THE TRIUl'XE FOR 1S7I.
A year niro the editor of the Tribune promise !
to make this journal dining l"7:i a much more
valuable and complete newspaper than it had
ever been before.- Its facilities for the eollectio::
and transmission of intelligence from all part
of the world had been largely increased ; its stall'
of editors, col respondents aud reporters, had been 1
strengthened by the engagement of sumo of the j
ab'e.tl men in the profession ; and the editor was
risolv.'d to spare neither pains nor money iu the
tirort to make Tut: Tittr.' 'Ni: th" very first news
jiaper in the wurld.
It po'n:!s to the a'.lii-vetiients i:f tht last
twelve months tviia par.'.or.ubir pride. While
The Tkiiii ni: lias retained all the CAeel'.ent fea
tures that made it such a favorite in former days
it has exhibited an enterprise and an aeuteness
iu its news department which have been the
wonder of all its old friends. Remembering that
the chief function of a daily journal is to give its
leaders the fullest, the best arranged, the most
attractive, nnj the most readable history of the
occurrences of the time, it lias devoted its best
energies to this business, and its success has I
been universally rrcoguized and applauded. The
year has been fruitful of startling events, and j
every incident has found m 1 iir Tkiwne its
promptest, most accurate, and mo't perfectly
equipped historian. A Tribune correspondent
was the only civilian who witnessed the surren
der of the Virginius, and his ph-lurcsqtie descrip
tion of that transaction, transmitted by tele- !
graph, is the only account the public has vet seen j
an incident upon which deieuded for many j
weeks the question of pence or war. The Titi
nt'NE published the only full and exhaustive ac
count by Atlantic telegraph ot the terrible ille
du Havre disaster, giving ail the incidents of ;
that catastrophe ten days before other journals !
received thein by the slow course of the. mails, j
It distanced all competitors in its thrilling story !
by cable of the adventures of the Polaris casta- j
wavs. It anticipated cveiy other paper in the
couutrv, and even the Government itself, bv its ;
graphic narratives of Cut-tar's battles on tLe j
Yellowstone. Theclnhorate and deeply interest- j
ing letters of its special correspondent in the I
l si irav e l tie out v i.-oiuoieir uccifimi oi mi; r ai - t
mers' Movement ever published in an Eastern I
paper. The reports of Tun Tkihi ne ptesented !
the important proceedings of the Evangelical j
Alliance in this city with a fullness and accuracy j
everywhere the subject or enthusiastic praise. :
During the panic its daily history of Wall street :
made il absolutely indispensable to business mm; !
aud its stveial correspondents aflerward d
st rilied the condition of affairs in the manufac
turing districts with tin ability which no other
patter seriously rivaled. j
While it never can lie a neutral in jxdities.
The Tkibcne is entirely independent of all par
ties and partisans. It believes that the mere or
gan of a clique cannot fie a thoroughly good
newspaper, and cannot be trusted for impartial
and just comment unii current event. It mabi- j
tains with the old fervor aud w ill always defend i
the Republican principles of equality and justice !
with which, under the control of its ilitiatrious j
founder, IIokace Gkiiki.ey, it was for over thirty
years identified. But It values parties solely e.s
means for procuring honest government on sound -principles.
;
That there is a popular appreciation of that i
sort of independent, vigorous, enterprising, utid 1
high-toned journalism of which The Tmm m: is :
now the clnel representative in tins or any other
counlrv, is sullieientlv prov
ed bv the results of,
the past twelve mom ho. The close of 1S7;; finds j
this paper more prosperous than it has been at
any previous period of its history, and the new i
year opens for it with the most brilliant pros-'
pects. Iu a short time its mechanical facilities i
will surpass those of any other journal in the
world; and on the completion of its new and ;
magnificent building it will be enabled to tot ro- :
(luce various improvements of the most impor
tant character.

One
upon a midnight dreary, vl:i
I floiinder-

On an awful nubby mattress, feeling very lame
and sore ;
While proiiiisciouy tumbling, suddenly I heard
:i rumbling,
Lino a tipsy earthquake grumbling, somewhere
near my chamber floor,
Or a herd of bulls a practicing improvements ou
their roar.
Only that, and nothing more !
Ah ! distinctly I remember, 'twas a hot night in
September,
And my chum in bed beside me fell asleep an
hour before ;
He slept as sonudly as a b.tby, and at first I was
a gaby,
For I never thought that maybe he might per
petrate a snore
That the individual who lay by me might perpe
trate a snore.
That it was, and nothing more!
There he lay, and groaned, ami grunted, and I
! own I felt u fn on ted ;
j Yet with patience unite enormous I did quietly
implore
That he wouldn't snore, hut cease it, and, if
nothing else would ease it.
Take his wiudpipe out and grease it that would
surely stop the snore ;
Hut lie did it all the more !

with energy astounding- I. resorted unto

And I pinched him, and I beat him like a full
drum-major's corps ;
But he didn't slop his snoring he regarded it

And complacently kept settling nasal home runs
by the score,
Till he swelled the dulcet chorus titty thousand
notes or more
In one everlasting snore !
Then, despairingly, I took him out of f1, and

And I left him there till morning, as a melan

THE DOCTOR'S EAST SHOT.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. lirown were having

fumed and fretted over all the fuss that they
made about "that girl" until the doctor
frightened her into silence by telling her
that he knew how she had treated the poor
child, and that if she didn't keep quiet and
have everything done that was needful for
her comfort he would have her arrested and
tried for inhuman cruelty.
Under his watchful care the danger was
soon over, and Meta was pronounced con
valescent. The doctor took her out to ride
as soon as she was able, ia the easiest of
all carriages. Hare delicacies were sent
every day from the hotel to tempt her re
turning appetite. The sweetest and most
fragrant tlowers that could be found adorn
ed her room. Meta remonstrated with him
for all this lavished kindness, but he

and costly fabrics, which she had orders

The lecturer then spoke of the selfish nud
senseless luxury to which vast and dispro-
; portionate fortunes led. The rich gradu-
i nilv assumed the importance which had
. j
on-jc been conferred on merit and public
services. In their banquets they displayed
a prodigality never bejore or since equalled.
In their intercourse they indulged in frivo
lities which were intolerable. Ktl'eminacy
and excessive selfishness marked their
whole lives. The lecturer then quoted the

for whom he felt, no reverence. The.fcir.'.-.us
was his ho.nc, ihv wild beast his consola
tion. Suieidti was S'i cotniiicn that it at
tracted no atteution.
But this wretched class, fed by corn, aud
oil, and wine from the public treasury, was
not so miserable as the slaves, who coin
posed one-half of the . entire population.
They cultivated the . land, fettered and
branded, and at night were shut up in sub
terranean holes. They were always ready
for sedition for what had they Lo live for ?
The machinery of government wight have
lasted louger but for this wretched incubus.
Slavery proved at liome the most destruc
tive cancer. It was worse for master than
for slaves, as it produced hardness of heart
indolence, efleminacy, and helplessness.
The lecturer then described the general
condition of woman, represented by the
poets'' as inferior to man in capacity, and
more vicious in inclination. Woman was
timorous, artful and frivolous. Her hap
piness was in elaborate dress, voluptuous
dances, a retinue of servants, exciting ban
quets, aud showy ornaments. She had few
domestic virtues, and cultivated no lofty
friendships a drudge when poor, a play
thing when rich in both cases a slave.
Added to their various forms of demo
ralization was the absence of an elevated
plilosophy and a regenerating religion.
Among the rich there was "no God." Au
epicurean philosophy denied a superintend
ing Providence, and showed scynacism and
doubt. There was no sort of persoual ac
countability to the Almighty. The rich
had no belief iu the future, and regarded
material good as the greatest gain. To
them the gods were the invention of priests.
An exalted end of life was impossible where
there was no belief in virtue or the holy
certitudes of faith. Outside the pleasures
of sense and intellect, everything was
gloomy and repulsive. If the higher class
abandoned themselves to pleasures without
restraint, and to a philosophy which is lo
gically atheistic, ending in despair, Hie peo
ple were enslaved by degrading supersti
tion, so that it ia difficult to say whether
fashionable atheism or vulgar superstition
was the most demoralizing.

describes a visit to a liuddhist teni'ile and

nunnery, as follows :
"I wish I could describe to you a Budd

walls, its numerous courts, its long, low,

gods and goddesses, with the avenging dei

around aud on both sides of the high altar,
before which incense is contiuually burn
ing, and worshippers contiuually kneeling.
We were ushered iu through seveial small
courts, in which stood huge tripods, or iu-cense-burners,
into a receptiou-rootn, where
two or three nuus received us very civilly.
I asked for the lady abbess, but was told
she was not at home. The prioress, how-
1 ever, soon appeared, accompanied by" seve
ral ninrn niino ntnl we. were invited into a
reception-roo,u-ouc side of which

flowers, in which sat a full sized God-
dess of Mercy, clad in embroidery, with a
crown on her head, from which depended
strings of pearls that nearly covered her
face like a veil of rich fringe. As we were
invited to sit down, we did so, and I began
conversation by asking the prioress some
questions about their mode of living, which
I is supposed to be very strict and abstcmi
j ous. In return she asked tne many ques
I lions about the 'doctrine of Jesus how
j many fast days I kept in the year; and if I
! passed all my time in repeating prayers,
j which U considered one of the first arid
highest duties of the Buddhist.
Tea was then brought in to us, served in
tiny covered china cups, and placed on a
small table at our side. As I took the co
ver off my cup to taste the tea with, in
place of a teaspoon, there seemed to be only
a few rose-leaves iu the bottom of the cup,
and the water quite colorless ; yet, on tast
ing it, I found the flavor exquisite such
tea as is ouly seen in China. We sat about
half au hour longer, aud then, as the per -
fume ot burning sanuei-wooa ana tne
smoke of the incense gave me a head-ache,-I
rose to take leave, amid many protesta
tions of Chinese politeness that I should
not go so soon, and many pressing invita
lions to come again, and walked sadly
away, ininKing " w no is suincieni. ior
these things ?" and how can a simple mis
sionary exert an influence in these strong
ly fortified holds of the Arch-deceiver ? In
a Christian land one can form little idea of
what idolatry really is, or with how much
of learning, wealth, gorgeous display, and
attractive courtesy, It is bound around the
homes, the hearts, the affections, the very
lives of the heathen.
Be Cheerful. Emerson says : "Do
not hang a dismal creature on the wall, and
do not deal with fables and gloom in your
conversation." Beccher follows : "Away
with these fellows who go howling through
life and all the while passing for birds of
paradise. He that cannot laugh and be
gay should look well to himself. lie
should fast and pray until his face breaks
forth into light." Talmage then takes up
the strain : "Some people have an idea
that they comfort the afllicted when they
groan over them. Don't drive a hearse
through a man's soul, when you bind up a
broken bone of the soul. And you want
splints, do not make them of cast-iron."
After such counselings aud admouitions,
lay aside your long faces.
Brigham Y'oung has ordered his mission
aries in Europe to send over no more old
maids, as they are unprofitable converts.

Mother's House. How rcany happy
thoughts are culled up by those two beauti
ful words. Is there cau there be any
place so full of pleasant places, beneath the
I waving palms of sunny isles, or in tho chill
ing shadows of icy mountains, our heart
turns with unchangeable love and longing
lo the-dear old house which sheltered us in
our childhood. Kind friends may beckon
i us to newer seeats, and loving hearts may
: Liud us fast t pleisant homes, but we are
! cot satisfied with them alone, for there is
oos place more fair and lovely than them
all, and that is the beloved "Mother's
House."
It may be old and rickety, to the eye of
the stranger. The wiudows may have been
broken and patched long ago, and the floor
worn through and mended with pieces of
tin, but it is still mother's house, from
which he looked out at life with heart full
of hope,building wonderful castles in cloud
land which faded long ago ; but thanks to
the good Father, mother's house is left us
still, and, weary with the busy turmoil of .
life, weary ourselves, we turu our steps to
ward the dear house of rest, and at its
threshold lay our burdens down.
Here we have watched life come and go.
Here sre have folded still, cold hands over
hearts as still, that once beat full of love
for us. Here we have welcomed brothers
and bisters into life, watched for the first
lisping words from baby lips, guided the
tottering baby feet from helplessness to
manhood, and here we have watched, with .
aching hearts, to see the dear ones torn
from the home-nest out into a world which
has proved but a snare and temptation to
many wandering feet. And here we gather
strength to take upon our lives again, and
go on patiently unto the end. But though
the world calls us, and we may find friends
good and true, we turn to the dear old
home, when troubles come, for help and
comfort. God grant that for us all there
may long remain a "mother's house."
Mourning. One need not speak of the
monrning of the heart that will take care
of itself. I speak of the external signs.
There is a strange difference among the
nations. Among several of the most ad
vanced people, black dress has been chosen.
The great expense, the depressing influ
ence npon the spirit, and the bad effect of
this color upon the bodily conditions, have
been observed and argued against this me
thod of display.
Black is the worst color for Winter and
for Summer, for dry weather and for a
damp atmosphere. Altogether, the custom
of announcing grief through black clothes
seems to be the worst method ever devised.
It is gratifying to hear from intelligent
people, as one may not unfrcquently, that
under no circumstances would they dis
play a mourning dress. I will not say that
it is a flat contradiction of the Christian
faith. I will not say that it savors of os- "
tentation. I will not say that there is fre
quently a painful incongruity between the
mourning dress and the conduct of the wear
er ; but. I will say that a mourning dress
is un physiological, that it casts a shadow
over the spirit of the wearer, and cons tan t-
tv, reminds. Jiex nf hrr drnd ..tieiKL, and in
other ways tends towards aEpresKuu- iuG
general health and tone. I can't conceive
of a ir wriir-h I should try to express

such announcements. And thenu
the prescribed year has passed, the taper-
ing off in the shades of black, and the final
burst out in brilliant colors again, is so
absurd, that it seems quite unnecessary to
expose one's self ta the nececsity of adver
tising this graduated dying out of one's
sorrow. To-Dn y.

What Constitutes Success. The
young man who thinks he can carry his
! j,ranks iaio lhe scriou3 business of
life is not a man, and defrauds himself and
his employer. "After work, phy." That
satify the most sanguine. ''Business be
fore pleasure" is the motto of the prudent
man, whose guide is experience, and it is
sufficienl for tue novitiate in after life.
But it is despicable to see the young man
just starting in life so wedded to his former
enjoyments as to place them above present
duties. Yet this is often the case. The

There is no roval road to success an
more than to knowledge. He who would
succeed must work ; and there is more real
enjoyment in work which has a worthy ob
ject than in play or pleasure, intended to
kill time. We remarked a few days agi
lo a business man whose present means
are amply suflicient, but who worked real

ployees, that he ought to "take it eajy.w
