Authorities iler as to birthplace of the i::jtet of sketch some claiming that the this Bal- timore is tl.e city of his nativity, while others sav that he was a native Bostoniau. However, the preponderance oi evidence seems to be against the "Hub" in this case. This we do know, that, at a very early age, his parents having died, he was adopted by a wealthy gentleman named Allan, living in Richmond, Va., where most ot his boyhood was spent. During a considera ble portion of his afterlife he was in New York and Philadelphia but, wherever lie was and under whatever circumstances, lie al ways claimed the sunny South land as his home. We like to think of him as distinctively Southern. What section of our country would uot be glad to claim "the finest and most original poetic genius vet produced bv Ameri ca?" Yet, Poe was not iertect far fnmi if. His character and Nvritings have furnished food for much speculation and many conflicting opinions. Many of his critics have even stooped so low as to report to the basest calumny. He had many glaring faults, yet there seems to be no foundation whatever for the charges of baseness which prein- diced and unprincipled critics bring against him. These as- persions can, in most instances, ! be traced to some ersonal or I sectional causes. It is a notable; fact that most of his assailants; are Xortherners. As an instance of an attack called forth for the purpose of venting personal spleen, we re fer you to an article by R. H. Stoddard, published a few years ago in Lippincott's Magazine in which, iu the very outset, he unwittingly betrays the cause c:f his dislike by saying that Poe once, while editor of the Broad way Journal, refused to publish one of his poetical compositions lhroughout the whok article you can sec that, likcjuiio. "there remained stored awav deep m lis heart the affront of his slight ed" poem. And thus it is gen erall v. The life of loe was indeed a sad one. Who, as he reads his biographv, can fail to be touch ed ; as he follows him through lis povertv ; as he sees him con stantly hoping for better days, which never come : as he sees lim gaining friends bv whom he is always, sooner or later, de serted; as he sees him bestowing his choicest works upon a pub ic who are devoid of apprecia tion . lie was ever projecting some means by which lie might better his circumstances, g'un or himself a competence so that le might concentrate all his powers upon his writings; yet te was destined ever to be disap pointed. There never livd a man who could with more truth sav with Thos. Moore: "Oh, ever thus, fiom child hood's hour, I've seen my fondest hopes decay !" But may it not be that we have to thank a kind Providence for bringing these calamities upon him? Is it not possible that they gave a certain sweet ness to his poems? Younj says, "As night to stars, woe lustre mves to man. Alav this not have been true in his case? Surelv, no one but a sufferer could have written such gems as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee." But this verv pathos has been imputed as a fault to him. His critics sav that most of his poems are too sad. But is it not reason able that a mind which has all its .powers exercised in one direc tiou can come nearer producing perfection in that direction than if its powers were divided ? Is it not reasonable that a person whose mind inclines toward the pathetic can do a grander work bv writing as his inclination di rects than by constantly trying to flit from the pathetic to the humorous, then to the witty, and so on; as many poets have done without, however, attain insr any marked success? In one sense of the term his ge nius was indeed versatile; for. in addition to his poems, he has left many prose productions of de cided merit. During his life time he was known far and wide as v critic. In this department his ge nius shone most brilliantly. In fact, he may be called the verv father of criticism in America. Heretofore it had only been a means of advertising and 110 one thought of judging an author by what the critics said of him. This was the state of affairs that Poe lound when he turned his attention in this direction and he, accordingly, determined to institute a reform. How well he succeeded is attested by the impartial criticism of the pres ent day. The most conclusive evidence that we have of his tal ent in this direction is the fact that he was never late in recog nizing genius. He foretold the volcanic outburst with which Dickens was to astound the world ere he had heard the faint est murmur, which preceded the eruption. He saw the smolder ing flames of genius in Tennyson, Longfello 5V, and Hawthorne, which, afterwards, burst forth iu all their radiant splendor. His stories are famous. How rveird! How lull of mysticism! Yet, with what consummate skill thev are written! Read his "Ligeia" or "The Fall of the House of Usher" or "The Gold Bug" and, when you have finish ed, you feel that nothing could lie added. The sameeffect ispro duced as when 3-011 behold some masterpiece of Grecian sculpture. You are struck with the svmme- trv.aud perfection of every part. His longest production, "bure- ka," an essay on the lormatioiLrious to the morals of the psop'e. of the universe, although many of his theories are absurd, has a asting place in our literature. Like Goldsmith's histories not to be relied upon it is yet thor oughly enjoyable because of its beauty of style. But "the paths of glory lead a aav.l. C but to the grave, in the citv 01 ialtimore on the 7th, of Octo . ..." . tf er, lsu came mc ' inevicaoie ioi:r. in a public nospitai, un- mourncd. died this bril'iant man. How sad the spectacle! Xo lov- n wife nor fond mother, not even a friend was there to minis ter to him in his last moments. Poe is not our ideal ; his faults were many ; yet, ourcandid opin- 011 1?, that, as a man, he has xv:i misrepresented and, as a writer, has never been fully ap preciated. C. Gladiatorial Combats. Every evil has its effect and no person leaves a blank ;n his por tion c f evil doing. Every person seeks some amusements, be thej good or evil, and our subject suggests some of the worst which humanity sought lor past-time. As early as the days of Greece, we find a mild form of these amusements, such as the Olym pic and ether games in which people indulged, consisting of wrestling, boxing, and chariot racing. Xot until the Roman period, however, did these amusements reach their height of popularity and icceive the name Gladiatori al Combats from the weapon, the sword, which thev used. The rsal combats in which men were siam in great num bers, were supposed to have originated in Etruria. from a custom the natives had of kill ing their captives and prisoners on the graves of brave warriors, thinking that the spirits of the dead delighted in such blood. A little later, however, thecaptives were allowed to fight until they killed each other, as the-thought this morehumane than to murder them "in cold blood." Thus, through the sympathies of hu mamtv arose one ol tne most cruel and innuman institutions that ever existed among civilized people. The first combat at Rome was given 264 B. C, in the Porum, bv two sons, at the funeral of their father. From this time they began to spread until they became as popular as the theat rical plays of to-day. Schools were soon organized for the training of the combat ants. At hrst slaves only were trained, but eventually ruined spendthrifts, nobles, senators, and even women sold themselves to men who kept the training institutions and speculated in gladiators. In these games the successful combatants were awarded prizes and sometimes their freedom and even, in some cases, Divine worship. All of these were to make the combatants contend more eagerly and make the scene moie exciting. It became a custom for all candidates for public suffrage to give giadiatori 1 combats for the amusement of the public. In some of these, several thousands ol people were killed. The gladi iitors sometimes contended with hungry lions, as men could not kill one another fast enough to please the innumerable specta tors. The Emperor Commodus entered the arena clothed in a lion's skin, armed with a club, and ordered his opponents to be armed with large sponges instead of rocks in order that he might slay great num bers of them without danger to himself. The Emperor Claudius determined to give a spectacle that should render all others in significant. He did this by ex hibiting a naval battle between two ships on a certain lake where the sloping banks furnish ed seats for the great masses of eager spectators. In this battle alone were slain about nineteen thousand' gladiators. These gamcscontinued in favor till about 500 A. D. when they were finally, after repeated efforts abolished by the Christians to whom thev had dene so much injuty. These theatrical combats were attended by all classes of societ' and were, therefore, very inju- Many of the football and base ball games : nd especially the prize-fighters of our country are but remnants of ancient bar barism. Although these are in dulged in more moderately than were the ancient gladiatorial combats, they certainly are as black a stain on the pages of the history oi our highly en lightened country as were the real gladiatorial combats in the annals of Pagan Rome. G. The Reign of Augustus. At the end of the the war be tween Antony and Augustus, Rome lav exhausted. The citi- zens, who were worn out witu fighting, made no other attempt to regain their fornur liberty. Augustus, upon the death of Antonv, obtained entire com mand of the Roman provinces, and the people, tired of the rule of the aristocratic parties, glad ly sought peace under his rule. Augustus was great and wise enough to restore Rome to her former glory. This was a great undertaking. Indeed Merivale savs: 1 tie estauusnmeni.01 mc Roman Empire was, after all, the reatest political work that any human being ever wrought. The achievements of Alexander, of Crcsar. of Charlemagne, of Jlapo- eon, are not to be compared witn it for a moment. Rome was now a monarchy, but in the form of a republic. The consuls were elected every year as formerly and the senate was restored to its great ness. Rome was better suited for a monarchy than for a repub lic, because it was composed of people from all parts of the world, who, of course, had not true patriotic principles. Augustus sought to make his subjects forget his former cruel tics by bestowing favors upon them and by ruling them with much milJness and goodness. He accomplished hispcrpose and became very much loved by them. He determined to give to the senate the power of punishing criminals, while he enjoyed the popularity of forgiving them for offences. Although he held the power of life and death in hishand, Augus tus liked to be treated with fa miliarity hy bis subjects. Many anecdotes are told of this. The following illustrates it. One day a person who had com mitted "some offence was brought into his presence. His face show ed so much terror that Augustus was displeased. "Friend," he said. "I am a man, not an elc- Iphant. Be bolder." During this reign Rome enjoy ed almost universal peace. The doprs of the temple of Janus, which alwavs stood open in time of war, were twice clcsd At this time, when nearly all theworld was at peace Christ was born in a distant part of the Ro man Empire. It seems as if the world was in this way prepared for so great an event. Augustus leautified Rome very much. He was fond of saying that "he found it of brick, and left it of marble." At this time literature, which in the reign of the kings had amounted to but little, received so great patronage that this was called the "golden age of lit erature." Livy, Horace, Ovid, Yirgil, and many more poets and prose writers flourished. Virgil was so great a favorite that he died ver3 rich. The last years of the reign of Augustus were clouded by do mestic bereavement. He mar ried Livia who had two sons, Tiberius and Drusus. Tiberius had so violent a temper that he was banished for a few years, but afterwards being recalled he was made the companion of his father in his reign, who was then thinking of retiring from the cares of government. During his march with Tiberi us through Illyria, he was tak en violently ill and, hastening towards Rome, was compelled to stop at Xola in Campania, where he died. A few hours be fore his death he caused a mir ror to be brought him and he arranged his hair with unusual caie. He then asked his friends standing near if he httd pla3ed well his part in life. Upon being told he had, he said, "Then giye me your applause." With these words he died A. D. 14 in his seventy-four Ih year. Thus died Rom's greatest emperor and under whom she reached her greatest power and glory. A. The Newspaper as a Factor. (X. K. V. .) It is the popular impression that the much spoken wor' news means "that which is gathered from North, East, West and South" and that the word was manufactured fiom the initial letters of the four car dinal points, X. E.-W. S. Taking that into considera tion, what is a newspaper but a paper on current history? If one should read an essay on the jiast history of England every day for a period of several years, at the end of that time he would Le a most excellent scholar in English History. He would not only know England's past, but could judge under standingly her present state and predict her probable future. What a learned historian that boy would be who from the age of fifteen to twenty would read and store up in hi j mind the solid reading matter contained in one of our best ne. sp ipers. At the end of that time he w ould be master of such a wide and varied knowledge that, the events of the past decade at his command, he would be enabled to peer through every deed that the press rendered public proper ty and see the motive for it, the effects naturally consequent upon it and so be such a judge of affairs that his friendship would be a prize worth fighting for and his counsel words of gold. Yet it would be a matter of less than an hour's work each day. Is it not worth the trial? Let every boy and girl who reads this, make it a point to read at least one good weekly newspa per throughout the next year, and at the end of that time take an inventory of the mental stock on hand. It will be surprising what the profit will be in one ycr. If you haven t a paper already, sub scribe for one. It will be an out lay of a dollar or so and it will pay a per cent, on the dollar that will astonish you. rew appreciate a newspaper at its true value. If every reader would read his paper with a conscientious desire to become well-informed in the history of the times, the newspaper would become a much greater educa tional factor in the country. The trouble is that too many read just to catch the drift of things, just to keep "in" sufficiently to avoid being out when topics of current interest arc introduced in conversation. To be sure, in this fast age there is not time to read and pon der over every page of a daily newspaper. Tnen take a good weekly.
