THE INDEPENDENT r seeks the patron
l. age of the public on three grounds, as
follows:
1st. 1t is the largest weely religious news
paper published in the world.
End. 1t employs as contributors more able
writers, at home and abroad, than any Other
weekly newspaper.
3rd. 1t gives its readers a wider range OF
topics and more and fuller departments than
they can find elsewhere in any journal.
The Independent consists of 80 pages, neat,
ly cut and pasted. 1t is printed from clear
type 1--WE stereotype the pages weekly, and
hence, every issue is really printed with new
type) and on good paper, and mechanically
it is unexcelled.
There is no question of prominence in re-
ligion, politics, science, education, finance or
any other department of human knowledge
which the Independent does not discuss. 1t
has regular departments devoted to Biblical
Research, Missions, Religious Intelligence,
Book Reviews and Literary News, the Sun
day School, Education, Science. Sanitary
question, Fine Arts, the movements of Min
listers, Personalities, News of the Week,
Financial and Commercial matters, including
Weekly Prices Current, Market Reports,
Cattle Market, Dry Goods Quotations, Flow
ers and Farming, and Insurance. In its re-
ligious department it gives news and statistics
of all denominations of Christians, every>
where. In fullness, accuracy, and conlpre-
hensiveness this department is unequaled.
Several pages of stories and poems adapted
to Old and Young are given every week, with
a column of Puzzles.
From time to time Sermons by eminent
ministers are published. The current topics
of the day are discussed in our editorial
columns freely and vigorously. We are not
afraid to state our opiniOds.

Some Things to Disbelieve.

When a man advertises for partner.
and wants yonng man to put in small
investment of 800 or $500, and promis-
es to pay him a realization Of fifty or
one hundred per cent. profit, don't be-
lieve it.
When a man offers to give away
knowledge of the utmost value for the
cure of consumption and any and all
other diseases, by merely sending three
cent postage stamp to prepay postage,
don't believe it.
When man proposes to make every
one else rich, and looks to other peoples
interest more than to his own, don't be-
lieve it.
When man offers to give you som.-
thing of great value for something cf
less Value-in other words, give some
thing for nothing, don't believe it.
Many persons aduertise on purpose to
filch men of money gained by hard Ia
Dor, and before entering into any specu-
lation which may be offered to you, take
advantage of the many means at your
command and ascertain the facts with
reference to the proposed business before
you invest, and thus save your money
as well as assist in breaking up al
swindling establishments.

Maxims for Business Men.

When business man reaches the
point where he thinks he cannot spare
any time to examine sources of finan.
cial and commercial information, he
may safely conclude that his business
is not we'll managed.
When business man finds himself
in a financial situation so embarrassing
that he cannot afford to possess every
publication that would throw more
light upon his business transactions he
should not delay an hour. but arrange
at once with an auctioneer to close out
his stock to the highest bidder.
When business man comes to the
conclusion that he cannot expend dur
ing the year, in judicious advertising,
an amount equal to one-half, or at least
one qaurter of the sum he pays annual
ly for rent. he may safely make up his
mind that it is high time for him to

The LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
The New York Tribune for 1881.
THE LARGEST CIRCULATION AMONG
THE BEST PEOPLE.

DURING the past year The New York Tri-
bune reached the largest circulation it ever
~ attained, with the single exception of a
short period in the first Lincoln campaign. 1t
is larger circulation, and more widely distri-
buted over the whole country than any ever en-
loved BY any. other newspaper in the United
States. This fact may be taken as the verdict
of the American People on the The Tribune 8
political force, its fidelity to sound principles,
and its merits as q newspaper.
For 1881, The Tribune will try to deserve
equally well of the public. What and how much
it did for the success of General Garfield it is
content TO let earnest Republicans tell. 1t now
hopes to give to his Administration discrim-
mating support as effective as its efforts for his
election.
The Tribune will labor for, and it confidently
expects the incoming Administration to pro-
mote, a free and fair suffrage, South and North,
sound money, protection to Home Industry,
judicious iberality in Internal Improvements,
and Civil Service conducted on busines. pril-
ciplss, on the theory of elevating, not of ignor-
ing or degrading politics.
Every citizen who helped to bring in this Ad-
ministrstion should watch its course. The
events to be recorded in The Tribune for 1881
will therefore have E peculiar interest The
year promises besides to show whether the Soul
will still sacrifice everything to solidity; and
whether the Democratic party, after twenty
years of disloyalty and defeat, will dissolve ol
| reform. Abroad it will SHOW whether England
| can compose Ireland; whether the Republic il
France, without the support of the leaders whC
established it, can stand alone; whether thu
Turk can longer pollute Europe. In Science i
promises such practical triumphs as the use o
electricity for gas. new modes of heating, ant
new forms of power in place of steam. In Lit
erature and Art it offers the very flower of ou
nineteenth century developement; in Religion
concentration of force. and union of organiza
| tions on simpler creeds and better work.
No intelligent man will be willing to livt
through the year without reading of these things
and we will be wise to look for them in the journ
al which has long enjoyed the distiction of thu
largest circulation among the best people. Thi
| position The Tribune secured and means to re-
| tain by becoming the medium of the best though
by keeping abreast of the highest progress, ,fav
oring the freest discussion, hearing all sides, ap
pealing always to the best intelligence and thu
purest morality, and refusing to cater to thu
tastes ofthe vile or the prejudces ofthe ignorant
The well-known special features of The Tri

cultural Department will remain the fullest ant

An Ingenious Letter.

The following letter shows the ingenuity OF
a Young bride, who was obliged to show her
correspondence to her tyrannical husband in
writing to friend:
al cannot be satisfied, my dearest friend,
blessed as l am, in the matrimonial state,
unless l pour into your friendly bosom,
which has ever been in unison with mine,
the various deep sensations which swell
with the liveliest emotions of pleasure
my almost bursting heart. tell you my dear
husband is one of the most amiable of men
! have been married seven weeks, and
have never found the least reason to
repent the day that Joined us; my husband is
in person and manners, far from resembling
an uglycross ,disagreeable and jealous monster
who thinks by confding to secure
a wife, it is his maxim to treat as a
bosom friend and confdant, not as a
plaything or mental slave, the woman
chosen to be his companion. Neither party
he says, ought to obey implicitly
but each yield to the other by turns
An ancient maiden aunt, near seventy,
a cheerful, venerable, and pleasant old lady,
lives in the house with us-she is the de-
light of the young and the old-she is ci-
vii to all the neighborhood around
generous and charitable to the poor
l know my husband loves nothing more
than he does me; and he fatters me more
y than the glass, and his intoxicatiOn
(for so | must call the excess of nv love-
often makes me blush for the unworthiness
of its object, and wish l could be deserving
of the man whose name l bear To
say all in one word, my dear and to
crown the whole, my former gallant lover
is now my indulgent husband, my fondness
is returned, and l might have married
a prince, without the felicity l find with
him. Adieu; may you be blest as l am .un-
able to wish that | could be made more
happy"

Her ewes like angels watch them still
THE MOUNTAIN,

THE MOUNTAIN.
The fairest, brightest hues of ether fade /;
The sweetest notes must terminate and
die;
o friend! thy flute has breathed har-
mOny
Softly resounded through this rocky
glade;
Such strains of rapture as the gerius
played
In his sstill haunt of Bagdad's summit
high;
He who stood visible to MirZa's eye,
Never before to human sight betrayal.
Lol in the vale the mists Of evening
spread
The visionary arches are not there,
Nor the green islands, nor the shining
seas;
Yet sacred is to me this mountains
head,
From which 1 have been lifted on the
breeze
Of harmony. above all earthly care.

Brilliants.

THERE is GARDEN IN HER FACE.
There is a garden in her face.
Where roses and white lilies grow;
A heavenly paradise is that place,
Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow
There cherries grow that none may buy
Till cherries ripe themselves do cry.
Those cherries fairly do inclose
OF orient pearl double row,
Which when her lovely laughter shows
They look like rosebuds fill'd with snow
Yet them no peer nor prince may buy,
Till cherries ripe themselves do cry.
Her eyes like angels watch them still;
Her brows like bended bows do stand
Threat'ning with piercing frowns to kill
All that approach with eye or hand
These sacred cherries to come nigh,
Till cherries ripe themselves do cry.

WRITES
| pity, from my soul, unhappy men,
Compelled by want to prostitute the pen
Who must, like lawyers, either starve or
plead,
And follow, right or wrong, where
guineas lead!
But you, Pompilian, wealthy, pampered
heirs,
Who to your country owe your swords
and cares;
Let no vain nope your easy mind Sc
duce,
For rich ill poets are without excuse;
'Tis very dangerous tampering with the
Muse,
The profits small, and you have much to
lose,
For though true wit adorns your birth
or place.
Degenerate lines degrade the attaiAted
race,
No poet any passion can excite,
But what they feel transport them when
they write.

POETRY.
Unspoken, Unwritten. Unsung.
Ry MRS. MARY E. NEALY.

There's many beautiful word unspokenl
Which might have frightened loved
ones life,
Which might have proved the magic 10
ken
To stir into beauty a saddened wife;
~ cheer a sorrowful, stricken mother,
Toeoothe the soul of a chastened friend,
IT, l;ft mn the heart of fallen brother,
And with sympathy's sunlight his
woes to blend.
There is many beautiful thought un-
uttered
Which stirs and stirs in the heaVihg
breast, ..,
That never has flown from the parent
nest;
And MANY a hope has grown and pudded
which never opened TO perfect Dlooh'
Rut by the cold waters of death oer-
flooded, IL,
Has sunk for aye in the DARK DARK
tomb.
There's many and many bright wing
fettered
In bonds of iron, or gold, or clay;
And many strong soul grOpss unlet-
tered
In poyerty's dark and toilsome way,
Kept down in the furrow Dy present
duty,
Struggling, toiliug for time to rise,
Till life is lost with its shapes OF Beauty
Its seas and mountains ana sunsel
skies!
There's many beautiful song unwrit-
Which bubbled up in a poet soul,
As warm and glowing as bard OF BTU
Ever poured from his spirit at Loves
control.
There are nameless lives as full OF loving,
There are nameless hearts as warm
and true,
There are nameless souls their deep
strength proving,
Where Fame's loud trumpet never
blew.
There is many a glorious deed unnoted,
And many glorious song unsung,
That have stirred in the soul and grand
ly fioated
notes have rung.
But like the drops of the rolling river
That are caught in the breast of the
crested main,
They rest in the bosom of God forever,
Till He pours out their influence ike
the rain.
There is many asacrifce true and tender,
And deep and mighty-a life for life
MANY lovely and sweet surrender
To calm the pillows Of passions strife.
They are oil and balm to the troubled
waters,
They CRY "Peace, be still" to the pas
sionate heart
o. this is your power" Earth's restless
daughters,
This is the art of every art!
'Tis the little blossoms that crown the
lodges
The sharp, bare rocks, with their
clinging arms;
1t is little things that smoothe the edges
Of life's rough stones with their sooth-
ing charms.
And MANY flower that seems unheeded
May sweeten the thoughts of bitter
soul;
And many a little word, when needed,
MAY sway with limitless control.
Then march on, Fame, with your sun
rise glory!
A loved ones smile were dearer
boon;
Loves dear lips tell us a brighter story,
And twilight is sweeter than glaring
noon,
And what if our songs be not applauded? !?
And what If the nations hear not our
name?
If the hearts We love our deeds have
lauded,
We ask no richer, no brighter Fame.

OLD YEAR.

hs
stop to think-it seems so strange
Another year has passed away;
Fer oh! it seems not long ago
1hailed its first glad rising day.
But he must die, as all must die,
And leave no mark or trace behind,
Except name-a useless thing
When death you with his cords doth
bind.
How many hopes, how many fears,
In this short space forever gone:
How many now are lying low
On whom the New Years day did dawn
How many griefs, how many joys,
Have mov'd the changeful human heart
While some will with the Old Year die,
New griefs and joys with New Year
start.

kVALEDICTION.


Bid me not go where neither suns mol
showers
Do make or cherish flowers:
Where discontented things in sadness
lie,
And Nature grieves as l,
When am parted from those eyes
From which my better day doth rise,
Though some propitious power
Should plant me in bower,
Where, among happy lovers, might see
How showers and sunbeams bring
One everlasting spring;
Nor would those fall, nor these shine
forth to me.
Nature herself to him is lost
Who loseth her. he honors most.
Then, fairest, to my parting view display
Your graces all in one full day;
Whose blessed shapes I'll snatch and
keep, till when
| do return and view again:
So by this art, fancy shall fortune cross,
And lovers live by thinking on their
loss.
