The Grave of the Author of "Home

The Independent says: ''Near Garth
age in a lonely spot rarely visited, sleeps
wandering minstrel of our own times,
whose one immortal song has been heard
everywhere the English language is
spoken. Like the rowing singers of
lovely Providence, many times he had
nothing but his harp. John Howard
Payne was gay Bohemian, extrava-
CANT in taste, lavish in expenditure liv-
ing much, too much, mid the pleasures
and palaces, yet with vein of sadness
down deep in his heart. He died while
holding the Office of consul, and plain
marble slab, sent out by the Govern
ment Of the United States, marks the
grave of the homeless man, sixty years
a 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 win
dows and from the areas scenting good
cheer. 1t was Christmas Eve; the snow
fell fast, and the wind was sharp and
keen. At one luxurious house the man
stopped and watched the lighting of the
Christmas tree. Its candles streamed
brightly on the pavement, and among
the evergreens he could see the red ber-
ries of holly, the toys and garlands and
the pretty heads of children. They
danced and clapped their hands while
the presents where distributed, and the
air rang with shouts, laughter and
screams of delight. When the merri-
ment had spent itself a little, one young
girl went to the piano and struck up
Sweet Home, while the family joined
in arousing chorus. Was ever contrast
so bitter ? / have this from Mrs. Con-
sui General Heap. Payne told it to her
