BASHFUL JOHN.
John Patterson was driving his venera?
ble horse slowly homeward from the little
village of Brintou.
They were passing the low lying: farm
of Nathan Wynu, and John, not daring
for the life of him to turn his head, rolled
his great black eyes toward the substan
cial stone farm-house, in the hope of
catching a glimpse of Kitty, the farmer's
comely daughter. But though John kept
his eyes turned in their sockets till his
head ached fearfully, he saw nothing of
Kitty.
John was desperately in love with Kit?
ty Wynn, and had been so for many a
day, and yet he dare not tell her so.
He. generally managed to bow to her
when he met her, but even that brought
a great lump in his throat, and turned
his face the color of a penny.
As John passed over a little knoll and
out of sight of the house, Wynn's great
orchard?the trees ready to break down
under the weight of ripe fruit?was be?
fore him.
"What a while that miller kept me
waiting for my grist. I'm as hungry as a
bear, and must have a pocket full of those
beauties to eat on my way."
And with this John drew rein, scaled
the fence and struck out for his favorite
tree.
He knew as well as Mr. Wynu did
where the best apples were to be found.
John filled his pockets and was about
to retrace his steps to the wagon, when he
caught the flutter of a pink dress through
a cluster of trees, and heard Kitty's merry
voice in conversation with some one.
Stealing a hasty glance through the
trees, John recognized Kitty's companion
to be her cousin Hetty Shaw, from the
village.
They were coming directly toward the
tree under which John was standing.
What in the world was he to do?
He did not fancy running away like a
detected thief, and his trembling knees
and palpitating heart warned him that if
he did not wish to die theu and there, he
must seek a place of concealment.
To add to John's embarrassment, he
was conscions that he was not in the least
"tidied up."
He was in every day garb. To make
the matter worse, his clothes were covered
with flour, which had somehow got on
them while waiting for grist at the mill.
John glanced up into a tree, but the
foilage was not thick and there was little
chance for a hiding place there.
Near the tree was an inverted hogshead,
which had been used for a stand to pick
apples 1'rom the tree.
The hogshead had once been used as a
temporary dog-kennel, and a hole, per- j
haps eighteen inches in diameter, had
been made to admit the dog.
There was no time to be Tost.
The hogshead ofiered the only retreat
within the trembling young man's reach,
and he was not long in squeezing himself
inside of it.
The girls came on, and sat down on the
grass right where John, stooping and
peeping through the circular hole, could
watch them.
Kitty, he thought, looked prettier and
brighter than ever in her pink dress, and
the sun, which was setting in the west,
made her brown hair as golden as the ap?
ples in her lap.
Kitty held up an apple by the stem,
saying:
"Name it, Hetty; but not Will Joice,
nor John Davis, nor?"
?'Then stop; the apple is named," said
Hetty, merrily.
Kitty pared" and ate her apple, careful?
ly saving all the seeds.
When she had them all in her chubby
hand, she +hen came for Hetty to spell
the name.
Touching each seed with her finger,
spelled :
"J-o-h-n P-a-t-t-e-r-s-o-n. It spells ex?
actly. Why, Kitty, what are you blush?
ing so for? One would think that fel?
low's name was spelled out in your heart
in indeliible letters by the way you look."
Kitty said nothing, though she looked
uncommonly sober for her, John thought,
and he wondered if the girl's didn't hear
his heart beat.
He thought, too, that Kitty was angry
that any one would suppose that she
cared for him.
How humble he felt; he could scarcely
tell why; his cheeks burned with wound?
ed pride.
"Now, really, Kitty," said her cousin,
with a bantering laugh, "if you don't
drive away that forlorn look, I shall think
that you care more than your pride will
let yon acknowledge for that great awk?
ward booby, who hasn't courage, nor nev?
er will have, to ask you to have him."
"Hush, Hetty!" said Kitty, as she rose
to her feet, and her cheek had a flush of
deepest crimson. "You do not know
John Patterson as we do. He is not
awkward at home with his mother. You
ought to see how kind and considerate
he is to her. Father drops in there of
ten, and he says there isn't a more noble
hearted man to be found. John is indus?
trious; do you know what be does with
his money ? Father says he is paying off"
the mortgage on bis mother's little farm,
and when he has a few pounds more than
is necessary for a payment he spends
them for books. Mark my words, Hetty,
John Patterson will yet be a man that
you will be proud to class among your
friends; he has intellect of no common
order?it's only his great bashfulness that
keeps him back now."
"Now, Kitty, you are too absurd," and
Hetty laughed as though she thought her
companion in jest. "Well, it is leap
year; and you had better offer yourself to
this paragon; I don't believe he will re?
fuse."
"I know no one whom I would sooner
marry?so there I"
And Kitty's face was scarlet with
blushes as she made this frank acknowl?
edgement to her cousin.
But John was uot looking at her now.
He was crouched in the most remote
part of the hogshead, trying by different
gestures to drive away a huge mastiff
which threatened to make his where?
abouts known.
The sun has gone down, and John's
hungry horse had quietly walked home,
and still the two girls chatted away.
"Well, Bruno, what have you got
there ? I'm sure you have been whining
and pawing there for half an hour at
least."
And Hetty came forward and patted
the dog's hairy back.
"Why, Kitty, there is some dreadful
p.nimal in here. What a pair of eyes it
has. Thank my nerves, if Uncle and
Charlie are away I can fire a gun. I'll
soon show what that horrid creature is.
In my opinion here is where your geese
have "gone to. I'll warrant the ground in
there is strewn with bones. You and
Bruno keep watch, while I run to the
house for a gun."
Hetty rattled all this off in a breathless
fashion, and before Kitty had time to look
at the "dreadful animal" her cousin was
on her way to the housp.
What wa3 John to do now ? Stay where
he was or crawl from his lair, like a Hot?
tentot from his hut, and right before
Kitty's eyes too ?
The faithful dog began to wag his tail,
and whine with renewed animation, and
John thought the gun was really coming.
Life was sweeter to him now, since hear?
ing what Kitty had said of himself, than
ever before, and creeping to the opening
he began coming out.
Kitty, who was peeping anxiously in,
saw that the creature was moving toward
her, and giving a spasmodic little scream,
she sank helplessly to the ground, and
covered her face with her apron. Kitty's
distress made John for the moment for?
get that he was the most bashful of men
alive, and surely the arms which Kitty
felt encircling her waist were not those of
a jvild beast. ' ,.; ,: ,,; .,, .
Stroking this it' di<3 not* need a great
amount of courage to enable her to uu
cover her face, and see that the great eyes
that had so frightened her belonged to
John Patterson.
It is strange that neither she nor John,
during the half hour they tarried under
the apple tree, thought of Hetty or the
gun she had gone to bring.
Perhaps neither would have remem?
bered Hetty's boasted nerve in connec?
tion with the use of that weapon again,
had not the young lady herself, two years
later, reminded a certain happy bride?
groom and his equally happy bride of the
incident, and informed them that she
knew all the time that John was in the
hogshead, as she saw him put himself
there, and that her part of the conversa?
tion under the apple tree was indulged
in solely with a view to encourage the
bashful lover to propose.
Mrs. John Patterson scolded her cousin
bridesmaid for her duplicity, but for all
that it was plain to be seen that she was
not angry, especially since Hetty had
that day acknowledged that she was glad
to class her cousin's handsome husband
among her friends.
Counting the Electobal Votes.?
It is conjectured by some persons that if
Hayes be elected the House of Repre?
sentatives will contend that the joint
rules are still in force, including the
twenty-second joint rule, which provided
that in case of disagreement by the two
houses as to counting the vote of any
State the vote should be throwu out.?
This conjecture, however, is without
foundation, for there can be no joint
rules except by agreementof both houses.
On this point the author of "Barclay's
Digest," the very best authority in such
cases, will say in his next edition of Che
Digest :
"Wheuever the two houses may fail to
! adopt for the Congress the joint rules of
a preceding Congress, (which frequently
occurs,) it would seem, under the author?
ity conferred by the constitution upon
each bouse, (article 1, section 5,) 'to de?
termine the proceedings,' to be the un?
doubted right of each house, at pleasure,
to decline further acquiescence in the
enforcement of any one or all of them.
And hence, although the joint rules as
acquiesced in during the Forty-third
Congress appear in thin 'Digest,' the
following proceedings during the first
session of the present Congress would
seem to indicate that no joint rules are
now in force."
There have been other close elections,
but none so peculiar as this. In 1797
John Adams was elected by three votes.
Jefferson in 1801 received 73 voces and
Burr 73 votes, and the question had to
be decided in Congress. In 1812 there
was a difference of only 12 votes betweeu
Madison and Clinton. In 1844 Polk was
elected by the electoral vote of New
York, the popular majority in that State
being only 5,000. In 1848 Taylor was
elected over Cass by only 19 electoral
votes. Various instances are known
where State elections have depended on
100 votes or less, and the cas? of Marcus
Morton, chosen as Governor of Massa?
chusetts in 1835 by a majority of asingle
vote, has long been famous. But despite
other instances of close elections this
Presidential contest is perhaps the most
remarkable on record. And not only for
its closeness, but for the time consumed
in settlement, at a period when science
claims to have annihilated time and
space.
Wasn't Sick.?A Jonesboro negro,
while waiting for the train to go out last
night, struck up with several old ac?
quaintances.
"How is Jeems Roberson ?" asked one,
after the usual "time of day" had been
passed.
"Didn't you mean 'bout Jim ?" queried
the Jonesboro darkey.
"I ain't heerd fum Jim since he cut
loose fum de chain gang. He ain't down
with de billiousness is he?"
"Oh, no! Jim ain't sick, an' he ain't
bin sick. He des wanted to ride Mars
Bob Proctor's mule de udder Sunday, an'
de mule 'peered to have anudder ingage
ment. I done bin fool wid dat mule be?
fore, an' I tole Jim he better not git
tangled up wid her. But he 'lowed he
waz a hoss-doctor; an' den he aaed me
fer a chew of terbacker an' got de bridle,
an' cotch de mule, an' got on her?well
I spec I better go git my ticket. Dey
tell me dis train goes a callyhoutin."
"Hold on, you ain't tole us 'bout Jim,"
said one of the dusky auditors.
"I done tole you all T know. Jim
got on dc mule an' she sorter hump her?
self, an' den der waz a scuffle, and when
de aus' blow 'way 1 see the nigger on de
groun', an' de mule eatin' at de troff wid
one uv Jim's galluses wropped roun' her
hine leg. Den arterward de kur'er he
cum an' sed Jim died sorter accidental?
like. Hit's des like I tell you ; de nig
fer wazn't sick a minit. Well, I got ter
e gittin' on. .'So long, boys I"
? It has been a question with marks?
men whether the recoil of a pistol or rifle
occurred before the ball left the bore.
Many have contended that it did not,
and that the tendency of a pistol to
"throw up" did not affect its accuracy.
A recent experiment seems to have shown
conclusively that the recoil occurs before
the ball leaves the bore, and does affect
its direction. The experiment was this:
A rifle barrel, twelve inches long for con?
venience, was secured to a solid bed in
such a way to prevent any movement,
but that of recoil directly to the rear and
upward. In this situation it was fired a
number of times, aud the balls followed
each other into the same hole in the tar?
get. An incline or wedge was then made
fast upon the bed at the rear of the bar?
rel in such a way that &e breech would
be raised as it did baofc in the recoil.
Fired in this condition it sent the balls
lower than before. This showed that the
recoil in consequent elevation of the
breech, occurred in season to effect the
direction ot the ball, that is, before it
had left the bore. Of course the length
of the barrel has an effect in several ways
upon the degree in which the recoil af?
fects the accuracy of the shooting.
? A physician in Oregon gives the
following as a certain cure for rattlesnake
bite or snider sting: "Take the yolk of
a good egg, put in a teacup and stir in
as much salt as will make it thick enough
not to run off, and spread a plaster and
apply to the wound. Do this when bit?
ten or stung, and I will insure your life
for a sixpence. I have tried this remedy
in a number of cases, and have never
known it to fail.
? This note from a Chicago girl to her
lover was made public through a lawsuit:
"Dear Sarnie, Pap's watcrmillions is ripe.
Come and bring some poetry like you
brought afore. My love for you will ever
flow like water running down a tater
row. Bring a piece as long as your arm,
and have a heap more about them ring?
lets and other sweet things. Come next
Sunday and don't fule me."
? A little boy who was nearly starved
by a stingy uncle, his guardian, with
whom he #ived, meeting a lank grey?
hound one day in the street, was asked
by his guardian what made the dog so
thin? After reflecting, the little fellow
replied, "I suppose he lives with his un?
cle."
? A prisoner who was arraigned in
the criminal court at Cincinnati, on Tues?
day, when asked whether he was guilty,
answered: "I guess I am, Judge, but I'd
like to be tried all the same." He had
evidently heard that able lawyers some?
times cheat justice, and was willing to be
experimented on.
"Where'? the bar?" inquired a dirty
looking stranger of the bell-boy at the
hotel, the other day. "What kind of a
bar ?" asked the latter. "Why, a saloon
bar, of course; what do you suppose I
mean?" "Well," drawled the boy, "I
didpffc,know but you might mean a bar
All Sorts of Paragraphs.
? Those who come to you to talk about
others are the ones who go to others to
talk about you.
? If you want to see perfect human
happiness watch a school boy wrestling
with a big potato pie.
? Young man, do not so cruel a thing
as to win the love of a girl and then leave
her helpless and in tears.
? Not to be able to bear poverty is a
shameful thing, but not to know how to
chase it away by work is a more shame?
ful thing.
? The man who will abandon a friend
for an error, knows but little of human
character, and shows that his heart is as
cold as his mind is weak.
? Pretty girls are like confectioneries
in more ways than one. They are sweet,
they are expensive and they are condu?
cive to heart-burn.
? "I'm the saddest when I sing," sang
a Sunday evening warbler. "And so's
the whole neighborhood!" roared an un?
musical voice in the street.
? The Lexington Dispatch thinks that
they will not need any wood or coal in
the Senate chamber this session. Gary
will keep things warm.
? It is strange that the girl who can
crowd herself and lover into a very nar?
row rocking-chair, is the same one who
always occupies three feet seats in a horse
car.
? Systematic temperance in eating
and drinking is capable of shielding the
human body from the pestilence of all
climes, and from the fatal diseases of all
latitudes.
? We don't know that it was the epi
zooty that affected him; but he said with
some violence : "If that nose was running
for office, it would be elected by a hand?
some majority."
? It is humiliating to a young man
who has been singing his sweetest songs
in front of a house to be told by a police?
man that the family have been absent for
a week.
? "What have you got in your carpet?
bag ?" asked one clergyman of another, at
a railroad station. "Dried tongue," was
the reply. He had several manuscript
seimons in it.
? When a woman comes to the door
and calls after her husband, "Hen
R-E-E"?finishing the last syllable in
capital letters?you may know that she
is uot in a capital humor.
? Every man is said to have three
characters?the one he professes to have,
the one he himself thinks he has and the
one he really has. The last is not always
equal to the other two.
? "Shut your door when you come in,
aud when you have done talking on bu?
siness, serve your mouth the same way," is
the pert notice posted conspicuously
upon an office in Washington.
? A little girl, showing her little
cousin about four years old a star, said,
"That star you sec up there is bigger than
this world*." "No it isn't," said he.
"Yes, it is." "Then why don't it keep
the rain off."
? Mrs. Partington says she did not
marry her second husband because she
loved the male sex, but just because he
was the same size of her first husband
and could wear out his old clothes.
? Two ladies were discussing a third,
who is, of course, absent. "She is really
charming," says one, "and, above all, she
has such an air of intelligence." "Yes,"
answers the other; "but there are no
words to that air."
? A man in Buffalo pulled off his coat
and jumped in the canal to save a woman
from drowning, when a pickpocket stole
his pocketbook from the coat, and the
woman swore at him for pulling her hair
in his effort to save her life.
? A Springfield girl having rebuked
her brother for using the term "sweat,"
the latter bitterly remarked: "When it's
a horse, he's sweaty ; when it's a man,
perspire is the word; but when it's a
young lady, like you, she only glows."
? She wouldn't stand to have a tooth
pulled for one million two hundred thou?
sand dollars, she said, and yet she walked
the street all cky in tiny gaiters, two sizes
too small for her, and thought nothing of
it; but then nobody saw that tooth, aud
several saw the gaiters.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Scene in a Church.
There was a ludicrously sudden descent
from the sublime to the ridiculous in a coun?
try church, not a thousand miles off, when
a clergyman, preaching on the miseries en?
tailed by sin, suddenly exclaimed, "Thank
God. I am not a sufferer; ray miseries have
all been healed, and what did it?" The
change of tone started one of the deacons
from a drowsy mood, and springing from his
feet, he cried out, "Tutt's Liver Pills."?
The deacon was right in his estimation of
this celebrated medicine. They will certain?
ly cure your '?miseries" if they result from
Dyspepsia. Torpid Liver, Chills, Headache,
Loss of Appetite, Nervousness, Desponden?
cy or General Debility. Take the deacon's
advice and try them.
The American People.
No people in the world suffer as much
..ith' Dyspepsia as Americans. Although
years of experience in medicine had failed
to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for
this disease and its effects, such as Sour
Stomach, Heart-burn, Water-brash, Sick
Headache, Costiveness, palpation of the
Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up of the
food, low spirits, general debility, etc., yet
since the introduction of Gheen's August
Flower we believe there is no case of Dys?
pepsia that cannot be immediately relieved.
30,000 dozen sold last year without one case
of failure reported. Go to your Druggists,
Wilhite & Williams, and get a Sample Bottle
for 10 cents and try it. Two dose will re?
lieve you. Regular size 75 cents.
??"* Simpson & Sadler are giving
away a handsome book entitled "Pearls
for the people," containing much valua?
ble information aud many interesting
articles. It also coutains a history of the
discovery of the "Hepatine," for diseases
of the liver, dyspepsia, consiipatiou aud
indigestion, &c, and gives positive assu?
rance that when the Hepatine is used it
effects a permanent and lasting cure of
these diseases, which prevail to such an
alarming extent in our country. Take
the Hepatine for all diseases of the
liver.

The Hon. Alexander H. Stevens says:
"The Globe Flower Cough Syrup has
proven a most valuable remedy to me."
Gov. James M. Smith, of Georgia says:
"I shall always use it with perfect confi?
dence, and recommend it to the public
as a remedy which will afford that satis?
faction experienced by me and mine. It
excels everything for coughs, colds and
obstinate lung affections."
Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga., says:?"He
finds the Globe Flower Cough Syrup a
most excellent remedy."
Such endorsement by our great and
good men deserves the attention of the
afflicted. Those suffering from cough,
colds aud lung affections should use the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup. It will pos?
itively cure consumption.
