The Post evidently has poet at the head
Of its local staff Mr.. Willis Hawkins, the
postscript" man of that newspaper, has a
fad of writing with inks of various colors.
Yesterday he received gaudy bunch of
colored pencils from the city editor, and
was exhibiting later, with profound respect,
the following rythmical note;
My Dea' Friend Ha,vkins'
These found
Within bookstore just around
A Tenth street corner,
Thought I: "Aha These brilliant hues
VIII match the tints I've seen you use;
II they do not inspire your Muse
They will adorn her."
Some pennies TO dark-eyed girl,
Whose wavy hair seemed one vast curl,
Secured the treasure;
A purchase cheaply made, and yet
Whone'er her laughing glances set
My heart quvering, get
A double measure.
Life is letter, written fair
Or i'll, with lines of joy and care,
Run closely through it.
If 'twere not vain to sigh or plead,
I'd have a Hawkins take the screed,
And, turning DER the pages, read
The postscript to II.
Forgive this idle, rhyming serawl,
These lines that, limping, rise and fall,
Don't be too hard on;
My shambling Pegasus, revealed,
Makes awkward gambols In your field
III keep him, hereafter, concealed,
And beg your pardon.

Hamilton's son, Philip. few years b.
fore. while defending his father from
political attacks, had become embroiled
in duel He had met his antagonist at
Weehawken. opposite New York, and
been killed. Hamilton at this time was
SO impressed with the noxious influence
of the code that he published pamphlet
against 1t.
But there were many reasons why q
was difficult for him to decline TO meet
Burr. He had formerly sanctioned the
practice he now condemned BY serving
as second TO Col Laurens In duel with
Gen. Lee. His own son had fallen three
years before in (as IL was considered st
the time) q vindication Of his fathers
honor. He was prominent a. an aspi-
rant for the first Office in the gift Of the
people. Today duel would doubtlesD
decide the question against him. Thsr'
he regarded refusal to fight a. fatal to
his chances. Had he possessed . car
tain moral strength. often deficient In
some Of the Hamiltons, he would have
acted upon his convictions. Tie was too
weak to do this and accepted the ehai.
