ume In one poiut all were agreed. that
the boy was most injudiciously INDUCED
by his foster parents, especially in the
matter of wine-drinking. He was fond
OF wine, juleps. and toddies, and used
to beg, and was allowed TO snare tne
glasses of Mr.. Allan and his friends,
FOR ii was time when such drinks
were constantly upon the table ana SIDE
board. Previous to this he had learned
to like gin-and- water, from having
been fed with bread thus moistened, by
his devoted old nurse, in the beliet that
II would make the delicate children
"strong and healthy" This L mad from
Mrs. Mackenzie herself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Poe may have been IN
Boston at the date now generally ac-
cepted as that of Edgar's birth-Janu-
airy 10, 1sC9-but as it seems Certain
that Mrs. Byrd's is the correct date
Boston must relinquish her claim TO
the honor OF the poets birth. l often
heard Rosalie Poe and others assert
that she, Edgar, and Henry not will
liam'O were all born in Baltimore, where
also they are all buried. Their father
died in Norfolk, of consumption. HIS
widow and children came to Richmond
and boarded for some time on lower
Main street, near the Old Market, where
Mrs. Mackenzie and Mrs. Allan found
them. and where Mrs Poe died. Mrs.
Byrd tells me that she was "decent"S
put away by her father (Mr. Macken-
zle) and Mr.. Allan.
C. p. should give the credit OF Rosa

and lovable lady, Mrs. Mackenzie, and
not to Miss Jane" who disapproved
of It. The former was Rosalie's
mamma" so-called by Edgar, also, to
the day Of his death
Mrs. Poe was a Widow Hopkins when
| she married her second husband, who
was then studying law in Baltimore.
and only 10 years of age. some years
younger than herself. The marriage
greatly offended his family. and he

fession to adopt that of his wife. with
whom he travelled about. playing only
supernumerary parts. Mrs. Poe herself

public / have heard from those who
knew her that her son, Edgar A. Poe,
much resembled her in person. IL has
! often occurred to me that he would
have made good tragic actor. espe-

| Richard the Third. His resemblance to
Edwin Booth in both person and man.
ncr was very striking. S. A. w.

But had no gun, so that my fun was with

To understand our forebears' doubts

/ ana thinking en- my smile, Mary,
my Drlsnt and truEtinS smile,
IN mo n )rnlns OF our youth ana love-
Our s)rrow MAD no sulie'
When thine arms were tNlneu aooUs
my neck.
And mine locked into thine.
And the heart that throDoed lot mo
alone.
Was nesting close to mine.
I am thinking on the night, Mary
The night OF grief and shame,
When with drunken rawlings on my Ups
To thee L homeward came;
Then the tear was in thy earnest eye,
And thy bosom wildly heaved;
Yet a smile of love was on thy cneek,
Though thy heart was sorely grieVed.
Ny words were harsh to thee, Mary,
For the yinscup drove me wild,
And | child thee when thine eyes were
sad,
And cursed tiee when they smiled.
God knows l loved thee even theh'
But the fire was In my brain,
To make my love bane.
".
Thou art slumboring In the churchyard
now.
And no stone is at thy head,
But the sexton knows drunkards VIE
Sleeps In that lowly bed.
And he says the hand of God, Mary,
VIII fall with crushing weight
On the wretch that brought thy gentle
life
To this untimely fate.
V.
But he knows not Of the broken heart
/ bear within my breast,
Or the heavy load or vain remorse
That will not let me rest.
And he knows not Of the sleepless
nights.
When dreaming of thy love,
seem TO see thy angel eyes
Look coldly from above.
Thou art sleeping now in thy peaceful
grave,
And thy sleep is dreamless now.
But the soul Of an undying grief
Is on thy mourner's brow,
And my heart is chilled as thine, Mary,
For the joys Of life have fled,
And l long TO lay my aching breast,
With thu old and silent dead.
