THE SUN FOR 1880.
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 in getting 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
tor the benefit ol its readers. People of all condi
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read
The Sun; and they all derive satisfaction of some
sort from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun be
lieves that tbe only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose. For
the reason it is, aud will continue to bo, 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 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
first cliss, instruct the second, and discountenance
the third. All honest men with honest convic
tions, whether sound or mistaken are itc- friends.
And The Sun makes no bones of telling the truth
to its friends and about iis triends wl/enever occa
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close bis eyes to public af
fairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it lias in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilence on the part
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that tbe founders gave us. The debates
aud 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
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)
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 ? 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 the principles of the Constitu
tion against all aggressors, The Sun is prepared to
write a truthful, instructive, aud at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.

Advice to a Young Man.
Did you over sit down, Telemackus, and
contemplate for an hour or two the beauty
of silence? You will appreciate its beauty
and its blessing my son, as you grow older.
Some time when you want to think and
the bore wlio is with you wants to talk;
some time when your ears have been din
ned into partial paralysis by the man who
always will talk to you in the railroad ear;
some time when a man has been talking
politics to you when he knows you hate
politics; some time when he has been tel
ling you all about himself or trying to find
out all about yourself, then you will know
my son, how beautiful is silence. How
like a benison it comes to soothe your
ruffled spirit, fall on your tortured soul soft
ly as the twilight shadows,you love her with
a love that is adoration, on the altars of your
grateful heart you burn before her noise
less shrine the voiceless incense of your
worship. All through your life, my boy,
cultivate silence. Now and then an hour
of contemplation is worth a week of talk.
The friend you love is all the dearer to
you when you sitand hold his hand(if that
be his gender, my son,) and can say noth
ing to him. When you meet a stranger,
my son, who can talk eleven hours a day,
avoid him if you can, and don’t shoot him
if you can possibly get rid of him by any
lawful means.
And, one parting word, Telemachns,
don't talk to a man in a railroad car. He
is never, at least rarely, thankful to you.
llailway conversation is always tiresome,
the listener has to strain his ear to hear,
the speaker has to strain his voice to speak;
if you speak too loud everybody can bear
you; if Speak too low, you can't bear each
other. Never talk to people on the train,
strangers or friends, unless you have some
thing to say, and then say it and close
your shell. Don’t, don’t, don’t talk in the
mere effort to pass away the time. You
will only make the hours infinitely heav
ier. Of course, circumstances and the
people you meet, their habits and varying
dispositions, will show you when and
where to make liberal exceptions to these
rules, but don’t talk. Never, never talk
on the train to the man who doesn’t want
to talk, and only keeps up his part of the
conversation from Courtesy. Aud if you
can’t tell when a man doesn’t really want
to talk with you, my son, you had better
get a position as teacher in some asylum
fertile deaf and dumb, and learn to lose
your voice entirely as fast as you can.
The Reliable .Man. —The reliable man
is a man of good judgement. He does
not jump at conclusions. Ho is not a
frivolous man. He is thoughtful. He
turns over a subject in his mind and looks
at it all around. Ho is not a partial or
one-sided man. He sees through a thing.
He is apt to he a very reticent man. lie
does not have to talk a great deal. He is
a moderate man not only in habits of body
but also in mind. He is not a passionate
man; if so by nature, he has overcome it.
He is a sincere man, not a plotter or schem
er. What he says may be relied on. He
is a trustworthy’ man. You feel safe with
your property or administration of affairs
in his hands. He is a brave man,for his con
clusions are logically deduced from the
sure basis of truth, and he does not fear
to maintain them. He is a good man, for
no one can be thoroughly honest and
truthful without being good.
Where Painter’s Don’t Go-
A printer doesn't rush to a doctor every
time he is out of “sorts.”
Nor to a baker when he gets out of
“pi”
Nor to hell when he wants the “devil.
Nor to a wood-pile when ho wants a
“stick."
Nor to the Bible when he wants a “good
rule.”
Nor to a gun-shop when he wants a
“scooting stick.”
Nor to a cabinet shop when he wants
“furniture.”
Nor to a bank when he wants “quoins.”
Nor to his girl when he wants to “go to
press.”
Nor to a lawyer when he has a “dirty
case. -
Nor to a butcher when he wants “fat.”
Nor to an old cheese when he wants
“live matter.”
Nor to a pump when ho is thirsty and
has five cents in his pocket.
Beauty. There is something in beauty
whether it dwells in the human face, in
the penciled leaves of flowers, the spark
ling surface of a fountain, or that aspect
winch genius breathes over its statue, that
makes us mourn its ruin. I should not
envy that man his feelings who could see
a leaf wither or a flower fall without some
sentiment of regret. This interest in the
beauty and frailry of things around us, is
only a slight tribute of becoming grief
and affection; for nature in our adversities
never deserts us. She even comes more
nearly to us in our sorrows, and, leading
us away from the paths of dssappointment
and pain into her soothing recess, allays
the anguish of our bleeding hearts, binds
up the wounds that have been inflicted,
whispers the meek pledges of a better hope,
ami, in harmony with a spirit of still holi
er birth, points to that home where decay
and death can never come.
Peeking Into the Future.— A scientific
lecturer startled l>ij audience the other
evening by exclaiming: “Let us look for
ward 5,000 years, and what do we see?"
They thought he would say:“\Vliy, we see
the same old jokes on Lent going the rounds
of the press, we see Washington’s monu
ment unfinished, and the Hayden trial
drawing to a close; we see Halan and
Courtney still wrangling over their foth
coming rowing match, and Susan B. An
thony trying to [ass herself off for a young
girl of thirty-five years.” But he didn’t.
He said lie saw some changes in moon and
planets and things. Only that and noth
ing more.
Advice to Girls. Girls beware of tran

is worth more than all the floating trash j
in the world the allurements of a human
dandy jack with a gold chain around his
neck,'a walking stick in his paw, some
honest tailor's coat on his brainless though

Boys Smoking.
When boys are advised not to smoke on
hygienic grounds, tliey laugh at the advice
and speak of its givers as oid fogies. But
careful experiments lately made by ft phy
sician of repute, prove that the practice is
very injurious. He took for his purpose
thirty-eight boys, from nine to fifteen, who
had been in the habit of smoking, and ex
amined them closely. In twenty-seven he
found obvious hurtful effects; twenty-two
having various disorders of the circulation
and digestion, palpitation of the heart,
and more or less craving for strong drink;
twelve of the boys were frequently troubled
with bleeding at the noseften had disturn
ed sleep; twelve had slight ulceration of
the mucous membrane of the mouth, which
disappeared after discontinuation of to
bacco for ten or twelve days. The physi
cian treated them all for weakness and
nervousness, though with little avail, un
til they had relinquished smoking, when
health and strength were speedily restor
ed. Even if it be granted that smoking
is not harmful to adults, there is no doubt
to its harmfulness to the young. Dr. Han
king, Dr. Richardson and others, who
have made a special study of the subject,
all agree in declaring that it causes in them
impairment of growth, nervous derange
ment, and physical degragation. One of
the worst effects is the provocation of an
appetite for liquor, which indeed, is not
confined to the young, but which grown
personsare better able to manage. Where
boys drink to excess,they are alinot iuvari
bly smokers, and it is very rare to find a
man over fond of spirits who is not addic
ted to tobacco. Men who want to give up
drinking usually have to give up smoking
at the same time; for they say that a cigar
or a pipe, generally excites a desire for
liquor very hard to contol.
A Lcson For Young Men.
Young men, if you contemplate a busi
ness career, you cannot look after your
habits too carefully. Your aim in life
is to be successful in all undertakings,and
you can never be successful with bad hab
its. Matters which seem of small amount
to you now may become in future the turn
ing pain in your career, either up or down
as they have that of any man before you.
in illustration of this we print the following
anecdote, as related in one of the most
prominent New York dailies:
“Horace li. Wallin, the most prominent
and wealthy drj goods merchant of New
York, was alone in his office one afternoon
when a young man, pale and careworn,,
timidly knocked and entered. “Mr. Claf
lin,”said he, “I have been unable to meet
certain payments because parties failed to
do by me as they agreed to do, and I
would like to have SIO,OOO. I come to you,
because you have been a friend to my fa
ther, and might be a friend to me.”
“Come iln,” said Claflin, “come in and
have a glass of wine.” “No,” said the
young man, “I don’t drink.” "Have a ci
gar, then?” No—l never smoke.” “Well,”
said the joker, “I would like to accommo
date you, but I don’t think I can.” “Yery
well,” said the young man, as he wus
about to leave the room. “I thought per
haps you might good day, sir. "Hold
on” said Mr. Claftlin, “you don’t drink ?”
“No.” Nor smoke, nor gamble, nor any
thing of the kind?”
“No, sir.”
Well, said Mr. Claflin, with tears in his
eyes, “you shall have it, and three times
the amount if you wish. Your father let
me have $5,0U0 once and asked me the
same questions. No thanks —I owe it to
you for your father’s sake.”'
Marriage. —The fountain of every good
government is the family. The best and
most prosperous country is that which has
the greatest number of happy firesides.
The holiest- institution among men is
marriage. It has taken the rate countlesß
ages to come up to the condition of mar
riage. Without it there would be no civili
zation, no human advancement, no lifs
worth living for. Life is a failure to any
woman who has not secured the love and
adoration of some great and magnificent
man. Life is a mockery to any man, no
matter whether he be mendicant or mon
arch, who has not won the heart of some
worthy woman. Without love and mar
riage, all the priceless joys of this life
would be as ashes on the children of men.
“You had better be the emperor of one
loving and tender heart, and she the em
press of yours, than to be the king of the
world. The man who has really won the
love of one good woman in this world, it
matters not though he die in the ditch a
beggar, his life has been a success.”
There is a heathen book which saysf
“Man is strength, woman is beauty; man is
courage, woman is love.” When the one
man loves the one woman, and the one
woman loves that one man, the very an
gels leave heaven and come and sit in that
house and sing for joy.
A Butterfly’s Moral.— A boy, on per
ceiving a beautiful butterfly, was so smit
t n with its gaudy colors, that he pursued
it from flower to flower with indefatigable,
zeal; at first he attempted to surprise it
among the leaves of a rose; then he en
d< vored to cover it with his hat as it was
■ ling on a daisy; now he hoped to se
cure it ns it revelled on a sprig of myrtle;
and now grew sure his prize on perceiving
it to loiter on a bed of violets; but fickle
fly still eluded his attempts. At ob
-rvingit half-buried in the cup of a tulip
rushed forward, and, snatching at the ob
ject of his persuit with violence, it was
crushed to pieces. The dying insect, per
ceiving the boy chagrined at his disap
pointment, addressed him with the ut
most calmness in the following words:
“Bciiold, now, the end of thy unprofitable
solitude: and learn, for the benefit of thy
future life, that pleasure, like a painted
but; fly, may serve to amuse me in the pur
suit; but, if embraced with too much ar
dor, will perish in thy grasp*’
A well-known Bostonian was trying a
horse one doy, in company with the own
er, a professional “jock.” Having driven
him a mile or two, the gentleman who no
ticed that he pulled pretty hard and show
ed a good deal of spirit, requiring constant
watching and a steady rein, said, “Do you
think that is just the horse for a woman to
i drive? “Well, sir,” answered the jockey,
j • I must Say t! it I shouldn't want to ma>
;ry tlie woman that could drive that horse.”
