JARVIS' ADDRESS BEFORE THE ALUMNI SOCIETY OF RANDOLPH MACON COLLEGE. . "" Tlius spanning the chasm which divides the old from the new, the re mainder of my time will be taken up with some practical remarks intended more particularly for those who are about to be enrolled among the Alumni. They are about to exchange the quiet harbor, whore they have been carefully guarded and skillfully fitted out, for the waves of the wide sea where their safety depends much upon tlieir own pilotage. Those of us who have been tossed and buffet ed for years upon these watery know how furiously they do sometimes lash our little barks, and how necessary it is when these stotfms come that wisdom shall be our pilot and cour age our helmsman. Out on this sea, my young friend, it is sometimes storm, sometimes calm, sometimes rain and sometimes sunshine, some times the winds are prosperous and sometimes adverse. I would not have you believe that there are no havens of rest and beauty along the voyage. There are many, thank God! j ! dotted all along life's coast, plant ed there by the hand of an all-wise and beneficent Creator. It will not j do, however, to linger too long with in these pleasant retreats. Ulysses could mt forever remain in the en chanteclSsland Avith Calypso. The t ship that lies in port is of but little value to her owners. To bring re venue to them, she must sail out upon the ocean and brave perils. So too must man. Many that go out are stranded upon the shoals and never return. So too many make shipwrecks of themselves. Beacon lights have been erected to warn the mariners of the dangers upon. which others were destroyed. The lives of those who have gone before us will serve, if we will but utilize the expe rience, to warn us of our dangers or to give courage to our efforts and good cheer to our labors. It is possi ble that I may say something which will cause some one of them, w hen the storm approaches, to look to these beacons; and, taking the lessons of truth and wisdom they have learned here as their chart, steer straight for ward with their eyes fixed on right, ; tJ polar star 1 c" 1 . Neither the jostling world nor the ! practical age in which they are to live tolerates a dreamy sentiment or Utopian follies. Practical ideas and practical wisdom are their chief characteristics; and he will succeed best who best utilizes the lessons he has learned and the means placed at rnmmand : "IS command Service has been the natural condi- tion of man since the divine decree went forth, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou thou eat bread, till thou return Unto the ground." .It is uni versal in its application, and its obli gation ends only with the grave. No man is exempt from it, and he who refuses Jto obey it is a failure. It is the condition of success. He . who succeeds must work. The idler may le harmless, but he is a drone in his household, a burden to society, and a curse to any community. All hon est labor is honorable, and should have the favor of all good people. He who is not fitted for the professions, will find it in the eyes of proper-thinking people just as honorable to serve on the farms, in the workshops, .or at the trades. The successful farmer, merchant or mechanic is the equal of the successful lawyer, doctor or poli tician; and incomparably greater than the professional failure ! I desire to emphasize this because too many of our young men are disposed to - ;V'"' !' v." linger around the portals of the many gtorieJ temple of the professions who have but little hope of mounting even to the first floors. This inclination is strenghtened by the false notion that manual labor is not honorable. The Ladies, generally our leaders in the path of duty and the ways that are goqd, are not altogether blameless for this false idea about labor. The more fashionable and less thoughtful of them sometimes frown upon the man who works with his hands for an honest living, while they smile upon the dainty darling of fashion. Let me at least hope they do not know the evil they do. Sck senti ments drive jroung men to idleness, idleness to want, want to crime and crime to disgrace. If you encounter this sentiment anywhere, young gen tlemen, let it have no influence upon you. It comes of thoughtlessness, and is not worthy of respect. Never be idle. Be always at work never out of service. Neither turn your back upon manual labor or those who are engaged in it. for it is the man who, in the sweat of his brow, makes the hidden properties of the seed, the soil and the air, under nature's wond rous guidance, to grow into golden grain or fleecy cotton ; or who, with fire and furnace, transmutes the rough ore into serviceable metal; or by forge and anvil, still further trans forms the metal into tools for man's use, and with them builds houses and cities, that creates the true wealth of a State. A word of advice to the jToung ladies present. It is this: Whomso ever else you wed, do not marry a lazy man. He is not worth marry ing. His sluggish hands will not make, bread nor his idle brain buy dresses, and it is not altogether fash ionable or very convenient to do with out either. Rather trust the man who is never idle, even if his hands be brawny Tiitcr-his service humble. There is a moral in thTriry4liological union of Venus and Vulcan the g?rd-4j dess of beauty and the tawny king of the anvil. There is grandeur, as well as. fidelity to nature, in the picture drawn by the great Scotch novelist in the marriage of the Fair Maid of Perth to lion-hearted and iron-handed Smith, rather than to the silken gloved Rothsay, or any of his lute playing courtiers. The great incentive to all service is the hope of reward. It spurs on man's flagging energies and often keeps him at the post of duty. But for the hope of gathering the fruit of our toils, labor would become an in tolerable bondage. It is well that an all-wise Crea'or has so adjusted the affairs of this life that wisi and well directed 'service is sure of its reward; while nothing but failure may be ex pected from that which is ill-advised or badlj- performed. A few sugges tions ns to how this service should be performed may not prove amiss. First, it must be performed with energy and determination. Feeble, faltering, hesitating service does not deserve and will not achieve success. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might," is not only the scriptural, but. a wise rule. Secondly, it must be done bravely. In the battle of life cowards seldom win. Courage is not more necessary in the sharp encounter of hostile armies than in the every day conflict of life. Difficulties will arise, but they will be overcome if met with a bold unconquerable will; and the greater the difficulty and the strong er the courage, the greater the vic tory. Thirdly, let the performance of the service be straightforward and direct. Never resort to methods of indirec tion. They seldom succeed and are never commendable. An open, man ly course is not only the surest road to success, but it will always com mand, even in the untoward accident of failure, the respect of your fellow men. Fourthly, the service must be right no matter how tempting the offer or how great the promised reward, no service should be undertaken that is not strictly legitimate in the sight of the law of God and of man. Unless it has the unqualified approval of your conscience, let it alone. If its propriety be debatable, touch it not. Fifthly, it must be continued till the work is done. There is to be no forfeiture of contracts or failure of obligations ; nor is there to be any end of service, "Till thou return unto the ground" was the decree. But all along you will receive your reward, and they will be jusHn proportion to the efficiency of the service. While the service ends with the grave, the rewards, thank-heaven! do not. The good deeds done in service will live after you, and generations to come will bless your name and keep your memery green. I pray God that this great Centen nial year will be the end of all strife irf this land of ours. As this year one hundred years ago was the end of the struggle for freedom, may this year be the end of our struggle for recon ciliation; and, as from the bloody plains of Yorktown in 1781, the sun of liberty rose to shed his beneficent rays for all time to come upon free America, so, in 1881, from these fields, may the sun of an absolute and ever, lastingly reconciled brotherhood rise, never again'to be dimmed while time shall last. Yes, my friends, as the people gather from the North and from the South, from the East and from the West, and meet upon that sacred soil, may the spirit of an hund red years ago fall upon them, and bind them together in bonds of loye and confidence that can never be rent asunder. And when they leave that hallowed ground, may that spirit go with them, and abide with them, and all the people, forevermore. That such will be the case I verilv believe. I have an abiding faith in the people and in their determination to preserve the institutions of their fathers. I have never seen the hour, even in the darkest days of our country's history, that I had any fear of these institutions being overturn ed. The talk of empire and of change in our form of government, of which we have heard so much of late years, has given me no concern. That men did contemplate such a revolution, I had no doubt; but that they would be able to accomplish it, I had no fears. The people stood in the way, and in them I had the utmost confi dence. So the people will ever stand, upholding the right and trampling upon the wrong. If you would have their favor, yOu must study their interests and make right and justico the rule of your lives. Do not let the fact that the people them selves are sometimes misled by de signing men, ever encourage you to do wrong. They will surely find out their trust has been betrayed, and they will speedily remit their betray ery to private life and to oblivion. No Centennial pageant shall ever gather upon the field of their exploits to shed tears over their graves, or to inscribe their names upon the tablets of memory. Gov. Vaice on Prohibition. The Anti-Prohibition paper at Raleigh, the "State Journal," is much displeased .with the following - vhich tsavs was published in the Prohibi tipu OrgaJUQfthat city from Rev. R. L. AbernethyoTRutherford College, and which purports to gTvuconver sation the writer (Mr. Abernethy) had with Gov. Vance on the Prohibi tion question: Mr. Editor: As I see conflicting reports in the papers as to Gov. Vance's position upon the Prohibi tion subject, I hasten to give your readers the substance of a conversa tion that-took place upon the cars be tween the Governor and myself, some four weeks since. . I met the Governor as we were com ing', up the Road, and after convers ing upon the educational interests of f the day, he said to me: "Abernethy, how is Prohibition going in your county?" Said I, "Governor, I think it will carry in Burke." Then said I, "Governor, how do you stand upon that question?" "Well," said he, "Abernethy, I have not been sayin anything upon either side. I have feared that it might.be a sort of political move to injure the Democratic party; and, as you know, I have been a watcher of its interests. But, the other day they .had an Anti-Prohibition meet ing in Raleigh composed of whiskey sellers from the North, the dealers in and around Raleigh, revenue officials from the mountains to the seaboard, and a large quantity of negroes ; and when I thought that I must be read out with one side or the other, I said to myself, My God, Vance ! you can not be read out with this party." I may not have quoted the lan guage verbatim, but this was it as near as I could collect it upon the rumb ling cars. We. talked for some time upon the subject. He distinctly said that the good and pure men were upon the side of Prohibition; and that he could not but belong with them in the great questions of our country's high interests. ' Every representative man in Nor h Carolina must and will be read out upon one or the other side in this momentous contest; and I do think that even policy ought to place each upon the side of Prohibition ; for, i it falls this year, it will ultimately succeed, and then wO to the Anti Prohibition office seeker. R. L. Abernethy. Char. Democrat. A few days since one of our popu lar attorneys called upoa another member of the profession and asked his opinion upon a certain point of law. The lawyer to whom the ques tion was addressed, drew himself up and said: "I generally get paid for telling what I know." The ques tioner drew a half dollar "fraction al" from his pocket, handed it to the other, and coolly remarked: "Tell me all yo"i know and give me the .change." There is a coldness between the parties now. Law Reporter.

There is likely to be a very pretty struggle for possession of the next House of Representatives. Some thing like the opening weeks of the extraordinary session of the Senate may be confidently expected. To be sure, as the roll stands the Republi cans have a clear majority of - two over ail Democrats, Greenbackers and nondescripts. Such Greenback men as Judge Kelley will certainly vote with the Republicans. Judge Kelley has been sufficiently expliciton this point. ..Probably none of the Greenbackers will side with Demo crats on organization. Seven or eight of them, however, will undertake the job of swinging the balance of power. Of these three are notoriously in the market. In fact it is not far short of the actual state of affairs to assume that the Greenback party of Cong ress is in the market all the time. They are purchasable with committee cnairmanships and House patronage. -The only object of theri' standing to gether is to make a favorable dicker. This is one element of the Congress ional breth. 'Another is the number of contested cases. 'There are fifteen seats contested. The files of the Clerk's office contain voluminous tes timony in these cases, thirteen of which are from the South. Alabama alone has four. One is' from Maine and one from Iowa. The House is an un wiedly body at best.
