Tho EN-PresiGenI and Gov.
Brown.

II. Y. r., of the Cincinnati Com
mrcip', has just completed his fif-
tccnth interview with cx-President
johnson, and writes a racy letter upon
what Andy said. Among other things
hc alluded TO Gov. Brown, which II,
Y. r. reports as follows:
The ex- President considers himself
badly treated by John c. Brown. the
present Governor Of Tennessee. When
Brown came out of the army Johnson
pardoncd him, thus restoring him to
citizenship and protecting his peop-
crtyfrom confiscation. Brown always
protessCd much gratitude for this but
when Johnson ran for the Senate the
whole family Of Browns took a very
decided stand against him. When
Brown made his canvass for Cover
nor, he called upon the eX-President at
Misplace, eXpressed.hisg gratitude for his
pardon, as it was n pearl without price
at the time, and also Wished Mr.. John
son 20 understand that he was not in
the caucus that caused his defeat in
the Senate, that he had been misTep-
resented sc.
The exPrcsident talked to him pref
jy plainly, telling him that he wished
10 hear nothing about gratitude, as
That had played out" He accused
Brown Of having taken decided stand
against him for the Senate, and doing
his best TO cause his defeat, even if he
was not presenta at the caucus. This p.
could not deny and the two distinguish
ed Iennessecans parted coldly and have
not exchanged observations since.
IN Browns last speech of the canvas,
at Memphis. he pitched into Johnson,
calling malcontent and political mar
lot IL will remember him for that, "
said Mr.. johnson" and intend to re-
Fly TO it some of these days"

This snow looks like the snow we
have at the East" said Martha. "It
showed that way the time was tC
Bosting."
"Did it ?' said Bud, not thinking
of the snow at all, but thinking how
| much better he would have appeared
! had he left his arms and legs at home.

horse to Lewisburg 2"
Yes, he did :" and Bud hung both
hands at his side.
'You were very kind"
This set Buds heart a-going so that
he could not say anything, but he
looked eloquently at Miss Hawkins,
drew both feet under the chair. and
rammed his hands into his pockets
Then, suddenly remembering how
awkward he must look, he imme-
diately pulled his hands out again,
and crossed his legs. The was a si-
lence of a few minutes, during which
Bud made up his mind to do the most
desperate thing he could think Otto
declare his love and take the cOnse-
quences.
g You see, Miss Hawkins" j" he began
forgetting boots and fists in his agony,

Martha was sure it was coming now,
for Bud was in dead earnest, " and |
thought I'd just like to tell you. ef

here Bud got frightened, and did not
dare close the sentence rs he had in

"I'm real glad to hear it," said the
bland but disappointed Martha. Owe
used to have spelling-schools at
the East" But Miss Martha could
not remember that they had them 'to

Hard as it is for d bashful man to
talk, it is still more difficult for him
to close the conversation. Most men
like to leave q favorable impression,
and bashful man is always waiting
with the forlorn hope that some favor

without absolute discontinue. And

CHAPTER XIV.
BUD WOOING.

The Sunday that Ralph spent in
Lewisbnrg, the Sunday that Shocky
spent in an Earthly Paradise, the Sum
Shocky- instead of old MOwley, the
Sunday that Miss Nancy thought was
"iust like heaven" !" was also an event
full Sunday with Bud Means, He had
long adored Miss Martha in his secret
heart, but, like many other giants,
while brave enough to face and fight
dragons, he was a coward in the pres
ence of the woman that he loved. Let
US honor him for it. The man who
loves q woman truly, reverences her
profoundly, and feels abashed in her
presence. The man who is never
abashed in the presence of woman
hood, the man who tells his love with
out a tremor, is a heartless, shallow
egotist. Buds nature was uot fine.
But it was deep, true, and manly
To him Martha Hawkins was the
chief of women. What was he that
he should aspire to possess her?
And yet on that Sunday, with his
crippled arm carefully bound up, with
his cleanest shirt, and with his heavy
boots freshly oiled with the fat of the
raccoon, he started hopefully through
fields white with snow to the house of
Squire Hawkins. When he started
his spirits were high, but they descen-
ded exactly in proportion to his prox-
imity to the object of bis love. He
thought himself not dressed well
enough. He wished his shoulders
were not so square. and his arms not
so stout. He wished that he had
book-larnin' enough to court in nice,
big words. And so, by recounting
his own DEFICIENCIES, he succeeded in
making himself feel weak, and awk-
ward, and generally good-for-nOthing
by the time he walked up between the
long rows of hollyhOcks TO the Squire's
front door, to tap at which took all his
remaining strength.
Miss Martha received her perspiring
lover most graciously, but this only
convinced Bud more than ever that
she was a superior being. If she had
sighted him q bit, so as to awaken his
mbativeness little, his bashfulness
would have disappeared.
1t was in vain that Martha inquired
about his arm and complimented his
courage. Bud could only think of his
big feet, his clumsey hands and his
slow tongue. He answered in mono
svllables, using his red silk handlzer-
chief diligently.
us your arm improving ?" asked
Mis- Hawkins.
" Yes, think it is" said Bud, has
tily crossing his right leg over his left,
and trying to get his fists out of sight.
"Have you heard from Mr.. Pear
son >"
/" No, ha'n't,n answered Bud, re-
moving. his rigLt foot to the floor again
because it looked so big, and trying
to push his left hand into his pocket:
Beautiful sunshine, isnt?" said
Martha.
Yes, its" answered Bud, sticking
his right foot up on Oh the round OF
the chair and putting his right hand
behind him.

crly vaccinated, and to reject without
cxception all who fail to exhibit satis-
factory evidence of vaccination.
H. Be it Ordered, That. the atten-
lion of School Trustees be directed TO
the last clause OF liTt tDIll SecllOn DI
the school law which provides that
"nO person shall be allowed to attend

inclination to revenge himself on Bud.
