EDe sui.
NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies Of THE Sun
have gone out of our establishment dur
lug the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the
columns of all THE SUNS printed and sold
last year you would get continuous
strip Of interesting information, common
sense wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
wit long enough to reach from Print
ing House Square to the top of Mt
Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House Square, and then three.
quarters of the way back to the moon
again.
But THE Sun is written for the inhabit-
ants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe twenty
seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of copy Of THE Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father spent another hour, this newspaper
in 1883 has afforded the Luman race 10000
years of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea Of the circula-
tion Of the most popular of American
newspapers, or Of its influence on the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
THE Sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news Of all the
world without waste Of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for the cause of honest
government, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must go, and
must 90 in this coming year of our Lord
1854.
Ifyou know THE Sun, you like it al
ready, and yon will read it with aCcuStom-
ed diligence and profit during what is sure
to be the most interesting year in its his
tory. If you do not yet know The Sun,
it is high time to get into the sunshine.

Questionings.

Tell me, oh dying day,
Before thou fadest away,
Kissed by the sun,
Hast thou no vague regret,
Now that the sun has set,
That life is done?
Tell me, oh rapturous night,
If the soft starry light
Fills thy desirey
Hast thou no discomfort,
When the warm day is spent,
Without its fire.
Tell Inc, oh world remote,
If no light shadows float
Over thy skys
Tell me, l fain would know
If longings come and go
After we diey
