Quiet and retiring in bis manners, :attending e1elush·ety to bis own hu>ine><. very few, nonh or south, k.new him inti1natcly.

In his deeds of charity,

whioh hnve bceo more numerous tbnn the world will ever accredit to h im, there wns oo ostentation.

Somctimo during the ycnr 1848, the American Coloni1.ntion Society made nn uppcnl in behalf of Free Lnbor Tropical Cultiva tion, by the purchase of a largo trnet or laud on tho coast of A rricn. In April o f 1hc somo yoor it wns suggested, through the Cincinnati papers, that an cffccLUnl blow might be s truck at tho Sln<e-trodo by a liberal provision loeing 10ndc for the settlement of n Colony: Mr. Mci\Jicken's sympathies wero Lhcroby enlisted.

fie snw at once that to encourage the emigration of the Free Col­ored P eople from this a nd adjoining s lates, to the Republic of J,ibcrin; to consecrate tho groutcst possible extent of the soil of Africa to free lnbor ; to protect its population from tho direful couscqucnccs of the rcnewnl of tho Slnvo-trnde; to render its labor U\'nilable in Tropit:U L'ultivntion upon i1s own soil ; a nd thus to deprive :;l:l\·ery of it• lllO·

nopoly of the mnrkcts of Chris tendom, nod check its extension on t ho American Continent., were objectswortl1yhis monns ond efforts.

T he mcosure was responded lo by Mr. Mc)lickcn, on a plan pro­posed by himself, by un offer of sufficient funds to pny for the ncccs­•>ry amou nt of' lond for such n colony. Preside nt Roberts, of J,iberin, on reaching the U nitcd States shortly after the plan of Mr. Mc)licke11 hntl been nooounecd, git\'O to it his decided nppro•·nl.

When tho ll~w. Wm. MoL:iin, Secrctnry of the A mcrionn Coloniza­tion Society, annonoccd to Mr. Mc)fiekco that tho purchase h:1d been made, ho promptly remitted to him tl10 6"e thousuml dollnrs which he lrnd pledged. Oltio ;,. .Aj,;,·a wos purchased with these fu nds, a nd wos expressly dcsignccl for the colored people of Ohio, Indinno, nnd llli· nois. On the consummation of which act a new cm iu Africun colo· nization commenced.

Ile, from time to time, made liberal donations to other objects; and a few year. l·erore hi.• ,Jeatb he subscribed ten thousand dollars for the endowment or the Profc.oorsh ip of Ag ricultur:tl Chemistry in F armers' C'ollC):e. This Institution was early reg:irdecl by him with pecttlinr favor, and patronized uy educating within it n nnmbcr of his nephews.

Jiis lust will, containing thirty-nine l!Cctions, will be read with in­lcrest by all true J>hilanthropists. After remetnbcring ll is numerous rcln ti\'C~ nnd friends in thu bcstowmcnl of legacies nnd an nu ities-not in largo snrn•, believing"" he did 1.l111t e••ery one should be self·rel i:int, nnd that fortunes gi\'011 witl1out labor oftener proved " source of evil thnn othcrwis(.)-ho nuakcs pro,·ision for the founding of two Colleges, embmcing in extent n course of Uni,.crsity cducntion-ono for each

of lhc sexes; nnd should the funds at length justify, nn csl:tblish­ment for Orphans, on n most admirable plan, nnd one brcuthing forth a most benevolent spitit. It provides for the 1nnintcnn11co, clothing and education of those unfortunate ones who should be bercnved of both fniber a nd mother. Tl1is educational scheme had long been tho single object of his life. Ou unfolding it, •s ho said, for the first time, to l1is intimnte friend F. 0. Cnry, he informed him t.bnt he had labored s ince early manhood for its nccomplisbmeo.t. Opening l1is will, nbout n year before his death, he atte mpted t,o rend it to l1im, but before be had complewd the first parag raph, his feelings choked bis utternnee, nnd with eyes suffused with tears he banded it lo his friend, requesting him to rend. I t is as follows :

u llltving loog cheri~bed Ll1e desire to found an i M t.ilulion where wb.ite boys and girls might be lAngbL not only A knowledge of their duties U> their Creator and lhcir fellow-men, buL also receivo lbo benc.Gt. of a soundJ thorough, And prAC· ticol l~oglish cduaalio111 nnd guell n.s might. fi t them for lite active duties of life, ns ~·ell o.s iuslructiou in <lll tLe higlicr bra.nchel! of knowledge, except denomi­nat,lonal theology, to the exte nt.

Ufficiently foTor~l to gnltify tb.t wish of my benrt..11

'fhe ch:tractcr of Mr. Mo~Cickcn was no les.~ marked in his Ins t ill­ness, contracted on board the bont on his return from New Orloons. For a nu111lier of days there seemed to be no cause of alarm. But his disc:a~, which w:.s rneumoniu, soon assumed n most. malignant type, nnd threate ned a fatal tcrminotion ; nod be curly becMnc s:1lis ficd !hut his sickness wus unto tlertth , yielding himself fully to tho impres­sion that the time of his dcpnrt11re was at hand. Ilis miud was un­clouded omid the most intoosc suffering C\"Cn t.o the Inst moment. ; not n murmur or comph1lnt. csc11pctl his lips. 110 a.n intimate friend, asking him if he dcsircd to recover, he c:ilmly replied, " I shall soon hn~e lo go, nuy wuy; ""d if it 1ilcosc the L ord, I nm ready to go now." Ile seemed like one ••tisficcl thnt he had finished his work on earth, and nrndo his peace with God t.hrough the only Sa,.ior of sinners. Jlc m:.dc no mention of his worldly m:ltlers during hi-l'i entire illnes..'i. In bis last moments, he was tLlte uJed by lho Hov. J . Jt'. Wright, who, osk­ing if he shoulJ unite in prayer, he nodded assent. And afte r a short petition was offered, he immedintely yielded up bis spirit into the !muds of b is Redeemer, on the 30th day ot' March, 1858, io the ~even ty-sixth ycnr of hi~ :1ge.

Mr. ,\JcMickcn was for n number of years 11111e111ber of the ~[cthodist Episcopal Church, ant1 was uniform in his attcndnnc..'() 0 11 the ministry of the word and tho ordinances of relig ion. He wos cntbolio iu his

6

'l'iewa on all 1ubjccl3, yet ten11Ciou and decided in his own, and en ­gaged in controversy with none. That ho had his faulta io common with all, nono will deny. Let those who read his noble bcques\ for the co use of education and humanity, write thoso in the sand; and such u ha,·e enjoyed like good fortune, copy his example .

. Prom this hasty sketch of his life and ehar11Cter nnd this, his finnlly developed purpose, justice Mn not be dooo; but all must sny that Mr. McMiekon was a remarkable mnn.

impro,·cd or unimproved, or which I mny herCl.~flcr acquire in

the said City, or which the said City n111y pureh:i.;;o for tho

benefit of tho saicl Colleges, shall at any time be sold, but nny building 01· b11ilcliJ1gs thcrcou shall be hpt in rcp:Ur from the

22

revenues of my Estate. And I hereby authorize tbe Corpo-

111te authorities of the said City, ;;hould they find it necessary OJ" expcclieut from dilapidation, 6re or other cause, or for the pw·posc of soouiing the largest income, to tnk e tlown nny house or houses, nnd to rebuild the same out of tbe income of my Estate. Antl I fw·ther empower tbc said Authorities to build upon nuy vacant lot, lots, or g rounds, I may possess, or which they mny under the authority of my Will hereafter

purchase; and as there will be a considerable space upon the eastern boundary of the grounds devoted to the College for the Boys, it "·oultl be a suitablo nncl convenient place for erect­ing Iloat'Cling-houses for the accommodation of Students, from which a rental might\)() derived.

2. The College Building shall be erected out of the rents

nud income of my real and personnl estnte, nnd on the prem­ises ou which I now reside, in the City of Cinciunati-by me pui·chased from theadmi11istrntors of Luman Watson deceased ~and which shall be plaiu, but ncnt nnd substautial in their character, nncl so col\Slruetecl, tbnt., iu conform.ity with their arcbitectu rnl desigu, they, froin time to time, ml\y be eufarged, as the renb! of the Estate devised will allow, and the ends of

the Institutions may req nire.

The said buildings Rl1 all be erected on difiorcnt parts of the snid grouuds, to wit: llrnt for the Boys on the north, ancl that for the Girls on the south of the road lately cut through said

g rowi<ls.

And I direct that the plot of ground ou which the College for the B oys shall be built, shall comprise not less than from

23

4 fi\'e to six acres; and thnt on which the Collcgo for the Girls

shull bo built, shall comprise all below tho said rond, which

plot muy, I suppose, contain about tliree acres. Should addi­

tionul g rounds be rcqufrcd for tl1e buildings connected with

tl10 College for the Oirls, I would refer to lot No. 32, in the

subdivision made by Jacob Madeira, adjoining 01e last de­

scribed premises on the west, which may be found a suitable

pince for 01e erection of dwellings for Boarding-hon~ for

the fenrnle stodcntl!, and from which a revenue might accrue,

or IIouses for Fcmalo Orphans when required.

Ancl I would rocommcnd for tl1e purpose of enlarging the College g rounds and for the general benefit of tho Iustitutio1111, that the said City should, if they deem it advantageous, uucl ore ennbled to do so upon equitable terms, purchase the prop­

erty on the west side of my said grounds, by which the said

City will h.wc the opportunity, if they soo 6i, of erecting ,.

portion of the Collcgo lluildings for the Doys to the we..-nvard

of the location I have assigned them.

XXXIlI. I hereby outbo1ize the snicl City, if they believe

it expedient, to lay out into lob! any uni mpt'O\'od property I may possess and to lease the l!.'lme for building purposes upon

ground renta rencwoblc at a. re-nuuation, buL uo lease shall bo made for a. longer period than fifteen ycal'il rui afores.'lid, or

the said CiLy instead of lensing may build upon the same ns nlrendy empowered; 11nd no lease of improved property ~hall

be made for a longer period than ten yen1"S. Tho 1·evcnue tber"'­frcm slrnll be approprintccl to the use of the &lit! Colleges.

XXXIV. The 1 Coly Bible of the Protestant version rui con-

24

tained in the Old and New Testament shall be used as a Books of l0$lrnction in the said Colleges.

XIl."V. The preference in all applicntions for admission to be given to nny aud nil of my relations and their descenclants,

such np11lic:1nt sbnll have lost either or bolb pnrenta or what­

ever mny be the ngo of said minors. 2. Tho snid Orphans shall receive n sound English educa­

tion, oncl where the talents or the Child shnll nlford eucoar·

agenwnt, he or she shnll be trnnsforrccl to the respective Col­l!!gcs nnd .hall be cclacnted to the extent that T lrnve pr0\'1cled by the Thirty-first Item of my Will. It is my desire nlso that

21>

Baid Institutions, shall fonn a prominent pnrt of their educa­tion, and thnt 118 far as human means may nllow they ahtill be made not uecfol Citizens only, but good Citizens dooply im­pl'csscd with n knowledge of their duties to their God and to their fellow-men, nnd with a love for thei r eo1111try nnd its united republicnn institutions, in the blessed and pcnooful en­joyment of which, it is my fervent prayer, they and their de­eoondants may continue to live.

8. No orphan shall be received until their Gunrdians, or those in whosc custody they are, shall have first entirely re­linquished their control of them, to the said City, in order thaL

they may not be capl'iciously withdrawn from the benefits of the said Iustitutious.

4. Those orphans who mny have remained until they have reached any age between fourtoon and eighteen years, shall be bolllld out by the said City to some proper art, trade, occupa­tion or employment. The ta.11tcs and inclinntione of the or­

pbnns, in the selection of an occupation, to be as f'ar 118 prncti­cable and advantageous, always consulted.

6. This direction as to binding out, I do not intend should be npplied to those who, having displayed aupcrior talents and receh·ed instruction in tl10 higher branchce of knowledge, a.• aforesaid, shall, if they aec proper, be pcnnitted to pursue the study of the learned profC88ions.

6. Those runic orphans who mny intermarry with the fo ..

male orphans shnll, if found deserving, in order to their !!>!tab· lisluncut iu business, be entitled to receive from any surplus reve1u1es iu hand, nt un interest of six per e-0nt. per annum, a Jonn not excoocling five hundred dollars, which shall be mncle

26

under such rcgulnttons, nnd refunded nt such t.i.me, ns the said Corporate authorities mny stipulnte nnd direct.

XXX.VIT. The (!Stnblishmcnt of tl\c regulations necessary to cnrry out the objects of my endowment, I leave to the wis·

1lom nnd diserction of the Corpornto authorities of tho City of Cincinnnti, who s hall hnve power to nppoiot Directors of ;nid Institutions.

:xxxvm. Tho conditions on which the above devise and lx-quCllt to tbe @nid City of Cincinnati, in trust, nre mnde, are

'1S follows: Thnt the nccountll of tbo snicl I nstitutions shnll be kept en­

tirely distinct from nll other accounts whatever.
