"Quite We'll"

A year before his death the ven- erablo statesman, John Quincy Adams, infirm from age and dis ease, was walking along street Tn Boston when he met an old friend, who while he cordially shook his trembling hand, accosted him with the friendly greeting:
 "Good morning! And how $ John Quincy Adams this morning?"
 "Wel' replied the ex-president, John Quincy Adams Fimself is quite well sir, quite well thank you. But the home in which he lives at present is becoming qute dilapidated. It is tottering upon ts undatiOn-time and the sea. s ons have nearly destroyed it.. Tie roof is nearly worn out. Its walls are very much shattered, and it trembIes and shakes with every passing wind and storm. The truth is that the old tenement is very much out of order and his landlord dees not think enongh of the old structure to put it Tn re- par. It is becoming almost untel.- abe, and l think that john Quincy Adams will have to move out of it soon-yet he himself is quite well, sir, quite we'll.
