Rolling Rapidly.

Tom Moore called on Campbell one evening, and in the course of conversation Campbell mentioned a poem he had just composed and the manuscript of which he showed to iloore. It was entitled “The Battle of Hohenlinden,” the last line of the first verse of which read: “Of Iser rolling rapidly.” When Moore was departing he slipped on the stairs, which caused Campbell to ask: “What’s that? What’s that?” “I, sir, rolling rapidly!” instantly replied Moore.
