ON TIME.

The merry Christmas season is
drawing near; the year grows de-
creplt, and feels already the chilly
hand OF winter striking to its heart.
The small boy of the period begins
to count the days to Christmas and
checks them of, one by one, as they
pass, with a smile for those that
have vanished, and an O'donovan
Rosa sort of desire to annlhilate
those that are 10 come. The young
man meditates on the new leaf he
is resolved to turn with the New
Year, and decides that a few more
black marks on the leaf at present
open will be rather a good thing
than otherwise as 'tending TO make
the leaf-turning process aforesaid
more pleasant and striking; and The

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1882,

TIE Sun for 1882 will make its if
teenth annual revolution under the
present management, shining, as al
ways, for all, big and little, mean and
gracious, contented and unhappy, Re-
publican and Democratic, depraved and
virtuous Intelligent and obtusc. TIE
Suns light is for mankind and woman
kind Of every sort; but its genial
warmth is for the good, while it pours
hot discomfort on the b~listering backs
Of the persistently wicked.
The Sun of 1868 was a newspaper
Of anew kind. 1t discarded many OF
the forms, and a multitude ofthe super
flnons words and phrases of ancient
journalism. 1t undertook to report in
a fresh, %succinct, unconventional way
all the news of the world, emitting no
event of human interest, and comment
ing upon affairs with the fearles>ness OF
absolute independence. The success
of this experiment VS. the success OF
The Sun. 1t effected u permanent
change i'll the style Of American news
papers, Every important journal es-
tablished in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after The
Suns example.
TIE Sun of 1882 will be the same
outSpoken, truthtelling, and Interest
ing newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which
an abundant prosperity affords, we
shall make it better ihan ever before,
We shall print all the news, putting
it into readable shape, and measuring
its Importance not by the traditional
yardstick, but by its re i interest to the
people. Distance from Printing tIou,e
Square is not the first consideration
with The Sun. Whenever anything
happens worth reporting VIZ get the
particulars, whether it happens in
Brooklyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions ;
and are accustomed to express them in
langJ age that can be understood. We
say what we think about men and
events. That habit s.the only secret
of THE suns poli ical purse.

Fashions in dresses, bonnets, ETC.,
the whole Christmas market is

such curious antics with each de-

and horses and COWS; Noah's arks,
and grocery stores; printing presses

houses and furniture; Christmas
