DAVID MOSS, ATTORNEY.
I hud nfler it severe struggle with poverty
caught at tlio skirts of tho legal profession.
V sign with gilt letters, 'David Moss, Attor
ney and Solicitor at Law,' was tucked on my
ollico door 011 Loui-iana avenue. Within
few ditsty books, an empty desk and 11 di
lapidated anil chair, proclaimed my legal
status. I had waited patiently for criminal
and perplexed debtors lu rush in and seek
my advice, but tncy did not rush well; hope
deferred had almost made my heart sick.
On the morning of December lilst, 187:5, I
sat dUcnnsolatcly in my ollice,with my over
coat buttoned up lo my chin, said overcoat
aiisvveiing in lien of lire, and look n pros
pective glauco at my nflUirx. My finances
stood two to five, that is n live cent nickel
to a two cent copper. Tho fivo cents would
buy :t glass o( beer and tho two cents a
pretzel. 1 binilcd at my anticipated happi
ness, mid look an inventory of my ward
robe. Liko their owner, my coat and pants
had evidently seen better days, for, although
rtity and threadbare, they showed traces of
their original color and texture. I com
menced tu ruminate on my condition nnd
achieve plans for tho future. Hut all I could
bring to aid were tho words of Iloraco Gree
ley, 'Go West,' and 'you are n liar.' I know
I was 11 liar techie.illy speaking, because my
sign proclaimed mo to bo an attorney and
solicitor at law, and yet I had not had n
single cnio to plead beforo tho bar, although
I was nominally a member. To go west was
to my fancy a literal burial of all my 'splen
did possibilities ' I knew I possessed (what
young man is there that docs not think the
same?) genius tiiat would astonish the world
if it could only find an outlet. Just as 1
arrived at this point in my reflections, tho
door of my ollico swung softly on its hinges,
ami a man clo-ely mulllcd in winter apparel
stood by my side.
'Arc you n lawyer, sir?' ho said, with a
(juestioning glance in ids steel gray eyes.
'That is my business,' I returned, coolcy
straightening myself to tho full height or
my fivo feetsix.
Ho smiled at my manner, slipped a fivo
dollar noto In my hand, mid said blandly, 'I
have tome for advice.'
This was coming to tho point. I thawed
instantly and asked mv client to bo
seated.
, Ho was 11 middlo aged man, tall and
sinewy with black hair, sparsely mixed with
gray. lis dress and manner proclaimed
him 11 man of wealth. I noticed this ns ho
slowly seated himself:
'Suppose,' said he, 'you had an only
daughtcr.aud sho was obstinately determined
on marrying u niiiu that yon dispiscd,u man
whom you knew lo bo 11 villain, but had no
means of proving it.'
'Is your daughter of ago ?' I naked.
'1 did not say sho was my daughter,young
111-111 : you jump nt conclusions j no nolo
invyer accepts anything without proof.'
I felt that I had suddenly changed places
with him tlint ho win tho attorney and I
was tho client, but taking 110 notice of his
words, I repeated tho ipiesliou with a varia
tion. 'Is sho of ago?'
'Yes,' was tho reply, 'oho is of ago and as
obstinate as a mule.'
Disinherit her,' 1 suggested,
Oh,' said he, with a shrug of his shoulder,
'I have tried everything ; I havo told her she
shouldn't havo a penny of my money ; 1
havo kept her on bread and water j hired
governesses to watch her, lu fact, 1 have lclt
no stono unturned.'
'Thcro remain only two methods;
iucarccrnlo her lu nil insane asylum, or put
detectives on his track and convict him of
some iguoblo action, I said.
'Your last suggestion is tho best, lint
oven if I should convict him of murder she
would imagine that it was n conspiracy on
my part, uud marry him at tho gallows,'
ho remained iu deep thought for sove rid
minutes and then tald; 'Young man I don't

would you llko to chuugo It for something

parting day, the train from lUlllinoro came
lulling in. It was Christmas eve, and the
busy crowds wcro hurrying to their homes.
Two days before, David Moss, attorney
and colicit.il', -eedy nnd threadbare, had left
for llalii'.Hire. This evening the tricii

gentleman It is astonishing how one's dress
increases their self respect. Xo doubt

his son, 'Costly thy habit as thy purso can

What a chango it had mado in my feel
ings I A few days ago so despondent, now
buoyed up by hopo and my good looks. I
felt as happy as a king. My mirror had
told 1:10 tho samo flattering talo which it
tells many a belle. My ambrosial looks
were curled in style, my blonde moustache
was waxed to perfection, my bltio eyes
sparkled, and my mannerly form was im
mersed iu an elegant suit of broadcloth. lie
sides all this, I had cultivated a becoming
pallor, for I was to enact the rolo of invalid.
A carriage was waiting, I was assi sled into
it by the obsequious footmen, and sank
languidly 011 tho cushions. I was driven to
an elegant mansion, met by tho host and al
most carried lo a luxurious chamber. I was
too fatigued to go down stairs that evening.
but tho amount of supper which 1 contrived
to swallow, and tlio w ino it took to wash it
down, would have aitonishcd a restaurateur.
In tho morning my head was so bad that
I took my colleo iu bed. At dinner timol
managed with my assista nee, to get to the
dining-room, and for tho first time met Kate
Marston, tho young lady whose dearest
hopes I had come to overthrow. After tho
first glauco I began to think that perhaps-
old Mr. Matston had mado a grave mistake
in bringing mo there. I never had an ideal;
my busy life in collcgo and my money to
live at all afterwards had allowed 110 margin
for dreams. I!tit 1 am sure Kalo Marston
embodied nil the elements which have com
posed my ideal if I had poscsscd one.
She was small, a perfect brunette with
blue eyes, which might sparkle with love or
hate, red lips and checks, lustrous black
hair, white, shapely teeth, and, in fact,
everything which is charming in woman.
She treated 1110 very kindly, very gently, be
catwe I, her father's friend was an in valid,
If I had been apparently strong and hearty
sho would have suspected her father s 1110

, Ho had brought several eligible young men
to his house but Kate had sent them about
their business in anything but a conipli
nientary style. All the ladies who had been
hired as companions she won over lo her
disobedience, and vveto di-chargid in dis
grace. It was plauiie 1 that while drawing
on her sympathy, uud seeking kindly ollices
from her, 1 should watch over ncr, keep with
her as much as I could, and excito if po-si
hie, the jealousy of her lover, and tempt
him to sumo desperate action.
I felt im mediately that it would bo
plea-ant task, although had I been as I ap
pealed, a voting man of lauded estate, I
would havo entered into it with greater zeal
Por a few days everything progressed
smoothly, Kato was assiduous in her at
tcntions to my comfort. I would lie on the
sofa and slio would read to 1110 iu her dulcet
tones. I enjoyed this heartily, for she was
really a good reader, and Tennyson or lly
rou from her lips was tho bvvectest musiu lo
me.
When my head ached, and I often had
severe spells witli my head, how tenderly
she bathed it with those deft fingers of hers.
I would have been content to live and bask
in the sunshine of her presenco forever, but
observation showed 1110 that titero was a
necessity for action. Sometimes ICate would
shut herself up iu her room for an hour or
two. Meanwhile, I, on whom timo always
hung heavily when sho was absent, placed
my chair by tho window to view passers by.
Invariably I saw a man pacing up and down,
iu front of the house, llo was of medium
sie, light complexion, blue grey eyes, long
side whiskers, a mixture between flaxen and
brown. Most people would havo called him
rather good looking, but a close observer of
character would havo noted the strangely
bhaped forehead and tho gradual sinking in
of tho features at tho bridge of tho nose. I
wuii not long in finding out this was Kate's
lover, and I took a strango delight in watch
ing him. I caught him looking at 1110 with
a malignant scowl. With Kale's re-appear-anco
ho always disappeared. 1 was certain
that they were keeping up a correspondence,
but I never nwv her receive any letters. 1
began to oncoct plans to prevent this. I
begged her as a great favor to help mo in
writing some letters which was a necessity
for 1110 to write, but which, on account of my
weakness, I was unable to do. I kept her
for long hours writing letters about all sorts
of things, to imaginary people, which, of
cotiise, were novcr mailed, I havobomoof
them yet carefully put away in my writing
desk. Then wo took long rides, and bhc,
believing 1110 to bo a stranger iu the city,
pointed oul objects of interest,and answered
the numerous questions which I clioso to
ask. I think at thoso times sho must havo
thought me very stupid, and possessed of
very little information, but sho always
answered mo with the samo unwearying
kindness.
Willi all tho firmness and, as her father
termed it, obstinacy .hero was always in her
that gentleness and sweetness which
characterizes the truo lady. I only sighed
that blie had not bestowed her love 011 some
worthy object myself, for instance. Luckily
I met 110 one that knew 1110 us David Moss,
attorney and solicitor; but wo nearly always
passed somewhere In our rides her lover,
whom her father told mu was Walter llev
euux. At btieh limes Kate would bow and smile,
while ho returned a haughty nod, which
biought frighteuedggrioved looks into Kate's
fair face. Then an insane desire would
seize. 1110 to jump out of tho can logo nud

1 had been at Mawlon's homo nearly a
niontli,aiid been treated us an honored guest
by both mnstcr and mistress. Tho chango
iu my 11 to seemed almost as wonderful ns
the miracles wrought by Alhidln's lump. I
came slowly down stairs on this morning, a
little earlier than ii-tial, and entered the
dining-room. I had expected to find no ono
there, nud was surprised to bco Kato kneel
ing beforo her pet canary, wcciilujr bitterly,
and between her sobs saying, "good-bye,
sweet-heart," for so sho called tliu bird. 1
entered unobserved, no 1 slipped out again
and closed the door softly after me, de
termined tu closely watch affairs.
I camo down Into tu breakfast, and found
her father already seated. There were no
traces of agitation about Kate; there deemed
to be an added sweetness and gentleness in
her manner to her father. 1 complained of
having passed a bad night and of feeling
badly. I kept my room most of the dav,
but within its precincts I raced furiously.
To let her escape with that scoundrcl,sccmcd
to mo would be to let tho lat of my life de
part. Xo, I was determined to prevent it
even at tho cost of my life.
1 he day wore away in slow, interminable
length. I did not tell her father what I
suspected, but prepared to keep my vigil
none. Uy leu o clock tho house was silent.
I knew that Kato had gone to her room, for
I had heard light steps on the stairs somo
time before ; I lowered the gas, opened my
door silently, and prepared lo listen to every
sound.
The town clock sttuck eleven, twelve,
and one, before my patience was rewarded
then tho creaking of the stairs drew my at
tention. Looking out I saw in tlio dim light
a dark robed figure stealing down, then the
clicking of tlio locks in a moment. I
followed out through tho gate, down lo the
cud of the square, wheie .1 closely covered
carriage was awaiting. I arrived jttst in
timo to hear alter I'cvcaux's voice say
ing .
'Kato darling, I knew you would come,'
when I took her by the arm nnd said :
'Kale Miss Marton, you should not do
this mad thing, licturn with 1110 to your
father.'
Then lteveaux's voice iu a passion cried :
'How dare you interfere ? 1 will teach you
better manners !'
lieforc I could avoid it ho raised a pistol
and fired.
I felt a dull pain in my side; then came a
blank.
CIIAPTnil in.
When I returned to consciousness 1 heard
voices faintly whispering : 'He cannot last
much longer, poor fellow.'
Iliad .1 dim idea that tho room was full
of people, but I recognized no one; then
came another blank.
I hud been badly wounded in the side, nl
most fatal, but careful nursing nnd a good
constitution triumphed. After returning
to consciousness tho second time I mended
rapidly. I think what helped 1110 nio-t was
Kale's sweet face bending over mo with such
:v woild of tenderness in it. I convalesced
rapidly, and Kate and I soon resumed our
rides. One morning Mr. Marston summoned
me into his library and told me that I must
appear as a witness against llcvcaux. This
I did not wish to do, lor fear that it might
complicate Kate ; but Mr. Marston insisted,
and the trial le-ulted in Mr. llcvcaux being
sent to the penitentiary for three years.
Kate manifested no feeling ; her lover
seemed to have yielded lo the circum
stances. Willi Mr. I'eveaux's sentence iny work
was done. I had gained the end for which l
was employed. I told Mr. Maislon this and
thanked him l'or his kindness.
'Do you really wish to leave us, my
boy?'
'X'o,' I replied ; 'but I havo completed my
mission, and now there is nothing left for me
to do. In leaving you I leave everything,
and go forth into the world moro desolate
than I came.'
Mint why not stay? I . havo property
which needs care. I can find plenty for you
to do.
'Can't you sco that it is madness for me to
stay ? I have only relieved you from one
tiotible to drag you into another. I came
here heart whole ; I shall go away leaving
my heart behind me. I would not havo been
persiimpliious enough to have told you this
had you not forced mo to explain ; us you
sco it is, tlio only course open to me is to go,
You havo only e-caped one danger to cu
counter another.'
What a kind, benignant expression camo
into the old gentleman's eyes as ho re
plied:
'If Kate loves you,"yoti can marry her. I
only ak in my sou-iu-law sterling wutlli,
and I believe that you possess that. I care
not for money, lauded estates, or whether
blue blood or plebiati flows iu your veins.'
'It is wortli makes tho man
Tho want of it tlio fellow.'
I lost no time in finding Kate, and telling
her tho old, old story ; when I had lirished
she looked up and said. 'Can you trust me
now. 1 have been so very, very wicked.'
Trust her ! Xo angel from heaven would
have seemed purer, and so I told her.

Another fact that seems lo witness to his
epileptic condition is contitutod by the ha
bitual lying that marked tho Inter and best
known part of bin career. Ono liulnneo
mu-t illustrate the mnnv. I shall tnko it j
that the general render Is familiar with that
remarkable analytic paper In which lie do
scribes the composition of "Tho llavcn,"and
the plan upon which it was constructed.
American literature contains nothing clever
er in Us way, and its cleverness is manifold
enlian.ed when it is understood that it is
simply and unequivocally Action, ns tlio ac
tual circumstances under which tho poem
was written conclusively show.
Poe then occupied a cottage at Eordham
a kind of poet's noil: just ogt of hearing
of tho busy hum of tho city. lie had walk
ed nil tho way from X'cvv York that after
noon, and, having taken a cup of tea, went
out in tho evening and walked about for nn
hour or more. His beloved Virginia was
sick almost to death ; ho was w ithotit money
to procure tho necessary medicines. He
was out until about ten o'clock. When ho
went in hf. sat down nt his writing table mid
dashed oil' "Tho Haven." Ifo submitted it
to Mrs. dentin for her consideration on the
same night, and it was printed substantially
as it was wiittcn. '
This account of the origin of (lie poem
was communicated to mo in the fall of lSilo,
by a gentleman who professed f.i bo indebted
to Mm Clcmm fir tho facts as ho stated
thorn ; and in the courso of a saunter in tho
South in tho summer of 1SG7, 1 took occa
sion to verify Ids story by nn interview with
that aged lady. Let mo now drop Mrs.
denim's version to consider another, resting
upon tho testimony of Colonel Du Sidle, who
was intimate with Poo nt litis period, and
concurred in by other literary contempoia
rics who Used lo meet him ol a midday for a
budget of gossip and a glass of alo at Sandy
Welch's cellar in Ann stieet.
I)u Solfe says that the poem was produced
stanza by stanza nl small intervals and sub
mitted by Poo piecemeal to tho criticism nnd
emendation of his intimates, who suggested
various alterations and substitutions. Poe
adopted many ol them. Du &0II0 quotes
particular instances of phrases that were in
corporated at his suggestion, and thus "The
Haven" was a kind of joint-stock affair in
which many minds held small shares of in
tellectual capital. At length, when the last
stone had been placed in position and passed
upon, the structure was voted complete.
Tho reconciliation of these cotitlietiiig ver
sions lies, possibly, in tho hypothesis that ho
wrote tlio poem, substantially, as staled 1
Mrs, Clcmm, nnd afterward, with llio shrewd
idea 01 stimulating expectation a utile, or
by way of subtle and delicate flattery, sub
mitted il lu his friends stanza by stanza,
adopting such emendations and substitutions
of phrase as tickled his ear or suited his fan
cy
Such alterations would scarcely .lli'ect
the general tenor of the text, lis Airs. Clcmm
lirat heard it, aucl, considering ttio length of
tho poem, appear to have been vcrv few and
of small importance, granting all that Colo-
uel Du Solio claims, liesidcs, it was like
him to amu-o himself in this way, hoaxing
his friends and then laughing in his sleeve
at them.

Women arc more apt to keep old letters than

letters of all'cclion. This is an uncertain
world; hearts change, men and women die,
but tho seiiselees ink and paper, if not given
to tho flames, remain to confront, in the
most unexpected moment, thoso who have
used them. A letter full of affection, or still
better, of love, seems so much a pait of the
