Home Sweet Home"

We have seen in several papers the
following interesting account of where
Home, Sweet Home" was sung:
The first time that the tender lyric,
Home, Sweet Home" was sung in
public was when an Indian, brooding
over the death of his beloved squaw
and papoose, committed suicide on the
spot where they we're buried.
It was time when the boundary
lines between Georgia and Tennessee
were in dispute and the half-breeds
were constantly making trouble. In
order to harmonic contending factions.
our government established trading
post there. John Howard Payne ap-
peared on the scene, and on suspicion
of melting the Indians to insubordina-
ton, was arrested and carried to the
council house.
With others he witnessed the burial
of the heart broken Indian, and began
softly singing to himself the song
which has since echoed through every
land On earth. The sequel is told by
The Atlanta Constitution in these
words:
General Bishop, who had kept close
scrutiny on his actions, heard the song
and called Payne to him.
"Young man." said the stern old In
dian fighter, "where did you learn
that song?'
II wrote that song myself" replied
Payne.
"And where did you get the tuner"
II composed that Also"
"Would you let me have a copy OF
it?"
Certainly WILL"
"Well, man who can sing and
write like that is no lncendiary. APP
pearances may be against you, but / !
am going to set you free. I shall write
out your discharge Immediately, and
pass to carry you anywhere you choose
through the nation"
Payne had been housed at the home
of family living near by, and on his
return there he exhibited his pass and
related the circumstances. That was
the first time that "Home, Sweet
Home" had ever been sung In public.

A Timely Rebuke.
Selected.

Selected.
A lady, riding on a car on the New
.YDrk Central Railway, was disturbed
ID her reading by the conversation oil
two gentlemen, occupying the seat just
before her. One of them seemed to be
student OF some college, on bis way
home for vacation. He used much
profane language, greatly to the lady's
annoyance.
She thought she would rebuke him,
ana On begging pardon tor interrupt
ing asked the young student If he had
studied the languages.
Eyes, madam, have mastered the
languages quite WE'LL"
do you read and speaA Hebrew?"
"Quite fuently."
"NiIl you be so kind as to do me a
small favor?"
"With great pleasure. am at your
service"
evil you be so kind as to do YOUR
swearing in Hebrew"
The lady was not annoyed any more
by the ungentlemanly language of this
would-be gentleman.

SING A SONG.

If you'll sing a song as you 60 along,
In the face of the real or the fancied
wrong;
In spite of the doubt if you'll fight ii
out,
And show heart that is brave and
If you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse
the tears, 7
You'll force the ever-reluctant cheers
That the world denies when the cow
ard cries,
To give to the man who brayely tries
And you'll win success with a little
If you'll sing song as you 60 along F!
If you'll sing a song as you plod along,
You'll find that the busy, rushing
throng
Will catch the strain of the glad re-
frain;
That the sun will follow the binding
rain;
That the clouds will fly from the black
ened sky;
And the stars will come out by and by
And you'll make new friends, till hope
descends
From where the placid rainbow bends
And all because of little song
1t you'll sing song as you plod along
If you'll sing a song as you trudge
along,
You'll see that the singing will make
you strong;
And the heavy load and the rugged
road,
And the sting and the stripe of the
to-tuous gOad
Will soar with the note you set afoat
That the beam will change to trif1ing
mote:
That the world is bad when you are
sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad,
That all you need is little song
If you'll sing the song as you trudge
along!
