.rEW' FORK Sun, 1882.

TIE SUN for 1882 will make its fifteenth
u annual revolution under the present man
agement, shining as always, for all, big, and
little, mean and gracious, cOntented and uIl-
happy, Republican and Democratic, depraved
and yirtuous, intelligent and Obtuse. The
Suns light is for mankind and womankind OF
every sort; but its genial warmth is for the
good, while it pours hot discomfort on the
clustering backs of the persistently wicked.
The Sun OF 1868 was newspaper of a new
kind. 1t discarded many OF the forms, and a
multitude of the supertiuOus words and phrases
of ancient journalism. 1t undertook to report
in fresh, succinct, unconventional way all
the news of the world, emitting no event of
human interest, and commenting upon affairs
with the fearlessness of absolute independence.
The success OF this experiment was the success
OF The Sun. 1t effected permanent change in
the style OF American newspapers. Every i'm
pOrtant journal established in this country in
the dozen years past has been modelled after
The Sun. Every important journal already
existing has been modified and bettered by the
force OF The Suns example.
The Sun OF 1882 will be the same outspoken,
tr1th,tellng, and interesting newspaper. o,
dant prosperity affords, we shall make it better
than 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 real
interest to the people. Distance from Printing
House Square is not the first consideration with
reporting we get the particulars, whether it
happens in Brooklyn or in Bokhara
In politics we have decided opinions and are
accustomed to express them in language that
can be understood. We say what we think
about men and events. That habit is the only
secret of The Suns political course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages the
matter of the seven daily issues. An Agricul-
tural Department Of uneQualled merit, full
market reports, and liberal proportion OF
literary. scientific, and domestic intelligence
complete The Weekly Sun, and make it the
best newspaper for the farmers household
that was ever printed,
Who does not know and read and like The
Sunday Sun, each number Of which is a GOlcOn-
da interesting literature, with the best poetry
of the day, prose every line worth reading,
news, hunOr-matter enough to fill a good
sized book, and infinitely more varied and
entertaining than any book big or littles

u sermon, in the presence of some white
visitors, he said: "You should be care
full to have at least two mules ears t.

for rs they were accustomed to ride

ears, and they knew the mules ear
were something to catch hold of anc

We are sorry to say that a great many
sermons of white ministers do not have

feature in them-and it is hard for any.

AN EVERLASTING REFUGE.

1t is remarkable how often the Bible
speaks OF God as a refuge and defense.
We read of Him as a strong tower into
which the righteous run and are safe; as
rock of strength and tower of refuge;
as the shadow of a great rock in a weary
land, and as Father that pitieth His
children.
1.-The eyes of the Lord are upon the
righteous and His ear open unto their
cry" says the sweet singer of Israel,
and Peter, in his letters to the churches,
repeats the same expression. In each
of these, the Holy Spirit represents God
as tenderly watching over His people.
and bending down with quick ear to
catch the feeblest breath of prayer.
Very often in the Bible we are invited
to commit our ways unto the Lord" In
the original Hebrew it is "Roll thy
ways on Jehovah" "Roll it all on
Me-" says the Father. "You cannot
carry this burden alone. Twill bear i
by taking both you and the burden.
You are carrying too much; it will crush
all life, and hope, and joy out of your
heart; roll it all on Me-"
One marvellous thing about it all is
that though so often Sighted and neg
lected and forgotten by His children, He
still stands and waits to help us. One
may be deserted by all friends on earth,
and lose all hope of himself and give up,
and others may give him up, but God
never gives soul up to loss and never
will while life lasts. How meanly men
treat God, and yet He is still their
"refuge and strength, very present
help in trouble
"Fools, because of their transgres-
sions and because of their iniquities,
are afflicted; their soul abhorreth all
manner of meat; they draw near unto
the gates of death. Then they cry unto
the Lord and He saveth them out of
their distress. They rebelled against
the word of God and condemned the
counsel of the Most High; therefore,
He brought down their heart with sor-
row; they fell down and there was none
to help. Then they cried unto the
Lord in their trouble and He saved
them out of all their distress. He
brought them out of darkness and the
shadow of death, and broke their bands
in sunder."
The father ran to meet the prodigal
when he saw that he was coming back.
Ragged was the prodigal, and wretched
and in dishonor, but he was coming
back. Disobedient and unclean and
ungrateful had been his whole course;
honor gone, character gone, money and
credit and hope all gone, but he was
coming back and that was enough.
That coming back is all God ever asks.
He has food for the hungry, strength
for the weak, clothes for the naked,
honor and character and forgiveness
for all who sin and suffer and repent,
if they only will return to Him. He
can give beauty for ashes, the oil of joy
for mourning, and the garment of
praise for spirit of heaviness.
Joy of the desolate. light of the straying,
Hope when all other dies, fadeless and pure.
Here speaks the comforter in Gods name
saying,
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.

There'l Be Room in Heaven.

She was a little old woman, very
plainly dressed in black bombazine that
had seen careful wear, and her bonnet
was very old-fashioned, and people
stared at her tottering up the isle of the
grand church. evidently bent on secur-
ing one of the best seats, for a great
man preached on that day, and the
house was filled with splendidly dressed
people who had heard of the fame of the
preacher, of his learning, his intellect
and goodness, and they wondered at
the presumption of the poor old woman.
She must have been in her dotage, for
she picked out the pew of the richest
and proudest member of the church and
took seat. The three ladies who were
seated there beckoned to the sexton,
who bent over the intruder and whis-
pered something, but she was hard of
hearing, and smiled little withered
smile as she said, gently:
30, Pm quite comfortable here, quite
comfortable"
"But you are not wanted here" said
the sexton. pompOusly; There is not
room. Come with me. my good woman,
will see that you have seat"
"Not ROOM" said the old woman,
looking at her old sunken proportions,
and then at the fine ladies. "Why, Pm
not crowded DIT. rode ten miles to
hear the sermon to-day, because"
But here the sexton took her by the
arm, and shook her roughly in polite,
underhand way, and then she took the
hint. Her faded old eyes filled with
tears. her chin quivered; but she arose
meekly and left the pew. Turning
quietly to the ladies. who were spread
ing their rich dresses over the space she
left vacant, she said gently.

Then she followed the pompous Sex
ton to the rear of the church, where, in
the last pew, she was seated between q
threadbare girl and a shabby old man.
"She must be crazy" said one of the
occupied. "What can an ignorant old
woman like her want to hear DIR. --
preach for! She would not be able to
understand word he said"
"Those people are so persistent! The
idea of her forcing herself into our pew.

"Splendid! What stately man.
You know he has promised to dine with
us while he is here.''
He was a commanding looking man,
and rs the organ voluntary stopped,
and he looked over the great crowd OF
worshippers gathered in the vas'
church, he seemed to scan every face.
His hand was on the Bible when sud
denly he leaned over the rcading-desf
and becl1Oned to the sexton, who obse
quiously mounted the steps to receive 2
mysterious message. And then the
three ladies in the grand pew were
electrified to see him take his way tho
whole length of the church to return
with the old woman, when he placed
her in the front pew of all. its other oc
cupants making willing room for her.
The great preacher looked at her with
smile of recognition, and then the
service proceeded. and he preached p
sermon that struck fire from every
heart.
"Who was she?'' asked the ladies
who could not make room for her, as
they passed the sexton at the door.

that functionary, in an injured tone.
