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 columns,the price is <£S cents a month, or *|o a year, postage paid.

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 get brown bread. VI. If out of order see which of the above rules you have not observed, then rub yourself all over with a towel satura ted with salt w ater, and well dried and begin upon tho rules again. “VII. Look over on the bright side, which is tho heaven of life. This is far better than medicine. These seven simple rules good for the valid or invalid, if rightly observed, would save, 1 appehend, a deal of pain, prole '■% life, and so far as health goes, make it worth saving 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. $2.50 A YEAR. 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.” Tho man’s a gowd for a’ that 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. ——* ’ And these coveted po*jti ons aro all tho rnoro pernicious bocnfi ao tlluv aro so often merely it would not be so badjljiig-young man who begins life in a nit' '’.ire p. nuitf. i to stay there.
