Crant's New Year mile™.
New York San.)
Look after the Senators and Con
gressmen and diplomats had left the
White House, and after the last of
tha private uitiaeua had clasped tho
hand of the President and departed,
the door bell rang uharply ana a vis
itor pushed his way into the Blue
room. The President was alone in
the apartment, and as he hastily
locked the closet door of a cupboard
and turned around to meet the caller,
his face showed plainly that he re
garded the visit as nothing more or
less than an uuwarrantable Intrusion.
‘‘You do not recognize me,” said
the unbidden guest, advancing to the
middle of the room. "Yet we ought
to be tolerably well acquainted. 1
picked you up Out of the gutters of
New York city sixteen years ago and
set you on your pins, I was able to
do you a servioe, if I remember right
ly, just before the surrender of Vicks
burg. I followed you pretty closely
through the war, giving you a friend
ly lift now and then. I happened
around in 1868, and, although you
abused me for four years after, I
called again in 1872. I have been at
your elbow ewer since, and never a
man have I treated more kindly, but
you have kept up the abuse. You
nave abused me outrageously, Mr.
Grant!”
“Who the devil are you?” asked
Grant, taking two or three unsteady
steps towards the speaker.
“0, my name is Opportunity,” said
the caller, and I wilt add that this is
my last call. Good afternoon. Mister
Graut.” And thereupon he left tho
room, slaimuiug the door with some
show of indignation.
The President stood a moment in
thought, and then, with a muttered
exclamation, turned again to the
sideboard. But another caller had
already entered unannounced.
“Here we are again, old friend,”
said the new comer, who held his
head high and moved with a lordlj
strut. “How’s your courage, Ulys
ses ?”
“You have the advantage of me,”
said the President.
“Don’t know me! Why. now, this
is surprising. I have been your hum
ble servant ever since Elihu Wash
burne introduced us. Some folks
have regarded me os your master,
but I don’t insist on that point.
Give me your hand, old fellow; my
name is Ambition. By the way, who
was that I met at the door ?”
“It was Opportunity,” said the
President. “He has just gone out.”
“The deuce, you say!” exclaimed
Ambition ; “theQ you’ll have to ex
cuse me. I’m no account without
him. I might stay and potter along
with you for awhile, but I would only
make a fool of you, and waste my
own time into the bargain. Good
bye, Mister Grant.”
And Ambition, with a hurried bow,
walked briskly out of the White
House, and hastened to catch up
with Opportunity.
The Blue room had now become
very blue, and .the President out e
more had recourse to the sideboard.
The next caller was a melancholy
chap, whose breast, and whose eyes
wandered gloomily about. At first
the President paid no attention to
his presence, but he had a way of
making that presence felt.
“Mr. President,” said be, mourn
fully, “I wish you a happy New Year,
Why are not Belknap, and Babcock,
and Orvil, and Avery, and Shepherd
here to celebrate this glad season
with you?”
"Don’t speak of them,” said the
President. “The subjects not pleas
ant.”
“There are many other things I
wish to speak about on this happy
occasion,” returned the caller, witn
a dismal groan. “By the way, how
is poor Custer?”
“Sir 1” exclaimed the President,
“this is impertinent. Who are you?”
“you ought to know me if you
don't. lam Remorse. There is a
good deal I wanted to say, and would
say to another man, but I see Indif
ference coming, and I will make way
♦or him. Mr. President, allow me
once more to wish you a happy new
year.”
Indifference, who entered as Re
morse stalked out, wssa stolid, hard
featured fellow, not unlike the Pres
ident himself. He said nothing, but
beckotied Grant to the sideboard,
where they drank confusion to the
past in many butripers. At length
this last and most welcome of all the
President’s new year’s callers drop
ped his glass on the floor and rushed
out of the room as if in great alarm.
TnePresident turned diszily around
to see what was the matter. There
entered at this moment a guest with
a frightful visage, every muscle of
whose face told of agony and whose
eyes spoke horror. The President
started back and gasped :
“You are
“I see you know me,” said the call
er, rwith agbastly leer. “In admin
istrative circles I pas3 as Neuralgia
of the Brain. Let it go at that.”
“And you have come—”
“Yes, Mr. President,” replied the
apparition. “Let there be no cere
mony between ua. I have come to
stay.”
“And I have brought my family,”
he added as he opened the door and
let in a swarming troop of distorted
images and hideous, grinning little
devils, ail of whom echoed the
words:
“We have to stay.”
The Reattan Why.
Perhaps you hare wondered why the
church of which you are a member did
not grow faster, and give signs of greater
prosperity. It has regular means of grace
and these means of grace are attended by
congregations of orderly and attentive
listeners.
Why are there no more additions to
the church ? Why no more conversions ?
Such questions should not be answered
hastily. They deserve a very carefnl con
sideration, and very honest answers.
Allow a suggestion as to what may be
one reason. Perhaps you do not pray
for a blessing upon the preached word.
The word preached can of itself save no
souls. Tne applying energy of the Holy
Spirit is necessary, and the Holy Spirit is
given in answer to prayer.
Do you habitually pray for your min
ister, and for the Holy Spirit to give
efficacy to the truth preached by him ?

THE SUN.
1877. NEW YORK. 1877.
Tlie different editions of The Sun during the
next year will be the saaie as during the year
that has just passed. The daily edition will on
week days be a sheet of four pages, and on bun
days a aheet of eight pages, or broad columns;
while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight
pages of the same dimensions and character that
are already familiar to our friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous ad
vocate of r form and retrenchment, and of the
substitution of statesmanship, wisdom and
integ.-ity for hollow pretence, imbecility and
fraud In the administration of public affairs. It
will contend for the government of the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the baiiot-box and in
the counting of vote s, enforced by military vio
lance. It will endeavor to supply its readers—a
body no* now iar from a million souls—with the
most careful, complete and trustworthy accounts
of current events, and will employ for this pur
pose a numerous and carefully selected staff of
reporters aud correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate aud
fearless; and it will doubtless continue to de
serve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive
by .plundering the Treasury or by usurping what
the law does not give them, while it will endeavor
to merit the confidence of the public by deiend
iug the rights et the people against the encroach
ments-of unjustified power.
The price of the Daily Sun will be 65 cents a
month or $6 60 a year, post-paid, or with the
Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20 a
year, post-paid.
The Weekly Bun, eight pages of 56 broad col
umns, will be furnished during ls7t St the rate
oi $1 a year, post-paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
individual subscribers w. thou I the necessity of
making up ciuba. At the same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in < xtending our circu
lation, we shull be grateful to them, and every
such person who sends us ten or more subscrib
ers from one place will he entitled to one copy of
the paper for bimself without charge. At one
dollar a year, postage paid, the expenses of paper
and printisg are barely repaid; and. considering
the sixe of the sheet and the quality of its con
tents, we are confident the people will consider
The Weekly Bun the cheapest newspaper pub
lisbed in the world, and we trust also oi e of the
vsry beat.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson; „ , .. ..
All tbs farmers were of the “well to do** sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits aud market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the moat extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of tho oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago,
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences oi calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the t®** l *-
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily aasimilatod by such plants as the fanner desires to
cultivate.
