yo we can forget what ye have offered upf
The years will com and go, and other centuries die
And generation after generation lie '
Down in the dust but long as stars shall ahine
Long as Vermont's green hills shall bear the pine.
As long as killington shall proudly lift
It's lofty peak above the storm-cloud's rift,
Or Mansfield hail the blue o'erarchinR skies,
Or fair Mount Anthony in grandeur rise,
So lon shall live the deeds that We have done.

But suddenly over the hills there came
cry that rent her with grief and shame
cry from the nation In sore distress,
Stricken down in the pride of its mil htinessI
with passionate Ardor up she sprang
And her voice like the peal Of trumpet rang
what no what no brave sons Of mine,
Strong with the strength Of the mountain pinel

The Nation is bleeding in deadly ARRAY,
The Nation, It may be, is dying day
Oh, then to the rescued away! away!d
