THE WONDERFUL MAN.

/ have hitherto been disposed to doubt
the wonderful faculties ascribed to Gen.
Jackson by his adherents. But the pub
Iication of his official accounts against
the government has removed my scepti-
cIsm. From those accounts IL appears,
that while the General ate three meals a
day, IN the capacity of Major General, he
at he same moment, cat three more meals
per day, in the capacity of Governor Of
Florida. That while he drank per day.
D dollars worth of Old Madeira Wine0
at D dollars per gallon, Real London
Porter" and Best Fourth proof French
Brandy, as Major General, he likewise
drank, per day, D dollars worth more of
liquors as Governor, making total of 10
dollars per day, for spirits and liquors.
Uncle Sam had to pay for it all, though
the GmPOVder Tea at 50 per ID. smelt
contounded strong to the auditors Of the
Treasury Department.
But, what Is more wonderful sdll-"the
Tennessee Farmer" not only ate and drank
double allowance himself, but he endow-
ed his servants, and even his horses with
the same capacity. The servants ate their
ulree meals as servants OF the "Commis-
sioner to treat with the indians, = and their
three meals more as ''servants Of the Ma

TRUE PITH

The force Of language IS apt to be mc.
injured by the multitude Of words. DO
following is not only entirely free iromal
fault but on the other hand may be con.
sidered as a rare specimen Of the acon,
and pithy style.
A respectable farmer, not forty mills
from this place, has the singularly hapr
talent of not saying a word too much. 4
young man wishing to obtain his cons
to marry his daughter, called upon him ou
day when he happened to be in the fel
ploughing with his oxen. 1t was, pas Ll
doubt, a fearful matter for diliident manic
breach, and the hesitatlng lover alierrn
