Mrs. Andrew Jackson.

| There Is romance even among statesmen.
A1rs. jackson, when she married the Gen
eral, was Mrs. Roberts, and her husband
was still living. She had in her girIish days
been the object of the Generals idoiatry;
but I" the course of true love never did run
SMOOTH and the youthful lovers differed
and separated. The Iady's original name
was Doneison she afterwards married a
man by the name of Roberts. who proved
to be a prohigate, a brute, a Irunkard and
ii tyrant. He was in the habit of beating
his wife, and of otherwise treating her with
great brutality.
This tamertahle state being :matie known
to Gen. Jackson, he one day called at Rob-
erts', took her away, and placed her in a
position where she would escape the fiend-
I like conduct of her husband. Roberts COM
planned that he was injured, and torcibly de-
priyed Of his wife's society; whereupon he
was informed, that if he did NOT keep quiet
his ears would be disposed of Subsequently
he submitted TO divorce, and Gen. Jackson
married the lady.
Mrs. Jackson was a good and pious wo-
man, but exceedingly ilIiterate. She pos
,sessed none Of the graces that adcrn fash
iionaheiite, bur was beloved by her husband
with ;natchless devotion. She was the
only being on earth who could control his
iron will and fierce and indomitable temper
ament.--N 7. .4tlGs.
