Go to Italy and you find that no name calls forth such praise as that of Garibaldi. The reason is that he consecra ted himself to the cause of Italy. In the path of duty we always find God, and to find God is to have success. We need no other secret of success than this. Richard Baxter was not eminent for his learning ye* he had more influence over English thought than any of his compeers. Wes ley and Whitefleld will be remembered long after other great names of their day are forgotten, because they worked in God's ways and were consecrated men. Therefore, my brethren, light not against the banner of the cross, for it is yet to be the banner -of the world.

" THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS PAPER." THE NEW YORK TRI BUNE FOR 1880. During the coming Presidential year The Tribune will be a more effective agency than ever for telling the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From the day the war closed It hns been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist, ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Holid Bouth and Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy; and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevre fit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned hack; every doubtful state has been won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak most enthusiastically who have seen mest of the struggle. It will faithfully portray the yarning phases of the campaign now beginning. It will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a good President. But in this crisis it can conceiye of no nomination this party could make that would not he preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by the Solid South and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labo and money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best people. It secured, and means to retain it by be coming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freces discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju dices of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the best correspondent*, and retains them from year to year, It is tiie only paper that maintains a special telegraphic tm-e of its own between its office and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its hook reviews are the best. Its commercial and financial ne*"7S 1* the most exact Its type is the largest; and iu ar rangement the mosTSystematic. THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRJBUN is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly In the country, haying fonr times the circulation of any other in New York. It Is especially adapted to the large class of intelligent, professional or business readers too far from New York to depend on our papers for the dally news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tific mnttcr, lectures, literary mlscellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly . it contains sixteen pages, and is in for binding, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE V* remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and has the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper in New York, or, so far as we know, in the United States. It revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricnltural de fmrtment is more carefully conducted than ever, and t has always been considered the best. Its market reports are the official standard for the Dairymen's Association, and have long been recognized author ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions In knitting, crochet ing, and Kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who -have returned to it during the past year Is that they f find it better than ever.
