Mr. D. H. Mason, a missionary yof the

thus writes concerning the recent work of
Mr. Henry Plant, in that‘state: “Henry
Plant, the great Sunday Schodl man of the

our Sunday SchOol conventions. For
twenty-five years a Sunday School superin-
tendent, and all the .time carrying .on an
active business, about a year ago he sold 'it.
out, ——so many and so urgent were the calls;
on. him for evangelistic and Sunday SchoOl
work, to which be is now devoting his
whole time, speaking,r by tongue and by pen
to thousands. His general knowledge of the
Bible, his memory, containing whole chap-
ters and even books of the Scriptureshand
his ability and tact in explaining them, are
indeed wonderful for a-man having so limited
advantages in early life; for all this, nearly,
has been acquired in the home study of the
word at such times as he could 'snatch from
business."

A bold and faithful sermon was preached
.by Rev. S. J. Merwin, of Wilton, in the pul-
pit of' Rev. J. A. Hamilton of Nerwalk, by
exchange, On the text, “Thou makest me to
possess the iniquities of my youth,” Job, xiii
26. The preacher stated that the sermon had
been prepared, during the preceding week,
for his own pulpit; but being called on late
for the exchange, he had brought it to anoth-
er people, thinkihg that it might not be found
inapplicable. .
Among Other sins to which youth is liable,
and is madeto “possess” in after years, which
the preacher enumerated and portrayed, he
especially exposed the sin of liccntiousness
and its fearful results, with a, fearless hand.
The sermon was well received and made a
powerful impression,'and- all seemed tofeel

‘ It takes some time for the true inward-
ness of an election to become manifested
even afterthe ballots are counted. There
wasa little side-show to the main perform-
ance'in this city for instance, which ‘is not
without interest and carried its moral, An
efiort .was made in the democratic party to
, run down Gen: Dwight 'Morris, the candi-
5 date for secretary of state on that ticket, and
to “get even with him” on some personal
grounds by “reducing his majority" over that
which the other portion of the ticket should
receive. The whole ticket was beaten as .we
laid plans go that General Morris instead of
coming in at the tail of his ticket leads every
other name on it by a handsome majority.
“And 10! Ben Adham’s name led all the
rest.” ’ ‘ '
Which shows'that in poligcs, as in- some
other things, even the most sanguine wire-
pullers cannot always sometimes pretty much
tell exactly how matters are coming out. The
above is a very‘ good for a local point, but
there is one circulating through the State,
concerning Hartford,which is very good, also
and deserves .frequent repetition. There
lives in Hartford one General. Green, a most
excellent officer of the .“old melish” and for
some time one of the most popular and em-
cient quart'ermaster generals that the State
has, ever had. ,
When Governor Hubbard came into office
two years ago, he, for reasons best knoivn to
himself, concluded to make a clean sweep of
all the staff appointees, and wrote to General
Green stating that as ,some changes were nec-
essary on the staff, it was thought best to
make a thorough change even if. some good
material was sacrificed thereby, and that after
January lathe might consider himself reliev-
ed. The General survivcd the highloned
communication, but did not forget it, and last
week returned the compliment by forwarding
to his Excellency the Governor, a letter-in—
forming him that although he had made a
very good executive and had given very gen-
eral satisfaction, still it had been- deemed ad-.
some good perhaps with the bad, and that an
entire new deal was thought best. So after
the first of January next he, Gov. Hubbard
might “look out for another place I" Up to

td'rily cbmple‘te compendium. of fa ‘current

before in the work of the ablest writers upon
all topics of interest. It merits careful at-
tention .in making a selection of rcadin

THE NEW YORK siIN FOR 1879.
. THE SUN will be printed every day duringthe
yeartobomc. Its purpose and method ivill be the
some as in the past: To present allure news in a
readable shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall. . '
THE SUN has been. is, and wrll continue to be
independent of everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own convictions of duty. That
is the only policy which an- honest newspaper
need have. That is the policy which has won for
thisncwspaper the confidence and friendship'of a
wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other Americanjournal. ' .' ‘
Tun Suit is the newilp'aper “the people. It is
not for the rich man against the poor man, or for
the poor man against the rich man. but it seeks to
do equal justice to all interests in the community-
It Is not the organ of any person, class,sect. or
party. There need be no mystery about Its loves
aud'hates.\1t Is for the honest man against the
rogues every time. It is'the honest Democrat‘as
against the dishonest Bepubllcan,-aud-forthc hon-
est Republican as against the dishonest Demo-
crat. It does not takeits cue from the utterances
of any politician or political organization. I
gives its support unreservedly when men or meas-
urcs’ are in agreement with Constitution and with
the principles upon which this‘republlc was foun-
(le(t,,for the .people. Whenever the Constitution.
and cdnstitutionul principles are violated—as In 1
1870, by which a mannot elected was placed lnthe
President’s oflice, where he still remains — it
speaks out for the right. That is True SUN’s idea
of Independence. In this respect there will be no
change in Its programme for-1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rascals, frauds and bumbugs of all sorts and rims.
It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the rear ,
1879 than in 1878, 1877. or any your gone by. Tull:
SUle printed for the men and women of to-day
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day.
It has both the dlsposltlon and ability to afford its
readers the prompvost. fullest and most-accurate
intelligence of whatever-in the wide world is .
worth attention. To. this end the resources be-
longing to well-established prosperity willbc liber-
all employed. . ,
he present disjointed condition of parties in
this country, and the uncertainty of the future,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
of the coming ear. To present with accuracy
and clearness t e exact sltua ‘on in’ each of its
variying phases, and to cxpoun , according to its
we -known methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinthnvill he an impon
taut part of THE SUN’s work for 1879. - A
We have the means of making THE SUN. as a
political, a literary. and 'a general newspaper,
more entertaining and more useful than ever be-
fore; and we mean to employ them lreely.
Our rates of subscription remain unchanged.
For the DAILY SUN, 9, four-page sheet of twenty-.
eight columnsfihe price .by mail, postpaid, is 55
cents a month,‘or $6.50 a year; or including the
Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of flfty-six'ccl-
umns, the price is 85 cents a month, or $7. 70 a
year, postage paid. .
The Sunday edition of THE SUN is also furnish-
ed separately at $1 .20 a year, postage paid. The
SUNDAY SUN, in- addition to the current news,
presents, a. most entertaining and instructive
ody of literary and miscellaneous matter, In bulk
twice as great and in value not inferior to that of
the best monthly magazines of the 'day. at one
tenth of their cost. ‘
The WEEKLY sure- is especially ada ted for
those .who do not take a New York dai paper.
The news of the week is fully presented, ts mar-
ket reports are fur-probed to the moment, and Its
- agricultural department, edited wrthxreakcare
and ability, is unsurpassed. The WEEKLY SUN is
probably read to~day by more farmers than any
other aper published, A choicesto ..wlth other

The Story I told to Bill.
BY MAX ADELER.
:36 was six years old, and his na'mewaa
3111. I took him up on my knee, -and asked
pm if he would like to hear the story of the
dood; and he said he would.
“Well, Dill, once there was a
Noah, who—"
“Noah what 7”
“Simply Noah. He had no last name."
“How did they find him the directory,
then ?”
“There were no directories. Noah lived a
great, great many years ago, and—” .
man named
_ “Yes, thousands of years before."
“Did he wear pants ?”
“I don’t know. He lived in a country,
where—” ' _
' “Somewhere in Indiana, wasn’t it ?”
“In Asia Minor,where everybody was very
_wicked, excepting Noah and his three sons.”
. “Were they all boys?”
“Yes, and—”
“Could they Whistle on theirfingers ?”
“And Noah knew there was going to be a
flood.” ' ' .
"In Rancocas creek ?"
“No; I’ll tell you directly, If you’ll wait.”
“Did it sweep away the mill-dam ?”
”And so Noah and his sons went to work
to build a huge boat, whichL” . ‘
“A steamboat 'I"
“No; of course not. Which they called
an ark.” '
“What did they call it that for 7”
“And while they were building it numbers
of people came to see them, and—” ‘
“Reporters, were they ?” '
“And laughed at them for supposing there
would be a flood.” -
“Did you say it wasn’t in the Rancocas ?"
.“But they went on building the boat, with-
out minding the people, so that—"
“Had shca jib-boom 1”
“Oh, I don’t know! 'And so one day it
began to rain, very, very hard.”
“I know what you are going to say. Noah
left his umbrella at home.”
“0h, pshawl they had no umbrellas in
those days." _ , ., .
“No gum shoes,feither ?”
“And it rained, and rained, and-rained, and
rained, until—P , '
“What rained f” ,
“So that the water began to cover the
whole surface of the ground.” '
“Why didn’t they run it into the sewers 7"
“So Noah and his family went into the ark
and took all kinds of animals with them,
and—” ' .
“Not spiders P"
"Yes, 'spiders;” '
“And eels, too ?”
“Yes, and?” '
“But not potato bugs ?"
“I guess so."
“And pelicans?”
“0, yes, everything." . ‘
“What- did he take bedbugsjfor ?"
“0, do bush 1 You ask too many ques-
tions I”
“Did thebilly-goat butt Noah’s boys 2"
door, and the ark floated. ” - .
“Was the whale towed behind? Where did
he keep the tad I” - '
“And it rained der and harder all the
time.” ' '
“Was there a Mrs. Noah i’”
“or course.’_’
“Well, how did she dry her washing when
it rained '1’"
“And. so the ark sailed along upon the
water for. many days." ‘
“Did they row it P"
' “N0.” . .
,“What did Noah and the boys do 2”
“Nothing, that I know of.”
“Maybe they fished of! the side of the
boat.” _
“Very likely they did. ”
“What did they fish for ?”
,7 “To catthiah. o£-course."
“Did they get any?”
“0, I reckon so.”
.“You think they really caught some t"
"0, certainly. And I think its not worth
boy as you.”
“Well, now how could they catch fish out-
Lside, when you said they that they took all
the animals of every kind into the ark with
them ?"
“Why, you see, Bill—"
“It’s outrageous l’-’. said Bill, jumping off
of my knee, and moving toward the door.
“I believe you’re a scandalous story-teller-
going to call mother, and tell her you’re
setting me a' bad example. Father’ll' make
the fur fly of of you when he comes home"
Then Bill flitted up stairs,and I went away.
I am beginning now to catch a glimpse 'of
some of the difficulties of educating youth.

own introduction ah‘Manohnson, and at
his invitation the twain spent the evening

worth of checks and drafts. The next
evening, therefore, he was, met at thedepOt
by Mr. Johnson and a handsomely dressed
lady, whom he introduced as Mrs. Johnson.
“He would be delighted and proud if this
friend would take charge of his wife until
they arrived at Cleveland, where she would
visit some relatives." The merchant Ywas
charmed with the‘prospect,and after a hasty '
adieu Mrs. Johnsbn was left in his company.
.The lady proved as entertaining as her hus-
band, and,so improved her time as to re-
ceivethe confidence of the Indiana traveler,

ing at 8 o'clock to find his pocket-book and
the fair female both gone. She had got off
at Rochester in answer to a telegram from
her tired companion, she kindly let him
sleep on, so the conductor told him. The
authorities of Rochester were put on the
track of the lady, and she was arrested, with
all the money in her possession. Her
pseudo husband was not with her, anda
thorough search in New York failed to dis-
cover his whereabouts. Not courting that
peculiar kind of fame that he would receive
in a prosecution, the. fair but fragile female
was allowed to depart, and the gentleman
returned to his store a wiser and, more can-
tious man.
