The Wife.

1t needs no guilt to break husbands
heart. The absence of content, the mutter-
ings of spleen, the un:idy dress and cheerless
home, the torbidding scowl and deserted
hearth-these, and other nameless neglects,
without them, have narrowed to the quick of
the hearts core of many man, and planted
there, beyond the reach of cure, the germ Of
dark despair. o, may women, before that
sight arrives, dwell on the recollection of her
youth, and cherishing the dear idea of that
tuneful time, awaken and keep alive the
promise she SO kindly gave. And though
she may be the injured, not the injuring one
the forgotten and not the forgetting wife
"a happy allusion to the hour of peaceful
love-a kindly welcome to comfortable
home-a smile of love to Danish hostile
words-a kiss Of peace to pardon all the past
and the hardest heart that ever locked itself
within the breast of selfish men, will soften
to her charms, aud bid her live,-as she had
hoped, her years Of matcnless bliss-ioved
loving and content-the source of comfort
and the spring of joy.-Chambcrs' Jou'nai.

Stray Thoughts on Political Subjects.

POLITICAL POLYGAMY.-Onlya year or two
since Mr.. Douglas formed matrimonial alli-
ance with a famous Washington beauty, and
now he is reported to be on a journey South
to form union with another we'll known
Southern BeH(eJ.
THE PRoDIGAL'S RETURN.-The Little Gi-
ants heralded return to his anxious mother
after a long absence is accounted for by the
fact that his respected Uncle Samuel has no
Iur,her employment for him.
An ASTRONOMICAL SUGGESTIoN--It is now
whispered that the reason why the Douglas
committee finally nominated Herschel for
Vice President was because they expected to
see stars after the election.
\ LEGAL EXCUsE-Those who complain
of the length of time Mr.. Douglas has been
on his way to the maternal mansion do not
consider the shortnese of his legs. Mr.. Ben
ton long since declared he never could be
President, "because his coat-tails were SO
near the ground. "-Boston Journal.
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1860-09-21
From the New York Tribune.

n more admirable statement of political
creed was never made than is contained in
brief speech of Mr.. Stewards, delivered the
other day at Madison, Wis:
1t has been by simple rule of interpreta-
ton l have studied the constitution of mv
country. That rule has been simply this
That by no word, no act, no combination in
to which might enter should any one hui
man being of all the generations to which |
belong, much less any class of human beings
of any nation, race or kindred, be oppressed
or kept down III the least degree in their ef
forts to rise to higher state of liberty and
happiness. (AppIause.) Amid all the gloss
es of the times, amid all the essays and dis
cussions to which the constitution of the Uni
Ted States has been subjected, this has been
} the simple, PLAIN, broad light in which have
read every article and every section of that
great instrument. Whenever it requires of
me that this hand shall keep down the hum
best of the human race, then | will lay down
power, place, position, fame, everything rath-
er than adopt such construction or such a
rule. (Applause.) If therefore, in this land
there are any who would rise, say to them,
in Gods name, good speed. If there are in
foreign lands people who would improve
their condition by emigration. or if there be
any heie who would 60 abroad in search of
happiness, in the Improvement of their con-
di,icn, or i'll their elevation towards higher
state of dignity and happiness. they have al
ways had.and they always shall have cheer
ing word AID such efforts as can consistent
ly make in their behalf. (Applause.)
What noble sentiments and what fitting
words. Here, in these few terse periods, is
condensed at onre the loftiest political wis
dom and the most generous utterance of the
human heart. Mr.. Seward has said many
things that future ages will gladly remember
but in all the records of eloquence, wheth-
er of his or other mems it would be difficult
to find a lofiier passage than this.

The Maine Election.

Nobly has Maine followed up the victory
of her sister state, Vermont. Indeed, she
has been emulous to do little better and if
she has not succeeded it is no fault of the
stcrlirg Republicans of that state. They
have again asserted their supremacy by Civ
Ing majority tha; will range from sixteen
to twenty thousand. They have undoubted-
ly elected every member of Congress, their
whole ticket for state officers and a majority
OF the members of the Legislature. The tri-
umph is sweeping.
The Democracy have largely built their
hopes upon Maine. There thev were united.
There Douglas had laid out The work and
set the ball in motion. The Democratic cam
didate for Governor early took the stump
and set the ball in motion. The Democratic
candidate for Governor early took the stump
and did what he could to prepare the way
for tultiilmen, Of his promise of 10000 ma
jori,y tor Douglas in November Every
thing seemed to favor them. The Peck de.
facaton-,he rascality of single man-was
made a reproach upon the Republican party.
Again, the Republicans started the campaign
Father alphabetically. Their Congressional
nominees were nearly all new men, and otn-
er circumstances induced at first some mis-
giyings as to the result. Yet with all these
drawbacks they soon got up an enthusiasm
which showed that their hearts were in the
work. And they have rolled up a majority
which will cheer the hearts of the Repubii-
cans in every other state. The gathering
hosts of free labor will hail her motto, "Diri-
go"-"I direct" with enthusiasm, and will be
ready to follow where she leads With
Maine and Vermont in advance the Republi-
cans will now push on the column steadily to
the glorious victory in November.-Boston
