Its crimson buds and ple soft blsotns dim,
In lowly beauty constantly doth wear ;
OVr yellow stubble lands in mantle brown
He wanders through the wan October light :
Still as he goeth. slowlj stripping down
The garlands green that were the spring's delight.
At morn and eve thin silver vapors rise
Aroand his path : but sometimes at mid-day
He looks slong the hills with gentle eyes,
That make the sallowwoods and fields seemjjay.
Yet something of sad sov'reignty he hath
A sceptre brown'd with berries ruby red,
And the cold sobbing wind bestrews bis path
With withered leaves, that rustle 'neath his tread ;
And round him, still in melancholy state.
Sweet solemn 'thoughts of death and of decay,
In slow and hush'd attendance, ever wait,
Telling how all things fair most pass away.

POETRY?
DEATH OF EDGAR FOE.
f Th ancient fable of two antagonist spi-
ritt impriaoned in one body, equally pow
( erfui and baring the complete mastery by
turna of one man, that is to saynhabited
by both devil and aa angel seems to bare
been realized, if all we hear is true, in the
1 character of the extraordinary man whose
nam we hare written above. Our own im
pressions of the nature of Edgar Poe, differ
in some important degree, however, from
that which has been generally conveyed in
the notices of his death.
Some four or five years since, whn edit
ing a daily paper in this city, Mr. Poe was
employed by us, for several months, as crit
ic and sub-editor. This was our first per
sona! acquaintance with him. He resided
with his wife and mother, at Fordliam, a
few miles out of town, but wae at his desk
in the office, from nine Jn the morning till
I be evening paper went to press. With the
highest ad deration for his genius, and a wil
lingness to let it atone for more than ordina
ry irregularity, we were -led bj common rr
port to expect a very capricous attention to
his duties, and occasionally a scene of, vio
lence and difficulty. Time went on, how
ever, and he was invariably punctual and
industrious. With his pile, beautiful and
intellectual face, as a reminder of what ge
nius was in biui, it was impossible, of
course, not to treat him always with defer
ential courtesy, and, to our . occasional re
quest that he would not probe too deep in a
criticism, or lhat he would erase a passage
colored too highly with 1iis resentments
azainsl society and mankind, he readily and
courteously assented far more " yielding
than moat men, we thought, on points so
excusably sensitive. With a prospect of
taking the lead in another periodical, he, at
last, voluntarily gare up his employment
with us, and through all this considerable
period, we had seen but one presentment of
the man a quiet, patient, industrious and
. most gentlemanly person, commanding the
utmost respect and good feeling by his un
varying deportment and ability.
Residing as he did in the country, we
never met Mr. Poe in hours of leisure ; but
be frrqueotlv called on us aftcrward.3 at our
place of tusmess, and we met him nfieu in
the street invariably the same ,snl mari
ne red, winning and rrJTned gentleman, such
as we bad always known him. It was by
romor only, op to the day of his death, that
we. knew of any other development of man
ner ox character. We heard, from one who
knew him well, (what should be stated in
all mention of his lamentable irregularities.)
that,' with Mingle glass of wine, his whole
pature wag reversed, the demon became up
permost, and though none of the usual signs
f intoxication -were visible, his srtZZ was
palpably ihsahe. '"Possessing his reasoning
q auJliesTnexelted'actirity, at such times,
b4 swcki'ng bis acquaintances with his won.
fj ted look and memory, he easily seemed
Vfefsonatrrrgonly another phase of his natu
nrOraf character', and wai accused accordingly,
pf insulting arrogance .and ba4,beartednesa.

tert (of which the constant' application for
autographs has taken from us, we are sorry
to confessrtlire greater -portion) 'exhibited
this quality very strongly. -In one of the
carelessly written notes of which we chance
still to 'retain possession, for instance, be
speaks of "The Raven" that extraordina
ry poem which electrified the world of im
aginative readers, and has become the type
of a school of poetry of its own and, in ev
ident earnest, attributes its success to the
few words of commendation with which we
had prefaced it in this paper. It will throw
light on his sane character to give a literal
copy of the note :
FordHav, April 20, 1819.
Mt Deae Willis : The poem which I
enclose, and which I am so vain as to hope
you will like, in some respects, has been
just published in a paper for which sheer
necessity compels me to write now and
j then It pays well' as times go but unques

erer I send it I feel I am consigning to the
I tomb of the Capulets. The verses accom
panying this, may I beg you to take out of
the tomb, and bring them to light in the
Home Journal 7 If you can oblige me so
far as to copy them, I do not think it will
be necessary to say 4 From the ' that
would be too bad ; and, perhaps From a"
late paper, would do.
" I have not forgotten bow a ' good word
in season from you made 'The Raven,' and
made Ulalume, (which, by the way, peo
ple have done me the honor of attributing
to you) therefore I would ask you, (if 1
dared,) to say something of these lines if
they please you. iruly yours ever,,

- " Fox dhabi, January 22, 1849.
" Mt Dar Mr. Willis : I am about to
make an effort at re-establishing myself in
the literary world, and feel lhat 1 may depend
upon your aid.
M My general aim is to start a Magazine,
to be called " The Stylus ;n but it would
be useless to me, even when established, if
not entirely out of the control of a publish
er. I mean, therefore, lo get up a Journal
which shall be my own, at all points. With
this end in view, I must get a list of, at
least, five hundred subscribers to begin
with: nearly two hundred I have already.
I propose, however, to go South and West,
among my personal and literary friends
old college and West Point acquaintances
and see what I can do. In order to get
the means of taktngthe first step, I propose
to lecture at the Society Library, on Thurs
day, the 3d of February and, that there
may be no cause of squabbling, my subject
shall not be literary at all. I hare chosen a
broad text "The Unirerse."
Having thus given you the facts of the
case, I leare all the rest to the suggestions
of your own tact and generosity. Grate
fully mor gratefully
"your friend always,
EDGAR A. POE.
Brief, and chance-taken, as these letters
are, we think they sufficiently prove the ex
istence of the very qualities denied to Mr.
Poe humility, willingness to persevere,
belief in another's kindness and capibilily
of cordial and grateful friendship ! -Such ie
assuredly was when sane. Such only be has
invariably seemed to us, in all we have hap
pened personally to know him, through a
friendship of five rrsix years. And so much
easier is it to believe wbal we hare seen
and known, than what we hear oonly, thit
we remember him but with admiration and
respect these descriptions of him, whn
morally insane, seeming fe us like portrait,
painted in sickness, of a man we have only
known in health.
But there is another, more touching, aid
far more forcible evidence that there trk
goodness in Edgar Poe. To reveal it, e
are obliged to venture upon the lifting of
the veil which sacredly covers grief and re
finement inporerty but we think it may e
excused, if, so, we can brighten the mem
ry of the poet, even were there not a mire
needed and immediate service which it rrvy
render to the nearest link broken by lis
death.
Our first knowledge of Mr. Poe's remoial
to this city was by a call which we received
from a lady who introduced herself to us as
the mother of his wife. She was in seat:h
of em ploy me nt for him, and she excused
her errand by mentioning that he was Jl,
and her dauj-Iiter was a confirmed invalid,
and that their circumstances were such as
compelled hr taking it upon herself. "Pie
countenance of this lady, made beautiful aid
saintly with an evidently complete giviig
up of her life to privation and sorrowful tei
derness, her gentle and mournful voice urg
ing its plea, her long-forgotten but habili
allr and unconsciously refined manners,aid
her appealing and yet appreciative mention
of the claims and abilities of her son, dii
coscd at once the presence of one of thpte
angels upon earth that women in adversity
can be. It was a hard fate that she was
watching over. Mr. Poe wrote with fastidi
ous difficulty, and in a style too much abov;
the popular Idvel to be well paid. He was
always in pecuniary difficulty, and with hh
sick wife, frequently in want of the merest
necessaries of life. Winter, after, wintet,
for years, the most touching sight to us, is
this whole city, has been that tireless mil
liter to genius, thinly and insufficient
clad going from office to office with a poem,
or arrarticle on some literary subject, to sel
i-sdme times simply pleading in a broke!
vpicflL jbat - he waa ill, and begging lor mnv
-nvrUiooingnothing but .that " he was
ifl," Whatever might be tbelreaspn ibr btf
writing nothiDg-Pod never, amid all b
tears and recitals oC distress, suffering
syllable to escape her lips that could twv
rev a UOUUl oi aim, or a compiatan, i .-,.
senilis? of nrido fif bis renins and goo
tentions. Her daughter died, a year and a
half since, but she did 1hol desert him. She
continued his ministering angel livinrwith
him caring for him guarding him against
exposure, and, when he was carried away
by temptation, amid urief and the loneliness
of feeling unreplied to, and awoke from his
self-abandonment prostrated in destitution
and suffering, begging for him still. If wo
man's devotion, born with f first love and
fed with human passion, hallow its object,
as it is allowed to do, what does not a devo
tion like this pure, disinterested and holy
as the watch of an invisible, spirit say for
him who inspired it?
We have a letter before us, written by this
lady, Mrs. Clemm, n the morning in which
she heard of the death of this object of her
untiring care. It is merely a request that
we would call upon her, but we will copy a
few of its words sacred as its privacy is
to warrant the truth of the picture we have
drawn above, and add force to the appeal we
wish to make for her :
" I have this morning heard of the
death of my darling Eddie. Can you
give me any circumstances or particulars.
Oh ! do not desert your poor friend in
thi3 bilteraffliction. Ask Mr. to
come, as I must see him to deli vera message
to turn from my poor Eddie. I need
not ask you to notice his death and to speak
well of him. I know you will. But sav what
an affectionate son he was to me, his poor
desolate mother.
To hedge round a grave with respect, what
choice is there, between the relinquished
wealth and honors of the world, and the story
of such a woman's unrewarded devotion !
Risking what we do, in delicacy, by making
it public, we feel other reasons aside that
it betters the world to make known that there
are such ministrations lo its erring and gifted.
What we have said will speak to some
hearts. There are those who will be glad
tojnow how the lamp, whose light of poetry
h4a beamed on their far-away recognition,
was watched over with care and pain that
they may send to her, who is more darkened
than they by its extinction, some token of
their sympathy She w destitute; and alone.
If any, far or near, will send to us what may
aid and cheer her through the remainder
of ber life, we will joyfully place it in her
hands.
We have occupied so much room that we
defer speaking critically of Mr. Poelj writ
tings, as we intended lo do when we sat
down ; and this, and some rqpie minute de
tails of biography, we shall hope to find time
for, hereafter.
