BASHFUL JOHN. John Patterson wita driving his venera ble horse slowly homeward from tho little village of Brintou. They vero passing thu low lyn.g farm of Nathan Wynn, and John, not Oaring for the lifo of him to turn his head, rolled his great black eyes toward thc substan cial stone fp.ru. -houso, in thc hop? of catching a glimpse of Kitty, thc fanner's comely daughter, But though Johu kept his eyes turned in their Buckets '.ill bin hoad ached fearfully, ho saw nothing of Kitty. J hn waa desperately in love with Kit ty Wynn, and had been so for many a day, and yet he dare not tell her so. Ho generally managed to bow to her when ho met her, but oven that brought a great lump iu his throat, and turned his face ibo color of a penny. As John passed over u little knoll und out of sight of thc house, Wynn's great orchard-tho trees ready to break down under thc weight of ripe fruit-was be fore him. "What a while that miller kept me waiting fer my grist. I'm a? hungry as a bear, and must have a pocket full of those beauties to cat on my way." And with this John drew rein, scaled the leuce and strim1: out for his favorite tree. He knew as well as Mr. Wynn did where thc best apples were to bc found. John filled his pockets and was about to retrace his steps to tho wagon, when ho caught tlie flutter of a pink dre? through a cluster of trees, and heard Kitty's merry voice in conversation with some one. Stealing a hasty glauco through titi trees, John recognized Kitty's companion to be her cousin Hetty Shaw, from thc village. They were coming directly toward the tree nuder which .John wm standing. What in the world was hu todo? He did not taney running away like a detected thief, and his trembling knees and palpitating heart warned bim thal if he did not wish to ilie then and there, ho must seek a place of coticen)ment. To add to John's embarrassment, he was conscious that ho was not in the least "tidied np," Ho was in every day garb. To make the matter worse, his clothoH were covered with flour, which had somehow got on them while waiting for grist at the mill. John glam t il up into a tree, hut the foliage was not thick and there won little chance for a hiding place there. Near tho ire was an inverted hogshead, which bad been used for a stand to pick apples from the tree. The hogshead had onec been used as a temporary dog-kennel, and a bolo, per haps eighteen inches in diameter, had been made to admit tho dog. There was no time to be lost. The hogshead ofierod thc only retreat within thc trembling young man's reach, and he was not long in squeezing himself inside of it. Th?; guiris came on, and sat down on thu grass right where John, stooping and peeping through tho circular bolo, could watch them. Kitty, he thought, looked prettier and brighter than ever in her pink dress, and the sun, which was setting in tho west, made her brown hair as golden as thc ap ples in her lap. Kitty held nj? at: apple hy thc stem, saytug : 4 Name it, IKtty; bul not Will Joice, not John Davis, nor-" ' Then stop ; the apple is named," said Hetty, merrily. Kitty pared and atc her upplc, careful ly Raving till the seed*. " When she had them all in her chubby hand, she thou carno for Hetty to spell the name. Touching each seed with her finger, spelled : "J-o-h-n P-a-t-t-c-r-8-o-n. It spells ex actly. Why, Kitty, what uro you blush ing so for? ' One would think thnt fel low's name was spelled out in your heart in indclliblo letters by the way you look." Kitty said nothing, though nbc looked uncommonly sober for her, Join.' thought, and ho wondered if the girl's d'.dn't hoar his heart beat. He thought, too, that Kitty was angry that any ono would suppose that she cared for him. How humble he felt ; he could scarcely tell why ; his chcekB 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 caro moro than your prido will let you acknowlcdgo for that great awk wnrd booby, who hasn't courage, nor nev er will have, to ask you to haVo him." "Hush, Hetty 1" said Kitty, as she rose to her feet, and her check had a flush of deepest crimson. "You do not know John Patterson os we do. Ho is not awkward at homo with his mother. You ought to see how kind and considerate ho is to hen Father drops in thero of ten, and ho says there ian t a moro noble hearted man to bo found. John is indus trious ; do you know what bo does with his money ? Father sayB he is paying off tho mortgage on his mother's little farm, and when he has a few pounds more than is necessary for a payment ho spends them for booka. Mark my words, Hetty, John Patterson will yet be a man that you will be proud to class among your friends; he .'ios intellect of no common order--ita &?U 1::B great bashfulness that keeps him back now." "Now, Kitty, you aro 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 no will re fuse/' "I know no one whom I would sooner marry-so thero 1" And Kitty's face was scarlet with Mushes as she made this frank acknowl edgement to her cousin. . But Johu was uot looking at her now. Ho was crouched in the most remote part of tho hogshead, trying by different gestures to drive away a huge mast i ti' which threatened to make his where abouts known. . Tho sun has gono down, and John's hungry horse had quietly walked homo, and still tho two girls chatted away. "Well, Bruno, what have you got there? I'm ?ure you have been whining and pawing thero for half an hour at least.1' And Hetty came forward and patted thc dog'? hairy back. "Why, Kitty, there is some dreadful animal in herc. What a pair of eyes it lins. Thank my nerves, if Uncle and flltnrtjx. uro oivay T r?nrt Aro' fi min I'll soon show what'that horrid creature is. In my opinion here ia where your geese bnve gone to. I'll warrant the ground in thero is strewn with bones. Vou and Bruno keep watch, while I run to tho house for a gun." Hetty rattl?d all this off in n breathless fashion, and beforo Kitty had time to look at the dreadful animal her cousin waa on her way to tho house. What was John to dohow ? Stay whe^e he was or trawl from his lair, like a Hot tentot from his hut, and right beforo Kitty's eyea too ? Tho faithful dog began to wag bis tail, and whine with renewed animation, and John '..".tight tho gun was really coming. Life wa? sweeter to him now, nineo hear ing what Kitty had snld of himself, than ever before, an:1, creeping to the opening ho began coming out. Kitty, who was peeping anxiously in, saw that tho creature waa moving toward her, and giving a spasmodic little scream: ehe sank nelplesslv to tho . ground, and covered her face with her apron. Kitty's distress made John for. tho moment for get that lio was the most bashful of men alive, and BUJ?I? tho arms which Kitty felt encircling her waist won) not those ol a*wild{rcasl. ^. .*..., , lt, . I^Vin^tn& ?t did hof need a great amount of courage to cuuble lier to un cover her face, and nco that tho great eyes that had so frightened lier belonged to John Patterson. It is str?ngt) thnt neither site nor John, during the half hour they turriell under tile apple tree, thought of Hetty or the gun she had gone to bring. Perhaps neither would have remem bered Hetty'b boasted nerve in connec tion with tuc ure of that weapon again, had not the young lady herself, two years later, reminded a certain happy bride groom and his equally happy bride ot thu incident, and informed them that HIIU knew all the time that John was in tho hogshead, as she saw him put himself there, and that her part of the conversa tion under the apple tren 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 nil that it was plain to bc seen that she was not angry, especially since Hetty hud thut day acknowledged that she was glad to class lier cousin's handsome husband among her friends. CorsTiNo TUE ELECTORAL VOTES. It is conjectured by some persons that if Hayes bc elected tho House of Repre sentatives will coulond that the joint rules arc still in force, including tho twenty-second joint rule, which provided that in case of disagreement by tho two houses as lo counting the vote of any ??tate thc vote should bo thrown nut. This conjecture, however, is without foundation, for thero cn.? be no joint rules except hy agreetueutol both bouses. On tiiis point the author of "Barclay's Digest," the very best authority in suth cases, will sav in his next edition of Ibu Digest : "Wlii'iK'ver lite two bon?':.-, may fail lu adopt for the Congress thc joint rules of a preceding Congress, (which frequently recurs,) it would seem, under the author ity couferted hy (he constitution upon j each house, (article I, section ft.) 'lode* ! termina tho proceedings,' to be the tm - d jil h ted right of each house, ul pleasure, to decline further acquiescence in the enforcement of any one or all of them. And hence, although the joint rules us acquiesced in during tho Forty-third Congress appear in this 'Digest,' the following proceedings during the first session of the present Congress would seen, to indicate timi no joint rules r.re now in force." There have been other close elections, but none so peculiar as this. In 171)7 John Adams was elected hy three votes. JeUcrsfJll in 1801 received 73 votes and Burr 78 votes, and thu question bad lo be decided in Congress. In 1812 there was a difference nf ?inly 1- volo* between Madison and Clinton, lu 18-11 Polk was elected hy the electoral vote of New York, the popular majority in that Stale being only ft.OOO. In 1848 Taylor was elected over Cuss by only li) electoral voles. Various iiihtauces ure kunivn where Stute election-* have depended on 100 vides or less, und (he cns? nf Murcu.. Morton, chosen as ( inventor < ?' Mamut chusett* in 1K3T? hy a majority of usingle vote, has long been famous. Hu despite other instances of close elections this Presidential comsnt is perhaps tb? most remarkable on record. And liol i nly tor its closeness, but foi ihn ti nie continued in settlement, at a period when se nee claims to have annihilated time ami space. WAK N'T SICK.-A Jonesboro negro, while waiting for the train to go out lust night, struck up with acvtrul old ac quaintances. "How is Jecms Roberson ?" nsked one, alter the usual "time of day" had buen parsed* "Didn't you mean 'bout Jim ?" queried the Jonesboro darkey. "1 ain't boord furn Jim since lie cut loose furn de chain gang. He uiu'tdown with de biliousness is lie?" "Oh, no ! Jim ain't sick, an' he nin't bin sick.

So long, boya I" - It has been a question with marks men '"hellier the recoil of a pistol or rifle occurred before tho ball left the bore. Many have contended that it did not, and that tho 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 tho bail leaves the bore, and does affect ita direction. The experiment was thia ; A rifle barrel, twelve inches long for con venionco, was secured to a solid bed in such a way to prevent any movement, but that of recoil directly to tho r.-rund upward. In this situation it v "* Jred a number of times, aud the balls followed each other into the same hole in the tar Set. Au incline or wedge was then made asl upon the bed nt the roar of tho bur rel in such a way thai tte breech would bo raised aa it slid baok in the recoil. Fired in this condition it sent tho balls lower thnn before. This showed that the recoil in consequent elevation of the breech, occurred in season to effect the direction ot tho bail, that is, before it had left the bore. Of courso the length of the barrel has an effect in several ways upon tho degree in which the recoil af fects the accuracy of tho shooting. - A physician in Oregon gives the following a's a certain cure for rattlesnake bite or spider sting : "Take tho yolk of a good egg, put in a teacup and stir in as much Halt as will make it thick enough not to run off, and spread a plaster and apply to the wound.
