General JacksOn's Wife.
Many of.otr public men have been bless
ed with wives and mothers who were the or
naments of their sex, and their quiet and
{ennobling influence contributed largely to
the subsequent greatness Of their children
land husbands. Mr.. Parton tells the follow
ling story of General Jackson's wife:
When General Jackson:.Has a candidate
for the Presidency, in 1928, not only did
the party opposed to him abuse him for his
public acts, which, if Unconstitutional or yio-
Flent we're legitimate subject for reproba-
ton, but they DETAINED the character Of his
wife. On one occasion newspaper publish
FED in Nashville was laid upon the Generel's
liable. He glanced over it, and his eye fell
upon al article in which the character Of
{ Mrs. Jackson was violently assailed. So
soon as be read it he sent for his trusty old
servant Dunwoodie.

whisper, "and put my holsters on him. =
Mrs jackson watched him, and, though she
heard not word, she thought she saw mas
[chtef III his eyes The General went out
after few moments, when she took up the
paper and understood everything. She ran
out to the south gate Of the yard CT the Her
mitage, by which the General would have to
pass. She had not been there more than a
few seconds before the General rode up with
the countenance of a mailman. She placed
herself before his horse and cried out:

ed: Il saw it all in his paper after you
went out; put. up your horse ald 60 back.
He replied furiously: ''But will go-get
cut OF my way!'' Instead Of doing this, she
grasped his bride with both hands. He
cried to her, 81 say. let go my horse; Til
have his hearts blood; the villain that reyi-
les my wife shall. not live y ...
She grasped the reins but tie tighter, and
began to expostulate with him, saying that
she was the enc that ought to be angry, but
that she forgave her prosecutors from the
bottom of Eer. heart, ald prayed for them
that she should forgive, if she hoped to be
forgiven. At last, by her reasoning, her
entreaties and tears, she so worked upon her
husband that he seemed Modified to a GER
tain extent. She wound ur by saying, .'Noj
General, you shall not take the Life Of even
my reviler; you dare not DO it, fer it is writ
ten, Vengeance is mine, will repay, saith
the Lord"
The ircn-rerved hero gave way before the
earnest pleading ofhis. beloved wife, and re-
piled: IL yield to you; but had it not been
I for you, and the words of the Almighty, the
wretch should not have lived an hour
