From the London Spectator.
'That the want Of sedentary men is air
rather than exercise that the evil is not done to
the constitution SO much by sitting as by sitting
in stuffy rooms, and that an hour a day in q
garden would benefit them quite as much as a
severe country walk. Certainly, that is true of
nervous strength, upon which SO much of the
happiness of life depends. An hour passed in
strolling in the open air, slow stroling. or even
sitting, will repair mental fatigue better than
an hours strong exercise; while an hour of
close mental application In stufy, overheated
room. perhaps full of the fumes of gas, will
take it out of you more than whole day OF
the same strenuous work in a room with open
windows or with free ventilation, or 80 large
that the air Is not perceptibly affected by those
who breathe it. Newton, calculating 10 q

"We've got schools enough, but we can't
keep no teachers"
whats the trouble?"
"Well, take my school, for instance
only two miles from the nearest house,
eminently situated on top of hill, and
paying the highest salary. We can't
keep teacher over two weeks"
"DO they die?'
"SOme do; though it's no place for dy-
ing. We had young fellow from Ohio,
and he met a grizzly and whistled for
him. The grizzly cum. We had anoth-
er, and a wilder run him down and
married him inside of a month. The
third one was lame and the Injuns over
took him. Then we tried women folks.
The first one got married the night she
lit down there; took the second about
the middle of the third week, and the
third one was abducted by stage rob-
ber."

RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

He sleeps here the untroubled sleep
Who could not bear the noise and turmoil
Or public life, but far from toll
A happy reticence did keep,
With Nature only open, free:
Close by there rests the magic mind
or him who took lfe's threads to wind
And weave some poor SOUPS mystery
OF spirit-life, and make il live
type and wonder for all days;
No sweeter soul e'er trod earth's ways
Than he who here at last did give
His body back TO earth again,
And now at length besides them lies
One great and true and nobly wise,-
AKing Of Thought, whose spotless reign
The overwhelming years that come
And drown the trash and drOss and slime
Shall keep record of till Time
Shall cease, and voice of man be dumb.
At last he rests, whose high clear hope
Was wont on lofty wings to scan
The future destinies of Man
Who saw the Race through darkness grope,
Through mists aud error, till at last
The looked-for light the lOnged-fOr age
Should dawn for peasant, prince and sage,
And centuries Of night be past.
Thy rest is won. @ loyal, brave,
Wise soul, thy spirit is not dead
Thy wing'd words far and wide have fled,
Undying, they shall find no grave

Michigan Iron Mines Paying Mo-
than Gold Mines.

j. M. LOngyear, of Marquette, writes:
1.-THE published statements show that
the gold and silver mines of the United
States paid during the year 1881. divid-
ends amounting to $7,499,676, say 81 $780,
COZ. AS our iron companies do not pub
lish their dividends, it is impossible to
give exact figures; bat the amount of
ore produced and its value in market are
published, and from these figures, any
one acquainted with the cost of placing
the ore on the market can make very
close estimates of the profits. Those
best qualified to Judge of these profits,
estimate the earnings of our iron mines
for 1881, at eight millions of dollars,
about half million more than the
and silver mines of the United States.
mining companies declaring this ST.
$20000O000; they, therefore. paid three
and three fourths per cent. on their capt.
tai stock. The capital stock of all the
iron mining companies of Michigan
operating i'm 1881 amounts to about $20,-
100000, and their net earnings of $780,
600 for that year paid dividends amount
ing to forty per cent. on their capital
stock. These figures you will notice,
embrace only the dividend-paying gold
and silver mines, while they embrace all
of the operating iron mines in Michi-
gan. If the $500, 100000 represented by
the dividend paying gold and silver
mines of the United States-tO say moth
ing of the innumerable operating COM
panies that pay no dividend-nO further
showing is necessary to demonstrate
that iron mining in Michigan is more
that ten times as profitable as gold and
silver mining.
