MIR. POE'S LAST POEM.

MIX. ROE'S LAST FOEMs
EDGAR ALLEN Poe, who died in Baltimore, on
the 7th ult was one of the most remarkable OF
the literary men of the United States. We give
below the last poem Of this lamented genius
lie was the greatest master of the mere art of
composition, which this country, or perhaps amy
other, has produced. We need not point out the
exceeding beauty of this plaintive melody, this
quver of the Tyre as the death angel swept it, this
parting beam as the sun of his genius set in a
night which for us will have no dawning.
ANNABEL LEE.
1t was many and many year ago,
In kingdom by the sea
That maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
/ was child and she was child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with love that was mora than love-
l and my Annabel Lee
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of cloud, chilling
NV beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half SO happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes-that was the reason Gas all men know,
In this kingdom by the seal
That the wind came out of a cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
OF those who were older than we
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams, without bringing me
dreams
or the beautiful Annabe Lee;
And the stars never rise, but feel the bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And SO, all the nght-tid., lie down hy the side
OF my darIing--my darling--my life and my bride,
In her sepuIchre there by the sea-
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
---~--~-~~~>~~~-~~~-~-~~-~-~
The following are the beautiful words of a new
Song, by Judge MEEK, of Alabama, which we
commend to the attention of western composers:
The golden bowl is broken,
That held loves rosy wine;
The last fond words spoken,
That hailed thee once as mine:
We're fated now to sever,
Yet, on the land or sea,
By day night, forever,
NV heart will kneel to thee!
Though the golden bowl be broken,
My heart will kneel to thee.
The silver chord is silent,
That thrilled beneath thy hand;
As in some desert island,
Amid my hopes stand
But yet where'er l wander,
Thy beauty shall see,
And as the past ponder,
My heart will kneel to thee
Though the silver cord is silent,
My heart will kneel to thee!
Oh! each imperfect token
Is vain my love to tell;
Though the golden bowl be broken,
And the silver cord as we'll;
Fond memory will cherish
The dreams dear to me,
And, till each pulse shall perish,
My heart shall kneel to thee!
Though the golden bowl be broken,
My heart will kneel to thee!

The TRANCED CHILD AT BANGOR
Readers probably remember the story of
the little girl at Bangor, who apparently
died of cholera, but revived, and said that
she had been to heaven, where she saw
her mother, and where she was to go
again on the following Sunday. The
Bangor Wing of the 18th gives the Sc
quel, as follows:
On Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Daniel War
rem, very worthy religious man who
has been much among the cholera patients
feeling, perhaps, moved by curiosity, call
ed to see the little girl, and addressing
her cheerfully, told her that she appeared
better and would soon be we'll, and get
out in day or two.
"But I'm going back to mother again
at four O'clock she quietly and softly
said.
"When tomorrow:
mo to-day"
Mr.. Warren endeavored to turn her
attention to hopeful prospect of recovery
but the little sufferer was fast sinking
away-the death-rattle was heard. and
she soon ceased to breathe, her pulse
stopped, and the fxedness Of death was
impressed upon her beautiful countenance.
She was dead. Mr.. Warren looked at
the town clock in the distance from the
window, for there was no clock in the
house, and it was four clock.
While pondering upon, to him, the
singular condolences in this case, and
about half an hour had passed, new
signs of life appeared, and again the spirit
of the sweet girl returned. She asked
for water, and said she was tired and
sunk away into quiet sleep.
Since then she has been gradually re-
covering, but the elder sister, who watch
ed her so tenderly, and who would will
Hngly have accompanied her to live with
her mother in heaven, was the next day
taken with the cholera, and the following
day, died and was buried.
