The most remark- able was that of John Howard Payno, author of ‘Sweet Home.” { knew him personally He cecupied the rooms under me for some time, and his conversation was so captivating that I often spent whole days in his apart- ments. He was an applicant for office at the time—coneul at Tunis—from which he had been removed. What a sad thing it ws to see the poet subjected to all the humiliatin of cffice-seeking! Of an evening we would walk along the street. Once in a while we would see some family circle so happy, and forming co beautiful a group, that we would stop, and then pass silently on. On such occasions he would give a history of bis wandering, his trials, and all his cares incident to his sensitive nature and povert ‘* How often,”’ said be once, ‘‘ have I been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, and London, or some other city, and heard persons singing. or the hand-organ playing ‘“‘ Sweet Homo,”’ witk- out a shilling to buy the next meal, or a place to lay my head. The world literally sung my song, until every heart is familiar with its melody. YetI have been a wanderer from my boyhood. My country has turned me ruthless from office; and in old age I have to submit to humiliation for bread.’’ Thus he would complain of his haplezs lot. His only wish was to die in a foreign land, to be buried by strangers, and sleep in obscurity. I met him one day looking unusually sad. ‘* Have you got your consulate ?’’ said “Yes, and leave in a week for Tunis; I shall never return.’ The last expression was not a political faith Farfromit Poor Payne! bis wish was real- ized ; he died at Tunis. Whether his re- mains have been brought to this country, I know not They should be; and if none others would do it, let the homeless through- out the world give a penny for a monument to Payne I knew him, and will give my penny for an inscription like the following : HERE LIES J. HOWARD PAYNE, The Author of ‘ Sweet Home.’ A wanderer in life; he whose songs were sung in every tongue and found an echo in every heart, NEVER HAD A HOME. HE DIED Ina Foreign Land. a ae Idlewild, the Residence of N. P. Willis. Mr. Vaux, in his book on “ Villages and Cottages,” gives a description of Idlewild, from which we extract the following : “The position selected, while it commands a full view of Newburg bay, is on the edge of wood, and on the verge ofa plateau that almost overhangs a deep ray The rocky sides of this gorge are clothed with sturdy pines and hemlocks, and thus often shut out from the eye, but never from the ear, a tur bulent mountain stream that roars through the long, narrow pags, and falls some two hun dred fect in a scries of rapid, successive leaps, within a short distance of the house. There is also a quieter brook that winds its wey through the property, and yet another smaller rivulet, both of which, after fraternizing with their more noisy and energetic companion, flow into Moodna Creek, which, almost at th: same point, empties itself into the Hudson The site for the house is therefore very pic- turesque, and is peculiar in many respects overlooking, as it does, the Hudson and three or four of its tributaries. These latter, with the ravine and inland szenery, lie far down on one side. Beautiful views of the bay and Highlands are gained from the south and ea:t fronts. and a thick pine wood encircles and protects the remainder. “When the building had been entirely erected on paper, and before the foundations were laid, all the lines of the plan were set out under the special direction of Mr Willis, who seemed to take more interest in acco modating the house to the fancies of the nius of the place thanin any other part of the arrangement And the whole de.ign was so fitted among the evergreens, and auvpted to every peculiarity of the site, that it appears to be almost surrounded by tall, flourishing trees; although broad stretches of distance in every direction, and extensive views of the river and mountain scenery, are gained from the various windows, each view being a sera- rate picture get in a frame of unfading fo! % The advantageous result arrived at by this careful study of the exact position fur such a house, although more negative than positiv. is incalculable. The new house was made to look not new, points of view were not sacri- ficed, and time was not lost in waiting for young trees to grow in place of old ones that would have had to be removed for the sake of a prospect, if less foresight had been exer- cised at starting. In such cases it is the foot or two one way or the other that makes or mars, and when once the contractor is fairly at work, alteration is next to impossible house looked like an old fa- most before the roof was on, and it can ily be understood that, under such circumstances, every subsequent stroke in the way of improvement will yield its fall est value. «From the upper approach road on the level of the plateau and principal entrance the house appears to be, what in actual factit is, a plain, roomy cottage residence, comfort- ably sheltered among the trees; but from the lower road along the river bank, at the mouth of the gorge, its situation gives it a less ordi- nary effect. High up among the trees, and apparently on the very edge of a precipitous ascent, it seems to peer over the topmost branches of the dark pines, and to command the whole valley below. The position is ex actly such a one as a medieval kvight would have selected for his stronghold, and a little imagination may e2sily transmute the simple domestic cottage into the turreted and battle- mented castle See nmescibetaiuiininenians Eg The fastest time on record is said to have been made by the mare Jasy.

As Miss H. was walking began 0 treet one of the pleasantest days last ine ee. her suprise in passing a large and masculine 1 oking woman, dressed in the height of fash- ion, with hoops and crinoline, and having upon her head the very identical velvet bat which she had lost. What was to be dope? What could be done? Every step was taking the bonnet farther from its owner, who was alone and a stranger in the city. it did not take her long to decid: She started in the direction, and was soon alongside of the velvet hat ““ Where do you reside, mada: “In —— Court,” was the ¥” “ Are you going home?” ae am.’’ “Go on, and don t let me hinder you.” And onward they walked, mow to the right and now to the left. At length they entered a dark alley, and after passing several dismal abodes they halted at a door. **Do you live here ?”’ “‘T do—upon the second floor.’’ “Goupthen for have business with you.’ They entered. After going up two flights of stairs they reached a room in which they found five women.

But Zreat as it was, it did not intimidate the owner of the velvet hat in the least degree. It on changed the happy and fascinating look of a most beautiful face to the unconquered look of a Cromwell. “Now be quiet and own up, and bring for- ward the stolen goods, for it wil’ be better “r you.

At length the doctor, with four policemen, arrived, when our hervine trausferred the custody of both persons and property to the officers of the law.

Dueling in Albany—An Exciting Tragedy. The Albany Times gives the following ac- count of a tragic effair which came off in that ae on Friday. Of course there was a “woman in it”’ It appears that J.T. was smitten with a young lady, and feeling that J. J.—a man wuch ‘‘on bis good looks’’—was treadirg on his corns, and surreptitiously endeavoring to cut him out, bitterness ensued, and ar- rangements for a duel was the result. Wea- pons. pistols; place, Buttermilk Falls: dis- tance, ten paces. An unheard of arrangement was made, to the effect that if‘‘J T.”’ on the first fire did not succeed in hitting “J. J,” he was to retire, and T J. , his second, assu- ming his place, was to pop away at J J, and thus the latter was to be alternate! popped at. Powder, however, smelt to bim like eau de cologne, and he was eager for the fray. = 10 a. m. the parties were on the ground —T. J and T. L on the one side, J. J., with J.J., Jr, his second, on the other, and Sur- geon E W. The preliminaries were ily arranged, and the priccipals took their i tion to “door die’? The seconds received the ‘last dying words and deslarations,”’ and retired, leaving the two fiercely face to face, and awaiting the fatal word. “One !’’ “two!” “three!” were given, at the word “three” the pistols being discharged simultaneously By- standers at once saw that neither of the twain were hurt, but seversl minutes were consumed ere the principals were satisfied to this effect, each involuntarily applying his hands to dif- ferent portions of his person, in search of the wound. Being satisfied on this point, they resolutely repclied all attempts by the seo- onds to reconcile matters, and insisted on an. other shet. Accordingly, and in keeping with the strange conditions, T. L._ took the position of J. T. as principal, and J. J. again faced the music, to a fresh charge, with “‘nary a quail.” The spectators awaited the result with anx- iety. Both gentlemen, it wes known, had bit barn doors at a further distance, and hence the danger. The word was given, the report was heard, and J J_ staggered, reeled and fell into the arms of his second, who “io a second,” was beside him. Surgeon E. W. at once attended to the wound, and, on pre f off his coat, blood in spots revealed itself. “TT. L.”’ the “shooter,’’ hastened to bis side, bat “J T,” the Bing sdemen ll seeing the blood, and realizing what had been done, straightway took to his heels, and fied with rapidity toward the city Soon after, the rest of the party followed with “J. J.” His wound is not serious owing mainly tothe fact that no balls were in the pistols, and as for the blood which created so much consterna- tion, it had been procured at a butcher's sev- eral hours before!
