VnEcdictory Address, ptHtertd at Concert Hall, before the Gradu- Class if the Reform Medical College of Georgia, Macon, March 4th, 1858, by Prof. I. Jf. Loomis. Reported by A. E. Marshall. gjiovKP .Students— Ladies and Gentlemen : Naturalists tell us, that in the history and ;,vilopment of organized beings, there are . ,,j, marking various stages of growth; pe- , js when they undergo some material chifcgc ■ 3 their physical organism. In man, these pe- .<!, are marked and important. The intel- ,..<ual and moral man has its crisis no less i_nificnnt than those that, characterize the .’vsical man. This day, to you, gentlemen . •nalized by an event, a crisis, one of the important that will mark your life his* . , r v. This very hour, you pass from the nar- p , limits of the student, to the broad arena d manhood. For the last time you cross the threshold of your Alma Mater, and step out non the theatre of the world. The curtain of tho future is already rising ;«»re you. With fancy’s vision, gaze upon •hit future, (sits horizon lighted up by tho blushing Auroral tints of worldly pleasure j, the meteor fires of ambition blaze athwart its iky ? or is tho whole radiant with the gold light of honor, of usefulness and an undy ins fame? lly the magic of a high purpose, ja! a will that knows no wavering, you may bmllc those Auroral tints, and those meteor r:(s into bcacous that shall light you to im mortality; or you may suffer them to pale a- to taper lights of weak and faltering en i- iror, or to the lurid fires of earthly passion, On nu occasion like this, when long existing are to be severed, when those relations, that hare been, to us, so dear and so valued n about to cease forever, I would not seek to tickle your ear with flourishes of rhetoric, or please your faucy with flowers of speech., To who do not participate in the emotions tkt now stir our hearts—who do not realize the genuineness and the strength of tho affec uni that have bound us together, theec part- •ag words may seem an idlo ceremony. Not si with us. Could I at this moment com my heart into golden thoughts, aud engrave them tpon the tablets of your being with diamond words—thoughts that would awaken aspira mm after a higher and nobler life, I would itrike them off, though some drops of its life, Wood were necessary in annealing them for ihoproccssi iH || gE H M Yoa are abont engaging, for life, in duties ad assuming responsibilities the highest and Mmost sacred known in the relations of man »his fellow-men.

It implies all that is truest and lest in the works of God. The physician should ever aim to cultivate end to combine in his character what is most n.anly and noble belonging to our race. Not only may refine ment of manners and delicacy offeeling add po tency to your means of cure, but a manliless of bearing, and a bigh tone of manhood will inspire a confidence that will ever be invalua ble in the treatment of the sick. A large por tmn, and oftenest the larger portion of reme dial effect comes through the mind and the feelings. By a mental impression, many agents may be caused to produce a result directly the reverse of their normal effect. Bread pills and colored water administered by a physi cian in whose talent and honesty and manli ness the patient has unlimited confidence, will be more potent for good, than the best reme dies from tho hand of a simpleton or a clown. But, be men, not only from professional considerations, but for the sake of humanity. Look out upon the family of man, the toiling millions, who “ only breathe and labor,” and you behold a picture, over which even an an gel might weep. “ The trail of the serpent is over them all.” The beacon lights along the track of history are sacked and burning cities, and history itself is written in blood. The loudest shouts of victory are blent with bitter est wailings, and the proudest niche in the Temple of Fame is carved with the battle- sword. Music that can thrill most deeply the human heart, is employed to ineite men to kill and slay each other, and science has heen tax ed and tortured for means of more successful slaughter. Poetry and song, the artist’s touch and the sculptcr’s art, have laid their proudest trophies at the feet, and twined their greenest wreaths around the brow of him whose heca tombs of human victims are the highest; and the names of Napoleon and Alexander ring through the world, whilst men ask who was John Howard, and who was David Brainard ? In this world, too, wealth is more prized thun worth ; worldly power and position more eagerly sought than purity of life ; and the smiles of men more courted than the approba tion of Heaven. Passion and selfishness seem to control the actions of men more than benev olence and virtue, and men forget that they must live forever. Taking the world as you find it, a question of fearful significance comes home to each of you ; a question that yoa must answer in this world or the next, “ can I, must I devote my life mainly to the welfare of my fellows 7 is it my chief life-mission to labor to make the world better, or am I here merely to get gain, to eat, drink and be merry ?” As physicians, it is yours to heal the sick, and when you can, to get paid for it; but as men you have a high er, a nobler mission. The physician, too, has advantages above those of any other class of men. for benefitting his fellows, spiritually as well as physically. Whilst restoring the body to health, remember, you may be the means of restoring an erring spirit to the path of vir tue, or of awakening aspirations after a purer and a holier life. Of nil men in the world the physician most needs lofty views of life, of du ty, and of human destiny. You must not ex pect to reform the world, but iu passing thro’ it, the record of your life, such as it is, will be written never to be erased. “ And there be none of all the poorest poor That walk the world, worn heart-bare; none so poor Hut they may bring a little human love To mend the world.” ta li ttar 'gPinmed pavilion of heaven, the - - £“ !s of God are written in characters of 4®* I'ght, aud of fadeless beauty.

Cast your life, such as it is, such as you may make it, into the scale of virtue, of religion, and of the highest good, that departing, you may leave your quota towards elevating man to the golden height once his, but now so wholly lost. Man has a higher destiny than time can measure. Live for the future, the future, not only of this life, but that future which stretches away towards the limitless shores of eternity. Though the best aud noblest life may not meet its just award in the courts of time, yet in that “ better land," all shall be adjusted on the scale of equity and justice. T here, virtue shall claim its reward, and truth and goodness, love and sympathy, worth and genius, shall wreathe and bloom in amaranthine beauty, fadeless forever. Live, then, not for self, not for time; live for the good of others, and for a higher state of being. Sell the golden moments of life here, at their highest quotation in the mart of eter nity ! This world is not the home of human happiness. By a life devoted to God, and to your fellow man, you can alone secure it in Heaven. Cultivate the finer sympathies of your na ture—they will lend a charm and a power to all your life. Thomas Noon Talfourd, a dis tinguished jurist of Great Britain, one of the most beautiful of writers, and the best of men, fell instantly dead upon tho bench, two years since, whilst addressing the jury. The last words he uttered, as the spirit fled, were,— What the world needs, is more sympathy,"— More sympathy between human hearts, would surely “ mend the world." For this world is full of beauty, as other worlds above, Aud if we did our duly, it might be full of love. 1 It has been charged thatphysicians, in their frequent contacts with suffering and distress, lose those delicate sympathies which they may once have possessed. I deny the charge. Poets and preachers may talk more sentimentalism, but for an active, living sympathy, shown in countless acts of charity, of tenderness and of love, physicians, os a class, rank first among the son's of men. Guard well, and with sleepless vigilence, your purity of heart and life. No man needs it more, and in none is it beset by more, frequent, or more fearful temptations, than in the physician. Exhibit a heroism, and a spirit of self deni al. equal to the demands of your noble calling. Often, at midnight, when the blast goes “wail • ing by," when the storm beats wildly upon your secure and quiet home, will the summons of distress awaken you from needed sleep, and bid you brave the storm, perhaps for long weary miles, without the hope of reward, other than the consciousness of duty performed.— Yet Heaven records sacrifices such as these on the credit side of the book of reckoning. Be scrupulously temperate in all things.— You will ever need the cool head, the clear eye, the firm nerve, and the steady hand, known not to the drunkard, the sensualist or the glut ton. How often has geuius, and manliness, and all that can ennoble the human character, gone down in the whirlpool of intemperance; and now, when those hell waters are tho vilest mixtures of drugs and poisons, no man can meddle with them and be safe. Unless you expect to see your professional craft wrecked, and foundered, and lost, guide it clear of the quicksands, the rocks and maelstroms of in temperance. In sailing to Europe, a few y ears since, our noble ship encountered one of the most terrific hurricanes that ever swept over the Atlautic. After a calm for many days aud nights, one still bright morning, the mercury in the barometer commenced rapidly falling. Every available patch of canvas was spread to the softly breathing zephyr that now and then rippled quietly the placid bosom of the sea.— Our gallant captain, catching the first indica tions of the barometer, ordered the entire ship s crew to be tuunnioued, and the sails to be lull- ed as speedily as possible. The boatswain’s whistle sounded, the officers seized their trum pets, and almost iu a moment, each man was at his post. A black, angry cloud skirted the northwestern horizon. Like the dense and stifling smoke from a thousand furnaces, belch- ing.it from beneath the sea, it came, whirling, rolling np, until the sun was obscured,’“and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” A broad gleam of lightning blazed across its massy folds, and a thunder peal boomed over the dark troubled waters. Rain and tempest were upon us. The captain’s clear eye com manded every rope in the ship. Higher rose the fury of the storm, until we seemed to be gli ding through vallies and over mountains; and the tremblings of the ship sounded like the ceaseless roaring of a mighty cataract. Calm ly and coolly the captain watched the progress of the storm, and commanded his ship and its mem The scene became wildly grand and exciting, far beyond the power of human lan guage to describe it. But more madly still swept the storm, until the sea was seething and smoking, and wailing and thundering beneath a wild tornado’s fearful tread. Four of the sailors were carried by the violence of the wind out of the rigging into the sea. No wild terror-shriek wa3 heard above the “noise of waters,” as each fell, never to rise again. The men were ordered down. Under the skill and precision of the captain’s orders, all had been done that human energy could accomplish. The tornado became yet more terrific still First went over mizzen mast, then followed the fore mast, and at length the main mast, until masts, and spars, chains, twisted irons, parted ropes, shrouds and sails were dragging and tugging heavily at her side, and the noble Connecticut,” a few hours before proudly riding the sea “like a thing of life,” was now a fearful wreck, floundering almost at the mercy of the storm and the waves. The cap tain ordered three men to the wheel, and watch ing each wave as it rose like a mountain, threat ening to whelm us forever, gave his orders in a clear calm tone, watchful, hopeful,and unflinch ing to the last, when at length the clouds rolled away, and the sun shone out upon our floating wreck and upon the foam crested “world of wa ters.” I stood near the captain through all that wildly fearfulscene. His cheek never blanch ed, and there was no trembling of voice or hand. But for his foresight, and skill, and coolness, we had never seen the green earth, or our homes again. Follow me to another scene. We were ap proaching the “rock bound coast” of England A fierce wind was blowing landward. Huge rocks were peering above the water with the sea surging and foaming over them. The pi lot came alongside and ordered the ship about. Our captain was beastly drunk, aud put about in the wrong direction. We were float ing directly upon the breakers. They were fearfully near us, yet onward we floated. De struction seemed inevitable. My heart sank to the bottom of my being. By the skill and talent of our talented commander, we had once been saved from a watery grave; now by his drnnken blunder we were on the very verge of destruction. The pilot, after making the wildest gesticulations to head the ship the other way, succeeded in getting cn board. Almost ia a phrenzy he gave the necessary orders to adjust the sails for turning the ship, which he accomplished in time only, as he afterwards told us, to place two or three minutes between us and eternity. Had not that noble pilot been at hand, 1 would not be here to speak to you to-day. Should an inclination even to touch, taste, or handle the lethean cup enter your heart, first reflect upon the difference be tween a sober and a drunken ship captain. Think, too, that on the ocean of life, you will encounter storms, and breakers will be ahead, and in an evil hour, when no pilot is near, your little life bark may go down to perdition. Take on board the good pilot, “Total Absti nence,” and you will never be wrecked on the breakers of Intemperance But the parting moment has come. In all the world’s gay scenes, amid the hot pursuit of gain and the strugglings of ambition, when pleasure weaves her vapor wreath of beauty, when love sighs, and joy wears her brightest smiles, in deep under tones, “the last time," is ever swelling out. dirge-like, through all the ways of life. Friends and lovers, pupils and teachers, meet for the last time. The last greet ing, and the last farewell must come to us all. Had I Elijah’s power, I would command the sun to stand still awhile, that we might linger yet a little longer around this parting scene. A thousand thoughts, to which I would fain give utterance, ere you depart, are crowding upon me. But instead of them I must utter the word that will sever us, perhaps forever! I see you go, and imagination, ever busy with the future, follows you to your varied homes. From North Carolina to Texas you will be scattered over our flower decked and beautiful South, and my heart, too, will be with you there. But how little do I know of your fu ture lot. For some of you, I might safely pre dict a high and noble destiny, yet the world is full of failures and of blighted hopes; and the “is it I?” that so naturally* arises in the mmd of each, will furnish no key to the prob lem of your future. What that future shall be, Heaven assenting, depends more upon your own right arm and your own unbending will, than all other influences combined. Thus far you have trodden nearly the same pathway. This moment you sit side by side, the next you strike out into the world in paths that will ever more and more widely diverge, and years to come how wide may be that divergence! Near the home of my boyhood, in the Empire State.a lovely valley stretches north and south, across one of the most beautifully romantic regions of our land.’ Crossing the valley is a gem of a mound, covered with grass and wild flowers. Often have I gathered dandelions and violets on its green sunny banks. On one side of it, the water running off passes down the valley, and mingling with a sparkling rivulet, pursues its course, until it enters Canada Creek, thence on to the Alleghany, the Ohio, and floating proudly on the bosom of the “Father of Wa ters,” it at length reaches the Gulf of Mexico. The water passing off the other side takes a different route, aud passing to the Genessee River, and on, over a succession of the most beautiful and romantic cataracts, it reaches Lake Ontario, thence onward it passes down the river St. Lawrence, winding and lingering amidst its thousand islands untU borne on the ebbing tides of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it reaches the artic seas. Two rain drops glit tering iu the morning sunlight, may hang like tears from the blue eyes of the same “Forget- me-not,” yet a light breeze-kiss parts them aud henceforth how severed is their destiny! One is ere long basking beneath the smiles of a tropic sky, iu tho land of the orange, the date and tho pomegranate, where flowers display their brightest hues and breathe their sweetest perfumes all the year,—where songs of gay pluinaged birds never cease, and where beauty crowns the smiling seasons as they pass. The other is soon locked in the freezing embrace of some icy jotun of the North. Thus two drops of humanity, trembling together upon tho tree of life may part forever. One may tread the path that leads td honor, to usefulness, to glory and to God,”—the other, to infamy, to want, and to “everlasting contempt.” these devious paths open out before you. now. Which will you cuter, which pursue 7 Life has turning points, hut no standing point. The watch word of destiny is, “On, forever on!” Upwards or downwards, direct or retrogade, move on forever. “Son progredi, tsl regredi" As years roll by, when temptation lures, when the syren voice of passion breathes its seducing melody into your heart, remember yielding then may constitute the turning point in your destiny. Strike out for a glorious career. Live for something nobler and better than dollars and cents, or the applause of men “If the world's broad field of battle. In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb driven battle. Be a hero in the strife. * * * * * * » Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Foot-prints on the sands of time. Foot-priuts that perhaps another Sailing o’er life's sofemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let ns then be np and doing With a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.” But the word that will dissolve the sp^ll that has bound U3 must be spoken. It lingers on my tongue, and around my heart, but I must say—Farewell! The Labor Question ia Jamaica. As the New York Express remarks, Free- negroism in Jamaica has reduced that beau tiful island to a very miserable condition, if we may judge by an article we copy from the Kingston Journal, edited by a colored man. The industrial resources of the island are go ing to absolute wreck and ruin for want of la borers. The government is making a loud call for “hands” to work on the plantations, and has established—or is going to establish— agencies for hiring the needed help, in Europe and the .United States. Government loans are likewise talked of to offer inducements to immigrants. Thus, notwithstanding the extensive impor tation of Coolies from Asia, there is yet a good deal more work to be done in Jamaica than there are hands to do it with—or rather more work than the unenterprising, indolent, thrift less free-negro can be coaxed to perform. There is population enough on the island to cultivate every square inch of it, without ne cessitating the importation of a single laborer from abroad—but the difficulty is that the con stitutionally lazy nature of the African is all averse to those habits of industry which can alone develope the resources of the island. In other words, without a master, the negroes as a class, are utterly worthless as laborers. But the labor question is the great question of the age. There is a vast scarcity of “hands” in nearly all the most fertile and favored por tions of the earth. We of the Southern States of this Union are sadly in want of more labor ers ; and to turn our tobacco and cotton re gions to good account, we must have them in some form or other. This labor question is indeed a momentous and vital one, and should command the profoundest consideration of the philosopher and the statesman. It has to be met in the not distant future; and it is well for us to begin to look at it calmly in the face. The following is the extract from the King ston Journal: The Governor and the Executive Commit tee are losing no time in carrying into execu tion the provisions of the act of last session for increasing the laboring population of the colo ny. The act authorizing the negotiation of a loan of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds to defray the expenses contingent upon the im portation of immigrants, which sum will be provided, as set forth in the following clause of the Act: Until the necessary loan can be obtained there is a balance of £50,000 out of the £100,- 000 which was raised on the faith of an export tax upon produce, which will be appropriated to the purposes of the new Act. Upon the strength of this the agent General of Immigra tion has notified, in accordance with the 9th clause of the Act, that all proprietors and man agers of estates who require immigrants must at once enter into the necessary arrangements with him. The plaees mentioned in the Act, where agencies will be established, arc Madeira, the Azores, the Canaries, the Cape Verde Is lands, Europe, the United States and the British Provinces of America. It wisely pro vides for the introduction of a proportionate number of Immigrants of both sexes, and en joins that “In making any assignment of immi grants, it shall not be lawful for the immigra tion agent to separate husbands from wives, nor children, under the age of fifteen years from their parents or natural protectors.” “This act has been universally declared to be the best of all the legislative provisions which have from time to time been made for increas ing the population of the Colony by means of immigration. The only drawback to the mea sure is, that the number of immigrants which will be brought here will be utterly inade quate to the wants of the country. It is ex pected that the total increase, when the loan is obtained, will be 100,000—a number by no means equal to the demand for labor. Had there been provisions for ten times that num ber, there would not be too £aany. A north- side cotemporary writing on the subject, has very truthfully observed that 100,000 “will not even be sufficient to make up for the deaths that took place iu the rural districts, during prevalence of cholera and small pox.” BntTed Alive. A letter dated Holland, Erie county, l’a., March 15, says: A very nffliettive dispensation of Providence has taken place within twenty miles of this place. A Presbyterian minister named Reed was going to attend a meeting of the presbyte ry. He stopped over night with another min ister at a private house. Mr. Reed was taken with a fit in the night, and it was supposed he had died. The other minister being in a hur ry to get to the meeting in season, had him buried the next day. On his return from meet ing, he left word at Oxford that their minister was dead and buried. His friends went imme diately to get his remains and bring them to Oxford, when, to their great sorrow, they dis covered that he had been buried alive. The cover of the coffin was split, and his shroud was completely torn -off and turned nearly on his face. He was a bachelor, and a very wor thy man. His dreadful death is much lament ed.” GEORGIA Mastic Roofing |rf w Company, ZEELIN, HUNT & CO., PROPRIETORS OF RUSSELL’S PATENT Fire <3z> Water Proofl MASTIC HOOFING O 3ST CANVAS, HAVING purchased the right to use and sell the above BOOKING for several SOUTHERN STATES, we are now prepared to do ROOFING or SELL RIGHTS to use the same.

Bayard Taylor says of a wind called the Bora, that sweeps the descent toward the Adri atic, on the Vienna and Trieste Railroad : The Bora, which blows over the southern edge of the table land, is at times strong enough to stop the trains, which are often detained several hours from this cause. On the oldest post-road there are special officials, chosen for their familiarity with the wind and its accom panying signs, whose duty it is to inform trav- lers whether they can pass with safety. When the wind is at its height, it is strong enough to overturn tho heaviest wagons, aud the officials have then authority to prevent every one from passing. During the Italian revolution of 1849, a company of dragoons, on their way to Lombardy, were stopped for this reason. The officer, a young fellow with more brag than brains, said: “We are going to be at the rebels, and it is foolish to say the wind can stop us,” marched on in defiance of the official warning, and was presently, horse and all, blown off the precipice. Out of the whole company but sixteen men escaped.

SANFORD, Compounded entirely from GUMS, I S ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AND LIVt ER .MEDICINES now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic, easier, milder, and more effectu al than any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on thestomnch aud bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplish- ingtwo purposes effectually, without any of the pain ful feelings experienced in the operations of mos- Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same lime that it purges it; and when taken daily in mode rate doses, will strengthen and build it up with un usual rapidity. i ■ The LIVER is one of, the principal regulators of the human body, and .3 1 when it performs its functions well, the pow-! Mj ers of the system are ful ly developed. The stom- ' ache is almost entirely dependent on the heal-;/ - s thy action of the Liver for the proper perform-ance of its functions; when tho stomach is at fault, and the wholesys- tem suffers i n conse- U-J quence of one organ— the LIVE R—having: U ceased to do its duty. For the disease of that: j organ, one of the pro prietors has made it his:study, * na practice of more than twenty years, l - to find some remedy wherewith to counteract \ : the many derangements to which it is liable. ! A - ; To prove that this re-. p—^ 1 medy is at last found, any person troubled with LIVER COM PLAINT, in any of itf /**Y forms, has but to try a bottle, and conviction!^/1 is certain.
