MEMORIES OF AUNT
MARGARET.

Aunt Margaret was neither handsome
nor homely. She had that which is bet
ter than beauty, and which gives to
comparative ugliness redeeming inter-
est and grace, which is charming and
winning even unto age 1t was the
placid, beautiful expression upon her
countenance, an unmistakable evidence
of warm and loving heart. Unosten-
tatious, and even without enthusiasm in
its demonstrations, it burned with an
untading affection for those whom she
truly esteemed, and hardened not itself
against those, who, without claim to
merit, we're wont to enter her associa-
aions. | am often reminded of her, and
upon every previous memory that comes
up, ponder in my heart, that thereby
] may become more and more after her
own similitude--so just, so firm, yet
withal SO kind, gentle and forgiving.
She seemed to possess an intuitive ap-
probation Of character; before the scru-
tiny of her mild, penetrating eye, de-
ception was forced to unveiI itself to
her its covering was but dimsiness and
vanity.
have known but few women in the
world even resembling her, yet almost
every one has for once known her like,
and has seen and acknowledged in the
illustrative character, the heavenly per-
fection of womaniy nature. But if all
hearts were open to the eyes of the
world, we would be convinced that such
quiet goodness, and, in one sense, wor-
dly wisdom, was acquired only in a
school oftrial and sorrow. / never
knew this, or suspected it, while it was
permitted me to live with and love my
Aunt Margaret. tits only since have
grown to womanhood, since have learn
ed by experience sad truths even of the
poetry oflife, that / have known how
properly to estimate the influence Of cir
cumstances upon a character like hers
although the circumstances them
selves were before not all unknown to
me. But since the snowy shroud has
covered the pulseless heart once so con-
siderately affectionate. and, the cold
clod pressed upon the clay that enshrin-
ed so loving and beautiful spirit, re-

whose defeat is with me the paramount OBJ

have, therefore, declined TO commit my
self to the support of any one until could b.
better informed as to the individual who
might be most successful in effvcting such a
result.
10 my recent visit to several watering pla-
ces in the mountains OF Virginia, 1 had an
opportunity of seeing ana conversing with u
number of gentlemen of intelligence, from
most OF the Southern States, and among
them were the friends of Breckenridge, Doug

formation thus obtained, and other sources OF
intelligence, am satisfied that Bell and Ev-
erett stand the best chance 10 defeat the black
republican Lincoln, aud have determined TO
give them my support.

from $50 cities, townships. and plantations
in Maine. They foot up for WAsnBURN, Re.

A, s34; BARNES, Union, l,224. Last year the
Republican vote was 81 $50; Democratic
45 ,3S7. The returns yet to come in will in
crease the Republican majority slightly. 1t
is singular that the Republican vote alone
has increased, and increased SO largely. We
don't see how this could have been effected
in any other way than by the Breckenridge
Yaneey men voting for the Republican can
didate as means Of injuring Douglas. In
regard to the Congressional and Legislative
electors, the tribune says:
The Republican candidates for Congress
are elected by m8ioritieS very nearly as fol-
lows:
1. John N Goodwin by 1,667 over Thomas
NJ. Hayes.
II. Charles ". Walton by 5000 over Calvin

G. Fuller.
V. John II. Rice by 800 over S. II. Blake.
vi. Frederick A. Pike by 1880 over Bion
Bradbury.
We believe no one Of the members inst
elected has ever yet been in Congress. Ger
tainIy no one is u member OF the present
House. Mr.. Morrill, is the present Governor.
The Senate consists of 81 members, and is
unanimously Republican.
The last House consisted of 1l9 Republi-
cans and 80 democrats. This was thought
hard to beat; but there are probably not over
25 Democrats elected this year. Thus far,
the returns are 81 Republicans, IL Demo
