ANECDOTE OF JACKSON.

The Western Christian Advocate re-
cords the following Interesting anecdote of
jackson. The scene of it was III the Ten
nesee Annual Conference held at Nash
vile, and t. which he had been invited bv
a vote Of the brethren that they might
have the pleasure Of an introduction to
him.
The committee was appointed, and the
General fixed the time for o clock on Mon
day morning. The Conference room being
too small to accommodate the hundreds
who wished to witness the introduction,
one Of the churches was substituted, and
an hour before the time flied to overflow
ing Front seats were reserved for the
members of the Conference which was cal
led to order by the Bishop seated in large
chair in the altar, just before the pulpit
After prayers the committee retired, and Il
minute af.erward entered, conducting the
man whom all delighted to honor They led
him to the Bishops chair, which was made
vacant for him, the Bishop meanwhile oc-
cupying another place within the altar
The Secretary was directed TO call the
names of the members Of Conference, which
he dill i'll alphabetical order, each coming
forward and receiving fIom the Bishop II
personal introduction to the cx-President,
and Immediately retiring to give place to
the next. The ceremony had nearl y been
completed, when the Secretary read the
name of Rev. James t; an elderly
gentleman, with weather. beaten f,ce, clad
in suit of Jeans arose and came forward
Few seemed to know him. He had al
ways been on 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 purpose. Mr.. t
came forward and was introduced to Gene
raj Jackson. lie turned his face towards
the General, who said: at seems TO me we
have met before" The preacher appa-
parently embarrassed, said: II was with
YOU through the Creek campaign-onc of
your body guards 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, with
erred, bony arms arouEd the preachers neck
he exclaimed:
"We'll soon meet again where there's no
war-where the smoke of battle never rolls
up its sulphurous inccnse!'
"Never before, or since have | seen So
many tears shed as then flowed forth from
tho eyes of that vast assembly. Every eye
was moist with weeping"
eleven years have passed away since
that day. The home The voice that
cheered the dropping fight and Numbered
in the rear of routed armies is silent for
ever. The old preacher, too, has fought
his last battle, laid his armor by, and gone
/ home to his eternal rest

COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.

We like country newspapers. With 4
few exceptions they are capital vehicles to
thought. Freshness, originality and fact
characterize many of their editorials. They
are purged from the bile of great and crow
ded cities. They are sent forth from the
midst Of natures most beautiful things
birds, trees and flowers, woods, valleys,
and the broad, free blue heaven. Those
who occupy the sea; editorial, though they
may be unlearned in the classics, are not
worldly in the common sense of the word.
They 90 not YEARLY to the sanctum day
after day. with brains stepped in wine, and
aching with the reminicencies of gas-light
and crowded fetes. They are not obliged
to fill their columns with long descriptions
of whirling dancers and hackned stars
They have few sickening details Of rows
and murders Untaintcd by city vices,
they take high and pure views Of life. Al
together one feels to breathe freer and to
think better of his fellows after rcaling a
RICH. smart country paper
In their corners are many little illusions
Of choice poetry. Often they are superior
i'll freshness and feeling to much that it is
laudcd by the city press. They bring with
them rural pictures of old farm houses,
half hidden by the foliage of summer.
There is some cherished corner where
the blooming country lass, like beautiful
wild flower in seclusion, pens her pretty
thoughts, and sends them under some "a
nonymous signature to the village doctor.
He puzzles his brain to think who it can
be- Conjures before his vision all the
Lauras and Marys who cast sly chances at
him at meeting, and whisper to each other
as he passes, that's the Doctor
He little dreams it is the rosy maiden of
whose substantial bread and butter he so
often partakes. He has sometimes caught
sight of her through the room of the
shades of the distinguished auihors.--the
washtub but never thought she gave time
to muses.. 1t is, nevertheless. He is ia
vored some time by the proud old far
mer-f,,her, or devoted mother, with a
glance into that favorite study. Of these
Matte knows nothing about it. What a
wife she would make! Good
poetry and good cooking!
Hereafter commend us to the country
papers. Sparks from the thought anvil
fly thick aud fast; glorious and bright they
are-thc editor is married The country

MACHINERY IL THE HUMAN FRAMEi-
Very few, even mechanics, are aware how
much machinery there is in their own bod
les. Not only are there hinges and joints in
their bones, but there are valves in the veins,
a forcing pump in the heart, and other GU
riosities. One of the muscles of the eye
forms real pulley. The bones which
support the body are made precisely in that
form which has been calculated by mathc-
maticans to be strongest for pillars and
scrippting columns-that of hollow cylin-
ders.

A RELIc-We are informed by Joel III.
Kester, Esq, that VIM. King, of Fairbanks
township, Sullivan county, found a sword
sticking in the ground, on what was called
Wogoner's defeat branch. 1t was here
where several wagons loaded with provis-
ions, destined for Fort Harrison in 1919,
were surprised by "A party of Indians and all
killed, with the exception of one man, by
the name of Black.
This sword, doubtless was the property
Of the officer in command, whose name we
believe was Fairbanks. Mr.. King was
grubbing at the time he found it. The point
was discovered by him it being but few
inches out of the ground.
1t is described as having lengthy silver
chain attached to it, and a quantity ofsilycr
on the hilt
Thus has been buried in the earth this
n:ere sting relic, illustrative of the trials and
hardships of the early settlers of this coun-
try, for the space of forty-four years. II

REsusIcArIov FROM APPARENT DEATH

REsUsIcATIoN FROM APPARENT DEATu.-
The Rockport Register gives the particulars
of a singular case of rcsusication after sup
posed death, in that city.
n child had, to all appearances, died,
and was laid out in is little winding sheet
upon board in an upper room, while the
other preparations were going forward fol
the funeral. The sexton was notified and
the grave dug. Some time after the faith
er went up stairs into the room where the
child was, and was astonished mt its calling
him by name, and complaining that it did
not lie good. Ofcourso the little sufferer
was supplied with better bed at once. II

which it was awakened by hard bed and

PoLITIcs AND PIET1.-The Americans,
are go ahead people, and the facility with
which they turn from one employment To-
another is truly astonishing, diversity of
pursuits is exceedingly attractive to this
interesting brotherhood. They will burn
down church, belabor 'Dutchman,' OF
black the eyes of 'bogtrotter,' and then
go into their lodges and get down on their
knees and open their meetings with prayerl
Their piety resemb e that of young lass
who came home from a camp meeting and
did nothing for whole week afterwards
but sing
's5hout. Shout, we're gainin' ground"
An old dog ran in one day, while she
was engaged in her religious exercises, and
giving away TO temptation, made grab
al bone on the table; wher he was salu-
I'D with the following pious poetical adj
dress:
'.If you don't get out III knock you down,
