A Story of Andrew Johnson.

j
Andrew johnson vas s man Of i'm
petuous temper, given TO forcible, not
70 say vehement, expression Of his opin-
ions and feelings. Shortly fore the B4lti-
more convention which renominated
President Lincoln and placed hr
Johnson, then military Governor of
Tenneasee, on the ticket with him, Col
Granville Moody, the fighting parson," /"
was in Washington On biz way TO
PhiIadelphsa 70 attend the Methodist
conference, he being a minister IN that
church. He coIled at the White House.
President Lincoln questioned him about
johnson. In reply Col. Moody related
an Incl dent:
Il xss in Nashville Col. Moody
said, on the day it was reported that
Gen Buell. was going 70 evacnate the
city. The confederstes, heavily re-
inforced, we're said TO be within two
days march Of the city and everybody
was greatly excited. 1 went 10 Gov.
Johnson's Office and found two gentle
men with him. They retired leaving
the governor and myself alone. He
turl ed 70 me and said in the most
en-, hattie manner.
Moody, we're sold out. Buell. Is
tlsifor. He is going to evscuate the
city and in forty-eight hours We viii be
in the hands Of the rebels.
Then he began pacing up and down
the room, twisting his hands and ehahng
ike q Gagged bear. Suddenly hestopped
in front Of me and said, abruptly:
Moody, can you pray?'
That's my business, sir, as minister
Of the gospel replied.
Wei, Moody, ! wish you would
pray
Il knslt one side Of the room and
johnson on the other. As the prayer
proceeded johnson began to respond in
good old methodist style. Finally he
crawled over on his hands and knees to
where / was and pat his arms about me,
manifesting deep emotion. When the
prayer was concluded he joined me in
hearty amen As lie arose he drew q
long breath and said I feel better.
Then he began pacing up and down the
room again. After minute or two he
exclaimed
Moody, Will you stand by me p
a. Certainly will assured him.
80 I'm not afraid Of that Moody, for
you are 3 msn among a hundred
thousand.
He continued his restless walk to and
fro. Suddenly he stopped short, the
current Of his thought changed, and
szid
@Oh, Moody, don't want you 10 think
I've become a religious man because l
asked you to pray. am not and never
pretended TO be religious No one knows
this better than you, bat Moody, there IS

should be just ripe or little under ripe,

blackberries, rzspberTies, etc, can be
cooked in stone pot, which should be
placed IN kettle Of boiling water then
the contents should be stirred and mash

be heated slowly in the preserving ket-
tie and mashed well. In either case
