THE WOOLEN FACTORY BOY
In his early boyhood, Millard Fillmore was apprenticed to a woolen manufacturer, in Cayuga County! He purchased one year of his time, taught school, and, by his unaided efforts, acquired the knowledge which has enabled him to earn for himself the fame of a statesman, and which will have led to his elevation to the high office of Governor of the State of New York. How true was the remark of Mr. Granger the other evening, that the only aristocracy is intellect and virtue.—Rochester Democrat.
