Fcoru.thc Memorial,
TSB sonr AOLS.
The following narrative is from the
Tips of a seaman, as related on board
of a vessel upon the Atlantic, when
indications of a storm wore upon the
heavens, similar to those disclosed
In the talc. To transplant it, from
'ho scene and circumstances of its
delivery, detracts much from its ef
fect. The scenery adds to the play,
end both are dependant for their in
teresting qualities! upon the state of
(he listener’s mind. Let him who
has but a single touch of romance |
to bis composition, imagine himself
on the relentless deep, away from aH
that he holds dear, subjected to the
dominion of wind and wave, end pas
sing a vacant hour among the sailors
on the forecastle, listening to their
wild tales of storm and death, and
he then may have a faint idea of that
mute attention which was bestowed
Upon this simple story. The author
pretends to no other credit than that
which is due to a translator
“Alight in the binnacle.” This!
order was given in that peremptory
manner, which shows that a man is
either ill at c iso with himself, or
■with thoso peculiar, circumstances
In which he is then involved. He,
from whose lips this order came,
knew not but that it might be deem
ed unmanly in him to begin, at that
moment, to guard against tho worst.
The topmasts had been struck, the
rigging coiled away in the most sea
manlike style, and the sun had now
sunk beneath a chaos of pillowy
clouds; leaving scarce a star, as a
ratine! to watch over the dreary
waste of waters. Yet, to the inex
perienced eye, there was nothing to
warrant any preparation against an
approaching tempest. A summer
evening breeze gently filled the reef
ed foresail, and the helmsman was
warbling snatches of sea-songs, in
termingled with sundry and diverse
musical caricatures of Anld Lasts
Bat the captain ami mate were ob
served to converse together in low
tones, and often to look at the rig
ging, and to cast stolen glafics to
ward the sky, which was then dying
every object with a fearful crimson.
The expiring sun-light, as it fell up
on the face of Cuptain Scars, gave in
deep outlines, one oft hose expressive
''ountenances, which arc frequently
found among the seamen of Nevr-
Eogland; and one could almost trace
marks of the storm upon his weath
er-beaten visage. On board of his
ship be ires a perfect autocrat -; but
in the btKkna of his family, or in the
social circle, he was the unaffectod,
amiable sailor, protending to nothing
la art or science higher than the truck
or deeper than the keel of his own
vessel. There was a beam hi his
eye, at the momeot of which we
have been speaking, allied to both
of these qualities—a note of pre
paration seemed to ring from bis
strung nerves, while a stoicism, as to
the rosuh, might have been drawn
his open and tearless counte
nance. The sailors followed with
their eyes the direction of bis looks
aud gestures, and with sedulous haste
obeyed his orders, as given through
the medium of his mates
A gradual increase of the breeze
Was noticed, and the hesitation of the
commander seemed changed from
doubt to certainty. He turned toa
young man near him, and said, in an
under tone, “do you mark that yoo
der glim has shut in, that those clouds
nre condensed, and do you see that
-oathery maze approaching us at the
*“ te of twenty knots an hour, upon
our weather bow *”
“And what thens was the reply,
then ?—you do not pre
tend to be ignorant that an equinoc
tial gale will be likely to give us a
•et birth for supper—or that it is
Oow coming on as though the very
devil directed it ? Comc, Monsieur

my jack-tars will stand by me as long
as a spike holds; yet they love your
jackoife better than my whole car
case—cheer up, give bad luck to the

but happiness may await yoU,"
“ 1 would rather,” soliloquised the
young man, “be gasping in those dark
waters, which are now rising in an
ger around me, and grope bay way
into those still coral caverns, which
are yawning beneath me. Was I not
born to a fortune, and have I not
endured penury ? Wore not these
hands once soil with luxury, and are
they not now hardened by toil ? Did
I not love thee, Mary, and wert not
thon, my bad of bliss, blighted by
misfortune ?—art thou not the bride
of another ? Why is it, that, heart
less myself, others attach themselves
to me, merely to be drawn into that
vortex of ruin, which mine own go
ing down has created ? A home un
der these troubled waves, were bet
ter than to live a thing without a hope
under a seeming lair sky of peace,
when the fiery demon of despair is
burning all within me. Yet these
poor fellows love me ; they love life
—I must save them.”
He started from bis musing posture
and it was as if lightning had dashed
across the decks. The cry was,
“ Frederick sees danger, and we
must do our utmost.” The foresail
was handed, a balance-reefed storm
staysail placed in i*s stead ; be was
on the maintop, bowsprit, and in
every part of the ship almost at the
same instant. The excitement was
such, that an indifferent observer
would have thought that all was in
sport—that a visitor was coming, or
a merry-making on foot. The cap
tain and mate seemed to have de
legated their authority, and Fed
crick, the moving cause of all which
followed. An instant of stillness
occurred after all was done, when
Frederick walked leisurely op to the
captain, and putting off all restraint,
grasped his hand, and in the lofty
tone of despair, urged him to state,
when (if ever) be should sec his
Mary, that she was the last object
upon which his earthly thoughts had
rested. The pressure was warmly
returned with the reply.
“ We have too long (duty to tho
icontwy ootwitbstaoding) kept out*

selves as strangers; should I not
survive, you will find that I have re
membered you. But 1 must attend
my duties. Assist me look at yon
mist, created by the storm, as it tabes
off the tops of the sea. Fnrowcll.”
Frederick repaired to his station,
and viewed calmly the tornado as it
came on. There were the unearth
ly sounds of contest heard, as the
winds and waters met in their fight ;
the frighted sea-bird; as she Bed from
the mad onset, was heard screaming
in the distance ; the saddened look
of the sailor, as he watched the
approach of the elemental army, be
tokened thoughts of his far home
and fire-side all seemed like that
instant, when the victim’s nock is
ready and before the fatal axe falls.
Yet Frederick cast but a glance at
the mast, and again settled into a re
verie, as an indifferent spectator of
the work of the Almighty
The first shock careened the ship
almost to a level with the sea—she
then went majestically onward, tri
umphing over the waters like a war
rior in the pride of victory. But on
ward and more furious came the foes.
Brace after brace snapped—sea af
ter sea swept the decks, at, if sea
and air were contending for the
prize. The cheering shouts of Fre
derick rose amid the roar and crash
es elements, until one wave, more
violent than the rest, tore tho cap
tain from the deck, and he was seen
amid the froth, struggling in the
agonies of death. There was a wild
shrink w; ich burst from the crew,
as the ship settled under its burthen
of waters, and when she arose from
the blow, not a particle of rigging
was standing—the masts were over
the side, and the decks swept as
closely as though some tremendous
machine had, at one ouset, severed
each timber and stanchcl. The mate
looked fearfully to the situation of
the captain, and then turned his eye
toward the place where Frederick
had stood In a moment he saw the
latter buffeting his way toward tho
formei, having in his hand the top
gallant-yard, and apparently swim
ming from the vessel. Two seas
more brought the captain on deck,
nearly exhausted, who murmured
“ Frederick,” yjd becugjy lusewr
Hu.
The gale died away by degrees,
though the swell of the sea still con
tinued, and the next morning dawned
upon a mastless bark, which lay in
her inefficiency upon the billows,
with spars floating all around her.
A disabled ship, with but a bare fore
mast standing, was seen caprioling
upon the waves astern, and the ele
ments were gradually and slowly
subsiding.
Captain Sears' feelings were so
goaded, that he was almost driven
mad, wheu he recollected that his
young companion had sacrificed
himself upon the altar of romantic
friendship. The last words which
he had heard from Frederick’s lips,
while they were on the waves to
gether, were continually ringing m
his ears, “you have competence and
domestic attachments—l have nei
ther; take this and be saved.”
Jurymasts wero raised, repairs
made, the sailors lamented the fate
of their beloved comrade, and, at
last, their destined port was reached
in safety.
I cannot describe Mary. It is
woll known that a coincidence exists
between man’s life and the seas and
winds—upon the ocean, in one lati
tude, the breath of heaven stirs not
its face “too roughly”—in another,
there arc the demons of destruction
raging in their fiercest mood. With
man it is thus—to-day his course is
that of the placid river—to-morrow
what once was peace, is thrown into
commotion, and the original beauty
is changed. On the evening of the
shipwreck Mary was strolling in un
easy listiessucss upon the margin of
the sea, entirely unconscious that
every part of it was not as quiet as
that which met her gaze. 1 cannot
describe Mary, as I have said ; but
she was one who seemed born to
cheer, and not to sadden—there was
a joyousness in her dark eye, yet
sorrow dwelt around her lip. It was
not that her ringlets were glossy—
nor that she was fair—not that her
cheeks wore the hue of health ; I
have seen many such, and forgotten
them ; but it was the combination
of all hor features, set off by a love

and which, once seep, would have

by whom man would wish to be be
loved. Her thoughts were upon the
sea, upon one ship which was daily
expected.
The moon was then shining upon
the white tops oftlie bounding wave;
tho distant cloud just blushed the
edge of the horizon with the damask
tinge of lightning, and the mild wind,
as it threw back herraven hair, blew
auspiciously for the return of Fre
derick. I will not say but that she
more than once thought of an event
which might follow. She coursed
the winding shore, stopped to view
n piece of the wreck of some ship
which had just floated on shore,
burst into tears, and went home to
weep over the dangers of the sea
There is a loveliness in the grief ol
a beautiful womau, which interests
deeply, although wo know not the
cause of her sorrow ; it is not allied
to love, when wc behold it, but it
constrains us to vow that we will
achieve impossibilities to remove it.
Mary had a lively, but a sensitive
affection, and that piece of perhaps
antiquated wreck, which she beheld,
was the harbinger of a destruction
to her dearest hopes. Association,
with its shadowy forms, will some
times daunt the mind more effectually
than when reality presents to one the
tangible forms ofhuman wo. It was
thus with Mary; a decayed piece of
a wrecked ship which had long since
been covered by the deep, awoke
terrors for the fate of her lover which
were not the less severe because
they were the work of her imagi
nation.
A few years passed by, when the
commander, who had not forgotten
the perils of that night which have
been faintly described, called togeth

his companions in the fearful scene.
Ho sat at the head of the table, a
true picture of the open-hearted,
generous seaman ; with his mate on

him. He seemed sad, as if some as
sociations connected with former
years, had brushed a dark wing a
cross his memory. Th careless
jokes of his unthinking companions
awoke no smile upon his lips. Hr

in her effulgence upon the frost as
it spangled the meadow, and glitter

the lighthouse twinkled on the beetl*

“ My aunt Shakerly was of an Cf

There is a vastness in the outline,
of even moderate proportions, till
the inass is rounded off by shadows,
that makes the hand hesitate, and
apt to stiut the figure of its propet

ventured to trace, like mapping in a

her arm cased in a tight sleeve, was
