Travelling Doctors.
From the poxagie Mich, Republican.

From the Dowagie tMieh) Republican.
"People generally hay0 but little confidence
in travelling Doctors, and as rule they are
right There are, however, exceptions to this
rule, as hundreds of inyalds who have been
rescued from premature graves by the skill OF
Drs Price & Brewer, can attest. They have
for a long series of years made visits TO NUNS
Der of towns in this State, and their success
has been such as to demonstrate their skill in
treating chronic diseases, and while numbers
of pretenders to medical science have made a
few visits, making great pretensions and as
great failures, they alone haze continued reg
ularly their visits, and grown steadily in pub
lie favor. The reason is plain. They are hon.
est, honorable and educated practitioners, as
their success in the treatment of chronic COM
plants, aburdan:ly proves. All suffering
should call and see them"
Drs Price Brewer will make their next
visit TO Boscobel, Central House, on Wednes-
day, January 10th, Richland Center, Park Ho,
tel, on Thursday, January 18th.

THE PASTORS DREAM.


The following was not Mr. Eaton's dream OF
last New Years Morning, but "might hav.
been.n
He elsFt strange, sweet, az tated s'eep,
Fell Of mixed images Of hope and fear,
0fstormy midday skies and sunset clear,
OF lovely dales and mountains rough and steep
Then in his dreams he stood upon the deck
OF "a fair ship, the pilot at the helm,
And, as che glided o 'er the watery realm,
OF lurking i'll at hand did little reck.
But soon clouds gathered, the fierce tempest blew,
And the doomed vessel, drifting toward the shore
Wi th all its precioas eight the storm winds bore
And darker, darker still the prospect grew.
Then from tho troubled heart uprose the prayer
Ola firm faith that trusteth in the Lord,
and leans through night and storm upon his word
Deaf to the chilling whisper of despair.
And 10 an angel clothed with flesh and blood
Came to the rescue, lnlied the wrecking storm,
With new hope and strength the crew did
warm,
Till safe in port the gallant vessel stood.
And hosts OF friends waiting on the shore,
Their shouts of welcome niingling with the cheers
OF the glad toilers rescued from their fears,
As thanks and hallelujahs forth they pour
The pastor woke il was not all dream
The air WIS full of song, the skies of praise,
AID the ohureh-chanti cleer in glad amaze
To clap his aged wings and crow did seem.
And troops of friends and neighbors all around.
OF differing name and creed In heart grew one,
Seeing noble work nobly dene.
And with their own admiring good. win crowned.

Congression Industry.

The New York Times furnishes COM
plete list-properly classifed-of the acts
of the Forty-fifth Congress passed at the
two ssssions-special and regular-now
Just closed. Eight mOnths labor Of course
cannot but make pretty formidable show
ing, especially if bearing anything like e
proper ratio in volume, to the volume of
noisy prStSnsion and egOtistie sffrOntery
of the model law-givsrs who ruled the last
Congress. The complete list does indeed
show portentous amount of legislation,
the acts numbering no less than 400, be-
side 40 joint resolutions. Special examin-
alton however reveals the important fact.
that an enormous proportion of this labor
was spent upon private, special and local
matters and show but meager amount
of really important work done. Abeut 40
acts, including the various appropriation
bills, make up the sum total and some Of
these, as may be supposed, are of doubtful
utility. Relief for the needy in numerous
cases of one sort or another has found its
way through this channel. Nearly 100
acts we're of this kind, and a still larger
number were for pensions. These with
score or so removing political disabilities
absorb considerably more than half he
whole list. A considerable number 10
what remains relate to matters of minor
Importance in the District of Columbia or
the Territories, and unimportant amend
ments Of the Revised Statutes or Judiciary
regulations, while others are for such mo
mentous objects as changing the name of
steam tug; to authorizs certain persons
to rectify spirits in certain building; to
change the name and location of a nation
al bank in some country town; to author
ize the binding of document for members;
to authorize naval officer. to "aecept
gilt teapot from the Emperor of Siam,"
&c. The bulk of the work, the results of
which appear in the list of acts passed,
was Of kind that should have taken up
but a moderate amount of time. The
measures generally came ready-made from
the hands Of members whose constituents
were most nearly concerned, were passed
upon in committees, and attracted little
attention or discussion in either house.

From the Christian Union
Teacher andPOet.

Few Americans, dying, have ever left
behind them larger circle of almost per-
sonal friends than Mr.. William Cullen
Bryant. His peronsality was felt in his
writings and his works, and he was not on
ly honored, he was loved by thousands who
never knew him except through his poems
or his paper. He thus exercised a very
profound as we'll as a very wide influence; /;
an influence much wider and more pro-
found than could have been exercised by
his writings but for the personality behind
them.
The length of his life was itself valua-
BILE testimony to the worth of regularity
and temperance in living. His lot was not
only cast in fast age but in fast sphere;
for over half century he was an editor of
a metropolitan daily paper. No American
life is more wearing than that of such an
editor. Yet he preserved his usefulness to
a ripe and serene old age. This he did
partly by the placidity Of his temper, the
serenity of his devout trust and the un-
swerving strength of his political eonvic-
tions, which partook of the nature of a re-
ligious faith, but scarcely less by the re-
gularity and wisdom of his physical habits.
His first poem was published when he was
ten years old. His literary activity, there
fore, covered period of upwards of seven
ty years; q fact almost unparalleled in lit
erary biography. No one ever accused
him or the journal which he controlled of
trimming; he was pronounced Democrat
when Democracy meant liberty, and a
pronounced Republican when Democracy
meant slavery; and ne gave good blows
and received them in many sturdy bat
tie. But he was so scrupulously chivalric
and honorable in all contests, so truly
gentleman when most q warrior, such
Chevalier Bayard among journalists, that
be has left nothing but honor and affec-
tion even among those who were his Bit
terest antagonists.
1t is the fate of editors to be quickly
forgotten. Their best works are but
sparks struck out on the anvil by ringing
blows, and perishing almost as soon as
they appear. Long after Bryant the edi-
tor has been forgotten Bryant the poet
will be sacredly remembered. He is the
poet Of purity. There is not a casuistical
line, not false line in all that he has
written. He sanctifed literature by his
example. Contrast him with the Swim
bournes, the Moores and the Byrons, whose
phosphorescenee is the phOsphorescence of
rottenness. There is no line which q
mother might not read by the side of her
dying child orin the presence of virginia.
purity. He was the interpreter of Nature
rather than Of human experience. In this
he is allied to the old Israelites. Among
the poets of nature in our country he was
one of the first. To the bird, the mountain
and the forest he has given an interest
that will never die.
Asa man, as a political teacher and as
poet his life is an example; his works will
follow him; and though he is gone he is
not lost to America, which will ever be
purer, truer, better, worthier for his noble
life and teaching.

which is to govern the party has been pro-
mulgated, and the people are expected to

Barnes has made an efficient and honest
Secretary of State, and merited the com

years has been recognized as one of the

General Garfield.


General Garfield is likely to be renomin-
ated for Congress without opposition. He
is more popular in his district than he has
ever been before, and the element in his
party which opposed him two years ago is
said to be entirely reconciled to him. This
is considered of so much Importance that
his reelection by an increased majority is
claimed as certain. It is almost superfu-
GUS to say he deserves this. Few men in
Congress have so won the respect Of the en-
tire country as General Garfield, and assur-
snee Of his return at so critical a moment
In political affairs will be hailed as good
news everywhere. N. 2. Tribune (Rep.)
