Anecdotc of General jackson.

The Western Christian Advocate re-
cords the following interesting anecdote
of Gen. jackson. The scene of it was
in the Tennessee Annual Conference,
held at Nashville less than year before
the hero's death, and to which he had
been invited by vote of the members,
thai they might have the pleasure Of an
introduction to him:
1.-The committee was appointed, and
the General fixed the time for o'clock
on Monday morning. The Conference
room being too small to accommodate the
hundreds who wished to witness the in
PRODUCTION, one of the churches was sub
stituted, and an hour before the time
filed to overlooking. Front seats were
reserved for the members Of the Comic
renee, which was called to order by the
Bishop, seated in large chair il the
altar, just before the pulpit After
prayers, the committee retired, and a
minute after entered, conducting the
man whom they delighted to honor -
They led him to the Bishops chair, which
was made vacant for him, the Bishop
meanwhile occupying another place with
in the altar. The Secretary was directed
to call the names of the members Of the
Conference, which he did in alphabetical
order, each coming forward and receiving
from the Bishop personal introduction
to the x-President, and Immediately re-
firing to give place to the next. The
ceremony had nearly been completed
when the Secretary read the name of the
Rev. James T, an elderly gentle
man, with a weather-beaten face, clad in
suit of jeans, arose and came forward.
Few seemed to know him. lie had al
ways been on the circuit on the frontier {;
and though always at Conference, he
never troubled it with long speeches, but
kept his seat, and said but little, that
little, however, was always to the pur-
pose. Mr.. T came forward and
was introduced to Gen. Jackson. lie
turned his face towards the General, who
said, 1T seems to me that we have met
before The preacher apparently en-
barrassed, said i was with you through
the Greek campaign-one of your body
guard at the battle of Horse Shoe-and
fought under your command at New
Orleans The General arose slowly
from his seat, and throwing his long,
withered, bony arms around the preach
er's neck, exclaimed-'We'll soon meet
where there is no war-where the smoke
of battle never rolls up its sulphurious
inconse' Never before or since have ]
seen so many tears shed as then flowed
forth from>the eyes of that vast assembly.
Every eye was moist with weeping
Eleven years have passed away since
that day. The old hero has been more
than ten years in his silent and narrow
home. The voice that cheered the
dropping fight, and Numbered in the rear
of routed armies, is silent forever. The
old preacher, too, has fought his last bat
tie, laid his armor by, and gone to his
eternal rest"

Coon ADVICE TO APPRENTICES. When
serving your apprenticeship, you will
have time and opportunity to stock your
mind with useful information. The only
way for young man to prepare himself
for usefulness, is to devote himself 70
study during his leisure hours. First,
be industrious in your business--be fru-
gal, be ecoDomical--neyer complain that
you are obliged to work 90 to it with
alacrity and oheerfulness and it will be-
come habit which will make you re-
sPected and beloved by your master or
employer; make it your business to see
to and promote his interest by taking
care Of his, you will learn to take care
Of your own. Young men at the pres
ent day are too fond Of getting rid of
work They seek for easy and lazy en-
Payments, and frequently turn out poor
miserable vagabonds. You must avoid
all wishes to live without labor; it is a
blessing instead Of curse; it makes
your food, clothing, and every other
thing necessary, and. frees you from
temptation to be dishonest.

SHAKESPEARE.
The willow grows beside the river,
And the bows hang DER its flow,
Till the green leaves as they culver,
Kiss the waves that run below.
The river whispers to the willow
With a sad, mysterious tone,
As the bubbles of each billow
Gurgling break on bank and stone.
What saith the river as it glistens
In the sun-glints through the tree,
While the bough stoops down and listens
To its plaintive melody2
"Like my waters life is flying
Brightest joys have shortest stay
AS my waves speed onward signing,
With thy kisses far away
Human hopes are like the bubbles
Swollen and glittering on my tide,
Till the rocks like earthly troubles
Meet and wreck them as they glide"

Scars lark in airy rings,
While his voice trills to the quiyer

THE Low WAGES ISLANDER.

As much has been said by the oppo
sition in relation to Mr.. Buchanan'i
great speech on the Independent Treasury
Bill, made whilst a member of the Uni
ted States Senate, in which it is alleged
he advocated reduction Of wagcs--ten
cents a day, as they say-we publish the
portion referring to that subject, that our
readers may see how utterly false and III.
founded the charge is. Mr.. B. said
" All other circumstances being equal,
| agree with the Senator from Kentucky,
that that country is most prosperous
where labor commands the highest wa
ges; ! do not, however, mean by the
term 'Fhighest wages" the greatest nom
ical amount. During the Revolutionary
war one days work commanded hun
bred dollars Of continental paper, but
this would scarcely have purchased a
breakfast. The more proper expression
would be to say, that THAT COUNTRY
IS MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE
LABOR COMMANDS THE GREAT
EST REWARD where one days labor
will procure, not the greatest nominal
amount Of deprecated currency, but
most of the necessarles and comfort of
life. If therefore, you should in some
degree, reduce the nominal price paid for
labor, by reducing your bank issues
within reasonable and safe limits, and
establish metallic basis for your paper
circulation, would this injure the laborcr?
Certainly not; because the price Of all
the necessaries and comforts Of life are
reduced in the same proportion, and he
will be able to purchase more Of them for
one dollar in sound state Of the currcn-
cy than he could have done in the days
of extrayagant expansion for dollar and
a quarter. So far from injuring, it will
greatly benefit the laboring man II will
insure to him constant employment, and
regular prices, paid in sound currency,
which Of all things he ought most desire,
and it will save him from being involved
in ruin by recurrence Of those periodi-
cal expansions and contractons Of the
currency which have hitherto convulsed
the country"
Now, this is the precise language Of
Mr. Buchanan. Dare any Know-noth-
ing, Black Republican and Ncgro-wor-
shipping press in the country publish
these remarks ? If they dare not, the
community have the right to demand at
least, that they shall not wilfully mis-
present them.
