☞ Mr. Edgar A. Poe, of the New York: Broadway Journal, recently delivered a poem, by invitation, before the Boston Lycem [[Lyceum]]. The Boston papers spoke of it as a miserable production, and Poe tries to take his revenge by saying that he meant it as a hoax on the people of Boston. We think there is precious little of Poe's rhyme or prose that wouldn’t pass better as a hoax than as anything else.
