Ravkn. written by Edgar Allen Poo, That
strange character, in strange moods, has left
us strange lines, nnd has journeyod away
from tho world. Whether these lines may
convey any moral or meaning, it. matters but
little, but one thing Is certain, the theme is

THE IUVEN.
Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I pondered, weak unit wearv,
Over many a quaint and curious volumo
of forgotten lore ;
While I no tded, nearly napping,
Suddenly theic came u tnpjihig,
As of some one gently rapping.
Rapping nl my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered,
'Tapping at my clumber door"
Only this and nothing more.
Ah, distinctly I remember,
It was In tho bleak December,
And each separato living ember wrought
Its ghost upon the'floor,
Eairerlv t viuhid (ho mnrrnw .
V:tinly I liatl sought to borrow

For the rare and radiant maiden
Whom the angels namo Lenore
Nnmeless here forevenuore.
And U10 silken and uncertain
Rustling of each purplo curtain,
inriueu me n:eii mo with lantnstic ter
rors never felt beloro
80 that now, t i still the heating
Of my heart, I stood repealing
km aooio visuor enirearmg
Entrance at inv Hmtnlwr ilnir
Some late visitor entreating
J'.utrance at my chamber door j
This it is and nothing more.
Presently my soul grew stronger j
Hesitating then no longer,
oir, said 1 "or nudum, truly your for-eivenc.-M
I imnlorn
But the fact is, 1 was napping.
And so gently you came rapping,
.Aim no lainiiy you came tapping,
Tannim? al mv cliamlur ilonr
That I seaieo was sure I hoard you"
iierci opened wide tlie door ;
Darkness there and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering.
Long I stood there wonderimr. I'earine.
IXitibiiug, dreaming dreams no mortals
evi'l' t'liri'd ti i itt'iMim Iw.iVu.. .
But the silence was unlirokeli, '
And the tiilllni'ttH truvit ni t..lin
And the only word there spoken.
W:iR I till ivllluniirnil r lt,i,-ir tti
This I " liispered, and an eelio
Murmured back the word, "Lenore !"
Merely this uud nothing more.
Back into tho chamber turning,
All uiy soul within me burning.
Soon again I heard a tapping, something
louder than before,
"Surely" said I, "surely that is
Something at my wiudiJw lattice ;
Let me see, then what thereat is,
And this mystery explore
Let my heai be still a moment,
And this mystery exp'ore
'Tis the wind und nothing more."
Open hero I flung the shutter,
When with many a llirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stalely It iven of the
saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisaneo inm!n tin
Nut a minute stopped or stayed he ;
uui nun uiein 01 lord or lady,
Perched above my clumber door
Perched upon a bust of Pallas
Just above my clumber door
Perched, and sat, and nothing n.ore.
Then this ebony bird beguiling
My sad lanoy into smiling,
By the grave nnd stern decorum of the
countennnce 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 mo what thy lordly namo is
On the night's Plutonian shore "
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermoro."
Much I mnrvellcd this ungninly
Fowl to hear discourse so p'ninly,
Though its answer little meaning little
relevancy bore ;
For we cannot heln nirrcclna
That no living human being
e.v.-i yui was oiesnuu wuu seeing
Bird above his chainoer door
Bird or beast upon th sculptured
Bust above Iih clumber door,
M 1th such name us ''Nevermore,"
Bnt thB Itnvcn. sitting lonely
On that plncld bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul In that one
word bo did outpour,
Nothing further then he uttered,
Not a leather then lie lluttcied
'Till I scarcely more than muttered,
"Other friends havo tlown beforo
On tho morrow will leave me.
As my hopes havo flown beforo."
Thcu the bird said, "Nevermoro."
Startled at the stillness broken,
By reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless." said I, "what It utters is Its
only stock uud store,
Caught from some unhappy mnster -Whom
unmerciful disaster
Followed fast nnd followed faster,
'Till his songs ouo burden bore
'Till the dirges of his hope that
Melancholy burJen bore '
Of "never nevermoro."
But tho Raven still beguiling
All mv snd soul Into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushctned seat in
front of bird nud bust and dooi ;
Then upon tho velvet sinking
1 betook myself to linking
Fancy unto funcy, thinking
What this ominous bird ofyoro
Whnt this gl im, ungainly, glinstly,
Gaunt nnd ominous bird ot yoro
Meant lu croaking "Nevermore." ' .
Thus I sat engaged Id guessing,
But no syllable expressing,
So the fowl whose llery oyoi now burned
. Into my bosom's core
This nnd more I sat divining,
With my head at case reclining
Oii the cushion's velvet lining
That the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet, violet lining,
With the lamp light gloating o'or,
She shall pre-s, nil, nevermoro 1
Then methougbt the air grew denser,
Pr turned from an unseen censer,
Swum: by Seraphim, whose footfalls link
led on the tut ted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee,
By these angels ho h itli sent theo
Respite respite nnd nepenthe,
From thy memories of Lenore I
Quail, oh quatl'this kind nepenthe,
And forget this lost Leuore !"
Quoth the Haven, "Nevermore."
"Prophet I" said I, "tiling of ovil !
Prophet still, if bird or de Ml !
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest
losseu inee uere asnore,
Desolate, yet all undaunted,
On this dcseit land enchained
On this homo by horror haunted
Tell m truly I implore
Is them is there balm in Gilead ?
Tell me toll me I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Prophet! "said I, "thing of evil
Prophet still, if bird or devil !
By that Heaven that bends nbovo us by
that God we both adorn
Tell this soul with sorrow laden,
It; within the distant Aidum,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden
Whom the angels namo Lenore
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden
Whom the angels u imu Lenoro."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Be that w rd onraurn nf tvirllW
Bird or tiend," I shrieked, upstarting
uec inee imci into the tempest nml tho
nh'ltt'tt Pllltnniiiii ulinrn I
Leave no black plume as a token
ii ui'ii ue my soul H it ii spoken !
Leave my loneliness unbroken !
Quit the bust above my door !
Take thy beak from out my heart, nnd
inKeiuy lorm Horn olt my Uoor!
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
And the Raven, never flittim?.
Still is sitting, still is sitting
On tho pallid bust of Pallas just abovo my
chamber door ;
And his eyes have all tho seeming
0'' a demon's that is dreaming.
And lb- lamp-light o'er him (streaming
Throws his shadow on tho floor.
And my soul from out that shadow
That lies floating on the floor,
Shall be lifted nevermore 1 '

Newfoundland dog, riding on the pas

road. Feeling some interest in such a
noblo looking object of the canine spec
it's, we inquired to whom ho belonged,
and were informed by Mr. Emery Ste

one individually, but was called the
Penn. railroad dog. He has a very
neat collar on his neck, with the initials,
'P. H. H. Dog, Jack,' engraved on it,
which we understand, was purchased by
Mr. AlontiO Cassell, baggage master on
tho hanoaster train, me dog came
from South Carolina with a soldier, and
was brought by some of the railroad
honds from near Waynesburg, Penn
About three weeks ago he jumped off

could get on again it started. He fol

Mixino Bauiks. An Alliance cor
respondent of the Canton (O ) Ilepotitory
relates the following : Somo days ago
there was a dancing party given for tho
benefit of the Fenians, on the out-skirts
of town, aud several of the ladies pres
ent bad littlo babies, whose noisy per
versity required too much attention to
allow their ma's to enjoy the hop.' A
number ot gallant young men volun
teered to guard tho infantry while tho
ladies engaged in the 'break down.' No
sooner had the mothers left their cher
ubs in tho hands of tno mischievous
wretches, than Ihey stripped the dar
lings, changed their clothes, giying tho
apparel ot one to anothor. The dance
over, the inothors each took, as she
thought, l er own baby, and hurriedly
left, the scono of gaieties and staited to
their homes several miles apart, being
far on the way before tho 'peep-o'-dny.'
On the following day thoro was a tre
mendous row in the settlement. Moth
ers discovered that a single night had
changed the sex ot their babies, and
thou commenced some of tho tallest fe
mala pedestrisnism. Living miles
apart, . it required two days to unmix
