The Port Huron mich. Daily Times, OF
March Is, says:

The Port Huron (Mich.) Daily Times, of
March Is, says:
Mr.. M. III. Allardt returned from Tennes-
see this week, where he has been looking
after his interest in large tract of land
that the company with whom he is connect
ed propose to develop. The land is on the
plateau of the Cumberland Mountains, and
besides its tested capabilities for agricultural
purposes, is rich in coal, iron and timber.
MIR. Allardt IS very enthusiastic regarding
the advantages offered as to healthfulness
of climate, its pure water, and accessibility
to the best markets. 1t has only been two
years since the Cincinnati Southern Rail
way was completed through this part of
Tennessee, and consequently very little was
known of the vast riches waiting develop
ment in this region. By reference to an adj
ver'isement in another column, it will be
seen that the land is being plated and is of
fered on exceedingly favorable terms
The advertisement of the company in the
same paper states that they own 800, 900
acres of land in the Cumberland Plateau re-
giop, and are now sub-dividng 40, 900 acres
of it into 100 acre lots, which they are
offering at the low price of So per acre,
one quarter of the amount to be paid down,
and the rest on time. Land will be sold
only to bona fde settlers MIR. Allardt an
nounces that he will leave Port Huron
again for these lands about the first of
May, and offers inducements in reduced
railroad fares to parties wishing to accom-
pany him. This is movement in the line
of immigration which is destined to &C.
complish great good in the development of
TenneGsee'S resources

Life, when we pause to contemplate the
hurrying throng rushing madly through the
world, is too brief to spend much of it in
pain, especially when a fifty cents bottle of
St Jacobs Oil will afford immediate relief.
Millions say SO, and they-seem to know
whereof they speak. The Lafayette Qnd.)
Courier, in late issue, says: ''Mr. Wend-
ling, who, as many Of the readers may
know, was short time.ago seriously aft CT
ed with severe Sickness stated that while
thus confined to bed for five weeks, during
which his left leg was powerless, his atten-
ton was called to statement in the Courier
of wonderful cures effected by the st. ia
hobs Oil. He sent for a bottle of this Great
German Remedy, and states that after using
the article for but few days he was on his
feet again, and that it entirely cured HIM.
AS such information is not only pleasing,
but of great interest to everybody we cheer
fully give our readers the benefit thereof
and we congratulate our friend on his recov
cry, and the public on the fact that relia
BILE cure for one of the most painful of 81
ailments has at last been found.

Steady Work.

- +
There is an old German motto
which offers this talisman for success
in life. Ohne Hast, ohne Rast,
without haste, without rest. 1t
is akin to the snake haste slowly OF
the Romans and is the direct oppo-
site of the legend which Washington
Irving, copying from the early Dutch
men of Tarrytown, placed over the
portal of his Sunnyside cottage
-"Lust in Rust" or pleasure in
quiet" The sturdier motto is the
better rule of action. Work is not
enough, unless it be tempered with
discretion and thoroughness; con-
tentment is not enough, unless it
rest on sense of duty done.
It is said that one of the most
prolific of living authors gives this
bit of advice to young writers : Elk
yourself to your chair with a bit of
cobbler's wax" by which figure Of
speech he meanst to say that literary
man should stick to his work as
faithfully as any other laborer. This
writer does not believe in waiting
for inspiration but makes it his rule
to write so many thousand words
drily, no matter where he may be, or
how he may feel He has come to
the conclusion that the brain is as
much a machine as any other part Of
the body, and that with the due at
tention TO physical conditions, it may
/ be, as in fact 1T is, used every waking
minute.
1t is easy to laugh at this method
cal arrarg cement, and to say that IN
literary work, above all, mood and
inspiration must be considered. The
enemies OF some particular author
who pursGes this plan might say
that his books are not free IRON the
marks of mechanical style. But,
after all. it is better to rely on indus
try than on inspiration. It is not
work that kills men; it is a wild,
worrying, selfish devotion to one
kind of work. Tennyson could not
write his In Memoriam by the yard,
but if he had rested content with his
deep feeling of sorrow for Arthur
Hallam's death, the poem never
would have seen the light. The sor-
row was inspiration enough; but
long, laborious toll, SO many hours
a day, was quite as necessary. If
this is true in literature, it certainly
is true in the ordinary avocations of
life. The great workers of the world
sleep well and play well at the prop,
er time; but both sleep and play
are made possible by persistent labor,
without hurry and W thout cessation.
Everybody has hard things to do,
which are too often lodged day after
day,-a pile of letters to answer, a
series of benevolent errands among
the poor, a house to set to rights, a
brief or a sermon to prepare, set
of accounts to straighten. These
heavy things become heavier daily
when let alone; but when taken in
hand, their burden becomes lighter
every minute. There is no such
successful way of accomplishing a
good days work as to take up the
very first duty, whether light or
heavy, long or short, and carry it
straight through to the end. Then
the second and the third duties are
easily done If the first is shirked
because the third is more pleasant,
all three are likely to be uncompleted
at sunset.-Selected

MARYvLLE, March II.
Mr.. EDITOR: / send you an ex-
tract from Ruskin, hoping it may be
of interest to your readers, and what
is more important, something val>
liable:
Now it has cost me twenty years
of thought and of hard reading, to
learn what / have to tell you in these
pamphlets and on will find, if you
choose to find, it is true; and may
prove, if you choose to prove, that II
is useful. Your fancy, doubtless that
write as most other political
writer's do, my "opinions and that
one mans opinion is as good as
anothers. You are much mistaken.
When 1 only opine things, hold my
tongue, and work till L
more than opine-until 1
know them. Ii things prove un
movable, [ with final perseverance,
hold my tongue about them, and
recommend like practice to other
people. If the things prove knowa>
bic, as soon as I know them I am
ready to write about them if need
be not till then. That is what the
people call my arrogance. 1t is no
affair of mine whether you attend to
me or not, but yours wholly. My
hand is weary of pen,holding my
heart is sick of thinking. For my
own part I would not write you these
pamphlets, though you would give
me a barrel of beer twelve times III
a year, instead of two pints for them.
[ write them wholly for your sake.
