A GPe1f Man,

The highest rnd noblest conception which
We can form of great man, is one who un-
derstands the power of his own soul, and is
continually exerting that power for the prom
otion of good; who cherishes deep and So
lemn sense of the sacredness of duty, be the
consequence ever so injurious to his interests;
who in matters religion lends naught but a
deaf ear to the loud voices of secls, naught
but blind eye to all party creeds but scans
the works of nature the revleation ofscripture
and the yearnings of the human heart, who
gives all truth welcome, however it may
conflict with his pride; who is ever ready to
execute in1exible, justice, how much soever it
may affect his interest; who rebukes all evil
doing, however high the transgressor may
stand, whose sympathies always cspouse the
cause of the oppressed, the down trodden and
the injured, Rev G. Collins,

Rest Joke of the Season.

About the time of the exitement in the vii
lage of Kalamazoo, about the sudden death of
eight or nine of those who took tea at the ex-
change, of that place, family of Hollanders
arrived in town. As a matter of course the
excitement ran high; the authorities of the
town mustered together thousand feet of
lumber and erected pest house in seclud-
ed spot in the forest into which they hustled
the Hollanders with as little delay as possible
notwithstanding the postestation of one them
who appeared to be leader, who asserted
that be had money enough to stay in any
place. They were kept there for about three
weeks, and on being released from their tenn
porary prison, one of them commenced the
operation of purchasing property. He began
upon Ex-Governor RANSOM and bought him
out at $4,000. He then bought out the
Judge of the Court, (Hezekiah G. Wells,) at
$4,000 Henry Edwards was subsequently
bought out, and at last accounts, his lordship
of the pest house, was after Gen. Humphrey,
Hon. Charles E, Stuart. Gen Maffat, Col. Van
De Walker, and various others of the promi-
nent dignities of that region. To wind up
With, be informed the gentlemen that there
were few more coming shortly 0ho aOouLd

a remarkable fact, that nearly or quite the
whole of this increase occurs in the Second

contained only about 21 GOO, and WILL, by the
present census, have about $4,000 thus near

Fire in the Penitcntiarv.

A fire broke out this forenoon in a dry house
attached to the west, or rather north end OF
the west workshop building. No great dam
age was done as the fremen were early on the
ground 1t would'bo just as well it strikes US,
ifthe dry house hereafter was detached from
the other buildings, or placed outside of the
walls.
We learn since writing the above, that Mr..
Pinney's loss in articles in the building will
amount to from one to two thousand dollars.

CHARAcTER.-We may Judge of mans
character by what he loves-what pleascs
him. If a person manifest delight in low and
sordid objects the vulgar songs and debas-
ing language-in the misfortune of his fellows
or cruelty to animals, we may at once deter
mine the complexion of his character On
the contrary, if he loves purity, modesty, truth
If virtuous pursuits engage his heart and
draw out his affections-we are satisfied that
he is an upright man.

The Philadelphia Bulletin, in an article en-
titled, "The True View of Womanhood, !" thus
discourses: "Thre is no inferiority, as whole
in others sex. Each differs from its opposite,
man from woman, as woman from man: but
in this very difference consists, when they are
in marriage the harmony of existence. AS the
deep bass of the one joined to the birdlike
treble of the other, constitutes the highest
kind of music, so man and woman, by sweet
est concert move on in heavenly harmony,
when both are true to themselves and the real
duties of life''
