THE THREE ADAMS.

The three Adams Of American history are
Samuel, John and John Quincy,
Samuel, or the Elder Adams, as he is
sometimes called, was born September 27
l722, in the city OF Boston. He graduated
at Harvard College, taking the degree of A
M. at the age OF twenty.one years. He he.

unainching steadiness and courage. He was
in the first Congress ot the United States as
a member, and signed the Declaration of
Independence. He died in Boston, at. the
good old age of 80 years. His characteris.
tics were great firmness and quictude-very
precise and strict in his idens Of right and
wrong-and as careful in his regular, simple
daily living as he was conscientious, He

Adams should be silenced hy some lucrative
office is memorable and expressive -" Such
is the obsiinacy and inaexihe disposition of

is said to have been strong in his prejudices,
so much 80 as 10 believe that the wonderful
confidence Of tho people in George Wash

John Adams, who became the second Pres
il,nt OF the United States, was thirteen

In ancient Rome, du ing the period be-
