ANEcDoTE OF JOHN Quincy ApAMs.-He
alrays dared to do right, Or what he thought
to be right. When minister at the Neither.
lands, and comparatively youth, he was in.
vited to Join the several ambassadors of diff.
ferent nations at that Court, in a gathering
for social enjoyment, in which cheerful con.
versation, and gaming for amusement, we be.
lieve, bore part Once they adjourned 10
Sabbath evening.-The time came, and the
ambassadors collected; but the American
minister was missing. 1t occasoned inquiry
and appointments but prcsuming some
special or invincible obstacle prevented his
attendance they said little of the circum.
stance, and adjourned again to Sabbath even-
ing. Bat the American Ambassador did not
attend. The next meeting WAS on week.
day evening, and the American was in his :
place They were glad to see him, and sig
nified their disappointment at his previous
absences. Instead of making an apology, or
assigning fictitious reason. he frankly stated
to them, that his principles would not allow
him thus to employ any part of the Sabbath.
He was born i'll Il country settled by Purtans,
OF Puritan parents, who regard the Sabbath
as divine ordinance. He had witnessed the
GOOD influence OF lis religious observance in
the greater intelligence, the pure morals, the
energy enterprise and orderly habits of his
countrymen. AS a friend of his country,
| therefore, he coull not pervert the day, or
use it for other purposes than those to which
he had been taught to devote it, and seen it
dcvo,ed-in whatever part of the world he
nigh, be, or by whatever different customs
surrounded!
| Now TO those who know the ':sneering"
character OF most Sabbath-breakers and think
of the age, high rank, and splendour of these
men i'll connection with the youth of Adams,
it would be difficult to name an instance of
moral courage superiour TO this. And it COM
pletely overawed his distinguished compa-
mons, and by instant and general consent
they met no more on Sabbath evenings
This anecdote we have no, derived from
any written "reminiscences of Mr.. Adams. We
received it from an American, some years
ago, who has few superiors as to his know
ledge of both the written and traditional his
tory of his country and indeed of the world,
and of the characters who have figured in it,
