A FT EU TWENTY-SEVEN YKAIW.-A romaucc of real l'fo, stranger thau any fiction, has recctly had its denouement, one of the part ? most interested being a resident of thib city. This is n wid owed lady whoso namo we arc not at liberty to make public for too present, who has recently discovered tho where abouts of a long lout daughter, sudon from hor twenty-seven years ago when an infant. Tho lady, though a resident of Springfield for somo years past, is a native of ? elford County, Ct., and went with her husband, after her marriage, to western Now York, which was then a good deal of a wilderness as compared with ?Ls condition now. Her first child, a girl, was born there, and shu was on her way to rejoin hor husband, after a temporary separation, when tho infaut was stolon from her during ' long stage journey, and ?he has never ?jen the child since, though, as noted above, sho bas recently discovered that sho is alive, and living in Wisconsin, where sho is mar ried and has three children. The anguish of the mother ut losing her first born child can bo conceived but not described. A long fit of sickness followed, and after her recovery all possi ble search was mado for thc missing babo, but without success. But tho mother never gavo up hopo of hearing of her child, and after twenty-seven years had elapsed, her faith and patience havo nt Inst been rewarded. It seems she al ways suspected a ina ? who carried her 8omo fifteen miles by t ivnte conveyance to meet tho stage, when on her way to ?oin her husband, of stealing thc child, with intention of adopting it as his own. Sh? now knows that ho was tho abductor. Ho gave it to au accomplice, who took it nomo fifty miles across tho border, into I'eiihsylvania, where it was placed in a family ./Uh n sum of money sufficient to i provide for its wants for some time, j His evident intention was to reclaim tho child when ho could do so without .sus- i 'lici?n, But tho timo never carno when lie dared do it, and the littlo girl grew tip i is thc adopted child of tho family, final- l Iv murri*?1.! the younger brother nf thc ' master of tho house, ami removed to > Wisconsin, whore tlio family is prosper- 1 ms and happy.

Wno COULD OFFER MOSE.--Tho i following little story ia^ a touching one, . iud the nero thereof is a well known joting gentleman of this city : Ho has < aeon somewhat wild in his habits in tho i ;>nst, but for four months he had abstain- i jd from drink and spent his evenings at 1 ?mme. Ono evening, threo weeks ago, 1 be wont out calling and somo ono gave ? bim a gluts of wino. This aroused tho sleeping fiend, and he went off on n I grand carouse. For three d"y? ho lost ' ?U mastory over himself, and scarcely knew where ho was. Ou tho morning : of tho fourth day ho was comparatively sobered up. He wandered into tho read ing room of one of our hotel?, where ho was welt known, and cat down and stared moodily into tho street. Presently n littlo girl of about ten years came iu and looked timidly around the room. Sho waa dressed in rags, but she hed a sweet, intelligent face that could scarcely fail to excite sympathy. There were five persons in the room, and she then went to each, begging. One gentleman gave her n five cent piece, ana sho then went to tho gentleman spoken of and asked him for a penny, noding, "I haven't bad any thing to eat for a wholo day. Tho gentleman was all out of humor and ho said crossly: "Don't bother mo; go nway ; I haven't had any thing to eat for threo day?. Tho child opened ber eyes in shy wonder and stared at bim for a aiomont, and then walked slowly towards the door. Sho turned tho knob and then, after hesitating a few seconds, she tumi d quickly and walked straight to him who had spoken so ill-naturcdiy, and gently laying the th o cents she had recoived on his knee said with a tone of true* girliah pity in her voice, "If you haven't hud any thing to oat for three days you tako this and go and buy Borne broad. Perhaps I can get somo more some whore." Tho young follow blush ed to the roots of hie hair, and lifting tho miniature Sister of Charity in his arms he kissed her two or three times, in de light. Than ho took her to thr pe?eonc in tho room and to those is thc ccr-i'"cr? and the office, and told tho story and asked contributions, giving himself all tho rooney ho had with bim. Ho suc ceeded in raising ovor forty dollars, and sent tho kindly hearted ono on her way rejoicing.-Pittsburg Telegraph. . A MOOKI. CONFESI?N.-Several years arro, in a W<u,tnrn !ATn, p. ve'ing lawyer, a member of a largo church, got dmrk. The brethren said no must confess. Ho demurred. Ho knew the members to be S;ood people, but that they had thoir oulla, euch as driving sharp bargains, screwing labor down to low wages, loan ing money at illegal rates, misrepresen ting articles they bad for aale, etc But they wero good people, and pressed tho lawyer to come before the church meet ing and own up his suis of taking a glass two much, for they wera temperance peopld and abhorred intemp?rance. Tho sinner finally went to the confes sion, found a largo gathering of brethren j and Bisters, whose bowed heads rose and whose eyes glistened with pure delight aa tho lawyer began his confession : "I confess," ho said, "that I never took ten per cent, for money." On that confession down went a brother's head with a groan. "I never torr ? 1 a man from roy door who needed food and shel ter." Down went another head. "I confesa I nover ?old a ?kim milk cheese for a now one," whereupon a sister shrieked for m?rcy. "But-" concluded the sinner. "I have been drunk, andi ara sorry for it." - There is no trait in thr* human char acter so potential for weal or woe aa firrn uesa of purpose.

THE CZAR'S CLEMENCY. fteuMng a Young Man to Hlberla Uecau?e Ho Was IlonoiU Of Hie late Czar Nicholas, a Russian Nihilist tells In the North American Re view a striking ?tory. A young student, a relative of the writer, had with a few friends formed a literary society in which tho works of contemporary political econ omists, publicists, and philosophers were read and and debated. The secret police denounced this society as a revolutiona ry organization, nnd the young student wits imprisoned and condemned to Siberia. All possible influence was brought to bear upon the Czar, but in vain, aud at !a?t the young mau's mother, meeting the Czar one day in Che Summer Garden, knelt and implored her sou's pardon, as serting bis innocence. Tho Czar seemed touched, and promised to give the youth a personal interview. Tho latter was brought to bis Majesty the next day, and tho Czar, forcing him to his knees before him said: "Can you swear befuro the Almighty God that neither you nor your associates had any crlrr inal designs against my life? Can you swear that you believe iii the holiness and eter nity of the Russian autocracy?" The surpriced prisoner answered: "I can swear to your Majesty that neither I nor any of my friends had the remotest idea against your safety. As lo the auto cratic form of government. lean not con scientiously swear that I believe in its eter nity. Tho history of otbercouutries teach es us that the time must come, even in RuHslr., when the people themselves will tako part in its government." The Czar tenderly embraced the student and giv ing bim \ ring drawn from tho imperial finger, said: "This is a token of respect from your Czar. You have been sincere and truthful to me, and there is nothing I hate so much as a lie." He then ap proached the writing table where lay tue student's sontoncc ol exile, aud with one stroke of tho pen signed tb? paper. "I pity you from tho bottom of jiy heart," lie said ; "you are au honest nan, aud an honest man, true to his convictions, is more dangerous to autocracy than an un principled rascal Therefore, I must puuish you, though never was this duty moro painful to mo than now. God bless you, my sou, and judge mercifully if I should appear to be in the wrong." Then once moro embracing the student, ho dismissed bim to Siberia. THE RIGHT TO BE IDE*-. -Has any mnn thc right to be idle? if so where docs he find it? True, he may liavo a Huilicicnt store laid by to support him self without occupation, so that he can bo idle at bis own expense, and without inflicting woe or destitution on others; Rut this gives him no right to bs idle. The world is full of work for bim nnd all other men to do, and thc Word of God commands him to be busy for himself or for other;?. It commonds all to re deem tho time-to work while itlsday nnd throughout tho sac~ed volume to which we look as tho standard of o true morality, no sin is more pointedly con demned than that of a misuse or waste of time. It is tho duty and tho happi ness of nil alike-rich and poor-to pro fitably employ timo. Wo complain with justice about va grancy and idleness among negroes ; but lhere is ton much idleness among whites. It is tho duty of the whites to set an ex ample of industry-to lead in the path way of honorable employment. A mnn jf wealth and prominence, spending his timo ia lounging around, is setting a bod example to the young ann io nis I lubordinatcs, which is effective in aggra rating public idleness.

Ita purpose and method -Ul bs Ike same ns lu the past : To present all tho new? la ? readable shape, and to tell the truth though shs heavens fall. TUE SUN has been, Is, and will continuo to be Ia? depondent of everybody and everything save the Truth and its own convictions of duty. Thetis thc only policy which ao honest newspaper n??4 herc. That ls tho policy which has won for thia newspaper th? eonfidence and friendship of a wider constltuenrr than was eve? enjoyed by any other American Journal. Tuc SUN is the newspapor of the people, lt b not for the rich man against the poor man, or for the poor man sgalnst the rich man, but it se?V* to do equal Justice to all Intercuts in the community. It Ia net the organ cf any ?>ex?ou, class, ?est, ?i party. Thero need be no mystery about It? loves and hates. It is for tho honest man against tb? rogues every timo. It ls for the honest Democrat as against the dlsbcncst Republican, and fe; tis honest Republican M against tho dishonest Dent sent. It uocs not take its cu? from the ut te ran SM of any politician or political organisation. It gives its support unreservedly when men .? measures sro in agreement with the Constltutlsn and with tho principles upon which this repabll? was fonhdt^ for the peopfo. Whenever the Cu* dilution and constitutional principles ar? violated -us in the outrageous conspiracy of 1870. by Which . a man not cl oe tel was placed ia tho President's office, whoro he ?t ill remains-lt speaks out for las right. That is TUB SUM'S idea of Independence, In this respect there vii! ba no chango in Its pro gramme for 1879. TUB 8UN has fairly earned th? hearty hatred el rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all aorta and sises. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less la tb? yeas 187U than lu 1878, 1877, or any year gone br. Tua SUN Is priuted for the men and women of to-dsy, whoso concern ls chiefly with tho affairs of to-day. It has both the disposition and tho ability to afford Its readers the promptest, fullest and most accurst* intelligence of whatever in tbe wldo world 1* worth attention. To this end the resources belonging te well-established prosperity will bo liberally sm loyod. The present disjointed condlUon of parties Ia this country, and the uncertainty of tho futuro, lend an extraoidlnary significance to ?jo ovouisol tho coming year. To present with accuracy aud clearness thu exact situ?t inn ts eacU of its vsryinj phases, and to expound, according to Hs welt-known methods, tho principles that should gulds as through tho labyrinth, will bean Important part of tho THE SUN'O work for 1879.
