When Jefferson waa Inaugu rated his predecessor did not even wait to receive bim. In 1823 Mr. Adams, feeling his growing infirmities, hoped that he might lire to see tbe fiftieth anniversary of the nation. Tbe hope was realized, and it seemed as though, being thus gratifled, the great intellect of the Revolution cared not to live throughout the day. He expired before noon, almost bis lust words being: "And Tliomns Jefferson still sur vives." - . Jefferson did survive,, but only for a few hours. He, too, had been desrous of living for the semicentennial anni versary of the nation. J Hut be was mo ill aiid fragile that it was not expected be would hold ho long. The morning of the Fourth of July, 1S20. enme at last, however, and with a satisfied look upon his face the author of the Dec laration soon passed away. ' Neither Adams nor Jefferson knew of the death of the other on tbo same day, for communication waa slow then. I'lve years nTter the death of Adams and Jefferson another ex-prewldent, i:iue Monroe, passed away; on the FourUi of July. lie was n resident of New York, ami, like Jefferson, was al most In object poverty n the time of his death, lie had been living the life of a recluse, humiliated both by flnart-i-Ui) embarrausnieuts nnd the inUfor tunes of iiis family.
