In a letter to Gen.eral Harden Mr. Payne wrote: New York, March 22. 1S2S. For your daughter’s flattering request about “Home, Sweet Home,” do me the favor to offer her my best thanks.

During hi'* sojourn in London he was too po r to pay for lodgings, so rented for a shill ing s board upon which to sleep. To this his only home he went and by morning the music had | been shaped into words. The most probable story, how- ver. is given by Gabriel Harrison I who says he gives It from the “Autobiograohv of John Howard Payne.” Mr. Payne says: “I first heard the air in Italy. One beautiful morning I was strolling -alone amid, some delight- Jenny Lind, the Swedish Night ingale. was singing in the Nation- si Hall at Washington City.

Sweet Home.” It is said that a whirlwind of enthusiasm swept the audience and that Daniel Webster, unable to control himself, wept aloud. This must have brought joy to the heart of Payne, and great sat isfaction for he had felt that hia life was a failure and no one ap preciated his genius, or his love. Miss Harden ordered the gruel made at once, much to the disgust of the Cook wht said “Ole Mis’* ai- waya kept apple and mince meat pl*« ready for her guests, and I never thought of giving them gruel.” Old Rob Roy, the butler, was still more dlrguested, for he had been accustomed to handing to guests la his mastev's home Union College, which he accented fruit cake and wine.
