The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1871-06-09
AxEcDoTE OF GEN. LEE.

The great confederate leader, jus:
dead, was remarkable for his social as
well as for his military qualities
His handsome person, aristocratic bear
ing, and polished manners, made
him especially tie idol of the fair sex
wherever he went. The severity that
marked his department in camp and
battle. totally deserted him when the
responsibilities which they imposed were
Withdrawn, and in private life he was
one of the most genial aud humorous
of men. We recall an anecdote illus
trative of this fun-loving element of his
character. The incident occarred few
days before the outbreak. of the war
Among the most frequent visitors at the
mansion on Arlington Heights were the
Eairfaxes of Alexandria. Mrs. Fair
fax was one of the generals particular
favorites and the attractions of her soci-
ETY. were not least among the induce
ments that temped him SO often from
Arlington 20 Alexandria. One cold
December morning, while riding through
the street of that most delectable settle
ment, he espied Mrs. f. approaching
from the direction in which he was go
ing. A few moments later he had dis
mounted and engaged in conversation
The lady armed herself against the in
clemency of the weather by carrying q
white muff, with which she relieved the
tendency OF her nose to assume q toe
brilliant pink, by pressing every momen'
to that frost beleaguored organ. In do
ing this many of the hairs came off upor
the vail. fact which the general no
ticed, but did not refer to it until HI
saw a friend turning an adjacent corner
coming that way, who was somewhat no
torioas as quiz. Speaking hurriedly
in an altered tone oftrepidation, he turn
cd to Mrs. Fairfax and said: ssMy deal
madam, here comes Judge, Do per
nit me to remove those hairs from you
veil-they're the same color as M,
beard. ~ Y. Com. Adv.

ygOsaAN's INFLUENCE ON
"IHOME."


How often have you noticed, pa
tient reader, in entering certain
houses, that the looms were filed
with an undefnable mir Of case, pleas
entness. sociality, life, light and
home-likeness. The furniture might
not be especially remarkable, the
walls neither covered with expensive
paper nor the ceilings frescoed; the
carpet very likely mere three-ply,
and the mantle pieces Of wood in
stead of marble; aud yet, somehow.
you were glad to find yourself there,
and going away, carried with you
bright memories and cheerful spir-
it. Ii you stopped To aDalyze the
causes of your agreeable sensations.
You will have remembered there was
plenty of light, few paintings, or
at least engravings, and good en-
craving is much To be preferred TO u
poor painting; some books, and
above all, suppiementing all, and in
stinctively discorned az having gath
cred and arranged ali, an intelligent,
frank, motherly or sisterly woman,
connected wi little, and caDty wi
rnair," whose presence was magnetic,
whose whole atmosphere was joyous
and refined. There might not have
been wealth, but assuredly there was
good breeding, u cultured mind and
sweet disposition.
Home. That is what woman makes
it. Man may be active or indolent,
sullcn. or social. good, bad or indif.
ferent, tho home will be pervaded
ruled, dominated by the spirit of the
wife. Children will love it or hate
it, gladly remain at or return to it,
or fly from it ON all possible occa'
sions, Just as it is eniivened by sym
pathy or rendered gloomy by care OF
moroseness. The most tickle and
thonghtless man often, and the
laded, oyer-burdened, yet kindly
man always turns with irrepressible
yearning to the seclusion, the rest,
the free intercourse OF home. There
If anywhere, he finds innocent and
substantial enj yment; there, if al
all, repose which is yet happiness

Eve was ail-potent for evil, hel
daughters are equally powerful fol

which preserves the world from
grossnoss and corruption, in SO fai
as it is saved therefrom, and it is the
daily example and exhorbitation oi
good and discreet women which pre-
vent the subsidence Of the great ma

The WIrE.-If you wish to be hap
py and have peace in the family,
never reprove your husband in COM
pany, even if that reproof be ever SO
light. If he be irritated, speak not
an angry word. Indifference, some
times will produce unhappy conse-
quences. Always feel an interest in
what your husband undertakes; and
if he is perplexed or discouraged, as
sist him by your smiles and happy
words. If the wife is careful how
she conducts, speaks and looks, a
thousand happy hearts would cheer
ana brighten her existence, where
now there is nothing but clouds OF
gloom, sorrow and discomfort. The
wife, above all others, should strive
to please her husband and to make
home attractive,

HEAT TT HOT, SAM.

Colonel McHatten went from Vir-
ginia to Illinois, in the early settle
ment OF the country, when roadside
inns were unknown, and every dwell
er in the wilderness kept sort of
travellers home. The Colonel, by
lucky Investment in wild land lad
become q rich man-but he kept up
his habits Of hospitality, and If the
guest was well to do in the world, he
did not object to turning an honest
penny in that way.
One bold, clustering winter even
ing, a horseman drew up ut the house
and asked accommodation for the
night. A half grown lal answered
in the affirmative, and ushered him
into the sitting room, where the great
wood fire of itself gave him cordial
welcome. After supper the landlord
made his appearance for the s.rst
time. He was hearty and hale, and
as rosy as any boniface should be,
but he was bent and crippled in his
gait. He explained that he had
taken a cold which had settled in his
back.
81 don't mind the cold so much,
he continued, "but it is so incon-
venient. have been recommended
to try a poor mans plaster, and if
you will excuse me, / will put 1t on.
Sam! Samueli Samuel McHatten"
Here, father" said the lad above
mentioned, hastily swallowing a large
49,. Of xgl al. 1,<. h.. 4
quietly enjoying.
Here, Sam, my boy, heat this
plaster for me and put it on my back.
Heat it hot, Sam"
Saying which he handed the plas-
ter to his son, and seating himself
astride chair, with his back to the
fire, threw his suspenders back, and
shirt over his head. Now, Sala,
said the Colonel, "if the poor man s
plaster is hot, you may put it on; but
you may wait little while: I'm afraid
it's not hot enough. Heat it hot,
Sam-heat it hot. Can you tell, he
continued, turning to the traveller,
who was seated in the corner, "why
this is the poor mans friend, hey !?
Give it up ?"-laugling to himself
because it sticketh closer than a
brothefl eh 2"
Poor Sam, who had been watching
his chance TO speak without inter-
rupting bis father, now ventured to
say:
