Hard Times and the Doctors.

The Medical Brief of st Louis, Mo, makes
the following just and considerate appeal
in behalf of the doctors, who feel the effects
of hard times more than any other class
of the community, except perhaps, news.
paper publishers. When money is scarce
The doctors and the printers bills are the
very last to be paid. The Brief says:
mo one fells the financial distress. now
lowering over the country like dark cloud,
more keenly than that class of laboring men
called doctors. Looking behind, over the
work done during the year 1884. memory
calls up many a rugged path filled with
thorns and briers over which they have
trodden. Oftimes their hearts were filled
to OVERLOOKING with sorrow and pain yet,
they paused not, neither did they fail in the
faithful discharge of duty. Buoyed up for the
present by the hope of relieving the suffer-
ings of mankind, they went forward and
filled their places as true humanitarians.
But was this all ? No. The expectation
of pecuniary reward for services rendered,
had naturally and rightly, too, its own cheer
ing influences, coupled with the condition
and happiness of loved ones at home and
Others dependent upon their noble and manly
eXertions.
"The year 1884, has ended. What do
we realize, especially those living in the
country? Books well filled with names; ac-
counts in large numbers drawn of, and get
ting but little money. Can not a remedy be
found, and shall it not be put in practice?
We appeal to the readers of the Brief If
the time has not come when some real pro-
lection should be thrown around these
laborers in the medical profession.
ave ask at least for an equal showing be-
fore the law with other laboring men, which
we have not here in this State, whereby the
earnings of their daily bread shall be secured
to them. Would not uniform rate of
charges, made out by the American Medical
Society, or some other independent Society,
upon cash basis, be the proper course p
But medical societies and our Congress are
just alike; they never appear TO know any
thing about the practical wants of the peo-
pie, and both are awfully slow, when the
demands of the people are before them"

ST. PAUL's DAY.-Next Sunday, January 25th,
will be st. Paul's Day, instituted by the church
In gratitude for the miraculous conversion Of
st. Paul. 1t was generally believed in Western
Europe, and in England, during the middle
ages, that the whole character of the coming
year is prognosticated by the weather on that
day. The common belief was set forth in
quaint verses in Latin, in French and in Eng.
lish. The latter run as follows:
If st. Paul's Day be fair and clear,
1t does betide happy year:
But IL IL chance to snow or rain,
Then will be dear all kind of grain;
II clouds or mist do dark the skie.
Great store of birds and beasts shall die;
And IL the winds do file aloft,
Then war shall vexe the kingdome Oft"
Fair weather on St. Paul's day thus betided q
prosperous year; snow or rain betokened dear
year, and therefore an unfruitful one; clouds
foreboded great mortality among cattle; and
winds were to be the foreruuner of war.
