The Times will enter upon the new year stronger and more prosperous than ever before iu its history —more widely read and quoted, more heirtily com mended, a: more fiercely criticized, with a more ; complete organization, and an abler staff of con- I tribntors-and with th" same independence and fearlessness th it lias made it successful and power- I fui in the past. The Times has no party to follow, no candidates i to advance, but w i I meet every issue, as it has eve- I done, with c< nsi-tent devotion to the right, to honest government, and the public welfare? And, I while maintaining its position as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it w ill aim to be continually in advance in a 1 t t can add value to a newspaper. The value of n nwspaper is not in its size or dis play, but in the inte l ger.ee ’-nd care, the concise ness and freslinc -s w.rh which it is edited. The Times spends lavishlv for news from all parts of the world, but all its dispatches are carefully edited and condensed, in order to give th ■ complete news of the day in th" mo-t concise and attractive shape, and with it a forge variety of entertaining and in structive reading.

The Weekly Times is altogether different from I the weekly newspapers of twen'y vears ago. The 1 dsy of those pipers is gone by. The telegraph and bettcrlocal newspapers everywhere, e pecially in the thriving centers of rural population, have made the old weekly metropolitan newspaper unsatisfy ing. Those that cling to ther ancient usages have lost their bold on our for t ar’-moving people; thev are but shadows of their former greatness, and they ■ have but a shadow of tiieir former power.

I lay npoa th* headland height, and listened To the incessant sobbing of the sea In caverns under me, And watched the waves, that tossed and fled and glistened, Until the rolling meadows of amethyst Melted away in mist. Then suddenly, as one from sleep, I started; For round about me all the sunny capes Seemed peopled with the shapes Of those whom I had known in days departed, Appareled ip the loveliness which gleams On faces seen in dreams. A moment only, and the light and glory Faded away, and the disconsolate shore Stood lonely as before; And the wild roses of the promontory Around me shuddered in the wind, and shed Their petals of pale red. “Oh, give me back!” I cried, “the vanished splendors, The breath of morn and the exultant strife, When the swift stream of life Bounds o'er its rocky channel, and surren ders The pond, with all Its lillies, for the leap Into the unknown deep.” And the sea answered, with a lamentation. Like some old prophet wailing, and it said; “Alas’ thy youth is deal! It breathes no more—its heart has no pulsa tion; In the dark places, with the dead of old, It lies forever cold!” Then said I: “From its consecrated cere ments I will not drag this sacred dust again, Only to give me pain; But, still remembering all the lost endear ments Goon my way, like one who looks before And turns to weep no more.” Into what land of harvests, what plantations Bright with autumn foliage and the glow Of sunsets burning low; Beneath what midnight skies, whose constel lations Light up the spacious avenues between This world and the unseen. Amid what friendly greetings and caresses— What households, though not alien, yet not mine— " What bowers of rest divine; To what temptations in lone wildernesses, What famine of the heart, what pain and loss The bearing of what cross! — I do not know, nor will I vainly question Those pages of the mystic book which hold The story still untold. But without rash conjecture or suggestion Turn its last leaves in reverence and good heed, Until “The End” I read. THE GOLDEN MAXIM. Mr. John Richardson was one of the most respected of London citizens. He had arrived young in the metropolis, very foot sore, and with five-ana-ninc pcnce in his pocket. In the course of thirty years he had increased the fivc and-ninepcncc to fifty thousand pounds. This was generally considered clever, but in truth the man had no cleverness in his composition. The lack was more than supplied by the possession of that val uable quality called prudence. He was slow, to be sure; dull, but industrious; short-seeing, but sharp-eyed within his ken. He passed through his life acquir ing few ideas, but many guineas. He began ignorant, and he ended ignorant; he began poor, and he ended rich. Mr. John Richardson, at the age ol sixty, found himself retired from busi ness, a widower, with one son. Alfred, the son. was a spirited young mau. He despised trade and tradesmen, and par- i ticularly despised the tradesman, his father. He owned to a very dim notion ■ of the east-end of London, but paraded his intimate knowledge of the west. His associates were entirely aristocratic. Lord Cheroot, Sir Edward Allnight, and the ‘ Honorable Tom Daredevil were his sworn I friends. It was rather an expensive friendship, certainly, for among them they borrowed of him to the extent of a hun dred pounds a month or so, not one far thing of which they made even a show of returning. But he had his money's worth of praise. They assured him that his spirit, his wit, his sagacity, were quite extraordinary, and, for the citizen, almost miraculous. To be sure there was a manner—an air— a something—only to be acquired by companionship with persons of birth; but he had improved greatly in this re spect, they said, and would, in time, be perfect. All this was averred to his face, and, if behind his back their re marks were different, why, they afforded them amusement and gave him no pain. One evening, Mr. John Richardson, ' that respectable, elderly, well-to-do indi vidual, was suddenly taken ill. He went to bed—and never rose again. Just be fore his death he called for his son, Al fred, and, taking his hand affectionately, delivered himself thus, in a broken voice: “Son Alfred, I am about to die, and before I do so, I want to say a few words, as I have always made it a rule to do everything in a business-like man ner. I shall leave you more than fif;y thousand pounds, all got honestly and by hard work. There is something else I shall leave you, almost as valuable. Attached by a green ribbon to the parch ment on which is written my will, you will find a sealed paper, containing the wisest sentence ever put together. By acting in the spirit of that maxim I made all my money, and by acting in it you may use well the money I made. I am not much of a philosopher, son Alfred, . but I say that all a man need know is j contained in that maxim. Do not take it only in its vulgar sense—it applies to i every situation in life, and if people only I understood it better, they wouldn’t be such fools. As you despise or venerate my maxim, so will you fail or prosper.” Soon after pronouncing these words the old gentleman expired. At the proper time the will was produced and read. Attached to it, sure enough, by a green silk ribbon, was a small sealed paper, on the back of which was written, in German text, “The Golden Maxim.” The anxiety was intense as the man in authority broke the seal, and opened the mysterious paper. With a loud, clear voice, he gave forth the contents, which were as follows: “You MUST PAY THE BEST PRICE IF ; YOU W’ANT THE BEST ARTICLE!” At this strange end to their expecta tions, the auditors were variously affected. Some laughed—some whistled—some were angry; but not one, certainly, felt the least respect either for the maxim or the maxim-giver. Alfred, for whose especial benefit the seal had been broken, did not affect to conceal his contempt. As soon as the company had departed, and he was alone, he soliloquized thus: “Well, this is pleasant, curse me! The old fellow must not only bore me with his musty maxim, but render me ridicu lous before my friends! As for the fifty thousand pounds, I’m so far obliged to him, but I want none of his narrow minded posthumous advice how to use it and conduct myself in the world. These slow-goers are always so ready with their counsel—and a deal more ready than wel come ! I can take care of myself, or I’m mistaken.” The first thing he did, to show that he could take care of himself, was to sell the old house and the old furniture, and take a residence in a more fashionable situation, which he immediately set about furnishing. But here one of his peculi aritiss came into operation. In spite of being foolishly extravagant, he had < great notion of bargaining; so he went to a cheap establishment and purchased his furniture, and proudly did he Chuckle when he saw the shining mahOgsfiV. the brilliant carpets-, the resplendent gilding, and thought how little money no had K'veU in return for these comforts and XUrifes. It Was not long, however, be fore the shining mahogany went to pieces, the brilliant carpets faded and wore, out, and the resplendent gilding peeled off. “Humph!”, exclaimed Alfred, musing; “dad was right, certainly, here. As far as mere buying and selling went he knew something, though he was an ignoramus on other points. Yes, I suppose, in trade, the cheapest things are the dearest —you must pay the best price if you want the best article.” He now gave himself up entirely to the society of his somewhat loose, but well-born, associates. Notoriety Was the object of his existence. He wished to rank among the eccentric roues of the day, and become celebrated for breaking lamps, beating policemen, driving over old women, purloining knockers, and in sulting street passengers; but either he had less spirit or more sense than the rest —for in drunkenness, folly, and vice, they were greatly beyond him. While their names were known far and wide, and their deeds were fondly imi tated, he was known only as a third-rate genius, and more an imitator himself than an original worthy of imitation. He retired from the field considerably worse in pocket and constitution “Alasf* said he, “ there was more in that fantas tic maxim than I suspected. It does not apply to trade only. I was willing to purchase notoriety, and find, unhappily, that the first qualily of that commodity costs more than I can afford. It was foolish to wish to obtain it; but more foolish to expect to obtain it cheaply. Yes; you must pay the best price if yeu want the best article.” He had now bidden farewell to his m worthy companions, and resolved to pur sue a better path. Love entirely occu i pied his thoughts. He selected a beauti ful, accomplished and amiable girl, and thought if he could induce her to become his wife, happiness would be his portion for ever. But she was not easily won. There were points in his conduct which she wished to sec altered before she could nrefer him to all others. These ' concessions he was not exactly inclined to make; and there was Mary Tompkins, a very pretty girl, who was quite ready to have him just as he was. He married Mary Tompkins. Six months after mar riage she ran off with Ensign Jenkins. “Ah!” sighed Alfred, “what an error did I commit! I lost a charming creature from idleness and pride. In proportion to the pain of acquisition, so would have been the pleasure of possession. You must pay the best price if you want the best article.” He had arrived at the time of life when love generally yields to ambition. Al fred determined to become great—and great as a philosopher. He would ex amine into the nature of man and. the constiitution of society, and endeavor tb I leave the world wiser and better than he ! found it. He read—he meditated—he wrote—he published. But the course of his reading and meditation was very prudently and daintily in accordance i with popular notions; whence it hap : poned that the books he wrote and pub lished were trite and common-place. He gained no reputation as a philosopher, ■ but he lost none as a man. Truth was not in his compositions,and consequently defamation and abuse were not in the criticisms on them. i “I see, clearly,” said he, “that philo sophic fame and the world’s love are in compatible with each other. Every man who greatly benefits his fellow-creatures is hated and despised, while living by the majority of those he serves. The im morality of an innovator is purchased dearly indeed. must nay the best price if yc ... uie oest article.” His hair was by this time beginning to grbw gray, and the “old gentlemanly vice’* stirred him exceedingly. “I will make money.” exclaimed he. “True, I have already some thousands; but a wise man should consider these merely as seed to produce a plentiful crop. I am not young enough to enter trade regularly, but I will speculate. That is the way to make a fortune in a few years.” •“ Accordingly he bought shares in joint stock companies, and became a trafficker in stock of all sorts. “Bull,” “bear,” “scrip,” “premium,” were familiar words. He thought, he dreamed ol nought but speculation—of shares going down or getting up in the market—or paid up and unpaid up capital. But commercial matters, even the most promising, are uncertain. Alfred's Joint Stock companies went successively to the dogs, and all his stock evinced the great est alacrity in sinking. A few knowing ones became astonishingly rich, but Mr. Alfred Richardson was not a knowing one, and lost nearly all he had in the world. Some one must suffer that others may enjoy! Such is the rule of our charming competitive civilization. Mr. Richardson retired to a garret in the neighborhood of Clerkenwell, to med itate on his fortune-seeking. He came to the conclusion that wealth is most cer tainly procured by industry and self-de nial, and that here, as elsewhere, you must pay the best price if you want the best article. He had managed to preserve from the wreck of his property just enough to exist upon, and he employed his time chiefly in walking about, and viewing, with una vailing regret, those places where he had formerly exercised influence. But wheth er this had a bad effect on his spirits, or from whatever cause it might pro ceed, his health gradually became worse, until at last he was unable to stir from his room. His old and severely-punished sin, however, once more tempted him. He could not prevail on himself to call in a proper medical adviser, but availed himself of the services of Mr. Abraham Solomons, who assured him that he was not only the cheapest but the cleverest surgeon in London! Mr. Abraham Solomons gave him some hope of recov ery; but finding that he got no bet ter, he changed his mind, and declared the case hopeless. “Mrs. Dickinson,” said our unfor tunate hero, “I am dying. You have been a kind landlady, and shall have all I possess. I fall a victim to my neglect of a truly noble axiom. Oh! Mrs. Dick inson, take warning by my example, and never yield to indolence and vanity—you must pay the best price if—” His voice failed; he never spoke again. As, through life, he understood not the golden maxim, so, in death, he was un able to pronounce it. A Fortune in Boots. The rags which the Russian peasant wears have struck all travelers who have visited Russia. Sufficient to say that boots are considered as objects of luxury, and until now, in Little Russia, the girl buys one pair of boots, and must wear them throughout her life. On Sunday, when she goes to church, she walks bare footed in the cold mud of the road, and only when she has arrived at the church she washes her feet in a pond of water, puts on her boots, and enters full dressed. The three roubles (about six shillings) she has paid for her boots are considered by the peasant as such an immense amount of money that his wife never must expect to indulge in a similar ex pense a second time during her life. The sand of the desert of Sahara is of a yellow color, and consists of about ninety per cent, of well-rounded quartz grains and nine per cent, of feldspar. It appeals that the leaf of a plant can transform into useful work as much as forty per cent, of the solar energy it re ceives and absorbs. SELECT SIFTINGS. I Th* “Bay Psalm Book,” published at Cambridge in 1640, was the second book printed in British America. It went through seventy editions. Ih France, until the introduction of postage stamps, and the ni' of double postage for unpaid letters, u was consid ered ill-bred to prepay a letter addressed to a friend. ■ In Paris there are men who make a liv ing by collecting linseed plasters from the hospitals, pressing the oil *rom the lin seed and selling the linen to the paper manufacturers. The ways in which the memory begins to fail are often very curious. There is a case on record of a man who could never remember words beginning with “d,” and another person attached no idea whatever to the figure “5.” After the Crystal Palace (London) ex hibition in 1851, a curious fashion came up of giving Greek names to dress goods and wearing apparel, and the result was very funny. Antigropelos shoes and Eureka shirts were among the queerly named articles. Recent experiments in German schools have shown that the difficulty in reading black letters on a white ground compared to that of reading white on a black ground Isas 421 to 496, and, therefore, the slate and the blackboard will probably fall into disuse in the empire. According to a recent authority a Jap anese fish, known as Fuku, is so poison ous that death follows almost instantane ously after eating only a moderate piece qf it. It is not unfrequently the cause of deatn among the lower classes, who be lieve it to be possessed of certain marvel ous properties, on account of which they risk the danger of being poisoned. On the top of the Washington monu ment, at a height of four hundred and ten feet, great quantities of bees and wasps have been seen, and, strange to say, rats even find their way up there after crumbs from the luncheons of the workmen. Three large rats found there made their exit by jumping down the interior of the column, finding sure death at the bottom. Origin of Names of the Fabrics. Everything connected with one's busi ness is of importance. Very few dry goods men know the origin of the names of many of the goods they handle. They may seem trivial points, but they are of interest to the man who seeks to be thoroughly familiar with the merchan dise in which he deals. For the infor mation of such we give the derivation of the following goods: Damask is from the city of Damascus; satins from Zaytown in China; calico from Calicut, a town in India, formerly celebrated for its cotton cloth and where calico was also printed. Muslin, is named from Mosul in Asia. Alpaca, from an animal in Peru, of the llama species, from whose wool the fabric is woven. Buckram takes its name from Fos tat, a city of the middle ages, from which the modern Cairo is descended. Taffeta and tabby from a street in Bag dad. Cambric from Cambrai. Gauze has its name from Gaza; baize for Bajac; dimity from Damietta, and jeans from Jean. Drugget is derived from a city in' Ireland, Drogheda. Duck comes from Torque, in Normandy. Blanket is called after Tomas Blanket, a famous clothier connected with the introduction of wool ens into England about 1310. Serge de rives its name from Xerga, a Spanish name for a peculiar woolen blanket. Diaper is not from D'Ypres, as is some times stated, but from the Greek dias pron, figured. Velvet is from the Italian vellute, woolly (Latin vellus—a hide or pelt). Shawl is the Sanscrit sala, floor, for shawls were first used as carpets and tapestry. Bandanna is from an Indian word, to bind or tie, because they are tiM in knots before dyeing. Chintz TvwHiqn wnnj rhptt* Jiff, hdne is the French “of wool.”— Trade Journal. Invention of Glass. The popular belief credits the inven tion of glass to the Phoenicians, and our readers will recall, no doubt, the story of its fortuitous discovery by Phoenician merchants who rested their cooking-pots on blocks of natron (sub-carbonate of soda), and found glass produced by the union of the alkali and the sand of the sea shore. It is unquestionable,however, that the art of glass making and glass working has been known from very re mote times. The earliest example of glass of which the date has been pre served by an inscription, is of Egyptian origin. It is a small lion's bead of opaque blue glass. It was found at Thebes by Signor Drovetti, and is now in the Brit ish museum. The underside of this relic contains hieroglyphics which bear the name of an Egyptian monarch who lived about 2,400 B. C. Other relics of glass bearing inscriptions have been found among the ruins and tombs of that an cient nation, and in the tombs of Beni Hasin, which are at least as early as 2,000 B; C., the art of glass-blowing is repre sented in an unmistakable manner.— Bow Bells.

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA. n ‘ Overtook the •‘City to*”—Captain Murray’* Mean ua Ex- A few years azo, the City of Boston sailed from harbor, crowded with an expectant throng of passengers bound for a foreign shore. She never entered port The mystery of her untimely end grows deeper as the years increase, and the Atlantic voyager, when the fierce winds howl around and danger is imminent on every hand, shud ders as the name ani mysterious fate of that magnificent vessel are alluded to. Our reporter, on a recent visit to New York, took lunch with Captain George Sid dons Murray, on board the Alaska, of the Guion line. Captain Murray is a man of stalwart build, well-knit frame and cheery, genial disposition. .He has been a constant voyager for a quarter of a century, over half of that time having be°n in the trans-Atlan tic service. In the course of the conversation over the well-spread table, the mystery of the City of Boston was alluded to. “Yes,” remarked the captain, “I shall never forget the last night we saw that ill fated vessel I wa j chief effleer of the City of Antwerp. On the day we sighted the City of Boston a furious southeast hurricane set in. Both vessels labored h’ird. The sea seemed determined to sweep away every ves tige of life. When day ended the gale did not abate, and everything was lashed for a night of unusual fury. Our good ship was turned to the south to avoid the possibility of icebergs. The City of Boston, however, undoubtedly went to the north. Her boats, life-preservers and rafts were all securely lashed; and when she went down, everything went with her, never to re appear until the sea gives up its dead.” “What, in your opinion, captain, was the cause of the loss of the City of Boston;” “The City of Limerick, in almost precisely the same latitude, a few days later, found the sea full of floating ice; and I have no doubt the City of Boston collided with the ice, and sunk immediately.” Cat tain Murray has been in command of the Alaska ever since she was put in commis sion, and feels justly proud of his noble ship. She carries thousands of passengers every Sear, and has greatly popularized ths Wil ams & Guion line. Remarking upon the bronzed and healthy apj carance of the cap tain, the reporter raid that sea life did not seem to be a very great physical trial. “No 1 But a person’s appearance is not always a trustworthy indication of his physi cal condition. For seven years I have been in many respects very much out of sorts with myself. At certain times 1 was so lame that it was difficult for me to move aromil. I could scarcely straighten up. I did not know what the trouble was, and though I j»er formed all my duties regularly and satisfac torily, yet I felt that I might some day be overtaken with some serious pros trating disorder. These troubles increased. I felt dull and then, again, shooting jiains through my ar—s and limbs. Possibly the next day I would feel flushed and unaccount ably uneasy and the day following chilly and despondent. This continued until last De cember, when I was prostrated soon after leaving Queenstown, and for the remainder of the voyage was a helplcs-, pitiful sufferer. In January last, a friend who made that voyage with me, wrote me a letter, urging me to try a new course of a treatment. I gladly accepted his counsel, and for the last seven months have given thorough and busi ness-like attention to the recovery of my nat ural health; and to-day, I have tne proud sat isfaction of saying to you that the lame back, the strange feelings, the sciatic rheumatism which have so long pursued me, have entirely disappeared through the blood purifying in fluence of Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure which entirely eradicated all rheumatic pois on from my system. Indeed, to me, it se-nis that it has worked wonders, and I therefore most cordially commend it.” “And you nave no trouble now in exposing yourself to the winds of the Atlantic!” “Not the least. lam as sound as a bullet and I feel specially thankful over the fact because I believe rheumatic and kidney dis ease is in the blocd of my family. 1 was drea ifully shocked on my last arrival in Liv erpool to learn that my brother, who is a wealthy China tea merchant, had suddenly died of Brights disease of the kidneys, and consider my self extremely fortunate in Lav ing taken my trouble in time and before any more serious effects were possible.” The conversation drifted to other topics, and as the writer watched the face before him, so strong in al) its outlines and yet so genial, and thought of the innumerable ex posures and hardships to which its owner had been exposed, he instinctively w shed all who are suffering from the terrible rheumatic troubles now socommon might know of cap- Murray’s experience and the means by which he had been restored. Fain is a common thing in this world, but far too many endure it when they might just as well avoid it. It is a false philosophy which teaches use to endure when we can just as readily avoid. So thought the hearty captain of the Alaska, -jguiJdnkjuLbh writer and so should all others think who desire happiness and a long life. The ladder of success—The steps of the sav Ings bank.

Ten days before his death Lincoln dreamed that “ the President” lay dead in the White House, “ killed by the hand of ‘hn assassin." When his wife heard of the tragedy she ex ilaimed, “His dream was prophetic!” Tha majority of dreams, however, are never ful filled—they are too fantastic, or they are solved by contraiy events. People are often posse-sel of the idea that they shall soon die. They find themselves the subject of strange feelings. They know they are not what they once were, and as they approach certain ages they are quite sure they will not “be long of earth.” These impressions as a rule are the result of an imagination disordered by disease, but they can be shaken off by prompt and thorough measures. We are tld that very many dis eases can be prevented; inded, half the deaths are said to be preventable! Hence the importance of always acting promptly in ever}’ personal emergency. Justice William Moul, of West Sandlake, N, Y., very highly esteemed in Troy,was for s'cars plagued by forebodings that he was doomed to an early death. He had dull and Hitting pains in various parts of the body, his complexion was bad, his appetite wai variable, he felt weary without known cause, was constantly constipated, his tongue was heavily coated, and irequent feverish dis orders appeared. Then followed extreme tenderness and pain in the back, great las situde, gravelly deposits in water, which was dark, frothy and odorous, all indicat ing liver and kidney disorders. These de velopments alarmed him. especially since physicians did him no good. About giving up in despair, he followed the counsel ol one of the Supreme Court Justices to use Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy (of Rondout, N. Y.,) as an experiment. It scat tered his bad feelings, revived his appetite, restored his liver and kidneys, renewed his ulood, increased his weight by twenty poundi and to it alone he gives the credit of saving his life. Dreams and warnings and forebodings ol early death need not always be fulfilled il proper measures are promptly taken to de feat them. — Troy (N. F.) Tinies. Walnut Leaf Hair Restorer.
