the vest majority Of all the men and wo-
men who have breathed the air of life
Is 1t this contemptuous, disparaging aud
| gloomy view Of our nature and ciroum-
stances that can animate love for our
Maker, sensibility to human wants, tender
ness to sinners, eager devotion TO human
improvement Why should we love those
whom God hates, or ay to the rescue Of
these He abaodons2 Why should we have
more patience than He has with the wicked,
or maintain our hopefuness of the race
when He repents Himself of its creation
ton :? Oh, brethren, these are bold
figures Of speech; words put in times
of earnest feeling into Gods mouth which
were neither designed to teach what
has been brought out of them
nor to discourage and humiliate. There is
no ground, and there never could be any
ground, of real contempt for human nature
as whole. Parts of it we despise as we
despise even the more necessary parts of
our bodies. The higher faculties sit in
judgment upon the lower. 1t is the nature
OF reason to upbraid the passions, but it is
the nature of the passions to continue their
existence in spite of reason. 1t is the
nature of conscience to upbraid every feel
ing that is beneath the highest we ever feel. |
Yet we can no more always feel as We do |
in our highest hours than we can stay at
the ceiling which by leap we touch with
our fioger-tips. lis the business of NOR
atty and piety to urge their cause, and
often with censorious and denunciatory
words. They cannot make sin too hateful;
they cannot upbraid folly and vice with
too singing tongue. Nothing has ever
been said of man so bad that 1t is not true
Of some men, and nothing so good that it
is not true of other men. But it is not
man, but God, we deride and condemn
when we deny the goodness of the nature
tie has given us, or despair of the race He
has created in His own nature.

A CINCINNATI HORROR.

An EstImRbIe Young LHdy Killed by Her
LONer-a Mysterious Gase.
The Cincinnati Times of Saturday has the fol-
lowing:-
About nine o'clock last night the citizens of
the west end OF CoyingtOn were startled by the
report that very estmable young lady--Miss
Philomeno Wellington been shot and
killed at her home on Philadelphia street, se
tween Seventh and Eighth streets, by her lover,
Frederick Koors 1t seems that Koors had
visited the young ladys house about eight
o'clock last evening, and fonnd that she had
gone to neighboring grocery for coal oil. He
took q seat in the kitchen and awaited her re-
turn. In about fifteen minutes she came back
and expressed some surprise seeing him there.
After conversing for short time the couple
went into an adjoining room, but were not there
long when the family, in another part of the
house, were started by the report of a pistol
and the screams of the young lady.
Upon rushing to the door of the room in
which the parties were, Mrs Wellington found
it locked, and heard her daughter screaming
for some one to open it. The door was finally
opened by Miss Welinghoff herself, who
turned the key. She then staggered out, eX-
claiming that Fred. had shot her aud that she
was diving.
Young Koors rushed franticaly out of the
house, and proceeded as fast as he could to
the residence of Father FrOelich, Catholic
priest, telling him that he had killed his sweet
heart but that he did not intend to do it; that
be didn't know there was anything in the
pistol.
Inc yOuDS WOuldu ulGu III aUOuJ ulGO0u
minutes after she was shot. The ball entered
her left breast, penetrating into the body.
Esquire Francis summoned jury, and held
an inquest on the body.
THE VERDICT.
We, the jury empaneled to hold an inquest
on the body of Philomena Wellinghoff au uu-
married woman about nineteen years of age,
find that the said Philomena Wellington came
to her death from wound from pisto-ball
discharged from pistol in the hands of Frede-
rick Koors, and that the handling of said pistol
by said Koors was either malicious or careless,
but as to which of these two the jury are di-
vided in opinion.
INTERVIEW WITH THE PRISONER.
We visited the city Jail this morning, and
found KooTs lying on a mattress in his cell. He
was quiet, but appeared to have spent restless
night.
He said that the shooting was purely acci-
dental; that Miss Wellington and he were In
the room together; that she was playing with
him, and that he pulled out his pistol for no
particular purpose whatever. She caught hold
of the barrel and was trying to wrest it from
! him when the weapon was discharged, but how
he did not know. He said he was engaged tC
be married to her in August next if everything
! went on right; that he had never quarrelled
! with her; was not jealous of any one; that she
| had no other suitor than himself
Koors is a very intelligent and good-lOoking
! young man. He is German, but speaks Eng
| lish quite fuently. Plis age is nineteen year,
! and three months. He is a clerk in the Office
of his father, who is a lumber merchant in Gin
| cinnat.
