Stopped Short.

1t seems a pity that great moral
discourse should be broken off in the
middle, Just for the want of six cents.
But when man talks that way merely
to dodge a debt of six cents his ''dis-
course" is worth even less money. One
thoughtful STRIPPING who tried sermon
izing in order to slip his car-fare found
the application" coming very close
upon his teXt,-as q reporter of the
New York Dispatch relates in an incl
dent of one of his trips to Coney Island.
In front of US sat a very thin young
man indulging in the luxury of very
fat cigar. The young man was so thin
and the cigar was SO fat that we would
not have been surprised to see the lat
ter pick the former up and smoke him.
He had darling little creature at
his side, and it was evident that he had
mortgage on her which he was about
to foreclose by mutual agreement.
'Snice. amt it?' she asked, as she
looked up in his face with smile.
"Ya-as. Do you know that this road
always makes me feel solemnp" he
asked.
"Whyp" she asked.
Because he answered, SIN going
to the Island we start from Greenwood,
where all is solemn, and arrive at the
Island, where all is life and happiness.
On the return we leave all this gayety
and joyousness to end our journey at
the City Of the Dead. How much like
this world Of sorrows, and tribulations,
and"-
''Tickets"' yelled the fare-snatcher.
Gas was saying" he continued, sit
so much re''-
"Ticketsr' yelled the snatcher.
He went down in his pocket for his
sine qua non, but it was non est conaeat-
ebus.
He tried to 60 on with his story, but
the conductor interrupted him with "a
See here, young man. you have
tried that game twice before. Now you
git"
And he got off at Bath and sat down
on the platform to soliloquize on the
fact that in the journey of life many of
us suffer rude Interruptions.

A T,iDrniat

A party of American tourists were
dining at an inn in Southern France.
Among them was Chicago girl who
had been educated at a fashionable la
dies seminary in that city. She had
addressed the waiter in English, who
politely confessed his ignorance by ask
ing her if she would be so good as to
give her order in French. While she
was giving it he stared at her with
growing bewilderment, and when she
had concluded said: =

T'EIE SUN.
a NEW YORK, 1888

More people have read The SUN during the
year Just now passing than ever before since it
was first printed No other newspaper published
on, this side, Of the earth has been bought and
rean IN any year by SO many men and women.
we are creditabiy informed that people. b,iy
read, and like The Sun for the following reasons
among others: el
Because its news columns present in attractive
Iorn ana win the greatest possible accuracy
Whatever has interest forhumankipd the events
the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom. the philos.
ophy, the notable folly, the solid sense the i'm
proving Honsenseall the news of the busiest world
at present revolving In space.
because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning persons and affairs The Sun makes a
practce OF telling them the truth to the best
OF Its ability three hundred and sixty five DAYS in
the year, before election as well as after about
the whales as well as about small fish, in the face
OF dissent as plainly and fearlessly as when sup
ported by general approval. The Sun has ab-
soiutely no purposes to serve, save the informa-
ton of its readers and the furtherance of The
| common good
name is SO humble that The Sun is Indifferent to
MS welfare and his rights. No man is so rich
tnal 1t can allow injustice to be done him. Nc
man, no assoc aton of men, is powerful enough to
DC exempt from the strict applications Of its prin-
ciPles OF its right and wrong. ,...,
Because in its politics it has fought for dozen
years, without intermisson and sometimes almost
alone among newspapers, the fight that has re-
suited IN the recent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonism and for honest government
NO matter what party is in power, TIE SUN
STANDS and will continue to stand like rock for
the interest OF the people against the ambition Of
posses, the encroachment of monopolists and the
dishonest schemes of public robbers
| All this is what we told almost daily by our
trends. One man holds that The Sun is the best
rehglous newspaper ever ever published because
Its Christianity is undiluted with can't Another
holds that it is the best Republican newspaper
printed, because it has already whipped half OF
the rascas out of that party, and is proceeding
against the other half with undiminished vgor. A
third believes it to be the best magazine Of general
literature in existence, because its readers miss
| nothing worthy of notice that is current in the
world of thought. So5every friend of THE SUN
discovers one of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking. - &, s
lfyou already know The SUN, you will observe
that in 1883 it is little better than ever before
II you do not already know The Sun, you will
hnd 1t to be mirror of all human activity, a
storehouse of the choicest products of common
sense and Imagination, ma Instay for the cause
OF honest government, sentinel for genuine
| Ieffersonian Democracy, scourage for wicked
ness OF every species, and an uncommonly good
investment for the coming year.

iUa SMALL FARMS.

i
Increasing fertility and produc-
fveness. resulting in advanced
prices for land, must lead to a sub
division of farms. To no small ex-
aent is the perfection OF our tillage
due to the original Pennsylvania
policy of small land grants, and as
the years roll on it will be found
Fthat fifty acres are more produc-
tive than a hundred, and twenty
five more productive than fly. I
am not sure that the time is far
distant when we will realize "ten
acres enough" as more than the
dream Of The book farmer. Mis-
sissippi, with double as many plan
tations as before the war, but aver
aging only halt the size, produces
twice as muchvcotton r ow as then.
France, with lar less area than
Texas. owes her productions of
wheat, nearly as large as ours, her
horses and cattle, almost as many,
and her sheep, more to the system
of small landholding. 1t is to the
thrift of her people. their accurate
and economical cultivation of small
parcels of ground, that sheowes the
recuperative power which has made
hera marvel among nations and
the admiration of the entire world.
There is no poverty so pitiful as
land poverty, and no farmer SO
destitute as one who owns too
much. Many enc who might
Fhave grown rich ION fifty acres,
which he could pay for, has starved
on a bundled, for half of which he
was in debt and paid interest. In
deed | am far from being convin-
ced that every farmer cannot
most proftably work exactly as
much land as he can buy and pay
for. hIeS gs00fn

The latest swindling racket now
being operated in the farming dis
tricts, is that Of offering, a lot Of
nice patterned calicoes at about
half rates, and then, when the pro-
spective buyer is captured with Wis
ions of bargains, lot of valueless
shoddy. goods are offered at about
three times their actual value and
thus the buyer is bitten. The yarn
is told that the so-called assimeres
