One of Poe,s Recitations.

Edgar A. Poe was invited to deliver a poem
in Boston at the opening of a course of lee
tures-a course, by the way, of which Emer-
sons series, published under the title "Repre
sentative Men" formed part. Poe, with his
usual shiftlessness, neglected to write this
poem, and brought here at the last moment
one of his useful effusions which he had had
several years in his portfolio. This was not
the worst of his difficulties, for, as the even
ing approached, it was doubtful if he would
be able to appear on the platform at all. He
went out to drive with some friends in the
afternoon, and there he took too much cham
pagne and became very drunk. The problem
was to sober him off before the evening was
reached. This was in d measure accomplished
by various processes, the last Of all of which
was by running him UP and down an unfre
quented street between two gentlemen who
volunteered for the purpose. There was
lecture to be delivered which occupied over
an hour, before the poem was reached, and
by that time Poe was in condition to recite
it. 1t was an incoherent affair." and the audi
ence listened in amazement, at loss to know
what it meant
After it was over the whole thing was so

present for their disappointment, it was an
nounced that Mr.. Poe would recite his own
poem of 'SThe Raven" This he did, and very
effectively I was present, and remember
the scene we'll Poe was then handsome
man, with ON intelligent brow-much like the
portraits of Hawthorne-and dark, dreamy
eyes, which well beftted poet. His voice
was clear and musical, and he declaimed the
poem with much feeling. The next morning
the papers exposed the sham of his alleged
poem, and the state in which its author had
been leaked out Poe was very mad with
Boston, and braved the thing through in a
characteristically reckless way. He published
an account of the dinner at which he was over
come, and gave the names of those who were
present at it. Mr.. Whipple, Mr.. James T.
Fields and others were of the number. No
body blamed them who knew the circum
stances, but they did not like the notoriety.
Mr. Whipple remarked that twas almost the

Fashions in Tombstones.

There are fashions in tombstones, but they
change slowly. The styles OF the present do
not differ much from those of twenty years
ago, but difference is noticed in those set up
fifty or more years ago. There were never
columns in those days. As now, the cheaper
stones were plain slabs. One of the expensive
shapes, which always marked distinguished
grave, was a marble slab laid horizontally on
four marble columns, making a sort of a
table. The inscription was carved on the top,
which allowed plenty of space for verses,
which no well regulated gravestone of the
first part of the century could do witoout.
These verses, which read SO quantity now,
were always written by the pastor. 1t was
his duty when one of his parishioners died to
compose a suitable stanza, and the ministers
were always paid for them-a thing that few
periodicals even of those days would have
done. In olden times nothing but brownstone
and sandstone was used. The carving was
crude, and one of the requirements of fashion
was that every slab should have human face
carved over the inscription. The stylish
gravestone to have now is a monument. New

north. No very violent alteration of
