ANEcDoTE OF GEN. JACKSON.

At the Southwest, the people delight to talk OF
General jackson; of his darling love of Justice, and
the prompt way of administering 'that article, -
when he found it necessary! was on the Missis-
sippi last summer, when | heard the following
story:
The General, then Judge jackson, was holding
court at little village in Tennessee, and dispens-
ing justice in large and small doses, seemed to
him to be required in the case before him. One
day during court great bulking fellow armed with
pistol and bowie knife took it upon himself to pa
rade before the shanty court house, and curse the
judge jury and all there assembled, in set terms.
fSSherif," sang out the Judge, ''arrest that man
for contempt of court, and eonfne him"
Out went the Sheriff, but soon returned with
the word to the Judge that he had found it i'm
possible to take the offender.
Summon a posse, them said the Judge, tand
bring him before me-"
The Sheriff put out again. but the task was too
difficult he could not, or dared not lay his hands
on the man nor did any of the posse like the Job
any better than he did, the fellow threatened ITO
shoot the first skunk that came within ten feet of
him."
At this the Judge waxed wroth-to have his
authority put at defiance before all tie good peo-
pie of that vicinity; so he cried out, "Mr Sheriff,
since you cannot obey my orders, summon me, yes
sir, summon me-"
"You, Judgew exclaimed the Sheriff in amaze
ment.
ayes, me,-summon me! I'll see what 1 can
do"
"Well, Judge, fyou say so, though don't like
to do it; but if you will try, why suppose must
summon you"
Every WELL" said Jackson, rising, and walking
towards the door, 81 adjourn this court ten min
utes."
The rufhan standing short distance from
the shanty, in the centre of a crowd of people
disappearing at terrible rate, and fourishing
his weapons, and vowing death and destruction to
all who should attempt to modest him.
Judge Jackson walked very calmly into the GEN.
tire of the group, with pistol in hand and confron
ted him.
"Now," said he, looking him straight in the eye,
Surrender, you Internal viliian this very instant
or I'll blow you through"
The man eyed the speaker for a moment, with
out speaking, and then put up his weapons, with
the words There, Judge its no use, give in, and
suffered himself to be led by the Sheriff, without
opposition; he completely cowed.
4 few days after the occurrence, when the man
was asked why he knocked under to per-
son, when he had before refused to allow himself
to be taken by whole company, he replied:
why" said he "when he came up, | looked
him in the eye, and | saw shoot, and there wasn't
shoot in nary other eye, in the crowd; and so
said to myself, says |, boss, it's about time sing
small and SO | did. "-Spirit Of the Times

SHARON.


Sharon There's magic in the sound;
There's not lovelier spdeof ground
That can be found in any cline,
Beneath the brilliant sun that shines,
Each gentle gale that floats along,
In accents sweet repeats the song;
Sharon, thou Paradise of earth,
"Thou land of dulcet songs of mirth."
Her superfce is strewn with flowers
Like pleasant labyrinthian bowers
And like the roscate tints of morn
Before the dew of heaven is gone.
The Sithera that of her sings,
Has ne'er begun to tune her strings;
But when in truth her voice she'll raise,
The chief of muse will stand amazed.
That which adds to her rerown
Is eer within her portals found:
IT'S virtues lamp and virtues fame
Whose dazzling beams proclaim her name.
Thy names cnshrned in every heart,
And beauty CLEANS from every part;
Oh! may no envy mar thy peace,
Or hatred cause thy joy to cease.
"Long may her flowers untramprd snriFg,
Her harvest waive, her glory rise;
Until old time shall fold his wings,
Remains earths loveliest Paradise
