who was calling to mind the pleasant
scenes of better days-"Mother. how

THE sun will deal with the events of the wear 1880
In its own fashion, now pretty well understood by
everybody From January to December 81 it will be
conducted as newspaper written in the English
language, and printed for the people.
AS newspaper, THE SUN believes in getting all the
news OF the world promptly and presenting in the
most intelligent shape-the shape that will enable its
readers to keep well abreast of the age with the least
unproductive expenditure of time. The greatest in
terest to the greatest numberthat is the law control
ing Its daily makeup. 1t now has circulation very
much larger than thatpf any other American news
paper and enjoys income which it is at all times
prepared to spend literally for the benefits of it's read
ers. People of all conditions of life all WAYS of
thinking buy and read THE SUN; and they all derive
satisfaction of some sort from its columns for they
keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on and affairs THE SUN believes
that the only guide of policy should be common sense
inspired by genuine American principles and backed
by honesty of purpose For this reason it is and will
continue to be- absolutely independent of party Glass;
clique, organization, interest 1t is for ALL but of
none 1t Will continue to praise what is good and rep
rebate WHAT evil taking that its language is
misunderstood. 1t is influenced by motives that do
not appear on the surface; it has opinions to SELL
save those which may be had by any purchaser for
CENTS 1t hates injustice and rascallty than
it hates unnecessary words 1t abhors frauds pties

frss class, instruct the second, and dscountonance
the third All honest men, with honest convictions
whether sound or mistaken, its friends. And THE
SUN makes no bones of telling the truth its friends
and about its friends whenever occasion arises for
plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE sun will
be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes public affairs.

TRUE TO THE LIFE.

Mr.. Cough tells the following story:
| knew man who was start led with a
face peering out at him from the wall;
he went up to it and wiped it out and
stood back again, and still it was there;
he went up to it again and wiped it out !;
and stood back-it was there yet. His
very hair seemed to stand with horror
as he went up to it, and with terrible
blow of his fist struck the wall and left
it marked with blood. He stood back
again-it was there and went and beat
and beat till he had broken the bones
in his hand, with beating out that which
was palpable to him; and yet he was
conscious, and the consciousness thrilled
through his frame with horror, that it
was but phantom of his Imagination.
Let a man suffer that six days and six
nights; let a physician sit by his side
and tell him, ''Now, sir, if you drink
again, you will suffer it again" "But
doctor, l will never drink again, doctor
the thought is too terrible; l shall new.
err suffer it, will never drink again. .
And once more healthy blood comes in
that mans veins, and in the emphatic
language or Scripture, he "seeks it yet
again" and again he is brought down
again he endures it all, and again tht
physician sits by his side. "You re-
member that which | told you?" "Yes. ;
"1f you drink you will have it again
and do not send for me, for you viii
die" doctor, will never touch i
again" And yet he rises from hi
couch in agony, seeks it again, and again
he is brought down, and his shrieking
spirit flies in disgust into eternity from
the body SO fearfully and wonderful,
made by God. He knew all the wa,
along it must be so. Such is the terri
BILE slavery of intemperance.

NAME OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN.

Oberlin, the well-know philanthropist
of Steinthal. while yet candidate for
the ministry, was travelling on one occa-
sion from Strasbourg. 1t was in the
winter time. The ground was deeply
covered with snow, and the roads were
almost impossible. He had reached the
middle of his journey, and was among
the mountains, but by that time was so
exhausted that he could stand up no
longer,
He was rapidly freezing to death.
Sleep began to overcome him; all pow
er to resist it left him. He commended
himself to God, and yielded to what he
felt to be the sleep of death.
He knew not how long he slept, but
suddenly became conscious of some one
rousing him and waking him up. Be-
fore him stood wagon-driver. in his
blue blouse, and the wagon not far away
He gave him little wine and food, and
the spirit of life returned. He then
helped him on the wagon and brought
him to the next village. The rescued
man was profuse in his thanks, and of
fered money, which his benefactor re-
fused. rfrFF r~
at is only duty to help one anoth
er," said the WAGNER, "and it is the
next thing to an insult to offer a reward
for such service"
"Then, replied Oberlin, cat least tel
me your name, that may have you il
thankful remembrance before God"
81 see," said the wagner, '.that vol
are minister Of the gospel; please tel
me the name of the Good Samaritan"
THAT" said Oberlin, al cannot do
for it was not put on record"
"Then," replied the WAGNER, "unti
you can tell me his name. permit me t,
withhold mine"
Soon he had driven out of sight, ant
Oberlin never saw him again.
The charm of this story is that n
name is given of any person-all W
have is the generous spirit which prompt
ed it.
