I was once a pastor at Schuylerville N. Y. where, on the Burgoyne surrender grounds, stands a celebrated monument. It is beautiful to look upon. On one side of it, in a niche, is a statue of General Schuyler, and on the other side, if I remember correctly, is one of General Gates. On the third, in the same sort of a niche, another distinguished general is to be seen, but the fourth niche is vacant. When I asked the reason, I was told that it is the niche which might have been filled by Benedict Arnold, had he not been a traitor. --J. Wilbur Chapman
