Why first, the general idea prevalent, that to be
a farmer needs no previous education or apprcn-ticeship.-
This ideal prevails not only among the

erally among farmers themselves. . Hence the
many poor farmers! Hence the business does
not pay, i hence is degraded by those in its
pursuit. And yet it is the very corner stone of
ill other pursuits. ! for all other pursuits, what
ever be their, gradf or importance, a previous
preparation anu fraijug wyv-

Andrew Johnson Incidents in tna Lift ci
the Ex-President
The followtng is an extract from an article in
the May number of the XIX Century, from the. 1
pen of Gov. Perry, of South Carolina :
President Johnson came to Laurens 0. H,.
South Carolina, in 1827, and remained there
two years, working as a journeyman tailor. He
oame from North Carolina, where he was born
and served his apprenticeship, w 911s wur.uK
at Laurens he became engaged to a young lady
in the neighborhood, and went out one Sunday
morning to ask her mother, who was widow
lady, for the hand ofher daughter. He told
Govi Orr that he saw by the old lady s manner
that she was not favorably disposed toward him.
It -was late in the evening before he could mus
ter up courage to "pop the question. ,ybea
he did so, the old lady told him plainly that her
daughter should not marry a tailor and intimated
that she suspectea ne wameu bowb w -0""-The
young tailor boy and future President of
the United States, was so much mortified at the
rebuff he had received, that he determined to
quit Lafrens, and did so the next day.
Howfunfortuoate for the daughter was the
ill-judgment of the mother. Had she given ber
consent, her daughter might have been the occu
pant of the White House, mistress of ceremo
nies and fashion in Washipgton, receiving and
r.: minister and their ladies.

poor and obscure man. On the other hand, It

tailor boy. Instead of being PrestdoBt of tbe
United States he might bo still pursuing hu
bmsblo vocation. But this is not verv likely.
A nin with President Johnson's natural endow
uients, intellectually and morally, could hardly
pass through life in this American republic,
without elevating himself and acquiring honor
and distinction.
It is a remarkable and most wonderful fact,
that President Johnson never went to school a
day in his lifeV His father, who was a most
onaiUnt. ian. fillincr the cmce 01
town constable iu Raleigh, North Carolina, mes
senger of the bank and sexton of ft church, died
when his son was only two years old. The fam
ily were left in poverty, and at the age of ten
years, Andrew was bound aa an apprentice to
Ihe trade of a tailor. Whilst working as an ap.
prentio, some one came luto the shop with ft
book of speeches, and read one to the boyi.
This speech deiigntea Anuruw x Z
that he determined to read himsalt The book
was given to him, and in this book, with the as
sistance of his fellow apprentices, htf learned bU
letters and learaed to read; and after that a book
of some sort was evtr bis constant companion.
His wife ranght him to write and cypher after
they married. In the meantime ho must have
had his mind well stored with ft great deal of
useiui reading 1
It has been said, and widely circulated, that
President Johnson was Intemperate. There
never was, perhaps, less foundation for ruch ft
calumny. He has always been ft most tewpeTat
man throughout his wholo life. This will bo
testified to by all who knew him intimately,
whether friends or foes. Messrs. Bart, Asbe
more and other members of Congress, who tcrrea
with him for many years, assure me that noiden,
thing wa? ever snf-pectod whilst he was in Uoo
gresl Col. Williams of Greenville, Teno, who
baa known President Johnson all his We abd
resided with bim in the samo villiage. and be
tween whom there is a bitter fucd, told me not
long since that no one ever saw Johnson drunk
or suspected him of drinking to excess. In aJI
my visits to the President, m the dar t.me and
at night, I am sure he was never under the in
fluence of spirit .or wine in the slightest degree.
When inaugurated as Viae President he was ia
feeble health, and juxt beiore maa.nK u. --
hewasadvd to take a glass t of brandy. rol
being accustomed to the use of spirituous liquor
it did affect him. and the effect was noticed.
This first gave birth to slander. :
