Trinity Churchyard, New York, stands the monument-tomb of Alexander Hamilton, who was probably the greatest constructive statesman this country ever produced. A few miles away, at Princeton, N. J. (although Richmond, 8. I.), is the grave of Hamilton's great rival, Aaron Burr. The personal and political enmities of these two men culminated in @ tragic duel, at the very gateway of New York, whose consequences fis- terially affected the course of history in the Western Her ‘sphere. Hamilton was a native of the island of Nevis in the West Indies, where he was born in 1757. A strange mystery surrounded his parentage. Being sent to the Colonies to get an education, be entered King’s College, now ‘While a mere collegian he Let's make up our minds that won't go to bed to-night untill half- bret ‘Now what shall we do?

In thie struggle the great influence of Alexander Ham- {ton was used against Aaron Burr, and to the former the latter ascribed hie crushing defeat. & long correspondence followed, in which Hamilton strove to be pacific, but Burr was implacable and challenged hie rival to a duel.
