GRAVE OF EDGAR A. POE. — A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican is calling public attention to the fact that the remains of the late EDGAR ALLAN POE are still reposing in an obscure corner of the Potter’s Field of Baltimore. He says — “It seems as if, in the Monumental City, a little slab, at least, might be raised, inscribed with the poet’s name. It would speak to many hearts. POE, the noble, though shattered column in our Muses’ temple; whose poems, like some of COLERIDGE and SHELLEY tremble with that strange melody which is often vouchsafed to be breathed by human tongues. His tongue [[tomb]] would be pleasurable and useful to many who love to pay pious pilgrimages to the grave of genius.”
