So sweet as those of Sweet Sixteen !
And though the charm may wear away,
As roses fade and dews exhale ;
Though glossiest locks may turn to gray,
And fairest cheeks grow wan and pale ;
Yet who can doubt those dearly loved,
In lands by mortal eye unseen,
Beyond the stare, shall all regain
The angel hues of Sweet Sixteen !

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

'Shall I send for your friends Y' asked the
,pious man. 'Friends 1" said the dying man

would have been to the aoal of poor Edgar

His eye did not, altogether, lack the ;lustre

to Court without my man Bob riding behind

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

made me mount-the stump. And so when I

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

of those who abandon the peaceful pursuits

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! Leave your
books with complex figures—your dirty shop
—your busy store !• Rest with those you
!eve; for God only knows what the next
Saturday night will bring you ! 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.
Go home to those you love, and as you
bask in the loved presence, and meet the re•
turn of the loved embrace of your heart's
pets, strive to be a better man, and bless
God for giving his weary, children so dear a
steirp.ing stone in the river to the Eternal, as

The Reason -for Refusal:
Mr, Pops paid his two hundred and sixty

poKthe other evening. He found her in a
rocker, alone in the parlor; stole his arm tt ,
round her neck, and sipped in the
nectar of her cherry lips,— a proceeding there
was not the least harm in, considering that
they, had come to an agreeMent, and were
generally reported to boon' the• high road to
matrimony. The lady took it all quietly,
even indifferently, to judge from the bassi

use of her fan, and her exclamation of some
thing between a heigh-ho . and-ha=lrum: t—

But few soft crabs are seen, owing to the
difficulty of finding and capturing them in

you ever fancy that you could stay its course,
and hurl it back to the depth of the ocean ?
