Tom jefferson at College.

In Ine WINTER OF IlOU tnere reSlQeQ at
Williamsburg, in Virginia, gay young
man of about 18, called by his intimate
friends sTom Jeffersom.' He was the
son of Peter Jefferson, "a respectable
planter, and was born in ,1743, at his
fathers estate of Shadwell, = in Al
bemarle County, whence, after attend
ing one of those rustic academies called
ssOld Field Schools, - he had come to
William and Mary College to complete
his education. z4tiIl, asas 1fgai
In person he was not graceful. His
figure was tall and thin, and his face,
according to an enthusiastic admirer,
"angular and far from beautiful His
complexion was sunburned, his hair of
"a sandy red, and his eyes gray, f1ecked
with hazel-an indication generally of
intellect. twill thus be seen that young
!MS.~I Om~.lattarsaaswas Eery.far~f from
being an Adonis, and many.persons said
he was ugly; but the animated express
sion of his countenance went far to re-
deem him from the charge. The gray
hazel eyes could fill with eloquent and
winning light. The angular face, lit
tie hard at first sight, became in mo-
ments OF excitement very mirror of
the thought or emotion of the brain or
heart. The tall, thin frame, incapable
apparently of graceful movement, was
adapted to- every exercise, walk
ing, dancing and Workmanship.
He was devoted to dancing. and
even when so old that he could scarcely
drag his steps along, mounted and con-
troiied with nerve and skill the most
mettlesome thoroughbred. His man
ners were easy and cordial. He dressed
somewhat after the fashion of beau
In lowered waistcoat, a silk coat, silk
stockings confined at the knee by fanci-
fully worked garters, and used powder.
In after years the statesman and Presi-
0rnr wore severe bEsrk, discarded pow

apostle of all things--in costume as in
political principles-of levelino
democracy. At Williamsburg, in 1865
hesdressed in colors, powdered, carried
his fine laced hat beneath his arm, bow
ed low, paid gallant compliments to the
fair sex, and danced at, every. g assem-
bly, held in the capital or vicinity. In
a word, the afterward celebrated Mr..
Thomas Jefferson was a beau and
macaroni," had a strong preference
Eapparently tor all that was in conflict
with his subsequent social theories,
laughed, TESTED, made love to the little
bellies OF the little capital, and was the
very last man whom any one would
have regarded as the future leader of a
great political party and the writer of
the Declaration Of Independence
