HOWARD PAYNE, Aa I ail in .my garret hero, (in' Washington,) watching Iho course of great men, and (be destiny of party, I meet often with strange contradictions in lhf« eventful life. The moat remarkable was (hot of J, Howard Payne, author of'Sweet Homo!' 1 knew him personally. Ho occupied the room under mo fur some time, and his conversation was so cop. tlvutlng, that 1 have often spent whole days in his apartment. Ho was an applicant fur office at the time—consol at Tunis—from which ho hod been re moved.. Wbot a sad thing it won to see (ho poet subjected to all the humiliation of office seeking Of an evening Wo would walk along the streets, looking into the lighted parlors as wo passed. Once node white wo -would see some family circle, so happy, and forming so beautiful a group, that we would-bolh atop, and (ben puss silently mi, On e u c t> occasions, ho would give me a history of bis wander* Ings. bia (rials, and tifi the cares incident to his sen ailive nature and poverty, ‘flow often.’ said ho once, j, have been in (ho heart of Pqris, Berlin, London, or some other city, and heard persons singing, or the hand organ' playing ‘Sweet Home,* without a shilling to buy-the rext meal, or a place to put my head.— Tim world has, literally, sung my song until every hour! is familiar will] its melody. Yet I h.-evo been a wandorejr-from my boyhood. My country has turned mo ruthlessly from my office; and in my old ngo I have to submit to humiliation for bread.’— Thus he*wou!d complain of his hapless lot, fits only wish was to die in a foreign land—to bo buried by strangers, nnd sleep in obscurity. . f met him one day looking unusually sad. ‘‘Have you got your consulate 7” said I. **Ves; and" leave in a week for Tunis. I shall never return.” Wo clip the übayo from the Ohio Statesman. We do not know who is" the author ; but wo knew P.iyn« well, and at the time alluded to was a boarder in the same Jmu*o with him—the Irving Hotel, Washing ton. Ho Is correctly described. Wo well remem ber the melancholy air with which lie bade us fore, well, when ho loft for Tu*’is. This was the last we over saw of lha author of ‘Sweet Home.’ A Georgian, who was in our mesa, used to relate (ho following Incident, in the life of Puyuc : At one time bo became an enthusiast for the civtlixation of the Indiape,. Ho act out on a mission to the Ctccka and Cherokcca, in Georgia and Alabama. It was about (he lime of the difficulty between the govern ment and the Creeks In relation to their removal.— The excitement ran high, and the State authorities had police agents, with their men stationed along the lino. All communication between the whites and Indians Was cut off. At lifts unfortunate period, Payne was found among the Creeks, attempting to give them lessons on civiliz-ition and the cultivation oflheftiiß. Although Innocent of any improper,de signs,and moved and instigated by pure and philon- Ihropio motives, ho Was nevertheless arrested on suspicion.- Lem Jackson, a sort of halfhorsc, half alligator, was captain of the guord. Hawing no otli or mode of qonfiniog Iho poet prisoner, they built a log pen, ond covered It with heavy fogs, something like a wolf pen of iho early pioneers. Ho protested jitf Innocence, and begged to bo rdoaeed, that bo, might return to his'sweet homo,’ .But his appeal moved not the stony heart of Lem Jackson and his eomi civilised companions. They determined to hold him nnlil they found - evidence. Night eamo on.— The wotch fires blazed brightly* The guord amused themselves first by playing cards and then by sing ing. * At last Lem, who was the loader of the sports, struck up, “Homo, Sweet Homo.” Payne could boar it no longer. This was an affliction 100 great for his sensitive spirit. Ho looked out through the crovlcca of his rude prison. In agony of spirit, ho eried—“Oh, gentlemen, save my reelings. Impose 00 mo any bodily lorlora your Ingenuity can invent i but aavo! 0 «»vo ! my fooling.. I •” tha author of that eong. Don't mock mo by singing H n^i v * « You wrote that songJ" exclaimed Lem. “Now (jov«, n turning to (Tie companions, “wo vo got Him— we’ve keichcd him in a lie, and will now punish mm for both ■crimes!" A cour-murllal was called.— Payne’declared ho was the author of 'Sweet Homo, but his testimony was disregarded, and be was duly convicted, and sentenced to receive twenty lashes the next day. A* fortune would have it, a superior in command reached the camp before Iho verdict was executed, rescinded the order, and discharged Iho author, with the advice never to meddle with the Indians again, nnd never attempt logoi out ot a scrape by lylnaJjc-ihdiona Slate Sentinel, Ilcvotoni ot Crucllj-.

It is because it la tho porfoc' (ion of earthly bliss, that the world lias over, boon flooded with baso counterfeits,many so thickly coat ed with the pure metal, that nothing but time cm detect the base interior and ulterior.designs of bogus friends.

Thousands have had their properly, reputation, and lives sacri need, Under tho hissing sound of a Judas kiss. Caution has boon termed tho parent of safely, but has often been baffled by a Judas kiss. Tho moat cautious have been tho dupes and victims of the bas est deceivers. Wo should be extremely careful who wo confide in, and then wo wiiJ often find ourselves mistaken.

Friendship, bas ed entirely on seif, ends In desertion, (ho ‘moment tho selfish ends are accomplished or frustrated. In forming friendships, lot tho following cautions bo observed, as general land marks. Beware of tho flatterer, who takes special core to refer you to your beauty, talents, wealth, influence, power or piety. _ Bsworc of those whose longues arc qb smooth as oil, they are often as drawn swords. Beware of those whose bewitching smiles are enchantment; like the wily serpent charming the bird, they may contem plate.your ruin. Beware of those who are fond of communicating secrets ; (hey expect to obtain yours by reciprocity, and will employ some others to help keep them. Bowarc of fretful disputatious persons; <(,„ uroud and the vi cious. Beware of the fickle and unstable who aro ever perched on the pivot of uncertainty. Beware of tho man who invites you to participate in what arc styled ''innocent amusements,” which often load to the broad road of ruin.. Beware of the man who despises the old fashioned customs of frugality and economy—they ore the basis of earthly prosperity. Beware of tho man who suddenly commences shak ing hands with those he had before considered be low him. Ho has on office in his eye and wants your vole, but is unworthy of it. In tho choice and in tho preservation of friends, ever remember that caution is requisite at oil times, and under all cir cumstances, *9r Finally, beware of nil those who do not respect the Bible and the Christian religion, the firmest basis on which (be superstructure of friendship can bo erected.— Judeon. ' Tito Dream of (lopplness* Often hud 1 hoard of happiness, but was ignorant of it myself. My heart inquired if it was alt a phan tom—o thing of fiction merely, and not of fact ? I determined to travel through the earth and see if it was in the possession of any mortal. I beheld a King on his stalely throne. Subjects obeyed his laws. A multitude of servants Came out and went at bis bidding. Palaces of the most costly materials wore at bis service, and bis tables groaned with the richness uf their burdens. Ho seemed fur nished with ail he could desire, but Ins countenance betrayed that bo wes unhappy. I saw a man of wealth. Ho resided in an elegant monsion, and was surrounded by every luxury ; but bo lived in constant fear of losing his possessions. Ho was constantly imagining that all bis property would bo consumed or taken from him. Thus pic turing to his own mind the miserable condition of himself and family, bo was nut satisfied with his present wealth. The more ho had, lha more ho de sired. Surely, hero was not happiness. 1 looked upon a lovely valley surrounded by bills. Ir. iho midst of it stood a neat lUllo village. Gurg ling streams came murmuring down the hillside.— The lambs frolicked merrily about. Collie grazed in the verdant pastures, and now and then •went to quench their thirst at the nearest spring, or the purling brook. Everything seemed pleasant- I visited the inhabitants of this beautiful spot, and saw that they were not happy. They lived not pcacibly among themselves, and murmured because great wealth was not their portion, or that they were not born to high station. I beheld a fair young creature, blessed with health and beauty. She was.the life of the bail room, •««* received llio’most constant attentions. Bull per ceive that she was not truly happy. Those things could not satisfy the longings of her heart. 1 saw a true and heartfelt Christian. Ho was constantly exercising love In his fellow men, and doing oil in his power to extend the knowledge of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Ho trusted not in the vanities of tills life for happiness. Ho sought not this world’s riches, but laid up for hlmnoll a treasure in Heaven. His soul was ot rest, and at peace with God, and with mankind. Although b« experienced many trials, both in public and private, still ho was cheerful «nd content with his lot. Ho only of all these wua possessed of true happiness.— Reporter. The Charms of Mfe.

Once upon a lime, there canoe lulhi city a young Kentuckian, for tho purpose of learning tho science of mcdjcme and surgery. Ho was fall and athletic, shrewd, apt ami mtolligenl, with a 'little sprinkling’ ol wagglsbooßs, Ho was inductcdinlo tho Charily i “ 08 Ptlal, and a room In ibo third sjory given him ns the study; On entering into /its new quartets, ho was introduced lo a young French gentleman, occu pying tho room, also'a student. Tboymmg French man, it ecoms, was very frank in his manners, courteous, yet cold, and bo thus addressed his com panion : ‘Sir, £am Indeed pleased lo st* you, and hope (hat wo may prove malually agresabH ;• but, in order | that Hub may bo Ibo ease, 1 will Infer* you that 11 have had several former room males, wijb none of . whom 1 could over agree—wo could nevorpursuo our' studios together. This room contains two hods; os. the oldest occupant, 1 claim tho one ncaitst the) window.' Tno Kentuckian assented. ‘Now,’said the Frenchman, *l’ll draw a bound ary line between our territories, and wo shall each sgreo not to encroach unpn the other’s rights ;* and taking a piece of chalk his pocket, ho made the mark of division, midway,Trbm one side of tho room to tho other. ‘Sir,’ ho added, •£ hope you have no objection to (ho treaty V ‘None in the world, sir,’ answering (ho stranger; ‘I am perfectly satisfied with it.’ Ho then sent down /or his baggage, and both students sat down with their books. The Frenchman was soon deeply engaged, while ‘Old Koniuck* was watching him, and thinking what a qucor'gonlns he must bo, and how he might •fix him.’ Thus things went on until dinner time came. Tho bell was rung, the Frenchman popped up, adjusted his cravat, brushed his whiskers and moustaches, and essayed to depart. ‘Stand, sir !* said the stranger, suddenly placing himself, with a too lo Uio mark, directly in front of| tho French student; ‘if you cross that lino you are a dead man.’ Tho Fronahmen stood pale with astonishment. — Tho Kentuckian moved not a muscle of his face.— Both remained in silence for aomo moments, when ‘la it possible itiai*¥"(fwrnol reserve mu ng-i v. passage V ‘No. sir, you did not; and you pass this lino nl yo«» peril,’ ‘But how shall I got out of the loom ?’ ‘There is tho window, which you reserved to your self—you may use that; but not thut door; —my door which you generously Ml me.’ I Tho poor Frenchman was fairly caught, lie was 1 in a quandary, and made alt sorts of cxplantioos and entreaties. Tho Kentuckian took compassion on him and thinking that going out of o third story window was not ’what it was cracked up to bo,’ said to hts new friend— ‘Sic, in order that wo may be mutually agreeable, |’|| rub out llut hateful chalk lino and let you pae».' The Frenchman politely thanked him, ond since the settlement of that ’boundary question,’ they hove been the very boat friends. —Philadelphia Paper. American ClturoU Customs, An English traveller in tine country thus describee in (lie 'book* some of the ‘queer things’ ha met with in his wanderings : “ Now, to toll you of some of the queer things one sees and hears in this queer country. One of the most foreign looking sights to a stranger is (ho ap pearance which the churched ptcscnl dut ing service, especially if the day bo hot. Every lady has her fan, which she brings with her, or more generally keeps lying in her pew. What a funny sight! There they sit, young guls and young ladies, newly mar ried and old married ladies, blaoU Mies ond while ladies, fanning owoy as if their lives depended on (heir never ceasing. In front of (ho ministers, on this side and on that side, up in front of the galler ies, and bock in the galleries, there they go, fan, fan, fan. There arc fans of paper, fans of grass, fans of ivory, fans of feathers, fans of everything. There | they go, those who have ho fans using their prayer books or Bibles, fan, fan, fan. Arms moving ond; heads keeping limo, flutter, flutter, flutter—one fan, two fans, three funs—funs innumerable. Oh ! dear ! It surely is hot. Another peculiarity connected with their churches is that of the gentlemen always rising op ond leav mg a pew to let a lady enter. A lady, indeed, when she reaches her pew, newer thinks of going in til) oil the gentlemen first stop out. In she goes, and In go the obsequious gentlemen after her, only to repeal the performance in throe minutes, when another la* dy comes in. 1 have often soon five gentlemen have to *o» up and go out. *1 was myaolfa Victim to (Ms practice.

Five'hundred daily papers are published In the United States. 1 • Employment of the Sexes In Tartary* Tho cares of the family and of the housekeeping among tho Tartars rest entirely on the woman.— U ia ana who roust manage the cows and prepare (he milkt go often to a great distance to fotoh wa ter, collect orgols, dry them, and pile them up round tho tent; tan the furs and sheep skins, and make the clothes; and inthesovarious occupations she has only (ho assistance of the young children. The employments of the men are very limited ; they consist merely in driving the flocks to good pastures, more of amusement than work to men on horseback, and occasioning no fatigue unless when they have to pursue stray animals, when they fly rather than gallop, over the tops of the mountains and down into the deepest ravines, till they have overtaken tho fugitive. When not on horseback the Tartar is generally quite idle, and passes a greater part of his time crouched in his lent, drink ing tea, and sometimes ho lounges about like a Parisian dandy, though nol quite in me same » OJ , When he has a mind to see what is passing in tho world, ho mounts his horso and goes galloping away into the desert, without heeding in what di rection, and wherever he sees (he smoko of a tent rising, he makes a call, and has a gossip. j During a repast which our travellers wore hos-l pliably pressed lo partake, a whole sheep, cooked rudely, was brought fn and carved Into four ouar* { lore. The head of the family cot off the tail of the sheep, offered one to each of (he guests. Mr. Hue says: Amongst the Tartars the tail is regarded as tho most exquisite piece, and is, of course offered to the most honored guests* These tails of tho Tar tar sheep are of immense size, weighing with the fat around them, from six to eight pounds. Great was our embarrassment at the distinction shown us, ip tho presentation of this mass of white fat, which seemed to tremble and palpitate under our fingers. Tho rest of our guests wore despatching,, with marvellous celerity, their portions of the mut- ton—of course without plato or fork, botoach with a largo piece of fat meal on his knees, working away at it with his knife and wiping on tho from of his waistcoat the fat that dripped down hia ftng* guage as to what we should do with the dreadful dainty before us. It would have boon quite con. trory lo Tartar etiquette lo speak frankly to our host, and explain our repugnance lo It, and it seemed imprudent lo attempt to pul it back by stealth. Wo determined, therefore, to cut tho un lucky tall into small slices, and offer them round to the company begging them lo share with this rare delicious morsel. Wo did so, but it was not (.without difficulty we overcame tho polite scruples and self-denying refusals with which our hypocri tical courtesy was mel. Don’t toe in a Harry, It’s no sort of use? Wo never know a fellow who was o/ways in a hurry, that was’nl always behind hand. They ore proverbial all over (ho woild for bringing nothing at all to pass. Hurry, skurry, blus (or, splatter—what docs it all amount to 7 Not a straw. If you want to accomplish anything as it should bo done, you must go about it coolly, moder ately, firmly, faithfully, heartily. Hurrying, fretting, fuming, spluttering, will do no good—not in the least. Are great works of great men made in n hurry 7 Not a( all. They arc tho produce of time, patience the result of alow, solid development. Nothing can bo—nothing ought to bo. It is contrary to nature, reason, rcvfcalion, right, justice, common sense- Your man of hurry is no sort of character at oil.— Always in confusion, loose at every point, unhinged and unjointed, blowing, and puffing here and there, racing, ranting, staving—but all ending in smoko. Whai Hope Did, It stole on its pinions of snow to the head of dis ease; ond the sufferer's frown became a smile—(he emblem of peace and endurance.
