NOBILITY OF CHARAcTER.-The hab-
it Of acting from the highest considera-
tions 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, and
calls him a knight; but he was knight
before he was knighted, or be would not
have received the title. IL was the he
roic endurance, the death-defying cour-
age, the skill and GOODNESS with which
he achieved his noble deeds, that made
him knight. He was in himself royal
and noble, and the king, seeing It, said
to all men, 81 see IT," when he laid his
sword on his shoulder. The thing itself
was wrought out. If you make nobility
hereditary. see to it that you bring up
your children to be as noble as their
fathers were. Otherwise, nobility be-
comes mere occasion. For mobiles sons
are ofiimes monkeys, they themselves
being clods. And where kingship, or
earlship, or knightship desc MS, as
matter Of course, it may or may not de-
scend nobly. We have families in Amer
lea that, from fathers 10 sons, are hlstor-
ical, all Of them having the same supe-
rior traits and excellencies; and those
families are noble. Nobility is the pow
er of doing everything, little or great,
from the highest motives. 1t is not
merely doing hard things. Many peo-
pie seem to think that nobility consists
in doing something that other people
cannot do /; but it consists 10 bringing to
bear motives which common and vulgar
men do not know how 10 USE he that
knows how to do daily deeds that every
body does, from the top of his head, IS
uoble. And that which he achieves
easily, because he has long been in the
practice of acting from the highest and
noblest considerations. Valor, defiance
of death, willing to be sacrificed tor
one country Ty-lntse are pTSu III IiCh
but they were in them before the occa-
sion found them, or they would not have
developed in them. The trouble is not
that we have no opportunities for hero
ism, but that the opportunities come and
we do not recognize them. God rings,
and clears the stage, and no actor APP
pears except some jester, who comes out
trumpeting and dancing across the stage,
and leaving no impression. But the hab-
it of acting from the highest ranges of
motives is ready when the occasion
comes, and strikes the blow, and speaks
the word, or does the deed; and many
people say that the man is hero, and
envy him. Greatness is not an accident.
Now and then man seems to come to
it by accident; but no person ever gains
and keeps reputation for nobility who
has not acted daily and faithfully from
the highest reasons.-H. W. Beecher.

John Adams was born in 1744, and she

Marriage.


riage relation occupies so much of the
public attention, the following views o:
the late Theodore Parker on this subject
are not without interest:
"Men and women, and especially
young people, do not know that it takes
years to marry completely two hearts,
even of the most loving and well-assort-
ed. But nature allows no sudden change.
We slope very gradually from the era
die to the summit of life. Marriage is
gradual, fra li,n of Us at time. A
happy wedlock is long falling in love.
| know young persons think love be-
longs only to the brown hair, and plump,
round, crimson cheeks. So it does for
its beginning, just as Mr. Washington
begins at Boston Bay. But the golden
marriage is part of love which the bri-
dial day knows nothing OF. Youth is the
tassel and silken flower of love, age is
the full corn, ripe anl sclid in the ear.
Beautiful is the morning of love, with
its prophetic crimson, violet, purple ano
gold, with its hopes of days that are to
come. Beautiful also is the evening of
love. with its glad remen.brances, and
its rain low side turned toward heaven
as we'll as earth. Young people marry
their nnpneitas in iappar apf o,anara

monty good match. They do it in.

with blue, and my over vehemence re-
quires to be little modified with some.
what of dullness and reserve When
these opposites come together to be wed,
they do not know it; each thinks the
other just like itself.
Old people never marry their oppo-
sites; they marry their simllars and form
calculation. Each of these two arrange
ments are very proper. In their long
journey, these two young opposites will
fall out by the way great many times,
and both get out of the road but each
will charm the other back again, and
by-and-by they will be agreed as to the
place they will go to and the road they
will go by, and become reconciled. The
man will be nobler and larger for being
associated with SO much humanity un-
like himself, and she will be nobler

ally; now a small fraction, then a large
fraction. Very few are married totally
and they only, think, after some forty

The Best Room"

There wea q parlor in the house, a room
To make you shudder with its prudiah gloom.
The furniture stood round with such an air.
There seemed an oldmlil'5 ghostin very chair
Each looked as it had scuttlel to its place,
And pulled cxtcmpore q Sunday face.
Too snugly proper for q world of sin,
Like boys on whom the minister comes in.
The table fronting you with icy stare,
Strovo to look witless that its legs were bare,
While the black sofa, with its horse hair pail,
GloOmed like the bier for comforts funeral.
Two pictures gracod the wall in grimmost truth
Mister and Mistress W, in their youth
New England youth, that seems sort Of pill
Half wish dared, half Edwards on the Will,
Bitter to swallow, and which leaves trace
OF Calvinistic collie on the face
Between them, DER the mantel, hung in state
Solomon's temple done in copper-plate;
Invention pure, but meant, we may presume,
To give same Scripture sanction to the room.
Facing this last two samples You might see,
Each with its urn and stifiy weeping tree,
Devoted to some memory long ago.
More faded than their lines of worsted woe
Cut paper dockel the frames against the flies,
Though none e'cr dared an entrance who were
wise.
And pushed asparagus in fading green
Added its shiver to the Franklin clean.
When first arrived, J. chilled a half hour there
Nor dared leftover with uso single chair;
caught no cold, yet flying pains could find
For weeks in me-a rheumatism Of mind.
