The w World for 1881.

THE WoRLD for 1881 will be the best and
cheapest newspaper published n the English
tongue on either side Of the Atlantic.
With new presses surprising any ever before
manufactured even by Hoe 4 Co., with new and
unequalled typographical and business facilities
Fall sorts, and with better organized tele-
graphic correspondence through out the world
than that of any other American journal, The
WORLD for 1881 will afford its readers daily a
complete, condensed and trustworthy record of
all current events.
In its Five Minutes With the News Of the Day
THE WORLD meets and keeps pace with the in-
creasing demands made by rapid transit, the tel
egraph and the telephone, or the time and atten-
ton of business men.
It's daily cable letters from London bring the
Old World TO the breakfast-tables of the New.
In its Wall Street Gossip and its Items Of In
vestors, taken together with its accurate, candid
and absolutely impartial Financial Article, The
WoRLD daily presents an unriyalled picture not
only of the true condition Of the multitudinous
enterprises in which the adventurous and active
people Of this country invest their savings but
also Of all the fuctuating Influences exerted upon
those enterprises by the speculations and the
speculators of the Stock Exchange.
No man who owns or expects to own an inter-
est in any corporate property can afford to miss
for single day the information daily and ex-
| clusvely given in The WoRLD not only as to
the natural and legitimate course Of affairs az
fectng stock values but also as to the plans,
schemes and combinations which are necessarily
making and unmskiug in and out of W all street
70 attest those values.
THE WORLD contains also every day the fresh-
est, fullest and most instructive notices of every
thing new and interesting In the realms OF art, o
literature and of social life.
It is the accredited organ of the colleges oftiif
Union, and the accuracy and viyacity OF lie
sporting columns, covering all the various forms
Of athletic amusement which have multiplied
among MS Of late years, commend il to the 'ris-
ing generation" throughout the country.
As the only metropolitan morning journal
published in the English language which main
tains an answering fidelity TO the great ehdur-
| ing principles of the Democratic faith in poi-
tics The World for 1881 will be found, where
for the last FIVE years The World has been found,
absolutely loyal to Democratic principles; abso-
/ utely independent Of all persons, eliques and
| factions within the Democratic party.
! The World viii! maintain the cause Of the Un-
| ion against sectionalsm in all its forms. tie
cause OF good government against corruption in

Martin Luther and The Roll.

After time of great trial Luther tells
us ne was seeking rest in sleep and he
saw as sleep came to HMM his dream
he saw-Satan standing at the foot of
his bed. And Satan ieeringly said to
him: Martin, thou art pretty Chris
tlanl Hast thou got the impudence to
assume that thou art a Christian ?"-
Yes, said Martin, am a Christian,
Satan because Christ has allowed me.
as any sinner may, to come to Him
What" said Satan, thou Christian =?
Thou art pretty Christian, Martin |
See what thou has done |" And Satan
took roll and began to unroll it and
there at its head Martin Luther saw
some sins set down that had passed away
In the dim distance of childhood. He
had forgotten them. Martin sank as it
struck his sight, but the roll was unrolled,
leaf after leaf, foot after foot, and to his
horror, he saw sin after sin he never
knew anything about at all, written
down there, complete in every detail
an awful list; and in his dream, he saws,
the sweat OF mortal agony stood on his
brow. He thought, In truth Satan
has got right on his side. Can such a
sinner as this be just with God?" He
said, "Unroll it, and Satan jeeringly
unrolled it, and Luther thought it would
never end. At last he came nearly to
the end, and in desperation, he cried,
" Let us see the endl' But, as the last
foot of the paper rolled out, he caught
sight of some writing red as blood, at
the end, and his eye caught the words,
-" The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son
cleanseth US from all sim" And the
vision of Satan foated away, and Luther
says he went to sleep. All, yes, dear
friends, that is it. The Saviour deigns
to wash away even the unknown defle-
ments Of His child's soul. 1.-THE blood
of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth from
all sim"

A Fine Old Legend.

The poet, Longfellow, puts into ex-
quslte verse medieval legend of fine
significance. At the hour of noon it was
customary in the old monastery for the
nelghboring poor to receive aims at the
gate, from the monks who took the service
In succession. One day the father, whose
turn it was to dispense that day the Gus
tomary charity, was engaged in prayer
In his cell, when his Lord suddenly ap-
peared to him in an epiphany of love and
glory, and the saint could only lie at his
feet In alteration and joy. While the
vision tarried, suddenly the convent bell
rang out the hour of noon; and the wor-
shipper knew that the needy were wait
ing at the grated doors with gaunt faces
and thin skeleton hands for his charity.
Should he tarry with his Lord, or 90 to
wait upon his Lords suffering one ?
Should he hnger at the gate of heaven
or hasten to the gate of earthly misery ?
1t was moment of suspense, but duty
triumphed. He rose from the radiant
Presence and spent the hour deeds OF
love, wondering all the while at the
strange JOY that filled his spirit, and not
daring to think that the glorious vision
would ever meet his eyes again. He had
done his Lords will and work he was
satisfied with the consciousness of His
approval. But as he slowly returned to
to the sacred spot, what was his surprise
and delight to see the Master waiting to
welcome him with smile of commenda-
ton he had not worn before, and the
words of benediction, aft thou hadst
staid would have gone" We lose many
blessing by seeking blessing when we
should rather seek to please and honor
Him. He is not here-he goeth before
you into Galilee," might be said to many
respondent seeker after spiritual peace
looking in vain for blessing in religious
selfishness. There is one place we are
ever sure Of his presence, and that is in
obedience to the command coupled with
its companion promise, eco ye into all
the world and preach the gospel to every
creature, and 10, am with you always
even unto the end Of the world. Cos

A Child'S Faith.

Except ye be converted, and become as lit
tie children ye shall not enter into the kingdom
of heaven"
The baby was in bed, and four-year
old boy waiting at my feet / was "care-
full and troubled about many things -
A weary night, after day of little trib-
ulations; to which woman yields, more
than she shrinks from single acts of posi-
tive heroism. The child was startled by
sudden, despairing weeping.
Mamma, don't cry, for then I must
cry too, and then, as l still wept bitter
ly, " | am big, bad boy, and give you
trouble, send for little sister, and Won
must feel glad
mo, dear" I said, AZ cant be glad
everything is wrong"
The appraised, earnest, tender face was
a picture for an artist. Never mind
mamma, you will die soon, and 90 to
heaven; and then you will be glad"
AT this, [ cried all the more.
Why, mamma, you ought to want to
dieP'-the gentle eyes now full of wonder
and reproach, the whole face ouiverine
with emotion.
My child, you don't want me to 90
away from your
Oh, no, mamma, God would let me
60 to Him too, u - would put us into
the ground together, and we would be
together always"
pressed the boy close to me, in infn-
tie comfortable silent answer, II will
try to be thankful for this blessing, and
| will take its light and love to my heart
forever more"

The records of the temperature at diff
ferent depths were always made with
great care. At depth of from 100 to
AZ! fathoms the temperature was usu-
ally from 81 deg. to So deg, Fahrenheit.
From l423 to 325 fathoms it was from
az deg to 43 deg, and at 500 fathoms it
was 40 deg. The pressure at 500 fathoms
or over was very great-suficient to
cruch and press together the wood that
encased the thermometer until it was a
sharrpeless mass, and to so press the rope
used to lower the instrument that it came
up hardened and squeezed together until
1t resembled bar of metal.
