WHEN POE RECITED.
First Public Appearance OF the
wcll-Known Poet Melted Him the
sum of Six Dollars.

''It was at Mrs. McKenzie's that /
first heard Foe recite, at her request,
The Raven and 'Annabel Lee only
the family being present" says
writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
From an unusually lively mood he
lapsed at once into manner, express
sion and tone of voice of gloomy and
almost weird solemnity, gazing as II
on something invisible to others, and
never changing his position. until the
recitation was concluded. 1t hap
pened that he had just before re-
ouested of Mrs. Mckenzie the loan OF
a sum of. money, which request she
was for a time unable. to comply
with; and she now said to him, Ed
gar, what do you think of giving
public recital of those poems? IL
would probably prove a financial sue
cess The result was that about
week later there appeared in the city
papers a notice that on certain
evening the poet would give q recita-
ton of his own two favorite poems In
the exchange concert room, tickets
tn be had at a certain book store.
Over 200 of these were printed, the
charge of admission being so cents
each.
ION the appointed evening, 1, then
a Young man of "a, accompanied Mrs.
Julia Mayo Cabell and another lady,
both warm personal friends OF Poe
from his childhood, to the place OF
the proposed recitation. We arrived
some moments after the appointed
time. and, to our surprise, found, in
stead of full audience, but nine per-
sons assembled, we, together with
the usher, making thirteen in num-
Der. Some time elapsed before Poe
made his appearance, when he took
his place on the platform, bowed, and
resting his hands on the back OF a
chair. recited The Raven and Anna
bel Lee,' but in q mechanical sort OF
wav. and with q total lack OF the
weird and gloomy expression which
had given them such effect at MIS-
McKenzie's. On concluding, he again
bowed and abruptly left the platform.
1.-THE proceeds of this experiment.
was Sc. in consideration of which, MI.
Boyden, proprietor of the exchange.
would make no charge for the use OF
the hall, lights and attendance"
