HOME, SWEET HOME, FIRST SUNG

OVER THE GRAVE OF AN INDIAN WHO
DIED To JOIN WIFE AND CHILD.
When the boundary line between Ten
nessec and Georgia was established, it
passed half a mile south Of the spring
Tuck-a-lee-chee-chee, among the foothills
of the Unakas, and as it crossed ono Of the
principal Indian trails, it bccam" place
of much importance. Thee had already
grown up much rivalry between the Ten
nessee tribes, headed by Chief Ross, and
the Georgia tribes, headed by Major Ridge,
both half-hreeds, and men of extraordinary
ability as leaders. The establishment of a
new boundary line fixed the limits of their
monte as far as possible the contending
factions, the government established Il
trading post there. John Howard Payne
appeared upon the scene, and Was accused
Of melting the Indians to insuboydinaton.
He was placed under arrest rs az jncpndiary
and carried to the council house
While Payne was held there, one of the
first bands arrived, and among the Indians
was the chief Oo-chrc, or Rattling Gourd,
broken-hearted man. He was moody
and ahstIacted and refused all invitations
to the council house, aud would partake
OF no festive enioyments whatever, but
spent the most of the time at the grave of
his wife and chi d, farther up the valley
One morning he was missed Weltering
in his own blood, his body was found he
tween the little mounds that covered his
squaw and papoosr. Ia some way he had
secreted hayonet, fell upon the point OF
it and died on the spot where he had often
expressed desire to In laid for his last
long sleep.
A grave vas dug on the spot where he
lay, and the chtrI was buried By the sol
dlers, one Of rhr MoIalian missionaries
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1897-07-31


John Howard Payne, who had been silent
witness to the pathetic scene, began sing
ing softly to himself the song which has
since been echoed through every land on
the earth, Gen. Bishop, who had kept a
close scruting on his actions heard the
song and called Payne to him.
"Young man." said the stern old Indian
fighter, "where did you learn that song?"
81 wrote that song myself" replied
Payne.
"And where did you get the tuner"
81 composed that Also"
"Would you let me have copy of it?'
Certainly will"
"Well, a man who can sing and write
like that is no incendiary. Appearances
may be against you, but am going to set
you free I shall write out your discharge
Immediately, and pass you anywhere you
choose through the nation.'
Payne had been housed at the home of
family living nearby, and on his return
there he exhibited his pass and related the
circumstances. That was the first time
that 'lfome, Sweet Home,' had ever been
sung in public. Atlanta Constitution
lie frequently felt the pangs of hunger
and many times no roof sheltered him.
One night in London, moneyless and weary,
he was wandering along the street, and
passed mansion flooded with light. and
he stopped to look at the happy group
listening to lady performing and singing
new song. That song was Home, Sweet
Home" They never thought that the
author of that beautiful melody was among
the listeners, cold, hungry, weary and
homeless.
Near the close of our civil war the Union
and Confederate armies occupied positions
on the banks of the Tennessee river. The
river separated the forces. One moonlight
night Union soldier sang the first verse
OF Home, Sweet Home" and was Joined
in the refrain by his comrades When the
ates joined in the song, and their mingled
voices rolled up heavenward; all hostile
feeling was then banished, for they thought
of their ''Homc, Sweet Home"
When Jenny Lind, the Swedish night
ingalr, WIS singing nt Castle Garden, in
New York City. she sang, one evening, for
an enrOra .ILInn,, C,.nc+ IIn,,, ;, ODD ,s.,,,
she had finished, the audience sat as if spell
bound tor moment, and then sobs and
I applause and the waving Of hlndk erchiefs
| induced her to repeat it. Every evening
thereafter, during her engagement, she
sang that grand hcart-liftin4 melody.
This is the original wor .ing of the song:
Mid pleasures and palaces though we may
| roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like
home.
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us
there
Which seek through the world, is ns'or met
with elsewhere.
Home, home, sweet nome,
There's no place like home.
| There's no place like home.
An exile from home, pleasure iazzles in vain,
All! Give me my lowly matched cottage again.
The birds singing sweetly that came to my
| call;
than all.

c., lies the remains of John Howard Payne,
the author of the words and music of the
beautiful song Home, Sweet Home"
The late William w. Cochran, banker and
phianthropst of Washington, D. c., had
the earthly remains of the poet removed
from Tunis, in Africa, in 1888, and re-
inferred in the above-named cemetery.
His tomb is near the entrance, and
is thickly covered with periwinkle, John
Toward Payne's favorite flower. Mr..
Cochran always modestly declined to affirm
or deny the currently believed opinion that
he had the remains removed from Africa to
America.
The groundbase is granite; the second
base Of pure white marble, on which rests
square marble monument about 10 feet
in height, surmounted by bust of Payne.
Around the tomb is an asphalt path feet
in width, with paths leading to the main
path.
The weather-beaten tablet which came
with the remains from Tunis is laying fiat,
near the new monument. 1t is about
feet long by feet wide. The top of this,
tablet has some carving and is slightly oval,
and the American Eagle is engraved upon
it, Then follows this inscription:
In memory
Col. John Howard Payne,
twice Consul of
The United States of America
for
The City and Kingdom of 1'nnis,
this stone is here placed
by grateful country.
He died at the American Consulate,
in this city, after tedious illness,
April LIST, 1892.
He was born at the City OF Boston,
State of Massachusetts,,
June s, 1892.
His fame as a dramatist is well known
wherever the English language
is spoken through his celebrated ballad
OF
"Home, Sweet Home
and his popular tragedy of 'Brutus," &c,
and other similar productions.
On the front of the new monument, the
following is engraved:
In memory of
John lio~agl pnr"o,
author
CLONE, Swot. Home,
Porn June 9, 1871,
Died April ., 1852.
Erected A. ID. 1883.
On the east and west sides are wreaths Of
laurel and holly, and on the north side is
the following touching verse:
Sure when thy gentle spirit fed,
To realms above the azure dome.
With arms outstretched Gods angels said
Welcome to heavens "Homc Sweet Home"
The difference in the dates engraved on
the old tombstone and the new monument
will be observed, hut the latter dates are
undoubtedly correct, as Mr.. Cochran re-
ceiyed positive information as to the dates
of birth and death of the poet.

A delightful meeting was held,
April 9Th, In the elegant reception
parlors of Mrs. Meek.
The attendance was good and all
entered with zest into the Discus
sion Of the subject, The Brownings.
To Mrs. meek was assigned the lives
OF the two poets, each OF whom had
recognized in the other fine Lature
and answering genius. The CONVEX
sation which followed, in regard to
their sojourn in Italy, WAS rendered
doubly interesting from the fact
that certain members of the club
had visited that country and were
familiar with the scenes described.
Miss Pegues read some passages
from Rabi Ben Ezra, considered by
many the noblest religions poem in
our language. Many opioious OF
Robert Browning were given, all
agreeing that he deserves to stand
Sin the rank of the worlds great
poets" Through all his works
there shines the noble spirituality,
the marvellous subtleiy, the strenu-
Gus earnestness of great natuf e,
Zone who never turned his back,
but marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break,
Never dreamed, tho right were
worsted, wrong could triumph.
All regretted the absence of Mrs.
Murray and that we were denied
the pleasure CT hearing her paper
on Aurora Leigh.
In reviewing the Literary, Social
anc Scientific Revolutions of the
Age" Mrs. kimbrough spoke of the
wide influence Of journalism. which
is one OF the features of the present
time; Of the Reform Bill of is3a
granting the right of suffrage to the
middle classes, thus making Of Eng
land a democracy. the slow and
steady advance of which is the most
impressive thing in Europe to-day;
of the introduction OF railroads in
$50, of the first electric telegraph
erected in 1857, and steam commu-
nication with the United States es'
tablished about the same time.
Miss Irene Meek contributed
much to the afternoons's enjoyment
by her perfect rendition OF severa
fine selections from some of oul
popular musical composers.
