NOTHING TO DO.

Nothing to do! o, folded hands,
Why will ye be so white and fair!
When the busy world on every side
Calls for thy labor, thy earnest care.
Nothing to do! there are tired feet
Walking with thee life's weary road;
Show them the way in path so sweet
That leads to Heaven, that leads to God.
Nothing to do, but live in ease
When thousands fall in every side
You might have helped to bear the pain,
And breast the swift and rushing tide.
Nothing to do! thy days are light.
With golden ewes and sunny morns
You gather flowers, fresh and bright,
Some are tortured with cruel thorns.
Nothing to do when will you say
When the Lord of the harvest asks of you
"What gleanest thou in my field to-day?"
Lord, there was nothing for me to do"

"HOme, Sweet Home"

ohm Howard Payne, author of "Home,
Sweet Home" was warm, personal friend
of John Ross, who will be remembered as the
celebrated chief of the Cherokees. At the
time the CherokeeS were removed from their
homes in Georgia to their present possessions
west of the Mississippi river, Payne was
spending few weeks in Georgia with Ross,
who was occupying miserable cabin, having
been torcibly elected from his former home
number of prominent Cherokees were
in prison, and that portion OF
Georgia in which the tribe was
located, was secured by armed squads of the
Georgia militia, who had orders to arrest all
who refused to leave the country. While
Ross and Payne were seated before the fire in
the hut, the door was suddenly burst open
and six or eight militia men sprang into the
room and told Ross that he and Payne were
under arrest and must prepare to accompany
the squad to Milledgevlle, where they were
to be imprisoned. The soldiers lost no time
in taking their prisoners away. Ross was
permitted to ride his own horse, while
Payne was mounted on one led by soldier.
As the little party left the howell rain began
falling, and continued until every man was
drenched thoroughly. The journey lasted all
night. Toward midnight Payne's escort, in
order to keep himself awake, began humming
Home, home, sweet, sweet home," when
Payne remarked, "Little did expect to hear
that song under such circumstances and At
such time. Do you know the author ~
NO." said the soldier, edo you?" eyes,"
answered Payne, 81 composed it." "The
devil you did. You can tell that to some
fellows, but not to me. Look here, you
made that song you say; if you did-and
know you didn't-you can say it all without
stopping. 1t has something in it about pleas.
ures and palaces. Now pitch in and reel it
off, and if you can't I'll bounce you from your
horse and lead you instead of it, The threat
was answered by Payne, who repeated the
song in slow, subdued tone, and then sang
it, making the old woods ring with
the tender melody and pathos of the
words. 1t touched the heart of the
rough soldier, who was not only capivated
but convinced, and who said that the COM
poser OF such song should never 60 to
prison if he could help it. And when the
party reached Milledgeville they were, after a
preliminary examination, discharged, much to
their surprise. Payne insisted it was because
the leader of the squad had been under the
magnetic influence of Ross conversation,
and Ross insisted that they had been saved
from insult and Imprisonment by the power
of Home, Sweet Home" sung as only those
who feel can sing it. The friendship existing
between Ross and Payne endured until the
grave closed over the mortal remains of the
latter.
Colonel Tourtelotte, of the United States
army, states that the offer of an escort to the
viceregal party was made by him to the war
department without the knowledge or soici-
tation of the Marquis of Lorne. He thought
the party would enjoy the trip better and feel
less nervous in the Indian country if some
