Nobility Of Character.

The habit OF acting from the highest
considerations is that which makes man
noble. Nobility may be conferred upon
men in only one way. The recognition
of it may be conferred upon them. The
king lays his sword on mans shoulder,
andralls him knight but he was a
knight before he' was knighted, or he
would not have received the title. Ii was
the heroic endurance, the deatb.defying
courage, the skin and the GOODNESS with
which he achieved his notable deeds, that
made him knight. lie was in himself
royal and noble, and the king, seeing it,
said to all men, see it, when he laid bis
sword on his shoulder. The thing itself
was wrought out. Ifyou make nobility
hereditary, see TO IT that you bring up
your children to be as noble as their
fathers were. Otherwise, nobility be-
comes a mere occasion. For mobiles sons
are oftentimes monkeys, they themselves
being clods. And where kingship, or
earlship, or knightship descends, as a
matter of course, ii may or may not de-
scend nobly. We have families In Amer
lea that, from fathers TO sons, are bistori-
cal, all Of them having the same superior
traits and excellencies; and those families
are noble. Nobility in the power of doing
everything, little great, from the high
est motives. II is not merely doing hard
things Many people seem to think that
nobility consists in doing something that
other people cannot do; but it consists in
bringing to bear motives which common
and Vulgar men do not know how to use.
ile that knows how TO do daily deeds
that every body does, from the top Of his
head, is noble. And that which he
achieves he achieves easily, because he
has long been IN the practice of acting
from the highest and noblest considera-
tons. Nalor, defiance of death, willing
ness to be sacrificed for ones country
these are bred in men; but they were in
htifhi btibfN bitN otNhNitH tuGtlt VI
they would mob have developed in them
The trouble Is not that we have no oppor-
tunities for beroism, but that the oppor-
tuuities come aud we do not recognize
them. God rings, and clears the stage,
aud no actor appears except some jester
who comes out trumpeting aud dancing
across the stage, and leaving no impress
ion. But the habit Of acting frem the
highest ranges Of motives is ready when
the occasion comes, and strikes the blow,
and speaks the word. or does the deed
aud many people say that the man is
hero, and envy him. Greatness is not an
accident Now and then man seems 10
come to II by accident; but 30 person
ever gains and keeps reputation for
nobility who has not acted daily aud
faithfully IRON the highest reason. n.

How did that homely woman contrive
TO get marriedy is not unfrequently re.
marked of some good domestic creature
whom her husband regards as the apple
ofhis eye, and IN whose plain fatc be sees
something better than beauty, Pretty
girls who are vain of their charms are
rather prone to make observations Of this
kind and consciousness Of the fact that
flowers of loveiness are often lefl TO pine
on the stem while weeds of homeliness
90 of readily, is no doubt in many cases
at the bottom Of the sneeripg question.
The truth is, that most men prefer home
illness and amiability to beauty and ca
price. Handsome women are apt to over
value themselves, and in waiting for an
immense bid occasionally overstcp the
market. Their plain sisters, on the con-
trary, aware of their personal deficiencies
generally lay themselves ont TO produce
an agreeable impression, and in most in
stances succeed. They don't aspire 10
capture paragons with princely fortunes,
but are willing to take anything respec-
table and loye.worthy that Providence
may throw in their way. The rock ahead
of your naughty Junos and coquctish
iIebes--is iastidiousness. They reject
and reject, until no one cares TO WOO
them. Men don't like TO be snubbed or
to be trfled with--a lesson that thousands
Of pretty women do learn TO late. Mrs
Hannah Moore, very excellent and pious
person, who knew whereof she wrote,
recommends every unmarried sister to
accept the offer Of the first good sensible
Christian lover who falls In her way. But
ladies whose mirror, aided by the glamour
Of vanity assures them they were born for
conquest, pay no heed TO such advice Ii
IL note worthy fact that homely girls
generally get better husbands than fall 10
the lot Of their false sisters. Men who are
caught merely by pretty face aud figure
do not, as a general rule, amount to much.
The practical, useful, thoughtful portion
of mankind is wisely content with unpre-
tending excellency.

A BLOODY DEED.
Attempt at Wholesale Murder--A Lunatic
shoots His Sister, Her Two Children and


hhhsoh' ratssaruaF eaH 1i .ss.u r-isat
The Louisville O0urioJ'-JOUrldS gives
the details of terrible shooting affair in
that city on Sunday, the 21st.
4 young man, Theodore Thome, for
some time giving SYMPTOMS of insanity,
was living with his brother-in-law, Mr.
Green, German living in the east end.
The Green family lived upstairs, over
the grocery store, and at ten o'clock yes
terday morning young Thome went into
the apartment where his sister and her two
daughters were, apparently in his usual
state of mind. Mr.. Green was also near
at hand, but there did not appear to have
been any suspicious in the minds of the
unfortunate young mans relatives that
he intended to commit any crime. After
n family talk with his sister, he, without
any threats-as far as we can ascertain
drew out seven-barreled revolver and
fired two shots at her in rapid succession.
One shot took effect in the pit of the
stomach, penetrating the intestines, and
the second shot in the hip. Uttering
piercing screams Mrs Green fell to the
floor, bathed in blood. Her daughter,
Wilhelmina, aged twelve years, ran for
ward to help her mother, and Thome, who
was now in paroxysm of insane and no.
mocidal frenzy, turned upon her, and de-
liberately shot her also in the pit of the
stomach, infiicting q very severe wound.
Another daughter, Lavinia, eight years of
age, also ran up, and was fired at by
Thome the shot striking her at the back
of the hip. Mr.. Green, hearing his wife
and daughters screaming, rushed into the
apartment, and was nearly paraliZed to
find them laying on the floor in pool of
blood, whilst Thome, whose eyes scintil-
lated with frenzy, as soon as he caught
sight of his brother-in-law, pointed the
weapon at and would have shot him too,
had not Mr.. Green managed to strike the
weapon to one side. At this Thome ex-
claimed in very excited manner, az
came here on purpose to kill you and all
the family !" and, baffied in his attempt to
shoot his brother-in-law, put the pistol to
the right side of his own head and fired,
but the ball, as it afterward appeared, only
grazed the bone and glanced off. He then
rushed past Mr.. Green like a maniac, and
went up the street as far as DIR. Cooks sur
gerry, on jefferson street.
Soon after the shooting had taken place
the whole neighborhood was aroused, and
DR.. Kerns hurried to the spot to give sur
gical aid to the sufferers. He stated that
the wounds of Mrs. Green and the eldest
daughter, Wilhelmina, are of q bad char
acter, and the bullets have not yet been
extracted. 1t is highly probable that they
will succumb to their injuries. The little
girl Lavinia is not so badly wounded, and
will recover.
Thome was taken from Cooks Office to
an insane asylum, where he is now con-
fined.
