PERFECT BovE.--Porfect love has
this advantage in il, that it leaves the
possessor of it nothing further to
desire. There is one object, at least,
in which the soul finds absolute con.
tent, for which it seeks to live, or darcs
to die. Tho heart has, as it were,
filled up the mouds Of the imagina.
ton the truth Of passion keeps pace
with, and outvics the extravaganza OF
more language. There are no words
so fine, no hattcry so soft that there
is not a sentiment beyond them that
is impossible to express, at the bottom
of the heart, where true love is. What
idle sounds the common phrases, ddor'
able creature, dirnity angel are =
What proud reflection it is to have
feeling answering to all these rooted
in the breast, unaltcrable, unutterablc
to which all other feelings are light
and vain Perfect love reposes on the
object Of its choice like the halcyon OF
the wave, and the air of Heaven il

Home. Sweet Home.

Though the trite old song, "Home
Sweet Home" has been sung within
the circle of every household, yet how
few persons Of all who have heard its
sweet strains know who was the au-
thor Of those beautiful words:
"Mid pleasures and palaces, though we may
roam,
Be it ever 50 humble there is no place like
home.'
1t has perhaps never occurred to
tho mind of any one unacquainted
with the circumstances, that the
writer of a song which has found an
echo in so many hearts, could be 9th
er than one who had experienced all
the pleasures Of a happy home; but
sad is the reflection, it is nevertheless
true that John Howard Payne, the
author of "Home, Sweet Home" tho
he has contributed to the happiness
of many homes, never had home Of
his own.
We clip the article below, sugges-
ting that monument be erected to
the memory Of Payne, and give it a
place in our columns, believing that
il will find response in the hearts of
our readers:

down the river without crossing, but knew that their
courses were crossing. The Cayuga knew that the

Whichever OF the two boats was moving with the
greater speed, whether the Watt when first seen
from the Cayuga was a little further up stream than
by the testimony OF witnesses that from the time the
vessels had approached within 800 yards OF each
other there was obvious risk OF collision II neither

with great ability and zeal. The counsel for the
appellant mas exhibited unusual ingenuity ana skill
IN presenting the best possible excuse for the
AMI relying on an expectation that the Watt would
give way ana pass under the Cayuga's stern: but In
my judgment the situation and course OF the two
vessels was plainly within the fourteenth rule, and
the collision was solely due to the neglect OF Its
Observance by the appellants vessel. The decree
must Dc affirmed with COSTS.
