- HOWDWOU'WRITEeA
gEe4e<u LOVE'LE7TR ?As@Ml


Edgar Allan Poe was of a particularly
sentimental turn of mind. almost NOR
bidly so, and his love affairs and their
termination cover a considerable period
of the most interesting part of his life.
His first attachment was for Mrs Helen
Stannard, the mother of one of his school
mates. He was only a little more than
15 years old at the time. She died soon
afterward and was buried In Richmond
For months afgterward Poe haunted her
grave. His poem, ITO Helen" was In
spired by her memory.
When he was only II he fell In love
with Elmira Royster and they consid-
cred themselves engaged. He wrote tc
her frequently but her father broke OF
the engagement on account of theiI
youth. After he was dismissed from
West Point he visited his aunt, Mrs
Cle1nm, who lived in Baltimore, and there
he met his cousin, Virginia, whom ne
later married. Poe often said: II see nc
one so beautiful as my sweet little wife. "
Here is a specimen of the character OF
letters Poe was in tho habit of writing
to his wife:
MY Dear Heart-My Dear Virginia
Our mother will explain to you why
stay away from you tonight. 1 trust the
interview l am promised will result il
some substantial good for me-for your
dear sake and hers-keep up your hear;
in all hopefulness, and trust yet little
longer. In my last 81 eat disappointment
should have lost my courage but for
you-my little darling wife. You are my
greatest and only stimulus now, to Battle
with this uncongenial, unsatisfactory and
ungrateful life.
II shall be with you tomorrow P. NJ
and be- assured until I see you 1 vii
keep in loving remembrance your last
words and your fervent prayer! Sl.el
we'll, and may God grant you peaceful
summer with your devoted-Edgar.
When this letter was written Mrs. Pot
was i'll and the fear Of her loss haunted
the poet by night and day. 1t was this
anxiety for Virginia to which Poe at
TIrEcnAV CIIATEAITRRTA AMI
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-17

tributed his failure to withstand his appe-
tite for stimulants.
However this may be, his dissipation
lost for him the edtorship of Graham s. -
and after doing some desultory literary
work and delivering a few lectures, suf-
fering much from poverty. Poe and his
wife and mother went to New York in
April, 1874. Three years later Virginia
died, and after 1t was all over, Poe fell
i'll and lay in a stupor for several days
1t was the thought of his wife and his
loss that prompted his heart through his
mind to write:
For the moon never beams withou.
bringing me dreams
OF my beautiful Annabel Lee,
And the stars never rise but I see the
bright eyes
OF my beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so all the night-tide lie by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and
my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea-
In her tomb by the sounding sea-"
Late in the winter of this year Mrs
Sarah Helen Whitman of Providence, r
l.. came into his life. Poe had been intro.
duced to her by an English lady He tolf
her of his love, but she sent him away
promising to write: In answer to her first
letter, in part he said; "I have presse.
your letter again and again to my lips
sweetest Helen, bathing 1t in tears O.
joy, or of a divine despair
Your hand rested within mine and nv
soul shook with a tremulous ecstacy: and
then, but for the fear of grieving OF
wounding you l would have fallen al
your feet in as real a worship as wa.
ever offered to idol or to God"
Mrs. Whitman steadfasty refused tc
marry Poe. Later when Poe went south
to Richmond for his health he renewed
his acquaintance with Mrs Shelton, nov
widow, who was Elmira Royster, hi,
first love. He offered marriage to hel
and she accepted him. This was in 1910
Shortly afterward he started north to ar.
range for the wedding and met with 6

The American troops on the Mexican border have received orders not to return the fire of the Mexicans unless they are instructed to do so direct from the war department. These in structions are considered necessary owing to the dangerous complexion which matters on the border have now assumed.
 MEXICO CITY, March l4.-The re- markable fact of General Orozco
 fighting on the side of the Mexican government is now about to be real ized. He and his army will probably be sent into Sonora to co operate with the federals in their invasion of that state and he declares himself to be quite in readiness to set out on the march. His force. while being main tained independent to some extent, is regarded as portion of the loyal forces. In the fight in Sonora state he will find himself waging war on many of his former friends.
