How Andrew Johnson Learned
to Read.

A sketch of the late ex-President
Johnson in the Memphis appeal gives
us the following account Of his early
life
He never attended school day in
his life. While learning his trade,
however, he resolved to make an eff
ort to educate himself His anxity to
be able to read was particularly exhib-
tied by an incident worthy of mention.
A gentleman Of Raleigh was in the
habit OF going into the tailor shop and
reading while the apprentice and
journeymen were at work. He was
an excellent reader, and his fayorite
boot was Il volume OF speeches, prin-
cipally of British statesmen John
son became interested, and his first
ambition waAo equal him as read
er and become familiar with those
speeches. He took up the alphabet
without an instructor but by apply
ing to the journeyman with whom he
work he obtained a little assistance.
Having acquired knowledge OF the
letters he applied for loan Of the
book which he had SO often heard
read. The owner made him present
OF it, and gave him some instructions
on the use Of letters in the formation
Of words. Thus his first exercises in
spelling were in that book. BY perse-
verance he soon learned to read, and
the hours which he devoted to his ed
ucation were at night after he was
through his daily labor upon the shop
board. He now applied himself t.
books from two to three hours Of the
night, after working from ten to
twelve hours at his trade.
