I'. Stcdmau's article oo Poe in the current awnber ol Scribner. Eiceltent as this sketch is, it is Hacking in one particular. It contains no account of POP'S life at the University of Virginia, a time tall of interest to all his ad-mirers. This want, however, has been fortunately supplied by Mr. Douglass Sherley, of the Universi-ty, who contributes as the fourth and last of bis excellent " Oddity Papers" in the Unirertity Magazine a very entertaining and Instructive account of Poe's life as a student. We are sorry that we cannot repub-lish the whole paper, but we give as much of it as our limited space permits: To Mr. Thomas Goode Tucker, of Gaston, North Carolina, who, at our urgent request, has finally con-sented to allow his name to be used in the present connection—we are F^8crr«i^-L2> d,eply indebted To bin. »e ow. nearly all the information CBaaf «i' Dr. IJ.

DOtl in-, tima'e f.ient), there is no ono'.iio <:JII throw mr:re light on his liriel University career than Mr. Tucker. Poe is described us having been ■A most excellent Latin and Frrnch scholar: lie aoald nwd and speak botb langiiage^ with greit ease al Though ii could hardl) bare been Haid that he knew either language crilifMlly. Greel: lie rend indiOVr-enilt ; what a consolation tlii.s facl must l>e to those as|>uiiig vonilis of genius to whom the tongue in which Homer so divinely song is distasteful, and to whom Greek roots ure mi alioniinstion. Time and again Poe wonld enter the lecrure-rooni uHi-rly unprepared HI recite ■( called ii|ion But his bran was so active ami his mennorj M-i excellent that only a few mo-ments study was necessary, ami theu he was ready to make the best recitation in 'lie class. The bare opportunity of '• reading ahead," as we students term that agonizing ordeal, when one is fully expecting to lie called upon, was all tha' Poe desired when unprepared. As a consequence ol this wonderful tacul-tv he was able to maintain a very high position in his classes, and win for himself the admiration, but mote oftentimes envy, of his fel-low- stndents. The plodding lellow who wearily bent over Ins work lor twelve or thirteen hours, and came to his daily lecttites wnli a satisfied sense of doty done, could bat poor ly »ud at heal aograeioosly, brook the easy won triumphs of his neigh bof bard by, who had, to his certain kuowledge, spent the better part t-l the night before with a jolly set ol fellows around the card-table, or alone in his room dashing off line alter line of poetic beauty or deep-ly absorbed iu the development of an intricate plot of some wild, stiange story, fresh from his bruin, ol great originality and clearness of thought "H-is delightful to know that Poe was,not exempt from that college weakness to which the most of us Bave at one time or another yielded ourselves—a good, healthy quarrel with that much abused creature, our room-mate. When he liist come to the University he roomed on the lawu with a young man troni Richmond, Miles George, who we understand, is still living. They had been together but a shori time when something arose to disturb the harmonious intercourse—per- ,i,ips Miles refused 10 nnse on cold mornings to answer the knock oi M*. Wertetilmker, who in thr-e good old days made *l'e rounds •acli morning ro see it the fellows were np and dressed and reodv I >r work (what a good thi..g the** stiff old legulaiiou. bave fallen into ■■ - honored disose), or perpaps Edgar Allan wr.s unwilling io coon: ovei ■ lie clothes on Monday morning i?!ien (he washerwoman came. (U> the way, we kuow of seven differ-ent ancient colored leinai' s who claim to bave washed for "Marae K I. Poo.") Well, he this as i' may, net had a tailing out ami they had ■•soettlil g more- a genuine, good. 0 il fashioned light. Without si> i g a wold to any one, ilu-v quieiK leiued into that held neat the L'ul- > eisit) where a certain enthusiastic titiIf portion of our community daily resort for baseball purposes, and alter one or two rounds, in which they both showed a suflli ent amount of courage and a strong tie-sire to black each other's eves, tbe\ mutually agreed that they were satisfied, and, heartily shaking hands, returned to the University, as warm friends, but not as room mates. Poe, after this little affair, thinking it best to room alone, moved into No. 13 on West range. So that «e see that even Poe at aeventeeu was as much of a boy— although so different from the or-dinary run—as our commonplace selves. .... ,., Poe at this period ol his life was rather short of suture, thick, and somewhat compactly set, but very active, being quite an expert in the athletic and gymuastic arts. Some-bow we have hitherto always bad a vague kind of a notion that Poe was slight of build, slender as a girl and just as graceful, and wandered about with a slow-moving gait and a dreamy air pervading bis whole manner. Instead of this somewhat idealistic notiou, be was bow-legged, and walked rapidly with a certain jerkiness in his hurried movements. He had about him the air and the action ol a native-born Frenchman. To quote Mr. Tucker: "He was very mercurial in his disposition and exceedingly tondof peach and honey" —something that all Virginians ahd Oaroliuiaus are familiar with, es-pi- ctally those stately, courteous geutlemen of the *'Old School™ who are now so rapidly passing away. Poe was also particularly fond ol playing cartls—seven up and loo being bis favorite games. He play-ed iu such an impassioned manner as to atnoHtit lo almost an actual frenzy. All of his curd-playing and drinking he did under a sudden im-pulse. His passiuu for strong drink was of a most marked and peculiar character. He would always seize the tempting glass generally un mixed with either sugar or water— in lact, perfectly straight—and without the least apparent pleasure swallow the Contents, never pausing until the last drop had passed his lips. One glass at a time was abou' all that he conld take, but tins was sufficient to rouse his whole Dei vous nature into a state ol strangest ex-citement, that found vent in a con-tinuous il>* of wild, fascinating talk ;uat irresistibly enebained everj libtener with sj ren like power. ir :s carious *o trace the subse-quent career «.! those men nlm were Poe's constant companions around the card-table end who tilled their glasses; xvr.li peach and honey from the same pouch bowl. Thomas S. Gholson was after wards very pious and a judge ot .-Dine distinction and gnat integrity iu the Petersburg district; Upton Beale (who always held the win-ning card) became an Episcopal minister, stationed at Kortolk, and who was succeeded by Phil. Slaugh-ter, who is still leadiug a lile of parity and exoellencp, preaching the gospel - unewhere in the Stale at the presenl lime, and who re-members With a smile those way-ward days of bis youth when lie and Pn- were partners at cards aud neiil a Common treasury boeween tin in. Ol N.ii. Dunn, W. A. Creinh toll and Win. M. Bill well we know nothing It is more than likeiy that all of '.his old set ate dead, with the exception ol Slaughter and Tucker; the latter says be rarely, it ever. ventured to play with those we have named as they were, each one ot theiu. regarded, and justly so, as great experts. Bui with none of these men, ex-cept Thomas Goode Tucker, did Poe form that close and teodereat ol all intimacies—a warm, impul-sive, genuine college Inendship. All old men and those who have in any way experienced the innanet able delights of this relationship bear testimony in the strongest and most unqualified terms, that a true college Iriendsbip is that one some-thing in life tree from selfish mo- | tives anil worldlineas and upon which we may safely anchor onr fondesl affect trios, resting iu an un mistaken confidence that no matter what lime may bring, wbat oui enemies may say or do, there will always remain in Ibe innermost heart of the college friend of our youth a teudei spot lor these with whom ho has exchanged all the sweet and sacred offices of a pure friendship formed at that time of Ills when we are Ire.- from the cool calculations and somi times sordid-ness ot those maiurri years when our friends are olios- n Recording to the prim dictates of the judgment rather than ot the heart. Whatever Pos may have been in alter years, he was when here as Ized by that same weitduess of style, graphically picturing horrible scenes and incidents, that so strong ly marks all of his published writ-iugg. His little room ou West Range was often filled with a small, select audience of his most particular friends, who, spell-bound, scarcely breathed while tbey eagerly listen ed to some story—strange and wild like all the rest—that be had just written and which he read with his whole soul thrown into every action and intonation of his voice—now loud and rapid like the mad rush ot many waters, and now sinking into a scarcely audible whisper, ot smeo terrible sentence of incantation or curse sending a shiver over all that heard. What a privilege to have been there ! On one occasion Poe read a story of great length to some ot his friends, who, in a spirit of jest. spoke lightly of its merits, aud jok-ingly told him that his hero's name, " Gaffy," occurred too otten. His proud spirit would not stand such, as be thought, open rebuke ; so in a fit of auger, before his friends could prevent him, he had fiuug every sheet into a blazing fire, and thus was lost a story of more than otdi nary parts, and, unlike the most of lus stui ies, was intensely amusing, entirely free from his usual sombre coloring and sad conclusions merg-ed in a mist ot impenetrable gloom, lie was for a long time afterwards called by those in bis particular cir-cle ''Gaffy " Poe, a name that he never altogether relished. Gaining during the first two or three sessions of the University was very prevalent. Iu last during tho early part of the present eendj rj it wss indulged in to a certain ex tent, more or less, by onr very lies-people. But ot course it was some-thing iu au institution like this ol so pel nicious a uature as to demand a decided check. This, the year before bis death, Ur, Jefferson at-tempted by trying to stop the gen-eral card-playing at the Dniversitt; and although il did not serve the purpose tor which it was intended, yet it furnished a characteristic picture ol Pis' that it will be well to mention in this connection. Mi. Jefferson aud the Board of Visitors, af'er much deliberation decided upon the following device in order to stop the card playing lor money. Au arrangement was made wiib the civil authorities to ferret out the most noted of the Minng gamesters, and have them indicted in due form and brought belore the next grand jury. So on a given day that theu this formid-able personage, the o limy sheriff, with a good posse, appeared within the doorway of one ot the lecture rooms just as the morning roll was about to be called, ready to serve his writs on certain young men as tbey answered to their names. Bui those gay young rakes were not to lie so easily eiisn.tri-d in'ho well ' ii I toils of the aim »st triumph nit ene-my. They needed no word of "inn-ing ; the mere glimpse ol the sliei-ill's shadow i'i the doorway wuh ins men behind him was more lhau enough to convey to their minds an idea of «hat was com-tig. With Edgar Allen Poe I i a leader they, to nse the college expression, indiscrimi nately "bolted"—some through ihr open windows and some through an opposite door. Slid ft- prntHt ami the Professor were lett 111 lull pos-session ol ! he empty lecture room. Then the hot pursuit. But those whowere wanted the most had made ii.eir successful esca|M-—not to their rooms, they would not have been sale there; but off to the "Rigged Mountains" over an unfrequented hv-paih, but one well known lo Poe. They were aware it would not be well to return to the University until alier night; so-some of the party bad managed ill their lusty High' 10 snatch no ■ deck or so ol cards with which 10 while away the hunts ol their sell imposed banishment. Then plac. of retreat was a beam iful deil high u;> in the mountains, and very Inac-t. v Last we should die-appoint those *ho may be anxious to know the result of the ruse on the part of the sheriff snd bispo««« to capture Poe and his friends, we will add in con-clusion that, as we have already said, tbey remained out in the mountains during the wboleof three days, playing cards and telling stories, and returning to the Uui-veraity sometime alter night, they would wisely exchange rooms, so that it might lie impossible to idea tifv thera by their names, that were then required to be iu large letters on the door of every dormitory iu the University ; early next morning they would be off again. The board ing house people,who were of course in sympathy with the "|*>or dear tellows," kept their rooms liberally stocked with the beet of everything the uiitket could afford, while "Uncle John," au oltl servant, who In his day was a great character among the students, did uot allow their generous supply ot peach and uouey to run low. Finally every-thing blew over, and the gay young rascals, with Edgar Allen Poe at their head, returned to their lec-tures, where thev were greeted wilb sucn fiiendly professorial smiles as to almost m.iKe them believe that uothing had actually happened. This much tor Kdgar Allan I'oi-while a student at the University ol Virginia. 11 was our purpose to give a ini-ii- glimpse, that much it nothing more, ol Poe's University career ; and It was our desire to add some-thing new—titcis hitherto unpub lisln-d—to the much that has been said aim written about this in niauy resoeela woniletltl! mall. Tins we hive, after a manner, been able to do, thanks to Mr. Thomas Good.. Tucker. Special Paragraphs-age and hard work i. lie is in earnest true asd pel fi Cl i friend as the waj • .Tdness of bis nature would allow, oessibie, being fat nwaMrom of the beateu paths, but a spot thai •|'„..... was in vet then the least ;oii 'h "I itteineerity, and never 'he I ...i indieatin i ol lhal fickleness ol dispositied with a Inch he was atler wards so often—although in the main, we ti-.'.k. unjustly -accused.

So ii is nol a mattei of much Borprise •hat Poe had few intimate friends. al:hough be could play cards »"»l drillk peach and honey lor hours with those who were thrown iu bis way bv matter ol circumstance A genuine Iriendsbip asks for some-thing more than mere conviviality. .,nd a shuffling each in turn the same pack ot cards. There must be other ties in order to cement a lite-long attachment. Poe showed his warm appreciation and high respect fni his liieinl Tucker by reading "• bim those earl} prodnctions.it his tontb—productions thai his critical hand afterwards destroyed, think-ing them unfit tor publication. Sometimes, when be had written an article that Tucker would especially praise, he would call in a few of his friends and read it to them. Those men who were so fortunate as to hear those impromptu leadings nev-er forgot them, and those ot the number who arastill living, declare that there is no impression on their minds more strikingly vivid. They were mostly stories and character-was a lavorite haunt with Poe. Theie he hail often gone alone. when those overpowering fits ol depression approaching almost to madness had come upon him, and there be had frequently remained for hours, deeply buried in what have Bomelimes deen termed the "bitter-sweets of melancholy.'' And there it was, perhaps, that his ac live brain liecame so strongly im Ion d ui'h those wild, t-meitul ideas sorealis'ic iu their uurealiiy, that ar° so abundantly embodied in his weird wtitings.etivironed as he was bt those low. sweeping pines, from whose dark-green, ne. die-pointed foliage there seemed to acttiallv ooze a dreary soiubreness that per nn-aied all the atmosphere with a lancinating gloom.
