Poe. This poem was not published until
many years after Mr.. Poe's death. II is
written in the style of his 80 Raven.r which
fact will be readily recognized by all admir-
ers of his poetry.)
From the throne OF lie eternal,
From the home of love supernal,
Where angel feet make music of all the
starry floor,
Mortsls, ] have come , meet you,
Come wit h words ofpeace to greet you,
And to tell you OF the gfcry that is mine for
evermore.
: Once before found a mortal
Waiting at the heavenly portal
Waiting but to catch some echo from that
ever opening door,
b. Then l seized his quickened being,
And through all his inward seeming,
Caused my burning inspiration in a fiery
flood to pour,
Now l come more meekly human,
With the weak lips of woman
Touched with fire from off the altar, not
'fSA with burning as of yore,
ssg But in holy love ascending,
With her chastened being blending,
| would fill your souls with music from the
bright celestial shore.
As one heart yearns for another,
As child turns to its mother.
From the golden gates of glory turn to the
earth once more.
Where drained the cup of sadness,
Where my soul was stung to madness,
And life's bitter burning pillows swept my
burdened being Ger.
Here the harpies and the ravens,
Human vampires, sordid cravens,
Preyed upon my soul and substance tall
writhed with anguish sore,
Life and seemed then mismated.
tl For felt accursed and fated,
Like a restless, wrathful spirit wandering on
the Stygian shore.
Tortured By nameless yearning,
Like frost fire, freezing, burning,
Did the purple pulHing life tide through its
lowered channels pour.
. Till the golden bowl, ;" rlifes token
Into shining shsrds was broken
And my chRfed and chAing spirit leaped
a. from out its prison door.
a Bat while living, striving, dying,
Never did my aoul cease crying,
eye who guide the fates and 'furies, give,
ohIglve me, / implorel
From the myriad hosts of nations,
From the countless consultations,
One pure spirit that can love income that l,
too, can adorel"
Through this fervent aspiration,
Found nay fainting soul salvation,
For from out its blackened ire-crypts did
my quickensd spirit -oar;
And my beautiful ideal
Not too sanity to be real
Burst more brightly on my vision than the
fancy-formed Lenore.
Mid the surging seas she found me,
With the pillows breaking round me.
And my saddened, sinking spirit in her arms
of love upbore,
Like lone one weak ard weary,
Wandering in the midnight dreAry,
On her sinless, sanity bosom, brought me to
the heavenly shore.
Like the breath of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers of saints ascending,
Like the rainbow's seven-lined glory blend
our souls foreYermore.
Ear hly love and lust enslavsd me,
But divinest love hath saved me,
And know now first and only how to love
and to adore.
Omv mortal friends and brothers.
We are each and all aDother'sl
And the soul that gives most freely from It's
treasure hath the more.
Would you lose your life you find it;
And in giving love GU bind it,
Like an amulet OF safety to your heart

One Of the most curious proper
ties Of quicksilver is its capacity Of
dissolying or Of forming amalgams
with other metals. A sheet Of gold
foil, dropped into quicksilver, dis
appears almost as quickly as a
snowflake when it drops into water.
1t has the power Of separating or Of
readily dissolying those refractory
metals which are not acted upon
by our mos powerful acids. The
gold and silver miners pour II into
their machines holding the powdered
gold bearing quartz; and, although
no human eye can detect trace OF
precious substance, 50 fine are the
particles, yet the liquid metal will
hunt them out, and incorporate Il
into It's mass. BY subsequent dis
tillation it yields into hanis Of the
miners, in a state of virgin purity.

one man has returned from the Arctic |

One man has returned from the Arctic
regions who was almost given up by his
friends. The finding of Mr.. Leigh
Smith in Nova Zembla was certainly an
unexpected event. He was accustomed
to go on an exploring expedition in his
yacht, the Ezra, every summer, return
ing home about September. In 1880 he
went as high above Franz JOsey Land
as latitude eighty two degrees, and
came near being wrecked on a reef on
his return. He left in July, 1881, as
usual, to make some discoveries, taking
six months supply of provisions, and
not word had been heard of him until
the present announcement of his res
cue. The Ezra, which was a steam
yacht 1876 feet long, twenty-five feet
beam, was crushed in the ice, but Smith
and his crew managed to escape with
food and tents, and with the game they
shot they managed to get along, until
picked up, year after their departure.

messed underneath a sort Of long, heavy
barrow upon wheels. This holds the
load. A man or woman holds the hand
les of the thing, and the dogs trOt along
beneath. Their ribs stick out lll-padded
with flesh, as though they were not very
we'll fed. Their painting sides, lolllng
tongues, and sorrOwful, appealing eyes,
would touch the heart of stone. Every
thing hereabOuts, too, seems done Oy
sheer, brute strength. There Is no saw
ing labor, either by machinery or oy the
application of common sense. In the
field we saw no American agricultural
machinery, as in England and Scotland.
Where in America a load of baggage,
trunks, yalises, and boxes, would be
piled high upon dray or great truck,
and transferred at one gulp for short dis
tances, here your porter takes 1t on his
head OF arm, as the case may be, and
Iugs it off slowly and painfully, one
niece at a time. We have had more fuss
and trouble to keep from losing our
baggage coming from London to Co.
lOgne, than we should have had at home
in going from n York to San Francisco
and back again. Strange country this
where women and dogs do the work, and
where they have no checks for baggage:
Stockings are knit by hand instead of
by machinery, and in Antwerp and
Brussels the women are so industrious
that they knit running along the streets
going on errands.

The Hon. Ezra Taylor, who rattles
around in Garfelds shoes as member of
Congress from the Nineteenth district,
is the next man to amble up to the
mOurners' bench and explain why he
voted for the river and barber steal.
The Hon. Ezra makes very lame de-
fense, but when man is caught in his
neighbor's hen house with the poultry
in his hands, an acceptable defense is
somewhat difficult. The Hon. Ezra
voted for the steal and apologies as
best he can. He explains that he thinks
a "broader view of the subject is desira-
ble," and that "sOme of the sO.called
clerks are very important to commerce"
The Hon. Ezra having pleaded guilty
and thrown himself on the mercy of the
court, can now step down and await the
verdict. The people do not think any
"brOader view is desirable" They know
a steal is steal, and that is all there is
about it.-Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

THE IGNORANCE OF EDU-
GATED MEN.

The Examiner rebukes the Ignorance
of educated men thus:
A man owes it to himself, to his fami-
ly, to the community in which he lives,
to have some ideas above mere bread
and butter, to think of something be-
sides material success in life. What the
world needs most to-day everywhere Is
genuine men, fully developed men
men of a fleXibility of mind that can
bend itself to any subject, of broad
ness of spirit that can take an interest
in any theme; men, in short, who take
for their motto the famous line of Ter
ence, with wider Interpretation of 1t
than was dreamed of in ancient times,
81 am man, and nothing pertaining to
humanity is Indifferent to me- We
have all known men of this type; and,
wherever we have known them, we have
recognized them at once as the type
that needs to be multiplied. There Is
nothing necessarily narrowing in bust
ness and professional life. There Is
nothing incompatible between the high
est success in ones chosen calling and
an intelligent interest in and knowledge
of what men are doing in literature, in
science, in art, in philosophy. Breadth
does not preclude depth. A man would
fail it is true, who attempted a thorough
mastery of all the branches of knoWl-
edge. Ilor6 was udy Wueu Ou6 ulhu
by diligence could hope to master every
thing that was known, or at least all of
it that was worth knowing; but that
day passed long ago. To master ones
own profession or business is now the
task Of a lifetime; and to be complete
master of more than one branch of
knowledge is possible only to the few, if
to any. But this is not the object to be
aimed at. 1t is possible for the most
busy man of affairs to learn the some
thing of everything" while not neglect
ing to acquire the "everything of some
thing" There is but one way to do
this, however; and that is to begin in
youth and continue through life to seek
deliberately and continually a broad
culture as we'll as deep learning. The
result will be a wide and intelligent in
terest in the progress of the worlds de-
velOpment, and the accumulation of
stock of general knowledge which will
make its pOssessOr a welcome addition
to any social circle, and furnish an un-
falling source of amusement for his
own leisure hours.-Examiner.

And nobody in this region seems to

rying upon their heads loads which look
awful. 1t is enough to crush their skulls
in, one would think. The picture tells
the whole story of life among the lower
classes in this country. 1t Is barbar-
ism as complete as reigns among the
Indian savages Of America, where the
squaws do the drudgery and the men
fight and hunt. Men in uniform fairly
swarm. They waddle about the country

the most magniicently disciplined
standing army in the world is maintain

those people in the years tOscome. The

Church Membership, called upon Owen
Snyder, of Malvern, for a livery rig last
Wednesday. After he had procured the
team, an unmarried lady by the name

and hoped lightly into the buggy, and
together they drove over to Canton,
where they took the cars for parts un-
known. Some suppose to the Garden of
Love, in the Elysian fields of the West.
Mr.. Snyder's team reached home in the
course of three days minus the hire fee.
