Final Revision Of Song.

Final Revision of Song.
The final revision of the song, the
words and music familiar to the whole
world to-day, was arranged by the au-
thor in Anacostia, suburb of Wash
ington, in 1841, while the poet was Wis
iting some friends In that village. Res
idents of that quiet retreat believe
that the old chestnut tree beside the
old Talburtt house is the identical spot
where the lines were written; but
they are mistaken. Sitting there with
his youIns friend, George Talburtt, the
final revision was made by Mr.. Payne.
In the year 1912, upon the recon-
mendation of Daniel Webster and 9TH
er friends, he was appointed by Presi-
dent Tyler as consul to Tunis, Africa.
In 1S45 he was recalled by President
Polk and was reappointed to the
same consulate by President Zachary
Taylor, in 1851 upon the urgent solicit
tation OF Daniel Webster. He did not
long survive this appointment. He
was then 62 years of age, and died
at his post April 8, 1852. In the Prot
estant cemetery at Tunis his remains
