THE SUN FOR 1860.
The Sun will deal with the events of the year
1880 iu its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem
ber 81, will be conducted an a newspaper, written
in the English language, and printed for the
poople.
Asa newspaper, The Sun believes in petting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting it
in the most intelligable shape—the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of the
age with the least unproductive expenditure of
time. The greatest interest to the greatest num
ber—that is, the law controlling its daily make-up.
It now has a circulation much larger than any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which is at all times prepared to spend liberally
for the benefit oi its readers. People ot all condi
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read
The Hun; and they all derive satisfaction of some
sort from its columns, for they keep ou buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun bo
lieves that the only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine Amcric an
principles and backed by honesty of pnrpoi-< . For
the reason it is, and will continue to be, absolute
ly independent of party, class, clique, organiza
tion, or interest . It is for all, but of none. It will
continue to praise what is good and reprobate
what is evil, taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the posibility of being
misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface: it has uo opin
ions to sell save those which may be had by any
purchaser for two cents. It hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates unnecessary
words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and de
plores nincompoops of every species. It will con
tinue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
tirst cl tsfi, instruct the second, and discountenance
the third. All honest men with honest convic
tions, whether sound or mistaken are its friends.
And The Sun makes no bones of telling the truth
to its friends and about its friends whenever occa
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
w ill be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will he one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close Iris eyes to public af
fairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it has iu store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilence on the part
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the. founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contest of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to
he held iu November. Four years ago next Nov
ember the will of the nation, as expressed at the
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspir
acy, and promoters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the officers they hold. Will the crime of 1876
be repeated in 1880 ? The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent
Administration intrenched at Washington. The
Sun did something townrd dislodging the gang
and breaking its power. The same men are now
intriguing to restore their leader and themselves
to places from whence they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they succeed 7 The
coming year will bring the answer to these mo
mentous questions: The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed. and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their rela
tions to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in great
things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights
of the people and tire principles of the Constitu
tion against all aggressors, The Sun is prepared to
write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.
Our rates of subseritions remained nnehanged.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.
During the coming year—a year that
will witness the progress and culmination
of the most interesting political contest that has
ever taken place in this' country—every citizen
an t every thoughtful person will be compelled to
rely upon the newspapers for information. Why
not get the best ? Abroad The o: institution is
recognized, referred to Rnd quoted from as the
leading Southern Journal—as the, organ and vehi
cle of the best Southern thought and opinion—
aud at homo its columns are consulted for the
latest news, the freshest comment, and for ali
matters of special and current interest. The Con
stitution contains more and later telegraphic
news than any other Georgia paper, aud this par
ticular feature will be largely added to during Ihe
coming year. All Us facilities for gathering the
latest news from all parts of the country will be
enlarged and supplemented. The Constitution
is both a chronicler and commentater. Its edito
rial opinions, its contributions to the drift of cur
rent discussion, its humorous aud satirical par
agraphs, are copied from one end of the country
to the other. It aims always to be the brightest
and the best—newsy, original aud piquant. It
aims particularly to give the news impartially and
fully, and to keep its readers informed ou tho drift
of current discussion by liberal but concise quo
tations from all of its contemporaries. It aims, in
short, to ntore than ever deserve to be known as
“the leading Southern newspaper.” bill Arp will
continue to contribute his unique letters, which
grow in savory humor week by week. “Old Si”
will add his quaint fun to the collection of good
things, and “Uncle Remus” has in preparation a
series of negro myth legends, illustrating the folk
lore of the old plantation. In every respect The
Constitution for 1880 will be better than ever.
Thf. Weekly Constitution is a carefully edited
compendium of the news of the week and con
taius tire best aud trestles! matter to be found in
any other weekly from a daily office. Its news
anil miscellaneous contents arc the freshest and
its market reports the latest.

Profane Swearing.
A few years since I was a passenger on
our Southwestern railway, anil found my
self in the possession of Bishop Quiiitard,
of Tennessee. A more accomplished Chris
tum gentleman, a more kind and genial
companion, I have seldom ever met with.
We were passing through Bedford in this
State, and I presume the senior of the
Herald, and tho pastoral incumbent of
Grace .Street Church, would have no reas
on to interpose special objection if I think
it proper to say that this is a county famed
for the number of distinguished men it
has furnished the Christian ministry of
different denominations,among whom was
the lamented Nicholas 11. Cobbs,late Bish
op of Alabama. As we came in full view
of the famous peaks of Otter, Bishop ol>-
served to me that he never passed the
peaks in recent days without being re
minded of an anecdote in connection with
the memory of our mutual acquaintance,
Bishop Cobbs, “who,” he said, “seemed
to be the charm of every social circle he
happen, and to enter.” Bishop Quintard
w ent on to say that Bishop Cobbs and he
were one evening in company with several
other bishops of their church,all in pleas
ant social conversation, and one of them
requested Mr. Cobbs to tell them how ho
broke the man in Bedford from swearing.
Bishop Cobbs stated that he was passing
along the public road one morning in
Bedford, and at the foot of a heavy hill
he came up to a man with a loaded wagon,
and a team that seemed inclined to balk,
lie had evidently made several efforts to
ascend the hill; with little progress,he was
in a terrible passion, and sweating most
profanely.
The Bishop said he rode gently up to
the man, and in a kind and respectful
tone said:
“My friend, can you not drive your
team up tho hill without swearing so dread
fully V”
“No, sir,neither can you,” said the man,
“and if you think you cun, get down and
try it.”
The Bishop said lie felt inclined to smile
at the unexpected reply; but assuming a
more serious air, he said to the i .an: "I
never could bo induced to profane my
Master’s name on account of a foolish
horse. Where do you live, sir ?"
“JuHt over there, at the foot of the Peaks
of Otter, where I have liv. and nearly all my
life,” said tho man.
"That is what I thought,” said the Bish
op, “but the wonder to me is this, that
you should have spent the larger portion
of your life at the foot of those tall peaks,
whose ascending summits are always
pointing up to the throne of Him who Las
waid, “Thou shall not take the name of
tho Lord thy God in vain,’ and yet pro
fane that name so awfully ?”
The man let the reins attached to liis
team dangle a little loosely from his hand,
looked at the Bishop with an expression
of seriousness and surprise at his own
folly, and said: “It does seem a little
strange, indeed 1”
“Not a little strange, merely,” said the
Bishop, “but awfully wicked.”
The Bishop said he made the man turn
pale with thoughts of liis own wickedness,
and then said: “I presume you have no
idea of the number of wicked oaths you
have uttered in time ?”
“No, I have not,” said the man. "I
could not say how many.”
“Did you ever derive any benefit from
profane swearing?” said the Bishop.
“Never in my life,” said tho man.
“But the day of final account will show
that you are a fearful debtor; it does not
pay, and you had better quit,” said the
Bishop.
“I believe I will.” said the man.
The Bishop said, so far as he could
learn, the man never uttered unother oath.

Look at Your Tongue.
A man can never be well or happy if the
Btomach is out of order; and dyspepsia,
like hysteric, imitates the symptoms of in
numerable disorders. Hut bow, the read
er may ask, cun 1 tell whether the illness
from which 1 think 1 am suffering be real
or imaginary? At any rate, I should an
swer, look to your stomach first, and,pray,
just take a glance at your tongue. If ever
1 was so far left to myself as to meditate
some rash act, I should before going into
the matter, have a look at my tongue. If
it was not perfectly clear and moist, I
should not consider myself perfectly heal
thy, nor perfectly sane, and would post
pone my proceedings, in the hope that
my worldly prospects would get brighter.
What does a physician discover by looking
at the tongue ? Many things. The ton
gue sympathizes with every trilling ail
ment of body and mind, and especially
with the estate of the stomach. That thin
whitish layer all over the surface most
likely indicates indigestion. A patchy
tongue shows that, the stomach is very
much out of order indeed. A yellow ton
gue points to billiousness. A creamy,
shivering, thick, indented tongue tells of
previous excesses; and I do not like ray
friends to wear such tongues, for I sin
cerely believe that real comfort cannot be
secured in this world by any one who does
not keep his feet warm, his head cool, and
his tongue clean.
It happened when Oil City was anew

of the prominent members went out the
side door for a few moments just asan,
referting to the death of a noted citizen,

where, oh! whine shall we find one who
shall fill his place? Supposing the speaker
had reference to the citizen who had just;

A little girl in the infant class of a Sun

Cheerfu’nesp.
I oneo heard a young lady say to an in
dividual, “Your countenance to me iff
liko the shining sun, for it always glad
dens me with a cheerful look." A rfferry
or cheerful countenance was one of tho
things which Jeremy Taylor said his ene
mies and persecutors could not take away
from him. There are some persons who
spend their time as if shut up in a dun
geon. Everything is gloomy and forbid
ding. They go mourning from day to
day, they have so little, and constantly
anxious lest what little they have should
escape through their hands. They always
look upon the dark side,and can never en
joy the good that is present for tho evil
that is to come. This is not Teligion. Re
ligion makes the heart cheerful, and when
its large and lx in volant, principles are ex
ercised, men will he happy in spite of
themselves. The industrious bee does
not stop to complain that there are so
many poisonous flowera and thorny
branches in the road, but buzzes on, pe
looting the honey where he can find it,
and passing quietly by the places where it
is not. There is enough in this world to
complain about and find fault with, if men
have the disposition. We often travel on
a hard and uneven road, but with a.eheer
ful spirit and a heart to praise God for his
mercies, we may walk therein in great
comfort, and come to the end ot our jour--
ney in peace.
Hard to Swallow.
Foreigners who come to this country
have generally heard tho praises of the
American oyster sounded long before tkair
advent, and are, as a rule, anxious test
its merits at the earliest possible moment.
They used to tell oi a Frenchman, who with
in an hour after landing, was seated in a
well known down town oyster saloon, witu
a dozen huge “saddle rock” before him.
By dissecting them with his knife a*ul
fork, he had managed to swallow two or
three of the smaller ones, when a native
came in, sealed himself oppisite him at
the table and attacked a dozen of par tier-
Inly large and fat oystors, American fne i -
ion. The Frenchman looked in astonish
ment as they disappeared one by one. and
leaning forward said hurriedly: “You
sobwallow them whole?” "Certainly, said
liis companion, making away with anoth
er large one. “And you schwallow keem
whole?” persisted the Frenoliman, point
ing to a mammoth specimen on his own
plate. "Certainly,” said the American,
“pass it over here. The plate was pushed
across the table, and the American,after a*
due application of lemon juice, took it
down at a gulp. “Mon Dieu! exclaimed
the Frenchman, “I never did see. I try
to schwallow keem one, two, three time;
every time I spirit heem back.” The feel
ings of the American need not be describ
ed.
A ileantiipl JExtract.
Ilave I given them up forover? Is all this
discipline, all this love of the mirsey, all
this sweet life upon the knee, all this night
and day in my bosom, as they lay sick
while they were Labes -is all this goine
forover? Sly boys- are they mine only as
they are everybody’s? Is there nothing that
my heart may claim in them? I doubt not
that we shall find our children there.
I do not believe that the heart has been
kindled to so much fear and sffering that
it may bo quenched with everlating for
getfuiness. This is my liberty. It is
not God’s revelation. It is my necctwity.
And I am not rebuked when I indulge
in such thoughts. My heart cnee ost to
those who have loved me and gone to the
heavenly land; and when I cry to them, I
hear a voice answering, as the spirit and
the Bride are represented as saying,
Gome!” At night, by day, at twilight, in
joy and in sorrow, I hear the voices of
loved ones saying, "Come! Over all troub--
les louder than the noise of these who;have
gone before me, saying, “Heaven is real;
God is real; love is eternal; come—from
out of storms, from out of sinland, come!”
There sound perpetually from the walls
and battlements of the Celestial City,
voices that win and woo every aching heart,
saying, "Come, coma, come - ’’
An official of the Philadelphia Mint says
that the demand for ec-nts is so great that
the orders cannot be, promply filled.
There are parts of the country,” he adds,
“where they are as rare as gold dollars are
here. In the south the cent is almost un
known, the smallest coin being a five-cent
piece. Recently, however, there has been
some demand for them from merchants in
Georgia and Alabama. In the far west
there js but little call for them, but when
one gets to St. Louis, or east,of,that point,
then the cent becomes familar. Wherever
there are six cent fares on the street CA B
there is a demand from that city. New,
Louisville seldom, if ever calls upon us,
while Cincinnati is continually crying for
the one cent piece. New York consumes
a big lot, and so do the Eastern states.
The two cent piece was a good help to us
for a time, but none of them have been
coined for ten years, and all that are re
deemed are recoined into one cent piece* r
Competition in trade increases the demand
for cents. Whenever retail trade is brisk
est, then the cent is needed most.”
A GOOD WoBD FOR THE JUDGES. - -It 18 a
wonder that Judges stand it as well as they
do. An experience of a few days listening
to the tlow of talk from lawyers and low

of the facWthat patience, gentle firmness,
and urbanity must be so ingrained in the
make-up of a Judge as to be at all times
subject to call, no matter what the provo

stuff that judges arc oblidged to listen to,
it is a wonder their brain does not occasion

gets considerable relief by variation and
absence of care when not on duty; even
the crier, although always at his post can

there must flit the Judge, with mind ever
