Brothers, rest, for it ia better j
Thus U> lio benoath tho soil, ^
Than to wear bhe galling fetter,
? And to feol tho tyrant's rod.
To aro froe, sinco death hath found you, I
\.nd your honor still is safe:
Hero, no sense, of shanie can hound yon, |
No remorse your spirits chafe.
Wo mourn you now-ah. how sadly,
For wo loved your gallant worth;
But wo miss you almost gladly
From tho baseness here on earth.
Heroes! Nothing now is left us,
Since the foo yo never fled ,
Of our country hath bereft us
Naught is left us but our dead.
Hero wo mourn, but mourn exulting,
That our best and bravest rest
Safe from scorn of foes insulting.
Safe from shame within their breast.
Rest in death, for it is fitting.
Now your country, too, is dead;
And your spirits round us flitting
Bless ne by your honored bed.
Know thor? lingers one full feeling.
Lifting hearts that else are bowed;
'Tis to feel a thrill so healing
Of our dead wc can bc proud.
Brothers, rest-your sisters near yon,
Ave, keep your momosy green,
Adding to the lovo they bear you
Joy and pride in what hath been.
Softly we lav om flowers by you,
Low we whisper "Loved tho best;"
Rejoice there are no ills to try yon,
Tray your souls may enter rest.
If a race as leal and knightly
Ever should be at our sido.
Then our eves would shine as brightly
With the'hopes for which you died.
Coine such time, we'd think you risen,
Full of all your former fire,
From your close-confining prison,
Bursting with avenging ire.
But tho hopes that once wo cherished
.With our dead lie buried now;
And since they have with you perished,
Over both our hearts we DOW.
Sleep on, brothers-with you slumber
All we called our dearest, best;
Oft your names, loved ones, we number,
For you oft pray heaven's rest.
SHMFT ON THE HAFT*
Tho terrible storm which ravaged
the coast of Norway, on the 12th of
October, 1715, was i-eineinbered in
that country long after the hand of
time and the industry of man had
obliterated the marks of its fury. As
sudden as it was tremendous, it arose
after several weeks of settled weather,
and having wrought more havoc in a
few hours than' ordinary tempests
effect in days, it subsided with cor?
responding rapidity, leaving upon
the minds of the peasants who wit?
nessed its terrors a singular impres?
sion with regard to its origin. For
years the herdsman of that rugged
land, and the sailor of the dangerous
sea, believed that the dreadful storm,
which had swept away sheep and
shepherd amid tho ruin of house and
fold, and had dashed the largest craft
upon the rocks that received the
shattered fishing-boats, was caused
by a sudden exertion among the de?
mons of the Pole, who, forbidden by
the mandate of Heaven to enter earth
while it shall move in its appointed
orbit, are perpetually laboring to dis?
turb its charmed circle, that they may
rush into havoc by land and wave.
Strange tales are still told of tho
events of that fatal day, and of the
night which ensued; and the follow?
ing legend, relating to one of tho
voyagers who suffered in the storm,
bears some evidence of the feeling
with which the Norwegians regarded
so terrible a visitation; a feeling in
which is mingled some vague recol?
lection of the time when Norway
itself was ono of the most unfortunate
of the stakes in the gamo played by
the great continental powers.
Tho tempest was rapidly subsiding
aa dusk drew on, but the cessation of
tho violent turmoil brought no com?
fort to tho scanty crew of the ill-fated
ship Drontheim, which had sailed
from the port of that name on the
pi'eceding day, and had met the
wrath of the storm in full career,
fcjho had been bound for France, but
at the time we speak of she was a
helpless and naked hull, drifting
whither thc c?prico of the wind,
which seemed to blow from all points
ot* tho compass at once, chose to hur?
ry her. She was now making her
rapid but involuntary course North?
wards; but to tho few human beings
who yet clung to her decks, the state
of her shattered sides, through which
the water was forcing its way at
twenty wounds, left- it a matter of
hideous unconcern where they might
meet the uncertain fate which await?
ed them. It was obvious that many
minutes could ,iot elapse beforo the
vessel and all she contained should be
sucked into tho troubled abyss on
which she yet floated. Her smaller
boats had long since been carried
away by a burst of tho storm, which,
hulling three or four monster waves
across her ?leek, had swept every
movable thing from its surface, in?
cluding more than a third of the
wretched crew. In the next moment,
one of terrified madness, the survivors
had crowded the long boat, which
had scarcely touched tho foaming
billows ero it was swamped, and went
down with every soul it bore. Not a
dozen men remained on the fated
vessel, when the sudden and horrible
change in motion which announces
ho foundering of a ship took place.
Sho ceased to make way ; the violent
agitation which had for hours ren?
dered it noarly impossible to stand
upon her dock was exchanged for a
sullen lurch, followed by a second
and third; then the hideous roar of
the waters rushing in on every hand
told thc frantic crew that all was over,
"v. Amid the loud and agonized prayers
of ft few, and tho blasphemous rav
ings of the rest, the waves of tho c
Northern Sea closed over the "Dron- c
bheinx forever. " * ' ?.
As the vortex caused by the sink- i
lng of the vessel disappeared, one i
mau alone waa struggling in the t
water in the energy of despair. Hi? <
rich dress rather encumbered his
movements; but he was in the prime 4
of manhood, and a practised swim- i
mer, and was putting forth his full <
strength, in the hope of finding some t
relic of the ship on which to fioat for j
the chance of Hf e. "But his hope <
waxed fainter with his limbs, for tho <
gathering dusk was rapidly reducing ?
his chance of discovering any object
around him, and the waves still ran :
too high and angrily to allow him a
chance of endurance much longer.
He still swam, but his despair was
almost total when he discerned a dark
body at a few yards' distance. He
struck vigorously forward, and, to
his inexpressible relief, discovered
that it was a small raft, on which a
human body was lying. A succession
of violent strokes, now animated by
renewed hope, brought him to its
side, and, in a moment or two, the
Count de Buriguy was clinging to tho
buoyant mass.
When he had somewhat recovered
breath, his next effort was to mount
upon the raft itself; but as he made
the attempt, the figure, which already
occupied it, arose to a sitting posture,
and gently repulsed him. Before ho
could speak, it addressed him in a
pleasing voice, which, however, was
piercing enough to make itself dis?
tinctly heard amid the dashing
waters:
"Stay, my son, you are welcome to
all the support my raft will allow you,
but for both of us to mount would
entail destruction on both."
"Father," gasped the Count,
"whoever you may be, you will surely
assist me in saving my fife."
"Truly, son," returned tho other
voice, "you apply for help at a most
unseasonable time. But I am bound
at least to succor you with my ad?
vice; and I therefore advise you to
swim for some rocks, whichAxo dis?
tant about a quarter of a league in
tho direction in which I am pointing.
They are always above water, and in
tho morning you will certainly be
discovered by some ves? V
"Thanks, father," replied the
Count; "but I would rather cling
here, with the certainty of being safe
for tho moment, than again risk my
lifo in a struggle with tho waves for
a chance of reaching some rocks I
may not be able to climb."
"Such is tho wisdom of man!" said
the other, "ever confident in the
present, ever distrustful of the fu?
ture. But I tell you, my sou, that
yon rocks arc easily accessible, and
that if yon strike away now you aro
safe."
"Safe or not, father, 1 romain here;
and I therefore entreat you, if you
have tho means, to steer us in search
of this same rock platform-we shall
then have tho satisfaction pf being
saved together."
"I am on my own course, my son,
and I advise you not to keep my
I company," said the other voice. The
words induced the Count to examine
his companion as closely as possible,
but the fast failing twilight only en?
abled him to discern a figure in a
priest's robe, the hood of which ef?
fectually shrouded the features of the
wearer.
"You speak strangely, father," said
the Count; "but I hold my intention,
fervently wishing I had something
easier to hold, for my fingers are
numbed, and this wood is slippery."
"I have warned you, my son; but
if you insist on remaining, I will do
what I can to aid you."
The figure seemed engaged with its
dress for a moment. The next, a
small but intensely bright red light
appeared by its side, suddenly illu?
minating tho raft, the two speakers
and the surrounding waters, with a
lustre which seemed supernatural.
As soon as the Count could recover
from the effect upon his eyes, he
eagerly scrutinized the face of the
other, who had thrown back his hood,
and wa fixing a little lamp contain?
ing the light into the wood of the
raft. The features were calm and
regular, and the tonsure on the head
added to their dignified character.
The stranger was clearly a priest, but
his dress offered no aid in the disco?
very of his rank or country, even to
the eye of the Count de Buriguy.
"I repeat it, my son, I exhort you
to save yourself by swimming, and
you aro still in time to do so. But,
since you aro obstinate, this cord will
afford you the assistance you desire."
"Thanks, father," said thc Count,
ns tho priest, gradually creeping to?
wards him, drew the rope, which he
had taken from his own waist, under
the arms of the former, and, at tac'1
ing one end to a ring in the wood?
work, passed the cord several times
around the body of thc Connt, and,
at length, secured him so effectually
to the raft, that he floated without
thc least necessity for exertion. Thc
priest then regained his seat in th?
centre, and, for some minutes, they
were silent. Tho Count was tho firs'
to speak.
"I did not seo you, father, arnon;
us, iu the unfortunate Drontheim,'
he said.
"I remained below, at prayer, nrj
sou, until tarrying became presump
tion; I then hurled this raft upon th?
billows, and departed upon my mis
sion."
"Again you speak mysteriously
father. Might one know what tin
mission may bo which keeps a man 01
a raft, in the middle of tho ocean, a
aim as if lie were at vespersain bis.
?wu church?"
The priest smiled. "You forget,
oy son, that virtue is always tranquil
n the hour of trial; and you forget,
ooy a very important difference in
)ar situations."
"By no means," said the Const;
'I am aware that I om chilling in the
vater, while you are apparently at
?ase, in a cloak, against which 1 see
;ho water strike in vain. I would sug?
gest to yon that the virtue yon speak
>f could give a nobler proof of its
?fficacy, wero we to change places for
m hom-."
"Nay, my son, that idea is selfish
md unworthy. I impose a penance
apon you for having entertained it,
und enjoin yon to walk for one hour,
fasting, upon the ensuing morning."
"I pray that I may do so," said De
Burigny; 4,and I entreat yon to dou?
ble the penance, if you can thereby
double the chance of my performing
it."
"Jest not, my son; but remember
that you are still in a situation of
great danger; a wave may dash your
head against this raft, or may snap
the cord which holds you to it, and,
in either case, your own is desperate.
It would rather become you to make
a confession, and receive absolution
while you may."
"I have no objections, father, tho
less that I have nothing else to do;
but I give you fair warning that you
will have to wait for your dues till we
reach land."
"Hard-hearted, careless scoffer!
.what if that should not bo so cer?
tain?"
"Then, so much better for tho con?
fessor, father," said the Count, whoso
natural audacity did not desert him
even in that hour.
"And how much for thc penitent,
son?" asked the priest, sternly. "But
proceed, and that your wretched soul
may come the sooner to peace, I will
sa'jp you thc narration of a lifo of
crime, by apprising you that I know
you."
"By your mode of describing my
history, I think you do," said the
other. "I need not tell you, then,
that I am the Count Guillaume do
Burigny, a faithful servant of his
most Catholic Majesty-"
"A faithless husband to a broken?
hearted wife-a traitorous friend to a
trusting associate-and a treacherous
envoy to a betrayed people. You
need not. I know the libertinism
which ended in a murder couituittod,
if not by your own hand, by your
orders, and tho object with which you
have lied the scene of your guilt. I
know that the Count de Burigny,
having consummated a career of pro?
fligacy by a dastardly crime, which
Luis banished him from Franco, has
sought to purchase pardon for thc
ruin of a family by intriguing for thc
ruin of a nation."
"Ha!" exclaimed the Count; "you
are aware of my errand to Norway?'
"Ay," said the priest, "the sword
of Sweden, whoso blow already
hurtles iu the air, is less terrible tc
the Norwegians thau is the poison o!
France which you were sent to mix.
This time, however, tho cup shall bc
dashed from your hand. You laugh. '
"I do," said tho Count, "though
Heaven knows, this is no place fo:
mirth. You, who have such unex
ceptionablo information upon these
mattera, are doubtless aware that tin
cup you speak of ts mixed."
"And in a woman's hand, that i
may be presented. The Count dc
Burigny thinks ho can safely returi
to his master, while his beantifu
daughter remains to enforce, le
blandishment aud smile, the dari
lesson he has tried to teach. How i
she, too, have left Norway?"
A shudder ran through tho Count'
frame, and all the recklessness c
tone had left his voice as ho replied
"Eugenia-tell me, father, in pity
what know you of Eugenia? I lei
her in Bergen, in safe watching an
charge, though her work was some
what bold. Nav, speak-whateve
else I am, I am lier father-you d
not know-you cannot have henri
aught of her?"
"Nay," said tho priest; "I merci
asked what Count de Burigny \s nea
intrigue would be, should ho hei
that a noble and maidenly dispositio
.had boen revolted by the task he ha
given it, nnd that a daughter had s
lently left Bergen, and, following th
footsteps of her father, had secrotl
embarked-"
"Not in tho Droniheim- Mot in tl
accursed Drontheim, father? ' screan
ed, rather than exclaimed t'.io Conn
Tho priest made no roply, bi
pointed to the water. A sudden an
wondrous chango, had taken plac
upon its surface. In lieu of tl
foaming and dashing billows, tho si
had become calm as a mountain lal;
Tho roar of tho waves was hushec
but in its stead had arisen a kn
droning and distant sound, whit
brought with it a fear tho mind owi
ed but could not explain. Tho ru
had hitherto boen carried swift
along, but its speed was now hieren
ing ten-fold. The consternation
I tho Count became evident, but to j
his exclamations tho priest gave i
answer. That strange droning som
grow gradually louder, but tho o
struggled in vain to discover how
was composed. Still the raft linnie
on with lightning speed. Darline
was all around it, savo tho bright ri
gleam of tho priest's lamp.
Suddenly the thought of his dang
ter recrossed the Count's brain. 1
gasped- for the swiftness of thc
course now rendered speaking dil
cult: "Father, I implore yon! Wh
know you of Eugenia?"
Oupe moro the priest pointed si?
lently to the water, and, as the
Count's eve followed the motion, ho
beheld a form whirling by his side in
a current, the intense fierceness of
which rendered its surface smooth as
glass. There was thc corpse of a pale
and beautiful girl, lovely even in
death. Long and golden locks clus?
tered around her neck and shoulders,
but the locks were wet and tangled,
and the alabaster skin was becoming
blue with exposure to the water. Tho
eyes were closed-it was well they
wore so. That form was following
the raft, but the increasing velocity
of the latter left the corpse behind in
a moment-that moment had sufficed
for a father to recognize his daughter.
He uttered no word, but gaxed stea?
dily at the priest.
The terrible and indescribable
sound had now increased to a roar,
which would have rendered the voice
inaudible at the shortest distance.
The speed of the raft was now terri?
fic; yet it neither swerved nor swayed,
and the priest sat unmoved, return?
ing the stupified gaze of the Count.
Suddenly one side of the raft became
depressed, and in that position it
continued its furious career. The
roar had now become more hideous
than any noise which can be con?
ceived, and yet it was of a nature
that baffled the ear. Tho priest rose
slowly to his feet, and, preserving his
balance, apparently unconscious of
tho frightful slope of the hurrying
raft, he leaned to de Buriguy, and,
in a low tono which, in spite of the
horrible noise around, carried tho
full meaning of its words to the
Count's understanding, said:
"WE AIIE IN TUE MAELSTROM!"
They were, indeed, in that dread?
ful whirlpool-the most awful abyss
which disfigures thc face of creation.
That hideous roar, so strange and so
appalling, was the sound of the waters
which whirl and rage in the unfa?
thomable gulf. Louder and louder
still it waxed, until the ear could
bear no addition to tho noise, and
faster and faster flew thc raft, but
every instant it went deeper down
thc vortex. The wretched Do Bu?
riguy struggled with thc cord which
held him to tho raft, and sought to
break from it in vain. The link
which he had demanded when exer?
tion would have saved him, was now
the means of dragging more surely to
destruction. For one instant, he
looked upwards, and, to his horror,
beheld the red light of the lamp re
llected on a sloping wall of raging
water, rising a hundred yards above
him, down the sides of which he was
hurrying to an abyss on which lie
dared give no glance. Then his ?ye
turned to the raft there was no ono
upon it; but in the maddening agony
of that moment De Buriguy heard,
accompanied by a hellish laugh, the
words: "The priest's dues for thy
shrift are paid!" Thc next instant
the cords gave way, tho raft shot vio?
lently forwards, and Do Buriguy was
alone-in the Maelstrom.
