what Tom Moore says and What Ne
Did.

From "Memoirs Of Thomas Moore" in Amer
lean Edition Of his Works.
1t had been Moore's design and part
Of his agreement with Murray, in case he
survived Lord Byron, to write some sort
of biography of his friend, and the de-
struction of the Memoirs" did not alter
this purpose. A few months after that
event, in November. 1924, be caused his
intention TO be communicated TO Lady
Byron and TO Mrs. Leigh, suggesting a.
the same time that the family must
prefer shat hand upon whose delicacy
they could rely should undertake the
task rather than have his memory at the
mercy Of scribblers who dishonor alike
the living and the dead" The execu-
ton of this work was necessarily post
poned until the "Liie Of Sheridan
should be completed. Moore then went
to Hobhouse, whose countensnce and aid.
as Lord Byron's executor, it was of the
| first importance to secure, informing him
Of his plan and soliciting his co-opere-
ton. Hobhouse objected to any life OF
Byron being written, particularly to one
BY the author of the Life OF Sheridan"
having no high opinion Of his talents for
biography. Lord John Russell also en-
deavored to dissuade him from the under
taking Moore protested to see all the
objections to the meditated work, but his
heavy account with the Lougmsns made
it extremely hard to give up an enter
prise that was likely TO be so profitable.
! The embarrassments of the case were in
creased By bis having qusrrsled with
Murray, who was in possession Of large
quantity of Byron's papers, and, there
fore, BY far the most eligible person for q
publisher. A good understanding, how
ever, was 90 obviously for the interest Of
| beth parties that O reconciliation was
easily brought about, Moore making the
sdvaueec. This vas in Nay, 1926, two
\ years after the original difficulty had &C.
Cured. Negotiations were forthwith COM
menced between the author and the book
seller, but it was long tine before q sat-
isfactory arrangement could be made.
The "Epicnrean being finished in June,
1927, Moore had no more work Of couse-
quence on his hands. From that time be
devoted himself actively to the collection
of materials for The biography, visiting
for this purpose in the-eosTRe of the next
month DR.. Giennie, with whom Byron
was al school; De -Drury, Of Harrow ;
Mrs Shelley, Col. Nildmon, OF Newstesd

A practice prevailed in some parts of
the South, before the war, to have q
''goose-pulHug" frolic about the holidays,
conducted as follows. 4 goose would be
tied by the feet to the limb of tree, just
high enough for horsemau. in passing
under, by raising in his stirrups to reach
the head of the fowl and give it q pull
The string not being strong, a sharp jerk
would bring down the bird. Each 'sport"
paid the owner of the goose ''bit" for
the chance to pull it from the limb. II
he succeeded the goose was his. Some
times it would be hung a little too high,
aud so elude the grasp of the catcher as
he rode under the branch on which the
web-fOOied bird was suspended. In such
a case, as the horseman galloped past in
quick succession, the remark would be
made by the laughing and hooting by.
stauders, that everything was lovely
and the goose hung high"

GONE BEFORE.

There's beautiful face in the silent air,
Which follows me ever and near,
With smiling eyes and amber hair.
With vOieeless lips, yet with breath Of prayer
That feel, but cannot hear.
The ditnpled hand and ringlets Of gold
Lie low in marble sleep;
stretch my arm for the clasp Of old.
But the empty air is strangely cold,
And my vigil alone keep.
There's a sinless brow with radiant crown,
And a cross laid down in the dust;
There's q smile whero never shade comes now
And tears no more from those dear eyes flow,
So sweet in their innocent trust.
All vel | and Summer is coming again.
Singing her same old song;
But oh, il sounds like sob of pain,
As it floats in the sunshine and in the rain,
Ger hearts of the worlds great throDg.
There's beautiful region above the skies,
And long to reach its Shore
For know shall find my treasure there,
The laughing eyes aud amber hair
Of the loved one gone before.
