Poem from tile Spirit of Poe. .
The following poem, which purports to
come from tho spirit of Edgar A. roe, is
worthy of his genius, and is conceived and
expressed in his happiest style:
From tho throne of life eternal.
From the home of love supernal, j?
Where thc angel feet make mosic over ?1!
tho starry floor, ?
Mortals, T have com? w>mota >'ou
Come with words ot love lo greet you,
And to tell you of thc glory that is mine
forevermore.
Once before I found a mortal,
Waiting at the Heavenly portal r
Waiting but to catch tho echo from thal
ever-opening, door; .
And I seized his quickened being, J
And though all his inward seem JR -
Caused my burning aspiration in a fiery
Hood to pour!
Now I come more meekly human,- fljf
And the weak lips of a woman
Touch with fire from off the altar- not
with burnings as of yore;
But iii holy lovo descending.
With her chastened being blending,
1 would fill your soul with music from the
bright celestial s^.oro.
As ono heart yearns for another.
As a child turns to UR mother
From tho golden gates <>f glory, turn I to
the earth once more;
Whore I drained tho cup of saduess.
Whore my BOUI was stung to madness.
And life's bitter, buming billows swept my
burdened being o'er.
Hore tho harpies and the ravens,
Human vampires-sordid cravens
Preyed upou my soul and substance, till I
writhed in anguish sore;
liife and I then seemed mismatcd,
For I felt accursed and fated,
bike a restless, wrathful spirit wandering
on the Stygian shore.
Tortured by a nameless yearning.
Life a frost-tiro-freezing, burning.
Bid the purple, pulsing life-tide, thro' its
fevered channels pour.
Till tho golden bowl-bio's token
Into shining shreds was broken.
And my chained and chafing spirit leapt
from out my prison door.
But while living, striving, dying
Never did my soul cease ervin g
"Ye, who guide tho Fates and Furies! give,
oh, give me, I implore,
From tho myriad hosts of nations.
From thc co'untlcss constellations,
One pure spirit that can love mc-one that
I too can adore!"
Through this fervent aspiration.
Found my fainting soul salvation --
Far from out its blackened fire-crypts, did
my restless spirit soar
And my beautiful ideal,
Not too saintly to be real.
Burst more brightly on my vision than tho
fancy formed Lenore.
'Mid the surging seas she found nie,
With tho billows breaking 'round nie,
And my saddened, sinking spirit, in her
arms of love up-bore;
Like a leno ono weak and weary,
Wandering in tho.midnight dreary,
On her sinless, saintly bosom brought me
to tho hoavenly'akore.
Jake the breath of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers of saints ascending,
Like the rainbow's scvon-hued glory blend
our souls forevermore;
Earthly love and lust enslaved me,
But Divinest love has saved me,
And I know now first and only, how to love
and to adore.
O, my mortal friends andr brother*,
We aro each and all another's.
And the soul that gives motet freely, from
its treasure hath thc mare;
Would you loee your life^you lind it,
And in giving love you-bind it.
Like an amulet of safety on your heart
forevermore!
THE GROCER'S STORY*
Ours was a quiet street at most
times-a lazy, shady place, where the
green blinds were forever closed, and
where there was so little passing that
spears of grass grew here ami there
between tho flag-stoues, aud the .stone
curbs of tlie iron-railed areas were
fringed -with soft green moss. A very
quiet place at most times, but late
upon one autumn afternoon, a strange
cry sounded through it, which
awakened all its echoes, and called
curious faces to the -doors and win?
dows.
"Stop thief! stop thief!"
The strong voice of a policeman
uttered the cry nt first, ana the shrill
treble of the boys, at play, near by,
took it np and repeated it, and, by
and-by, there was a full, deep chorus,
like the cry of a pack of hounds-a
sound you might have known at any
distance, however ignorant you were
of tho language, to be the cry of mon
wi io lum tod something.
Policemen, with their clubs; er?
rand-boys, with bundles; bakers,
with baskets ou their arms; young
gentlemen, just released from the
academy, close at hand; and ragged
urchins, whoso school-house was the
gutter, all joined together in the hot
pursuit, and followed the miserable
object with bare, begrimed feet and
hatless head, that ilitted along liefere
them with a speed which only fear
could lend to one so worn and
wretched-a speed which kept the
crowd a long way off, and made the
burliest of his pursuers punt for
breath.
They were out of sight in a mo?
ment, but, in a little while, the cry
was heard, that the thief had babied
them, and some amongst the crowd
rushed back to see if their prey had
doubled on his track; and others,
sulky and indignant with the result
of thc- useless chase, came back,
muttering angrily or swearing, with
many violent oaths, that they would
havo him yet. One policeman, a
wed- fed fellow, with a crimson face,
made quito a hero of himself by as?
serting, that he knew the fellow and
would trap him before ?un-down.
There wa? a good deal of sympathy
expressed for the ge?enian who. had
lost his pocket-harr?^gbi-. but
nono that I could licari^HKBkoor,
degraded wretch who liaW^^mH|^.?J
it, until a placid voice, at my^eloow
uttered .tl?e following words, appa?
rently in soliloquy:
"Well,T may bo wrong, but J some?
how hope'thev won't catch him."
I turned, in surprise, and con- i
fronted our grocer, on whoso steps I
lind sought shejter from tho crowd,
which, at such a moment, could not :
bo expected to think much of the
safety of a woman.
Our grocer was a portly man, with
a shining bald head, fringed by a ring
of white hair, like tho tonsure of a
"Roman Catholic priest, and wearing,
at the moment, a Holland apron and
a short blue jacket:
"Ycs'm," he'^fepfe-rfon, "I really
hope j^einiseraWe, starved-lookkig
r> Jd?fl&nTyou don't, believe he picked
pi^?ontleman's pocket," said I.
"I'm afraid its only too certain that
ho did, ma'am," said the man, shak?
ing his head? ' 'He looked straight at
me, as he passed, and he lind hungry*,
desperate eyes,* that looked like theft,
and murder, too, for that matter."
"And yet, you w ish him to escape,
?when ho has broken tho laws of the
huid, and will probably do so again?"
"God forbid that I should help to
break the laws," said the old grocer.
"Good men made them, and they
arc right; bnt there are other laws
that I read in my oki Bible Sunday
nights, that seem to be as binding.
One of them is-'Do unto others as
you would that others should do unto
you;' and another, '"Love thy neigh?
bor as thyself.' When I remember
these words, I think that you may be
too hard with a poor, sinful fellow
being, and not go beyond the limits
of the law either.
"That rich gentleman who had his
pockets picked, will go home to a lint!
dinner und a bottle of wine, no
doubt, and tilt; wretch of a thief may
have a ernst of bread and a glass of
burning gin, if he eau sell or pawn
what he stole for enough to get them.
Somehow, if I could, I wouldn't have
hunted him down to-night-I vow I
wouldn't.
"Still, I don't Illume those young
fellows; I'd have been as furious in
the chase os any of 'em years ago;
but I learnt a lesson once that I never
have forgotten, and hope 1 never
may. I was a young man, and a
poor one then, and had a hard strug?
gle to make my little shop keep my
little family. It was only by pinch?
ing and saving, and keeping a sharp
lookout for every bargain, that T ma?
naged it at all.
"We lived in a shabby street, and
had only very poor customers-. A
loaf of bread, a quarter of a pound of
butter, and two ounces of black tea
Was quite au order, and most of those
who came wanted trust.
"As for laying in lino fruit or vege?
tables, I never thought of such folly.
Diamonds would have been as saleable
in that part of the city, where washer?
women and the poorest men were the
aristocracy.
"Now and then, when a foreign
ship came to port with a load ol'
ruined pine-apples or decayed
oranges, I bought a lot of these, and
charging next to nothing, sold them
easily enough. Although, I own my
wife use to say the miserablo babies,
who rolled about the gutters, died oil'
faster after every stock of damaged
foreign fruit I sold in the old shop,
and 1 am afraid that sho was right.
Well, as I told you, I struggled along
as best I might, and after a while
things began to improve, and I began
to havo visions of a clean store, ou a
good street, when I laid down to rest
at night.
"So, one day when I had been to
market, I brought home half a dozen
hams, and hung them up about the
door, more for a show than anything
else, for ham was a grand holiday din?
ner in those regions, and not an every
day affair, 1 eau tell yon. They wont
oft*slowly, asl thought they would.
Now and then some one would come
in for a pound, and once 1 sold half
of the smallest one to a woman who
wanted it for her Sunday dinner.
Sho was to pay me on Monday morn?
ing, but she never did, for on Sunday
night her husband killed her with a
rum bottle, and they took her body
past my shop with its poor head
beaten out of shape and bloody.
"Anti so the hams hung there
through the summer and through the
fall, and quite on into the winter.
"It was just OS the December
nights began to grow long and dark
and cold, that I noticed a new police?
man on our beat-a young, hand?
some-looking fellow, with very bright
eyes, but v?feU .such thin cheeks and
hands, u^Kough ' be seemed to be
powerfully built}, and mude for n
rather stout matt, that 1 e.mid not
help watching him, and wondering,
whether lie had been ill oj- not. Tin
first timi^jihat I noticed him, wa:
about MiiflfcfefcftRd b.?. ga d ami tv
passed u^ Bgfcw dozen times,
looking alSKsBbo Btraigli. nt tin
hams '.vliitl^HpPed from thc frame
of the awr?E^gS*iPfcope he means tc
buy one,' lWrt*''to rmi wife, as wt
sat together over the nea-table; 'anil
I shouldn't wonder if lie did, for lie
seems to have taken quite a fancy tc
them."
"But the evening passed, and
though T saw him every now um!
then on the other side of t#h v, iy,
looking, across with his bright eyes
straight at the hams, he did not conic
in or speak to me upon the subject.
And so 1 made up my mind that ht
would send for it in the morning, ami
somehow mario sure of it that when
ever I saw u decent-looking woman
go by with :i basket on her arm, 1
said, 'That's the policeman's wif?
coming after the ham.' I was mis?
taken, however, and after the street
lamps were lighted that night I begai
to seo tho man pacing up anti down,
up and down, np and down, with hi?
3YC8 still fixed and as they had been
tho night previous tipon_ the hams,
t ince he caught mo peeping at him,
[ind then he turned so red and looked
it me with euch a wolfish glitter in
his eyes, that I grow angry and said
to myself, 'It's well that keeping im
saleable articles isn't a crime in this
country, for if it was I should expect
to be arrested. So I gave him back
Iiis look, turned on my heel, anti
walked back into the shop. I did ned
see him again that night; but long
after everything had been taken iu
and locked up, and I was snug in
bed, I heard a tramp, tramp, tramp,
upon the pavement, and knew it was
the new policeman, and that he wa?
looking at the hooks where thc hams
hung, as well as though I had secu
him.
"On the third evening he was
there again ; that, yoti may say, was
no wonder, for it was his duty to be
upon that beat and no other; but it
was curious that he should koeij on
stiring at those hams wit'i *'.io.se
bright, wolfish eyes of his. I didn't
like it, though I could not have said
why. A vessel had been wracked at
sea about that time, and an extra,
with the latest news of the disaster,
came out that oveMng. I bought a
paper and sat down behind the coun?
ter to read it. It was a stormy night,
and but few customers came in, and
those were easily served, and some?
how, between reading and thinking,
time passed on, until the clock struck
eleven, aiul I had not yet taken in
my goods or put up my shutters.
"Just as I was about to do so, (in
fact, I had already put my hand upon
the first piece of the shutter.) my
door opened, and an old woman
came in. She was a sottish, misera?
ble creature, kuown about thc place
as Irish Kate, and, with her red nose
and bleared eyes and bloated limbs,
was as ugly a figure as any one evei
cast eyes on. 'Another dram, I sup?
pose,' I said to myself, going behind
the bar at once, for I wanted to get
rid of lier as soon as possible. But
she, to my surprise, came close up to
me, and put her great red paw upon
my arm.
"I've made a diskivery, mister,'
she said. "You've not been keeping
as bright a lookout as ye should:
there's been a Untie at Work widout
this blessed night."
"What thief?" 1 asked.
"More than I can tell ye," she an?
swered. "But 1 think it's a police?
man -no less, the blackguard."
"A policeman!" I cried, and my
thoughts How at once to the man 1
had seen staring at my hams.
"It's too dark to sec his face," she
said; "but I caught the shine of il
star on thc coat he has on, and who?
ever it was took a ham from youl
pegs, and hid it in thc ash-box be
yant at the corner. Veil find it there,
if ye look; and now veil not refuse
an old woman a sup o' whiskey for
the informationV"
gave the old creature what sin
wanted, hurried her out of the shop,
and put u]> the shutters, growing an?
grier every moment.
