The Sun for 1832 will make its fifteenth -t- annual revolution under tbe present man agement, shining, as always, fcr all, big and little, mean and gracious, ontented and unhappy. Republican anl Democratic, de praved auti virtuous, inielli-ent and obtuse. The Sun's llht is for mankind aud woman- iua 01 every son ; out its general warmtn is for the good, while it pours discomfort on the backs ot the persistently wicked. The Sun of 1868 was a newspaper of a new kiud. It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude of the 6uperflaous words of an cient journalism. It undertook to report in a fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the news of the world, omitting no event Of human interest, and commenting on affairs with tiie fearlessness cf absolute indepen dence. The success of this experiment was tie success of the Sun. it : fleeted a perma nent chan ire in the style of American news papers. Every important jonrual establish ed in this country in the dozen years past has been modelled after te Sun. Every important journal already existing has been modified and bettered by the force of the Suu's -example. I Tbe Bun of 1S82 will be the same outspo ken, trnthtelling and interesting newspaper. By a liberal use of tbe Sneans which an abuodaDt prosperity affords! we shall make it better than ever before. We hall print all the news, putting them into readable shape, and measuring its im portauce, by its real interest to the people. Distance to Printing Honse Square is not the first consid rcion with he Sun. When ever anything happens worth reporting we get the particulars whether in Brooklyn or in Bokhara. in politics we have cccidud opinions ; and are accustomed to express them in language that can be understood- We say what we think about men and events. That habit is the ouly 6tcret of the Snn's (political course. The weekly Sun gathers Into eight pages the best matter of the seven daily issues. An agricultural department of unequalled merit, full market reports, and a liberal pro portion of literary, scientific and intelligence complete tne weekly Snn, nd make it the best newspaper for the farmer's household that, was ever printed.

A recent bitcli at the altar occur red at a fashionable Ennrlisli town A large party had assembled ia one of the churches there to witness the nuptials of the niece of a prominent Citizen, when when it was discovered at the last moment that the registrar, who had the license in his pocked, had not arrived. At the suggestion Of the officiating clergyman, the cer emony waa delayed for a short time, while one of the party went in search of the errant registrar. His office waa the first place visited; but he had 6""" u t.-"."o " his whereabouts. Thence the mec senger repaired in hot haste to his residence, which happened to be some distance out of town; and mean while, the party at the chapel be coming impatient, other scouts were dispatched in varions directions. At i length it was ascertained that the worthy registrar had left toVn by an early train, and as it was impos sible that he could return in time the wedding had to be postponed till the following day. The hitch, it ap peared. had occurred through the legistrar having received noinforma tion of the day and hour of the in tended marriage. I Ficklessness on the part of both grooms and brides, has been a fruit ful source of hitches at thejaltar. There is a story told of a rustic swain who when asked whether he vouid take his partner to be his wedded wife, replied, with shamef ul indecis loh; "Yes, I'm willin'; but I'd a much sight rather have her sister. ; An equally remarkable instance, which must be authentic, is narrated by a Bathgate minister. In this case, a hitch had occurred at the outset, through the absence of witnesses, and the bride herself had surmounted the dificulty by going for two friends. one of them being her cousin, a blboming lass, somewhat younger than herself. When, at length, the parties had been properly arranged, the minister was about to proceed with the ceremony, the bridegfoom suddenly said: "Wad ye. bide a wee, sir?" -'Oh, what is it now?" asked the exasperated clergyman. "Weel, replied the valillating groom, "I was just gaun to say that if it wad be the same to you, I wad rather hae j that one" pointing to the bridesmaid. "A moat extraordinary statement to inuttO at thi stage; Am airaia u b too late to talk of such a thing now." Ia it?" returned the bndegrooijn, in a tone oi calm resignation to tne in evitable. "Well, then, sir, ye maun just gang on." The gentleman who &o inoppor tunely declared his preference! lor thej sister of his bride, is only one of many who have made similarly eecen trie replies to the all important ques . tion. One hasty individual, , on be ing asked if he would take the lady byjhis side to be his wife, testily re sponded: "in course I will; that' what I came- here for. , On a recent occasion an . eccentric Driuegroom, when interrogated in the usual fash ion as to the acceptance of his bride, persisted in responding to the con fusion and bewilderme of the ofll ciating clergyman: "Tea, for a fort night;" a declaration which waa the occasion of no little trouble and per plexity, though the difficulty was ultimately overcome. A certain famous African explorer was once the victim of one of those extremely distressing hitches which amount to the complete and final separation of those who would other wise have been united for better or for worse. He had fallen deeply in love with a young Greek maiden whom he met in Crete. He after ward declared that he never, before no? since, had he beheld so sweet and beautiful a creature. Having sought out the American Consul, he revealed to him the state of his heart. The Consul, who had him self married a Greek lady, bade him not despair, took him forthwith to the house of his inamorata, and pre sented him to her mother, who was a widow. The negotiations were conducted successfully; at the end of a week he was an accepted lover; and, in a fortnight the day for the wetlding had arrived. All this while he had seen the young lady once a day, always in th presence of her mother; and on the day before the intended matriage he had been per mited for the first time to take her hand and to imprint upon it a chaste salute. he hour appointed for the wedding found the bridegroom dressed for the ceremony and await ing the happy moment. . There enter to him at this juncture three Greeks, whom he had never seen before, and an interpreter, who introduces them as brothers of the, bride elect. They produced a parchment, which the in terpreter explains. It is a deed of settlement which! binds the bride groom to pay so much a year to the mother and to each brother, and so much to his wife, and to disburse the first installments on the spot. In -wi n . t: t j i in vain tne uniucsy traveler, ex plains that he is worth nothing and cannot pay. The brother looked daggers, the interpreter frowns, and the scene closes with the arrival of the Consul, who with difficulty gets bis protege out of f be clutches of his importune wouldjbe relations, and ships him off to Athens. He never saw his beautiful precian maid again. Annoyance Avoided., i 1 Gray hairs are honorab'e but their pre mature appeirance is annoying. Parker's Hair Balsam prevents tbe annoyance by promptly restoring the youthful color. A Sew- Eailroad Enterprise in North Carolina. At the last session of the Legis la t lire a nothern syndicate obtained a charter for the construction of a railroad from Faygtteville to Win ston, and thence up the Yadkin Val ley to the Tennessee line. Under the Charter branches may be built in all directions, and the locetion of the main line was not fixed as to hamper its interest. The agent of the com paiiVj or rather member of it, have beeAicaref till v gathering information of refutes, and it may be now stated that the chief points; in regard to the enterprise are settled, and that the work is about to be begun. The road is td be a harrow gaga , and to begin at Bonnet tsville, S.! C, in tbe heart of a fine cotton region, and run via Society Hills, on tho road from Che raw to Florence, connecting with Charleston, t;t Fayetteville, N. C; and thence by the Chatham coal fields, by the Deep river factories, and High Point to Winston. From the Yadkin Valley, by Patterson, and thence to meet the road of General Imboden. There will be a branch to Lrraham, and possibly one to Mt. Airy from Elkin, or that vicinity. This is the only railroad in North Carolina or proposed road designed to foster manufacturing and mining enterprises. A glance at the map will show that it is wise ly located. It will be within reach of nearly thirty existing manufac tories of cotton and woolen goods; will pass by the Chatham coalfields, and over the richest and best iron deposits of the State; will penetrate a region of the best agricultural re sources not likely to be reached by any other road, of tho most valuable forests of timber and of immense water power. It will have a base on the Southern Atlantic, at the ports of Norfolk, Beaufort, Wilmington and Charleston. Will open a way from the centre of tho cotton belt of the Atlantic with the densest man ufacturing operations of the South, the capabilities of which have hard ly been tapped, and will ultimately reach the Mississippi Valley. I he parties concerned eem to be in earnest; working qmetly and practically. On the 29 th December, book were opened at High Point where there was, subscribed that day live j hundred and twenty thousand dollars. No effort has been made to tax the communities along the line, and the company seem anxious first to show that its pur poses are fixed and bona fide, and that it can and will carry ' out its plane. Amsrioan Prosperity. In tho valuation of natural wealth the United States stand near the head of the list third on the list of all Western nations. Tbe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land heads the list, with as valuation of $44,400,000,000; then comes France, with $36,700,000,009; the United States, with 32,000,000,000; Germany, with $22,000,-000,000; Russia, with $15,000,000,000, and the Low Counties with $11,150,000,0 )0, collectively. These are the valu ations made by those countries of their entire resources. The average annual income, per in habitant, in various countries, how ever, show how rapidly the Unified States are coming to the front. Tlie The average anual income in the United Kingdom is $165; in the United States, 165 also; m the how Countries, $130; in France, $125; in the British Colonies, $90; in Germ- ' i , - fi sop any, and also in ocanainavia, voo. " In this reckoning, Russia, with her 90,000,000 people, is out of sight as yet; she will not be so very long. Taking the question f rom . another point of view, let U3' aok: What is our annual accumulation of " wealth, as compared with the annual accum ulation of other nations? And hero we step far in advance of eommxtn ities which gives us full estimates. It should be borne in mind, however, that the rate of interest for agricul tural capital with us is double the average rate for Europe. The an nual accumulation of wealth, then, in German v, is 2,000,000,000; it is $325,000,000 in the United Kingdom; 375,000,000 in France; in the Unit ed States 'it is $825,000,000. Our increase oi national wealth since 1850, says a good English au thority, would be enough to purchase the whole German Empire, with its farms, cities, banks, shipping, manu factures, etc. The annual accumula tion has been 825,000,000, and therefore, each decade adds more to the wealth of the United States than the capital value of Italy and Spain. Every day that the sun rises upon the American people, sees an addi tion of $2,300,000 to the wealth of the Republic. Bather Enthusiastic. The Wilmington (DeL) Daily Republican lately contained the following item of pop ular interest: Dr J. F. Kneok. who is con- nected with the - Wilmington Every Even ing, speaks rather enuiusiastically of ct. Jacobs Oil. Dr. Speck states that he uses the Oil in his family as a household rem edy, a sort,r of universal panacea for all aches and pains, and has always found it to act most happily. His attention was called to it by the many testimonials in its favor, and he one day used it upon himself for fpre throat. Two applica'ions were sufficient to effect a cure. He also used it on his little girl for sore throat with grati fying success. The same child had scarlet fever this winter which left the tendons of oue leg much contracted; The little prat tier couldn't walk without assistance and suffered much inconvenience and pain. Several applications of St. Jacobs Oil re stored her limb to its normal condition and she has not experienced any trouble since. Dr. Speck stat8 that be has also seen the Oil act charmingly in toothache. He thinks St. Jacobs Oil is a sterling remedy, and does not hesitate to recommend it for rheu matism, etc. Gold and Silver Certificates as our Paper; Honey,. American Register. There are so many good and valid reasons for the proposed change in our paper circulation, that it is no easy to say which may be deemed the most conclusive and satisfactory. Hon. Dietrich C. Smith, of Illinois, made a capital speech on the subject, ' ii TT - T-, .... . . lii iue riouso oi xtepresietatives in Congress, a few days since, in the course of which he said "To the extent that a government becomes the depositary of the specie oi ;he people and issues its certifi cates for the same, to that extent it commands their confidence : and 'de velops patriotic devotion to the gov ernment m the hearts of the people, This is an important fact. The system of gold and silver certificates as the paper money of the country win tortiiy the government in the interests and hearts of the people; and in doing this, it will furnish them with a currency which will neither fluctuate in value, nor even become worthless in their hands.' The attention . of the countrv is called to another and a crowning reason lor this proposed paper money. It cannot, from its nature, produce contractions or expansions in the standard of value except such as result from the inevitable opera tions and laws of trade. Based dol lar for dollar on the precious metals, the currency of the commercial world, no variations can take place except such as are necessarily re quired and produced by trade itself. The amount cannot be inflated be yond the actual amount of the gold and silver represented by it, and that amount will be regularly replenished whenever reduced by being drawn out. jsut tt is ainerent witn paper money based on credit. That is, not regulated by the amount of money of the commercial world actually represented by it The amount of the issues of the paper money based on credit is governed by the specula tive projects of those who issue it, and of those who bonow it. Private speculations, therefore on the basis of credit, departing and varying from the standard of value of the com mercial world, produce the fictitious contractions and expansions which. disturb the equilibrium of the circu lating medium, and violate the laws of trade, which are as I inevitable as the laws of nature. This can be made fl matter of pure demonstration. Liet us then have gold and silver cej tificates, and plenty of them. An abundance of this money will pro duce prosperity and actual wealth without the liability of a collapse. Vaccinaticn. -The following observations made by Drs. Buchauan and Seaton during the epidemic of smallpox in Sweden in 1863, where therewas upwards of 50,000 children in various national and parochial schools, workhouses, etc., are of such extreme importance that we make no appology for in serting them. Some of the children had never been vaccinated; the larger majority had been vaccinated in va rious manners and degrees. Of every 1,000 children without any mark of vaccination, no fewer than 360 had scars of smallpox; while of every 1,000 children who had evi dence of vaccination only 177, on an average, had any such trace, and with regard to the quality and amount of vaccination, it was found that of children having four or more cicatrices, only 62 per 1,000 had any trace of smallpox; while of those who had a single bad mark, 19 per 1,000 were scarred by smallpox. Hence the best vaccination was more than 30 times as protective as the worst, , and the wors.t was more than 47 times better than none at all. The importance of the completeness of vaccination, as shown by the cicatrice is also well shown by the results ob tained by Mr. Marson. From- the study of more than 15,000 cases at tho smallpox hospital, he finds that while the unvaccinated died at the rate of 37 per cent., the vaccinated have died at the rate of only 6 per cent; the mortality among those with four or jnore scare being only 0.55, while that among those with only a single scar was .7. 73 per cent, so that while the average risk which vaccinated persons run if they do catch smallpox is about one-sixth of the risk run by unvaccinated per sons, well vaccinated persons run less than one-seventeth part of the risk. It must further be borne in mine that while few unvaccinated persons do not at some period of life sustain an attack of smallpox, the 1 cases are comparatively rare in which a well vaccinated person catches the disorder; so that the protective power of vaccination shows itself in two ways, viz: 1st, in' shielding the constitution, in the great majority of cases from any kind of attack of smallpox, and 2nd in the exceptional cases of so modifying the disease as almost deprive it of danger to life, or of those terrible diefigurementa which the unmodified disease so frequently leaves behind it Lib. Uuisix Kxowl. Time is Money. . . - . One fine morning, when Franklin was busy preparing his newspaper for the press, a lounger stepped into the store and spent an liour or more looking over the books, etc, and finally, taking" one in his hand, asked the "shop boy for the price. ).' "One dollar,, was the answer. "One dollar!' " said the lounger; .nn -wit n-it foVn laaa 4 V. tUnlt" . . j w uww vM.b. .iuu " t r nib; "-7o, indeed; one dollar is the price. I Another hour had nearly passed when the lounger said: fv "Is Mr. Franklin at home? "Yes, he is in the printing office, "I want to see him," said the lonne-er. The shop-boy immediately inform ed Mr. Franklin that a gentleman was in -the store waiting to see him. Franklin was soon behind the coun ter, when the lounger addressed him thus: "Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest yon can take for .that book?" "One dollar and a quarter, was the ready answer. "One dollar and a quarter! vvny. your young man ased me oniy dollar." "True." said Franklin, "I could better have afforded to have taken a dollar then than to Have been taken out of the office," The lounger seemed surprised, and wiehing to end the parley of his own making, said: "Come, Mr. Franklin, tell me wnat is the lowest you can take for it?" A dollar and a half, was tne re W1 . "A dollar and a hall ! Why, you offered it yourself for a dollar and a quarter." Yes, said Franklin, "and x nad better have taken that price than a dollar and 'a half now. A "Cotton" Lecture. On Mondav eveningTlast Mr. J .IB. King gave a lecture before the'Young Men's Chris tain Association on Cot ton, it being the first of a series of commercial lectures to be delivered this season. He said: The history of cotton carries us back to the remot est ages of antiquity, it being men loned by Herodotus as early as 45U years before the Christian era, while it must have been known and used in India for centuries before. Its or ieinal home was upon the banks of thelndus and Granges, where, with the rudest distaff and spindle, it has been manufactured so delicately . as to be almost transparent, and so light as to be called "webs of woven wind." Alexander the Great first introduced it into Europe as an arti cle of commerce. Its progress was then traced through the Middle Ages into its development as the' greatest industry of modern times- The cotton "plant was then described, with the essential conditions of its successful growth, the methods of planting, picking and preparation for the market While ailk, wool, and all other materials for clothing and kindred purposes are limited in the geographical extent of their use, cotton is almost universal in its ad aption, and stands alone at the head of textile industries. The principal cotton-producing countries, in order of production, are the United States, India and Egypt The story of the cotton interest in this country was graphically told from its first plant ing in 1621. The great influence of Whitney s invention of the cotton gin was shown as having wonderfully increased its mercantile importance. Most interesting figures were given regarding the magnitude of the crop of 18.1, which was valued at $3UU,- 000,000. If it had all been made in to common calico, twenty-eight inch es wide, it would have reached around the world 483 times, or over 12.000, 000 miles, and, if span into thread as fine as has been manufactured, it would have extended farther beyond the Bun than the sun is from the earth. ACool Eeply. An important case was tried be fore the Criminal Court of the Dis trict of Columbia. An old colored man was on the witnssB stand. The District Attorney had before him a long list of convicted criminals. After several glances at the paper, he thus interrogated, the witness: "What is your name?" "John Williams, sah." "Are you the John Williams who was sent to the Albany Penitentiary for larceny?" ' "No sah not this John." "Are you the John Williams who was-convicted of arson and sent to the Baltimore Pemntiary?" "No, sah." Tired of asking fruitless questions, the District Attorney suddenly put a leading one: "Have you ever been in the Peni tentiary?" "Yes, sah." ; All eyes were now turned toward the witness. The District Attorney smiled complacently, and then re sumed: JAow many times have you been in the Penitentiary?' "Twice, sah." "Where?" "In Baltimore." "How long were you j there the first time?" "About two hours, sah." "And how long were you in the second time?" asked the crestfallen District Attotney. "An hoar, sah, I went there to whitewash the cell for a lawyer who had robbed his client." V The Attorney sat down amid the laughter of the spectators. She Se ot to Xothers. - .Mothers live for 1 their children, make self-sacrifices for. them and manifest their tenderness and love so freely, that the name mother is the sweetest in human language. And yet sons, youthful and aged, know bit little of the anxiety1, and the nights .of sleepless and painful solicitude which their mothers have pent over; their thoughtless ' way wardness. Those loving hearts go down to their graves with their hours of secret agony untold. As the moth ' er watches by night, or prays in the privacy of her closet, she ways well the words she i will address to her son ia order to lead him to a1 NOL8.8 manhood of honor and usefulness. She will not tell him all the! griefs and deadly fears which beset her. soul. She warns him with trembling lest she may. say overmuch.; She. tries to charm him with cheery love while her heart is bleeding. No worthy and successful man ever yet knew the breadth and depth of obli gation which he is under to the mother who guided his steps at the time when his character for virtue and purity so narrowly blanched against a course of vice and ignomy. Let the dutiful son do his utmost to smooth his mother's pathway, let him obey as implicitly as he can her wishes and advice, let him! omit nothing that will contribute t to her peace, rest and happiness, and yet he will part with her at the. tomb with the debt not half discharged. Political Progress. j It has been well said, that in the establishment of our political insti tutions a great advance was made in he science of government. I I he progress consisted in the following fundamental principles, to wit j 1. That all men are by nature pol itically equal, having certain unalien able rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness. 2. That to secure these rights gov ernments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from! the consent of the governed. , , - . -3. The the primary object of gov ernment is . the protection of the people in their rights of personal sec urity, personal liberty and private property, and that when lit fails to accomplish this purpose it becomes destructive of its legitimate ends. Trlbuln,to a Mother. Children, look in these eves, listen to that dear voice, notice the feeling of even a single touch that is bestow ed upon you by her gentle - hand! Make much of it while you have that most precious of all gifts, a loving mother. Read the unfathomable love in those eyes, the kind anxiety of that tone and look, however slight your pain. In after years you may have friends but never will you have again, the inexpressible love and gentleness lavished upon you which none but a mother bestows. Often do I sigh in my struggles with i the dark, uncaring world, for the sweet, deep security I felt, when of an even ing, nestling in her boosom, I listen ed to some quiet tale, suitable to my age, read in her tender and untiring voice. Never can I forget her -sweet glances cast upon me when I appear-' ed asleep: never her kiss Of peace at night Years have passed away since we laid her. beside my father in the old j churchyard; and still her voice whispers from the, grave, land her eyes watch over me, as I visit ; spots long since 'hallowed to the1 memory of my mother. 1 Fees and Doctors.
