tgoing the rounds, from an exchang,
paper. The individual referred to i.
Mr.. Sam'l Wiliston, of East Hamp.
ton, Mass. Tho circumstances as de
tailed are substantially correct
From poor boy he has become on.
Of the wealthiest citizens of Western
Massachusetts,. The academy which
hebuilt and endowediuhis own town,
is second TO none in New England
He contributed $4,000 at one time
to Amherst College, and the Mt.
Holyoke Female Seminary has been
muni6cently remembered by him.
Mr.. Wiliston is a noble specimen
ofa man, and the sketch below is a
brief account of his success:
WHAT PRUDENT WIFE DID.-A
fact, (says the writer,) which | came
in possession Of two years ago, may
illustrate the character Of the New
Englanders, and reveal the origin of
some branches Of their profitable bu-
sineSs. S. w was a son Of a
country clergyman, and was accus-
toned TO laboring on farm in sum-
mer and keeping school in the win
ter. He was moral, industrious and
frugal, and took a wife possessing
the same qualities, together with
shrewd propensity for calculating the
cost OF all articles Of living. One day
her husband brought home the cloth
and trimmings for a new coat. The
wife inquired The price Of the buttons,
which she noticed were made of
cloth, "lasting," or more fully, sever
lasting" covered on wooden button
moulds. She thought she could af-
ford as good a button. made by
hand, for less money. The next day,
like the true daughter of a Yankee,
she "tried tn e thing out" She
bought the cloth by the yard, and
moulds by the dozen; and in a week
she had better buttons, at a less
price, in market. The thing would
pay. S. w -, soon left farming
and school keeping, bought the cloth
which his wife cut into button covers,
and button moulds, hired the women
and girls Of the neighboring towns TO
make them up, and sold them at great
profits. tra1ag sr,a14-rs
Soon another entered into part
nership with him, and invented ma
to do the work. Then the
plain lasting was changed to figured
velvet, and satin, and twist. I'm
on improvement in ma
;hinery was made, ill they equalIed
he best English, or French, or Ger
nan buttons. S. w -, now owns
'ne of the sweetest villages in the
Connecticut valley, and almost sup
,lies the United States with buttons .
or coats and overcoats. He had en-
lowed an academy munifcently; has
contributed like prince to the funds
# highly distinguished and useful i
emale seminary, and has rescued a
Ioble college from EMBARRASSMENT
30 much for the carefulneSs Of a pru-
lent wife, and so much for a DISPOSE {
ion to earn an honest living in some
way, rather than thrive in idleness
IN the hard toll OF others. ~ ~ Il
