The Sun will deal with the events of the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem ber 31, will be conducted as a newspaper, written iu the’English language, and printed for the people. Asa newspaper, The Sun believes iu getting all the news of Lh** world promptly, and presenting it in the most inteliigable shape—the shape that will (‘liable its readers to keep well abreast *o the age with the least unproductive expenditure of time. The greatest interest to the greaiest num ber—that is, the law controlling its daily make-up. It now has a circulation much larger than any other American newspaper, and cujoys : u income which is ai all times prepared to spend liberally for the benefit ot its readers. People of all condi tions of lid* and all ways of thinking buy und read The Sun: and they all derive satisme ion of omo sort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments on men and affairs, Ttu: Sun be lieves that the only guide of policy should be •ornmon sense, inspired by genuine American principles and backed by honesty oi purpose. For the reason it is, and will continue to be, absolute ly independent of party, class, clique, organiza tion, or interest. It is lor all, but oi uouo. 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 .he posibdity of being misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by motives that do not appear on the surface; it has no opin ions to sell, save those whit h may be had by any purchaser for two cents, it hates injustice and rascality even more than it hates unnecessary words. It abhors lrauds, pities fools, and de plores nincompoops of every species. It will con tinue throughout the year b’-0 to chastise (he first cl iss. instruct i he second, and discountenance the third. All honest men with honest convic tions, whether sound or mistaken are its frieuds. And Thl Sun makes no bones of telling (lie truth to its friends and about its triends whenever occa sion arises for plain speaking. These are the principles upon which The Sun will be conducted iluring the year to come. The year Is o will be one iu which no patriotic American can afford to close his eyes to public af iairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor tance of the political events which it has iu store, or the uecessily of resolute vigilenee on ill© part of every citizen who desires to preserve Ihe Gov ernment that the founders gave. us. The debates and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press, :he exciting contest ot the Republican and Demo cratic parries, now nearly equal iu strength throughout tn* country, directly and effectively upon Hu* twenty-fourth Presidential election, to be held in N >vember. 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 1 To le repeated in 1S80? 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 ilc* people. Will they succeed V 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 und right. Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor iu looking at the minor affairs of life, and in great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of the people and the principles of the Constitu tion against all aggress* rs. Thk Sun i prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1880. Our rates of subscritions remained unchanged.

About tliree weeks during the heau tiful sunny wotitiior we have h.ul whioli in duced the trees to bml and bloom, I was walking in my garden one morning, think ing about preparing for an early start for spring vegetables, when I saw a large rat tlesnake sunning. My tirst impulse was to go to the house, get a gnu, and kill it. But looking around I saw a very large house cat cautiously creeping upon the reptile. Anticipating a tight, and etpnilv desirous of getting rivl of the cat, which killed chick ens, I concluded to witness his attack up on the snake. The cat crawled upon its stomach, pulling along on its feet, whisk ing its tail from side to side, and every now and then stretching its neck to view the snake. When about eight or ten feet off the snake suddenly coiled up, sprung its rattle, faced the cat aid darted its forked tongue out rapidly. The cat commenced a rapid circle around the snake, so fust iu fact that the eye could hardly keep up with it. At last it got near enough and made a dart at its enemy, but through providen tial r. usons it went high above the snake, which also struck at the cat thus break ing its coil. The cat went too far, and by the time it had turned to face its foe the reptile was again coiled and ready for the attack. The same method was carried on for four or live times, occupying at least half an hour. The cat wished to catch the snake, hut seemed aware that if it missed the neck it would be certain death. At the sixth assault they met, and instantly the snake was wrapped in several folds around the body of the cat, which used its sharp claws with deadly effect. The cat had been bitten on he head and neck several times, and both continued to tight. The snake was torn nearly to shreds, but did not unloose its coil around its victim. The poison was swift and deadly, but be fore the cat died it caught the snake’s head m its mouth and crushed it, and lighting they died, the snake enwraping the cat in its coils. The snake measured 4 feet 8 inches, and had thirteen rattles.- Ameri cus Republican. Wedded Love—A Puttiedic Incident. “Make the bed easy, Mr. B,” said old Uncle Abe to the undertaker, who was preparing the coffin for liis aged wife. “Make the bed solt and easy, for her old bones are tender and soft, and a hard bed will hurt them.” He forgot for a moment — that old graj-haired;man that she was dead; that the old bones bad done aching forever. Sixty-four years had she walked by his side a true and loving wife—Sixty four years ! Just think of it iu this age of divorce. Sixty-four years had they dwelt under the sorrows of life; together mourn ed over the collin of their lirst-born; to gether rejoiced in the prosperity of their sons an.l daughters, and now she has left him alone. No wonder lie forgot. Her loving hands had so long cared for him, for be bad been the feebler of the two. “Untildeath do us part,"said the marriage service that had united them so many years ugo. Death had parted them, but the love still survived. Tenderly had he cared for her all these years and now tender ly did he watch the making of the last bed of liis still loved wife. He had bravely breast ed the storm of life with her by his side, but now that she had gone be could not live, and in a few days t o;. laid him by her side. New Orleans i . ayune. Miracle Through Prayer The city of Buffalo, New York, is greatly excite ! over tbe marvellous recovery to health of Mies Carrie F. Judd, alter being confined to her bed for two years from the effects of an injury to her spine, caused by a fall. The cure is attributed to the effects of prayer. The patient liad been j u charge of several physicians, who were unable to effect any r- lief, though two thousand dol lars were :A]n tided. Application was at last made to Mrs. Edward .Mix, a colored woman of Wolrottsville, Conn., who Lad been instrumental iu effecting many won derful cures. Without seeing the patient she advised abandoning all medicine and trust alone in power of prayer. She ap pointed a certain time for commencement of this new treatment, and presided at n prayer meeting of females, when the c s. was made a subject of prayer. I ' - w:.s done, and before half an hour had elapsed the patient turned over an l raised herself ! up, and with assistance walked a short. . distance. In four weeks from that line . she was able to walk down stalls. Sc) now walks long distances, teachers her ; class in Sunday school aud looks better | than ever before in her life. Recently | she traveled forty miles to attend the ! marriage ot her brother. Thdh'l'e to a Mother. Children, look in t.-osc ey> , listen to that dear voice, no tice the feeling of even a single touch that is b stowed upon you by her gentle hand ! Make much of it while you have that most j pri cions of all gifts, a loving mother. Read the unfathomable love of those eyes: ! the kind anxiety of that tone and look, however slight your pain. In after life you may have friends— fond, dear friends but never will you have again the inex pressible love and gentless lavished upon you, which none but a mother b stows. Often do 1 sigh in my struggles with the dark, uncaring world, for the sweet, deep security I felt, when, of an e\ einirg, nestling in Li r bosom, 1 listened to some quiet tale suitable to my age, read in her tender and untirrng voice. Never can I forget her sweet glance cast upon me when I appear ed asleep; never her kiss of peace at night. Years have passed away since we laid her beside my father in the churchyard, and still her voice whispers from the grave, and her eye watches over me, as I visit spots longs since hallowed to the meniory of my mother. “Some things,” said an excited politician, “can be foreseen und foretold; and now 1 foresee and 1 will now foretell that the day will soon come when our liberties will be no more. This is ascertain, my fellow citizens, and it is as sure, us that Romeo founded Rome. A Boston preacher said: The little good any of us can do must he done with our hearts thumping against the hearts of our b How-men. And every young woman in church looked at every other young wo man, and smiled approvingly.

We have seen them, remarks a writer, in the first throes of their bereavement, when they utterly re fus'd to be comforted, declaring that their iMj s ail lay buried with their tirst and only loses in the new made grave of their if ar ‘bq>are.i; and their streaming eyes b; hind mourning veils have cause the sympathetic sob to well up from the bos oms of nil who listened, lint, as time wore on, we nave ohm rved with satisfaction — for we would not have them weep always— tha! comfort invaribly comes to the young widow's heart, and that hope is restored to her troubled mind. We were called upon some tim • ago to attend-the funeral of a young and noble fellow who left a pretty widow to mourn his untimely taking off. M,he sal by the side of her unconscious love, dressed in tliQ most somber, hut at the same time most becoming mourning witii hi r lovely hair arranged with imiuite labor . nd care in glossy linger puds all ovt r her shapely h< ad, and her black bor dired handkerchief went ever and anon to her streaming eyes. Occasionally she talked m tones soft, tremulous and to ina nimate clay that was soon to bo hidden a ay forever, telling him her heart would always throb for hiiu alone, and what a dr ary blank the world would ever be with out his pre cnee. fhcu, ia despair, she besought the undertaker to let the lriends till (be earring- and drive away,leaving her her dearly beloved with her. But funeral went on in the usual way and the fair mourn er returned to her stricken home crush ed and disconsolate. But, thanks to the soothing hand of Time, ore her widow’s weeds had grown the worse for wear, or her spotless cap had become mussed or soiled, she rallied sufficiently to marry the dear friend of her late departed; and her loving heart now reposes on the bosom of another. How fortunate it is that their young, crushed affections have such a wonderful elasticity, as soon as a de sirable provocation presents itself. Pity ia akin to love, and the former sontiment awakens kind sympathy for the fair mourner that quickly ripens into a tender ness that soothes her young heart into a sweet forgetfullness, and makes life around her look bright once more. She becomes the pet of society, a pleasant com panion, a charming sweetheart, and a dan gerous rival; and we pity the girl that has to battle against her. We have seen young widows of but ordinary attractions carry off the palm from wealth, intellect and beauty combined, and wonder them selves at their own success. Even after the lirst season of their sorrow is over, and they have ceased to excite sympathy any more, their ripeness and tact make man an easy and willing victim to their subtle eiiarn s. Their best experience, their tu tored hearts, and the aching void of their late loneliness give to their manner that vase, grace and naturalness that is women’s chief charm and makes the young widow the envy of women and admiration of men.— Ex. Killed at the Marriage Alter. — In the midst oi the great events of the war, such incidents as the following wero compara tively unnoticed, and left to be long after ward related in print : Miss Annie Pickens, daughter of the Governor of South Caroli na, was to be married April 22, 18C3, in Charleston, to Lieutenant Andrew de itochi lie. The wedding party waß as s’ rubied in the Pickens residence, and the clergy man was asking the bride if the was r. y, win u a shell from a Union gun in harbor brok - into the room and burst. Nine persons were hurt, but only Mias Picken’s wound proved fatal. She boretho pain with wonderful fortitude,and was un mo- I when informed that she had only an hoar or two to live. Ue Itoclielle said that ho woul 1 like her to have her ~o bis wife, and tin poor girl smiled sad ly in assent. The guest remembered the ue nc as far more pitiful than they can describe. The bride lay on the so ia her dre -ed dabled in blood and her hair dishevelled bile her pallid lace was so . ;ing with agony that her efforts to smile became futile. The ceremony was hur e !i. performed, though the bride’s ‘•Vi s' was in a faint, labored whisper, and fu r li s har.lly moved in response to her ' sban 1 kiss, She died immediately af ' Eldei i- inett os Newspapers.— When -James Gordon Bennett was run ning the N ” York Herald the paper con i u and live coluiuus to the page, or one column hhh than t;ie Daily Pest.

Nothing presents a sad der commentary upon the present condi tion of • m-h ty than the large number of families, both in town and country, but more especially the Litter, that subscribe to no pa rof any kind. Hundreds and thousands of families are thus growing up utterly ignorant of what is transpiring in the world around them—ignorant of the mighty e vents of the day. 15ut who can tell he vast amount of injury that is being indicted on the rising generation—those who are to take our places in the busy world at no far future day—growing up without any knowledge of the present or the past; this ignorance, too, being imbu ed into them by the sanction of those who should, and doubtless do, know better, did they only think of the injuries effects of their in ar.e course.
