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. W. F. C. -■ ■' 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 Agriculturalist.

DAYID LANDRETH 4 SONS, Seed Growers, 21 4 23 S. SIXTH ST. PHILADELPHIA 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.
