ANECDork THE LATE VENERABLE J. An
AMs.-Near the house Of John Adams, lies mead
ow, with which is connected anecdote; which
the author Of the history Of Quincy heard Mr..
Adams relate The extract is taken from the A
merican Magazine Of Useful knowledge, and is
both interesting and insrructing, showing the
fact, that from accidental circumstances some
times spring great and important changes in the
lives and fortunes Of men. Iappears that when
young, President Adams senior, was not much
attached to study--to him it appears to have
been a task.
"When was boy, had to study the Latin
Grammer, but it was dull and hated it. My
father was anxious to send 10 College, and
therefore lstudicd Gramer till l could bear with
it no longer, and going to my father, told him
did not like to study, and asked for some other
employment II was opposing his wishes, anc
he was quick in his answer. well, john said
he If Latin Grammer does not suit you, you may
try ditching; perhaps that will. My medoaw
yondcr needs ditch, and you may put by Latin,
and try that
sThis seemed delightful change, and to the
meadow went. But l found ditching harder
than Latin, and the first forenoon was the longest
Of labor, and glad was l when night came on.
That night l made some comparison between
Latin Grammcr and ditching, but said not word
about it, dug the next forenoon, and wanted to
return to Latin At dinner but it was humiliating
and could not do it. At night toll conqured
pride, and ] told my father, one o. the sevcrest
trials Of my life-that if he chose I would go
back to Latin Grammer. He was glad Of it, e.
if have since gained any distinction it has been
owing tothe days labor in that abomnable ditch.
