/ am anxious to say few words about
home. The song tells us, 'sthere is no
place like It," And the song is right.
But how few homes are there in the
world OF how many "homes which are
no homes" 1t is enough to make per-
son sick to think of it. Not one home IN
ten is deserving the name. And what
wonder. Look at it.
A young man meets a pretty face in
the ball room, falls in love with it, "mar-
RES it," goes to housekeeping with it, and
boasts OF having a home to go to, and a
wife. The chances are, nine to ten, he
has neither. Her pretty face gets to be
an old story-or becomes faded, or freckled
or tretted So and as that face was all he
wanted, all he paid attention to, all he sat
up with, all he bargaincd for, all he swore
to love, honor and protect, he gets sick Of
his trade; knows a dozen faces which he
likes better; gives up staying at home
evenings; consoles himself with cigars,
oysters, whiskey punch, and politics, and
looks upon his home as very Indifferent
boarding house. A family of children
grow up about Lin; but neither he ~.

SIR: Having been invited by resolution of
the body over which you preside, to cooperate
with it in requesting Mrs. Calhoun to permit the
remains of her late husband and our illustrious
Statesman to "respose" in Charleston, beg
leave respectfully to say, that should the family
the deceased submit the whole matter to the
decision of the people of South Caro!iaa, la;
their representative, would, in such an event,
decline to accede to the wish of the civil author
tiles of the city, mainly because it is not in ac-
cordance with the public feeling of the State
All that pertains to Mr.. Calhoun is the prop
ersy of the Commonweath, and where his body
shall permanently lie, oughtto be question for
its constitute authorities to settle.
After full and free conversation with tie
members Of the family now in this city, am
warranted in assuring you, that wherever his
remains shall be deposited on their arrival, there
will be their final resting place. To disintcr
them for another removal, in my and their judg-
ment, would create feelings of painful char
acter. TO the Capital, therefore, let them be
conveyed. As Columbia is the scat of the Le-
gislativc Assembly of South Carolina and its
College, it is peculiarly appropriate that the fra
mcrs of our laws and the youth of the State
should be- increasingly reminded of their respec-
tive duties by tie elevated associations which
tue grave Of him, WHO is ever to be so much re-
vered for his virtue and wisdom, would be so
well calculated to inspire.
l lam fully aware of tie deep attachment of
the peo lc of Charleston to our Late Senator,
and of tie many cogent reasons in favor of their
proposal that his body should be entombed, at
least temporarily, in the metropolis of the State.

gret is nitigated by the conviction that am
governed by high sense OF duty. Respectful
