THE MAINE ELECTION.

The Maine election is the principal topic
in our exchanges. Our victory is fully ap-
preciated in other States. The New Hamp-
shire Statesman says of it: The result
of the fierce struggle is of character to
afford Joy to all true republicans, and to
carry dismay into the camp of the enemy"
The Chicago Journal says: "If Liberal
ism ever had any backbone, it has now
been brokep. What Sherman's march to
the sea was to the Confederacy, the re-
turns from Maine are to Greeley. That
terrible "tidal wave" was not even rip
pie"
The Providence Journal says: 1--WE are
not given to prediction, but if all the signs
do not fail, the coalition may read its fate
in the Maine election. No State can be
more thoroughly canvassed than that has
been. The election that has just been
held was regarded as of the highest i'm
portance, not merely in itself but in its
influence on the coming elections. Each
side did its best, and the Greeleyites wasted
on the canvass lies enough to have lasted,
with reasonable economy, for whole
presidential election. Thus Maine follows
Vermont.
The Albany Journal is jubilant over the
result. 1t says: sin many respects the
glorious triumph in Maine is the most sig
nifcant and important of all the victories
yet recorded. 1t is the more exhilerating
because it exceeds our most sanguine an
ticipations--the more important because
It fairly blasts and crushes the hopes OF
the coalitionists. The republicans of IL
country did not look for o majority as
large as this by several thousands, while
our adversaries secuted even the more
modest claim as grossly exaggerated
1t is a proyerb, perpetuated in song ant
attested by history, that the result in Main
foreshadows the result in the nation. 1t i
pre-eminently true at the present time
The partizan of Greeley is blind, indeed
who does not see the handwriting on th
wall. Mr.. Greeley is to be the wors

A DEFENCE OF PRETTY WOMEN.

After all, is the world SO very alb
surd in its love of pretty woman?
Is women so very ridiculous ir her
chase after beauty? A pretty woman
is doing wonian's work in the world ,
but not making speeches, nor making
puddinSs, but making life SUMMER
and more beautiful. Man has for
sworn the pursuit of beauty altogeth-
er. Does he seek it for himself, he
is guessed to be frivolous, he is
guessed to be poetic. there are
whispers that his morals are no bet
ter than they should be. In society
resolute to be ugly there is no post
for an Adonis, but that of model or
guardsman. But woman does for
mankind what man has ceased to do.
Her aim from childhood is to be
beautiful. Even as school girl she
notes the progress of her charms, the
deepening color Of her hair, the grow
ing symmetry of her arm, the ripen-
ing contour of her cheek. We watch,
with silent interest, the mysterious
reveries of the maiden; she is dream
ing of coming beauty, and painting
for the glories of eighteen. Insensi-
bly,, she becomes an artist, her room
is q studio. her glass an academy.
The JOY of her toilet is the JOY Of
Raphael over his canvas. of Michael
Augelo over his marble. She is
creating beauty in the silence and
the loneliness of her chamber; she
grows like any art-creation. the re-
suit of patience, of hope. of a thou
sand delicate toucbings Woman is
never perfect; never complete. A
restless night undoes the beauty of
the day; sunshine blurs the evan
escent coloring of her cheek; frost
nips the tender outlines of her face
into sudden harshness. Care plows
its lines across her brow; mother
hood destroys the elastic lightness of
her form; the bloom of her cheek,
the quick fash Of her eye, fade and
as the years go by. But
woman is still true to her ideal. She
won't know when she is beaten, and
she manages to steal fresh victories
even in her dofeat She invents new
of womanly grace; she
rallies at forty, and fronts US with
the beauty of womanhood; she makes
q last stand at sixty. with the beauty
of age. She lalls like Cesar, wrap
ping her mantle round her-''buried
in woolen! 'twould saint provokew
Death listens pitifuily to the longings
of a lifetime, and the wrinkled face ,
smiles with something of the pref
tiness of eighteen.

Character.

Many a man, with the aid of dress,
appears on the street to be in perfect
health, and we can never tell, until we
have lived with him under the same
roof, and sat with him at the same table,
that his hair was another's, that one eye
was of glass, that one limb was of cork,
and that after every meal he was racked
with dyspeptic pains; that for the first
hour or two of every morning he was
racked with the cough of a chronic
bronchitis. and never knows what 1t Is
to enjoy full nights refreshing sleep.
So it is with the characters of men.
We may visit them and they may visit
us; we may be in the same church Tor
wears, and transact much public bust
ness together, but it is impossible
form any true estimate of a mans prin-
ciples until we have had an opportunity
of trusting him and he of trusting US.
The truth is, no man can be assured
that he is en- honest man until he has
had an opportunity of cheating his
friend out of a thousand dollars without
being found out-and didn't do it. No
wonder the Bible cautions us all to go
softly" and "let him that standeth
take heed lest he fall.

Weights and Ages.

Somebody who has been studying
our weightsr reports that, "upOn an
average, boys at birth weigh little
more, and girls little less, than SIX
pounds and half. For the first two
years the two sexes continue nearly
equal in weight, but beyond that time
males acquire decided prepOnderance.
Thus young men of twenty average
one hundred and forty-three pounds
each, while the young women of
twenty average one hundred and twen-
ty pounds. Men reach their heaviest
bulk at about thirty-five, when they
average about one hundred and sixty
two pounds; but women slowly in
crease in weight until fifty, when their
average is one hundred and fOrty-nine
pounds. Taking men and women to-
gether, their weight at full growth
averages about twenty times as heavy
as they were on the first day of their
existence. Men range from one hun
dred and eight to two hundred pounds,
women from lightweight 20 two hun
dred and seven pounds. The actual
weight of human nature, taking the
average of all ages and conditions
mobiles, clergy, thinkers, maidens, boys,
girls and babies, all included, is very
nearly one hundred pounds. These
figures are given as asavoirdupois weight
but the advocates of the superiority ol
women might make a nice point of in
PRODUCING the rule that women be
weighed by Troy weight-like Other
jewels-and men avoirdupois. The
figures will then stand; young men Ol
twenty, one hundred and forty three
pounds each; young women of TWEEN
ty, one hundred and sixty pounds.

Wear and Repair Of the Brain.

The notion that those who work only
with their brains need less food than
those who work with their hands has
been the cause of much untold mischief.
Students and literary men have often
been the victims of "a slow starvation,
from their Ignorance of the fact that
mental labor causes greater waste of
tissue than muscular. According TO
careful estimates, three hours of hard
study wears out the body more than
whole day of work at an anvil or on
farm. "Without phosphorus, no
thought" is German saying; ani
the consumption of that essential in-
gredient of the brain increases accord
ing to rre amonnt of iapOr which the
organ IN required TO perform. This wear
and tear of the brain Is easily measured
by careful examination of the salt in
the liquid eXcretiOns. The importance
OF the brain rs a working organ is
shown by the amount OF blood i: re-
ceives, which is proportionally greater
than that OF any other part of the
body. One-fiith of the blood goes to
the brain. throngh its average weight
of the body. This fact alone would be
sufficient to prove that brsin-workers
need more food and better than me-
chanics and farm laborers.
