THE FIRST MEETING OF JEFFERSON AND
BURR.

The following nnecdote related by Mr.
Jefferson to the writer. while on q visit TO Mon
tcello, in the 1922. II was told in illusiras ion
of an opinion advanced by the former Ia relation
to physiognomy, that although IL was but folly 10
at,emp, system OF judging character from any
particular conformation Of features, yet the eye
was an unerrng index of the soul, and no training
the part of its possessor could prevent II from
disclosing his true moral nature TO a skiliul OBJ
l will endeaver to repeat the nrecdote
in the exact words Of the ilIustrious narrator.
During my attendance of the earliest
sessions ofthe Continental Congress at Philadel-
phia, said Mr.. j., l CHANGED one day TO dine a.
public house, where several distinguished gentle
men from abroad, all entire strangers TO me, had
Just arrived IN the city. Among these was gen
teman who became seated directly opposite TO
me at the table, and soon attracted my observa-
ton by his peculiar and remarkable appearance,
and especially by his siHgulary restless and subt>
~ quIvering eye, which TO me threw OIL on ex-
preston extremely sinister: for had ever noted
that we Of this character Indicated moral OBJ

seen. So strong indeed, were my impress
sions in the case. tina. fei, no hesitation in ma
king up for myself decided opinion of the true
character Of the man before mentioned, then IN
known TO me, even BIZ name.
After retiring 10 the private room OF the friend
a, whose invitation had dined there, he asked
me, with an air Of curiosity, if noticed the gen
tieman who sat opposite 10 me at the table we
had Just left, and if So wha: uas my opinion Of
him?
I,eplied, that had only noticed the man. bu,
formed decided opinion of him, and tina, was,
tina, his character might be expressed IN three
words-coo'ness. cunning. and perddy.
SWELL SIR" said my friend, IN great surprise,
"you cannot know the man Of whom yoI are
speaking; it is Mr.. Burr, the creates, lawyer IN
New York;
"Iwill no. alter nv opinion for all that" re-
marked, II have never known such an eye as his

Frederic Bond had listened 10 this in ecence
with clasped hands, and eyes appraised. He ut
tered not a word; but sinking on his knees beside
the bed with his wife pressed close TO his bosom.
he breaihed n solemn vow that it God would mer
ci'ully grant him The power to resist, he would
never again transgress his holy law, by touching
again that which had been the bano of his past
life.
This vow, made as il was without presumption
and without self-dependence, he enabled to
keep. he did not, many thousands have done
venture TO play with the poison he had forsworn,
but renounced it wholly and forever.
The effects OF this resolution, far they re-
lated 10 temporal affairs visible in the
happiness Of his fqnilv. in the resignation Of his
IespecthDlIty, and IN peace OF mind.
For the more lasting effects Of that resolution,
which divine mercy prompted him TO make, and
enabled him to keep, we must look 10 the regions
Of eternal rest, and count blessed spirit the

and light.
