A Letter.
Dot of tbe dreary distance and the dark
1 stretched forth praying palms—yet not to
pray;
Hands fold themselves for Heaven, while mine,
olns 1 I , 1 w ( 1 | f
Are sundered—heldyoor way.
Brief moments have been oars, yet bright as
brief;
Oh 1 how I live them over, one by one,
Now that the endless days, bereft of yon,
Creep slowly, sadly on.
Garnered in memory, tho6o bewildering hours,
A golden harvest of enchantment yield;
Here, like a pale, reluctant Ruth, I glean
A cold and barren field—
Barren without a shelter; and tbe hedge
Is made of thorns and brambles. If I fain
W ould lean beyond the barrier, do you see
The wounding and the stain f
Did God make us to mock ns. on the earth ?
Why did He iuse our spirits by llis word,
Then set His awful Angel in our path,
His Angel with the sword ?
Why, when I contrite kneel confessing all,
And seek with tears the way to be forgiven—
Why do your pleading eyes look sadly down
Between my face uud Heaven I
Why does my blood thrill at your fancied
touch—
Stop and leap up at your ideal caress ?
Ah, God ! to fee’, that dear warm mouth'on
mine
In lingering teuderness 1
To lie at perfect peace upon yonr heart,
Your arms close folded round me firm and fast,
My cheek to yours—oh, vision dear as vain 1

Tbe different edltiousof The Sun during the
next year will be the.same as during the vear
that has just passed. The daily edition will on
week days be a sheet of four pages, aud on
Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad
columns; _ while the weekly edition will boa
BhcQt o£ eight pages of the same dimensions
aud character that are already familiar to our
friends.
The Sun will continue to be tho strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, ar.d of
the substttution of statesmanship, wisdom, and
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and
fraud in the administration of public affairs. It
will contend for the government of the people
by the people and for the people, ns opposedto
government by frauds in the ballot-boxand in
the counting of votes, enforced by military
violence. It will endeavor to supply its readers
?lu ^ now no * frem a million of souls—
with the most careful, complete, aud trustworthy
accounts of current events, nnd will employ for
this purpose a numerous nnd carefully selectod
stall ot reportere und correspondents. Its re
ports from Washington, especially, will be full,
accurate, nnd fear,ess; and it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred (f
tlio&o who thrive by plundering the Treasury or
usurping what tne law does not give them,
while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of
tliepublic by detending the rights of the people
against the encroachments of unjustified power.
The price or the duily Sun will be 55 cents n
month or $6.50 a year, post paid, or with the
Suuday edition $7.70 a year.
Tbe Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20
i\yenr, post paid. '
yClve Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56. broad
columns, will be .furnished during 1877 at tbe
rate of $1 a year, post paid. '
The benefit of this large reduction-from the
previous rate for tho Weekly can beenjoj~ed by
individual subscribers without the necessity o t
making up clubs. At the same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in extending our cireu-
latiou, we shall be grateful to them, and every
such person who sends us ten or more sub
scribers tram oue place will be entitled to one
copy of the paper for himself without charge.
At one dollar a year, postage paid, tho expenses
ot paper and printing are barely repaid; and,
considering the size of the sheet and the quality
of its contents, wo are confident the people will
consider The Weekly Sun the cheapest news
paper published in the world, and we trust also
one of the very best.

(without medicine) of Spermatorrhrea or Seminal

mode of cure at once simple, certain, and effec

cheaply, privately, and radically.
