-O"
2ach disappointment that I bea:.
Us source, its strength, its stingy
If self-love hath the larger share,
Or generooa sorrow bring
Ss tribute over hopes that fall,
.Sod knoweth all, God knoweth all.
The pain of flesh, the smart of sool,
The frets and wrongs and sin,
The weariness beyond control,
Of earthly toil and din,
Which sometimes darken as a pall,
God knoweth all, God knoweth all.
The secret expiration deep,
That reaches heavenward still,
The strivings that my soul doth keep
To do His holy will ;
With kindling joy doth heart recall
God knoweth ail, God knoweth all.
Hush then, my soul, all sinful plaint
About the weary way ;
God sees and holds thou canst not faint,
Beyond His powerto stay.
Each onward step though great or small,
God knoweth all, God knoweth all.
"He knoweth all the way I take,"
His sovereign thoughts design,
His sovereign love and mercy make
The humblest way divine.
Re-echoing voices gladly call,
"God knoweth all, God knoweth all."
Maxims for Everybody.
Harm not the harmful.
Home is where the soul finds rest.
Hasty people drink the nectar of ex?
istence scalding hot.
Hasty tempers like bnrricanes, often
do irreparable injury.
Have a care of whom yon speak, and
what, and when, and where".
He who labors for mankind bas al?
ready begun his Immortality.
Habit, if wrong and firmly fixed, is
worse than a chronic disease.
He who thinks his place below him
will certainly be below his place.
Hard workers are usually honest.
Industry lifts them above temptation.
Heart's-ease is a good medicine for
bim who has done wrong to his fellows
He is not as idle who does nothing, j
as be is who might be better employed, j
He that bas no inclination to learn,!
more, will be very apt to think he [
knows enough.
He who loves to read and knows how
to reflect, has laid by a perpetual feast. !
for his old age.
He that places himself neither higher f1
nor lower than he ought to do, exercises j '
?the truest humanity.
?He submits himself to be seen through j j
?a microscope who allows himself to be
<389g?? in a passion.
Hnaan nature is so constituted that
?albeee^and judge better in the affairs of
'e&er*<nen than in their own.
Ho?? carrow our souls become when
.absorbed in any present good or ill. It

Mother.
Once it was Mother, and t&eu it was.
"Mother, Pm hungry,' -Mother put
^up ?y dinner,' and mot&er with her ] '
loving feands would spread the bread i .
?nd butter, and stow a^ay the lunch- j 1
-eon, andrew on the great patch, her I '
'heart brimming wida affection for the j
imperious ?little ?curlypate that made i '
het so many -steps and nearly distracted j '
"her wi* his ?oisterous mirth. }5
Now she Ss the Old Woman ; but [1
?he did oofc think that it would ever j '
?come to that. She looked on through j;
the feiar? years and saw her boy to j 1
masaood grown ; and he stood trans- j1
$gared in the light of her own beau- i
txful love. Never was there a more j
noble son than he-honored of the j 1
world, the staff of her declining years, !
Aye, he was her support even then,
but she did not know it. She never
realized that he was her little boy j1
that gave her strength for daily toil ; i1
that his slender form was all that up- ; '
held her over the brink of a dark de- | !
?pair. She only knew how she loved j1
the child, and felt that amid the i '
mists of age his love would bear ber ?
gently through its infirmities to the ; 1
life beyond. But the son had for- ?]
gotten the mother's tender ministra
tiona now. Adrift from the moor- i '
ings of home, he is cold, selfish, heart- j
less, and "Mother" has no sacred j
meaning to the prodigal. She is the j
'Old Woman ;' wrinkled, gray, lame j
and blind. Pity her, O grave, and j
dry those tears that roll down her ;
furrowed cheeks. Have compassion j
on her sensitive heart, and offer it thy j
quiet rest that it may forget how j
much it longed to be Bear Mother !
to the boy it nourished through a .
careless childhood but in return for
all her wealth of tenderness has only
given back reproach.
'When I was a little child/ said a
good old man, 'my mother used to
bid me keel down beside her and placed \
her hand upon my head while she i
prayed. Ere I was old euough to
know, she died and* I was left to j
my own guidance. Like others, ? was !
inclined to evil passions, but often ?
felt myself checked, and, as it were,
drawn back by a soft hand UDOO my !
head. When a young man I* travel-?
ed in foreign lands and was exposed j
to many temptations ; but when I
would'bave yielded, that same hand ;
was upon my bead and I was saved j
I seem to feel its pressure as in the !
days of my happy iufancy; and some- j
times there came with it a voice in j
my heart-a voice that must be obey- ;
ed-'Oh, do not this wickedness, my i
son, nor sin against thy God.'
There is a sacredness in tears, i
They are not the mark of weakness. ;
bat of power. They speak more clo !
quently than ten thousand tongues. I
They are the messengers of overwhel- !
ming grief, of deep contrition and of
unspeakable love.
If yon desire to enjoy life, avoid un-1
punctual persons. Tiiey impede busi- j
ness and poison pleasure. Make it your i
??wn rule not only to be punctual, but I
a little before-hand. Such a habit ;
secures a composure which is essen- j
wini to happiness. !

ttent in another column headed flood Cofd. !
Strategy Versus Strength.
The sand-hornet is the greatest vii
lain that flies on insect wings, and he
is built for a professional murderer.
He carnes two keen cimeters besides
a deadly poisoned poniard, and is
armed throughout with an invulner
1 able coat of mail. He has things all
his own way; he lives a life of tyrrany
and feeds on blood. There are few
birds-none that 1 know of-that care
to swallow such a red hot morsel, lt
i? said that not even the butcher-bird
hankers after him. The toad will not
touch him, seeming to know by in?
stinct what sort of chain lightuiuing
he contains. Among insects Ibis
hornet is the harpy eagle, and nearly
all of them are at his mercy. Even
the cicada, or drumming harvest-fly,
an insect often larger and heavier
than himself, is his very common
victim. Considering these character?
istics, it was of especial interest to
witness such au incident as I have
here pictured, where one of these
huge tyrants was actually captured
and overpowered by the strategy of
three black ants.
I had left the meadow, and was as?
cending a spur of the mountain by
the edge of a pine wood, when sud?
denly I espied the hornet in question
almost at my feet. He immediately
took to wing, and as he flew on ahead
of me I observed a long pendant
object dangling from his body. The
incumbrance proved too great an ob?
stacle for coutinous flight, and he
soon dropped again upon the path, a
rod or so in advance of me. I over?
took him, and on a close inspection
discovered a plucky black ant clutch
ing tightly with its teeth upon the
hind foot cf its captive, while with
its two hind-legs it clung desperately
to a long cluster of pine needles j
which it carried as a dead weight, j
No sooner did the hornet touch the ?
ground than the ant began to tug j
and yell for help. There were cer?
tainly evidences to warrant such a
belief, for a second ant immediately
appeared upon the seene, emerging
hurriedly from a neighboring thicket
of pine-tree moss. He was too late,
however, for the hornet again sought j
escape in flight. But this attempt
was even more futile than the foi mer, I
for that plucky little assailant had !
now laid hold of another impediment, \
a:.d this time not only thc long pine
needles, but a small branched stick
also, went swinging through the air.
Only a yard or so was covered in this
flight; and as the ant still yelled for
re-inforcement8, its companion again
appeared, and rushed upon the com?
mon foe with such furious zeal that
? felt like patting him on the back.
The whole significance of the scene
be had taken in at a glance, and in
m instant he had taken a vise-like
grip upon the other hind-leg. Now
same the final tug of war. The
iiornet tried to rise, but this second j
passenger was too mnch for him; he !
;ould only buzz along, the ground, |
Iragging his load after him, while his ?
iew assailant clutched desperately at
? very thing within its reach, now a
iried leaf, now a tiny stone, and even
)verturning an acorn-cup in its grasp,
finally, a small rough stick the size
>f a match was. secured, and this
ii'oved the "last straw." In vain !
vere the struggles of escape. The I
?ornet could do no more than lift bis ?
aody from the ground. He rolled
md kicked and tumbled, but to no j
)urpose, ey.cept to make it very lively
br his captors; and the thrusts of]
.hat lively dagger were wasted on j
he desert air, for whether or not !
Aiose ants kuew its searching pro- ?
pensities, they certainly managed to
keep clear of this busy extremity.
How long this pell-mell battle
would have lasted 1 know not, for
\ third ant now appeared, and it was j
astonishing to see him; with every j
movement of the hornet, he in turn j
would lay hold of a third stick, and j
at the same time clutch upon those j
pine needles to add their impediment j
to the burden of his own body.
Practically the ants had won the j
victory, but what they intended to j
do with the floundering elephant in \
their hands seemed a problem. But j
it was to them only a question of j
patience. They had now pinned j
their victim securely, and held him
Lo await assistance. It came. The j
entire neighborhood had been ap- ?
prised of the battle, and in less than
five minutes the ground swarmed
with an army of re-enforcements.
The}' came from all directions; they
pitched upon that hornet with terrible
ferocity, and his complete destruction
was now only a question of moments.
-WILLIAM HAMILTON* GIBSON, in Har-j
pei's Magazine for December.
The Power of Love. j
A lady connected with the Sanitary j
Commission during the war gives the \
following incident :
'On a bleak day tn February she was
making preparations to visit the army !
at Young's Point, and was to leave in !
the night train for Cairo.' A bright- j
looking woman, leadiog two handsome ?
little boys, came in, saying, 'I have j
brought a box for you to take to my \
husband and my boys for you to j
see. When you get to Vicksburg, i
please find Peter R-, I want you j
io tell him his boys look well, and j
his wife, too. Tell him wc are all j
getting along first rate; that I getplen
ty of work, and the boys are good i
and obedient, and not to fret about '
us.' 'I am glad to be the bearer of j
such good new?,' replied the lady, j
'and I will see your husband and j
irivc it to him.' Then thc woman i
i . .i
drew her bands from her caurse mit- j
tens and held them up, cracked and j
bleeding. 'Don't tell him, I beseech j
you,' she said, 'that I have worn thc j
skin off my hands washing every day ; \
and don't tell him that ? have put the j
little boys to bed when they come j
from school to keep them warm, as ? j
have no wood nor lights; don't tell |
him that often when I come home after >
a hard day's scrubbing, my garments :
freeze stiff. It is all true, but still
we are well, and keep warm iu
bed, and are not marching in mud or j
snow, or sick in hospitals. Tell Peter !
all the good you can, and keep back all !
the bad.' i
That was the power of love. Mis-]
erably poor, she could still scud her j
husband a box, and she sent him all ?
that she could that was good, and j
kept back all the bad. Self wr>s for- j
gotten. The beloved objects filled i
ber heart. Would that the object of j
such devotion were always worthy j
of it r

IT. //. Warner ?J- Co.. Rocht tier, K Y. :
Gentlemen-For twenty years I havesufler
' ed more or les? from my bladder and Kidneys.
! My business for many years bad required me
I to travel all over the southern stales. Whilst
? going to Texas, last fall, I saw io a paper an
! advertisement of Warner's Safe Kidney and
I Liver Cure. I bought a bottle, and in less
j than a week the improvement in my health
was palpable. Since then, my general health
has improved wonderfully, and I now enjoy '?
a degree of health and strength, in every par?
ticular, such as I bad not hoped it po sible to
enjoy again in this world-of which I am sat?
isfied, under God's blessing, has been due to ]
your remedy.

II. H. Warner $ Co., Rochester, N. Y. :
Gentlemen : For eighteen months I suffered j
intensely with a disease of the kidneys and a
torpid liver, and after trying every remedy I
that I could hear of, besides being under the
treatment of some of our ablest physicians, I
had about given op my case as hopelessly in?
curable, when I was prevailed upon by my
wife to try your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
I confess that I had but little faith in its
merits or efficacy ; but to my great joy and
satisfaction, after I had commenced on the
second bottle, I continued the use of the med?
icine until I became completely cured.
Judge court of ordinary.
Thousands of equally strong endorsements
-many of them it case where hope was aban?
doned-have been voluntarily given, showing
the remarkable power of Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, in all disesaes of the kidneys,
liver and urinary organs. If any one who
read3 this has any physical trouble, remem?
ber the great danger of delay.

Arc too numerous to specify, and have been
previously mentioned editorially. Prof. Von
Jastaund, Ph. D,, will, from time to time, con?
tribute sketches of German History and Life.
A thrilling and graphic description of thc
"Battle of Sedan" will shortly appear, from
the pen of this able writer. Dr. Thomas F.
Wood, the distinguished Physician, Bontan
ist, and Naturalist, will furnish an interest?
ing paper on "Insectivorous Plants." Prof.
W. B. Phillips, cf the University of North
Carolina, will continue his spicy article called
"Only a Tramp," in which he describes a
foot excursion through the almost pathless
wilds of Western North Carolina. Mrs. C. T.
Branch, one of the most talented writers of
the South, and a daughter of the celebrated
authoress, Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, will tell
us all about her recent visit to that "'Land of
Wonder"-Florida-with its gorgeous scene?
ry, delightful climate, and lavish products.
Mrs. Clara Dargan Maclean, that most gifted
and charming Southern writer, will contrib- I
ute regularly to our columus: and a most j
touching story of real lik, entitled "The Fro?
zen Heart," will appear in the January num?
ber. Poems may be expected from the most
versatile of Southern pens: and the usual

will even be excelled. Comments from all
quarters testify to the fact that the SCUTH is j
awaking to an existence of prosperity never
before dreamed of; then let cur people cou:e
forward, and aid thc Editors of AT HOME AND

NEW Y0Rgr?86? j
THE SUN for 18S2 will make its fifteenth j
annual revolution under the present manage-j
ment, sbiuing, as always, for al), big aud little ?
mean and gracious, contented and unhappy, j
Republican and Democratic, depraved and
virtuous, intelligent and obtuse. THE SUN'S j
light is for mankind and womankind of every j
sort; but its genial warmth is tor the good, ?
while it pours hot discomfort on ibu blistering j
backs of the persistently wicked.
TiiESuN0fl868 wasa newspaper of a r.ew i
kind, it discarded many of the forms, and a j
multitude of the superfluous words and phrases ;
of ancient journalism. It undertook to report j
ina fresh, succinct, unconventional way all !
the news of the world, omitting no event of j
human interest, and commenting upon affairs j
with the fearlessness of absolute independence, i
The success of this experiment was the success j
of THE Su.v. lt effected a permanent change j
in the style of American newspapers. Every j
important jourua? established iu this country !
in the dozen years past has been modelled I
after THE SUN. Every im^oitant journal j
already existing has been modified aud bet- j
tered by tuc force of THE SUN'S example.
THE SUN of 1S82 will be the same outspoken, j
truth-telling, and interesting newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which an ?
abundant prosperity affords, we shall make it j
better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting it into \
readable shape, and measuring its importance,, j
not by the traditional yardstick, but by its j
real interest to the people. Distance from I
Printing House Square is not the first consid- !
oration with THE SUN. Whenever anything j
happens worth reporting we get the particu- i
lars, whether in Brooklyn or Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions; and I
are accustomed to express them in language j
that can be understood. We say what we i
think about men and events. That habit is j
the ouly secret of THE SUN'S political course. ?
The WEEKLY SUN gathers into eight pages j
the best matter of the seven daily issues. Aa ;
Agricultural Department of unequalled merit,, j
full market reports, and a liberal proportion ?
of literary, scientific, and domestic intelligence \
complete the Weekly Sun, sud make it the [
best newspaper for the farmer's household ;
that was ever printed.
Who does not know and read and like The j
Sunday Sun, each number of which isa Gol- ?
conda of interestiug literature, with the best j
poetry of the day, prose every line worth !
reading, news, humor-matter enough to fill J
a good-sized book, and infinitely more varied ;
and entertaining than any book, big or little? j
If our idea of what a newspaper should be i
pleases you, seod for The Sun.
Our terms are as follows :
For the Daily Sun, a four-page sheet of i
twenty-eight columns, the price by mail, post j
paid is 55 cents a month, or S6.5? a year; or :
including the Sunday paper, an eight-page I
sheet of fifty-six columns, the price is 65 cents j
per monthj'or $7.70ayear. postage paid.
The Sunday edition of The Sun is also fur- \
tushed separately a. $1.20 a year, postage paid. '
The price of The Meekly Sun,.eight pages. :
fifty-six columns, is Si a year, postage paid, j
For clubs often sendiug $10 we will send an j
extra copv free.
