T.blcr, St. Lauis, Mo THE SUN FOR 1800 The Sun will deal with the events of the year 1J-S0 i 1 its own fashion, now pretty well under stood by everybody. From January 1 until IVcemher 31 it will be conducted as a newspa per, written in the English language, and print ed for the people. As a newspaper, i ne M.n oe.i.'ves in etiing all the ns.'.s of ;he world promptly, anil present ing it in the most intelligible .sluipe the shape that will enable its readers to keep well abreast of the ape with tlie least unproductive expendi ture of time. The greatest laterest to the greatest number that is the law controlling its daily make-up. It now has a circulation very much larger than I hat of any other Ani:r:ca!i newspaper, and en- lovs a income wiucii it is at all times prepar ed to spend liberally forthe bene.'itof its read ers. l"t;oplo of all conditions of life ana ail ways of thinKing buy and read The Sun; aud they ati derive satisla'tio:i ot some sort Iroin its col umns, for they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments on men and affairs. The Sun believes that the oidv cuide of policy should be common sense, invpfreil by Keuuine American pfir.:plcs antl baciie! bv honesty of nuri'ose. i-or this reason it is. aim win con tinue to be, absolutely independent of pariy. class. cliOjUe. oianiat i.m or interst. It is for ail. but oi none. It will continue to praise what is good uid reprobate what is evil, taking care that its language Is to t he point and plain, be yond the possibility of being misuuderstooit. 't tp uninfluenced bv motives that do not appear on the turfaee : it has no opinions to sell, save those which may be had by any purchaser with two cents. It hates injustice and rascality even mr.re thiii it bites unnecessary words, it ab hors frauds, pities fools, and deplore nincom poops of every species. It willcontinuethrough out the year issu to chastise i he first class, in struct tli second, and discountenance the third. All honest men, with honest eoavictii ns whether sound r mistaken, are its ft Sect e. And the Sun makes no bones of tellinj? the truth tu its friends and about its friends and whenever occasion arises for plain speaking. These are the pi incoples upon which The sun will be ct ndueted during the year to coiie. The year 18 will be one in which no patri otic American can alford to close his eyes to public affairs, it is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the political events wioch it has in ftore. or the necessity of resolute vigi lance on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Oovemment that the founders gave us. The debates and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press, theexciiiiic contests of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strengil. throughout the coun try, the varying dr'ft of . public sentiment, wili all bear directly and effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election to be held in November. Four years ago next November the wiliof the nation, as expressed at the poll, was thwarted by an abomniable conspiracy, the promoters and heneflciarien, of which etill hold the offices they stole. Will the crime of 137i5 be repeated in lS-'-O? The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insol ent Administration intrenched at Washington. The Sun diil something toward dislodg.rg the gang and breaking its power. The same men are now intriguing to restore their leader and themselves to places iroin which they wero driven by the indignation of the people. Will they succeed? Tlie coming year will bring the answers (o these momentous queFlion. The Sun will be on hand to chronicle the facts as. they are developed, and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their relations to expediency ami right. Thus, with a habit of philosophical good hu mor in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in gieat tilings a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of "the people and the principles of the Constitution against all aggresser.s. The Sun is prepared to wrLe a tnit.Mui, instructive, and at the same time eatertainiug history of Our rates of subscription remain unchanged.

When oat of our lives a care Is taken That has darkened its chamber wits gloon like night, We sometimes feel like a sonl foreaken, As, blinded, we walk in the glare of light, Our feet hare been sore, and our braina have been weary, As we watched with a sufferer racked with woes; Yet the Earth acemed blank, an.l life cecmed dreary, When he turned from our watching toDeatn'a repose. So now with my heart that is freed from sor row So now with my eyes that are dry cf tears: I am lonely to-day, and I dread to-morrow. Missing the grief that was mine for year, For what was a burden became a treasure What was bitter grew honey-eweet; And my old-time chums, glad Joy ana Pleas nrc, Now seem strangers to me when we meet. I hugged my sorrow, and nursed it only It was frien -, an I food, and driik, in one; And, now it has gone, I am strangely lonely I miss the shadows, and tire of the sun, I tire of the crown, and I niias the burden; I miss the tronblo that saddened life; And the calm repose that is Sorrow's guerdon Is harder to feear than iis paia and strife.

I suppose the scholars at the head of the class had not recog nized the word by its spelling in stu dying their lessons. They all missed it widely, spelling it in the most in geniously incorrect fashions. Near the foot of the clas3 stood a boy who had never been able toclimb up toward the he:d. But of the few words he did know how to spell, one was "Onion." When the word was missed at the head he became greatly excited, twisting himself into tho most ludicrous con tortions as it came nearer h'ua. At length the wor.l came to him, every one else having missed; the master said "next," whereapcm he exultingly swung Ids hand above hia head and came out with: "O-n, un, i-o-n, yun, ing i:m I'm head, by gosh!"' and be marthal to the head, while the master h".t him a blow across the shoulder for s .veaiicg.
