With Such emotions and sentiments we announced on Tuesday the death of Mrs. L.J. Dupree, a lady whom it was our pleasure to know, and whose moral and intellectual excellencies we have long recognized. We have listened to the sparkling sallies of her wit, and have felt the earnestness of her colloquial eloquence, which made her father matchless as the people's orator, we have studied the profound depths of her active, vigorous intellect and sympathies, and have appreciated as keenly as him who admires it most her native ingeniousness and shrinking modesty, and have seen in her developed a full and perfect knowledge of the proper sphere of woman.
With the highest attainments known among her sex, with manners most fascinating, with conversational powers unsurpassed, with every inducement ot lead a life of frivolous fashionable gaiety, she chose rather to make her home delightful, and to promote the happiness of those around her. With all his strong social tastes and feelings her husband has rarely been seen at places of public amusement in the city, and we have heard him say that he never took a meal from home when it was possible to avoid it. We knew the influence which attracted him thither and, admired the more the wife who knew so well how to exercise it. Such women ennoble their sex and ennoble mankind, and to such we tender the humble tribute of our praise and point to them as worthy exemplars for the wives and mothers of this city. The great among men may be rewarded with a nations tears, but there is as unfading a chaplet of perennial glory woven in realms of immortality for those who in the practice of domestic charities and virtues spend self-sacrificing lives, as is entwined about the brow of the greatest hero who has deluged the world in blood, or of the statesman who has enraptured Senates with his eloquence.
The subject of this notice was the oldest child of the late Senator Jones. She was born in Wilson county, in this state, near the Hermitage, was educated in Lebanon, and married there in 1849, when she came to this city, where she has since resided. For two years past she has bee the prey of ceaseless suffering, which she has borne without a murmur. When she was dying we are told that she spoke of death as a welcome visitor, and when at last she became voiceless and her mother leaned over her bedside and asked if all were well, she smiled and looked and pointed upward and then--she was dead.
