During tire event fid year just
closed, Old Father Time swept
thousands of liiffh and low’ from
t he stage of existence —witnessed
the destruction of many a ivell
eonceived plan for the maintain
ance of nersonal and gnvernmen
tal pursuits, as well as the rise
and progress of many others.
Altogether the year 1881, was
But a repetition of events of me
eeding years, and a reminder of
the fact that ‘‘history repeats
itself.” In reviewing the shift
ing scenes of the pasf r we are
reminded of the impotency of
man imd the potency of God,
who, when he speaks com pel Is
submission on the part of aU his
creatures.
How is it with us of tins favor
ed section ? Do we begin the
New Year with nkw resolutions ?
Are we thankful' for the bles
sings of the past, and do we fee;
a proper dependence on the
great I Am for a continuance of
the same? Or are we envious,
uncharitable and jealous in our
acts and feelings toward each
other? Dp we forget that in free
America freedom of thought and
liberty of speech is % right guar
anteed by both church and
slate? Or is the spirit of p-ro
scription abroad in. I lie land—
making enemies of those who are
not of life same religions faith,
and who adhere lo different po
litical opinions ? If the latter
state of affairs exist, contentions
and strifes and jealousies will
take possession of the people and
thereby retard religions progress,
impair the morals of those whose
moral characters are now in the
balance and detract from the ma
terial advancement of the eoun
try.
In conclusion we hope for the
best of results to the country
during the present year. That
these results may be realized,
offer to suggest that we “possess
our souls with patience” toward
each other, and always be in the
frame of mind limns was when
he said—
Oh wad some power the-gift to gie us,
To see oursila as ithers see us.

Cooking by Electricity
—— *
Of the many curious tilings cer
tain to be seen at the forthcoming
exhibition of electricity at Paris,
not the least remarkable will be
the electrical cooking range of M.
Salignac; that ingenious gentlmau
is going to Hit up bis apparatus
in the grili room of the restau
rant, and intends to furnis a great
▼arrety of meats which have been
cooked by beat generated from
the electric current. At the last
Paris exhibition, M. Mouchol
roasted mutton in condense sun
shine, and literally turned his
spit on the hearth of the sun; but
an enthusiastic admirer might
say that M. Salignac had farsur—
passed this in broiling steaks by
lightning and warming coffee
with the aurora borealis. At a
matter of fact the electric current
is well fitted to produce heat as it
is to produce light, and just as
electricity will, in all probability,
be made to yield the principal ar
tificial light of the future, so will
it doubtless be applied to house
hold heating. The same ma
chines which light the house by
night will heat and cook by day,
besides performing other duties,
such as driving a coffee mill or a
•ewing machine —Exchange.

The Pleasures of the'.Table.
The simplest food will not suffice to
maintain a community in mental and
j physical health, and to produce the
| highest form of efforts. A people who
I live on rice will usually be found unfit to
|do anything better than grow rice. Mo-
I notony in food, as in oilier tilings, begets
dullness. For all classes there must be
something in life to look forward to if
men or not to become soured ; and, con
stituted as we are at pm-sent, the pleasures
of the table must continue to form an in
portant element among the pleasures avail- !
able for man. But if the use of luxurous
food be defensible on these grounds, abso
lute waste cf food, at any rate, produces
the ill effect pointed out, without any
compensating advantage. The dinner at
every gluttonous city feast contributbes his
quota to the already existing distress in
some other "part of the community. So
does the guests at a charity dinner. The
money lie subscribes to the charity is
merely a transfer of wealth which leaves
ti e world neither rich npr poorer; the din
ner he eats or leaves increases the poverty
of his seighbor.-The Fort-nightly Review.

The Hampshire-Down Sheep,
The Hampshire.Dowu breed of sheep
originntd at the beginning of the present
century in a cross between the old White
faced sheep of Hampshire, England, and
the pure South-Downs. After the few
generations of crossing, the horns disap
peared', and the face became black, in
fact, the prepotency of the South-Downs
greatly changed the ch aracteristics of the
native Hampshire sheep, though tbc mas
sive head, Reman nose, large size, and
hard ness of constitution, were retained in
the crotr. The Hunipsinre-Downs, in
some of the best farmed districts of
Hampshire and Berkshire [Eng.] have
gradually displaced the South-Downs, and
afford an excellent breed for crossing with
long-wooled sheep. The lambs are drop
ped, early, and fed for the market, or
seld for mutton Ihe following spring, and
when well fed will weigh 100 ponnds.
The fleece yields six to seven of good
wool, being longer and somewhat coarser
than that of South-Down. The larger
size, strong constitution, and early maturi
ty cf the Hampshire-Down make it a
specially valuable breed under many cir
cumstances in this country.—American

The Sun.
“ NEW YORK, 1882
Tuf Sun for 1882 will make its fit'
teenth annual revolution under Ihe
present management, shinning, as al
ways, for big and little, mean and gri
eious, contented and unhappy, R-qiub
licsn and- Dem< crat, d-prave'dl l and
virtuous, intelligent and obtuse. -.The.
Sun’s light is for mankind and woman
kind of every sort; but its genial
warmth is for the good, while it p uts
hot discomfort on the bits'ering backs
of the persistently wicked.
Tub Sun of 1868 was a newspap-r
of a n--w kind. It discarded maty of
the forms, and a multitude of the su
perfiuous words and phra-es of ancient
journali-m. ituudertook to report in
a fr< sh, sucoiuct, unconventional way
all the uews of the world, omitting no
event of hitman interest, and c o i.rnent
ing upon aff tirs wi h the fearh sencss
of absolute independence. The success
of this experiment was toe succoss of
The Sun. It effected a permanent
change in the style of Americau news
paper-. Every important journal es
tablished in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after
The Sun. Every important journal
already existing has been modifies and
bettered by the force of The Sun’s ex
ample.
The Sun of 1882 will be the same
outspoken, truth telling, and interest
ing newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which
an abundant prosperity affords, we shall
make it better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting it
into reliable shape, and measuring its
importance, not by the traditional
yardstick, but by its real interest to the
people. Distance from Printing House
Square is not the first ccndi ion with
The Sun. Whenever anything liap
pen worth reporting we get the par
ticulars, whether it happens in Brook
lyn or in Bokhara.
In politics w e have decided opinions;
and are accustomi and to express them in
language that can be und-rstood. We
say what we think about, men and
events. Th3t habit is tho only secret
of The Sun’s political course.
Tiie Weekly Sun gathers into eight
pages the best, matter of the soven dai
ly issues. An Agricultural Depart
ment of unequalled merit, full market
reports, and a liberal proportion of lit
erary, scientific, and donusiic intelli
gence complete The Weekly Sun,
and make- it the best newspaper for the
farmer's household that was ever print
ed.
Who does not know and read and
like The Sunday Sun, each number of
which is a Golcondaof interesting lit
erature, with the best poetry of the
day, prose every line worth reading,
news, humor—matter enough to fill a
good-sized book, and infiniteiy more
varied and entertaining than any book,
big or little ?
If our idea of what a newspaper should
be pleases yon, send for The Sun.
Our terms are as follows :
For the daily Sun, a four page sheet
of twenty eight columns, the price by
mail, post paid, is 55 cents a month, or
$6.50 a year; or, including the Sunday
paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty six
columns, the price is 65 cents per
month, or $7.70 a year, postage paid.
The Sunday edition of The Sun is
also furnished seperately at $1.20 a
year, postage paid.
The price of the Weekly Sun, eight
pages, fifty six columns, is $1 a year,
postage paid. For clubs often sending
$lO we will send an extra copy free.
