Our thaRsss; are to Dr. W. n McPhceters, Of
St. Louis, for copy of his Address, delivered in
O'Fallon Hail. October 31st 1853. This Address is
eminently practical and pervaded by spirit every
way worthy of high-toned physician We give
the following extract rs specimen:
"Acclebrated English jurist on being interrogated
by young friend to the requisite for success at
the bar, is said to have replied" Parts and power
ty." In this laconic answer there is deep philoso
ply, as well profound knowledge of human
ture. True there is necessary connection be-
tween poverty and professional success. On the
contrary it is natural to suppose that the freedom
from anxiety i'll reference to pccunary affairs, well
as the many and great advantages which wealth af-
fords for the acquisition of knowledge, would place
POSSeSSOT
for the attainment of high professional rank. Ex-
pcrience however, has abundantly proved that such
is not the case and has demonstrated the fact that
although ardcntly desired, wealth uniformly
as an incubus to the aspirant for professional hon
ors. The reason of this is obvious by removing one
of the main springs of human aetion-necessity it
tends to cngcrder Incidence, and Incidence is fatal to
mental energy.
It is worthy of remark that of those who have be-
come eminent in any of the learned professions, or
| among those who making their mark upon
the age fe,c, rery eso indeed commenced life with
fortune. Let any one who will undertake the cx-
animation, and they cannot but be struck with the
fact, that with here and there honorable excep-
tion the world is rery little indebted to the sons OF
the wealthy, while it owes much, rery mach to the
sons of poverty, who from necessity compelled
to labor for their daily bread at the time they
contend for those higher honors, which like the
prizes Of the Olympic games, are bestowed only as
the reward of personal cxcrtions. Indeed the very
efforts put forth in order to supply the wants of the
body serve also to strengthen the mind and fit it for
/ intellectual achievements while opulence the
other hand by anticipating these minor wants super
cedcs the necessity of cxertion, thereby enervatne
both mind and body, and producing as a necessary
| consequence race Of physical and intellectual
I drones."
