A Story of Andrew Jackson.

When Andrew Jackson was young
man attending court at Rogersvllle,
Tenn, he lived at hotel famous for its
good cheer. One day, as he sat on the
piazza, a youth came riding along
dressed in the PINK of fashion, his eyes
fixed on vacancy, replying not to the
salutes which it was the custom Of the
times for strangers to give each other.
At glance Jackson saw the fop, and de-
termined to play the part of Boniface.
He welcomed the silent stranger with
distinguished politeness, and the COM
pany around the fire made room for
him. But the automatOn was not to be
won to conversation. He walked up
and down the room contemplating his
own graces, and presently exclaimed,
commandingly: Landlord, | want
supperw Supper was spread and the
stately youth devoured it. Then he re-
sumed his walk, answered not a word to
I the remarks of the freside circle of
lawyers and judges, and Jackson grew
more and more wrathful. Landlord, l
want to 90 to bedr' was the next de-
mand; and he added, 81 want room
to myself" Jackson represented that
house vas full, and there was no single
room to be had; the young fellow was
not to be moved. Jackson disappeared
and shortly returned, announcing that
the guests room was ready. The two
went off through the front door, all the
company following, and stopped-at the
corn-crib, through the cracks of which {
light was shining. There'sy your room,
said Jackson. "Do you wish to insul
me, sir?'' "No insult at all, sir. Yol
vowed you would not sleep in a room
: with any one, and demanded room b,
. yourself. There it is, sir" al vow.

"By the Eternal you shall!" exclaime'
, Jackson, and grabbing the youth, he sen

: the door, And there he staid ali night
D and in the morning he was released an
dismissed breakfastless by the impetuou
Jackson. This is a tale related by a
ancient lady of Rogersville.
