Ar WHAT AaEs THE question is
often asked, what is the proper age at
which to be married Adam took Eve to
his bosom before he was year old, and
old Parr married at 100; we conclude
therefore, that any where between these
two points will answer!
FEMALE PuyaIcIAs.--The Massa-

Vermont Election.

Montpelier, Sept. 5.
Scattering returns from Windham, Rut-
land, Windsor, Addison, Chittenden,
Bennington, Washington, Orange, Frank
I'm and Caledonia counties Indicate that
Judge Boyce the Wing and anti-Nebras-
ka candidate is elected by tie peope over
Clark the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor.
A scattering vote was thrown Ill conse-
aueace of Judge Boyce's rather epuivo.
cal position Oh the temperance question.
Rvland Fletcher is elected Lieutenant
Governor by much larger majority, and
also Henry nj. Belts as State Treasurer.
Both these candidates were on the Wing
and Temperance tickets.
For Senators teh returns are given on.
Iy In few towns, but it Is evident tia,
the Wings elected their candidates in
Bennington, Wlndham, Rutland, and
w lnls9T COulll,es.
There are no returns from the other
counties.
The Union or anti Nebraska ticket to
Senators is probably elected III Chit,en
den and Washington counties.
| II is doubtful whether the Democrat
have elected single Senator.
There has been large gain OF whie
Representatives and there is scarce
doubt but that both branches OF the Leg
stature will have strong anti ebrask
malol.ty.

ALEXANDER HAMILToN.-In these DAYS OF yerv
progressive Democracy it has come to be usage
to speak lightly of the first Secretary of the Trea-
sury OF the United States, of whom Daniel Web
ster said -he breathed the breath of life into Am
erican commerce" Mr. Benton, in his Thirty
Years in the U. S. Senate, says OF Mr. Hamilton,
however:
He was the man most eminently and variouslv
endowed. of all the eminent men of his day: at
once soldier and statesman, with a head to con-
celve,. and a hand to execute writer an orator.
Jurist, an organizing mind, able to grasp the
greatest system; and administrative to execute the
smallest details; wholly turned to the practical
business of life, and with capacity for applica-
ton and production, which teemed with gigantic
labors, each worthy to be the sole product of a
single master intellect, but lavished in tters from
the ever teeming fecundity of his prolific genius.
Hard his fate, when withdrawing from public life
at the age of thirty four, he felt himself con-
strained to appeal TO posterity for that Justice
which contemporaries withheld from him. And
the appeal was not in cain. Statues rise TO his
memory, history embalms his name; posterity
will do Justice to the man who at the age of twen
ty was the principal and most confidential aid of
Washington" who retained the love and conf
Gence of the Father of his Country to the last:
and to whom honorable opponents while oppos-
ing his systems of policy, accorded honor and
patriotism, and social affections and transcendant
abilities.

SPEAK OF a MAN

Let us speak of man as we find HIM,
And censure alone what we see;
And II man blame. let's remind him,
That from faults we're none OF us free.
# the veil from the heart could be torn.
And the mind could be read on the brow,
There are many we'd pass by with scorn,
Whom we're lauding with high honors now.
Let us speak of man as we find him,
And heed not what others may say;
If he's frail, then kind word will bind him,
Where coldness would turn him away.
For the heart must be barren indeed.
Where no bud of repentance may bloom,
Then pause ere you cause it to bleed,
On smile or frown hangs its DOOM
