THE POEM OF JOHN G. SAKE.
To him who sang OF Home. sweet home"
In strains sweet the simple lay
Has thrilled million hearts, we come
nations grateful debt TO pay.
Yet, not for him the bust we raise;
All. no can lifeoss lips prolong
Fames trumpet voice The poets praise
Lives i'll the music OF his songl
The noble dead we fondly seek
To honor with appau1ng bre am;
Unheeded fail the words we speak,
Upon the dull, cold ear OF DEATH"
Yet, not In vain the spoken word;
Nor vain the monument we raise;
With quicker thrObs our hearts are stirreJ
To catch the n0bleneSs we praise
Columbias sons-we share his fame;
IT'S for ourselves the bust we rear.
That they who mark the craven name
May know that name to us Is dear;
Dear the home the exile sees
The fairest spot beneath the sky
Where, frst-upon mothers knees
He slept and where he yearns 10 die.
But not alone the lyric fire
Was his the Dramas muse can tell
His genius could Kean inspires;
Kemble owned his magic spell;

He seemed the man the poet drew,
And shared with him the towns applause.
Kind hearts and brave, with truth severe

Will oftnest say. In pensive tone,
With reverent face and lifted hand,
TWAS he-by Fortune forced TO roam
Who, homeless In "A foreign land,
SO sweety sang the joys of homeW
The recital Of the poem greeted with great APP
pause after which the Grafton OF the day delivered
by VIM c. Dewitt. Corporation Counsel, who main
tanned the attention of the audience throughout, and
concluded his address inthe following words:
The song is short and simple. But IL has crowded into

and the peace of mind better than all" 1t s full OF
the fruit and essence Of its theme said awhile
that after his 18th year Payne never knew what home
was. Yet this know not For where Is our home All
know is that where the soul dwels that is country
and where the heart is there Is our home.
And to the sentiment OF the song and the memory
OF the man let this monument be dedicated and to the
honor OF its founders may it endure forever.

Destructive Fire At Haverhili.
A special to the Daily GLOBE, from
Haverbill, says that city was visited by
a terrible confsgration to-day. The
fire broke out in the Wsshburn block,
situated in the central business part o.
the city and near the Merrimsc river.
The Engine houses Of the CITY OF Hav-
erhill," one of the three steamers be-
longing to the city fire department, was
within stones throw OF the
point where the fire was disr
covered, and abundant water
was obtained from the Merrlmac
or Little river, which enters the her-
rimac there, and as there was no wind
there seemed to be no cause to fear
that the fire would be extensive. The
steamers got well to work, and would
probably have got the fire under con-
troll had it not been for the intensity OF
the heat and the volumes OF smoke,
which caused them to cut loose from the
hose and hy into Washington square
Half q dozen little frame structures,
tenements and stables, scattered along
the river bank and around Washburn' 8
block were destroyed. Tie fire spread
to Gilman's frame building on Wash
ington street. Prescott's block, adjoin-
ing on the vest, the finest mandatory
in the country soon blszed out and was
soon destroyed. The loss is not ascer-
tained.
