THE SUN FOR 1860.
Tho Sun M ill doal with tho events of tho year
1880 in its own fashion, now protty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem
ber 81, will bo conducted as a newspaper, written
in the English lauguago, and printed for the
people.
Ah a newspaper, Tiik Sun* believes in getting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting it
In tho most intclligablo shape—the. shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of the
ago with tho 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 ;.n income
which is at all times prepared to spend liberally
for the bencht oi its readers. People of all condi
tions of life and all wavs 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, Tite Sun be
lieves that the only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose. 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 uninilnenced by motives
that do not appear on tin surface; it has no opin
ions to sell, save those which may bo had by any
purchaser for two cents. It hates injustice and
rascality oven more than it hates unnecessary
words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and de
plores nincompoops of e very species. It will con
tinue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first class, 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 iruth
to its friends aud about its friends 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 1880 will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close liiH eyes to public af
fairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of tho political events which it has iu store,
or the*necessity of resolute vigilenco on the part
of ever3 r citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, tho utterances of tho press,
th i exciting contest of tho Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout tlio conn try, directly and effectively
upon tho twenty-fourth Presidential election, to
be held in November. Four years ago next Nov
ember the will of the nation, as expressed at tho
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspir
acy, and promoters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the officers they hold. Will the cmne of 1876
be repeated in 1880 ? Tho past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent
Administration intrenched at Washington. The
Sun did something toward dislodging tho 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 tho 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 iu great
things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights
of tho people and tho 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 subscrilions remained unchanged.
For tho Daily Sun, arfdur- paged sheet of twenty
eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, is
cents a month, or SO a year; or, including
the Sunday paper,'an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six

Nervous Depression.
Strango dotails of nervous depressions
could bo given by sufferers and those wlio
have recieved their confidence. A lady
assured us that she at one time used con
stantly to burry past a liigh wall or build
ing lest it should fall upon her. Another,
that sho would stand trembling with
her hand upoh her school room door,
summoning all her resolution to sustain her
in tho effort to go into give her pupils their
ordinary lessons. And the prospect of a
journey, even though short, lias been, most
formidable, indeed terrible, to persons
in this condition. Apprehensions of all
kiuds are common symptoms from ground
less alarms of robbers in the night t.o fore
bodings of every possible disaster to body
or mind. And thc-so are sometimes ac
companied by sensations or affections
which are merely physical, such as giddi
ness, nausea, trembling, or palpitation.
The victoms constantly complain that life
is a burden.
Now the first thing for nervous sufferers
to do is to accept two facta—first, that
their complaint is curable, and second,
that the chief part of tho euro rests with
themselves. If they “give way” and “give
up," they may live to smile at their past
troubles. First of all, there is very often
an undue strain upon tho system, which
ought to be lightened. We speak how of
workers. Tho human machine is a clock;
it requires weights to keep it going. But
in these days tlio weights are often too
heavy, and strain the machinery. In cas
es of nervous depression, they may need
to ho reduced by perhaps a tour or a short
trip, according to circumstances; a sea
breeze, a blow of mountain air, a glimpse
at the Rhine and Switzerland, and back
again to moderate work. If the occupa
tion followed bo unhealthy or too exciting
a change of pursuit may bo imperative.
But to release the sufferer from all duties
would be a cruel kindness; idleness is a
very hot-bed for morbid growths of every
kind. Residence, too, is a point not to bo
lost sight of; a low-lying, damp locality isof
coursejunfavorable. So is one wi tb gloomy
surrounding or associations. Tbo spring
is often a try ing season to those who are
not strong, and especially to sufferers from
nervous depression; they find their pain
ful sensations strangely aggrevated with
out any apparent cause, and are Sometimes
ready to conclude tlic worst. It is well for
them at such times remember the old saw,
Frightened is half killed, and to reassure
themselves by the simple fact that they’ '.are
but feeling acutely what others also feel,
though in a lesser degree. An unhealthy
or too sedentary occupation contributes to
nervous depression; and if not exchanged
for a better, should bo varied or relieved
as soon as possible.
There is constantly, indeed usually,
some weakness of digestion, requiring care
in the diet, for dyspepsia is often almost
solo origin, if not tho whole, of the com
plaint. The use of a suitable tonic is gen
erally desirable; often a very simple ono
is preferable—quinine and iron, or some
such mild aids to appetites assimilation.
Borne medical men prefer popsine and
similar preparations; others use strichnia,
phosphorous, zinc, and various formidable
drugs. Only whatever modicino is used
let it be prescribed by a qalfiod practition
er, and tho ablest you know. Abovo all,
no quacks. Fresh air, cold water and
plenty of exercise will do the nervously
depressed more good than physio. The
exerciso however, should not bo violent
and the cold water treatment should bo
modeiato anil rationalqplunges and other
shocks arc most undesirable. Sponging
and brisk washing and rubbing are in ev
ery way helpful.
Rules lor Living.
I am no doctor or pill vendor, yot I Lave
had a good long life and a happy one, May
I not, therefore, just give my simple rules
for health in tho hope that some traveler
on the up or down hill cl life may look at
them and ho benefit ted by them. I have
practiced them for many years and they
have done me good; they may do others'.
They are inexpensive and may bo easily
abandoned, if they cause any iraim.
I. Keep in the sunlight as much as
possible. A plant will not thrivo without
the sunbeam; much less a man.
11. lb eath as much fresh air as your
business will permit. This makes fresh
blood, but it will never be found in tbc
four walls walls of your building. Be
neath the open sky, just thero, and only
there, it comes to you.
IU Be strictly temperate. You cannot
break organic law, or any other law, with
impunity.
IV. Keop tho feet always warm and tho
Load cool. Disease and death begin
at tho feet more commonly than wc think.
V. Eat white bread when you cannot

An Atheist and the Globe. —The fa
mous astronomer, Athanasius Kirc-her,
having a friend who denied the exist* uco
of a Supreme Being, took the following
method to convince him of his error, up
on his own principles. Expecting him
upon a visit lie procured a very handsome
globe of the starry heavens, and placed it
in a comer of the room where it could not
escape his friends observation. The latter
seized the first occasion to ask whence it
came, and to whom it belonged. “Not to
me,” said Kircher, “nor was it made by
any person, but came hero by mere
chancel” “That,” replied his skeptical
friend, “is impossible. You surely jest.”
Kircher, however, seriously persisting iu
his assertion, took occasion to reason with
Lis friend upon his atheistic principle.
“You will not,” said he, “believe that this
small body originated in mere obance;
and yet you would contend that thoso
heavenly bodies of which it is only alaint
atnl small resemblance, came into exis
tence without order or design !” Pursuing
this chain of reasoning, his friend was at
first confounded, in the next place con
vinced, and ultimaily joined in a cordial
acknowledgement of the absurdity of de
nying Ij.o ca-.a cnee ol uuu.

Choosing Friends.
The real bond of frionshlp is sympathy,
congeniality of taste, a kinship of mind
or heart. What should it signify to A that
he has made a few hundred thousand dol
lars, more or less, whilo B, whom he thor
oughly likes, hasn’t Bared as many hun
dreds? That is usual form of inquiry.
On the other hand, why should B alter
his estimate of A because of tho circum
stances? Why should he feel envious or
ill at easo in his home, think one must se
lect his friends by the sum of their income?
What is it that wo love in onr friends,
themselves or their appendages? What
is it that we should respect in ourselves,
our personality or our bank account?
Neither riches nor the lack of them are to
bo thought of iu connection with real
companionship. And according to our
observation, a good part of unpleasantness
iu social distinctions based on wealth aris
es more from the lack of real self-respect
in tho men or women without money than
from pride in tho possessors of it. There
are men rated poor to whom it would novor
occur they were out of place in any assom
blypf refined and intelligent peoplo, howev
er great aggregate of wealth represented.,
Perhaps they were bom without instinct
of accumulation; perhaps they are lacking
tho enviable ability to take care of
themselves and their pockets at the same
time, and have chosen to build up them
selves rather than a fortune; perhaps, like
Agassiz, they have found “no time to
wako money,” or, like tho majority of mat
ter—their moods are sweot and amiable;
tlicir wit keen or their hujnor exeellent;
minds are bright, their hearts warm and
their manners fine. And as society is not
a placo for comparing inventories of prop
erty, they feel and appear quite at home.
We have known men ami women who
would have been bankrupted if they had
sold, even for a million dollars, that, ann
shino of their soul—the sincere, i nfectious
and radiant smile that distinguished them
and others, tlio sweet and rare fruits of
whoso spirit made their friends forget
whether they were rich or poor.
Robert Burns’ tho poet of the poeple,'
truly sang that—
“Thojrank is but tlio guinea's stamp.”

And it certainly is not conceit for the
gold to refuse to rate itsolf us lead, simply
because it lacks tire stamp. What Ameri
can society neods , aud what we think it
is gradully attaining, is a standard that
rates men for what they are, not for what
they have; a recognition of the right of
men to select their companionship as they
pleaso and can; and an independence of
spirit that makes a poor man alike superi
or to patronage and above envy.— Golden
Rule.
Gov. Seward’s Advice to Young Men.
Mr. Seward, in a letter to a young man,
just published for tho first time, said: I
am glad to know that you have got into
tho country. It is tho host place for young
men. Allow me to give you a word’of ad
vice. Just as soon as you can get out of
public employment into somo occupation
by which you can support yourself, do it,
and become an independent man. Sal
aries exhaust tho energies of all men, and
yory often corrupt them.
No great calamnity can befall a young
man than to begin lifo in a public oflico.
An easy clerkship, with a liberal salary,
oftenor injures than benefits the recipient.
Asa rule, it unfits a young man for tho
rougher work of life, and by taking him
away from the stimulating influence of
competition, prevents him from acquiring
the mental and physical fibro indisponsat
bio to success. ——* ’

these e y clerkships have come to be ra

dered either by the recipient or by their

During the two or four or six years ho

unfit him for storner service, and he is
obliged to take up tho throad of life where
ho dropped it to enter upon his coveted
clerkship, with fewer friends, less ambi

\ Philadelphia factory girl is thus de
scribed in the Sunday Mercury by a cor
u ‘poudont: Among the fresh and bloom
ing ! iris that at the time thronged tho
thoroughfare, was one more fresh and
blooming than the rest, a pert little pet, a
and licions little dame, as plump as a pullet,
and exceedingly pretty and captivating,
w th eyes that danced with mischief and
sparkled with intelligence; a pair of round;
ruddy, peachy checks, and tho prettiest,
juciest cherry-red lips that ever were kiss
oil; a little dimpled darling, with her hair
plastered in great fish-hooks all over her
forehead.
At a crowded French country theatre, a
woman fell from tho gallery to the pit,and
was picked up by oue of tho spectators,
who, hearing her groaning, asked her if
she was much injured. “Much injured I”
exclaimed the woman, "I should think I
am. I have lost the best seat in tho very
middle of the front row.”
And how is yo ur neighbor, Ylrs. Brown?”
inquired ono nicely-dressed lady of an
other, “She’s well enough I suppose. I
haven’t seen her to spook to her for six
weeks.” “Why, I thoufiht you two wore
on the most friendly terms.” “Well, we
used to be; but we’ve exchanged ser
vants. ”
“Nothing,” says Gob Forney, “so quick
