''FOr over ten years had been a great suf-
ferer with pains in the small of the back
and regions of the Kidneys, which was
most eXcruciating and at times almost in

Harper,s MagazIne Coz October.

Poe would have been remarked
upon the street. He was of a slight
er form than Willis, less mindful of
his dress, pale, and with a singu-
larly dark and commanding eye.
In a room, without a hat, his high
white forehead and intellectual as
pect at once distinguished him. His
domestic life was. believed to be
very unhappy. 1t was known that
he was poor and lived by his pen,
and it was understood that he was
the victim Of strong drink. He
died sadly at Baltimore, and "Dr."
Griswold published Il memoir of
him which his friends and admirers
believe to be the source of the false
impression of the man, so that he
is described as ga diSsOlute fantastic
writer, who died at Baltimore in
consequence of fits OF intoxica-
ton"
Poe was as bitter in commenting
upon his contemporaries as Willis
was friendly. He defied censure,
and expressed a scorn of the public,
to which, with the instinct of ge-
MUS, he yet appealed. He went to
Boston to read poem. There was
a large audience and great eXpecta-
tons. Poe read some verses writ
ten when he was a boy. Boston
said that he was drunk. Poe re-
tOrted that the poem was good en-
ough for Frogpondians. The fact
apparently was that he intended to
write a poem for the occasion, but
was prevented by stress of Occupa-
ton. In the brief preface 10 the
slight volume of his verse, "The
Raven, and Other Poems," pub
lished in Wiley IL Putnam's Eli
brary of Choice Reading" in 1916,
Poe says, disdainfully, with me
poetry has been, not a purpose, but
a passion and the passions should
be held in reverence: they must
not-they can nOt-at will be excit
ed with an eye to the paltry COM
pensations or the more paltry COM
mendatiOns of mankind" This
seems to be merely the usual By
ronic strain. But it is childish to
write for those at whose judgment
YOU sheer. If man writes for the
love of writing, he prints because
he wishes other people to read what
he writes. A man who withdraws
as a hermit to the Central Park
may scott at mankind, but he is
plainly not enamored of solitude.
Yet this sneer of Poe's, in the light
of the truth now told of his life,
was not disdain, but unhappiness.
The memoir of GrisWold really
seems to be what Mr.. Mimic calls it
la malignant myth" and Mr..
Ingram, who had already edited an
English edition of Poe's works, has
patiently and conclusively disposed
of many of the base ISLANDERS
which have pursued the name of
the poet. OF many facts in his life
the true explanation is very differ
ent from the usual version. But it
is the greatest service to Poe's men,
DRY to show that his dissipation was
not the cause of his misfOrtunes,
but that peculiarly trying misfor-
tunes produced his dissipation.
This is what Mr.. Ingram has done
for an American poet whose verse
is more justly weighed now than
wnen he was living, and which is
not found wanting.

THERE are four cities in the Uni
ted States that are legitimate COM
petitOrs for the southern trade of the
country - New York, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, st. Louis. Three of
these cities treat the south with de-
cency and fairness, just as though
the southern people belonged to
their country. The sunny half of
the land is one of rich, productive
power. The growing prosperity
and wealth Of the south are chief
among the elements OF three of the
cities we have named. Cincinnati,
alone among the four, is a southern
city by geography and immediate
ness OF intercourse. Only an imag-
mary line-not distanee-separates
this great city from the great sec
ticn which Il its only commercial
hone. and this is the only city OF
the country portion OF whose
press treats the people Of the south.

GAINESVILLE, TENN.

GAINESVILLE, TENN,
Sept. %, 1880.
. To the Voters Of Montgomery county:
E. G. Dunlavy, Esq, notified the
chairman of the democratic execu-
tive committee of the county, on the
22d INST, that he could not make
the canvass for the legislature. His
reasons for declining are personal.
He will work for the success of the
party, however, to the full extent Of
his ability.
Democratic usage made it the
duty OF the committee to nominate
another candidate. Accordingly the
committee were called together this
day, and after full consideration of
the question, they unanimously
nominated Rufus N. Rhodes, Esq.
They acted thus promptly because
it is only about forty days until the
election, and it is important that
our candidate should be in the field.
Mr.. Rhodes is young man of
ability, and is fine speaker. He
will enter the canvass at once, and
will visit and speak in every dis
trict in the county. We trust our
friends will see that he has good
audiences.
Every democrat is urged to work
from now until the election for the
success of our ticket. If they will,
there can be no doubt of its success.
