[From the Horn. Journal.] “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. —■ m —•— 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 town constable, nnd is now able to ar rest the attention of bis readers. 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 at Chattanooga, Tenn., on a clear day. —Atlanta Herald . 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.” -■ m ♦ 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 r -t-A A gnu recently found by a Huron I Indian on the shores of Lake Superior, 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 lian, porite and crystal. Among the other remarkable features of this curious go’n are the appearance upon each side, as if from ttie hand of an engraver, of a resemblance of a minature crown, the clearly defined forms of a black-and-tan dog, the head of an owl, the tracings of the shores of little lakes and. other re markable phenomena, rarely if ever found in atones of any kind. -■ “Vhen a feller makes his arm around his gal, und she vas liken dot pooty well, dhen dot va3 Slikribture, on akound it was maken habiness come on some raaist blaces, ain’t it ?” RULES FOR LEGAL AIWERTISXVGI Sales of land, tit., by Administrators, Eaeeutorei or Guardians are required by last Is As held ore I he first Tuesday in the month, Stieseen ike future of It. in the forenoon and three in the afternoon, at the court house in the county in which the property it situated.

NT (Me inek, or about eighty words, it a square; fractions counted as full eyuarte JNO. 44. 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.
