THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1384.
About plxty millions copies of the Sun have gone
out of our establishment (luring the past twelve
months.
if you were to paste end to end all the columna of all
The Sun's printed aud sold last year you would get a
continuous strip of in ten-ting information, common
sense, wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane wit long
enough to reach from Printing House square to the
toj> of Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quarters of the
way back to the moon again.
But the Suu is written for the inhabitants of the
earth ; this same strip of intelligence would girdle the
globe twenty-seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of the Run during the past
year has spent only one hour over it, and if his wiU or
his grand lather has spent another hour, this newspa
per in 1883 has afforded the human race thirteen
thousand years of steady reading, night and day.
It is only by little calculations as these that you can
form fluy idea of the circulation of the most popii nr
of American newspapers, or of its influence on tue
opinions and actions of American men and women.
The Snu is, and will continue, to be a newspaper
which tells the truth without fear of consequences,
which g** s at the facta no matter ho.v much th • process
costs, which presents the news of the world without
waste of words and in the most readable shape, wuicli
is working with all its heart for the cause of holiest
government, and which therefore believes that the Re
publican party must go, and must go in this coming
year of our Lord, 18^4.
If you know The Run, you like it already, and you
will r**ad it with accustomed diligence and profit dur
ing what is sure to be the most interesting year in it«
history, if you do not yet know The Sun, it is high
time to get into the sunshine.

THE Mortgage.
We worked through spring and winter,
through summer and through full.
Rut the mortgage worked the hardest and
the steadiest of them all;
It worked on nigts and Sundays, it worked
entdi holiday;
It settled down among us, and it never went
away.
What ever we kept from it seemed almost as
hud as theft;
It watched us every minute, and ruled us
right and left.
Tilt rust and blight were with us sometimes,
and sometimes not;
The dark-browned scowling mortgage was
forever on the spot
The weevil and the cut-worm, they went as
w 11 as came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating hearty
all the same.
It nailed up every window, stood guard at
every door.
And happiness and sunshine made their
home with us no more,
Till with failing crops and sickness we got
stalled-upon the grade,
And there came a dark day on us when the
interest wastn’t paid;
And there came a sharp foreclosure and I
kind o’ lost my hold.
And grew weary and discouraged, and the
farm was cheaply sold.
Tiie childien left and scattered, when they
hardly yet were grown;
.My wife she pined and perished, an' I found
myself alone.
What she died of was a “mystery,” an’ the
doctors never knew;
But I knew she diet of mortgage —just as
well as 1 wanted to.
If to trace a hidden sorrow were within the
doctor’s art,
They’d ha’found a mortgage lying on that
woman’s broken heart.
Worm or beetle, drought or tempest, on a
farmer’s land may fall,
But for first-class ruination, trust a mortgage
’gainst them all.

Miramly’s Water Cure.
BY OKOnOK W. SYMONDS.
Mis. Priscilla Mutidy was hard at work
over the week’s wash, when a loud knock
caused her to hastily wipe her red, suds
blisicrid hands, smooth out her thin hair,
roll down hoi sleeves, and waik quickly to
the door.
A woman of her own age and her exact
Counterp irt, so far as face and form were
concerned, stood on the rickety porch, sur
rounded by a big collection of hags, has
i ets and bundles.
“AJirandy!” cried Mrs. Mundy.
And then the tears moistened her weak
eye s ) and sho clasp'd tho visitor in her
t ony arms.
The new comer returned the embrace
arm kissed Mrs. Mundy affectionately.
“You look awlul worn and tired, Pris
cilia,’ she observed, as the latter led the
way into the mean parlor. “How’s a 1 i?”
Mis. Mundy sighed before site made
reply. Brio had a gteat fashion ol sighing
ol late, and the Loro knows she had suffi
cient cause to.
“L’ui washing,” she answered, npnloget
ieally, “ai:d I suppose the hard work does
make a body look worn and tired. The
children are all well. They're all at school
except Tommy; lie’s gone to town with his
father.”
“So he's gone in town,” observed Minn
dy. with a particularly si rung emphasis on
the lie’s.
“Yes,” was the faint response.
“In harvest time, too, and the place go- j
ing to iiicr and rum right under Ins eyes
just for lack ot attention. Priscilla, why [
don't you put your foot dowt.?”
“Oil, Mirandy!” was the protest.
“Now look here, Priscilla Mutidy—Pris- j
cilia Behce i hat was," she continued, reso- ■
lotciy, “I've couic to slop a mouth, and j
I'll just tell you things have got to go dit '
tcrt-nl while I’m here. John’s folks told j
me how shamefully you wis being treated.
\\ liy, they said he wouldn’t even allow
you to pay them a visit, and Maria allow
ed that you didn’t have a decent gown to
your back ”
Mis. Mundy bung her bead, and the tears
Marled afresh
stopped at John’s as I came on,'’
continued Mtiuridy, who, by the way, was
Mrs Monday's twin >ie'er, ''«rd ti ey told
me to make you come up aud spend a
month witfr ’em.”
“I can't leave, Mirandy, just now, What
with—’’began Mrs. Mundy.
And the other interrupted her.
“Nonsense!” she cried. “Don't make
excuses to me. Y'ou’vc got to go, and
that’s the long and the short of it. The
stage’ll be by hero in half an hour, and I
told the driver to stop. Put on one of my
dresses, and fix yourself up decent, for
John's folks see u power of company, and
Maria is mighty dressy Here’s ten dollars
to pay your expenses ”
Bhe handed a crisp note to the bewil
dcred woman, aud gcutly pushed her ftoni
thr room.
“What’ll Tom say 9 ” ventured Mrs.
Mundy, timidly, as they climbed the rick
ety stairs together.
“I’ll ’tend to him!” was Miranda’s cons
fident and rather spiteful answer. “Say
no more about it.” •
And Airs Mundy, who rccojo’zed arid i
lelt powerless to resist the superiorjwill-force j
ol her sister, allowed herself to he “fixed I
up;” aud when the stage stopped at the
door, on its return trip, she was ready for
the visit to her brother John, who lived
about twenty miles distant.
In one ot her sister-'* ' < at fitting dress
es, with a snow white collar at her throat
and u hit of ribbon in her huir, gloves on
her calloused hands and a smart bonnet on
her head, she very closely resembled the
other, who had donned one of Mrs. Mutt
dy’s calico house-dresses, and stood beside
her to hid her good tiy.
“Now, have a good time, Priscilla,” she
said, as she gave the* poor woman a faro
well kiss. “I'll keep things moving at
homo.”
W'heD the coach rolled away and was
lost Iroui view in a cloud of dust, Miss
Miranda Betee entered the house aud re
sumed the interrupted work.
By three o’clock, the clothes were hang
ing on the line, the kitchen had been
cleared up, the other rooms swept and the
beds made.
Now she hustled about, preparing sup
per, and was mixing up dough for biscuit
wlu-n a small boy knocked timidly at the
kiteken-door.
“Well?” was Miranda’s inquiry, as sho
opened tho door.
“I’leasc, Mis’ Mundy.” began the urchin
“nia sent me over to ask you es Willie an’
the girls could stop et our house to-night?”
“Yes, they can stay,/’ was the answer,
and the hoy with a muttered, “Thankee,
mom!” bobed l\is head, and run away.
“Now, I'll have him all to myself,” said
Miss Miranda aloud, and her sharp eyes
twinkled maliciously; “and- I’ll he hound
he’ll learn u lesson this day that he won’t
soon forget —the bruse!”
She had supper ou the table, when the
sound ot wagon wheels was heard, and
peeping through the window, she saw a red
wagon with yellow wheels drawn by a bo
uy horse, just turning the corner of the
lioii-e.
A man and a hoy were on the scat. Tile
hoy was driving, and the man reeled back
and forth whenever the wheel of the velii
ran anaiust aud obstructi in.
“Drunk, a* u-ual!” was Miranda’s com
ment, as the wagon halted before the kitch
en door.
The man alighted, and walked unsteadi
ly toward the house. The hoy drove the
horse in to the barn.
The face of the mau, who was no other
dm Mundy, was red aud flushed, and he
kicked open the door uri l staggered into
the room.
Miranda looked up quickly and her eyes
(Fished.
lie caught the gleam and strode toward
her.
“Don’t yc look at me that way!” Give!
me my supper.”
“ W lieu supper’s r -ady you can have it.” ]
answered Mirandy,quietly, although her lip
twitched cuuvu'sively, and her hands were
clasped nervously. “And wheD you come |
into the house you ueedu’t kick down the
doors. They were made to be opened.” i
“What?” gasped the man.
“You beard what 1 said,” ansi* ered Mi
randa. ‘ I'm tired of your bullying, and
1 wint you to stop it. or it'll he tho worst
lor you.”
Torn Mundy started at the woman he
supposed his wife in mute astonishment.

site had rover talked to him like this be*
! fore, und lie did not know what to make of
i
“I reckon I'll do ns I please in my own
house,” he cried, hotly.
•‘I reckon you won’t if you goshowiog n e
any more of your taotrams.”
*' “I won’t, hey?” he cried. And raising
his foot, he kicked the table spitefully.
“We’ll see who's boss here! ’
The blow was a powerful one, aod the
table, with its load of china, fell to tbe
floor with a crash.
Miss Miranda llebco sprang toward the
vandal, and her gray eyes flashed fire.
“We will see who's boss here?” she
cried,
And before the astonished man could
comprehend the meaning of her sudden
onslaught, she seized him around the waist
pinioning his arms close to his sides, lifted
him from the floor, and bore him, kicking
and struggling, through the opon door.
A barrel of rain-water stood under the
j eves, and into this she soused the yelling
tnan, head first.
Again and again he was plunged into
the cold water, until nearly suffocated and
gasped for breath, he begged piteously
fur mercy.
“You’ve got enough, have you?” cried
Miranda.
And she soused him under again.
] “Yes he gasped.
“You’ll kick over tables, will you?” she
cried, and once more forced his head be
neath the water.
“No, no, I’rscilla!” he pleaded. I'll do
what ever you say.”
She released her hold, and pointed to
ward the shed.
“Go in there,” she said, “and I'll bring
you out some dry clothes. I want you to
understand that hercaltcr you've got to be
. have yourself.”
“Yes, Priscilla!”
lie presouted a pitiable sight, and Miss
Miranda could hardly restrain her laughter.
She turned and entered the house, and
ihe thoroughly-cowed bully slunk into
the woodshed.
Miranda brought him dry clothes, anil
he dressed himself
She waited out side, and, when the
change was complete, opened the door aud
stood beside him.
For an hour she remained with the now
thoroughly sobered man, and when they
finally came out and entered the, house there
were traces' of tears in the eyes of both.
Little Tom, hearing the uproar, had re
marned at the barn, and when Miranda
had cleared up the broken crockery and
rearranged the table, she went out and call
ed him to supper.
Tom Muody ate Ids food in silcDcc, aud
tears occasionally started to his eyes.
“I’lll go over after her to-morrow,, Mi
randa,” he said, os he pushed his chair
back; “and if ever I touch liquor again, I
hope it may choke me!”
“That’s the way to talk!” agreed Miran-
Ja. “I’m tired of wandering about From
pillar to post, and hereafter I intend to live
with you. I'll let you have the money to
pay off (he mortgage and fix the place up,
aud as long as you act like a maD I’m your
friend.”
She was a? good as her word, and six
months alter arrival, the Muody place had
undergone a startling transformation.
The house was newly painted aod cczily
furnished, the fences had been repaired,
the roof of the barn rneuded, and poor
Priscilla Mundy found her husband, from
whoso brutallity she had so often suffered,
changed into a kind, indulgent, hard-work
ing, sober man.
“It’s all duo to Mirandy,” he said, one
dav, as he looked out over hie well-tilled
fields, with his arms around his wife's
waist—“all duo to Miraudy and that water
burrel!"
lie kissed his wife’s upturned face, and
hru.-bed away the tears which glistened
in her eyes.
“Thank heaven for the water-barrel!”
she whispered, aud returned the kiss.
Au exchange remarks that, “the best
teachers are those who learn something
new themselves every day,” so wo an
nounce this day that several thousand im
portant cures have been made by the uso
of I>r. Pull’s Gough Syrup.
