THE SUN.
Weekly, Semi-W esltly, and Daily.

VNIE WEEKLY sun is too widely known to require

ers and which will, we hope give 1T many thousands
more. are briefly as follows:
Ii is a first rate newspaper. All the news OF the
day will be found in it, condensed when unimpor-
tnnt at full length when of moment, and always pre-
scnted in clear. Ineligible, and interesting man
ner. ~ .-.-,-,.-

ing nothing that can offend the most delicate ana
scrupulous taste. ~,
romanccs OF current literature are caieluiy seec'cu
and legiby printed in its pages. m
1t is hrst-ratc agricultural paper. The most fresh
and instructive articles on agricultural topics regu-
larry appear in this department.
Ii is an independent political paper, belonging TO
no party aad wearing collar 1t hghts ior prlnci
ple and lor the election of the best men to office 1t
especialy cvotes its energies to the exposure OF the
country and threaten to undermine republican IN,
stutions altogether. 1t has no fear of knaves ana
asks no inv0rs from their supporters.
1t reports the fashions TOR the ladles ana the mar
kets ior the men, especially the cattle markets, 10
which il pays particular attention.

Casselbeny OF Nineland, New Jer-
sey, once laid his grandmother under
his grapevine, and by carefully
watering her twice a day he Sc
cured n crop of fifteen bushels of
Black Hamburgs. The subject came
up in the agricultural society sub
sequcntly, aud there was ques-
ton whether n grandmother was the
only female relative that could be
eilicaclously used and whether it
should be paternal or maternal
grandmother. Casselbeny explained
that he had known II maiden aunt or
Il second cousin to do equally well, and
he had his steptather among the roots
of his mammoth gooseberry bush W it'll
every prospect of superb crop. Very
particular inquiries were made by sew
eral members concerning the availa-
bility Of mothers-in-law, and man
named Johnson said he had been mar
ried four times, and had used all his
mothers-in-law in improving the as
paragus bed; he took the first prize for
asparagus at eight county fairs. Then
the meeting suddenly adjourned, and
fifteen mothers-in -law in Nineland
died during the succeeding week.

There is n young lady in this city
who has the misfortune to talk in her
sleep, and it is said she will answer,
mc0nsciously, the questions which are
secrets in her waking hours. She is
waited on by timid young man who
has never been able to screw his cour-
age up to the "sticlling place." and
asked her to marry him. He went up
one night last week, and entering the
front door, as was his habit, without
ringing the bell, he saw his dulcina
asleep on the parlor sofa.
He hesitated u moment over the
propriety of advancing without an
nouncing himself, when he heard his
own name softly expressed from be-
tween those coral lips. Immediately
the pent-up burden of his heart broke
out in words:
dearest, do you love me?"
EYES," was the soft response from
the sleeper.

"Shall it be in year,"
"Any time"
'Iet it be in six months"
There was moments silence
and suspense, when the lips again
moved, and the young man heard dis
tinctly the little word, June" He
stepped cautiously back, and glided
quietly from the house. He has been
up every night since, but has not re-
ferred to the conversation with the
sleeper. June is very pleasant
month, but the time is rather too soon
