Vandiver 1 In an .Interesting article, 'Tales * ^ of Old Barnwell," written by Louise Ayer Vandiver and printed in the Columbia State, the author, in de, scribing the .burning of Barnwell by Sherman's men, gives the follownig account of how the home of Judge A. P. Aldrich was saved. "Another stately home that escaped the torch was "The Oaks," the residence of Judge A. P. Aldrich. Thrice was Are set to it, but each time the intrepid mistress, standing guard over a negro boy to prevent the incendiaries doing him harm, ordered him to extinguish the flames. She so won the admiration of the Yankee sofldiers that they desisted from efforts to destroy the house over the heads of her helpless child> ren and herself, its only occupants at the time, as the men of the familynwere in the army." This incident' is described more v fully in a history privately printed by the late Judge Aldrich, of Aiken, as follows: /. "Mrs. A'ldrich felt the horrors of wn?

Her husband's office, containing his law library which included * in it the splendid libraries of the elder Johnson Hagood, Esq., and Angus Patterson, which Mr. Aldrich had purchased, was among the first buildings burned. The soldiers then * after burning outbuildingss upon the premises, and plundering the dwelling, attempted several times to ' burn it; but Mrs. Aldrich, assisted by her faithful servants, had extint guished the flames. The soldiers seemed determined to burn the house, and Mrs. Aldrich resolved to prevent it. a motner in me aeiense of her helpless children is always - a dangerous antagonist, and in the veins of this South Carolina matron flowed the blood of the spirited / Celt and unconquerable Scot. How ' ) * the contest would have ended can t never be known, for, at the critical moment, a young officer of a Pennsylvania regiment, appeared upon / the field and seeing the brutality of the soldiers, ordered them away. * "The eyes of the officer fell upon a picture of the Patterson Coat of Arms, hanging on the wall, and he , asked with a surprise and inquisitive look, "Madam, what is your name?" < The answer was: "Mrs Aldrich;" but noting the look at the picture, she added, 'This is the Coat of Arms of my ancestors; my maiden name was Patterson.' The officer replied: 'My < name, also is Patterson; my ancestors were from Scotland, and that is a picture of their Coat of Arms, and we must be related.' He left hurriedly, as his regiment was on the march; but he took time to see high 'A l i ?}?$? JmJMJMJMJJ ?J? $? *J?

Just a little fellow, somewhat fond of dirt,Seems we cannot teach him to be careful of his shirt; Clothes are made to play in, and when he wears $hem out He wonders when we grumble what the fuss is all about. Just a little fellow, all he knows is having fun, % Care and strife and trial haven't come to cloud the sun; His legs are never weary, abd the times-he hears us sigh And he sees that we are troubled, it is plain he wonders why. Just a little fellow, with his hareumscareum ways, Mischievous and roguish and his eyes with mirth ablaze, But what are shoes and stockings and the things I must provide? It's worth it all to have him romping daily at my side. Smile. When you think life's Ljt worth while Sit straight up ana rorce a smne. Smile and shake your head at fate? Hit the line; don't hesitate. Smile and say "World, howdy do; Here's a looking straight at you!" Shake yourself and force a smile? You'll see clear sky after while. When you meet a brother smile; Grasp his hand, walk double file. Smile and say, "Hello, old chum; Cheer up; don't be sad and glum!" Smile and every time you do It pays interest to you. Waste of time salt tears to shed? Smile and keep on straight ahead. In the crowded market place? K"ppn a erln r\ ?;milp rm vrmr fapp Frown, and you give birth to doubt? Next thing you'll be down and out. Smile and say, "Things coming fine? Only carload lots in mine!" Waste of time to sigh and sob? Smile, and stick tight to the job. The Bhutanese women, in India, were probably the first to "bob" their hair. ??w?^ ??????m officials, procure an order prohibiting the destruction of the house, and that a guard was placed on duty to enforce it. Mrs. Aldrich never ceased to regret that the young officer left before she could procure his address."
