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. For the Daily Sun, a four-paged sheet oi twenty eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, i- SS cents a month, or 50 a year; or. including the Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six columns,the price is (15 cents a month, or Jfi 7it a vear, postage paid.

For clubs of ten sending we will send an extra copy free. Address I. W. ENGLAND, Publisher of The Bun, New York City. 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. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.

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. —Religious Herald. 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 oil town that at a political meeting one of the prominent members went out the side door for a few moments just asan, referting to the death of a noted citizen, suit!; Thus another great man is goue . where, oh! whine shall we find one who shall fill his place? Supposing the speaker had reference to the citizen who had just; stepded out, a man on the back seat said Oli! don,t worry; She’s just gone fora drink. A little girl in the infant class of a Sun day school thorougly appreciated the dif ference between being good from choice and from necessity. At the close of the school one day, the teacher remarked: “Reekie dear, you have been a vesy good little girl to-day.” "Yes, ’m. I couldn.t help being good; I got a tiff neck."Reekie | replied, with perfect seriousness. The life that is devoted to knowledge j passes silently away, and is very little di- j | verted by events. To talk in public, to ! think in solitude, to read and to hear, to in- I quire and to answer inquiries, is the busi ness of a scholar. lie wanders about the j world without pomp or terror, neither known nor valued hut by nei like bin - 1 E . If. $2.50 A YE Ali - 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 voiced witnesses will speedily convince one 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 cation. In the midst of so much trash and stuff that judges arc oblidged to listen to, it is a wonder their brain does not occasion ally get off the belt. A lawyer or juryman gets considerable relief by variation and absence of care when not on duty; even the crier, although always at his post can o< •eusionally go to sleep, while the gentle men who weild the staves are like wise subject, to the spice of some variety; but there must flit the Judge, with mind ever on the alert, while at the same time a great deal of the matter he by courtesy listens to must be as nauseating as a cathartic pill, un-sugar coated, A Judge fairly earns i.ll the honors and pay his services birng ! to the "When the dentists of this country can discover a way to pull teeth without mak ing a man wish he had been a hen, Ufa ‘ will have twice as much happiness.
