THE Times has no party to follow. no candi-

that can add value to Il newspaper.
The value OF newspaper Is not in its size or
display. but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciSeneSs and freshness with which it IS
edited. THE TINES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world. but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, ana with
it a large variety Of entertaining and instruc-

THE $ i N :
NEW YORK. 1854

About sixty million copies Of TIRE sun have
gone out Of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you We're to paste end TO end all the col
umns of all THE Sun printed aud sold last year
you would get q continuous strip of interesting
information. common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount COperniCUs in the moon, then back TO
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But The SUN is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
II every buyer of copy OF The SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour this newspaper in 1883 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form sny idea of the circulation 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, q news
paper which tells the truth without fear Of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs. which presents
the news all over 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 be-
GeVes that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know The Sun. you like it already,

and profit during what is sure to be the most

SYDNEY h. P1ERsox ~ THE JUDGE.

Let others pirate OF foaming beer,
With Frankfurter and Schweitzer, too;
Or growing sadder, drop a tear
In musing on an Irish stew:
Let othe rs tell the feasts they knew
When turtle steamed in huge tureens,
1 care not, though all men pooh pooh,
I sing in praise Of pork and beans.
At Gallc mysteries sneer,
Soups, entrees, rotis or ragout;
I deem the pate strangely queer,
scorn the gaudy clad menu;
One dish alone hold as true,
That scorns all punishment of greens.
Or name in mOngrel paElez v0us,
sing in praise of pork and beans.
Life does not seem so empty here,
When one has had a dish or two,
Nor honesty u thin veneer,
With its simplicity in view.
Alas, free lunches grow more few;
Not always hath the bard the means.
Nor may for tick the walters WOO
I sing in praise OF pork and beans.

The haunt OF cultures king and queens.
