The Congressional Result.

The St. Louis Republican ot Nov. 9th, gives the following as the result in the election held the 2nd inst:
 A review of the Congressional returns shows that that the only unexpected feature of the election was the result of the Pennsylvania monopoly raids into Illinois, Ken lucky and Virginia. The status of the next Congress will show no material change from Democratic estimates. Our own estimate on the morning after the election, that the party majority in the Fiftieth Congress would be about twenty, is fully bourne out by the returns, which shows net Democratic loss Of only twelve members. The Democratic gains were in the states of Connecticut, Louisiana. Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebras- ka, New Hampshire, South Caro, lima, Tennessee and West Virginia The losses were in Illinois, lndi- ana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Wisconsin. The following table gives summary of the Forty ninth and Fiftieth Congresses, showing the political complexion of the several State delegations:

 And while we contemplate the intimate power of God in earth quake, flood and storm, let the grateful hearts of those who have been shielded from harm through his mercy be turned in sympathy and kindness toward those who have suffered through his visita- tions.
 Let us also in the midst of our thanksgiving, remember the poor and needy with cheerful gifts and aims, so that our services may, by deeds oI charity, be made accepta- ble in the sight of the Lord.
 In witness thereof, 1 have here. unto set my hand and caused tbe seal of the United States to be af. fixed.

 Do not Waver.

As there is a difference between tirmness and stubborness, 50 there Is difference between yielding and wayering. One may show strength ln gielding to good infu' ences, ust as one may show weak ness by yielding to bad influences; but wavering at any time is all in- dubitable sign of weakness. A waverer never conquers anything not even himself; he never satis. fies anybody--not even himself. A young lady on beng told that her mother had positively refused to grant her certain favor, re. marked: T am surprised at that, for mamma generally wavers.' Sue did rot say that her mother gener. ally yielded, or generally refused; she went deeper down than that in getting al the truth of the case
 She had, ,n fact, learned that key note of her mothers character when she was very young child. And many parent IS similarly understood. No one loses the re. spect of child more surely than a wavering parent or teacher. Doubt if you must, diSbelieve if you ought --bnt do not waver. Consult and consider, weigh or waiye--but, in one way or another come to Il decision .-S. $. Times.

A person in good physical condition is not liable to colds and will not fall victim to them unless he Is grossly careless. Keep the feet warm and dry, the head cool, the bowels and chest well protected; avoid exposure with an empty stomach. take care not to cool of too rapidly when heated; keep out ot draughts, wear liannelsi and with the exercise of little com mon sense in emergencies, colds will be rare.
