heavily in stocks. She dared not

was she to do? She had diamonds
to the value of $4,000. She took
these rings and bracelets and things

them with imitation stones that
looked just as we'll as the genuine.
and on the genuine Sc nes she
raised the money to relieve her
wants.
In the meantime the husband
had lost money at gambling and
had "debts of honor which must
be paid" low was he to get it ?
His wifv's diamonds? Capital idea !
One morning he slipped them in
his pocket and went to a jeweller' $.
"Can you take stones out Of
jewels and replace them with imita-

"Certainly."
" What would these be worth, or,
rather, what would you advance
upon them," said he, pulling out
the sparklers.
The jeweller looked at them and

'L"f ~
It was q Law of Tennessee, in early
days, that n man could be divorced from
his wife only by two successive acts Of
Legislature, and it took two sessions of
the body to accomplish the feat. APP
plication Cor divorce was made person
ally before the Legislature, and it was
decided by a vote whether the cause
should be heard or not at the next ses-
sion. If the decision was favorable, the
case was investigated by a committee,
who reported at the next session
favorably or otherwise, according to
the evidence, and the decree of di-
vorce was granted or refused as the case
might be.
Mrs. Jackson's first husband was a
miserable scamp named Roberts. She
left him and induced him to apply to
the Legislature for a divorce. He did
SO, and she, %supposing the decree
granted, after a year or more, married
Andrew jackson. After a time it was
discovered that Roberts had not taken
the case to the Legislature for It's sec
ond hearing, and q decree had not been
granted, although jackson had been
living with Mrs. Roberts for two years
as his wife. But a divorce was finally
obtained, AMI Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson re-
married according to the law. This III
nocent transgression of the laws of So
ciety and the State was the skeleton in
the closet at the Hermitage. This led
to the death of Dickinson, and was the
cause Of nearly all the seventeen duels
in which jackson was engaged. He
would allow no man to reproach his
wife for unchastity and she, it seems,
was quite as sensitive. In his cam
paign for the Presidency this scandal
was revived, and there is no doubt it
shortened her life. The aspersions
upon her character crushed her; that
she, who had been a chaste, faithful
wife for thirty-seven years ; the guide,
the leader, and the ornament of a re-
ligious circle, should be dragged into
the public prints and held up to the
contempt of Il nation as an adulteress
was more than she could endure. She
died of heart disease. Said one of her
friends {:
"Her heart was broken it was a
clear case of broken heart"

All the while she was speaking, Isa-

LiRGE ESTATES.

The number of landowners in En-
gland is growing clearly less year after
year. Little less than two centuries
ago it was about 200, 600. In 1851 the
census commissioners reported the as
founding fact that at that time the
number of landowners was 30,3l5 per-
Sons. Thus the whole of England and
Wales is the private property of 30,3l5
persons. This was IN the spring of
1851. OF these landowners L, 047 were
males and 1928 females. Twenty
years later the number of gentlemen
landowners had decreased to 4,191,
and the number of lady landholders to
s, 733-22,9 1924 in all. The income Of
English landowners from their lands
has increased enormously. The number
of land owners, it is Thought, is now
smaller than at any previous period.

THE ACORN.
An acorn swung

An acorn swung
On an oak-tree bough;
So long it had hung,
1t would fain fall now
To the kindly earth,
That its germ within
Might burst into birth,
And Its life begia.
And the autumn came
With its burning hand;
And each leaf grew q flame,
And each bough a brand.
And a worm came up
And began to eat
Through the hard, dry cup
To the acorn sweet.
And the acorn thought,
81 shall soon see now
Tbs life l have sought,
When I fall from the bough;
For the worm gnaws through
Each tendon slight,
That about me grew.
And bound me tight"
And with dying day
Came the zephyr's sound;
And the acorn lay
Next morn on the ground;
But its germ was gone
By the worms sharp teeth;
And the ground it had won
Was its grave in death.
