POETRY.
From the American Revieiv
The Raven.
fit EDO•II A.•ros
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered,
weak and weary,
'Over many a quaint mutl curious volume of for
gotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there
came a tapping,
As of some one gentlefrapping, rapping, at my
chamber door.
"'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my
chamber door—
Only this and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak
December,
And each separate dying,ember wrought its ghost
upon the floor,
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had tried ,
to borrow
From my lxioks surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the
lost Lenore— • 4
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels
• name Lenore—
. Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertainirustling of each pur
ple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors nev
er felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart,
stood repeating,
" 'Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my cham
ber door;---
Some late visiter entreating entrance at my cham
ber door ;--
This it is ,. andnothing
Presently my soul grew atrongerillesitating then
no longer, .
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgii-eness
I implore;
But the fact is,.l was napping, and so gentlY you
came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my
- chamber door,
'That Tscarce was sure I he - ardfoU":— . .herc I open
ed wide the door , •
Darkness there and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there
wonderirig, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams 'rth mortal ever dared
• to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness
gave no token, . - ----- And the only word there s poken was the whisper.
ed word "Lenore !"
Then I whispered, and an echo murmured back
the word-"Lencire."
Merely thin and nothing more.
. Then into the chamber turning, all my soul with
in me burning,
Soon I heard again a • tapping iothewhat louder
than before;
"Surely," said 1., "surely that is something at my
window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery
explore
Let my heart be still a moment and this myStery
explore :
'Tis the. wind, and nothing more."
Open here I flung the shutter, when, With Many a
flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly
days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he ; not an instant
stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched upon my
chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Felicia just above my cham
ber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into
smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum ,of the counte
nance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I
said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly, grim and ancient raven wandering from
the Nightly shore— ' •
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's
Pluthiiian shore I'
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore!" •
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear dis
course so plainly, .
Tiro' its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human
being
Ever yet was bleised with seeing bird above his
. chamber door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his
chamber door,
With such a name as "Neverrnere."
But the raven, sitting lonely on.the placid bust,
spoke only
That one word, as if his Soul in that one Word he
did outpour. -
Nothing further then he uttered---nOt a feather
then he fluttered—
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends
have flown befoie—
:On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have
flown before."
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly
spoken,. •
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only
stock and store,
Caught from some unlucky master whom unmer
ciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster—so, when. Hope

Stern I)espair returned instead of the sweet Hope
he dared adjure—

AI.ISCELLANEOITS.
From the New York Knickerbocker
War and Duelling ,
A correspondent wlio is kind enough to
speak in terms of commendation of the
few observations upon war which We ven
tured to offer in a recent notice of Mr.
Sumner's excellent oration on "The True
Grandeur of Nations,". among other. co
roborative remark's advances the foll Owing:
"We may safely calcutate," he writes,
"that the last great sweeping wars in which
Europe was engaged by Napoleon, cost
the human race three millionS of victims.
The narratives of theie buteheries spread
over every page of historii, are the Trading
of our schools, and public and private li
braries ; while the pages which record ne
gotiation and legislative procedure, and the
progress of the arts, and the extension of
the boundaries of human knowledge, are
hurried over, as dull and tiresome reading;
the eye of the reader brightens, and his in
terest warms, the moment the story re
turns to the narrative of battles. Strange
infatuation ! Melancholy proof of a phys
ical and animal education! Many painful
reflections were raised in my mind, by
witnessing the impressions of the people
where I happened to sojourn; at the time a
fatal duel occurred. A young man of my
particular acquaintance had been called out
by a practised duellist, and had been se
verely wounded. After some weeks,
which were required for Ins recovery, the
young man repaired to the battle-ground a
gain. His cool and practised antagonist shot
him to tile heart ; and then ran and squared
hiinselfin:Chesterfieldfieldian attitudes be
fore. the expiring sufferer, embracing him,
as he weltered in his blood, and begging
his forgiveness fcir what he had done.--
when this fact was related, it was generally
viewed by the community as a circumstance
Most honorable to the slayer, as •evinCinif
his possession, along: with perfect intrepid
ity' and . coolniss, of the most accomplished
traits of gentlemanly manners; -• St i tch was
the general impression, against which it
was in vain to contend. To me, the • tat ,
ter act was tinforgiveable, more *diabolical,
a thousand times more wanton and outra
geous than the shot. In the one case, there
was • excitement, danger, revenge. The
other was cool, wanton, sarcastic outrage,
and dissembling exultation of a fiend. I
give the following record of a duel, at once
as a powerful comment 'upon this horrible
custom, and for the forcible and impressive
manner in which it is related, it is only ne
cessary to premise, that the duel is . stated
to have been occasioned by a dispute com
menced jestingly, which of the two had the
fairest claims to be considered the elected
favorite of a country belle.
"Captain," said Mr. Trevor, firmly, ex
tending his right hand, with his glove half
drawn on. The Captain turned suddenly
towards him, with a furious seowl, "I am
told you are a dead shot, eh?"
"Well, sir, what of that?" inquired .the
Captain, haughtily, and with some curios-'
ity in his countenance.
"You know I am short-sighted, blind as
a beetle, and not very well versed in shoot-'
ing matters." ,
Every one present started, and looked
with surpriie and displeasure.
'Why what do you mean by all this ?'
quired the Captain with a contemptuous
sneer.
"Ohl merely that ive ought not to fight!
on unequal terms ; do you think, my good
Sir, that I will stand to be shot, without
havingli chalice of returning the favor? I
have to say, therefore,-that since thitiquar-;,
rel is of iotir_ own seeking, shall insist in •

our fighting breast to breast, and muzzle,
to muzzle across a table. Yes, he contin
ued, elevating his voice, nearly to a shout,
We will go down to hell together! That's
some consolation."
"Infamous! monster!" was echoed from
all present. They. said. they would
_not
hear of such a thing; they would not stand
by to sec such. butchery. Eight or, ten
left the room abruptly, and did not return.
The Captain made no reply to Trevor's
proposal, but was conversing anxiously
with his friendA.
"Now, Sir', who is the coward ?" in
quired Trevor, sarcastically.
"A few moments will show," replied the
Captain, stepping forward with no sign of
agitation, except a countenance of an ashy
hue; "for I accede to.your terms, ruffianly
and murderous as they are ; and may the
curse of a ruined house overwhelm you
and your family forever ?" faltered the
Captain, who saw of course that certain
death was preparing for both. The prep
arations were soon made, and thercOnsist
ed, by mutual agreement of the seconds, in
loading the pistols with blank cartridges.
As the principals were impatient, the' pis
told were placed iii the hands of each in
dead silence.
'Are you prepared, Mr. Trevor?' inquired
one of the Captain's friends.. Being an
swered in the affirmative, in a moment af
ter the two principals, • pistol in hand; ap
proached each other. Though was al-'
most blinded with agitation, and in .com
mon-with those around 'me, anxious 're
ipeCting the snecbis Of the schenie of load=
ing the pistols with blank cartidges,. my
eyes were riveted on theirevery- movement . .
There , was something solemn and impres
sive in their demeanor. Though stepping
to certain death, as they supposed, there
was not the slightest symptom of terror or
agitation visible, no swaggering, no affect
ation Of a catinnesss they did not
The countenance of each was deadly pale
and damp, but not a muscle trembled.
"Who is to give us the word?" asked
the Captain, in a whisper, which, though
low, was heard all over 'the room ; "for in
this sort of affair, - if one fires a second 'be
fore the other, he is a murderer."
.At that moment a noise was heard. It
was the surgeon, who hadarrived; and now
entered breathless.
"Step out, and give
.the word at once,"
said Mr. 'Trevor, impatiently.
Both the Captain and Mr. Trevor re
turned, and shook hands, with a melanchol
y smile, and then took their places. .The
gentleman who was to give the signal then
stepped toward them, and closing his 'eyes
with his hands, said in a tremulous tone,
Raise your pistols"—the muziles were
instantly touching one another's breast—
"and When I, have counted . three,
One, two, three!"
They fired; both recoiled several paces ;
with the shock, and their friends . rushed
forward. •
• •
"Why, what is the meaning of this ?"
exclaimed both, in a breath. "Who has
dared to mock us in this way! There were
no balls in the pistols !" exclaimed Trevor,
fiercely.
The seconds explained the well intended
artifice, and were cursed by both for their
pains. It was in vain we all implored
them to be reconciled, as each had done
amply sufficient to vindicate his honor.—
Trevor ahnost gnashed his teeth'With fury.
There was something fiendish, I thought,
in the. expression of his countenance. "It
is easily remedied," said the Captain, as
his eye caught several small-swords hang,
ing in their view. He took down two,
measured them, and proffered one to his
antagonist, who clutched it eagerly, "There
can be no deception here, at any rate,"
said he.
Each put themselves in posture. We
fell back; horror-stricken at the relentless
spirit with which they seemed aniMate& I
do not know which was the better swords
man. I Only recollect seeing a rapid glancing
of their' weapons, bashing about like sparks
of tire, and a hurrying about 6 in all direc
tions, which lasted for several 'moments,
when one of them fell. It was the Cap
tain; for the strong and skilful arm of
Trevor had thrust his sword nearly up to
the hilt in the side of his antagonist. His
heart was cloven. The unfortunate young
man fell without uttering a groan. His
sword dropped from his grasp. He press
ed his right hand to his breast, and with a
quivering motion of his lips, as if struggling
to speak, expired.
"Oh ? my great God!" eqclaimed Tre
vor, in a broken and hollow tone, with a
face so blanched and horror-stricken, that it
froze my very blood to look upon him.—
“Whaf have I done? Can all this be real?”
He cotinued on his knees . ' by the side Of
his fallen antagonist, with his hind clasped
convulsively,' and his eyes glaring s upward
for several minutes. The unhappy mini
ver lingered - an exile in a foreign land live
years, and died of a broken heart.
