JEFFERSON AND TOM MOORE.

Tom Moore, then twenty-four years
old, had as yet published nothing which
had crossed the Atlantic but "gentle
Little's moral song" and Mrs. Jeffer-
son had no idea that he stood in the
presence of the young Catullus of his
day. Standing in his height of six feet
two and a half inches, the President
looked down on the perfumed little
Adonis, spoke word to him, and gave
him no further attention. Moore, after
this unflattered reception, fell to lam
pooning the President and almost ev-
erything American Some of his sour
rilous attacks fell into the hands of
Mr.. Burwell, formerly the Presidents
private secretary, who carried them to
Mrs. Randolph. The gentle Martha
was reused by such insults from man
who had been introduced into society
and patronized by the British minister
They were indignant, and agreed that
it was proper to place the matter be-
fore the President This was done at
Monticello, while Jefferson was reading
in his library. He glanced through
the obnoxious passages pointed out,
looked at his daughter and his friend,
and burst into a clear, hearty laugh,
in which they joined after moment of
reflection.
When Moore's Irish melodies ap-
peared years afterward, and the book
was put into Jefferson's hands, "Why,
this" he said, sis the little man who
satirized me SOL" He read on: he had
always sympathized with the Irish
patriots: and presently exclaimed
"Why, he is poet, after ALI" Hence
forth the bard of Erin shared with
Burns the hours of the retired states
man.

Randolph's first and only love was
