taught school up in the mountains, and
about every half hour had to remove his
coat and scrape off the dried paper wads
adhering to the nap. He never permitted
trif1e like this to unsettle his patience !;
he just kept on wearing that garberdine
until it had no nap, and the wads would
not stick. But when they took to dipping
them in mucilage he made a complaint to
the board of directors.

A PluckY Temperance Man.

Twenty years ago, a young man went to
Washington with a petition to Congress
from the people of old Massachusetts.
While in that city, he was invited to dine
with the celebrated John Quincy Adams.
Many great man sat at the table. The
young man had been poor, and was then
only mechanic in moderate circum-
stances. During dinner, Mr. Adams said
to him:
"Will you drink glass of wine with
me SIR"
The young man was temperance man.
But the eyes of many greater than him
self were upon him. They were all wine
drinkers, and it was no small matter to
decline such a request from his venerable
host. No wonder the young man was en-
barrassed, that he blushed and
hesitated. It was critical moment
for him. But he was true man. He had
real manhood, and he stammered
Sir, never take wine.n
Nobly said, young man! Massachusetts
heard that answer, and understood it. She
saw in Henry Wilson man who could be
trusted, and she made him one of her Sen
ators. To-day, as for several years past,
he has been known as Senator Wilson
God bless him May our readers follow
his example, and, however and by whom
soever tempted, stick to their principles /
