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. For the Daily Sen, a four-paged sheet ot twenty eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, is T%~ cents a month, or #■< ,*0 a year: or, includin the Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fif‘y-si.< columns,the price is ({5 cents a month, or ffi'J "i* a year, postage paid.

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.” Oncc a fit ih‘, Now a Beggar. The once most beautiful woman of Ar kansas is now a beggar. >Slb is the (laugh er of haruly Faulkner, the “Arkansas ■ rav h r.” She has been married several tinf's, and is notv known as Mrs. Trapnell la tie old days of days of Arkansas aristoc racy, when the rich planters and tie not; note gathered at the Ashley mansion, Miss j F.dilkiii r \v ;s the belle, j-et'.ed, flattered 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.

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.

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. A Cleveland lawyer, defending a hand- young lady charged with larceny, closed his appeal to the jury thus: “Gen tlemen, you may hang the ocean on a grapevine to dry, lasso tin avalanche, pin a napkin to the month of a volcano, skim the clouds from the sky with a teaspoon, throw salt on the tail o'four noble Ameri can eagle, whose sleepless eye watches over the welfare of the nation, paste‘for rent’ !on tk moon and stars, but nevurfora mo ment delude yourselves with that this charming girl is guilty of thecbnrge p 0 ley i.;a:nst : fc .rj aequtted Lon 1 without leaving their seats.
