Can You Tell?
Who Wrote "Home, Sweet Home;
By r. J. and A. W. Bodmer

Who Wrote "IIome. Sweet Home?
The author Of this song. the worlds
most famous ballad. John Howard
Payne, received but $50 for the COM
plcte words and music Of an operctta
entitled "Clari, or the Maid Of Milan,'
in which "IIome, Sweet Home ap-
peared rs one Of the songs in the Sec
ond act. The purchaser of the opor-
eta made $4,000 through the sale Of
the first 100000 copies and many other
publishers have made large sums
from it.
Payne's mother died when he was a
child and from that time on he never
had home. although this loss was not
necessarily the inspiration Of his song.
As n child he showed remarkable prom
ise as an clocutionist, but his father
apprentccd him to New York mpr-
chant in the hope Of discouraging his
ambition to become an actor. Atn!cht,
however. the lad associated with actors
in the New York tavcrns. At the age
Of twelve he published dramatic napcr
called the Thcspian Mirror. This in
terested a wealthy man. who sent him
to Union College but this support was
withdrawn when his lack of interest in
college work was shown and he became
an actor.
After some success he went 70 Eng
land. whore he added playwriting to his
other efforts. He made contract with
Charles Kcmblc. of Covont Garden The
ntre, for an operetta, in which "IIOmc,
Sweet Home was inserted in the sec :
ond act
The author was not Influenced by tho
sentiment Of the song to come home 10
America, but continued to lead as CAV
| life in London and Paris as his earn :
ings permitted. He later returned to
| America with no money and, through
friends, secured the appointment as
Consul to Tunis, Africa, where he died
in 1852.
