A Republican paper at Knox
vile, Tenn, referring to ex-Pres-
ident johnson. says:
The ex-President spends most
of his time in study. He writes a
great deal, and it is generally sup
posed that he contemplates soon
publishing book which shall be
q defense Of my policy and his
administration. He has some Wis
itors from a distance, and during
court sessions his house is daily
filled from early morning till night
by his friends from the country.
who think him the greatest man of
the age.
The people of the whole country
will be interested in hearing some
thing of the very estiu.able and
pleasant ladies who did the hon
ors of the White House with SO
much credit during Mr.. Johnson's
administration. Mrs. Stover, who
made many friends during her res
idence in Washington, married o
worthy merchant in Greenville
some months ago. She is now
plain Mrs. Brown, wife of the vii
lage merchant, but carries to her
now quiet home all the modesty
end dignity that graced the Exc
cutive Mansion. Mrs. Patterson
is with her husband on the farm at

WY LIKE FARMING. 1t pre-
Its me to the open sky, the winds
md the sun. / smell the fresh
mould; I hear the birds, the brooks
IA I see the grass and the wav-
als grain. I am in the midst of
re harvest after having enjoyed
time. This it does-my love
e3z farming. Were it not that l
ed it, should not enjoy it; but
axes me nearer to the bosom of
ID {. earth, where lie the great stra-
where the wonderful miracle
o d mystery of the world are. I
e ork a miracle myself yearly, by
!, growth of grain from this soil,
,se stata, so mysterious, so an
ci Mt, SO full Of history. Here at
;ll late day of the world the great
ee change is taking place-grain
tead Of ferns and trees and wa
and marine animals.
The farmer is in all this. He is
rounded by it, He is the lord
IL the king of the soil; plain,
nmon, like the beast of the field,
like his own quiet heards, giving
bread to thousands, feeding the
world; and he might feed another
were it necessary; so much matter
has he for bread; the earth, the
rocks, are filed with it.
He treads this free, fruitful
earth. His family is like him, free
and happy; that is the true farmer.
the farmer who loves his vocation.
Here virture thrives most. All the
graces have root here, along with
the flowers and shrubs; the brooks
cast their spray around the rude
rock and image the clouds. Such
