“HOME, SWEET HOME.”
Reminiscences of the Author.
It was in the winter of 1842-S, when
I had rooms in the towor of the New
York University, facing Washington
Square,, that I met John Howard
Payn?, of
Home.” He liad lodged fn or near
Fifth Avenue, farther out: and in the
morning, on hit way down, he would
almost invariably call between 10 or
11, talk a while, and then together we
moved on slowly toward the centre of
the city ; he stopping to see every curi
os£y in the windows as we passed, as
highly elated as a half grown boy from
the country would be afc every supprise,
though at that time he h:d been a
traveler over the greater part of the
world, had seen every variety of life,
and was in the meridian of his man
hood;
His temper and bis uniform outward
mood was as smooth and gentle as a
summer’s lake at eve, not even like it,
disturbed by the gentle zephyrs.
We had not met since 1841, when I
was one of the managers of the Ameri
can Institute. I chanced to bo intro
duced to him quite accidentally, at the
old City Hotel, a very handsome brick
buildding of that day, standing on the
right hand side of Broadway going
down, just this side of Trinity church,
at the head of Wall street, kept by
Jennings & Willard, the latter of fa
mous memory, long since dead, I be
lieve. Were we to pass by his hotel,
Willard, would probably shake hands,
and exclaim, ‘‘Oh, yes! I recollect
you—recollect you very well. You
were with Payne and your erratic bro
ther. You took a julep about 12 o'clock,
and Payne wanted his made with plain
brandy, very weak. I had just bought
half a ton of the bast loaf sugar to be
found in the market.’ None of your
readers, who go back to those days,
thirty years ago, who recollect the pro
prietors, famous the world over of the
old City Hotel, but will pardon this
digression.
In the spring of ’43, as I commenced
to say, Jdb& Howard-Payne gave me
au account of his adventure in Georgia
among the whites, bordering on their
settlements along the Choctaw Cher
okee Indians.
Payne, like many of our literati of
small letters, had a strong smypathy
for other men’s right and homes, and
without thought of exciting anger, ex
pressed bis kindly feelings to any and
evDry one.
It was at the time when the people
of Georgia, of the Indian country, had
suffered from massacres, night fires and
murder until they could endure the
outrages no longer, aud President Jack
son was favoring the removal of the
tribes to the west of the Mississippi.
Traveling alone as Payne was, with
out much baggage, so simple and out
spoken in his manner, it was not long
before he excited suspicion as an Indiau
spy; and when they -reached the next
stopping place i was whispered about
that he was an enemy, in sympathy
with the Indians who had 60 often
oommitted such terrible outrages on
the white people as to exasperate every
one to bitter enmity to them and all
their friends.
Not dreaming of the cause, they took
Payne, tied his hands behind him, the
most girlish man in the world, and
inarched him off between two strong,
fully armed men.
He saw his position and begin to
tremble and beg and protest and ex
plain who ho was, but to no effect. —
On.they marched for perhaps half a
mile through tickets and fields, passing
toward an unusually lighted and res
pectable looking log cabin. It was
quite late at night, and still the inmates
seemed to be moving, and as the party
approached nearer they hell'd flinging ;
finally Payne could distincly recognize
the music to “Home, Sweet Home.”
He protested and triod to break loose
and get to the house. They held him
hack. One of the guard went to the
house iu compassion for the prisoner, to
get him water, for he had fainted.
, Meeting an officer from the house —
which proved to be the. *f
some of tho United Spates soldiers not
long there—he said*they had brought
one ef the Indians, to have
written something about ‘Home,’ which
I never heard tell of.”
The officer’s curiosity was excited,
who hearing the song at the same time,
went immediately with the guard to see
the prisoner, whom he found stretched
on the ground.
“What is your name?” asked the
officer. #
''“John Howard Payne,” said the pri
soner, but only a little above a whis
per. •
“Good heavens ! is it possible !” said
the officer. “Unbind him immediately,
and bring water at once, or I’ll blow
the d—d brains out of every one of
ye!”
“Here, Payne, take some of this,”
handing him a rude camp flask, while
he raised his head with his own hand
that he might drink.
Soon Payne half dead was carried to
the honsc. There the whole matter was
explained, and our hero was soon in as
comfortable a room as could be obtain
ed surrounded by officers and ladies,
who did everything in their power to
calm and comfort the author without a
home.
As the earth turns on its axis, giving
twilight every minute of the day, with
its stranger homeless, so we may know
every minute in the twenty-four hours
are repeated in the sweet, melancholy
strains :
“Home, Sweet Home.”
It is sad to think that, although the
author lived to be somewhat advanced
in years, he died and was hurried in
foreign lands, without ever knowing
what it was to have a homo of his own.

A lady dealer in hair goods down
East heads her advertisement in the lo
cal newspaper with this travesty of Dr.
Watts:
“How vain are all things here below—
How false and yet how fair*!”
“But if for false things you will go-
Invest at once in hair !”
A well-known Connecticut clergj'inan
had a deacon who insisted upon lead
ing the singing at prayer meetings. He
was a great blhnderer, and he sang all
the sad and melancholy tunes he could
think of. The hymn was given out—
. “I love to steal awhile away.”
The deacon began : . ‘I love to steal,’
to old Mear; where lie- broke down.
He started with Dundee—‘l love to
steal.’ The third time ho commenced
aud broke down : ‘I am sorry for our
brother’s propensity; will some broth
er pray?’
The millenium is about to receive a
tremendous hurrying up. There is a
man in Lafayette, Ind., who is going to
do the business for us in a way that
will astonish tl e old forgies. Of coursm
he is going to start a paper. Its nam*
is The Siege , and here are a few things
ho proposes to do : “To stop the im
portation and manufacture, as well as
the sale and use of liquor; to break
down all monopolies; bring about fhe
repeal ot lax divorce laws: regain for
the family the healthful influence it
should exert in our social system; sub
stitute arbitration for war; promote
universal love; strengthening tho mor
al attributes of the Government; en
force home economy; cstabli-hed a non
sectarian school system ; suppress polit
ical partisanship; supersede selfish po
litical ecouomy by a more philanthro
pic plan, and defend labor against cap
ital.” And all of us can see this done
by simply paying $1 a year. Truly,
the press is a mighty power.
An editor out West has been elected

Stone Mountain, its Area, Height,
and Weight!! —The Stone Mountain
Granite Company owns 563 acres com
prising the Mountain and land adjacent
thereto. The Mountain covers about
250 acres. Its height above the water
courses at the foot is stated to be 1350
feet. The United States coast survey
party estimated it to be about
1200 fee/above the bed of the railroad.
An industrious Kentuckian lately esti
mated its weight to be 1,807,000,000,*
000 tons! fractions not counted. Quite
enough to occupy the entire commer
cial marine of Great Britian.and the
United States for 150 voyages of each
Vessel.
From the top one may look over a
radius of 300 or 400 miles; with your
opera glass the mountains may be seen

Hit The Nail on Tiie Head.— A
correspondent of the Washington Re
publican, writing from West Point, re
lates the following concerning some of
the questions asked the unsuccessful
candidates fotf admission to the military
academy at the late examination :
In history the question was asked,
“What social change did the rebellion
produce ?” to which a Southern candi
date, whose name shall be nameless, re
-0
plied : “It made the South hate the
North, aDd the North hate the South;
it freed the ‘nigger’ and broke a tie
which never can be healed.” q
And yot this boy, says the Macon
Telegraph , failed to pass in history ! If
the examiner wanted a true answer to
his question, he got it. A truer one
was never made. That Southern boy
hit the nail square on the head and
should have been admitted if he had
failed on all other branches. But per
haps his answer was not “loyal.”

Sound Logic.— Old Joe was a
quiet old man, but somewhat too fond
of the bottle. When in cups his ideas
tended toward theological matters,
which he always avoided in his sober
moments. It was Saturday afternoon
(Connecticut baking day), and his good
wife wanted some wood for the oven.
“Joe, I do wish you would go aud
split some wood; here it is nearly two
o’clock, and the fire isn’t made.”
Joe went to execute his commission,
but fearing his physical condition was
weak marched to the neighboring tav
ern to 'fortify himself therein. He re
turned home utterly oblivious to all
things save his pet theories. Seating
himself on a chair he said :
“I say, (hie, hie) Jane, do (hie) you
think (hie) the Lord (hie) means to
burn us all up (hie) in fire?”
His venerable spouse, being exceed
ingly irate, did not ansyrer. Again he
repeated the question. Still an omi
nous silence.
“Wife do you think that the Lord
intends to burn us all up in the fire
everlasting ?” / *
“No!” now thoroughly
aroused housewife ; “no, ofd Tool,
not if he waits on„‘-'you to split the
wood !” . n

is a compound of four classes of stones
a gglom’ii crated together so as to consti
tute a perfect gem of rare beauty. The
sloues comprised in it are agate, corne

other remarkable features of this curious

found in atones of any kind.

GOLDEN WORDS.
The habit of looking on the bright
side is invaluable. Men and women
who are evermore reckoning up what
they want rather than what they have
—counting the difficulties in the way
instead of contriving n£lns to over,
come them—are almost certain to live
on corn bread, fat polk, and salt flab,
ami sink to nnmarked graves. The
world is sure to smile upon a man who
seems to be successful; but let him go
about with a crest fallen air, and the
very dogs in the street will set upon
him. We mast all have losses. Late
frosts will uip the fruit, the bad banka
will break, investments prove worth*
less, valuable horses die, china rases
will break ; but all these calamities do
not come together. The wise courae
to pursue, when one plan fails, is to
Form another; when one prop is knock
ed from under us, to fill its place with
a substitute, and even more count what
is left, rather than what is taken. When
the final reckoning is made, it appear*
that we have not lost the consciousnes*
of intentional reotitude; if we have
kept charity towarde all men; if, fcy
the various discipline of life, we have
been freed from follies and confirmed
in virtue, whatever we have loat, the
great balance sheet will be in our favor .
Sacbjcdness of Tears.-— There ia *
sacredncss in tears. They are not th*
mark of weakness, but of power. They
speak more eloquently than ten |bou
nd toDgues. They are the messengers
of overwhelming grief, of deep contri
tion, and of unspeakable love. Oh,
speak not harshly of the stricken one
weeping in silence! Break not the
deep solemnity by rude laughter or in|
trusive footsteps. Scoff not, if the stem
heart of manhood is sometimes melted
by sympathy; they are what help to
elevate him above the brute. We love
to see tears of affection. They aro
painful tokens, but still most holy.
There is pleasure in tears—no awful
pleasure.
The Humorous Side of the Modoc
Campaign. —A correspondent
New York Timet,, writing from the
camp of Gen. Davis, says the Modoe
campaign is not without its humorous
features. Iu the field here they are
sometimes absorbed by active. move
ments, but throughout the United
States they are manifested in thepublie
journals, in illustrations, squibs and
sharp satires. Eaoh mail brings also
to camp an extensive correspondenca
for Capt Jack, and occasional note*
and postal-cards addressed to Schonchin
and Scar-faced Charley., It is surpris
ing to see how much folly is wasted la
this way, the new postal cards being
the mode of address. Tbo
Quartermaster is accumulating a small
museum of such contraband literature,
and it is rather amusing to read the as
sortment of ideas. One wishes Jaok
to come scalp the fellow who
wants to win his girl away from himj
another assures him he can get plenty
of volunteers if he will come to that
village; still again he is congratulated
on his heroism, and told to go on and
conquer. Business cards, congratula
tions, good advice, and fun are forward
ed as regularly by mail as any other
matter, and the extent to which it is
carried shows to what degree the sensa
tional element prevails among young
people. While I am writing this, a
courier ha 9 arrived with a fresh instal
ment of Capt. Jack’s extensive corres
pondence.
There is a government office vaeant
on tho Plains, and some enterprising,
hungry politician with a thick skin
ought to apply for it immediately.' It
is the office of a mail oarrier between
Cheyenne and White Clay, and the dis
tance is 140 miles. The pay is good
and the chances for fame are better.
The last incumbent left because the
Sioux chased him nine miles and filled
him so full of bullets that be couldn’t
discharge his duties.
