The World for 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform them
sssyes carefully aliks Of the action Of their par
~ throughout the country aad Of the move
ments Of their Republican opponents. A fail
uFe 20 do this In lsT6 contributed greatly TO the
los by the Democracy Of the fruits Of the vieto-
~ fairly won at the polls.
The year 1870 promises 20 be ore ofthe most
Interesting aud important years OF this crowded
and even tfIl century. IL will witness Presi-
Dental election which may result in re-estab-
fishing the Government Of tits country the
principles Of lie constitutional founders or in
permanently changing the relations Of these
States % the Federal power. No Nointellgsnt man
can regard such an election with Indifference.
The World, ~ the only daily English new spa
per Published IN the city OF New York which up
holds the doctrines Of constitutional Democracy,
will steadily represent the Democratic party in
this great canvass. IL viii 30 this in no spirit
Of seryile partiganship, but temperatrly and
6rmly.@ As a newspaper The World, being the
organ Of no man, no clique and no interest will
present the fullest and the iairest picture IL can
make Of each days passing history in the city,
the State, the country and the world. II will
aim hereafter, as heretofore at accuracy first Of
ell things in ell that Il publishes. No man, how
ever humble shall ever be permitted truly to
complain that he has been unjnsily dealt with
In the columns ofThe World. No interest, how
ever powerful, shall ever be permitted truly TO
boast that il can silence the fair criticism Of The
World.
During the past year The World has seen lie
dsily circulation trebled and lis weekly circula-
ton pushed far beyond that OF any other weekly
newspaper In the country. This great increase
has been won, as The World believes, by truth
fulncss, enterprise ceaseless activity in collect
ing news and anfaliering loyalty TO itself and to
lie readers In dealing With the questions Of the
day. IL 10 our hope and IL will be our sndeavor
that The Worlds record Tor 1880 may be writ

thousands more oF new readers ia sl parts Vt

persons Of refinement and culture. who had
enjoyed the advantages of It good education
and Of European travel. In their younger
years they were beautiful and accomplished,
and their chief ambition was to strengthen
their position by marriage and TO- rise high in
the social world. They left the church with
which they were connected. and attended
one which was more fashionable Offers of
marriage which they received We're declined,
as heing below the standard which they had
set up for themselves But the rich came
not to WOO, and 50 the years passed by aad
robbed them Of youth, beauty and
opportunity Their disappointment al
fected their dispositions and emblttered
them against their hest friends. To secure
peace their father divided his property and
gave them sufficient for their needs. Taking
with them a young sister, they bought a
house and lived entirely alone. The fear Of
poverty grew upon them and became
monomanla although there was no occasion
for it, as they had an income of S125
month besides their home. Breeding over
their disappointment, filled with apprehen-
siOns of suffering Lurdened with the dull
round Of household duties, and cherishing
only bitter feelings for their father and
friends. they came to regard life a. no longer
tolcrIble and determined to endit On Mon
day evening. the 21st inst, they took the
fatal step, first bathing and dressing them
selves with great care. Their lives had been
selfish, morbid. and directed by an ignoble
ambition they were worn out, not with
activity. but with idleness and their tragic
death constituted melancholy but appro-
pirate end for lives so empty and prOfitless
