THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
IIY K.‘ r. CHRISTY.
The following, which ia snug by the Camphtdl Min
strels, is said to bo tlio Inst fashionablo negro melody
and in creating quite a sensation :
'Way down upon the Sawney River,
Far, for away—
Dali’s where my heart is turning ever,
I bill’s where de old folk* stay.
All up nnd down tlio whole crention,
Sadly I roam-
Still looking for the old plantation,
And for the old folks at homo.
All the world nm sad and dreary,
Every where 1 roam—
Oh, darkioe how my heart grow* weary,
Far from the old folks at home.
All 'round the little farm I wandered,
When I was young—
Den my happy days 1 squandered,
Many the songs I sung .
When I was playing wid my hrudder
Happy wiu I—
Oil, take me back to tny kind old mudder,
Dull let mo live nnd die.
All the world tun tad and dreary,
Every where I roam—
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary,
For from tlio old folks at homo.
One little lint among do bushes,
Ono that 1 love—
Still fondly lo my mern’ry rushes.
No matter whore I rove.
When will I lienr the bee* a humming
All 'tnong de comb?
When will 1 hear the banjo tramming,
Down in tny good old home ?
All do World uni *ad and dreary,
Every where I roam—
Oh, darkies, how my heart grow* weary,
Far from the old folks at home.
THE MOTHER’S GRAVE.
" Father, wake—the storm is loud,
The ruin is falling fast;
Ia-i mo go to my mother's grave,
And screen il from the blast.
She cannot aleep, she will not rest,
The wind is roaring so;
Wo prayed thatsho might lie in peace—
My father, let u« go.”
" Thy mother sleeps too firm a sleep
To heed file wind I Imt blows ;
There are angel charms that hush the noiso
From reaching her re potto
Ilor spirit, in dreams of the blessed Laud,
Is silting nt Jesus’feet,
Child, nestle thee in mine arms and pray
Our rest may be us sweet.”
AN IRISHMAN’S EXPERIENCE.
The following lillle poem, by Tims. Darcy McGee,
though simply told and making no pretensions to beauty
of finish, is nevertheless beautiful fortliu truth of its ear
nest feeling, It is replete with an exile’s love for
mother land, ami one or two thoughts are us fanciful
sail:
Twice linvo 1 sailed the Atlantic o'er,
Twice dwelt n« an exile in the west;
Twice did kind nature’s skill restore
The quiet of my troubled bretiRl—
Ah moss upon a rifled tree
So lime its gentle cloaking did,
Hut though the eye no wound could see,
Deep in my honrtllie barb wan hid.
1 foil a weight wlier’er I went—
I felt avoid within my brain;
My day hopes and my dreams were blent
With snide threads of im-ulul pain ;
My eyes delighted not to look
On forests old or rapids grand ;
The straiig'-r’s joy I source could brook,
My heart was ill my native laud.
Whnr’er I turned, «nme emblem still
Kouxnl contoiousucsM upon my track ;
Some hill was like an Irish hill,
Sonin wild hjrd’11 whistle called me back;
A sea bound (hip bore olf my peace,
Between its while cold wing of woe ;
Oh ! if I had lint wings like these,
Where my peace went I too would go !

EDWARD PELTON.
a tali; ok the kevolution.
In the mouth of April, succeeding the defeat of
that ill-fated but too justifiable rebellion which is
commonly known by the appellation of “ShayV
Insurrection,” two well-mounted cavaliers ap
proached at a rapid pace the only public bouse
which the town of could at that day boast;
a nd hastily alighting,orderedjsnitahle refreshments
for their horses and a dinner for themselves, with
an impatience which indicated that any delay in
the preparation would bo poorly compensated by
the superior quality of the fare.
Both were in the prime of life, active, athletic
nnd graceful in their persons, and easy and gen
teel in their address and demeanor; but a stern
non, mixed with something of deep care, gnve
a cast of rather forbidding severity to their other-
so handsome features.
The mysteries ol the kitchen were soon finish
ed ; aud in a few minutes our travellers were
quietly seated at a table, in a more retired apart
ment. whose only door communicated with the
room they hud lirst entered, briefly discussing the
frugal cheer which the unfrequented inn hud been
able at such warning to afford.
“ Five miles further,” said the older of the
guests, us they were left lo themselves by the bu
sy or careless lundlord, “ will bring us to the Ver
mont line.”
“ True,” replied the younger, 11 but do you con
ceive ihat nn imaginary lino will secure us from
pursuit by those whose official duty is stimulated
by political prejudices, and fortifiod by the expec
ted reward of it thousand pounds? •* 11a ! by
heavens," he continued, after a momentary pause,
during which lie had listenod with breathless in
terest to the heavy trampling of footsteps, which
at that instant been mo audible in the room which
they had first entered ; “ there they are !”
A short mutual silence followed this ominous
annunciation, hh our travellots snatched from .the
table, on which at the commencement of their re
past they had laid them, their well loaded pistols,
rapidly examining their priming, and, glancing a
restless eye at the door, seemed hastily meditating
wlmt course to pursue in their present otnergeu-
cy-
" It is indeed that indefatigable devil with his
packol hell-hounds," said the elder, in a suppres
sed yet anxious tone ; " 1 know his voice: Ed
ward, we have not a moment to loso : let us glido
Bolt ly out of this window, while it is yet in our
power, and once upon the backs of our faithful
steeds, they may catch us if they can."
“ By ImaveiiH!" replied Edward, Itis whole
frame distending with the intense glow of his re
solution, and Ilia keen gray eye almost visibly
flashing with the intellectual fire that shot through
Its stern exp.caskn—“ 1 entered through that door
and dead 01 alive, through that door only 1 will
retire. Follow me!"
His companion darted a glance of the most
piercing but gratified scrutiny at Edward’s feu-
tuns, us he responded: “ Sings my friond’a vojee
10 that tune 1 Advance then: it is not the first
timo we have faced death together: and cotne fie
soon or come bo late, lie can never find mo in bet
ter company."
Without further preface or deliberation, the
two friends advanced, side by side, to the door,
and throwing it suddenly wide open, discovered in
the room they were approaching the shorifFof the
comity and four assistant*, well armed, aud in an
attitude to dispute their passage. They halted an
instant to survey the numbers and hearing of their
antagonists, wlnlo the sheriff’, to whom tnoy were
personally known, advanced u litllo in front of his
companions ami said:
“ You perceive, gentlemen, that you aro fairly
cornered, and that resistance will be useless. In
the n tme aud hy the authority of the common
wealth of .MasHttchnsettH, I arrest you, Edwurd
Felton and James ShirllifT, as traitors and rebels,
and command you quietly to submit to tho laws
and justice of your country."
As lie said this, he cast a significant look at his
cumupuii ns, and supported by thorn, made a step
towards those whom ho had addressed; when
Edward, presenting with each hand a cocked pis
tol, cried out in a lone of deliberate and desperate
firiniu'-s, which nMuniahed at the same time that
it awed his auditors—" Eland ! on your lives I
charge ye, stand !’’
The.su words, and tho manner in which they
were interred, caused an instantaneous suspension
of tho movements ol the sheriff and his party, ami
Edwnrd continued : “Sheriff Itobinson, I honor
the zeal with which you uttempt to discharge what
you conceive to bo your duly, and heartily wish
your cause was worthy of it; but your prisoners
we are not. and, living, never will ho. You soo I
am prepared for the instant and inevitable dis
patch of two of you, and my companion is ready
to answer for as many ntoro. Stand back, there
fore, a misgive us undisturbed passage from this
bouse, or take the consequences of your own ob
stinacy."
Without “ waiting further parley,” Edward and
Itis friend, still presenting their weapons of death,
advanced with firm hut hasty steps towards the
outward door, llobiiisou, though a determined
mutt and un excellent officer, was not in a mood
to encounter certain and usoless destruction ; aud
Mich lie easily perceived would be the result of
attempting, with Itis small force, to drive to the
lust extremity two men who wore so desperate and
so well prepared. His assistants had as little
stomach for the encountor as himself. The na
tural, though considering tho disparity of force,
singular, consequence was, that Felton nnd Shirt-
11 If proceeded without further molestation, to mount
their horses, and with all the cool nnd provoking
assurance of perfect safety and the most nniaxed
and importurbed leisure, proceeded slowly on
their way towards Vermont.
The render will have already anticipated thut
tlio two fugitives were of the number of those who
a' that period were called, indifferently, “rebels/
“ ShuyitoM," or “ Shnymcn." In llmt daring, but
comparatively bloodless rebellion, they hud indeed
performed a most unlive nnd conspicuous part;
and were now fleeing from the wreck of their tow
ering projects and sanguine hopes, to hide their
fnllen fortunes nnd secure their personal safoty in
the province of Canada.
Shirilift', after their arrival at a place of compa
rative security hi Vermont, took an affectionate
but mournful leave of the companion of his toils,
perils, and misfortunes, aud without further inter
ruption proceeded to Montreal. But Edward,
when in the dejection of defeat and tho hazard of
a hot pursuit he had uddenly quitted his home,
left behind him private und urgent affairs of deep
moment in great disorder; aud, what wax of yet
greator consequence to his youthful and affection
ate heart,a lovely though disconsolate wife and
two tender infants. Weighed against these, his
personal safety,was to himofjittlc moment. Ho
halted, therefore ; resolving, when the heat of fu
ry ol tho pursuit had Homcwhnt abated, to return
clandestinely to tho town of Springfield, and eith
er conduct Itiu little family to the place of his re
treat, or effect such arrangements us should ena
ble them speedily to follow him. With this viow,
in well-sustained disguise, and by the most unfre
quented routes, he, in aUmitwo month* after tho
events we have recorded, reached -nn safety the
neat but unostoutatious habitation which held his
“earthly all.”
” I do not write to that dull «lf
Who cannot picture to himself”
the thrilling sensation of mingled joy and anxioty
with which Edward, on the close of a boautiful
summer’s evening, entered his quiet dwelling; iho
feeling of bliss, “ too big for utterance," with
which at the next moment he clasped his Amanda
to Ins manly bosom ; the tear, offspring not of griof
hut of sudden and unhoped for felicity, which nas
tily Hulfusod Iter dancing blue oyo as she sunk in
to hia arms, nor the infantile glee of Ids litllo Ed
ward, who skipped around tho room in an ccsta-
cy of unalloyed delight, as he exclaimed, “ My pa
has cotne home! my pa has cornu home !”
Edward, tinfortue iiely.did not long enjoy this
newborn plunaure. The hour of midnight had
hardly found him quietly reposing in the arm *, ol
his allectionato Amanda, ere ho was called to en
counter new perils.
* Stand fast, and keep a good look ou*! we havo
him now.” Such was the triumphant mandate
of the sheriff ol Hampshire to a posse of about|forty
well-armed and'sturdy yeomen, as lie stationed
them, at that sile'nt hour, around tho dwolling of
the proscribed rebel.
Edward, who at that moment awoke from tho
only peaceful slumber that had for many month*
visited liia eyelids, caught the portentous Bounds
of a mandate which seemed to seal his destiny.—
His resolution was instantly taken. Quietly hut
hastily nwnkenlng Itis wife, he in few words in
timated to her the nature of tlio threatened danger,
and the only course lor their tnutuul pursuit which
ptomised even a hope of safety.
By this time tho voice of tho sheriff, aa he thun
dered at tho door, was loudly demanding entrance.
“ Who’s there?" inquired the fttlghtly ogilatcsi
but still sweet tones of Amanda’s musical voice.
“ The sheriff of the county of Hampshire, who
demands instant admittance, in the name of the
commonwealth,” was the reply.
“ Tarry a moment," said Amanda, with an af
fected cheerfulness of compliance, till I can dress
myself and light a candle."
The request so reasonable, coming from a fe
male, wus of course granted.
Etlward, even in tins brief space, had resumed
his clothes, and which Amanda was more leisure
ly performing the same operation and lighting a
candle, he deposited in his bosom his trusty pis
tols, tied a few changes of linen in a handkerchief,
and stood ready for further operations.
Atnanda, with a lighted candlo in one hand and
the other so disposed as to give greater volume to
tho full skirts of a Urge mantle which she had
thrown over her ordinary attire, now approached
the outward door, followed, closely In a creeping
posture, by Edward. Everything being thus in rea
diness, she by a rapid movement, throw wide tlio
door anti stood firmly on its threshold ; holding the
light fur above her head and eyeing with apparent
composure the mass of living bodies that thronged
its entrance from without.
'* Who are ye, that thus rudely, and at such a
time of night, assail the quiet, and destroy the re
pose of a lono woman?" asked Amanda with great
dignity and firmness.
“ I crave your pardon, gentle dame," Baid tho
sheriff; but we shall soon seo whether you aro so
lone as you pretend. We seek Edward Felton,
an outlawed and a proclaimed rebel, whom wo
know to be in this house, and—”
“ Rush in, boys! I saw tho damned rascal in
the house this moment," exclaimed 11 hoarse but
stern voice, from the rear of tho throng.
Those to whom the exhortation had been ad
dressed waited neither ceremony nor second bid
ding; but rushod tumultuously into the house
with such Imste, that it required a very sudden
and decisive effort of agility on the part of Aman
da to|prevenl being prostrated and trod’ under foot.
Curses, both loud and deep, were now uttered
from all parts of the litllo mansion, as every hole,
corner, and cranny was scrutinized in search ol
the devoted victim.
Edward meanwhile was quietly pursuing hia
way lo Canada. As his wife stepped into the
door-way, in the munner wo Lave related, he had
crept under tho bottom of the friendly mantle ;
made his way among tho logs of tho anxious crowd
without whoso whole attention wus occupied by
Atnanda, gained their rear In safety, raised him-
sell, and in a feigned voice uttored tho exclama
tion which caused them to rush into the bmme,
and then provided for his own safety by a flight as
rapid as his pedestrian modo per-mitted.
Years rolled round ; a more stable government
became less vindictive aud suspicious ; an act of
general amnesty and oblivion recalled Edward
from his temporary banishment; and tho veteran,
who, in the struggle of the revolution, had fought
vuliently for his country, lived lo l>o a contented
and cheerful pensioner upon her bounty : recount
ed the “ hair-breadth scapes” of his youth with
great gaiety, and chuckled with unusual self-com
placency when lie told to his wondering auditors
" how he escaped tho sheriffs.”
Tho Marsollise Hymn.
ITS LAST APl’EAllANCE IN PARIS.
It was on tho last anniversary of our Declara
tion of Independence year—to wit : <m tho 4thof
July, 1851, that a largo number €f Americans in
Darts assembled in a public hall In do honor to the
day. A splendid banquet was prepared, and a
nutnbor of distinguished individuals wero present
us invited guests. Such an occasion is always
ono of pleasing gralulatio 1 nnd festivity to every
American citizen, but ii is e-q'-vially so in a dis
tant and foreign laud, upon which rests tho sha
dows of despotism. It is then that lie conpro-
honds tho full value of that independence, ana of
those noble institutions which we owe to the grout
event of 1770,—’tis then lie feels, in all its inten
sity, the gratitude and admiration we owe to our
revolutionary fathers.
Such feelings wore rendered more vivid in the
minds aud hearts ol the Americans in Faris, in
1861, from pepuliar local circumstances. Louis
Napoleon was then at tho zenith of his despotic
crusade against the freedom of that gallant but
versatile people, who had lost, by toogreat leni
ty and moderation, the advantages of tho glorious
movement of 1848, just as (hoy lost the benefit of
that of 1789, by too great severity and violenco.
Ho had established a Reign of Terror, not over
liie friends of Monarchy, but over tlio Republican
instincts and desires ol the French people. By a
rapid succession of arbitrary decrees, be bad de
stroyed all vestiges of the Republican movement
so gloriously begun two years before. The chiefs
of that movement had been driven into exile. The
freedom of the ptess was morcilesssly clove down
at one blow. All but the court journal wore se
questered, and oditors filled the prison. Tho clubs
were closed; names of streets, suggestive of de
mocratic ideas, wore changed; public ussomblics,
or, indeed, private assemblies, beyond a certain
niimbor, were prohibited; the strictest police es-
poinage established; the uttering of patriotic or re
publican songs or playing patriotic airs, wero
all forbidden under severe penalties. That glori
ous air, the MarHolluUo Hymn, was especially
mentioned in the Frofect’s orders, as particularly
offensive and odious to the tympanum of tho per-
jurod Usurper! Such a state of affairs, among
11 people ondeared to all Americans hy no many
noblo tics and recollections, could not tint deeply
affect tho hearts of our citizens then in Faria.
Tlio joyful and grateful feelings that usually
accompany the celebration of this glorious event
wero on tnis occasion, darkened, in )f-rcoptiblo
degree, by sorrow and sympathy for their brother
republicans of France. Still, the assembly was
held, and the celebration was duly perfointed, des
pite many hints and apprehensions of a prohibition
by the authorities.
The banquet was presided over by a gallant
Louisianian, then travelling for the benefit of In's
health, impaired by severe service in the Mexican
war. The usual patriotic sentiments and speeches
were given, and duly honored. A line band -was
in attendance, which lent tlio charm of music to
the pleasure of tho occasion. Among other
sentiments, which woro offered, was one of sym
pathy with republican movements in every part
of the world. It was received with loud applause.
Thu president ordered tho band to strike up the
Maraclluise. The leader of the baud shook his
head. A number of Frenchmen who wero present
looked frightened aud nervous. The president re
peated the order, when the leader advanced aud
showed him the edict prohibiting bands of music
to play the Marsellaiso.
‘Very well,’replied tho president; ‘if your in*
htruments are shackeled, our throats are not. So,
join me, gentlemen ;' and Immediately he broke
out, in full voice, into tho nobl t strain of that in
comparable sublime melody, and was joined by
the whole ^company, including many Frenchmen.
At these strange and unusual sounds, many per
sons in Iho streets stopped to listru. and soon a
crowd was collected outside the building, which
evinced the deepest emotion aud excitement, at
the scene of Americans singing in Paris, (hat
hymn—so dear to every true French heart—but
which, afos! was forbidden and prescribed In tho
capital, that owed some of ilo noblest monuments
and most glorious associations to tho inspiration
of that air!
Tho American who was tho last porson to sing
(lie Marsillaise in France, who thus, in a noblo
enthusiasm, maintained the character of our nation
—asserted the freedom of speech and feeling,
braving the vengeance of a malicious despot—
and proclaimed in Faris, mnid a hundred thousand
bayonets, tlio tmympalby of our nation in the as
pirations and struggles of French Republicana—
was Col. Paul O. Herbert, now a candidate fur
Governor of Louisiana.
