The occasion was this: Grey

who, by the death or my pa
rents became one to mo, giv
ing uio such education as I
received.carried m« on horse
back behind him to see the
race. He ant me on the cedar
fence and told me to remain
till he returned. In those
days not only counties but
States, in full feather,attend
ed the luce course us a great
national amnsentent, and the
same is still kept up in France
and England under the fos
tering cure ut each Govern
ment.
There must have been twen
ty thousand j ersons present.
1 never witnessed such tierce
bets between the States. Mo
ney and negroes vere put up.
A large pound was tilled with
horses and negroes bet on the
! result of this race. The time
had now arrived for the com
petitorsto appearon the track.
I heard some loud talking
and looked down the track
and saw for the first time
General Jackson riding slow
ly on a gray horse, with long
pistols held in each hand. 1
think they were as long as
my arm, and had a mouth
that a ground squirrel could
enter. In his wake followed
my unde Conn,Stokely, Don
* I so n, Paito n, A UUfirtj o% an A
several others us tierce us bull
dogs.
As Gen. Jackson led the
van and approach'd thejndge's
stand ' © was rapidly talking
and jcsticulsting. Ash©came
by me ho said that he had ir
refragible proof that this w as
to bo a jockey race, that
Greyhound was seen in the
wheat field the night before,
which disqualified him for
i the race, and that his rider
was to receive five hundred
dollars to throwr it off. and,by
the Eternal God, he would
shoot the first man who bro't
this horse upon the track;—
that the people's money sho’Id
not he stolen from them in
this manner, lid talked in
| cotmantly, while the spittle
; rolled from his mouth and
fire from bis eye. 1 have seen
bears and Wolves put at bay,
but be was certainly the most
ferocious looking animal that
I have overseen.
His appearance and man
ner struck terror to the hearts
of twenty thousand people.
If they felt as I did, every
ono expected to be slain He j
announced to the parties, ifj
they wanted some lead in I
jtln fr hides, just hying their :
horse* on the track, for, by !
the eternal, he would kill the
first man that attempted t >
do so. There was no response
to this challenge, and after
waiting for some time, and
they tailing to appeal*, (JenT
Jackson said it was a great;
mistake in the opinion of
soine that he acted hastily,
and without consideration.
He would give the scoundrel
a fair trial, to investigatetliis

proof, and do justice to all

Jackson waved ms hand and
announced the decWon and
said:' “Now, gcrttlefncn, go
calmly and in order,ami each
man take his own property.”
When the word was gi ven the
* J ■
people came with a mall. It,
was more terrible than an ar-j
tny with banners. They came |
bulging against the fence,and
in the struggle to get over j
they knocked it down for bun-'
dreds of yards. I was over
i turned and was nearly tramp
ed to death. Each man got
his property and thus the
fraudulent raee was broken
up by an exhibition of the
most extraordinary courage
He did that day what would
j have required two thousand

All this was effected by the
presence and action of one

and worthy object.
PUT VOURSI LP,

“I cannot wait any longer.
I mast have my money, and
I if yon cannot pay it 1 mast
j foreclose the mortgage and
soil tho place,” said Mr. Mer
ton.
“In that case,” said Mr.
Rbriuip, ‘it'wiH of ' Cmiiiio be
sold at a great sacrifice, and
after all the struggles 1 have
made, my family will again
bo homeless. It is very hard.
I only wish you had to cam
1 your money as I do mine;
you might then know some
thing of the hard life of a
poor man. It* sou could on
ly in imagination put your
self in my place, 1 thin!: you
would have a little mercy on
me.’
‘It is useless talking; I ex
tended tliiB one rear, and I
can do so uo longer,’ replied
Mr. Merton, as he turned to
bis desk and continued wri
ting.
The poor mail rose from liis

Mr. Merton's office; liis list
hope was gone. He had just
reeivered from a long fit of
illness, which had swallowed
up the means with which be
had intended to make the last
payment on his house. True,
that gentleman had waited
one year, whe n he had failed
to meet tho demand, owing
to illness in his family, and
he had felt very much obliged
I to him for doing so, This
i year he had been laid up for
several months, during which
ho could earn , nothing, and

iman watched her atten
in her movements; and fifty
for her began to steal into
hiabeart. When iter husband
entered, her features relaxed
into a smile, and she forced
! a cheerfulness into her man
ner. The traveler noted it all;
! and lie felt Himself forced to
admire this woman who co’d
assume a cheerful ness she did
; not feel for her husbamrsake.
j After th 3 table was prepared,
there was noth5ug upon it bat
j bread, butter and t- a. They
. invited the stranger to eat
; with them saying, ‘We hare
’ not mneh to offer you; but a
| cup of tea will refresh yon
; after y*»nr long journey.5
He accepted their hospital-!
ity, and as they discussed the
frugal meal, he led them, j
without seeming to do so, to
talk of their affairs.
‘I bought'.th is piece of land, t
said Air. Bishop, ‘at a very
low price, and instead of;
waiting as I ought to have j
done, until 1 had t-avid the
money to build, I thought I
would borrow two hundred j
dollars. The interest on the!
money would not be nearly j
as much as the rent I was
paying, and I would be sav
ing something by doing it.—
I did not. think there would
be any difficulty in paying
back the borrowed money.
But the first year my wife j
aud one nf my children were
ill, au«l the expenses baft me
without the mentis ittK |Mty
the debt. Mr. Merton agreed
to wait another voar,if I wo’d
pay the interest. 1 did that.
This year I was for seven
months unable to work at
my trade and earn any thing;
and of com so when pay day
comes around and this is
very soon, J shall again he
unable fo ment the demand.’
‘But, said the stranger,
‘will ftot Mr. Merton wait
another year, if yon nuke
all the circumstances known
to himT
*N«, sir,’'replied Mr. Bish
op, *1 saw hiur this morning
and he said he, miist have the
.money, and should bo oblig

‘He must bo very hard
hearted,’ replied the travel
er.
‘Not necessarily so,* said
Mr. Bishop. ‘The fact is,
theso rich men know nothing
of the straggles of the poor.
They are meu just like the
rest of mankind, and I aid
; sure if they had but the faiu

The uext day a boy called
at the cottage, and left a
package in a large blue en- ■
velopo, addressed to Mr '
Bishop.
Mrs. Bishop was very much
alarmed when she took it;
for large bine envelopes were
associated in her mind with
law and lawyers,and thought
that it boded no good. She
put it away until her hnr.
j band came borne from work,
when site handed it to him.
] He opened it in silence,
' read iti contents, and said
frequently, ‘Thank heaven!’
I ‘ What iv it John? inquir

‘Good news,’ replied Johu;
‘such news that I had never
hoped for, or ever dreamed
of.’
‘Wlmt is it—what is itt
Tell me quick—I want to

‘Mr. Merton has canceled
the mortgage, released me
from debt, both the interest
and principal, and says any
time I need any tnrther as

know I shall have it.’
‘I am so glad, it puts new

happy wife. ‘But what caff

‘I don’t kmm. It wftuw

I will go right over to his

He found Mr. Merton in,
and expressed his gratitude
in glowing terms.
‘What could have induced
you,’ he asked, ‘to show us
so much kindnesst’
‘I followed your sugges

‘and put myself in your place.
I expect that it world sur
