The Toast of John Adams.

When Lafayette visited Loudon
County he was entertained with other
eminent guests by President Monroe
at Oak Hill. Leesburg, too, the his
toric town nine miles from Monroe's
county seat, accorded him honors on
that occasion, and at a dinner at that
town, John Quincy Adams delivered a
famous toast to the surviving patriots
of the Revolution who, he said, were
like the Sybilline leayes-the fewer
they became, the more precious they
were.
On the return TO Oak Hill, another
of Monroe's guests said to Mr.. Adams
excuse the impertinence, but
would you not tell me what inspired
the beautiful sentiment of your toas'
today?"
"Why," replied Mr.. Adams, "it was
suggested this morning by the picture
of the Sybil that hangs in the hall O
the Oak Hill Mansion.
Chow strange" remarked the less
brilliant guest, 81 have looked at tina
