THE SUN FOR 1830.
The Sun will deal with the events ol‘ the year
1880 in its owu fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem
ber 31, will be conducted as a newspaper, wriiteu
in the English language, and printed for the
people.
Asa newspaper,Tut: Sun believes m getting alt
the news of the world promptly, and presenting ii
in the most inrelligable shape—the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of the
age with the least unproductive expenditure ot
time. The greatest interest to the greatest num
ber—that is, the law controlling its daily make-up.
It now lets 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 ot its readers. People of all condi
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read
The Sun; and they all derive satistaciiou of some
sort from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In
lieves that the only guide ot policy should be
common sens *, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty ot purpose. For
1 lie 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 lias no opin
ions to sell, save those which may be hail by any
purchaser lor 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 lh.- () to chastise the
first cl iss, instruct the second, and discountenance
the third. All honest men with honest convic
tions, whether sound or mistaken are its friends.
And The Sen makes no bones of telling I lie truth
to its friends and about iis lriends whenever occa
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year lssO will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to dose his eyes to public a;-
fairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it has in store,
or the necessity ot 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 ot the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the conutry, directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, t.>
be held in 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 187f<
Im* repeated in 1380 V 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 oi the people. Will they succeed V The
coming year will bring the answer to these mo
mentor- questions: The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the nu is 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 gr*;v
things a steadfast purpose to maintain the right
of the people and the principles of the Constitu
tion against all aggressors, The Si n i- prepared t
write a truthful, instructive, and at the same tine
entertaining history of 1880.
Our rates of subserilions remained unchanged.

s< rv uvoand patriotic front th. standpoint
of tit l n.on, and at the same time receive
the apj ro\td oi the better portion of the
Southern press: “lliia g< ntleman, the
brilliant representative of the Ninth Dis
trict, has begun a Congressional career
which we confidently expect to see crown
ed with the highest distinction for him
self and great honor for his State. While
the pages of Georgia’s history already
shine 7 with the names ol many illustrious
sons who, by their exalted gifts and broad
statesmanship have made for themselves
world-wide r< potations, we believe anoth
er has been added to the long list, which
will not softer by the contrast. Mr. Speer
is eminently adapted to the duties of public
life. Entering Congress at 30 years of age
after one of the most brilliant campaigns
in the history of the State, winning liis
election by his wonderful powers of popu
lar oratory, he lias already demonstrated
his fitness ior the position he holds made
himself felt in the legislation of the nation
~nd proven himself worthy of the support
of his people. While we are organized in
our politics, we have always, we trust, had
that fairness and breadth ol view which
would cause to recognize true merit, and
to uphold whatever we believed for the
good as well as the glory of our Common
wealth. We utterly despise the method
adopted by the press in many localities of
villifying every opponent, whether of
platiorm or contest. Mr. Speer has had
courage to put himself on the side of
moral legislation. He has been ridiculed
throughout the country as the author
of the ‘Brass Band bill,’ but, Judge O. A.
Loehrane to the contrary notwitlistanding,
lie has strengthened himself among the
people of liis district, and has to-day the
grateful recognition by every good man of
the South of his attempt to stay the tide
of Sabbath desecration sweeping over the
land. There is a moral principle in the bill
which goes to the extent of the power of
Congress on this question, that is vital to
our properity as a Christian nation. For
our part we are glad that Georgia’s name
will be connected in the developments of
ttie great future with this effort to secure
the recognition of the sacred ness of God’s
holy day. Mr. Speer has also taken a
broad, statesman-like view of the admin
istration of our Government. flis speech
against ’riders on appropriation bills’ was
W bsteriau in character, and we hope
prophetic of a return of the high plane
legislation of the old days. The South is
in the Union to stay. We are one people,
i bis conviction is being rapidly spread
throughout the North, and the party of
the future must stand, not on sectional is
sues, but upon tiios” that in volve the ingh
est good of the whole country. We give
Mr. Speer the hand of our encouragement
in the work lie has begun, and look with
interest up n his future career.”

and admired by every one. Her wardrobe
came from Paris and her lovers from every
where. A slave to tly <b mends of gayety
and conquest, she was haughty, and con
sidered heartless. Her sway for years was
undisputed, and when her financial de- j
cline came she would not recognize a fact ]
which seemed tobersopreposterious. She
married, but her husband did not
prove to be wealthy. From this husband,
if I am correctly informed, she was divorc
ed. She was still beautiful, and though
divorced from her husband, she was still
inseparably wedded to society. But the
bright star of her life had begun to grow
dim. Her father died and lift her with
comparatively nothing. Still she had of
fers of marriage, but site disdained them
on tinaneial grounds. On one occasion a \
large party was forming to visit the New !
Orleans Mradi Grass festivities. She wns j
unable to meet the necessary expenses. A j
genth-man who heard her express herself, j
and with whom she was scarcely acquaint-!
ed, remarked to her: “If you will marry I
me I will take you to New Orleans.” “1
will,” she exclaimed, and they were mar-1
ried. This husband, 1 think, died short
ly afterward. Some time after this she met
with an accident. While riding in a buggy
the horse ran away. She wob thrown out and
sustained the injury of a broken leg. This
might not have proved so serious had she
not disobeyed the injunctions of physi
cians and disregarded the advice of
friends. Slie insisted upon receiving vis
itors, and would sit all day and half the
night, proped up in bed, laughing and j
ti iking in her gayest humor. Her rest- j
lessness at last rendered amputation nec- !
ssary. 1 met her to-day. She lias just |
been turned out of a house for failing to
pay rent. A more forlorn looking woman '
never lived. She had been out begging, !
and limping along, she carried a basket.
>he is quite oi l and her hair is as white
as the record of St. John. You can tell in
a moment that she has bien beautiful, for
her mouth, pearly teeth, her eyes and
magnificent brow all declare that they
were once organized into a convention of
beauty with a rich suit of hair as the chair
man. Courier-luornal.
“No man shall ever kiss me except my
future husband,” she said, as he was about
l-aving her at the gate. “Suppose I agree
to be your future ?” “Why, then,
111 agree to kiss you,” she said, eagerly;
an 1 she did. Her mother was informed
that he had proposed, and the old lady
called round next day to fasten matters,
and before he knew it he was eternally
booked. It was a mean advantage, but a
bird in the band is worth two on the front

Successful Roys.
Who ar/i the boys that succeed in the
world? This, my young friends, is a very
important question for you to answer.
Shall I answer it for you? As you and I are
strangers, let me say, I have had thousands
>f boys under my care as a teacher, and
that 1 know who succeeded in all the no
bler walks of life. I have watched these
successful hoys in the school room, in the
store, in college, on the farm—everywhere.
One trait of character is possessed by all
of them in a greater or less degree, viz:
they all have great powers of concentration.
Whatever they do they do with all their
might. Is a lesson to be learned, they
bring all the powers of their mind to the
task until it is mastered. They do not al
low their minds to wander off, now upon
this subject, and then upon that; but,
with an iron will and an unconquerable
determination, they give the task to be per
formed, whether of the head or the hand,
undivided and close attention till the
work is done. This power of concentra
tion is the secret of one scholar’s success
over another in the same class. How
you study is of far great importance than
what or how much you study.
1 have in my mind now several of my
old scholars who are eminent as lawyers,
physicians, ministers of the gospel, civil en
gineers, builders, merchants and farmers,
all of whom were noted in school for their
undivided and close attention to whatever
was to be done, either at their desks in
preparing their lessons, or in the class
room at recitation.
1 remember one of these boys in partic
ular, although it is nearly thirty years
since ho was student in my school. I can
see him now at his desk, working tit a dif
ficult problem in algebra or arithmetic, or
Greek. It mattered not what the study
was, he always entered upon it with the
same resolute determination to make it in
the least possible time. He seemed to
bring his whole body, as well as the pow
rs of bis mind lotlie accomplishing of bis
task.
Now bo would extend one leg, and then ’
the other; now‘run ltis lingers through his
hair, and then perhaps twist bis nose, bis
eyes meanwhile intensely fixed upon his
book, and he saw nothing, until that les
son was thoroughly prepared andit was
thoroughly prepared. He never failed at
recitation. That boy has been for several
years one of the most prominent judges in
this country, and one of the most eminent
of the governors of New Jersey.
Boys, if you wish to make ypttr mark in
the world, tor all that is noble and good,
strive to gain the mastery over both your
mind and your body. Learn to put your
whole mind to the work in hand, and my
word for it, you will succeed.
Your Own Inclination. —In choosing an
occupation for life, follow your own incli
nations, it possible. If a boy is intent on
being a preacher, a lawyer, a doctor, or a
merchant, it is useless to attempt to make
a farmer of him. Let him go. The in
stincts of his nature teach him his position
in life.. A close view of the world, howev
er, will soon convince any one that many
have mistaken their calling. No matter
for that. The man who has failed in his
first love would not have been happy had
he been thwarted by others early in bis
choice. To i.im la.ior would have been a
burden, and life a servitude. Consult
tenderly with the promising boy set be
fore him, but not in too highly colored
I ieturts, the advantages an t objections to
the various voeahoiis.nl lit. ; iiu-u let him
earetuily select liis caoice. But impress
upon him the importance of living honest
ly, industriously, but to aim higher,
with it determination to rise above all
competitors in the quality of hits work un.i
Hi the integrity, rectitude an 1 virtue o
his life. Having done so much, leave the:
rest to him.
The Effects of Impatience. -Nothing
more incapacitates a man for the lead than
impatience. No constitutionally impa
tient mat), who indulged his tendency, ev
er gets to the bottom of things, or knows
with any nicety the standing disposition
and circumstances of the people amongst
whom he is thrown. Certain salient
points he is possessed of, but not what
reconciles and accounts for them. Some
thing in him an obtrusive self, or train
of thought, or liking and antipathies—
will always come between him end an im
partial judgment. Neither does he win
confidence tor he checks the coy, uncer
tain advances which are the precursors of
it. We doubt if a thoroughly impatient
man can read the heart or be a fair critic,
or understand the rights of any knotty
question, or make himself master of any
difficult situation. The power of waiting,
deliberating, hanging in suspense, is nec
essary for these—the power of staving off
for considerable periods of time merely'per
sonal leadings.
Begin at Home.— Why do you begin to
do good so far off? This is a ruling error.
Begin at the centre, and work out
ward. If you do not love your wife, do
not pretend to such love for the people of
the antipodes. If you* let some family
grudge, some peccadillo, some undesirable
gesture, sour your visage toward a sister or
daughter, pray cease to teach beneficene on
a large scale. Begin not at the next door, but
within your own door, then with your next
neighbor, whether relative, servant, or su
perior. Account the man you meet the man
you are to bless. Give him such things as
you have. “How can I make him or her
happier?” This is the question. Ifa doller
will do it give a dollar, if advice will doit,
give advice; if a look, a smile, or a pres
sure of the hand, or tear will do it, give
the look, smile, hand, or tear; but never
forget that the happiness of our world is a
mountain of golden sand, and that it is
your part to cast some contributory atom
every moment.
