THE TRUE WoMAN.-The true woman
for whose ambition husbands alteration
is sufficient; who applies her military in
stincts to discipline her households and
whose legislative faculties exercise them
selves in making laws for the nursery
whose intellect has field enough for her
in communion with her husband; and
whose heart asks no other honors than
his love and admiration; a woman who
does not think it weakness to attend to
her toilet, and who does not disdain to be
beautiful, who believes in the virtne OF
glossy hair, and fitting gowns, and eschews
rents, raveled edges, slip shod shoes and
audacious makeups; awoman who speaks
low and does not speak much; who is pa
tient, gentle and industrious; who loves
more than she reasons and does not love
blindIy; who never scolds and rarely ar
CUES, but adjusts with smile; woman
who is the wife we all dreamed Of once in
our life. and who is the mother we still
worship in the backward distance of the
past-such woman as this does more
for womaas cause, and more for human
nature than all the barristers, Judges and
members Of parliament put together. God
given and God blessed such a one is In

True Greatness.

Chief Justice Marshall was in the hab-
it of going to market himself and carry
ing home his purchases. Frequently he
would be seen returning home at sunrise
with poultry in one hand and vegetables
in the other. On one occasion fash
ionably dressed young gentleman from the
North, who had recently removed to Rich
mond was swearing violently because he
could get no one 10 carry home his turkey.
Marshall stepped up, and asking him
where he lived, said:
'That's on my way, | will take it for
you"
When they came to his house the young
man said, ''what shall pay you!"

The Grave of Henry CLAY

The editor of the Fort Wayne Times
has been on journey through Kentucky,
and went to pay his devotions to the grave
of Henry Clay. In the cemetery, not far
from Lexington, he searched for it first
among those covered with entabled slabs,
obelisks, pyramids and imposing monu-
ments, but the name was found on none
of these; he sought it among less impo-
sing tablets. but found it not, A lad at
last led him to the spot where q little
mound, marked only by the path worn
worn by the footprints of devoted coun-
trymen, told that the great Commoner
still lived in the hearts of his people.
Near by was the monument affectionately
inscribed by Mr.. Clay to his mother. On
an adjoining eminence-which is beau
tiful site, with an area of half an acre. cir
cular in form-the people of Kentucky
are to erect a monument of Kentucky
marble, of beautiful design, which is to
rise 100 feet in height, under which the
remains of the noble son of old Kentucky
are to be deposited. The corner stone
will be laid on the 4th of July, with i'm
posing ceremonies.

Three kinds of Men.

Pooh INpEED.-One of our wealthy
and prosperous farmers-out OF debt and
possessing farm and stock worth at least
$1,000 called on us few days since and
expressed his regret that he should be
compelled to do without our paper for the
next year-though he liked it well, che
was not able to take it p Probably his
farm would sell for $500 more to-day
than it would have done had not the
Conservator been established. Yet he
was too poor to pay twelve shillings for
fifty-two numbers of our paper. Though
wheat is worth $1.35 per bushel-Oats
81 1-2 s.-Potatoes or s shillings,
and Butter shillings per h., and Eggs
IA to 18 cts. per doz., yet he could not
afford to take the paper! Was he not
poor indeed!
RICH IN FA1TH.-Another farmer liv-
ing far in the wilderness called upon US
he had no money-no grain--no stock.
He had piece Of land, ten acres, under
cultivation; from that ten acres he hoped
to be able to raise enough to sustain his
family and pay for the paper; his child
rem wanted the paper and he wanted it.
And he shall have it too-it will do him
good, and his children will bless him for
his kindly consideration of them. God
bless him and them and while the Con-
servator is printed, all such shall have it
for the asking, if the 'ten acres" does not
produce enough to supply the family and
pay the printer.
RICH INDEED.-Another farmer still,
called to have his paper continued; he
wore a smile of cheerfulness-he wanted
to take two papers, one for himself and
family, and one to send to a friend at the
east he brought us some of the good
things of his farm; and it took but little,
at present prices, to pay the three dollars
required, and he and 'his friend at the
east" will receiye the paper for fty-two
weeks. He went away with an air OF
satisfaction on his countenance, and tho
perhaps, with less than the first above
named, yet was he rich indeed, for he
grudged not the pay for food for the mind
of his family and himself.

Custom.

To undress to 90 to bed seems to be q
matter of fashion only. In Finland,
Bayard Taylor became the guest Of a hos
pitablc old lady with three daughters, and
thus went his experience
.The first night the mother aud her
sons were so amased to see him undress
before retiring, that they were curiosity
bound, and did not leave their standpoint
in the room until he WAS snugly covered
up. The revelation of what they had
seen, to other members of the family, pro-
duced a most wonderful audience the sec
ond night. On this occasion, he writes !:
Three buxom daughters, of age rang
ing from sixteen to twenty-five, appeared
about the time for retiring, and stationed
themselves in row near the door, where
they watched us, with silent curiosity. AS
we had shown no hesitation in the first
case, we determined to be equally coura
gious now, and commenced removing our
garments with deliberation, allowing
them to fully inspect them. The work
thus proceeded in mutual silence, until we
were nearly ready for repose, when. by
pulling off stocking, and displaying a
muscular calf, we suddenly alarmed the
Youngest, who darted to the door, and
rushed out. The second caught the pam
lie, and followed, and the third, the Oldest
was obliged to do likewise, though with
evident reluctance. The perfect compos-
ure of the girls, and the steadiness with
which they watched us, showed that they
were quite unconscious of having COM
mitted any impropriety.'"

Important from Kansas.

The Free State men of Kansas have
taken final and decisive step. In the
Mass Convention, at Topeka, on the 9th
June, they resolved to abide firmly by
their old organization, to pay no regard
whatever to the legislature of the Missou-
ri mob, but by considerations of the high
est justice and expediency to look forward
now as ever, to the admission of the peo-
pie of Kansas into the Union, under the
Constitution which they have already
formed, as the only mode of adjusting
existing difficulties to which they will as
sent. This, to our mind, is the only
course for them to pursue, that is not
open to objections that are insurmountable.
It is emphatically JUST in itself it has
moreover the sanction of PRECEDENT to
sustain it, as in the cases of Michigan
and California. Unless voluntarily yield
ed up, the position is impregnable. The
Free State men have undisputed numbers
on their side, and till the foundation prin-
ciple of our Government is fully subvert-
ed, the greatest number must rule, and if
our friends in Kansas, who have the ma
jority with them, and the RIGHT, do not
yield to the minority, the party an the
acrong mast yield to them.

The World Owes me a Living.

"IHat's falsei 1t doesn't owe you a
farthing. You owe the world for the
light of the day, the warmth of its sun
shine, the beauty of its sky, and for its
loves, affections and friendships, which
have from your childhood, young man,
clustered around you. For all these
and other blessings without number, you
are debtor.
You have never even thanked your
God for health and life. You never have
made the world better for having lived in
it. You owe for the breath, and for the
strength you enjoy. You haven't any
thing to your credit on the great day book
or ledger oflife-not cent. You are a
miserable, aimless, INDECENT bankrupt
You float down the stream of your ex-
istence like Lockwood on the water.
The world owes you living! Where
is there manly thought which you have
uttered, or noble deed which you have
performed? Where are the evidences of
your labor? Nowhere. You are loun-
ging through life an indolent loafer. A
pile of lumber would be of more account,
for that could be worked into forms of
usefulness and beauty; but you viii not
make any thing of yourself nor allow So
ciety to do it. You have degraded our
common manhood instead of ennobling
and elevating it. And because you are
too lazy to work, you think that the
world owes you living.
No, sir, you owe the world much
better life. Do and say something noble
and manly; labor for some honorable
purpose and not inhale Gods pure air for
nothing, but be worker-a man.

we were pleased to see the seeming in
crease in business. The city was filled
with strangers, who were looking for a
home or chance to invest their money.
From the amount of goods upon the
shelves of the merchants, we should think
they intend to do large business this sum-
mer. One of the best things was the iber-
atty which the Hudson people showed in
subscribing for the Journal. At noon
our sinner man" was much refreshed by
n few moments active exercise at the well

we know of the house, and its gentlemanly
proprietor, F. P. Catlin, we should think
it desirable place for those stopping in

QUITE TOO FUNNY.-The Minnesotian
of yesterday publishes, under the caption
of "a horrible MURDER" the story of the
murder on she previous evening. of F. w.
Turtle, formerly of Phalan's Lake, in a
saloon down town. The proprietor of the
saloon " took him into back room, and
for no assigned cause seized an axe and
severed his head from his body" Now
this is all very funny and very well, but
the Minnesotian ought to remember that
some might not be astute enough to think
that Fl. W." could stand for Fresh Wa
ter. In that case they would be perfectly
prepared to hear that the decapitated Tur-
tie was consigned to an early graye-y, but
as it is, some innocent subscribers were
deceived by what they took for the truth,
and were indignant to find lie; and the
Eastern papers will copy the Horrible

curity of life in st. Paul. We have e.

OPENING OF THE LAND OFFICE
We are constantly in receipt of letters,
inquiring when the land Office in Hudson
will probably be opened again. In an
swer to such inquiries we have to say,
that we are assured on the very best au-
thority, that the lines of the land grant
railroads will be definitely located, by the
latter part of September, SO that there
will be no necessity for keeping the office
closed after that time. We presume,
therefore, that our fall visitors, will be en-
abled to obtain government lands.
