The Glorious Result i'm Maine.

The vote in Maine is large and will reach
about 10000, considerably larger than
ever before. For Governor in 22O towns
the returns foot up 81, ,545 for Washburne,
4S,s34 for Smart, and 1924 for Barnes,
the Bell candidate. Washburne's majority
as far as heard, 5000. Republican ma
jority in the State last year, ,s43. The
returns to come in will probably increase
the Republican majority.
The Republican candidates for Congress
are all elected by increased majorities. The
majorites are nearly as follows:
i. John N. Goodwin by 1867 Thomas N. Hayes
II. Charles ". " alton by 5000 over Calvin Record.
Ill Samuel c. Fessenden by 900 over Alfred W. John
". Anson p. Morrill, by 5000 over B. A. G. Fuller.
V. John H. Rice by $500 over S. II. Blake.
VI. Frederick A. Pike by 300 over Bion Bradbury.
The Senate consists of 81 members and
is unanimously Republican.
The last House consisted of 119 Repub
licans and 80 Democrats. This was
thought hard to beat; but there are proba
bly, not over 25 Democrats elected this year
Thus far, the returns are "a Republicans
IL Democrats. 10 one township there is
q tie.
Hampden, the home of Hamlin, gave
last year sl9 Republican to 214 Demo
cratic votes. This year, Washburne 36s
Smart 1877, Barnes 8, showing large Re
publican increase and a Democratic falling
off.

A thought for YOnng Men.

More may be learned by devoting few
moments daily to reading, than is COM
monty supposed. Five pages may be read
in fifteen minutes, at which rate one may
peruse twenty-six volumes of two hundred
pages each in year. You say you have
none to guide you. The best scholars and
men of science will tell you by far the
most valuable part of their education is
that which they have given themselves
Volumes have been filled with the autobi-
ography of self-taught men. Think of
Franklin, the printer; of Lime, the shoe
maker; of John Hunter, the cabinetmaker
of Herschel, the musician; of Donald the
weaver; of Turner, the printer; of Burritt,
the blacksmith. Love learning, and you
will be learned. Where there is will
there will be a way.
Begin at once, take time by the forelock,
and remember that it is only the first step
that costs, aud having begun, resolve to
learn something every day. Strike the
blow, and avoid the weakness of those who
spend half of life in thinking what they
shall do next. Always have volume
near you which you may catch up at such
odd minutes as are your own. 1t is in
creditable, until trial has been made, how
much real knowledge may be acquired in
those broken fragments Of time, which are
like the dust of gold and diamond.

Not Alone. When Alone.

Alone! say not l am alone! Do you
not see that little sunbeam dancing so
gracefully! 1t peeps ever and anon O.
yer my shoulder, and now shrieks back
as if blushing to see itself the subject
of eulogism. Welcome, sunbeam! for
thou hast come from world far bright
er than this; tis thou who oldest on the
angels crown, and throwest halo of light
where'er thou dwellest. The ocean vel
comes thee, and ceases for while its heav-
ing; for to its bosom sacred guest is clasp
ed. The sea-nymphs WOO thy gaze; the
untold wealth of the sea thou beholdest,
while man cannot give one glance at the
many mysteries and beauties concealed in
its profound depths. Thou hast come to
bring good tidings to the weary, and thou
whisper est, "There is rest in heaven
And thou visited the lonely cell, too,
where the poor criminal is incarcerated in
chains; thou art kind indeed, to think of
him; to cheer the unfortunate.- MISS

The Leviaihan of the Air.

Prof. Lowe, sailed from Philadelphia for
Europe the other day, in balloon which
is statiscalIy described by the North Amer
ican::
The vast machine is made of $1,000
yards of linen canvas, oiled and vanished,
and enclosed in net of fax twine, on the
strength of which the balloon depends,
more than on the strength of the canvas
itself, as the net keeps the machine within
proper bounds. The ballon, when filled,
will contain 725,oO0 cubic feet of gas;
and the filling of it costs, as we are in
formed, about sl7OO. The lifting power
is twenty-five and half tons The earl in
which the voyagers will be placed is made
of basket work and beneath that is sus-
pended one of Francis life boats, with
masts and sails complete for sea service if
there should be any descent into the At
lantic. The gas in the great canvas receiv-
er expands under the influence of the suns
rays, so that it is not to be quiet filled,
but it contracts with the coolness of the
night, and the balloon sinks when the bal

cient altitude. Professor Lowe assert that
at certain height-say three miles per-
pendicular-there is a steady current of
air forever blowing from west to east, which
he thinks will take him to Europe in two
days-but say from two to five days, and a
wonderful voyage will be accomplished
Then there is a counter or return current
beneath, which blows from west 10 east,
that will bring him back again. These
currents are steady, and when it is remem-
bered that the earth, in turning on its axis
in this latitude, goes at the rate of 600
miles an hour, it is manifest that the cur
rents we have alluded to must be tolerably
strong. The gas will escape little, for it
is not profitable to make so very large .
bag impermeable, And then a vapor IS
produced inside which also reduces the gas.
These are contingencies to be provided for.

Making Fan.

Once when travelling in stage coach l
met young lady who seemed to be upon
the constant look out fore something
laughable; and not content with laughing
herself, took great pains to make others do
the same.
Now, travelling in stage coach is rather
prosy business. People in this sitution
are apt to show themselves peevish and
selfish; so the young lady's good humor
was for time, very agreeable to the trav-
elers. Every old barn was made the sub
ject of passing joke, while the cows and
hens looked demurely on, little dreaming
that folks could be merry at their expense.
Animals are not sensitive in that respect.
They are not likely to have their feelings
injured because people make fun of them;
but when we come to human beings that
is quite another thing. So it seemed to
me; for after a while an old woman came
running across the fields, swinging her bag
at the coachman, and in shrill voice beg
ging him to stop.
The good natured coachman drew up his
horses, and the good old lady coming to the
fence by the roadside, squeezed herself
through two bars, which were not only in
horizontal position, but very near to-
gether. The young lady in the stage
coach made some ludicrous remark, and
the passengers laughed. 1t seemed very
excusable; for in getting through the fence
the poor woman had made sad work with
her old black bonnet, and now taking q
seat beside well-dressed lady, really look
ed as if she had been blown there by
whirlwind. This was new piece of fun,
and the girl made the most of it. She
caricatured the old lady upon a card; pre-
tended, when she was not looking, to take
patterns of her bonnet, and in various 9TH
er ways tried to raise laugh. At length
the poor woman turned pale face toward
her.
"My dear, you are young, healthy and
happy; have been so too, but that time
has past; am now decrept and forlorn.-
This coach is taking me to the death-bed
of my child. And then, my dear, l shall
be poor old woman, ali alone in the
world where merry girls think me very
amusing object. They laugh at my old
fashioned clothes and old appearance, fors
getting that the old woman has spirit
that has loved and suffered and will live
forever" t 's.'iI
The coach now stopped before poor
looking house, and the old lady feebly de-
scended the steps.
sHow is she" was the first trembling in
quiry of the poor mother. -1
"Just alive" said the man who was lead.
ing her into the house. a--J
Putting up the steps, the driver mount
ed his box, and we were on the read again.
Our merry young friend had her card in
her pocket. She was leaning her head up
on her hand; and you may be assured l
was not sorry to see tear upon her fair
cheek. 1t was good lesson, and one
which we hoped would do her good.

PORTLAND, Sept. IL, 1860.

Dear Stephen-I am glad you got my

trouble you. You shouldn't set your heart
too much on being President. It's all van

Man would say, if he was alive, that ex-

you than to get to be President.
It is my luck to get right into politics, if
l stay at home or go anywhere nowadays.
They've had an election here. The Black
Republicans are higher over it than they
were up in Vermont. They are yelling,
and torch-lighting, and hooraying, and act
ing rather foolish, it seems 10 me. / am
