THE POWER OF TALENTS AND INDUSTRY. ! '
Extract from an introductory Lecture to j .
11 Medical Class by Dr. Gibson of Philadel j j
phia. ! '
It was in :ho midst of this professional, j
region I found it necessary to establish my (
quarters ; for although I had attempted, |,
whilst living near, the palace, in tho most!,
fashionable part ot the town, to follow the )
hospitals, by rising at day.break. I soon 1;
discovered it impossible to continue such ,
long walks, without great fatigue and loss ,
of lime, and, therefore, fixed myself in lodg- ,
ings, long celebrated as the resort of Amcri. ,
can students, and where I had the pleasure j |
of being the intim ?lt* of some of my former j |
pupils. E irly one morning, whilst sitting!]
in converse with these and my excellent j,
friend professor, Eve, of Georgia, there was j ]
a g? n;le tap at the door, followed by the | j
entrance of ono, at whoso approach my \
- i. , ! 1
friends simultaneously rose anu ooweo, in a ; |
way-'to indicate peculiar respect, and in the j
next moment, I found myself almost encir- |;
cled by the arms of Velpeac, who said, in j |
the most complimentary way, he had called ;
to pay his re.spccls to me, and, immediately j
alter, fixed iu<. e?u upon the tall, lathy figure j
of one of my young countrymen, six feet j
three inslies nigh, and remarked, in broken (
English mid French, ho perceived 1 had a |
KentuJcim in the room, much to the con. ,
fusion, but amusement of my friend and his ?
fellow stud'mfsg&gjhad often heard of Vel- : i
peau as a homely, Ut iSsinly personage, with i |
grizzly hnir standing up like n shoo brush, j i
rough in his manners add earless in dress. ! !
i found him agreeable, i 1
lively, easy any gorfteel, dressed plainly,},
but with us much neatness as most other 11
gentlemen. Mo sat fur half an hour, eon-!'
versing with great intelligence and good hu : <
mor, on various subjects ; asked numerous { |
qu^ ions, respecting our medical men, and ! |
his fonner , American pupils, whom ho ) i
named and spoke of with pleasure. In re- ; i
ferring to his numerous works, and express-! i
ing my surprise he should find lime, er.g'a- ! I
ged^s he was, in hospital and priva'e prne- ' I
tic**, io read and quo o so many English, ' I
American and other foreign books, he re. 1 <
plied with an honesty and candour I did j .
not expect, **On, rny dear Sir, you see j \
how little I know of your language, it would i t
be impossible for me to read all these books j I
myself, but I have excellent young friends | s
among your countrymen, and students from ] *
all parts of the world, and get them to read 11
for me and furnish translations and extracts,
and in this way, appear as learned as you j?

was del-ghte<l with this amiable frankness, 1
aftd, afterwards, took every opportunity of t
seeing him at his house and at Li Charite, <
where he is prineip.il surgeon. His history t
is extraordinary, and calculated to make a I
strong impression upon a student who has <
experienced the hard usage and buffetings ! I
of this world, as it will convince him there is ,
no situation in life, however humble, no i
circumstances, however difficult, no misfor- '
tunes and entablements, howoyer compli- j
cateil, he may not extricate himself from, ] I
and ri-?e to highest eminence, provided he J i
is endowed with talent, energy, enterprise !1
and good conduct. 1 was walking with I
my old Philadelphia friend in the Palais <
Royal, in dust of a watch, and. struck wiih j
the opeu and honest physiognomy of a
middle oged man, whom we observed,
thiough lite window, so busily engaged at ' (
his work as not to perceive us. determined i i
to enter and examine nis commodities.? t
After selecting an article of beautiful woi k- 1
, < nvtnship, such as we had not seen in any s
other establishment, demanding tho pi ice, (
and then according to usage, endeavoring j I
to get in the lowest sum, the man, with a 11
deep sight and most disconsolate look, sa d 11
that kis profession is a most unfortunate one ; j t
.that, for years*he had toiled from morning \ <
till nigh', poring over the wheels and springs |1
of wa cites with magnifying glasses, until ! j
he hud neatly put out a pair of the finest 1
and sharpest eyes God ever made, and by i
long siting, had injured his limbs and i
impaired his consti ution. "On," said he, J
44 that I had been a surgeon, how different ; <
might have been my situation!" Then j t
turning, and looking us full to the face, he j I
continued 44 Gentlemen, I am a poor indi. J i
vulu ii, without fame or consequence; but \ t
my history, inasmuch as it is connected i s
wtih that ot a dear friend, whose reputation I i
. is well known all over the world is never- I
Iheless a s ngular and . interesting one, and, s
for his sake, if-you-can spare time, 1 will i
relate it to yop*" Struck with the manner e
and earnestness^of life mafe, and favorably I
impress-d towards him, we took scats in 11
his small shop d^d listened to his narrative, j t
I $vbs the so&j?itFfie,*of a poor miller, j t
and the father of my Irion J followed the 11
occuDniion of blacksmith in the village n? r
Breeches and province of Lo re, and, at an c
eurly age, we were both initiated in the't
mysteries ef our paternal vocations, he t
shoeing horses and I grinding grain from i c
morning $ill night. In spite, however, of j
the severe labor to which my friend was ; i
exposed, he devoted many hours of the night j t
to improving his mind, and twice a week | c
attended a country school three miles off. ; t
Mis father's library consisted of twq books j
?the complete drover and a volume of; _
medical receipts?which the young black- j
smith was so enamored of as to commit to i
memory, and, from Hiat period, turned his j
attention to medicine. lie continued, how- j 2
ever, to shoe horses, and prescribe for their I ii
diseases, until his twenty third year, when j ii
amwtncr tirpd rtFcnMi hihnr 3mH Immlnr, I a
w-" v? uii\i uui (iuig rv ; distinguish
himgeif in higher pursuits, p?o- j
posed to me to leave our native village and j
repair to the Capital, whore he was sure, j
he said, we should both meet with occupa. ! tion
worthy of our toil. With scanty I
means, and slender wardrobes fastened to ! I
our hacks, we commenced our journey on j i
foot, mid after a time reached Tours, where j c
the money of my friend giving out, he was ! c
obliged to remain and work at his trade,' \
while I pursued my solitary way to the |
Capital, and meeting with no belter employ- c
took up with the villainous business f\
of watch, making. Several weeks of er-! a
wards, my friend arrived, and hiring, foi
ihree francs, a black coat, w hich d'd not fit
lod contrasted, strangely, with his country
garments, waited upon ihe ccl?bra;ed Du
aois?of feting to become his pup I?*ho

ludicrous figure he cut in his long tnilec
coat and sky blue pantaloons, tol l him h
might live- among his servants and buy th<
run of his' kitchen, for some weeks, uuti
tie could ascertain the nature and ex;r*nt o
his qualifications. The proposal was joy
ously accepted, but before the expiration o
the allotted time, my friend gave so mam
proofs of genius and talfent, und worke<
with such assiduity and success as to as
:onish Dubois,and cause him?hcnceforwHrd
to consider liim as a companion and friend
Prom that moment die fortune of my vdlagt
crony was made ; for, under tne excellen
Dubois, he not only made astonishing pro
gress in h s medical studies, bui was so diligent
and untiring as to acquire, in a shor
time, such knowledge of the classics, ant
most of the languages of modern Eur? pe
as to read them with facility. So muci
time, indeed, was devoted to all his pursun
as to render him very careless of his ;.p
penrance and costume, and I re mem lie
how much mortification I experienced fron
perceiving that my master did not relish tin
occasional visits of my friend, and esp rial
ly when he told me, upon one occasion, I
aught to keep better company, for he wm
scripusly afraid that ill-looking fellow wouh

prevail upon my old friend to attend bette
to his toilet, hut he said such matters wen
beneath a man of science, and pr ors o
weak mind, and for his part, thought wher
icont required brushing it was time, to go
a new one.
"Since that period only a few years hav<
elapsed, and my country friend, farrier, uu<
blacksmith, is now at the head of the pro.
fession in Puris, a distinguished prolesso
and hospital surgeon, the author of larg<
and valuable volumes in every departinun
dC tlve profession, and, withal, a man of for
tune. And where, he continued, am 1,
Sull a poor, miserable watch maker in th<
Palais Royal, and the tenant of this pid-hoti
jf a shop, in which you are now sitting.*
And pray, Mr. Jarrosay, said I, may I usk
vho that friend of your's may be ? "Thai
riend, sir," said he, slowly rising from hu
>cnch, putting forth his right arm, and
itamping firmly with his foot upon the floor
'that friend sir, is no less than the celebraed
-Velpeau."
^The next day I called upon Velpeau
tnd found him in his study behind a pilt
)f hooks, which he was pitching, with grea
vivacity, from right to lull, in search of au
horities and quotations for a large work or
surgery, then press n. IIo showed nw
;he translation of a letter I had sent him, a
lis request, detailing the resuls of certan
jperattons in my own practice, and suid hi

makers in Paris of whom you may purchasi

Palais Royal, and secured the watch, anc
commended all in quest of such articles, "u
?oand do likewise.**'

fectly healthy stock, and have been raised iu
.he south for several years. The two last, in.
.roduced from the north a year ago, were not
jQtirely exempt from disease last summer ; but
is the greatest care was taken to breed oniy
from the best cocoons, it is believed there will
be little or nd sickness amongst them in fu .ure,
from any hereditary taint. The cocoons of the
pe&.nut were very heavy and firm. Of. these
two varieties boweve , only a limited number can
>e supplied to each aplicant.
The eggs may be forwarded by mail to pnrcha.
joisat their cost and risk of carriage; or they
will bo deposited in Richmond (if so desired) at
Cotton and Clarke's, free of expense, within
two oi three days after the order has been received,
and where they Will be kept in a cool
cellar until called for. Or in case the purchaser
might prefer it, tbey may remain in my ice-house
until nearly the time they are wanted be i
batched?as there will be no danger of their |
bitching.tVen in June or July, in less than two
weeks after being removed from the ice, if kept 1
there iu proper manner, as these eggs will be. i
The eggs will in all cases be warranted to be 1
in the best condition when they are forwarded,
[with tho slight exception stated as to the last
kinds;) but if it shall appear that they are not,
the purchase money will be refunded.
For the three first named varieties, tho charge
will be $5 per ounce?for the other two varie.
ties, $10 per ounco, the cash always to be *cnt
with the order. When clean eggs are not sent,
the paper on which the y ate deposited will be
balanced by an equal quantity of the same
kind.
