MARYLAND ELECTIoN.-We have a few returns
of the Congressional election, which took place in
Maryland last Monday. They are not complete,
but they indicate that the wings have carried the
LIST and 9th districts; the democrats the ID, 81 and
4th, and the 9th not heard from; the chances are
that it is wing. The probable result in the State
will be three wings and three democrats. In the
last Congress there were four wings and two demos
Gratis. Democratic gain one; which offsets the
loss in the western district of Rhode Island, and
leaves the majority in Congress still extremely
uncertain.
The last summary we made of the political re-
suits of the elections for the next Congress showed
LOG democrats Including Free-soi democrats and
lO7 wings Including Free-soil whigs.) Four va
cances, with Louisiana, Mississippi and Maryland
to elect. The vacancies in Vermont and Rhode
Island have been filled with wings; and a new
vacancy has arisen, by the death Of Newman

il impossible for either Of the great parties TO have

HISTORY OF THE SABBATH.

L he Creator has given us a natural restorative,
sleep; and moral restorative; Sabbath keep
ing and 1t is ruin to dispense with either. U1l-
der the pressure OF high excitement, individuals
have passed weeks together with but little sleep
or none; but when the process is long continued,
the over driven powers rebel, and fever deliri-
um and death comes on nor can the natural
amount be Systematically curtailed without cor
responding mischief. The Sabbath does not ar
rive like sleep. The day of rest docs not steal
over US like the hour OF slumber 1t does not
entrance us almost whether we will or lot but
addressing Us as intelligent beings, our Creator
assures Us that we need it, and bids us notice its
return, and court its renovation And if, going
Ill the face OF the Creators kindness, we force
ourselves to work all days alike, it is not long
till we pay the forfeit. The mental worker, the
man OF business, or the man of letters, find his
Ideas becoming turbid and slow: the cquipose OF
his faculties are UPSET; lie grows moody, ttful
and capricious; and with his mental elasticity
broken, should any disaster ocea1r he subsidies
into habitual melancholy, Or i'll self-dt sttuction
speeds his guilty exit from a gloomy world.
And the manual workers; the artisan, the engi-
neer; toiling on from day to day, and week to
week the bright intuition of his eye gets blunted
&torgetul Of their cunning, his fingers no longer
perform their teats of twinkling agility, nor by
plastic and tuneful touch. mould dead matter.
Or WELD mechanic power; hut minglng his life )
blood i'll this drudgery, his locks are premature
" gray, his genial hunor sours and shaving it
TILL he has become a morose or reckless man. for

TIE CHARMS OF LIFE.

There are thousand things in this world to
aliict and sadden, but how many that are beau
ttul and good. The world teens with beauty;
with objects which gladden. the eye and warm
the heart. We might be happy if we would.
There are ills that we cannot escape, the APP
proach of disease, death or misfortune, the sun
dering OF earthly ties and canker-worln of grief;
but a vast majority of the evils which beset us
might be avoided The curse of intemperance,
interviewer as it is with all the lgamenls of So
ciety, is one which never strikes but to destroy
There is not one bright page upon the record OF
Its progress-nothing to shield from the hearth
est eXecrations OF the human race. 1t should
not exist ; it must not. Do away with all this;
let wars come to an end, and let friendship,
charity, love, purity, and kindness mark the III
tercourse between man and man, We are too
selfish, as if the world was made for us alone.
How much happier should we be we We're to labor
much more earnestly to promote each others
good. God has blessed lis with a home which
is not all dark. There is sunshine everywhere;
i'll the sky, upon the earth there would be in
most hearts, if we would look around us. The
storms die away, and bright sun shines out
Summer drops her tinted curtain upon the earth,
which is very beautiful even When autumn
breathes her changing breath upon it. God
reigns in heaven. Murmur not a Being so boun-
tlfu and when we can live happier than we do.

MOUNT SIN Al.

This is the holy mountain, and among all the
stupendous works OF nature, not place can be
selected more fit for the exhibition of Almighty
power. | have stood upon the summit of the
giant Etna, and looked over the clouds floating
beneath it ; upon the bold scenery of Sicily, and
the giant mountain Of Caabria upon the top
OF Vesuvius, and looked upon the waves of lava.
but they are nothing compared with the terrible
solitude and bleak majesty of Sinai. An observ-
ing traveller has well called it a perfect tsea OF
desolation." Nota tree, OF shrub, OF blade OF
grass is to be seen upon the bare and rugged
sides OF lnnumerable mountains, heaving their
naked SUBMITS to the skies; while the crurn-
bling masses of granite all around, and the dis
tant view OF the Syrian desert, with its bound
less waste of .san1, form the widest and most
dreary, the most terrific and desolate picture
that imagination can conceive
The level surface of the very top or pinnacle
is about sixty feet square. AT one end is SIN
Gle rock about 20 feet high, OH which, as said
the monk, the spirit of God descended, while in
the creyice beneath, his favored servant received
the tables of the law, There or the spot where
they We're given, opened the sacred book in
which those laws are recorded, and read them
with feeling of deeper devotion, as if | were
standing nearer, and receiving them more di.
rectly from the Deity himself --Chombers.

SIGNIFICANT FAcT.-.-The N Orleans Crescent
publishes the report Of a committee appointed
for the purpose, ascertaining the number OF
deaths by Asiatic, Cholera which occurred among
the Sons of Temperance in that city, and the adj
joining towns during the recent epidemic. The
committee state that there are twelve hundred
and y-three members of the different diYis-
ions in New Orleans, Lafayette, Anglers, and
Gretna. In these divisions three deaths only oc-
CURED, and in some of them not a case of chole-
IA took place. Of those who died, one had been
a member but week, another less than month,
and the third was a Waterman who was much
Exposed. The proportion OF deaths in the city
was fifteen to every thousand souls, while in the
Sons of Temperance the proportion was one in

GOOD ADVICE.

John II. Prentiss, in his recent valedctory on
retiring from the editorial chair, which he had
filled for FORTY ONE YEARS, has the following:
No man should be without a well conducted
newspaper he is far behind the spirit of the age
unless he reads one, is not upon equal footing with
his fellow man who enjoys such advantage, ana is
disragardtul of his duty to his family, in not afford
ing them an opportunity of acquiring a knowledge
Of what is passing in the world, at the cheapest
possible teaching. Show me family without a
newspaper, and venture to say that there viii be
manifest in that family want Of amenity Of man
ners and indications Of ignorance, most strikingly
in contrast with the eighbor who allows himself
such rational Indulgence. Young men especl-
ally should read newspapers. If were boy,
even Of twelve years, / would read newspaper
weekly though Ihad to work by torchlight to earn
money enough to pay for it. The boy who reads
We'll will learn TO think and analyze and if he
Will almost sure to make man of himself, hating
vicious indulgencies, which reading is calculated
to bcget distaste fos.

A SINGULAR FAcr.-.-Take pup of the larg-
eve that has lanb confine the eve in a
small pen, and make the pup suck the eve
three or toar times, and you have done all that
is necessary. The pup will recognize the eve
as its mother, the eve will own the pup as her
offspring; and rear it up. A dog thus raised is
wilder and fiercer, and much more severe i'll
fight than the ordinary cur, and able to use up
all the wolves that can be produced. They, in
part, partake of the nature of the wild animal
and will subsist, like sheep upon vegetation.
We have friend in the sheep business i'll South
America, some 20 miles back from Montevideo,
who hasa large number of dogs with his flock,
and they afford complete protection. This is
the secret of raising shepherd ogs.---Eaehangc
