Lines on the death of Monroe Crots:ey.
BV A. D. TA11.01:
Hark ! what music greets my ear I
And what forms in the distance are so bright I
'Tis the angels, they are coming near,
With their harps and robes of white.
Nearer, nearer, they come ; 'tie for me,
The music sounds so sweet and clear ;
I long to go and to forever be
With the Savior, for death I do not fear.
Father, motbei, why do you weep ?
"'Tis not all of death to die,"
In Heaven again we shall meet
With the Savior up on high.
Brothers, sisters, fare you well!
Do not mourn for me ;
I soon shall break this deathly spell
And my soul will be at liberty.
'Tis•hard for me to die,
But my Father calls and I must go
To meet Him in the upper sky,
And sing Ills praise forevermore.
When I in my grave am laid,
And you the path of life do tread,
Remember who t'was that said
"Be prepared to meet your God."
The death messenger is here;
I feel his cold and icy hand ;
So I must leave you all so dear ;
But hope to meet you in the pronaized land.
Farewell loved ones ; I'm going home to Heaven,
The angels have come to bear me up on high,
Thank God, my sins they are forgiven,
I am not afraid to die.

Edgar Allen Poe.
OFFICIAL MEMORANDA BY HIS PHYSI
CIAN OF THE POET'S LAST HOURS
"REST, SHORE, No MORE !"
The New York Herald, in sketching the
history and progress of the Poe 111onu
ment, which was recently, dedicated,
prints an interesting narrative of the poet's
death, furnished by Dr. J. J. Moran, who
was connected at that time-with the hos
pital in Baltimore, and who attended Poe
to the last. These particulars are now
first made known, and in view of the mys
tery which has surrounded the whole sub
ject, will attract great attention. Dr.
Moran says :
Edgar A. Poe was brought in a hack to
the Washington University Hospital, sit
uated on Broadway, north of Baltimore
street, Baltimore city, on the 7th of Octo
ber, 1849. He had been found lying
upon a bench in front of a large mercan
tile house of Light street wharf. He was
in a stupor, whether from liquor or opium
was not at first known. A gentleman pass
ing along the pavement noticed several
persons collected about the spot, and, look
ing in through the crowd, was suddenly
impressed with the face, and on close in
spection recognized the poet. -He had
been there since early dawn.
A policeman sent for a hack and di
rected the hackman to convey him to the
above named hospital, which was in my
charge, being the resident physician and
living in the dwelling attached thereto.—
It was about ten o'clock in the forenoon
when lie entered the house. He was im
mediately placed in a private room, care
fully undressed, and critically examined.
I had not then any knowledge of his pre
vious condition or what where his habits.
There was no smell of liquor upon his per
son or breath. There was no delirium or
tremor. His skin was pallid, with slight
nausea at the stomach and a strong dispo
sition to sleep. Die condition was more
of a stupor. lie was sponged with luke
warm water, sinapisms applied to the feet,
thighs and abdomen, and cold applied to
the head.
I had the room darkened and he was
otherwise made as comfortable as he could
have been in hia own room at home. In
half an hour after I left him lie threw the
cover from his breast, opened his eyes and
said :
"Where am I!"
"You are in the care of your friends;"
to which be replied, "My best friend
would be the man who would blow my
brains out with a pistol."
"Try and be quiet, Mr Poe ; we will do
all - we can to make you comfortable and
relieve your distress."
"Oh, wretch that lam ! Sir, when I
behold my degradation and ruin, what I
have suffered and lost, and the sorrow and
misery I have brought upon others, I feel
that I could sink through this bed into
the lowermost abyss below, forsaken by
God and man, an outcast from society.--
Oh, God, the terrible strait lamin ! Is
there no ransom for the deathless spirit ?"
"Mr. Poe, do try and compose yourself,
and take this draught ; it will soothe and
revive you."
He reached out his hand to take the
glass, the nurse raising his head, while I
administered the cordial. lle drank it
and was laid down, closing his eyes as
though going to sleep.
He remained in this state about one
hour, when he again waked up, suddenly
opening his eyes.
I said to him—both to be of service and
to ascertain whether he would be PO in.
dined—
"Will you take a lithe toddy ?"
Ile opened wide his large eyes and
fixed them steadily upon me, and with
such anguish in them that I looked from
him to the wall beyond the bed. He
said .
"sir, if its potency would transport me
to the Elysian bowers of the undiscovered
spirit world I would not taste it. I would
not taste it. Of its horrors who can tell ?"
4'l must administer an opiate to give
you bleep and rest."
Then he replied
"Twin devil and spectre of crazed and
doomed mortals of earth and perdition !"
I asked, "Have you a family ?"
"No, my wife is dead, my dear Virgi•
nia; my r►other•in•law lives. Oh, how
my heart bleeds for her ! Death's dark
angel has done his work. lam so rudely
dashed upon the storm without compass
or helm. Language cannot tell the gush•
ing wave that swells, sways and sweeps
tempest-like, over me, signalling the
'larum of death. Doctor, write to my
mother, Maria Chum. Tell her Eddie
is here. No, too late! too late ! I must
lift the pall and open to you the secret
that sears the heart, and dagger-like,
pierces the soul. I was to have been
married in ten days." (Here he stopped
to weep.) _ .
"Shall I send for the lady ?" I asked,
supposing she lived in the city.
"Too late ! too late'.,,
I said, "Oh no; I will scud my carriage
immediately."
"No, write, write to both. Inform
them of my illness and death at the same
time."
"Give me their address."
"Mrs. Shelton. Norfolk, Va., and Maria
Cletnm, Lowell, Mass."
Noticing the color ruing to his fitce and
the blood vessels filling up on his temples,
and the eyes becoming congestive and in
clining upward, I asked no more ques
tions, but ordered ice to his head and heat
to his extremities, repeating the cordial
with an anodyne, and waited with the
nurse outside the door for fifteen minutes.
No further change, except that his pulse
had increased in frequency and was feeble
and flying.
I had sent for his cousin, Nelson Poe,
having learned he was his relative, and a
family named Reynolds, who lived in the
neighborhood of the hospital. These
were the only persons whose names I had
heard him mention living in the city.—
Mr. W. N. Poe came, and the female mem
bers of Mr. Reynolds' family. He con
tinued in an unconscious state for more
than an hour. On again examining his
pulse I found it was feeble, sharp and ir
regular-120 to the minute. My partic
ular friend. Professor John. C. S. Mon
kur, came in at the moment. As soon as
he fixed his eyes upon him lie said, "Dec
tor, he's dying."
I replied, "Yes, I fear it is all over."
He carefully examined the case, and,
being in possession of all the facts in re
gard to the a g ents employed and symp
toms presented—which were carefully
noted down in a record book of the hos
pital—he gave it as his opinion, which I
was fully prepared ti corroborate, that
Poe's death was caused by excessive ner
vous excitement from exposure, followed
by loss of nervous power. The most ap
propriate name for his disease is encepha
litis.
The doctor advised free use of wine,
beef tea, gentle cordials, while using ice to
the head. The patient raised his hand to
his mouth, as though he wanted a drink.
A small lump of ice was placed upon his
tongue. I then give him a mouthful of
water to see whether he could swallow
freely. He took it swallowing with sonic
difficulty ; but he drank a wine glass full
of beef tea. He seemed to revive, and
opened his eyes, fixing his gaze upon the
transom over his room door. Ile kept
them unmoved f,r more than a minute.—
He was lying directly opposite this trait-
SOUL lle seemed trying to articulate, but
was inaudible. At last he spoke feebly.
"Doctor, it's all over. Write 'Eddie is
no more.' "
"Mr. Poe, you are near your end. Have
you any wish or word fin. friends ?"
He said, "Evermore!"
• I continued : "Look to your Saviour.
There is mercy for you and for all man
kind. 'God is love.' "
"The arched heavens," he rejoined,
"encompass me, and God and His decrees
legibly written upon the frontlets of every
created human being ; and demons incar
nate, their goal will be the seething waves
of black despair."
"Hope and trust him."
"Self-murderer, there is a gulf beyond
the stream. Where is the buoy, life-boat,
ship of fire, sea of brass? Rest, shore, no
more 1"
Ilis eyes turned upward, and with one
general tremor all was over.
This occurred about twelve o'clock, mid.
night, 7th October, 1849.
I had in the meantime learned from him
and afterwards from the porter at the hotel
on Pratt street, then Bradshaw's, now
called the Maltby llouse, that he arrived
there on the evening of the sth ; was seen
to go to the depot to take the cars for
Philadelphia, and that the conductor, on
going through the cars for tickets, found
him lying in the baggage car insensible.
He took him as far as Havre do Grace,
where the cars then passed each other, or
as f►r as Wilmington, I forget which, and
placed him in a train coming to Baltimore,
He had left his trunk at the hotel in BA",
ticnore.
Arriving on the evening train he was
not seen by any person abour, the hotel
when he returned to the city, The pre
sumption is he wandered about during
the night, and found a bench some time
before morning to sleep upon on Light
street wharf, where he was seen and taken
from about nine o'clock the next morning.
After death he was washed and care
fully laid out, dressed in a suit of black
cloth and placed in state in the large ro
tunda of the college building, where hun
dreds of friends and admirers came in
crowds to pay their last tribute of respect
to the deceased. Not less than fifty ladies
were each furnished, at their earnest sl
licitation, with a small lock of his beauti•
ful black hair.
Ile was a handsome man, elegantly
dressed, and but few could claim advant
age over him in this regard. iiis head
was exquisitely modelled, forehead very
prominent and largely developed, its
measurement corresponding to that of the
great Napoleon Bonaparte, a cast of which
was in my possession. His skin was fair,
hair raven black and inclined to curl, teeth
perfectly good, and eyes grey. His weight
was about 145 pounds, and heighth five
feet ten inche . s. His hands were as deli
cate as a lady's. Ilia shroud was made
by my wife std a few of her lady friends,
who considered it an honor to contribute
in any wise to the distinguished poet.

Look on the Bright Side.
Look on the bright side of things ; it
is the right side. The times may be hard,
but it will make them no eaisier to wear a
gloomy face. It is the sunshine and not
the cloud that makes the flower. Full
one•half our ills exist only in imagination.
There is always that before or around ns
that should cheer and fill the heart with
warmth. The sky is blue ten times where
it is black once. You have troubles, it
may be; so have others. None are free
from them, and perhaps it is well that
none should be. They give sinew rind
tone to life, fortitude and courage to man.
That would be a dull sea, and the sailor
would never become skilled, where there
was nothing to disturb the ocean. It is
the duty of every one to extract all the
happiness and enjoyment he can without
and within him. Above all, he should
look on the bright side of things What
though appearances do look a little dark
—the lane will turn and the night end in
broad day. In the long run, and very
often in the short, the great balance of life
will right itself. Men arc not made to
hang down either head or hands, and those
who do, only show that they are departing
from the path of true common sense and
right. There is more virtue in one sun
beam than in a whole hemisphere of clouds
and gloom. Therefore look on the bright
side of things. Cultivate what is warm
and genial, and shun what is cold and re
, pulsive, dark and morose.
The Turkish Bath.
Mrs. Burton. in her Inner Life ~f
Syria. Palestine. and the Holy fiand."
gives the followin: , description of a Turk
ish bath : Firstly, we enter a large hall,
lit by a domed skylight, with a huge mar
ble tank in the centre and f;itar little foun
tains spurting in the corners. All around
are raised divans, covered with cushions.
Here we wrap ourselves in silk and woolen
sheets, and towels aronnil the head. We
shall now pass through six marble rooms,
all with domed skylights, nimble floors,
and a gutter cut in them to let the water
off, and surrounded by large stone basins
and troughs, each with its tap of hot and
cold water. The first is the cold room,
the next warm, the third warmer, and so
on until you come to the sudariNne. of
about 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Here the
operation commences. Firstly, they lather
your head and Bair thoroughly. Then
you are washed over, first with flanael and
soap, if you like ; secondly, with a brush
and soap; thirdly, with /If and soap. Li f
is the fibre of the palm frond soaked in
water, sun-dried, and pulled out. It looks
like a large sponge of horse-hair, and it
rubs as hard as a clothes brush. You are
douched from head to foot, between each
of these operations, with tubs of hot water
thrown at you and over you. You are
then shampooed with fresh Layers of soap,
and douched again. By this time you are
beginning to feel rather exhausted. They
then cover your face and neck and arms
with a sort of powder which looks like
meal, and mare you through the other
rooms, each warmer than the lr.st, till you
are turned into the hottest. If it is steam,
150 degrees will content you; if in dry
heat, you can without practice bear 300
degrees. Your stay in the ralidfrrixne
lasts about twenty minutes. They give
you iced sherbet, and tie towels dipped in
cold water round yoor head, which pre
vents your fainting, and makes you per
spire more freely. The white powder
passes away of itself. They scrub your
feet with a hard, roi'gh stone ; indeed, it
appears to me that eae's first skin is wholly
peeled off. Now pu move back again
through all the lama, but gradually,
staying ten minutes in each. You are
again douched with water and shampooed
with towels as you pass from heat to c bid.
The most rigorous IX all when you arrive
at the latter, when pails of cold water arc
thrown at your back and poured down the
spine. In the last room the final sham
pooing is done with towels. We now re
turn to the ball were we first undressed,
enveloped in silk and woolen cloths, and
we incline on divans. It is ail strewed
with flowers, incense is burned about us,
cups of very but and rather bitter coffee
are handed to us, and naari„silea are placed
in our mouths. A woman advanee.s and
kneads you like bread ; you fill asleep
during the process, which has almost the
effect of creme:ism. When you awake
you will find music and dancing, the girls
chasing one another, eating sweetmanata,
cracking nuts, and enjoying all sorts of
fun. Moslem women go through much
more than the above perforiaanee, ea
pecially in the matter of being honea'd
and having their eyebrows plucked. The
best time for the bath is with a wedding
party preparing a bride. One feels very
light after those baths, and the skin is

Th 3 Father's Duty.
We estimate a mother's importance in
her family, as high as any one can ; and
yet we do not believe that she monopolizes
all the qualities needed in the ;neat work
of training up human beings. famil
iarity with her children places her in some
respects at a disadvantage fur the exercise
of wholesome authority. The wise father
will not iudeed take the reins of the final
ly government fr,tu h i s wife ; but he will
make his children feat that her Lrrntle
sway is sustained by a firm aiol sea y
band ; that behind their in ither's tender
heart steads a cool judgment. and 3 will
stronger than their own, and that they
cannot impose upon the one Lor resist the
other. But if he would be truly. he father
of his family. he must not be a stranger
to them. It will answer no purpose for
him to come once in a while to meet some
great emergency, and awe down rebellion
by hard authority. He must be the com
panion, the friend of his children. S:rong,
natural love must be the base of beneficial
discipline.
But this is also, we had almost said,
equally necessary fur the father himself.
Nothing keeps the heart so fresh and
young, saves it from bitterness an I corro
sion through the circa and conflicts and
disappointments 01 life, as the dilly enjoy
ment of a happy home. A man of business,
or a scholar, who thus allows himself time
fur relaxation, and for the play of ilomestie
affections, will in the course of years have
accomplished more, with less wear of mind
and body, than one who has been all the
time on the stretch, seeking "to catch the
nearest way" to wealth or aoy other object
of personal or public good.
Tallow Dips.
Seventy years ago, when gas and kero.
sene were not, and wax candies were an
extravagance only on state occasions,
even by the wealthy, the tallow dip was
an article or necessity, and "candle dip
day" was as certain of occurrence as Christ
mas, though, perhaps, even less welcome
than the equally certain annual Vor. Day.
Fancy an immense kitchen with before
mentioned fireplace in the center of one
side. Over the blaze of bac!flog and fore
stick, and something like half a cord
of - eight-Exit wood" are swinging the
iron cranes laden with great kettles of
melting tallow. On opposite side of the
kitchen two long poles ahoet two feet
apart, are supported at their extremities
upon the seats of chairs. Beside the piles
other great kettles containing melted tal
low potted on the top of hot water. Arrow
the poles are the slender candle 1044, from
which depend ranks upon ranks of candle

lessly repeating the slow proems of dip
ping into the kettles of melting tallow and
hanging them to cool, the wicks take en

sign, for the more tallow the brighter the
light. When done, the ranks ef esmilee,
