able to prove this statement. The only satisfactory
evidence would be the production of the draft said to
have been copied by Washington and returned to
Hamilton. The fact is, probably, that Washington,
after making his draft, sent it to Hamilton for his
emendaton and suggestions, and that he adopted his
corrections and additions.

the original Italian of the discoverer Chris

from Portugal, he seems to have retained his Italian
family name, with single variation; for in the records

Viceroy and Governor of any lands which he might
discover, his recorded name is CIisoba Colon, which
is thought to be abbrevaton of ColRus, the name
of the patrcian family of Rome, from which he claimed
to be descended. The name of Columbus, which he

So gentle and 30 mild.
She was a tiny rosebud,
A fair thong fragile flower,
That could stand the winters blast,
But persisted from a shower.
Her eyes dark blue summers skies,
Her siken locks like jet,

And her dear little brother
Oh ! how he sobbed and cried,
And chung around his mother,
That night his sister died.
They laid her in the garden,
There, beneath the quiet sod,
Her body now reposes,
But her spirit is with God.
Oh gently bloom sweet flowers,
Around her sumbering head,
And MARBLE, MARBLE little birds,
Above her quiet bed;
And will hush the throbbings
Of this sorro7Ving heart the while,
And think l see mine angel

And dream of her at even,
When SUNSET gilds the west,
And hope to meet in Heaven,
