A REMINrscENcE OF EDGAR ALLEN
PoE.-In the new volume Of Poe's
poems, edited by X. II. Stoddard. the
editor, in the preface. thus gives the
last scene in the life of Poe:
He started from Richmond October
., ls49, and arrived at Baltimore be.
tween trains, and unfortunately took q
drink with friend, the consequence of
which was that he was brought back
from Havre de Grace in n state of deli
rum. 1t was on the eve of n munich
pal election, and as he wandered up and
down the streets of Baltimore he was
secured by the lawlcss agents of poll
ticial club and locked up in a cellar all
night. The next morning he was taken
out in state of frenzy, druSged, and
made to vote in eleven different wards.
Tie following day he was found in q
back room at the POLITICAL headquar-
ters and removed to hospital. He
was inscnsible when found, and re-
mained so on October 2. The doctor
and nurse were with him when he first
showed CONSCIOUSNESS. Where am 2"
he asked. They answered, You arc
cared for by your Test frierds After
a pause. in which he seemed to recall
what had occurred, and to realize his
situation. Poe replied, MY best friend
would be the man who would blow out
NV brains" Within ten minutes ho
was dead.

FoRGorroN.-Ge Generation after gen.
Grafton have felt as we feel, and their
fellows were as active in life as ours
are now. They passed as vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect Of beauty
as when her Creator commanded her to
be. And so, likewise shall it be when
we are gone. The heavens will be Al
bright over our graves as they are now
around our path; the world will havc
the same funeral winding on its way.
and the attractions for offspring that
she once had for ourselves, and that she
has now for our children. A little while,
and all this will have happened. The
throbbing heart will be stil!ed, and we
shall be at rest Our prayers will DO
said, and the grave-clods will be threwn
in, and our friends will all return, and
we shall be left behind to darkness and
10 the worms. And it may be for some
short time we shall be spoken Of, but
the things Of life will creep in, and our
names will soon be forgotten. Days
will continue to move on, and laughter
will lie heard in the very chamber in
which we died; and the eyes will glisten
again with JOY; and even our children
will cease TO think of us, and will not
remember to lisp our name.
