The Iron trade coutlnues very dull, and as a result it Is said some eight or ten furnaces lu'this region will blow out In tlio near future, tho acccuraiuV tlon of pig at most of tho Works being so Immense that thero Is no alternative but to cease operations.

A raro treat will bo afforded tho peo ple of this placo next Thursday ove nlng, In tlio Methodist church, lu the lecture of Bov. Dr. Jurphy. It will bo especially Interesting to nil students of tho Bible, nnd wo would urge all Sunday School workers to bo present. Tho Norrist.own Herald says: "Last evening Bev. Dr. Murphey delivered his lecture, entitled "Jerusalem and Its Surroundings," at tho DeKalb street Methodist church. His descriptions of this celebrated city of the Holy Land wero exceedingly interesting, and con veyed much Informafion. His knowledge-of tho people, customs nud locali ties of tlio Bib'o countries was gained by extensive travel, and those itro viv idly portrayed In his narratives. Dr. Murphey Is an easy spcaker.and his de- serlptlon- nro given in plain and cultur ed language." J Si.'iiilny School Work, Fallow Teacheus We havo Just entered tho now year of 1875, and wo have tinned our backs, on 1871; and wo fee.l that no earnest teacher can close a year without feeling sad. Af ter all our endeavors thero Is so little result. It U of no use to say that tho teacher should leave results to God and do his duty. In 3 sense this Is true, but there is a sense In whlcli- nil teachers bhould caro for results, wo might as well tell a farmer no to concern him self about his harvest. Doubtless it is right to cast your care on God In a mat ter ot harvest, and in a niaiter of suc cess In Sunday School teaclilut;. It Is right to trust God so much n's to find ueiiver.inco from worrr. But souiel leucners trust tiou altogllier too lar, they trust him to do their work. A farmer who cares nothing about his har vest, -at the end of the year Is not worth much, no more Is n Surlday School tea cher who Is careless of Ve6tilt3. There fore, wo say, a teacher Vho Is In ear nest must nlways feel that the result of any year's work aro less tiinn ho had a right to hope forjwe as teachers cannot estimato results. Tho furmer cau put his wheat on the scale nnd have his harvest set down In pounds, from which ho can get his value in dollars nnd cents, but llio teacher can not so easily tell just what tho'valuo of his work may be, the influence of a Sunday School teacher on a child's life aro too subtle to be estimated In tho gross, and tho work of the Spirit of God generally re fuses to be gauged by such ruugh measurement for even. If vou could measure tho amount of knowledgo It would be 110 adequate measure of the true spiritual success of tho teacher. While tho result of the Sundav School ,work is not easily weighed or counted. 1 et mere is a result In the case of good work, and this result is generally ap preciable lu some way. Wo have not much coulidencu iu those Invisible re sults that some people talk about. Be. suits that are Invisible aro not gener ally of much account. A'owand then a faithful teacher does a long work of preparation, the result of which Is sud denly brought to light ufter patient waiting, llut patience aud pctslstont labor will show some fruit bouio mor al Improvement, at least; and let us ev er lemember that every elevation of tlio moral nnd effectual nature Is a drawing of the soul nearer to Christ. Wo are nono o( us, perhaps, dead fail ures; wo aro nouo of us entlrtly successful; there Is enough failure in eveiy teacher's life to causo reflection. It Is far easier for you to say you havo no gift for the work, nnd to throw it down like that other man of oue talent, than to examlno catefullv Into the lea- sons for want of success, we cannot bet ter improvu the time for memory "and tears" then by looking Into our failure ami success, und trying toluiprovln the future the mistakes of tho past, every thing else being equal, you will be more successful this year In exact pro portion as you come to uo, personally acquainted wlth.and svnmathl.ed with by your scholars, In proportion as the re lation between you ail I them Is 0110 of acquaintance, frlendlluess, and mutual regard will you succeed. Ho that goeths forth and weepeth, bearing precious seeds, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. josei-m. Cast .Uuucli Chunk Letter Mit.

Ono would na turally Infer from thu above facts, that weddings would bo moio froiuent In our town. 4But It Is a slgnlflcent fact to know that many ot tho thirty, tu which we have referred, are serious ly debatiu - Iho question whether It Is better in the miiid to sutler the slings and arrows ot a single unblessdncss, of to enjoy tho boon of conjugal felicity, in which they would havo a help-tnato In resisting tho whips aud scorns of time. To thoso who aro drifting as swiftly as tho wheels of tlmo can carry them, toward an "old maid's" Ufa ttd recommend, with full confidence, that they tarry not In the land whero conju gal hopes nro perpetually blighted, but gather up their tinsels, pack them In tho largest "Saratoga," and tako tho next boat for that goodly heritage, found beyond their natlvo land In tho Isle of Man.
