address of Judge Barrett at Dart
month
II. G. YARMOUTH,
Gov. of Louisiana.

Judge Barrett, of our Supreme Court,
delivered the annual address before the
Phi Beta Kappa Society of Dartmouth
College recently The address has been
very highly commended by the press and
those who heard it. Below we give an abb
stract taken from the Boston Journal, of
that excellent production
His subject was The proper relation
of Ambition and Duty to Character, in
men devoted to the learned professions and
calings, and in public life" The speaker
handled his theme in an able, eloquent and
mastery manner. The following is a
brief abstract of the address
1t may be stated with sufficient practi-
cal accuracy that the spirit,-the man of
the individual, under his conditions Of ex-
istence, makes known his nature and its
worth through the medium Of his visible
practical life Diligence does not charac-
terize Incidence. Great attainments are
not made by idleness Great achievements
are welded to the efforts of great abilities.
In organized society certain standards be-
come established, with reference to which,
as among themselves, the relative merits
of men are adjudged, and their respective
characters determined in the forum of hu-
man Judgment With reference to this
fact men in great measure form their pur-
pose in life and put forth their efforts to
accomplish them. And herein ambition,
and the various moving and modifying in
fluences attending each individual man
find scope and operation, producing for
him the detail and sum total of his part
and portion in the drama Of life.
To be able and successful in given
calling does not necessarily imply bench
cent and worthy man. In proof OF this
may be cited the example of Lord Bacon
Bolingbroke, jefferson, Aaron Burr, Mira
beau. Thomas Paine, Fielding, Lawrence
Sterne, Sheridan, Burns, Byron and many
others. To be a good statesman or legis-
lator, good minister or lawyer or doctor,
in the larger and more comprehensive
sense, implies the being good man: Only
by combining the best qualities OF heart
and life with those that more peculiarly
and exclusively pertain to professional and
official life, can the highest ability and
worth be secured.
The necessity of doing is the correla-
tive of the faculties with which man Is en-.

dowed and the fact of doing is the only
alternative against death. do or die
is the behest. "Work or starve,' Is the
law. They who have won in this life
have left enduring monuments of them
selves along the worlds history. A young
man NAV inherit the paternal name as well
as the maternal estate, but a fathers honors
he cannot inherit The son may rejoice IN
them, but not as his own. In general men
are recognized and acknowledged tor just
what they show themselves to be.
The modest leather dealer OF Galena,
who. with undistinguished rank, had grad
uated in his youth at the National Mill
tary School, when dutifully he protfered
his services to the military authorities of
his State in the early days of the Great
Rebellion, was indifferently regarded by
those who were seizing on every help in
organizing the hosts of liberty and Union.
Three years of progressive development
and terrible ordeal brought him forth as
the alone man adequate to the desperate
necessities of the nation in that dark period
of its peril; and the fourth year sealed
him in the Judgment of the world as the
great Captain of the century, and con-
signed him to history with lustre not
outshone by the Alexanders, the Hanni-
balls, the Caesars, the Fredericks, the Ma
poleons, the Wellingtons of all time. God
grant that in the future of his life that
lustre may be consecrated by halo OF
civic glory like that which renders
Washington resplendent above them all,
TGreat applause.
Ambition may grow dull and slumber.
Duty is ever wakeful and watchful. Am
bition may incite to great deeds and ex-
alted name. Duty impels to deeds good
as well as great The one is an earth
born dweller in the human heart. The
other is an imperious Angel from the
throne of God charged with the highest
prerogatives over the soul of man. To
the young men especially | would say that
there is scope and verge and occupation
for every grade and cast of educated mind,
and the work of each, done according to his
gifts and ability, will secure to each that
response to his ambition which he shall
Justly merit, if not the full measure Of
present ecat that would satisfy his self
appreciation Superadd to this the con-
sciousness of duty performed, and the ut
most need of earthly aspiration and effort
will crown the present life, and a glorious
immortality will await the future.

mony 1.-The more work / have to do, the
more I have resorted to the pump or the
teapot" On this branch OF the SUBJ
iect, all the testimony is against alcoholic
drinks. Whenever the point has been
tested ,and it has often been tested, ,thetruth
has been confirmed that he who would do
his very best and most, whetherin rowing
lifting, running, Watching moving, climb
ing, fighting, speaking, or writing, must
not admit into his system one drop OF alco-
hol Trainers used to allow their men
pint of beer per day, and severe trainers
half pint; but now the knowing ones
have cut off even that moderate allowance,
and brought their men down to cold water,
and not too much of that, the soundest
digesters requiring little liquid of any kind.
Mr.. Bigelow, by his happy publication
lately of the correct version of Franklin's
Autobiography, has called to mind the IA
nous beer passage in that immortal work:
4" | drank only water; the other workmen,
near fifty in number, were great guzzlers
of beer On occasions | carried up and
down stairs large form of types In each
hand, when others carried but one in both
hands" | have a long list of references
on this point but, in these cricketing, boat
racing, prize-fighting days, the fact has
become too familiar to require proof. The
other morning, Horace Greeley, teetotaler,
came to his office after an absence Of sew
eral days, and found letters and arrears of
work that would have been appalling to
any man but him. He shut himself in at
ten A. NJ, and wrote steadily, without
leaving his room. till eleven p. NJ. thirteen
hours. When he had finished, he had
some difficulty in getting down stairs, owing
to the stiffness of his joints caused by the
long inaction; but he was as fresh and
smiling the next morning as though he had
done nothing extraordinary. Are any of
US drinkers of beer and wine capable of
such feat? Then, during the war, when
he was writing his history, he performed
every day, for two years, two days work.
one from nine to four, on his book the
other, from seven to eleyen, upon The Tn
6une, and, in addition, he did more than
would tire an ordinary man in the way of
correspondence and public speaking. L
may also remind the reader, that the cler-
gyman who, of all others in the United
States, expends most vitality, both with
tongue and pen, and who does his work
with least fatigue and most gayety of heart
is another of Franklin's "water Ameri-
cans"

A GRoTEsoUE smile is sometimes very

the Sunday very much mixed up in his
