BABYs FINGERS ON THE PANE.

From tie music softly stecling
Down the dim arcade Of years,
Comes the melodies treasure,
Hallowed by my joys and tearsj
Aud amid their magic numbers,
Reaching down golden chain,
can hear baby's fingers
Tapping on the window pane
can hear baby's fingers
Calling at the window pane.
When my hands with toll were weary,
And the twilight shadows fell,
And wandered slowly homeward
To my cot within the dell,
Then my weary steps grew lighter,
AS there foated down the lane,
Music sweet OF baby's fingers
Tapping on the window pane,
sAfusic sweet Of baby's fingers
i.Calling at the window pane.
When the winter storms were beating
On the hiltops, cold ana white,
Or the summer flowers were blooming
In my pathway warm and bright;
% Still | heard on home returning
Rapping light as falling rain
Twas the sound of baby's fingers
Tapping on the window pane;
Twas the sound of baby's fingers
IN. Calling at the window pane.
9 Oft the world in coldness met me
And would crush me in its pride;
toft misfortunes gathered round me
To overthrow me with its tide.
Sick and weary, faint and hungry,
would wander up the lane;
Then how clear was baby's fingers
Tapping at the window pane;
Then how clear was baby's fipgers
Calling at the window pane.
But one eve darkened shadow
Fell across the cottage floor,
Aud the Grape upon the morrow
j. Hung in folds along the door.
Yeprs of wearincss and sorrow,
il n have listened all in vain,
For the sound of baby's fingers
Tapping on the window panej
For the sound of bahy's fingers
Calling at the window pane.
But methinks within cottage
or the city pure Of gold, ....
There is waiting for my footsteps
Papa's baby as of old.
And some summer day in Heaven
Treadng up the pearly lane,
shall hear my baby's fingers
Tapping on the window pane;
shall hear my baby's fingers
Calling at the window pane.

THE N. Y. SUN.
NEW YORK, 1858.

More people have read TUE sun during
the year Just now passing than ever before
since IL was first printed. No other news
paper published on this SIDE or tho earth has
been bought and read in any year by SO many
men and women.
We are creditably Informed that people
buy, read, and like THE SUN for The follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
trautive form and with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has interest for human
kind the events, tho deeds, and misleeds, he
Wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly,
the solid sense, the improving nOnsense-all
the news OF the busiest world ut present re-
vUlving in space.
Because people have learned that IN its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
SUS makes practice OF telling them the cN-
act truth to the best Of ability three hundred
aud sxty-Eve days in the year, before elcc-
tion as well MS after, about the whales as
well as the small hsh, in the face of dissent as
plainly and fearlcssly as when supported bv
general approval TnR Sun has absolutely
no purposes to serve, rave the information OF
Its readers and the furtherance of the com
mon good.
because it is evcrybody's newspaper No
man is so humble that THE sun is Indifferent
TO his welfare aud his rights. No man, no
association OF men, is powerful enough TO be
exempt from the strict application of its
principles OF right and wrong.
Bee 4use in politics 1t has fought for n dozen
years, without intermission and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the fight
that has resulted in The recent Overw he lining
| popular verdict against RObesOnism and for
| hunest government. No matter what party
| is in power, THE Sun stands ana will con.
| tinue TO stand like II rock for the interests OF
| the people against tho ambition of bosses he
| encroachments of monopolists. and the dis
| honest schemes of public robbers
| All this is what we are told almost daily
! by our friends. One man holds that THE
| SUN Is the hest relig iOus newspaper ever pub
| lished, because its Christianity is undlluted
with cant. Another holds that 1t is tho best
| Republican newspaper printed, because 1t ha,
already whipped half Of the Tascals out OF
| that party. and the proceedings against The
| other half with unde inished yigUr. A thirC
| believes IL TO be the best magazine ofgenera
literature in existence because its readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is current
in the world Of thought. So every friend o
| 1HeS discovers one Of its many sides thai
appeals with particular force to his individu
| al liking.
1fyou already know TUE SUN, you will oh
serve that In 1883 IL is little better than eve
| before. IL you do not already know TIL
SUN, you will hnd II TO he n mirror OF all hu
man activity, II stOrehouse of the choices
/ products Of common sense and Imagination.

HIS RACHEL.

"Going away !! All thank heavens,gc-

balf to her bounding heart and half to

mice that came out of their holes to watch
her curiously.

The girl sprang to her feet as if t

Rejoice. rejoice, she is alive again.
"Was lost, but is found"

UNDER date of July 9, 1882, E. B. BRIGHT, Of
Windsor Locks Conn, writes plain modest mar
rative, which, from its very simplicity has the true
ring of fine gold. He says:
"My father is using Hunts Remedy. and seems to
be improving; in fact he is very much better than
he has been for long time. He had been tapped
three times The first time they got frrm him six
teen quarts of water, the second time thirteen
quarts, and fully as much more the third time, and
had been tapped, until he commenced using Hunts
Remedy, which acted HE magic in his case as he
accumulation passes away through the secretions
naturally, and he has none of that swelling or filing
up which was so frequent before the functions CT
the kidneys were restored by the use OF Hunts
Remedy. He IS welknown citizen of this place,
and has alwaFs been in business here"
Again he writes November 27, 1882:
II beg most cheerfuy and trlthfully to state, in
regard to Hunts Remedy, that its use tine
saving of my fathers life. l spoke to you in my
previous letter in regard to bis beiog tapped thrte
times. 1t is the most remarkable case that has ever
been heard of in this section. For man of his age
(sixty years) it is most remarkable cure. He had
been unable to attend to his business more than
year, and was given up by the doctors.
''The first bottle of Hunts Remedy that he used
gave instant relief He has used in all seyen bottles
and continues to use whenever he feels irowsy or
sluggish, and it affords instant relief He is now
attending to his regular business, and has been
several months. 1 am perfectly willing that you
should publish this letter, as we thoroughly believe
that fathers life saved by using Hunts Remedy
and these facts given above may be benefit to
others suffering in Ike manner from diseases or
naction Of the Kidneys and Liver. n61yMWF&w1y
