LETTER FROM GEN LEE.-The original of
the following private letter from Gen. Lee to
his SOD, was found at Arlington House, during
the late war. l, is interesting as illustrating a
phase in mis- character
ARLINGTON HOUSE, April 5. 1852.
My Dear Son II am just in the act of
leaving home Tor New Mexico. My old regi
ment has been ordered to that distant region,
and | must hasten TO see that they are proper.
ly taken care of. l have bur little to add in
reply to your letters of March 26, 81 and %.
Your letters breathe spirit of irankness; they
pleasure. You must study 10 be frank with
the world; trankneSs is the child of honesty and
courage. Say what you mean to do on every
occasion, and take it Tor granted you do right.
Ii Il friend asks favor. you should grant it, if
it is possible, if not tl him plainly why you
cannot; you will wrong him and wrong your
self by equivocation OF any kind. Never do
wrong thing to make friend or keep one; the
man who requires you TO DO so. is dearly pur-
chased as a sacrifice. Deal kindly, but firmly,
with your classmstcsyyou will find it the policy
~hich wears best. Above all do not appear
to others what you are Lot. Ii you have any
fault 10 find with any one, tell him, not others,
OF what you complain; there is no more 1an-
be one thing before mans face and another
behind his tack. We should live, act aud say
nothing TO the injury of any one. II is not
only best as matter of principle, tut is the
path of peace and honor.
ID regard to duty, let me, 10 conclusion OF
this hasty letter, inform you that neary hun
dred years ago there was day Of remarkable
gloom and darkness still known as the dark
day-s day when the light of the sun was slow
ly ex;inguisbed as if by an eclipse. The Legls
lature of Connecticut was in session, and as lis
members saw the unex pec;ed and unaccouutable
darkness coming on, they shared in tho general
awe and terror. 1t was supposed by many that
the !ast day-the day of judgmept-had come.
Some one, In the CONSERVATION of the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there arose an
old Puritan Legislator. Davenport, OF STAN
ford, and said, that if the last day had come,
he desired to be found at his place doing his
duty, and therefore moved that candles be
brought in so that the house could proceed
with lis duty. There was quietness in that
mans 8 mind. the quetDess OF heavenly wisdom
to obey present duty. Duty, then, is the sub
Iimes word in our language. Do your duty in
all things ike the old Puritan. YOU canno,
do more. Never let me and your mother Wear
cne grey hair ior any lack of duty on your part.

DEFINITIONS Few persons are aware bow
much knowledge is sometimes necessary to
give the etynolopy and definition OF a word.-
1t is easy to define words, as certain persous
satrized by P~scal have defined light: "a

as Western Judge oEce defined murder to
Jury :-"Murder. ReDttuen, Is when man
is murderous;y killed. 1t Is the numbering
that cons flutes murder in the eye OF the law.
Murder, in SHORTS murder" We have all
smiled at JohDson's definition of net work {:
met work-anything retieuiated or decussed
at equal distances, within intersticcs between
the intersections" y"..g
Many Of the definitions in our dictionaries
remind one of Bardolphs attempt to anaIyze
the term accommodation -"AccommOdatlon
