Mr; . _ l M"MclWW"t n r i gg The Author of the "Raven " 'My best friend would be he who would take a pistol and blow out my brains, and thus relieve me of my misery.' So said Edgar Allen Poe. His lips curl ed bitterly. These were his dying words. Such was the unhappy state of oue whom dissipation bad robbed of the pure enjoy ments of life, and brought to hopeless ruin. He had been reared in the most elegant society and educiated in the most polished schools. He possessed poetic gifts of unwonted beau ty and brilliancy. The production of his muse were few and fragmentary—melancholy prophecies of what he might have been-- but they made him a marked man among the lovers of poesy throughout the world. He lacked symmetry of character, and with all of these advantages that he possessed over others, he was wayward as a youth, passion ate in maturer years, and always unmanned at the sparkle of the intoxicating cup. He blazed awhile in the literary firmament the "comet of a season," bus he left behind• him an unworthy influence, a reproachful memo. ry, and the admonition of a fearful end. He was making a journey when his death occurred and he was occupied with the prep aration for his wedding day. Better im pulses warmed his heart and mollified his passions at the thought of his nuptials, and and the sunlight of the future gladdened a again the vision o f his' mind Gol den dayt filled his fancy—days of the ten derness of conjugal love and the sweet hab itudes of domestic bliss. He stopped at the city of Baltimore. He met old companions, j. Hy fellows with whom he had passed convival hours. The intoxi cating cup glittered before him. The tom tation was too great. He would spend one more revel ere he entered that purer sphere depioted in his dreams. That cheerless November night he was found lying in the street stupffied with drink ing, covered with dirt, and his face distorted with horror. His jovial companions had de serted him. He was taken to a hospital.— A fearful dream rose upon him, and fired his brain. Delirium, with her thousand de. mono, darkened his intellect, once beautiful with airy thought and poetic fancies. /lb Ida re Potts ensues. A. clergyman is sent for.

I was in the Legislature of North Carolina when Nat Macon was a mem ber of it, and I have been President of the Senate of that old State; and I reckon if I had ever tried I could have been governor or Congressman. I used to drive my car riage, had my race horses, and never went to Court without my man Bob riding behind me with a gold band around his hat.' 'And what-has-brought - you - down - scrlow?' inquired his honor. 'Politics, sir. Some people say it was whis key; but whiskey was only ooe of the effects not the cause of my downfall. When I en de red e_eatate_m y_ Aather_laft_me,_ Which was quite a snug property, I was a moral and industrious young man ; but un fortunately, I had a law suit that carried me frequently to courr, and there I met some jolly fellows, who invited me to drink with them, and there to I got too talking politics and hearing speeches, and finally the boy's persuaded me I had a gift for speaking, and made me mount-the stump. And so when I once got on the political track, you couldn't any more stop me than you could stop a lo c~mo ive with your I became very popular—that cost me all my fortune; I be came a provincial legislator—that oust me all my morality and good habits ; and, final ly, from a great politician, I became a gam bler—a drunkard—and now I am hero, a bouseless vagrant, in the dock with the very vilest of this great wicked city.' 'lt is all true; alas l too true,' remarked a lawyer in court. 'I knew Col. D. when he still occupied a high position in North Carolina; he was one of the most prominent men of the time.' 'You can go.' remarked the recorder, and ' the old man bobbled out of the dock and went off, not knowing as he said, whither to direct his tottering steps—a melancholy ex ample of the dangers which beset the path of those who abandon the peaceful pursuits of pthate, to engage in the corrupting scenes of political life. Saturday Night How many a kiss has been given—how many a curse—how many a oareas—how ma ay a look of hate—how many a kind word— how many a promise has been broken—how many a heart has been wrecked—how many a soul lost—how many a loved one lowered in the narrow chamber—how many a babe has gone from earth to heaven—bow many a little crib or cradle stands silent now, which last Saturday night hold the rarest of all treasures of the heart. A week is a life ; a week is a history ; a week marks events of sorrow or gladness which people never heard. 09 home to your family, man of business I Go home to your heart•errtng wanderer ! Go home to those you love, man of toil, and give one night to joy and comforts flying by!

Forget the world of care and battles with life that have furrowed the week ! Draw close around the family hearth ! Saturday ni;ht has waited your coming in sadness, in tears, and in si lence.

CHOOSE WELL —The line of conduct cho sen by a young man during the five years from fifteen to twenty, will, in almost every instance determine his character for life.— As he is then careful or careless, prudent or improvident, industrious or indolent, truth ful or dissimulating, intelligent or ignorant, so will he be in after years; and . it needs no prophet to east his horoscope, or calculate his -chances in life. Bishop Bevricize has truly and strikingly said : 'Who knows but the salvation of ten thousand immortal souls may depend on the adoration of a child The hardships of the ocean—ironolads The Reason -for Refusal: Mr, Pops paid his two hundred and sixty seventh visit to Miss Clarissa Cooler,.a dam. eel of about two hundred and fifty advoirdn poKthe other evening.

The lady took it all quietly, even indifferently, to judge from the bassi de of her attitude in the looker, her lazy use of her fan, and her exclamation of some thing between a heigh-ho . and-ha=lrum: t— disposed'Common-places vPe of.

'You expect our wedding to take place in three weeks, don't you ?' To be sure I do. Well I am sorr • to disa must do it. I cannot marry—' _ Crood heaveus, Clarrissa, what are you saying ?' 'Don't interrupt me, I. mean I can't marry you just -yet awhile—not for some.ruouths to come.' Why ; Clarrissa ; what's the meaning of all this ? YoU gave me your positive promise, and said nothing stood in the way., lam all ready, and worried with waiting. Why do you put it off, dear ? 'That you will have to excuse my '•telling you. I have a good reason for it, and my mind is made up. Will that satisfy you ?' Pops mused — awhile—t~la~riesa, kep er fan going. Finally Pops spoke. • 'No, Clirrissa, it wont satisfy me.

'But this I'tLsay, Miss Clarissa, if you don't tell me why you postpone the wedding for a few months, you way postpone it forever, so far as lam concerned.

Pops came back, and Clar issa put her !lead upon his shoulder and cried. Pops spoke first. 'Well, dear, what's the matter'?' Oh, I don't want to toll; I can't tell -you why I want our wedding put off.' 'You must tell me,' said Pops; 'or I'll leave you this instant, and never return !' 'Well, dear, if I must, I must.' And Clarissa laid her head upon • Pep's shoulder, and faintly whispered in his ear : The Weather is to hot.' The thermometer was up beyond the nine. ties. lie understood her, and consented to a postponement with a perspiring sigh that showed how much he wished for ould weath er. CHAD RAISING.-A gentleman at Auer°. Hs, 111 d., has teamed in a cove near the mouth of the Severe river and commenced_thie_oul _d_va t ri-of-erahs — o on a arge scale. He has put in about 4,000 and feeds them on coarse fish and any kind of refuse meat.. A squad of them will attack a catfish, devour it in one night, and pick the bones as clean as a pack of wolves would pick a deer. Tho.soft arab is only the hard crab with his coat or shell off. Before shedding his shell he is worth only half a cent in market; without it he is worth a dime. He sheds his shell butbut once a year, and remains a soft crab a few hours, when a new shell is again formed.— But few soft crabs are seen, owing to the difficulty of finding and capturing them in the 'nick of time: This difficulty it is pro posed to obviate by the herding process, where the stock can be examined every day and as fast as a crab is found with his coat off, he is captured as a soft crab and market. ed accordingly. The location of the crab pasture is at a point where the tido regularly ebbs and flows, giving the crabs a plhntiful supply of their natural element. CERTAINTY OF PUNISHMENT.—As you stood some stormy day upon a sea cliff, and marked the giant billow rise from the deep to rush on with foaming crest, and throw it• self thundering on the trembling shore, did you ever fancy that you could stay its course, and hurl it back to the depth of the ocean ? Did you ever stand beneath the leaden low ering cloud and mark the lightning's leap, as it shot and flashed, dazzling athwart the gloom, and think that you could grasp the bolt and change its path ? Still more . fool ish and vain hid thought who fancies that he can arrest or turn aside the purpose of God, saying to lairtriolf : "What is th e , mighty that we Should serve him ?

'That man who pays more for his rent than for his advertising does not know his business.' This maxim of an experienced and'auocessful_merchant is Incontrovertible. It natters less to have a fine store than that everybody should know w 'lrere - itis - a - trd what is in it. It is poor policy to put a couple of hundred thousand dollars in a building and then stop.
