The WANDERISG SHEPHERDs.-The New
York Express chronicles the arrival in that
city of some of the distinguished clerical
shepherds who, while the wolf of cholera
was prosvling about New York, abandoned
their HoSks, and disported themselves at the
various catering places. We observe among
the names Of these shepherds some of the
godly ant Nebraska clergy, who, during the
anti-Nebfaska excitement cried aloud and
spared nd. We marvel that such holy men
should fear the cholera and desert their posts
when thef services were most needed. How
ever, theAcholera having disappeared, they
are back again, and having laid in fresh
supply of sulphur, are ready to belabor Ne
braska once more with renewed vigor. What
would have been thought of the primitive
shepherds, she twelve plain fishermen, if they
had spent their winters in discussing politics,
and their supmers in visiting watering places
whilst the, left Satan and Death behind
them, both hard at work among their respec-
tive fiocks? q

for the year above the level they usually
range, after year of high prices like the last,
but that is the worst consequences to be ex-
pected 1t is sery evident, adds the Econo,

FREE NEGRoEs.-The Washington Senti
mel, which has been examining the census re-
turns, states that prior to 1880, owing to the
more general emancipation which prevailed
then than now, there was greater increase
among the free negroes than among the
slaves. From 1880 to 1910, the free negroes
fell off Taper eent.-the increase being but
so per cent.-ttwo per cent. per year)-in ten
years. From 1910 to 1850, there was falling
off of per cent, and an increase of only IL
per cent, which does not exceed the number
of manumitted and escaped slaves.
The Sentinel shows, in contrast to this. that
the slaves are increasing in the ratio of 90
per cent. every ten years, and that among
3,2o4,3l3 slaves the number enumerated in
the census of $780, there were but 337 idiotic
and insane, and 81 idiotic and insane free
negroes, in population of 434, 495.

A raw downeaster was recently hired by a

worth. One day the proprietor showed him
very pretty mahogany venered bureau, and told

call for it in the course Of the morning. Short

SLEEP.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

Oh, bed OH bed delicious bed!
That heav'n upon earth to the weary head,
But a place that to name would be ill-bred,
To the head with wakeful trouble
'Tis held by such different lease!
To one place of comfort and peace,
And stuffed with the down of stubble geese,
To another with only the stubble.
The one, perfect Halcyon nest,
All calm and balm, and quiet, and rest,
And soft as the fur of the cony-
To another so restless for body and head,
That the bed seems borrowed from Nettlebed
And the pillow from Stratford the Stony
To the happy, a flrst-class, carriage of ease,
To the land of Nod or where you please;
But alas for the watchers and weepers,
Who turn, and turn, and turn again,
But turn, and turn, and turn in vain,
With an anxious brain,
And thoughts i'm train
That does not run upon sleepers.
Wide awake as the mousing owl,
Night-Haw or other nocturnal fowl
But more profitess vigils keeping
Wide awake in the dark they stare
Filling with phantoms the vacant air,
AS if that crook-backcd tyrant Care
Had plotted to kill them sleeping.
And oh when the blessed diurnal light
Is quenched by the providential night,
To render our slumber more certain,
Pity, pity, the wretches that weep, ..,
For they must be wretched who cannot sleep
When nature herself draws the curtain
The careful Betty the pillow beats,
And airs the blankets and smooths the sheets,
And gives the mattrass shaking
But vainly Betty performs her part,
If rufiiled hand and rumpled heart
AS well as the couch want making.
There's Morbid, all bile, and verjqicc and nerves
Where other people would make preserves,
He turns his fruit into pickles,
Jealous, envious, and fretful by day,
At night to his own sharp fancies prey,
He lies like a hedgehog rolled up the wrong way
Tormentng himself with his prickles.
But child that bids the world goodnight,
In downright earnest and cuts it quite
A cherub no art can copy
Tis perfect picture to see him lie
As if he had supped on dormouse pie,
(An ancient classical dish by the by,)
With sauce of syrup Of poppy.
Oh, bed |! bed bed delicious bed
That heavn upon earth to the weary head,
Whether lofty low its condition!
But instead of putting our plague on shelves,
In our blankets how often we toss ourselves,
Or are tossed by such allegorical elves
AS Pride, Hate, Greed, and Ambition!

FAMINE IN IRELAND.-A Dublin paper gives
melancholy account of the state of the laboring
classes in the eastern portion Of the county Of
Limerick. According to the writer 9it,.
"Every kind Of food is Mt such an enormous
price that it is absolutely impossible for them
to live. The want and misery experienced by
them are greater now than in any Of the famine
years. for although the,prces then ranged some-
thing higher, still money was in,circulation, so
that the Indian meal was within their reach. q '
"But now there are not, | believe, through
the whole two or three baronies in tho eastern
portion Of the county Of Limerick more than
$50 to 200 men employed either by gentlemen
or farmers, and that where so many thousands
would want to get work, it is deplorable state
for the poor people. 1t is true that the work.
house is open to them, but many, will not say
how blameabe, have repugnance to enter in
side its walls, and would prefer trying to work
for the merest pittance outside to going in.
"The accounts from another southern county
(Tipperary) are of similar tendency Every
article of consumption is rapidly advancing in
price, and if markets do not speedily come down,
misery among the poor may be expected. Po-
tatoes, the mainstay of the people, are scarce
and dear. They now rate from cd. to I'd. per
stone" ' 'ti

KENTUCKY SLAVES IN CANADA.-The Rev. II.
H. Hawkins, colored preacher, now residing
in Canada, formerly the slave of Gen. Taylor, of
Newport, visited this city last week, and while
here made some statements that will arrest at
tention. He states that there are in Canada
West four hundred slaves who absconded from
their masters living in Kentucky, within dis.
tance of one hundred miles from this city. Haw.
kins himself ran away from Gen. Taylor, but his
colored friends here have since purchased his
freedom from the heirs of the estate
There are in Canada, $4,000 fugitive slaves,
who are represented as in hourishing condition
just now, owing to the high price paid for labor.

edge of musical history, they will tell you Sir
Henry Bishop, or some such person, must have
the credit. The truth is this song is almost the
only thing that PAYNE ever did that is entitled
to remembrance. The author was maker of
melodramas, and musical plays. Home, Sweet
Home was song in one of them. Payne did
not remain in the country to see the piece per-
formed, and the first time he ever heard his own
song sung was in the streets Of great Euro
pean city. fits pathetic appeal to sentiment
which exists in every human bosom, gives it an
immediate echo over the whole world which has
not, nor ever will die away"
=" Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
BE it ever so humble, there's no place like home
A charm from the skies seems to hallOw us there,
Which seek thrO' the world is not met elsewhere.
Home home! sweet sweet home!
There's no place like home
There's no place like home!
An exile from home! splendor dazzles in vain.
Oh! give me my lowly thatched cottage again;
The birds singing gaily that came at my call,
Give me them with the peace of mind dearer than
all.

THE AUTHOR OF" SWEET HOME"

one whose name is as little known to the world
as single emanaton of his genius is widely

occupied the rooms under me for some time and
his conversation was so captivating that have
often spent whole days in his apartment. He
was an applicant for office at the tme-Consul
at Tunis-from which he had been removed.
What sad thing it was to see the poor man SUBJ
ected to the humiliation Of office seeking Of an
evening we would walk along the streets, look
ing in to the lighted parlors as we passed.
Once in a while we would see some family cir
Gle so happy, and forming so beautiful group,
that we would both stop-and then pass silently
on. On such occasions he would give me his.
tory of his wanderings-his trials, and all the
cares incident to his sensitive nature and power.
ty How often said he once, Il have been in
the heart of Paris, Berlin, London, or some 9TH

organ playing Sweet Home,' without shilling

The world has literally sung my song until ev.
