REBEL PRISONS.
BY DIR. II. ROTIIROCK.

lne snops OF tue city had mostly
been closed, ani one of the guard
told mo that every house in Rich
mond was either prison or q hose
pitsl. Though this may have been
exaseration, it was no doubt a fact
that all the dwellings, OF Richmond
had their spare rooms occupied by
confederate sick and wounded.
In this city the infantry guards
serc relieved, anl n civalry escort
furnished, who showed their conf
dence in our desire to reach our
lines by letting us strdygle AS We had
a m ind to.
During tho day we marched with
out food,,n fin ,Ily late in the after.
noon, feeble cheer went up from
the advance. which told that the
flag on our transports VAS in sight
Need say how wildly our hearts
beat at the 81 5ht of that dear old
flag which wo had followed in lat
tie, and which had hoated among
the peaceful scenes of homo. The
feeling was too decp TO be- expressed
in words or cheers. Tears of Joy
rolled down the cheeks of many a
stout man, whose eyes were unused
to weep the voice that attempted
expression was lost in choking sobs
Men sat quietly down, tears
coursing their dirt-furrowed cheeks
contented to look up and see tho
old flag" floating over thom.
/ sat in this mauuer, having, with
out knowing it, Quot, joyful cry,
when comrade camo along. iuqrir.

old fellow ~
looked up, and saw he hadn't
much to brag of, and replied, that
was crying because folks were such
fools as to live under a flag with
thr'e stripes, when they might have
one with thirteen over them. We
hoisted anchor, left those scenes,
and came, at last, sick, manned. en-
aclated. comp any, to Annapolis.
There kind hands cared for us. kind
welcomes cheered us, aud we knew
we were at home at last-at home
with the arms OF great nation
around us with the great love Of
noble, loyal hearts. When left
Belle island, l had no hair or bat to
put on my head, and my clothing
consisted of pair of partaloons
and shirt, and these we're all tater ,
cd aud torn. The rest OF the boys
we're no better off, and some far
worse-they could not cover their
smoked black as negroes from the
nakedness- aud we were all
pitch-pine smoke-I am confident
our fathers aud mothers could not
have recogn lied US as their SONG
after our arrival at Annapolis-we
got plenty to eat, and the conse-
quences were bad, qnits number OF
the boys died, and others took
chronic diarrhoea, and had quite a
time to recover-But this was one
Of the grandest times in our lives

Grave Of the Author OF "HOme, Sweet
Home"
From tie Hdpendent,


Near Carthage, in a lonely spot rare
ly visited, sleeps a wandering minstrel
of our own times, whose one immortal
song las been heard everywhere the
English language is spoken. Like the
rowing singers of lovely Provence, many
times he had nothing but his harp.
John Howard Payne was gay Bohe-
milan, extravaganza in taste, lavish in
expenditure; living much, too much,
"mid pleasures and palaces" yet with
q vein of sadness down deep in his
heart. He died while holding the office
of Consul, and plain marble slab, sent
out by the Government of the United
States, marks the grave of the home
less man, sixty years wanderer on
this earth, the author of "Home, Sweet
Home"
One winter he was without money or
credit, and in London had not where
to lay his head. He tried to quiet the
pain of hunger and homelessness by
looking in at windows and from the
areas seeming good cheer. 1t was
Christmas Eve, the snow fell fast, the
wind was sharp and keen. At one lux
urious house the hungry man stopped
and watched the lighting of the Christ
mas tree. Its candles streamed lightly
on the pavement, and among the ever
green's he could see the red berries Of
holly, the toys and garlands, and the
pretty heads of children. They danced
and clapped their hands while the
presents were distributed, and the air
rang with shouts, laughter, and screams
of delight. When the merriment had
spent itself a little, one young girl went
to the piano and struck up Home
Sweet Home" while the family joined
i'll rousing chorus. Was ever con-
trast bitter?
have this from Mrs. Consul-General
Heap. Payne told it to her long after
those evil days were passed.

A popular young man in Augusta,
who until recently has resided beneath
his fathers roof-tree, married few
weeks since and leased apartments in
another part of the city. The other
eveningafter completing his days work,
he left the Office, went up street and
purchased his Boston papers, and then
climbed the hill to his fathers house.
Entering its familiar precints he march
ed to the wash-room, made his toilet,
and then presented himself at the table.
The family, who had been watching his
operations, eyed him with amazement,
and at last his mother softly inquired:
my son, have you procured a divorce
thus early in your welded career?" A
pale, crimson flush suffused the young
mans face, which rapidly deepened
into cardinal. Then he gasped: II
forgot all about being married." Leav-
ing the table amid a roar of laughter
the young man hurried out and walked
hastily home where his young wife was
impatiently waiting his coming.
