NT EDGAR ALLAN POE
The skies Wey.were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crisped. and sere—
The leaves they were withering and sere;
ft was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year;
It was hard by the dim lakeof Anber,
In the misty mid region of Weif---
It was down by the dank tarn of Anber,
In the ghoul-haunted woodland of 'Weir.
here once, through an' alley Titanic,
Of cypress, I roamed with my Soul—
Of
cypress, with Psyche, my Sottl. -
These were days when my heart was volcanic
As the scoriae rivers that roll—
As the lavas that restlessly roll
Their. sulphurous currents down Yaneek
In the ultimate dim& of-the pole--
That groan as they roll down Mount Yaneek -
In the realms of the boreal pole.
Our talk had been serious and sober,
But ouriboughts they were palsied and - sere—
Our memories were treacherous and sere—
For we knew not.the month was October,
And we marked not the night of the year— •
(Ab, night of all nights in the year!). •
We noted not the dim bike, of Auber--
(Though oncywe had journied down here).—
Remembered iSot the dark tarn of -tuber,
• Nor the ghould-haunted woodland of Weir.
And now, as the night was_seneseent,
And the stardials pointed to morn—
And the stardiats hinted of morn—
At the end of our path a liquescent
And nebulous lustre was born; ' -
Oat s of which a miraculous crescent
Arose'rith a duplicate horn—
Astarte's bediamonded crescent
Distinct with ita duplicate horn.
And I said—" She is warmer than Dian :
She rolls through an ether of sighs— -
,She revels in a region of sighs : •
She has seen that the tears are not dry on
These eheeks where the worm never dies,
And has come past the stars of the Lion
To point us
,the path of the skies—
To the Leaman peace of the sides—
Come - hp, in despite of the Lion,
,To shine on us with her bright eyes— -
Come up through the lair of the Lion,
With lov . e in her luminous eyes."
But Psyche, uplifting her finger, • • -
Said-" Sadly this star I nustrust—
Iler pallor I strangely mistrust:-
0, hasten !-0, let us not lingo!
0, fly!=let us 'fly!—for we must."
In terror she spoke, letting sink her •
Wings until they trained in the dust—
lu agony sobbed, letting sink her
Plumes till thy trailed in the dust-;--
Till they sorrowftilly trailed in the dust.
rePlied—" This is nothing but dreaming :
Let mg" on by this tremulous light !
Let us bathe in this crystalline light! •
Its Scbalic splendor is beaming
With, lope and in Beauty to-night:—
Seel—it flickers up the sky through the night!
Ah, we safely may trust to its gleaming,
And be sure it will lead•us might--
We safely may trust t 6 a gleaming . -
That cannot but guide us aright,
Since it Sicken up to Heaven through the night."
Thus I pacified Psyche and kissed her,
And tempted her out of her gloom—
And conquered her scruples and gloom ;
As we passed to the end of the vista;
But we stopped at the door of a tomb—
By tlic4loor of a legended tomb:
And I said—" What is written, sw'et sister,
On the door Of this legended tomb?' .
• She replied---‘, rlalume—tialume--
'Tis the vault of the lost Ulabtme !"
Then my heart it grew ashen and sober ,P
As the leaves that were crisped and sere—
..As the leaves that were withering and sere, ,
And I cried—" It was surely October - -
On this very night of last year,
That / journeyed-1 journeyed down here—
That I brought a dead burden down here—
On
this night of all nights in the year, -
Ah, what demon has tempted me here?
Well I kaow, now; this dim lake of Auber—
This mbly mid region of Weir— .
Well I know, now, this dark tarn Of Auber,
This ghoul-haunted woodland of WUr."

JOHN SMITH ABD HIS SOB JOHN.
BY CLEDIENT WEBItTER.
I Wish my hero's name was anything but
Smith=-anything. but John Smith ; Tor I
know the reader will pronounce the story I.
may relate, a fiction at first sight. Else
why, (haiarill ask,) did the writer `select for
his prominent character a name so common,
and hence so void of meaning ?' But I pru.
test on -my honor, that my solo purpose in
using a name so unpoetical, is to give the
reader a: plain, unvarnished tale of trail?,
withonfeven the semblance ofdisguise. My
hero's name - iv/7.a John Smith ; he ct•uld not
helri it, audj can% help it. •
Veryiikely some member of the skeptic
family will arise up here.and aver that plain'.
John Smith has been dead these twenty
vears. 4 He fell into the river and was
'drowned,' one will say.. "-tie was thrown
from a horse and - killed2_l'a salanothen—
`lle was hung for Murder, will-say a third';
-and He Cut his own throat in a
_fit if deS-.
pair,' will say a fourth.: Gentlemen, i know
better. John Smith and his soli John are
both alive. Read my story and tell me.then
:why 'even .4 wish to die should enter the
breast of either of them 1 -
It was a 'snug little log cabin, that of John
Smith, when he built it; and it was a de
cent place to live in when John Smith, jun
ior, was born. - But time cuts up his capers
xith almost everything, and amongst other_
things Vi - log cabins. In the-course of
years he came very near upsetting that of
John Smith. He made 'leaks' in the roof so
that John had to'get up nights, when it ruin
ed, and move his bed first to this and . then
to that corner of the room, to 'dodge the
Atreams that came pouring down upon it-
Then be pulled the batons off, and let the
snow come drifting in, in dead of winter time
between - the hewn or half hewn logs. And
then he sent a rain storm ; and the water
camepottring down thebill on the side of which
John Smith's house stood. A. smart man, in
two hours, might have urned the torrent in
adireetion.where it would have done no harFn ;
but John chose' to let it come - and do its
Worst ; the result was nearly - One-half of the
underpinning of his house was piled up 'in
the cellar. Didn't he put it back again ?
Not he. There was a grogslop within ,a
mile and a half of his house—and there Se
thol much ;:rather spend his firms; than',- in
building stone valL Idleneesi is the. parent
of vice.' I have read somewhere. Drink

Smith had no _near. neighbor, but.vile.
